OCTOBER BUSINESS SHOWING
ABNORMALLY RAPID INCREASE

Although business activity receded
last month to generally low levels,
some evidences have appeared OF
seasonal increases during the first

compared with 1875 per cent in 1929.
The volume of freight moved, though
well mellow last years, will show

LARGE ATTENDANCE
AT DELAWARE COLONY
"POUND PARTY"

The Delaware Commission for
Predetermined, through their secre-
tary, John b. Hutton, Esquire, ex-
pressed their appreciation for the
excellent attendance, and the gener-
Gus donations, at their Pound
Party" last Saturday. About five
hundred guests took the opportunity
to inspect the facilities of the Della
ware Colony, and much interest was
expressed in the educational program
in progress of development there.
The new school facilities, nearing
completion in the new administra-
tion building, will be in use very
soon, and as additional funds are
available, an additional teacher will
be employed.
A play, "The Doll Shop" was Civ
ell by the children of the school de-
partment, and proved to be the CEN
ter of attention. The boys and girls
showed surprising ability in the
dances, recitations and songs that
made up the playlet, which speaks
well for the patient care used in their
training. ...
Inspection of the cottages provid-
cd an opportunity to observe the
training received by the children in
household duties. such as bed-mak-
ing, sweeping, cleaning, etc. The
farm, being in close proximity to the
various cottages, displayed another
of the facilities for training offered,
especially to the boys, in that they
are taught to be of help in the many
operations that go to make up the
conduct of modern farm.
The commission and the superin-
tendent wish to take this opportun-
ity to express to their many friends |
who were unable to attend the ex-
ercises, their appreciation for the
many donations and hearty cooper
alton which helped make the event
such a signal success.

PICK EXTRACTS
WITH CARE

Too little attention is paid to
the part which the type of flavor.
ing extract used plays in cookery.
When housewife bakes a
cake, almost instinctively she in
SiSts on purchasing the best
quality of eggs, milk and other
ingredients which a particular
recipe requires. However, when
this same housewife purchases
flaVoring extract. she is very
likely to order a bottle Of van
lila" or her spices, or candied
fruit, and give the matter no
further consideration.
The proportionate cost of the
flavoring extract which is used
in cakes varies from 2 to 5 per
cent of the cost of all other in
gradients of the recipes. Yet
truly delicious flavor is often
entirely lost because the house
wife uses an imitation or a poor
product.
