CRAB PACKING
TO BE EXPLAINED
fContinned trom Firsl Paael


Although the crab season is about
over, DR.. Riley and A. L. Sullivan,
chief of the Bureau of Food and
Drugs, plan to leave tomorrow on a
tour of inspection of all the major
crab-packing plants on the Eastern
Shore.
"A great Improvement in the sani-
tary conditions of the plants has
been noted since we began our in
vestigation, DR.. Riley said.
The sanitation campaign resulted
from the seizure last month by the
Uned States Pure Food and Drug
Bureau of shipment of crab meat
said to have shown traces of spoil
age.
While it may seem trivial, DR.. Ri
ley said, one of the major points in
the campaign is the elimination of
cracks between pieces of materials
used in the construction of tables
and other equipment. One piece
knives and other utensils also are
recommended by DR.. Riley.
Particles of crab meat remain in
these crevices, he said, and contain
ination is apt to result from con
tact with the next batch of crab
meat.
Although not included in the
amended rules, possible development
Of a method of pasteurization or
sterilization of crab meat to be ship
ped, will be discussed at the meet
ng by the health officials.
At present the meat is shipped in
containers packed in ice.

| that is that school administrators,
supervisors, principals, teachers and
others are not earning the salaries
which they receive. | do not believe
there is any fairminded person in the
State, who knows all the factors in
the case, who would be willing to
defend that thesis.
"The State Board of Education has
made number of cuts in its budget
for the current year. 1t has reduced
the allotment for repairs, ETC., from
$50 to $40 per teacher; it has re-
duced the allowances for janitorial
service from $50 to $45 per teacher;
it has suspended allowances for sick
leave, very regrettable procedure;
it has reduced the set-up for text
books and supplies by about 20 per
cent; it has reduced the visiting days
for teachers from two to one, with
pay; it has discontinued giving
scholarships in the teacher training
department of the WOmen's College,
except to those students who needed
to finish their second year; it has re-
duced the travelling allowance for
PCAoOAAhAAJ OWAACu 0uNOO lAOAl CAShb
cents to six cents a mile; it has re-
duced the amount of reimbursement
set up for summer schools by 10 per
cent; and has cut out the appropria-
tions for the White State Teachers
Association; but the otal of these re-
ductions is more than wiped out by
the increase in the number of teach
ers employed, the greater cost of
maintenance and up-kep of larger
school buildings, and the great in
crease in the cost of transportation
of school children.
81 am firmly convinced that it is
the desire of the great majority of
people who have children in our
schools, and likewise the desire of
those who recognize the necessity OF
education for all the children of all
the people. that our schools should
not suffer the depression to any
greater extent than is absolutely
necessary. We have not yet reached
the condition when it is necessary to
grind our seed corn
81 believe it a sound policy to
place some of our school surplus in
a permanent fund-to loan it as 1t
were to the State for any emergency |
purpose which may be determined |
upon as desirable. To complete our |
building program is duty which we |
dare not shirk. Personally l should |
like to see a permanent school fund !
in Delaware which would be suffi- i
cient to carry the total cost of the
of educational Oppor-
5unity, namely, the cost of trans
portation. With that item thus TAX
en care of we could look forward to
he future with less concern about
changes in corporation laws than
We can at the present time"

ground that the U. S. District Court
erred Monday in committing Will
son to the custody of the United
States Marshal after having pre-
viously received the motion of Dis
trict Attorney Wales for the dismiss
sal of the case and return of the
property seized in the Democratic
League raid, and admitting the en-
tering of nolle prOsequi in the
case of the United States VS.. the
Democratic League of Delaware.
1t is the contention of Colonel
Woodcock, who represented Mr..
Wilson, that since there now exists
no such case as the United States
against the Democratic League,
Wilson's answering of the question
of the Court as to who gave him the
key enabling him to make the raid,
is meaningless.

Eskimos Abandon Baychimo;
 CIdim Craft in Good Condition

POINT BARROW, Alaska, Aug. 26.-Twenty eight Eskimo men ar rived here at noon yesterday in a state of exhaution after visit ing the trading ship Baychimo the mystery vessel of the Arc tic. .st.a
 The salvagers reached the Bay chino last Sunday night after 10 hours of travel over the ice.
 Three hours later strong east erly wind sprung up and the ves- sel began drifting westward.
 The Eskimos abandoned the ves- sel and started for the beach. The wind on Monday drove the ice westward and carried the men 30 miles out.
 Their food gave out and the men broke up into small parties to hunt seal and bear.
 Tuesday the wind calmed and the ice began drifting shoreward The men dragged their skin boats and cut their way through the ice, finally reaching the edge of the pack.
 Wednesday night they took to the open leads in the water where they were picked up by rescue boats.
 The Eskimos had not slept for 70 hours.
 The salvage party claims the Raychimo is in good condition after drifting in the ice floes for months, and apparently the only damage is slight crack in one side. They believe that with the aid of plane and dynamite, the vessel can be freed and float ed through the opened leads and returned to service.

 Meanwhile 88 picketeers have been arrested at Sioux City.
 At Des Moines the National Guard has been assembled and is ready for any action.
