You will have to award Max the bouquets!" Jimmy Crane said to Aileen as they drank a toast to their absent member. You and Viv will meet in a public theatre with plenty of people whose mem cries count, looking on when you do. After that, your being together whenever you choose to meet is perfectly OK. That means no ones going to guess that La Masque is Aileen Gray. Gluck doesn't know it-nor Saunders. Let Arnold Kron- berg think what he likes. He can't make much of it."
 The portals of Kronberg's thea tre swung open with considerable elan. Kronberg stood in the foyer surrounded by a circle of friends Burns, one of the theatrical crit : ics, chuckled as he saw Max Klein alighting from his limousine. His opera hat on the back of his head, cigar in his ringed fingers, Klein assisted three feminine guests to step showily from his car
 "Is this equalization? The King is dead, long live the King'?' Burns asked Kronberg facetiously as he recognized the women. They were Julie Sorano, Alys Doyle and Edna yellamy, two of Max Klein's former stars and one whose rise was pre- dicted.

 "Who?" he asked.
 La Masque, of course, you dumb bell!" The entire house was pos sessed of the same idea. The foyer was almost impossible.
 Max Klein stood on tip-toe. He saw Charming and Vivienne speak 1 ing to Jimmy Crane Jimmy pre- sented Viv to La Masque as though they were total strangers.
 That was one danger avertcd, but Klein was mystified There was something omnibus in the fact that, thus far. nothing had been achieved by Kronbergs having ex- erted himself to have both sisters there.
 Klein knew that Aileen saw him now, and he signaled caution as their glancss met "Jimmy!" he called and poked Crane with his stick. "The girls want to meet Mademoiselle."

 "Hooey!" laughed Edna and pow dered her nose. I'm just a captive maiden attached to the conqueror' $ train" She tilted her head to in- spect herself in the mirror of her compact, and carefully flicked the powder dust from the tiny crescent beauty-spot at the corner of her mouth.
 Klein was conscious of a finger poking at his ribs as his party en- tered the box reserved for them. "Look!' whispered Julie Sorano Isn't that the radio girl? Over there with Jimmy Crane"
 Aileen was just sitting down, close to the rail of the loge. AS though a spotlight played on her, the faint illumination of a shaded bracket-lamp made the porcelain mask stand out in the semi-dark- ness. All about, there were mur- murs. People were pointing out La Masque.
 You who nave nails, prepare to bit them nowl" Julie Sorano laugh ed softly. "Kronberg must be crazy going to remember what his pictures all about. He might have had sense enough to know that mask would stop the show"

Study Business And
Home Problems

The past week has been a very
busy but interesting one for the
Sophomores. In English Miss Hill
has been reading to us 1.-THE Ancient
Mariner" by a well-known writer,
Coleridge. This poem holds our at
tention till the end of the period.
The Bookkeeping class is well
started on their second set of books.
Opening our envelopes we find
many different business forms that
are used in the modern business
world. Miss farrell, our bank,
makes these business transactions
seem real to us. There are nine
envelopes for the month of Noyem-
Der. We are now ON the seventh
one. AS we open these, we are cur
ious to see what they contain.
The life history and dissection of
the frog is occupying our time i'll
Biology. 1t is very queer to be cut
ting up these slippery looking OBJ
iects. Mr.. Morrison. who substitut-
ed for Miss Moss few days last
week, was a competent teacher, hut
we were glad when Miss Moss re-
turned. While he was there, he
told two bright members of our
class that their beauty would not
improve the looks of their report
card. The joke ended with be-
coming blush by the guilty ones and
u burst of laughter from the rest.
Miss Schmermund is now teach
ing her class how to be economical
in the home. She hasahad the girls
write reports on different phases of
the work. One of thestopics suitable
for debate was tho advantages and
disadvantages of chain and local
stores.
Thelma Beebe, who is in the hos

will soon be well enough to return
home. Her classmates have given
her a beautiful pot of blue hya-

Section 73 is forming courtesy
club. Each one of the class wrote
down one thing that he could do to
be more courteous to the faculty
the officers and pupils of the school
The things that were written down
were very good and there were
hardly any alike. Such things as the
following were suggested:
Taking the teachers trays when
they have finished eating and
cleaning them off.
2-Holding doors between the stair
ways open when we are passing
from one class to another.
always keeping to the right
when walking through the halls
and asking to be excused when
you walk into someone or in
front of him.
4-Keeping the school ground
clean and protecting the grass
and shrubbery.
They decided that the secretary
should write this UP in his book and
the courteous things to do should
be read at least once a week.
Into our midst we wish to well
come Alvin Greenly, from Americus,
Georgia, and Edward Davis from
Wilmington, Delaware.

