FAILURE-CONsCIOUs CHILD
Mary Graham Andrews

Mary Graham Andrews
Il hate to read!" announced Ju-
nior, aged eight.
"You read. young man! You'll be
sorry some day If you don't. I'd be
ashamed to have my brother read
so much better than 1. Why, all the
children in the neighborhood are
laughing at you because you can't
read" urged this well-meaning but
unwise mother.
please, Mother, don't make me
read this story. 1t has too many
big words, can't understand it. l
don't like it. Let me read my pic
ture books to you," pleaded Junior.
when you can read this nice big
book aloud as well as your brother,
Everett. then you may have picture
books to read FROM" replied his
mother.
yes! When you can do that,
then you can read to the entire
neighborhood like Uncle Quinn does
over the RADIO" twitted his slightly
older brother. But Uncle Quinn
will be old and gray by then"
Juniors eyes blazed, he struck at
Everett.
Junior, behaved" admonished
Mother.
whats the matter, children" 1t
was Aunt Mary arriving just at the
right moment. She understood Ju-
nior-and all children for that mat
ter. She had her ways of drawing
Junior out. And later, little by lit
tie, she got the story.
"Aunt Mary, I'd love to read like
Everett, but Mother doesn't love me
as much as she does Everett, so
what is the use of trying? l just
can't do anything right" Junior
confided thoughtfully. 1t was plain
that he was troubled.
Aunt Mary realized that he felt
helpless, felt deeply his inferiority
because he had failed to measure up
satisfactorily to his mothers ex-
pectations. She knew that this
timid, failure-conscious child need
ed the assistance of an uninterested
adult with sympathetic understand
ing, one who could give constant
encouragement; so she took Juniors
case in hand.
To destroy his fears and put as
surance in their place was her task.
1t took months, but Junior is real
reader now. You ask how it was
done. -ssri-s--A- -s--

WHEN ALL THE WORLD FOR
GETS YOU


When the great lights beckon to you,
And you seek the bright and gay;
When new friends and fancies call
you.
AS you drift along the way.
You know not what the world may
see,
You never have a care.
You never think of home. sweet
home. r
Or the one who's waiting there.
When all the world forgets you,
And you find yourself alone,
When all your friends desert you
And you are far from home.
Remember. there is someone
Who loves and always will
When all the world forgets you
There's a mother waiting still,
There comes a time to each one
When your greatest hope will
fail:
When your friends you thought the
truest
Leave you far beyond the trail.
'Tis then your thoughts drift back
again,
To the home you once held true.
And the lonely heart that's watch
ing there
And waiting still for you.

LOSS OF DELAWARE

cause of this disease, and methods
of control. In 1880 a disease be-
lieved to be the same as this ap-
peared as an epidemic in California,
and caused considerable loss of
horses in that state. DR.. Myers and
DR.. Haring, research workers for the
State of California found that this
disease was not caused by forage
poisoning (botulism), as had pre-
viously been the general opinion, but
that it was caused by specific fill
terable virus, and was transmitted
from horse to horse by the bites of
insects, such as flies and mosquitoes.
These Investigators named the dis
ease caused by this specific virus
equine encaphalomyelitis." In Cal
ifornia, a total of about 10 per cent
of the horses in the infected area
developed the disease, and the NOR
tality in this number was very great.
In 1881, an outbreak of this dis
ease appeared in Nevada, and au-
thorities assigned to investigate the
disease in that state corroborated
the findings of the California inves-
tigators.
In 1882, Major Kelser, of the Vet
erinary Corps of the United States
Army also proved that this disease
could be transmitted to both expert
mental animals and to horses by the
bites of insects. AS the period of
incubation was found to be 18 to "a
days, it. is usually that long after
the animal has become infected be-
fore 1t shows clinical symptoms of
the disease.
In the past few weeks this disease
has appeared in Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, New Jersey and Del
aware in epidemic form.
Through the efforts of the Della
ware State Board of Agriculture, DR..
Giltner of the pathological division
of the United States Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry, Washington, d. c.,
was sent to Delaware for the pur-
pose of further investigating this
disease. Accompanied by the vet
erinarians of the State Board of
Agriculture and some of the local
pIdCLlCiuS Ncl6IludIldHSy LII GllLuCl
visited several farms where cases of |
this disease were known to exist, |
and examined many animals infected |
with this disease in various stages.
DR.. Giltner secured several speci-
mems from the infected animals,
which he took to the laboratory at
Washington for diagnostic purposes.
He hopes to be able to isolate the
virus from these specimens, and see
if they are identical with the virus
POUNDS in the horses in the Califor-
mia and Nevada outbreaks.
At the present time, there is no
known cure for animals infected
with this disease. A serum has been
produced from the California virus
which provides some degree of inn
however, the use of this
serum is in the experimental stage,
and producers only claim that the
will last for two to four
weeks. Authorities agree that some
measure of protection is afforded
against this disease in horses by
keeping the animals stabbed when
not in use, spraying them frequently
with good fly and insect repellent,

