the waist in model which resembles
that worn by Tyrolean mountaineers,

Metoposaurus Is Back
After 40, 900, 900 Years

Berkeley, Calif-After an absence
of some 14O.OOO,000 years the metop-
osaurus has returned-but he isn't
his old self.
In fact, the miniature amphibian
in the University of. California Mu
scum of Paleontology is only cla.V
model of the extinct creature, which,
scientists say. was distant relative
of the present-day salamander.
The model was constructed by
sculptors, Adele Stackpole and Au-
drey Horn. 1t was modelled from
skull and other skeleton remains
dug up In the Painted Desert of
Arizona recently. Psychologists
estimated from the fossil remains
that the metoposaurus was about
eight to ten feet long.

SPRUANCE DEAD
Vice-President of the DUPONT
Company Passes Away
in Wilmington
ANCESTORS OF SMYRNA

Col. William Corbit Spruance, a
vice-president and director of E. l.
DUPONT de Nemours and Company,

dence, 25O7 West Seventeenth
street, Wilmington, after brief
illness with pneumonia. Mr.. Spru-
ance, who held the rank of colonel

the United States Army during the
! World War, was 81 years old. Col
Spruance was a son of the late
Judge William c. Spruance who
was of the Spruance family in
Smyrna, his grandfather being of
the firm of P. & e. Spruance,
prominent in the early life of
Smyrna. His mother was Mrs.

s15O,OOO. GOAL
FOR HOSPITAL
Have Chosen Community
Representatives; Will
Appeal To People
EASY TERMS PROVIDED

One hundred fifty thousand dol
lars was set as the tentative OBJ
jective for the new Milford Emer-
gency Hospital Campaign, at the
first meeting of the Initial Com
mittee, held Sunday night, January
9th, in the offices of The L. ID.
Caulk Company. The objective will
finally be established at a meeting
of representatives of every COM
munity served by the Milford Hos
pital, held in the Caulk Auditorium
at 7.30 Tuesday night of last week.
One man and one woman were
chosen by the committee to repre-
sent each of the communities.
Plans for the coming campaign
were outlined. 1t is anticipated
that the appeal will culminate in
the latter part of February. Out
lining the plans of the campaign,
the director, DIR. Charles A. Haney,
said: THE work of the campaign
will be divided into three depart
ments. First, there is the listing.
Campaign headquarters have been
established at the old Marshall
Hospital and a corps of stenog-
raphers are now at work copying
lists of all prospective contributors
in Southern Delaware 1t is plan
ned to so spread the appeal that a
large number of people will each |
be called upon to make a modest |
contribution. If the burden of this |
project were to fall on the should |
ers of a few, it would be most diff
ficult to establish the needed new
hospital, but if several thousand
people can each be persuaded to
contribute, even though each con-
tribution is of comparatively mod
est amount, the objective can be
raised without undue strain. More
over, it will not be necessary for
the contributors to give cash in
full immediately. The contribu-
tions will be made payable over a
period of three years and pay
ments will be made quarterly. An
average gift of thirty-six dollars
(36)will be sought. This will mean
only twelve dollars (S12) a year or
about SC day to the average con-
hributor.

in an oyster when opening

1t is supposed that the fish en-

had its mouth open to feed and
was imprisoned when the shell
closed. The clean and unspoiled

OTHER STATES TO COPY

So impressed was one of the of.
ficials of the American Shore anc
Beach Preservation Association
with what Delaware had done tt
protect its beach highways by Sane
dune building, when he inspected
the Rehoboth Beach Bethany
Beach Highway some time age
that ne requested w. w. Mack tC
prepare a paper to be read at the
annual meeting of the association
in Washington. The paper was
read and elected considerable com
ment because Of the low cost of
the large amount Of protection Of
fered and because it outlined a
method that may be extensively
used in the future along beach
fronts where highways are to be
constructed along the ocean line.
The paper follows:
''Rehoboth Beach, the principal
seaside resort of Delaware, is 10
Gated on the Atlantic Ocean six
miles south of Cape Henlopen,
while twelve miles further south is
Bethany Beach, the watering re-
sort of next Importance in Della
ware. Between these two resorts
is barrier beach and marsh sep
.arated from the mainland by the
Rehoboth and Indian River Bays,
and unbroken except for the In
dian River Inlet, which closes ir-
regularly unless kept open by per-
iodical dredging.
THE greater part of this inter
vening territory is public land un-
der the Jurisdiction of the State
Highway Department, and is en-
tirely undeveloped, the only dwell
ing being the Indian River station
of the U. S. Coast Guard, which
was inaccessible except by a trail
of uncertain FEASIBILITY.
"The region possesses consider
able recreational possibilities, viz.
boating, sailing, crabbinb, cunning
and surf fishing, and the demand
for highway connecting these re-
sorts without the 38-mile detour
around the head of the bays induc-
ed the State Highway Department
to consider the construction of a
highway along the barrier beach.
Surveys were made and it was
decided to locate the road well
back from the shore near the juno
ton of the barrier dunes with the
marsh and at approximately eleva-
tion 81. This low grade line was
adopted in order that storm tides
coming over the barrier beach
would encounter little resistance
and erosion be reduced to a min
mum.
"The average dune height on the
barrier is approximately 16.0 while
The many breaks between had an
elevation of about 80 and were
Hooded during heavy northeast and
sasterly storms, which poured a
huge vlume of sea water over the
beach into the bays.
1T was anticipated that any en-
1ankment which was constructed
or a highway would be seriously
lamaged several times during the
average year, and some protection
vas deemed necessary. In secur-

FARM BOYS GET
PAY STUDYING
Delaware Vocational Agricul-
ture Shows Large Net
Profit For Year
PUPIL LABOR INCOME

The annual State summary of
vocational agriculture projects,
carried on by the farm boys of Del
aware has just ben completed by
State Supervisor of Vocational Ag-
ricultural Education, w. Lyle
Mowlds, and shows the largest net
profit since the work was started
II years ago. Besides the largest
net profit in both plant and animal
projects, there is a larger number
of individual projects per pupil and
considerable gain in number of
hours of pupil labor. With pupil
labor income of $19,O16.16 and a
net profit of 16,6OO.96 on an ap-
.proximate S3O,OOO.O0 business
these 27O boys have shown that
farming is we'll worth the time and
effort expended. During the past
year, the boys have not only kept
accurate records but have run ex-
periments ON fertilizing, marketing
and feeding. This they believe will
be the means of saving much mon
ey and labor in the ensuing year.
With all their work these boys
have tried to cooperate with the A.
A. A. and have worked soundly
and carefully on cooperative eff
forts in both buying and market
ing. The summary of projects is
as follows:

Pupil labor income .....S 6,319.66
Pupil labor was charged at the
rate of 10c per hour. In all, the
boys raised $50 acres of crops and
1926 head of cattle, swine and
poultry. The crops showing the
largest net profits were corn and
tomatoes, while poultry led in the
animal group. These boys are
part of the large organization of
the Future Farmers of America
who have had the courage to carry
on during the past few dark years
and see in farming one of the
greatest businesses to which man
can apply himself. Truly they are
the ones who should be the Future
Farmers of tomorrow.

the bank, call the sheriff, take the stenographer home, and so on, while he himself made a nasty check of the extent of the banks losses.
 An hour later order was restored. MT. Hobart was taken home. By lucky chance, the bandits bullet had only creased his skull. He was suffering good deal of pain and he would carry a rather prominent scar for the rest of his life, but he would live. The policeman had not been so lucky. Three bullets had smashed into his chest, and he was dead.
 The young clerk had nothing worse than painful bruise, a bad headache-and topic of converse tion that would keep him going for the next two years.
 MT. Dunn sat in his office talk ing with the county sheriff, who had hurried over from the county seat 12 miles away.
 There's nothing more we can do now" sai dthe sheriff, folding his notebook. There's nothing much we can do at all, for that matter. It's a lead-pipe cinch they're out of the county by this time. I've got one of my deputies over at the telephone office, calling all the cities and towns around here telling 'em to be on the look out, and a car-fun of the boys are out on the road chasing these birds.
 "But shucksl We've got one chance in hundred. We don't even know for sure what road those fellows left on. We got their H- cense number, but if they don't stop out in the country somewhere and change plates, miss my guess. We're just helpless on a thing like this, MT. Dunn"
 There's nothing much we can do," he admitted. After brief pause he said, T had hoped, when we got that tear gas installed, that we'd be safe. You see, all Hobart had to do was step on a button, and the gas would've stopped them. But he never had a chance. That man shot him before he could move"
 The sheriff bit the end of 8 ci- gar, spat it out in the general di- rection of a waste basket, and be- gan to smoke.
 ''No, we're licked in these small towns-licked before we start" he said. 'The only wonder is that they don't rob more of these banks.

 3. One of the profoundest bits of human psychology is contained in the lines Man never is, but always to be blest." This is always true sim ply because, strange to say, happi- ness is found only in seeking for happiness. As Louis Stevenson said "To journey is better than to ar- rive" It is not in reaching his goal but in contriving ways of reaching it that is the source of the very hap piness that man seeks.

Prevention Costs Less Than Cure

 Prevention Costs Less Than Cure
 A recent magazine article listing the expenses of women representa- tives in industry included fees from five to seventy dollars per year were given as the expenditure necessary to care for the teeth. It was sur- prising to learn that these individ- uals had paid more to the dentist than they had to physicians.
 Since the care of the teeth has social as well as health implica- tions, these younk ladies found it necessary to expend considerable sums to keep their mouths free from defective teeth.
 Naturally, one wonders ii preven- tive measures would have decreased the cost. If we are to believe med ical and dental authorities, there is no doubt but that early dental care, that is, starting with the child of three, and attention to diet will minimize the numbre and extent of dental treatments.
 Doesn't is seem foolhardy to me- glect the Fundamentals of mouth health? Why not provide through out life the health ofods such as fruits, vegetables and milk? Why not look to the dentist as one who can help you prevent dental ills instead of going to him merely for the more radical operations of ex- fractions and bridgework?
 How of n should child go to the dentist? pr. Wisan discusses this important question in his next article.
