EAGLES DEFEAT
 WOOD PACKERS
 THREESTRAIGHT
Victors Seem Certain of Winning First Half of
 Bowling Series

Only miracle can keep the Eagles from winning the first half of the Elks tournament. They won three straight from the Wood- peckers last night and if the un- forseen were to happen and they were to lose all their three re- maining games, they would be tied with the Robins. Capt. Lavenik when interviewed last night, said it was all over but the shouting and said he has given orders to his men to let down in the second half and give the other teams chance.
 High Fetal of 603
 Lavenik bowled high total of 603 for the evening in the first match and high score of 225. This is the second 600 game Martin has rolled in succession. Metcalf had a nice total of 585, Sabin 545 and Boyle 513.
 In the second match the Spar rows ruined the pennant hopes Of the Crows by winning two out of three. Henning bowled high total of 572 and high score of 221. Hend- rickson was close behind with 560. Bavard made 548 and Selby 530.
 Tonight a postponed game be- tween the Owls and Parrots will be played at 6..30 sharp.

JUNEAU HALIbUT PRICES EQUAL.
 TO SAMPLES
Spread of } Cents Is Ab- sorbed by Boxing and
 Handling Charges

Sixteen cents pound, the price for first grade halibut in Seattle yesterday, according to Associated Press advices, compares favorably with the 13 cents a pound that first grade halibut brought yester- day on the fish exchange auction here. The spread of cents be- tween Seattles Is cents and Ju- neau's 13 cents is needed to cover boxing, icing freighting and wharf age charges on shipments from here there.
 The schooner Sitka, which came off the banks early this week and ran past Juneau, did not unload any of her 112,00o-pound cargo at Prince Rupert. B. c. She was not satisfied with market condi- tions there, and left the British Columbia port for Seattle yesterday afternoon. The Sitka's shipment represents catches of several boats and she is transporting the fish and will sell it for the account Of the various owners.
 The price of 16 cents in Seattle is disappointing to fishing interests here. Last year, the opening Seattle quotation exec ded 30 cents a pound.
 Yesterdays sale in Seattle iu- volved only $50 pounds of fish, and the transaction hardly indi- cates what market conditions will obtain when customary receipts prevail.

MILK SHOULD BE ADDED TO WAFFLE
 BATTER GRADUALLY
This Method Insures Smooth, - Light, Lumpless Batter

< Every cook knows that it is risky to pour all the milk. at once into the flour when making waffles. In spite of vigorous stirring the batter will invariably contain Jumps.
 Coffee roasted in bulk also in wolves risk. Even the most skilled operator cannot prevent variation in the roast because the quantity is too large to handle. As result, some of the coffee berries are over done and some underdone. Such variation in the roast causes varia- tion in flavor.
 Realizing this, Hills Bros., in San Francisco, perfected and pat ented a process that roasts every coffee berry evenly. By automatic control, only a few pounds at a time pass through the roasters in which heat is also automatically controlled. When the coffee finally leaves the roasters, it is perfectly uniform in color and roast and gives a delicious. flavor in the cup that no other coffee can equal.
 No matter when or where you buy Hills Bros. Coffee, it is as fresh and complete in it's exclusive flavor and aroma as when it came from the roasters. This is because Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in vacuum-a process that takes air, which destroys coffee flavor, from the can. The ordinary air-tight can does not keep coffee fresh. Hills Bros. Coffee is sold everywhere. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab the trademark - on the can.

Ship Launchings in l93O
 Greatest in Nine Years

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-Ton- mage of merchant vessels launched throughout the world in 1880 was the greatest since the peak of wartime shipbuilding boom in 1921.
 Launchings totaled 2,889 ,000 gross tons, says the department of com merce, gain Of 96,000 gross tons over 1929. The returns showed that for the first time the ton mage of motor ships launched ex- ceeded that for all other types Of vessels combined.
 United States shipyards launched almost double the tonnage they did in 1929, making the country sec- end only to Great Britain and Ire- land in volume of output. The year before it was in fifth place.

 FISH INDUSTRY
Meeting of Halibuters and Vessel Owners Brings
 No Result

SEATTLE, Feb. 25.-Efforts to settle the fishermen's strike in the halibut industry failed at a meet ing of the members of the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union last night.
 The Fishing Vessels Owners As- seeiation submitted an agreement in effect during 1929 and 1930 which was rejected, the fishermen deciding to remain on a strike. The men agreed, however, to ex- tend the time limit from three to eight weeks during which they would pay the hole" bills to the owners while the vessel was laid up for repairs, resulting from an accident.

