If it were possible for Safety
Sally" to interview every Delaware
automobilist and innumerate the
number of accidents caused by the
road hos" hogging the road, this
selfish and unfair practice would be
practically eliminated.
Some motorists forget that they
have no just claim on the middle of
the road Drive as far to the right
as conditions will permit. Where the
road is wide enough for two lines
of cars each way, if you want to
drive slowly, keep over to the right
side. Never cross the center line OF
a road to pass cars on the above
mentioned type of highway. If the
highway is only wide enough for
one car each way never cross the
center line unless you have a clear
visible road for at least two hun
dred feet.
Cheating at cards comes pretty
low down on our social scale. Yet
cheating in traffic is often upheld as
clever. The Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil believes that if cheating in traf-
fic were held as questionable as
creating at cards our traffic trou-
bles would be just about over.
The road NOPE is as bad as the
road hog and the driver who passes
and then falls behind or who cuts in
is a menace. Get in your lane of
traffic and keep moving at a good
speed with regard to existing con-
ditions. Any irratic action on your
part often cOnfuses other drivers
and sets the stage for an accident.
The road hog forgets that the eX-
ercise of kindness to others, cOnsid- |
Grafton and true courtesy will pre-
vent other operators from getting a
wrong attitude of mind for driving |
in traffic
Any operator who losses his or |
her temper, who becomes sulky, or
is abnormal from any one of many |
causes is unfit to drive be-
cause his vehicle provides medium
of expression for his personality. If
that personality is upset he is bound
to make trouble for himself and for
for both. Observe
the golden rule-"Always Be Con-
sid Lrate of Others"

PARENT-TEACHER
ASSOCIATIONS

At the Parent-Teacher Associa
ton Institute at Seaford. Saturday
October II. attended by representa-
tives of consolidated and State unit
school districts. Miss Eta J. Wilson
chairman of the State Program
Committee, reported the result OF
six months work of that committee
THE committee" said Miss Will
son, would like to regard itself as
secretary to collect material foi
local associations to. help them meet
their own peculiar needs. We rec
OgniZe the fact" continued Miss
Wilson, that our problem has
changed. A large proportion of the
children of the State are attending
school in consolidated districts. The
Parent-Teacher Association has a
splendid record of achievement i'm
the smaller units. We believe this
should, and will, be a source of in
spiratiOn for the future"
The sectional meeting for pro-
gram chairmen proved to be help
ful conference on how a technique
for Parent Education work might be
developed.
Miss Wilson presided over the
general session in the adbsence of
State President, Howard 4. Ennis,
who was unable to leave StOckley
on account of the annual fall Visit
ing Day at Delaware Colony. Miss
Elizabeth II. Mensch, assistant to
Mr.. Ennis, led the roundtable for
presidents.
AS chairman of the Summer
Roundup Committee, Miss Mensch
urged all local chairmen to send
full reports of their follow-up work
TO her at the Delaware Parent-Tea-
cher Association headquarters,
M-207, Delaware Trust Building, in
Wilmington, by October 20, in order
that the report to the State Board
of Health and to the National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers
might be complete. OF the 216 chill
dren examined in Sussex county, no
physical defects were discovered in
eighty-eight In the judgment of
the examining physician most of
these defects are easily remediable
now. If neglected they may prove
TO be serious handicaps in the
child's later school life.
Publicity chairmen, who are well
aware of the fact that it is difficult
to make the average parent see the
need for Parent Education confer
ences, met with Mrs. Orville r.
Wright, for an Interchange of ideas
Miss Marguerite H. Burnett, di-
rector of the Bureau of Adult Edu-
cation, urged each community to
consider its own needs, instead of
applying for something because
another community has enjoyed it.
Miss Burnett reminded the group !
that all applications for adult class
es must be submitted by the local |
school authorities, regardless of |
what organization promotes the in
terest in the class.
Marcellus S. Blackburn, Dover,
presided at the afternoon institute
for colored workers. Mr. Blackburn
attended the National Congress of
COlOred Parents and Teachers in
at which the Delaware
Branch was awarded a banner for
the largest increase in membership
in proportion to population. While
in Washington Mr.. Blackburn was
elected Third Vice President of the
National organization.

