TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR
sPORTSMEN WILL SAVE GAME

Cometh now the Ten Command
ments for the sportsmen, issued on
the event of the hunting season, the
by the Advisory Board to the u. S.
Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the
tenth by the American Game Asso-
citation, for the protection of all
game, particularly wildfowl which
have recently suffered depletion
through the drought and other
causes obtaining the last three
years.
The Commandments for sports
men are not craven on stone nor
brought down from the mountains
on high, but pecked out with a hunt
and-punch system on rickety type
writer; nevertheless, officials point
out, the observance of these Ten
Commandments for sportsmen are
Just as vital to preserving the well
fare of game as Moses Ten Com
mandments are to preserving the
welfare of the human soul.
In fact, officials point out, the Ten
Commandments for sportsmen may
be more vital in preserving wildlife,
especially ducks; for many species
are reaching stages of depletion
that threaten extinction.
"The Advisory Board is of the
opinion that the present plight of
our waterfowl is in part due to dis
regard for high standards of sports
manship in waterfowl hunting, and
it believes that substantial benefits
will accrue if unsportsmanlike prac-
tices and abuses are eliminated or
reduced to a minimum" resolution
adopted recently by the board states.
Commandments for Sportsmen:
1. Take your birds in a sports
manlike way and avoid ex-
cesses-
2. Select your birds and refrain
from destructive flock shoot
ing.
8. Refrain from shooting at birds
beyond reasonable killing
range
4. Never shoot at birds on the
water unless badly crippled.
5. Retrieve your down birds and
avoid all possible waste.
6 Do not patronize commercial
shooting stands where abuses
are praeticed.
Z. If you feed birds during the
season, continue it as long as
feed is beneficial.
s. Do your part to restore breed
ing grounds and maintain ref
uges.
3. Be a Sportsman-obe the law
and insist that others do like
wise e
10. Swat the crow and other pred
ators that prey upon game.

Escapes By Motor Boat
From Burning SLOOp

Although suffering from severe
burns of the hands and face, Philip
Gluch, age A, of SO Holland street,
Newark, N. j., a retired business
man, and a member of the Naval Re-
serves, made his way to safety, for
distance of nine miles, in small
motor driven boat, after his 30-foOt
sloop, the Carolyn d, was destroyed
by fire in the Delaware Bay Tuesday
morning, off Mispillion Light. Gluch
nearly exhausted and suffering in
tense agony from his burns, partic-
ularly of his hands, which he had to
use in order to operate the small
motor on the boat, reached Mispil-
lion Light several hours after he
abandoned the burning craft. He
was given first aid treatment and
then rushed to the Marshall Hospi-
tai in Milford, where he related his
thrilling experience. He said that
at about 10:45 o'clock he detected
smoke issuing from the hatchway.
He was working at the time on the
forward part of the craft. He ran to
the hatchway and found that the
gallery floor was in names. Glucn
fought the flames for a time but
soon discovered he was making no
headway. Finally unable to stand the
pain from his hands he donned life
preserver and jumped into the bay.
After jumping into the water he
thought of better plan and return
ed to the burning boat. He hurried
ly managed to puch off small boat
which he had on deck and found a
small motor which he adjusted to
the stern.
1t took him nine hours to finally
reach the lighthouse, and from there
he was brought to Milford. Glueh
said his handsome sloop was burned
to the waters edge the last time he
looked back at it.

A richer, fuller meaning
To things both earthly and divine.
One possessed with worldwide vis-
ion
And thoughts attuned to human
needs.
A generous giver of time and gifts
A glowing faith, radiant deeds.
A lover of joy an beauty
In things uplifting, refined,
How a heart treasures the hours
Spent with that Spirit and Mind.
A Teacher, who looked forward to

And the duties of each year
With an unfaltering trust and cour-
age

TRIP TO WASHINGTON

"Washington's biggest weekend
this is the designation that has
been given the weekend of Septem-
ber 30, 80 and October 1. The oc-
casion is the annual Presidents Cup
Regatta which will be staged on the
Potomac River in Washington, Sep
tember %, 29, 80, and October 1.
Large crowds are expected during
all the days of the regatta, with an
unusually large number of visitors
beginning September 20.

will be more elaborate and colorful
than any in history. On the 28th, in
the evening, there will be swimming
contests, and on the evening of the
29th there will be a parade of illum-
mated boats, perhaps $50 in number.
On September 20 and 80 the main
events of the program will take
place, including the thrilling Presi-
dents Cup Contest. A large number
of entries is now reported from
many pOlnJS along IHe AIldHIlC Oed-
board. On October 1 there will be
rowing and canoe contests.
President Roosevelt has written a
letter in which he expresses fully
his intention of attending the regat-
ia unless, unexpected circumstances
prevent it.
Low rates will prevail on rail-

The Cup Regatta this year is un-
der the direction of John A. Remon,

SOMETHING HOT FOR THE
"a" LUNCH AT SCHOOL

Does your child come home to
lunch or does he carry lunch to
school?
Does the school he attends have a
cafeteria?
Does the school serve milk, or any
part of lunch for the children?
The answer to these questions de-
termines the type of lunch the moth
er must plan for the school child,
says Miss Pearl Macdonald, Exten-
sion Service, University of Della
ware.
The school-day lunches are of
great Importance not only to moth
ers, but also to teachers and the en-
tire community because the school
child's lunch has much to do with
his health, his progress in school
and his behavior. The poorly nour-
ished child is an economic loss to
any community.
Case If your child comes home
at noon, the problem is an easy one.
You can provide a hot lunch or at
least one hot dish, and see that he
has the kind of lunch that meets
the needs of the growing child.
Whether the child comes home at
noon or has his lunch at school, it
is very very important for him to
have at least one hot dish.
What difference does having
something hot at the noon lunch
make to the child? you ask.
Studies of thousands of children
in school in every section of the
country show the following results
where the lunch is adequate and in
cludes something hot:
(a) greater relish for the noon
day meal and better digestion
(b) underweight reduced with the
usual improvement in health
(c) easier discipline
I'd improved attendance and
punctuality
(e) closer attention to school
work resulting in higher school rec
ords..
Case II-If your child attends a
school which has a cafeteria, the
child must be trained in the selec-
tion of his lunch either when he pur-
chases his entire lunch at the cafe
terra or supplements his lunch
brought from home with one or two
things bought at the cafeteria.
"a When the child buys his en-
tire lunch at the cafeteria, let him
select the "a" lunch described in
last weeks article. This can always
include something hot.
(2) When the child supplements
the lunch brought from home with
one or two articles from the cafe
terra, we would suggest that he
choose a hot dish for reasons given
above. Have him choose either a
dish containing milk such as cream
Of vegetable soup, creamed vege- ,
table or a milk dessert; or, when the
1ish selected does not contain milk, /.
hen let him choose a glass of milk
IN addition.
Case III-When the child attends !
rural school or a smaller school
which does not have cafeteria serv-
ce, there are two or three ways of
something hot for the
,hild's lunch at school.
~ The child may carry a hot
Ioup or chowder in thermos bot
lie.
(2) Or, he may carry soup or veg
table or other food in a container
fruit or salad jar) that may be re-
heated at school either in an oven or
/ steamer on top of the stove.
Parents should read this and act
o advise the child.