SORGHUM MILLS
THING OF PAST
Once Common Food NOJU
Almost Legendary

Fifty years ago almost every farm
house had its barrel of sorghum, a
syrup derived from sugar cane by a
process native to Delaware. Many
sorghum mills also thrived during
this time, and it was considered a
great treat to go. with father to have
the sorghum made. AS far as | have
been able to find out sorghum is
planted in very much the same man
ner as corn, the only difference is
about two weeks apart in planting.
Sorghum was planted before corn;
it was tended in much the same
way as corn, and when it had ripen-
ed thoroughly it was first stripped
and then cut with a corn knife. 1t
was then placed in bundles and
loaded on the wagons. The next day
would be a day Of activity for it
meant a trip to the sorghum mill
where there was certain to be plen-
ty of congenial company. The sorg-
hum mills were not very elaborate
affairs, in fact the greater number
were rather primitive, but they ac-
complished their work i'll way that
was generally satisfactory. The mill
consisted of roller which
the green cane and extract
ed the juice, this raw syrup was
then placed in a still-like apparatus
and cooked until it had reached
certain degree of fineness in favor.
1t was then sampled and given an
other cooking after which it was
judged to be perfect in every re-
spect, and the owner of the sorg-
hum mill took his pay in the syrup.
Often, however, the cooking was not
watched carefully enough, and the
syrup would have slightly burnt
Taste. This was enjoyed by some
people but it destroyed the fine flaw
)r that it would otherwise have had.
Native sorghum is not made now,
but the memory fingers on, and
signs are heard at the
table when grandfather
aments over the fact that he must
now use corn product substitute
or his once beloved sorghum.

MEAT STORY
CONTEST OPEN
TO ALL GIRLS
University Scholarship
The Prize

Local high school girls are to
have a chance to win a university
scholarship through participation in
an essay contest which has just
been launched.
Announcement of this event, the
Eighth National Meat Story Con-
test, has been received from the
National Live Stock and Meat
Board headquarters in Chicago. The
Board is sponsor of the contest,
which, it is said, also has the in
dorsement of the Bureau of Home
Economics of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, the home economics
departments of a number of state
universities and colleges, and high
school home economics teachers.
Each year since the first contest
in 1924, between ten and fifteen
thousand girls have been entered by
their teachers and it is expected
that the enrolment for 1881 will at
least equal and perhaps surpass that
of previous years. In addition to
the university scholarships there
will be cash awards for every state,
it is said.
Judging of the stories will be in
the hands of a committee of prom
inent home economics authorities.
This committee has not been Sc

WEALTH OF
MILFORD STORED
IN CHESTS
No Vaults Fifty Years
Ago

Banking in Milford fifty years age
was conducted in rooms in the home
now occupied by DR.. Marshall To-
Gated ON North Front street. This
was a branch established by the
Smyrna bank. Mr.. John B. Smith
and Mr.. Isaac S. Truitt were act
ing as cashier and teller. At this
time there were no safe vaults as
there are today, but instead large,
heavy, iron chests. OF course these
were none too strong and banks
were often looted of their money.
Later the First National Bank was
formed and the Smyrna bank with
drawn. Col. H. B. Fiddiman acted
as the first president and Mr.. John
B. Smith and Mr.. Isaac S. Truitt
were transferred from the branch
office. This bank was located at the
corner of North Front street and
Walnut street, where the present
bank now stands, and served most
of the peninsula south of Milford
for many years. The banking of this
period was purely commercial, that
is receiving deposits subject to
check and making loans. No inter-
est was paid on deposits at this
time.