DELAWARE NEEDS
SUMMER RAINS
[Continued from First Pagc]

[COHtiRHed from First Page]
that the reserve of soil moisture has
practically disappeared in these
areas.
Taking these conditions into con-
sideration, Mr.. Kincer states that
rainfall of normal intensity is es-
sential all summer and until the
end of September to prevent another
drought and serious damage to farm
crops this year. According to the
weather bureau there is faint pos
sibflity of another dry summer, as
previous records show a tendency
for one dry year to follow another,
but this tendency, however, is not
sufficiently reliable to be used as a
basis for forecasting.
In order to prevent the reoccur-
renee of the drought conditions in
1880, therefore, more rain than nor
NAL will be required to build up a
sufficient reserve supply of moisture
in the soil in those sections of the
United States which were so seri-
Ously affected by dry weather last
year.

SOMETHING FOR THE FARMER
TO CONSIDER

1t is estimated that at present
there are some 30,0O0,O0O pounds of
quality dairy butter in storage.
Prices are the lowest in 25 years.
This may seem tremendous sur
plus but, as the Dairymen's League
Cooperative Association of New
York points out, it could be entirely
eliminated if each of the six million
American farm families would use
one extra pound of butter per week
for period of five weeks.
Is is brought, further, that the
dairy farmer himself is not without
blame. A survey of crossroads and
village grocery stores disclosed that
a large part of butter substitutes
sold in this country arc purchased
and consumed by farm families, fin
spite of the fact that these substi-
tutes are lacking in the protective
vittamin found in genuine quality
dairy products.
1t looks as if the solution to the
dairy phase of the farm problem is
largely a matter for the farmer him
self to solve through his own dinner
table. PSI

new PUPILS ARE
TO BE- EXAMINED
State Board OF Health To
Give Physical Examina-
tiOns Next Week.

The Milford Board of Education
has secured the cooperation of the
State Board of Health for making a
physical examination of children
who are to enter school in Septem-
ber. This examination is given with
the idea of having both parents and
teachers satisfied that the children
who are to enter school in Septem-
Der are physically fit to be expected
to do school work and still maintain
normal health and growth. Surely,
if children have any defects of eyes,
or ears, or teeth, or any other phys
ical handicap, it should be discover
ed, if not already known, long
enough before the opening of school
for something to be done about it.
The State Board of Health is send
ing DR.. C. A. Sargeant and Miss
Galloway, the nurse, who are both
well known to the people of the
community, to the elementary school
in Milford, on Monday, June 8;
Tuesday, June 8, and Wednesday,
June 10, from nine O'Clock until
twelve o'clock daily. If there is suf-
ficient response to this announce
ment, they will also be in that
building on Wednesday afternoon
from one to four. They will be at
the colored school on Monday after
noon from one to four to examine
the children who may be brought
there for that purpose. This will
provide an excellent opportunity for
the parents to enter their children
and give the necessary information
regarding them and will save MAX
ing this effort later in the season.
Parents are urged to indicate their
in regard to bringing the
children on these dates by signing
the slips which will be sent home
in as many cases as is possible for
this purpose.
All children who will become six
years of age on or before January l,
1882, may enter school on Septem-
ber 8, 1881.

ALONG LIFE'S WAY

With the passing weeks in the life

much to encourage the publisher
and especially is this real pleas
ure which repays for a helpful effort
to make life better for some one,
when it takes form of letter of ap-
probation to complete the informa-

through publicity.
The following letter from Miss
Elizabeth Woodward, director of the
Children's Bureau of Delaware, un-
der date of June ], 1881, completes
and pays most literally for cOmpli-
ance with a request by Miss Wood
ward for publicity on behalf of two
orphan children. Her letter follows:
Editor Milford Chronicle,
Dear Sir
l want to thank you very much
for inserting our advertisements
free of charge. The last one which
you placed for us three weeks ago
brought us very good home indeed
for brother and sister. You have
such a large circulation that it
reaches the sort of people who
might be interested in the Bureaus
children.
Again with many thanks, I am,
Sincerely yours,

which they have selected to become
teachers and up until the present
time they are all required to have
spent IL hours of every semester in
studying teaching methods and prac-
tice. During the coming year this
number of hours is to be increased
from IL to IS in every semester.
Another Delaware high school
plan that is increasing teacher eff
cheney is the new plan of &c or
ganization, by which the State
Board of Education is requiring
teachers in the seventh and eighth
grades and above to be college
trained. Heretofore college training
has been the requirement only for
those in the ninth grade and above.
Another advance in Delaware
high school opportunities is assured
through the passage by the last
Legislature of a bill which differen-
tiates in allowance per pupil, based
on the grade. Under this new law
the State makes an allowance based
on 500 per pupil for the upper three
grades, $82.50 per pupil for the next
three grades and an amount that it
is estimated by Mr.. Shilling will be
around $6S for the lower six grades.
of the increased cost
for schooling, as the pupil is fur
ther advanced, will give the high
schools a much betteropportunity
for increased service than under the
old plan by which a certain allot-
ment per pupil was made on fiat
basis, no matter where the child
might be studying,
The graduation dates in the vari-
GUS schools run from June to
June Is and the number to be grad
mated from each is as follows:
