q. OF ID. CAFETERIA TO CLOSE
Failure Of Students Support Cause
of This Action After Holidays

dIluTe Ol StuueDtS support cause
of This Action After Holidays
Because of the fact that so few
students have used it during the
present college year the cafeteria
at Delaware College, University of
Delaware, will be closed following
the Christmas holidays. This ac-
ton was taken by the board of
trustees at their semi-annual meet
ing Saturday on recommendation
of A. G. Wilkinson, business adj
ministrator. The feeding of stu
dents at Delaware College has been
a problem that has given the ad-
ministrative officials and the trus-
tees of the university much concern
for several years. In the opinion
of many of those concerned in try
ing to work out this problem it is
practically impossible to have a
plan that sufficient students will
patronize to make it possible for
the university to operate without
a large loss. On two of three diff
ferent occasions the Commons plan
has been tried but this did not
prove satisfactory to enough stu
dents to make it practical to carry
it on. Then the cafeteria plan was
inaugurated. This failed once and
was started again as was the Com
mons plan on petition of the stu
dents but both have now failed.
One reason for this is the fact
probably half of the students body
of Delaware College, composing
about 470 students, live in Will
mington or close enough to the
college to commute. The closing
of the cafeteria will mean that
every student of the college will
have to get their meals off the
campus. Mr.. Wilkinson has work
ed diligently for years to involve a
plan that would satisfy majority
of the students but without sue
cessfuI results.

Eat Things That Agree
With You, Says Expert

When a husband comes home, he
doesn't want to know whether vi
tamins A, b, @ and d are in his
meal, or whether it has the right
number of calories. he wants his din
ner.
This is the opinion of Ivan Kreins,
headmaster of the London eng
land) county school of cookery, who
has turned out hundreds of first
class cooks OF both sexes.
He says, however, that foreign
cookery is mistake, adding:
MY own view is that cooking
Is a matter of climate. Foreign
foods are all very well in their Own
country, but my theory is they lose
their value when imported.
''The scientific meal Is an illu.
sion. | could produce you a per
fectly balanced meal where every
thing would be just right, but If
you sit down to it and leave the
items you don't like, where Is the
balance? AS likely as not you would
leave out the scientific portion.
1.-THE only sensible thing to do is
to eat the things you know agree
with you. That is the way to the
best nutrition"

Bibles Literary Merit

The Bible, either in its early
forms or in its latest revisions, is
considered to be of the highest lit
erary type of the age in which each
was conserved or published. The
conciseness and chronological clear
ness of the earlier books, the de-
scriptive perfection, the lyric quail
ity of the psalms and poetical
works and the perfection of the
narration of the New Testament
would place the Bible, aside from
it's religious value, at the head Of
all literary productions of any pc
Rod.

OYSTERMEN WANT NEW LAW
Planning Fight Against 3-inch Gull
Law at Next Session Legislature

With the next session of the
Maryland Legislature a year dis
tant, Kent Island oystermen are
planning an aggressive offensive
against the three-inch Gull law,
which makes it illegal for oysters
to be marketed unless they meas
ure three full inches from hinge to
mouth, regardless Of the waters in
which they may be tonged. Dis
satisfaction Of many oystermen
with the law in based upon the fact
that in certain sections Of Chesa-
peake Bay and some of its tribu-
taries, oysters grow so slowly be
cause of the influx of fresh water,
that it is virtually impossible to
make profitable catches without
more than 5 per cent of the oysters
below the three-inch size. The law
requires a rigid culling of oysters,
and any tonger or buyboat owner
found to have oysters containing
more than per cent of bivalves
below the three-inch measurement
faces a fine of S25 and costs. Oys-
termen admit that in certain sec
tions of the bay and some Of its
tributaries, the three-inch law is
not exceptionally burdensome, be-
cause oysters grow rapidly. In
other tributaries, however, partic-
ularly where quantities of fresh
water are constantly mingling with
the salt water of the bay, the BIZ
valves are stunted.

Plant for Boat Building at Lewes

Mayor u. w. Hooker, of Lewes,
is in communication with persons
in Pennsylvania in reference to the
establishment of yacht building
and repair plant for Lewes. 1t has
always been wonder why such a
project was not started in Lewes
because it is generally admitted
that the location there is an ideal
spot for shipyard for repairs to
boats, etc. The men who are con-
sidering the establishment of the
project at Lewes, state that even
the Government boats out of Lew
es and Cape May, are compelled to
go to Virginia for repairs.

No 'fThoroughbred" Cattle

Purebred animals are horses, cat
tie, sheep, or other domesticated ami
mails whose ancestry are known,
whose parents and grandparents
have been registered in the proper
way in the breed records. The word
thoroughbred is the name of a dis
tinct breed of light horses which
hare been bred for many centuries
for their speed and stamina, hav-
ing come originally from the union
of the Arabian and Turkish horses
with the English type Of horse.
There cannot therefore be any such
thing as thoroughbred cattle.

STATE DETECTIVE VACANCY
MAY Be FILLED SHORTLY
MANY APPLICATIONS BEING
RECEIVED FROM ASPIRANTS
State Detective for New Castle
County to Be Appointed by Gov
ernOr Buck ON Recommendation

4
It is expected that the office of
State detective for New Castle
county, left vacant by the resigna-
ton of Freeman Messick, who held
the position since 1925, will be fill
ed within a few days. About Is
persons have applied with deputy
attorneys general so far and con-
ferred about the appointment
Reuben Satterthwaite, Jr., attorney
general, said that the office prob
ably would not be left vacant for
any considerable length of time.
He also said that so far no formal
applications have come to his no
tice. The State detective will be
appointed by Governor Buck on
the recommendation of the attor-
ney- general. David J. Reinhardt,
deputy attorney general, intimat-
ed that some member of the State
police force might be asked to
serve in this capacity. 1t is IN
derstood, however, that due to the
fact that the present unexpired
term lasts only until January, 1888,
it would not be a particularly at
tractive position for a member Of
the State police force. 1t pays
$4,000 year. It was reported
that there is a strong possibility
that Messick, as well as some 9TH
ers who have been reported as be-
ing connected with the affair which
resulted in the acceptance of Mr..
Messick's resignation, may be sub
poenaed to appear before the grand
jury of the Federal Court in con
nection with the Governments
case against Lester Howard Arm
bruster and Max Reuben Green,
who were arrested by State police
for conspiracy. The case is sched-
uled for hearing before U. S. Com
missioner Albert F. Polk, and at
that time it will be determined
whether Armbruster and Green
will be held for the March term of
court or not. Friday special in
vestigators returned to the Office of
Harold D. Wilson, deputy prohibit
ton administrator for Delaware,
and behind closed doors, resumed
some further Investigations. It is
understood that investigators have
been working on the case for about
two months. 1t is reported that
there was a group of six men with
headquarters in a Wilmington no.
tel, for a period Of six or seven
weeks. These men were under OBJ
servation for some time, but the
arrest Of Armbruster precipitated
the investigation and when Green
was arrested the other four or five
men in the hotel slipped away. It
is reported that they were tipped
off" by an employee of the hotel.
Among those mentioned as possible
State detectives are Jacob Cole and
G. L. wilkins Many other appli-
cants have been visiting Whining
ton political leaders, seeking the
appointment.

England to protect sterling exchange II

nized that in view of recent improve
ment in sterling the British government
might decide it needed no credit.
The credit would be for one year.
British treasury bills in proportion TO
amounts borrowed would be issued TO
bankers participating in the credit.
These bills, having go of 80 days TO run,
could be sold at discount similar to
the Treasury bills used in the United