Bread, rice or Indian buildings and
shortcakes made with dried fruits are
suggested as desserts which fit in with
the economy program. Such savings
as that of fuel by serving such vege-
tables as cabbage and onions raw is
emphasized.
The danger of such a minimum
standard diet becoming undurably
monotonouS can be avoided by the art
of cooking, it is emphasized, and the
Bureau of Home Economics will issue
menus and recipes for different dishes
from the standard material But much
responsibility will rest on the housewife
herself to use the meats which can be
purchased most cheaply in different
parts of the country at different times.
A minimum food supply for a hus-
band, wife and three young children is
prescribed as follows for a week: Eight
teen to 20 pounds of flour, % to %
quarts of milk, to l y pecks of pota-
toes, l to 2 pounds of dried beans, peas
or peanut butter; 3 quarts of canned
tomatoes, Is to 10 pounds of vegetables
and fruits, 212 pounds of fats such as
butter, lard, salt pork and bacon; or
pounds of sugar and molssseS, 5 to Z
pounds Of lean meat, fish, cheese or eggs,
and eggs in addition for the children.
Most food prices, it is pointed out
are not exceptionally high, and some
items are cheaper than they have been
before for years This is true specifi-
cally of flour, although in many parts
of the country it has not been reflected
in the price of bread.

Cost for NouriShment.

The food problems of thousands of
American families, operating on greatly
reduced budgets because of the drought
and the industrial depression. has been
attacked by President Hoover's Emery
ency Committee on Unemployment.
The attack is directed by DR.. Lillian
NJ. Gilbreth, noted efficiency engineer
and chairman of the woman'S division

rally again the numerous organizations
that co-operated in Mr.. Hoover's food
administration during the war.
The present situation, Mrs. Gilbreth
points out is essentially different from
that of wartime, yet its solution re-
quires similar measures. Then most
families had plenty of money, but it was
necessary to conserve food for the fight

and the farmer had to part with the
pig before the Fall butchering to pay
taxes. Many such families are believed
to be running on an extremely low food
supply until Spring brings fresh vege-
tables, and the committee believes this
can hardly fail to have serious effects,
especially on the growing children.
The food list. demands milk for the
children and bread for everybody at
every meal; cereal, potatoes, a green or
yellow vegetable and some additional
fruit or vegetable for everybody every
day, and tomatoes or oranges for chill
dren every day. In addition, it insists
that tomatoes for everybody, dried beans
or peas and peanuts, and lean meat.
fish or poultry, or cheese be served to
everybody two to four times a week,
with eggs for the children. This diet
contains everything necessary for health
and most of its items are staples which
do not vary much in price. The excep-
tons are meat and milk. In some
parts of the drought area fresh milk is
hard to obtain at reasonable prices be-
cause of the forced sale of cattle, but
elsewhere there is a surplus. Milk is
held an indispensable item, but where
the price runs higher than from 10 to
IL cents a quart housewives are urged
to substitute unsWeetened canned milk
or dry skim milk which contains the
essential nutritional factors.

CUBAN POLICE HALT
MARCH BY GIRLS
Streets Thronged by Demon
Stration Against "Tram-

BY the Associated Press.

HAVANA, January 9.-Havana police
are wondering what they will do if
all the serious-minded girls take up
politics. A new problem of enforce
ment of order has presented itself and
has them puzzled.
Fifty girls gathered at Central Park
yesterday and, led by man and two
women, started to march toward the
presidential palace, breaking out two
banners with the words, Down With
the Executive Power"
BY the time the girls had gone two
blocks they were being followed by
hundreds of men, automobile traffic
became congested and the police lined
themselves across the Prado and
Animas street and prevented the pro-
cession going further toward the