GOVERNOR CALLS
LEGISLATURE IN
SPECIAL SESSION
[COntinped from First Page]

lIOHtHhed JTOm FUJt EdgeI
/ Hawke, who are now members oi
the Department of Elections in viii
mingtOn. Mr.. Tatnall is a Republi-
can and Mr.. Hawke is a Democrat
State Detective Frank w. Schroe-
der, who is a member of the Legis-
lature from the 18th Representative
District, of New Castle county, and
has been serving as State Detective
for some months, resigned his posi-
tion as State Detective last Friday,
in order to comply with provision
of the constitution, which would not
permit him to continue in public Of
fee while a member of the Legisla-
ture.
The two special elections will be
held on Tuesday, October II.
Governor Buck in issuing the proc
lamation, accompanied it with a
statement explaining the reason and
purposes for the special session, en-
phasizing the Importance of needy
Delawareans being given work that
will benefit them and their depend
ents this winter.
The Governor said:
"In view of the fact that 1t has
been very difficult to accomplish
much in the way of securing assist
ance from Washington. have come
to the conclusion that it is absolute
ly necessary for us to put our own
house in order. Public Works Ad-
ministrator Ickes has complained
that States and communities have
been slow and have not been CO.
operating.
"In order that those who need as
sistance may benefit during the win
ter, have decided to call the special
session at the earliest possible date,
October IS, to permit the two spe-
cial elections which will be neces-
sary.
81 want to make 1t clear that all
projects authorized by the Legisla-
ture must have the approval of the
Public Works Advisory Board of
this State. The amount of money to
be borrowed by the State will depend
upon the advice wiven by the Public
Works Advisory Board, for without
its approval it will not be consid-
cred by the Public Works admins
traitor at Washington"
The Governor explained that he is
of the opinion that the money should
be borrowed from the Federal gov
ernment instead. of bond issue be-
ing made by the State, because II in
future years Congress should see fit
to cancel the debts of the State for
this work, Delaware would be in
position to receive such benefit.
The Governor added: ut is well
that the State will never
repudiate its debt. Delaware, whose
credit is not surpassed by any other
State, will never be one to repudiate
is debt, but the State would like to
De in the position of being able to
AXE advantage of any situation that
nay arise whereby such debt to the
Federal government may be can
,elled legitimately."
Milford chronicle., 1933-09-22

Supplies of fruits and vegetables
continue close to the rather light
figures of year ago, about 1000
carloads daily. Potato shipments
are increasing with the progress OF
the main crop season and the peach
movemetn continues comparatively
heavy, most of it from eastern and
far western sections, in addition to
local truckload supplies. Cabbage
and onion shipments are very mod
crate. Cantaloupes and cauliflower
are now coming mostly from Colo
RADIO.
Apple shipments are not especial
ly heavy for the time of year but
are increasing from main crop sec
tions. A few carloads of grapes are
coming from Michigan and New Yerk
and many truck shipments. Truck
loads of Eastern cucumbers have
been marketed as far west as Kan
sas City. Tomatoes are moving ac-
lively from New York and the Mid
die West. Most of the sweet pota
toes are from the Eastern Shore
of Virginia but increasing quantities
are coming from Maryland at pres
ent for plums, pears, peaches, let
tuce, cucumbers, celery, carrots,
and cabbage.
Truck crop reports issued in mid
September show lighter production
of most lines, compared with the
average of last year. Decreases as
compared with 1882 are: domestice-
type cabbage, 429o; Danish cabbage,
$3.50; late celery, fall lettuce, and
main crop onions, each POO; toma-
toes in IA leading crop states. so.
The reduction is usually in yield per
acre, as we'll as in number of acres
planted.
Prices trend of fruits and vege-
tables is fairly steady near the mid
die of the month but most of the
recent price changes have been
downward according to the usual
tendency at this time of increasing
supplies from leading main crop sec
tions. There is little further change
supplies from leading main crop
sections. There is little further
change for potatoes, apples, and on
ions. Cabbage markets are rather
firm because of indicated light pro-
1uction. Lettuce has lost some of
the sharp gains of last month but
Is still selling comparatively high.
Sweet potatoes have been a weak
feature, declining rapidly from open
ng process. Eastern peaches are
prominent in midwestern markets,
most of them from New York State,
tut prices have declined moderately. |

WILL Open STATE
WELFARE HOME
[Continnfd trom FIr.l Peael.

ICoFiinRsd from firH Pdgel
ture by vandals. the opening, orig
inally scheduled for early in the
month. had to be changed in favor
of a later date. IN,
Plans for officially opening the
building to the public with appfopri-
October will be discussed at a meet
ing OF the Commission.
The main building of the Welfare
Home is equipped as a hospital and
has facilities for a minor surgical
room and an obstetrical room. Re-
garding the maternity ward and the
obstetrical room, the Welfare Com
mission felt that a modern State In
stitution should have ward of this
nature and this feeling was spon-
sored by all the professional advice
available.
There is no age limit for adnis-
sion to the home. The Legislative act,
abolishing almshouses and providing
for the erection of State Welfare
Home, states:
Amy person, man or woman, hav-
ing legal residence in Delaware.
who has been unable to obtain em-
ployment or is unable to work. who
has no property or income sufficient
to provide the necessities of life,
who has no permanent place of
abode and no relatives or friends
to care for him or her, may be ad-
mitted for the time being to the said
home The commission may. in
its discretion and in cases of ex-
treme emergency admit other
persons to the home"
The maternity ward, as in many
such public institutions is to be used
in emergency cases.
With the opening of the Welfare
Home, Delaware's county almshouse
system which dates back to Colon
ial days, is wiped out. The Welfare
Home Act provides that when the
home is completed and ready for, oc-
cupancy, the inmates of the aims
houses in the State, eligible for the
home, shall be transferred to the
homme and the almshouses shall be
abolished. At the time of the trans
fer, the trustees of the poor shall
deliver to the Welfare Commission
all papers and records relating to
the inmates transferred to the Home.
All insane inmates of the almshouses
are to be committed to the Delaware
State Hospital at FaTnhurst. M
The act further provides that
when the almshouses shall have
been abolished, the trustees of the
poor in each county shall make q
full and complete settlement with
the Levy Court of their respective
counties and shall cause all funds in
their possession or under their con-
troll to be paid to the treasurer of
the county who shall credit the
funds to the Welfare Commission.
