bronchitis is made more difficult if
the chicks are allowed to become
over-crowded in their quarters.
For the first 8 weeks there should
be one-half square foot of floor
space per chick, and one square
foot of space per bird from to IL
weeks of age. During this period
the cockerels should be removed
and the pullets allowed to occupy
the entire brooder house. From 12
to 20 weeks of age each pullet
should have one and a half square
foot Of floor space, and after the
birds are 20 weeks old they should
be allowed from 3 to 4 square feet
of room in the laying house. Poul-
trymen can reduce the supply of
poultry and eggs by using the same
houses and equipment and by plac-
ing only 300 to $50 chicks where
they have been crowding from 500
to 900 in the same space. BY fol-
lowing this practive the supply will
be reduced to meet the demands
upon the market, and at the same
time and poultrymen will eliminate
more than half of their troubles
with diseases and parasites.

of an accident. The necessity for
arriving somewhere at a given
hour, is seldom urgent enough to
justify any course of action that
involves danger. When a driver is
unduly fatigued or drowsy he
should stop and rest long enough
to restore his mind and body to a
more nearly normal condition, even
if the delay prevents him from
reaching his destination at the ap-
pointed time. The ideas put forth
may be summed up in few words.
To avoid accidents that might re
suit directly from improper mental
or physical conditions, the automo-
bile driver should ~ concentrate
his entire attention upon the oper-
alton of his car; (2) abstain from
intoxicating liquors even in small
quantities; and (3) stop driving
before he is overcome by fatigue or
Strict attention to
these simple rules of conduct, on
the part of all automobile operat-
ors, would save many lives and
prevent multitudes of injuries.

DELAWARE FARM
EGG REPORT
Project Includes Production
Records of 4S,524 PuIlets
and Hens, on 123 Farms
DECEMBER REPORT OUT

The December report of the Del
aware farm egg record project,
which has been prepared by H. S.
Palmer, extension poultryman of
the University Of Delaware, for
distribution to those poultry rails
ers in the state who are cooperat-
ing in this work by keeping accur-
ate accounts of the egg production
of their focks, includes the produc-
tion records from 4S,524 pullets
and hens representing 123 farms in
the three counties. The 1,549 pull
let's produced on the average 1O.4
eggs each, while the 16,025 hens
laid only 2.8 eggs each, and the
1O,950 pullets and hens running to-
gether in mixed f1ocks showed an
average production of IA eggs per
bird. These records are rather
comparable to the egg production
from pullets and mixed f1ocks in
December, 1881, but they are about
80 per cent lower with regard to
the production per hen, according
to the reports of the extension
specialist under whose direction
this project has been conducted in
this state for the past eight years
IN cooperation with the county
agents. Copies of this report for
the sixty-five poultrymen in Kent
county who are cooperating in this
project for the coming year were

of County Agent Russell E. Wilson.
Aside from the statistical part of
this report timely information has
been given in regard to the care of
chicks in the brooder houses, with
special reference to the dangers
which often occur as the result Of
over-crowding. The placing of too

13 STATE SCHOOLS
ARE ACCREDITED
Smyrna School on 1888 List
as Approved by Commits
sion on Secondary Schools
DIR. GRIZZELL, CHAIRMAN

The Commission on Secondary
Schools of the Middle States Asso-
citation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools has included thirteen Della
ware Schools on its accredited list
for 1888, according to DIR. E. Dun
can Grizzell, chairman of the Com
mission which maintains its head
quarters at the University of
Pennsylvania. The Delaware
schools on the list are Claymont
High School; Dover High School
and the State College for Colored
Students, Dover; Harrington High
School; Lewes High School; New
ark High School; Seaford High
School; Smyrna High School;
Friends School, Howard High
School, Tower High School, Ursu-
line Academy and the Wilmington
High School, all in Wilmington. In
compiling it's annual accredited list
which is limited to public and pri-
vate secondary schools in the Mid
die States, the District of Column
bia and the Panama Canal Zone,
the Commission does not assume
any responsibility beyond that of
judging the ability of an efficient
secondary school to prepare its
students for college work. "Ap-
proval by the Commission there
fore merely means approval for
accrediting to college, and, al
though any secondary school in the
territory covered by the Commits
sion may apply for place on the
accredited list, the failure of a
school to be included on the list
does not necessarily imply ineffi-
cheney on the part of that school,"
to DR.. Grizzell. Sec
ondary schools not on the accredit-
ed list may be carrying on their
work equally as efficiently as those
on the list, but may be excluded
solely because they do not prepare
their students well, or at all, for
college entrance. In some in
stances omission of schools from
the list is accounted for by their
failure to apply to the Commission
for accrediting."

New Armament for Army
Battle Planes Invented

WaShingtOn.-NeW armament for
army planes, including a flexible
gun mount and an electrically on
Grated bomb rack. have been deyrl-
opened and installed during the last
year, according to the annual re-
port of Maj. Gen. b. D. Foulois,
chief of the army air corps.
The flexible gun mount is the re
suit of several years effort to de-
sign such an instrument. and has
been made standard equipment on
all late types of observation planes
The electrically operated bomb
racks, it was said, will permit army
flyers to release bombs automatical-
ly without the personal time lag
attending manual operation of the
old type of rack.
"In aerial navigation" the report
said, "the division has applied radio
phenomena to the solution of fog
flying and blind landing with con-
siderable success" A new system
inaugurated during the year, it was
stated. requires no special equip
ment on the airplane other than a
radio compass. and only the sin

The Company has been successful
because of two fundamental rea-
sons:-frst, because it has ALWAYS
made the finest motor fuel it was
possible for the organization to
produce, and secondly, because It
has extensively advertised thar
motor fuel in forceful manner ia
leading newspapers. It is a known
fact that a contented worker is al
ways a better worker, and the Sun
Oil Company seems to have kept
its employees in a highly contented
frame of mind by not putting into
effect any general salary cut dur

SAFETY COUNCIL
GIVES ADVICE
Mental and Physical Fatigue
Are Two Causes for Auto
mobile Accidents
CAUSE FOR DISTRACTION

Two kinds of fatigue mental
and physical may be considered
as causes of automobile accidents,
according to the Delaware Safety
Council When a driver suffers
from both kinds at the same time,
or even from either one alone, he
is in a dangerous condition. Over
work and lack Of sleep are the
chief causes Of fatigue. Tired
brains and muscles are slow to act,
and fatigue itself may cause dis
traction. Even with good roads,
driving a car for a long distance
is fatiguing because there is little
opportunity to change position,
and consequently the muscles of
the body are likely to become
eramped and stiffened Moreover,
the constant hum and drone of the
engine, together with the eyestrain
resulting from bright sunlight and
the phenomenon of swiftly moving
scenery, or from continued effort
to pierce the gloom ahead, often
causes drowsiness that is hard to
resist. Many a driver has been
unable to combat it successfully
and has fallen asleep at the wheel
When driver begins to feel
4drowsy he should take immediate
action, in order to prevent an ac-
cident. Preferably, he should let
some other person take the wheel
If there is another competent oper-
ator in the car Otherwise, he
should stop his machine in suit
able place, and take a nap; or he
may get out and run up and down
the road or exercise strenuously in
some other way. Dashing cold
water on the face is helpful also.
On long trip it may be necessary
to resort to measures of this kind
a number of times. Sometimes
fatigued drivers increase their !
speed with the idea of completing
their journeys sooner. This is in
advisable, however, because they
are just as likely to fall asleep /
while proceeding at the higher
speed, and the consequences will
probably be more serious in case
