Mr.. and Mrs. Metcah had
rented Wallbourne for the winter,
while extensive changes were be-
ing made on their place Catesby,
just across the field. ALI the fur.
niture and household goods had
been removed, and the place had
been dismantled.
One morning the workman
came on the job to find the skele-
ton in flames. Before the day
was finished, nothing remained
but the old brick walls. The foun-
dation of the new wing was left
intact.
Mr.. and Mrs. MetcaH were in
Providence, r. l., at the time, end
returned a few days later.
The flame crumbled walls were
torn down and now work is pro-
ceeding rapidly. A new Catesby
is going up.

Aquilla won every important
timber race of Virginia in her

aside from winning many blue
ribbons in horse shows and being
a most successful hunter. She
was such a gallant mare that she
received the compliment Of being
the only half-bred ever bred to
Fairplay.

NATIVE ROOM STUDIES ESKIMO

The native room has been studying
the life of the Eskimos. The study
was taken up in four sections: Food,
Clothing, Shelter, ADJUSTMENTS. They
had twenty-five pictures made by
the National Geographic Society,
These were very interesting, From
this study the children added these
words to their vocabulary: oomiak,
eni, mukluk, kayak, and igloo.
They learned the poem Foreign
Children, by Robert Louis Steven
son. They also read two books.
Children of the Attic" by Admiral
Perry's daughter and Esquimo
Twins by Lucy Fitch Perkins.
In completing this unit of work
the children laid an Eskimo scene on
their sand table. This ineluded a
warus hunt, a dog team in motion,
and the building of an igloo,
A lesson in clay modelling from Mr.,
Rasmussen's Eskimo collection,
which included an Eskimo lamp, an
all igloo, a kayak, some Eskimo
dogs, a cooking utensil, and Eskimo
dolls, completed their work.

appreciate the change for they can
keep on the street and have access

getting their shoes dusty. This
innovation is especially appreciated
by the women who remember the
trouble they had to keep their
white shoes clean on the old school

booth as usual, was the mecca for

IN KENTCOUNTY
More Are Entering Primary
Race For the Various
County Offices
WALLACE HILYARD, ONE

The large number of announce
ments by aspirants for Democratic
nominations to county offices this
year is taken by officials of the
Kent County Democratic Commit
tee as a mark of approval of the
change from the county convention
system 70 the direct primary sys-
tenn. The Kent County Democratic
Committee adopted the direct pri-
mary system several weeks ago,
after having received petitions con-
tanning the names of several hun
dred Democrats of the county re-
questing The change. No date has
yet been set for the filing of names
of candidates. Since the two lists
of names printed last week, addi-
tional candidates have announced
within the past few days their can
didacy for county and district Of
fees. Among those recent to an
nounce their candidacy is H. Wal
lace Hilyard, Kenton, for Clerk of
the Orphans Court. There is a
suspicion among some of the Kent
county political leaders that those
who opposed the direct primary
system and favored the delegate
system, where the wires" could be
more easily pulled, that the an
nouncing of the several candidates
for the county offices from the
same district is done with the hope
Of causing dissatisfaction over the
return of the direct primaries, so
that it might be easy two years
from now to change the party rules
and return to the delegate system.
This, however, has but little merit
in it, when it is known that several
hundred Democrats of Kent county
petitioned the County Committee
for change in the party rules for
a return to direct primary system.

BISHOP COOK
Rites Held in Trinity Church,
Wilmington, For Miss Cook,
Accident Victim
BISHOP is RECOVERING

Funeral services for Miss Har-
riet Cook, 19-year-old daughter of
the Rt. Rev. Philip Cook, Bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal Diocese
of Delaware, and Mrs. Cook, of
"Bishopstead," Wilmington, who
was killed in an automobile crash
at Fieldsboro, Nj, Thursday night
was held Monday morning at IL
o'clock, in Trinity Episcopal Church
where she worshipped. Interment
was private. The Rev. Charles F.
Penniman, rector of Trinity P. E.
Church, Wilmington, returned from
his vacation, so that he might con-
duct the funeral service Monday.
Trinity Church was filled, out of
tribute to Miss Cook, who was low
ed and esteemed for her bright
womanly qualities. The accident
which resulted in the death of Miss
Harriet Cook, happened late
Thursday night as Bishop Cook
and his older daughter, Miss JOS
ephine Cook, were with her in the
Bishops automobile, returning
home from New York City by way
of Trenton, N. ]. Miss Josephine
was at the wheel when her car and
truck collided. The Bishops car
had passed through Bordentown on
the old Route 25 and the accident
occurred at Fieldsboro on a hill
where this road joins the new Bor-
dentown cutoff in the suburbs of
Trenton. The truck was coming
from the opposite direction and the
visibility was poor due to driving
rain. The automobile skidded down
the grade and struck the truck al
most broadside, crushing the front
end of the car. The three, who
were the only occupants of the car,
were taken to the St. Francis Hos
pital, Trenton, by tourists who
were camping near the cross roads
where the accident occurred. Har-
riet Cook was pronounced dead of
compound fracture of the skull
on arrival at the hospital. Bishop
Cook suffered a fractured left leg.
sprained ankle and sprained elbow.
Josephine Cook, who is % years old
is in the same institution under
treatment for back injuries. The
condition of neither was found to
be critical. Earl Crawford, 20, of
Stelton, N. j., driver of the truck
which belongs to the Moore Truck
ing Company, of Plainfeld, was ar
rested by Columbus State Police
and is being held on a technical
charge of manslaughter.
