Board OF Health Plans Campaign
To Reduce Child Birth Deaths

With the continued expectation Of
Federal aid under the Society Secur-
files act, the State Board Of Health
is planning a campaign to reduce
the rate Of deaths resulting from
child births, which is expected to
commence shortly after the first OF
the year.
With an annual toll that has av-
eraged thirty-three deaths, or slight
ly better than 6s per ten-thousand
live births, Delaware Health au-
thorities consider the Delaware rate
far higher than Is Justified. Part of
the high rate they attribute to the
fact that the proportion Of colored
mothers In the State Is somewhat
higher than for The United States as
a whole. and IL has been definitely
proven by statistics that the rate OF

DELAWAREANS FAIL TO

Each month Delawareans are fail

ter recently sent to Bankson +. Hol-
comb, State Director for the Works

Delaware Mosquito Control Commits
sion.
According to the figures set forth.
the mosquito control CCC camps are
now operating at less than fifty per
cent of their authorized strength,
with a shortage of 41S enrollees,
which centers mainly in the Leipsic
camp with no enrolless at all, and
the Magnolia camp with only 80.
This shortage is figured as resulting
in a tentative monthly loss In pay
to the men of $1,000, ami loss to
their families each month Of $40, $50.
The supervisory personnel which di-
rects the work, and which Is there
fore not now employed. would re-

that merchants In the vicinity of the !.
camps are failing to move appIoxi-

CITIZENS URGED TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
Increasing Number OF Accidents
Threatens Everyone

Does the record-b breaking toll Of
1884 motor vehicle accidents seem
unimportant to you? The Delaware
Safety Council asks, Are you one
OF those who feel that accidents
may happen to the other fellow. but
not to you?" II so, please consider
these facts:
One person out OF every hundred
was injured in a motor vehicle acct
dent last year; this Is based on an
approximate total Of 1,250,000 injur-
les and slightly over 125,0O0,000 pop
citation.
These figures mean that, on the
average, there will be as many mo-
tor vehicle injuries within the next
100 years as there are persons living
IN the United States today.
Following this line Of reasoning,
one Of each two persons now living
may expect to be injured within the
next flfty years; cne out Of four
within the next twenty-five years,
and one out Of five In the next twen-
ty years.

Every housewives wardrobe must

II It Is to be interesting. Most women
hints at the lighter side of the mode in
the matter of color and fabric. This

colors. The trimming of crisp fabric
sustains an appearance of freshness
that Is always attractive in house

This dress is cut with few seam
lines. It hangs straight from the
shoulders an has darts to give ease
over the buStS and to nip the waist
line in to proper fit. Dropped shoul-
ders act as sleeves and prettily cut

Fascinating materials suggest them
selves for this design. Printed lawns,
modern calicos, seersucker, percale,

cloth and washable novelty prints are
among the most suitable ones. Peasant
prints are attractive newcomers and
in the stfong native colorings are pop

death Of Queen Victoria, his mother,
he became King Of England, ruling as

On all sides, Of course, there was
an effort to entertain the prince, and
among the gay events was great ball
at Boston. BY good fortune we have
q picture of the bali, drawn at the
time, and showing the costumes which
were worn.
The dress Of the prince was not
very different from the modern dress
suit. Other men in the picture wore
suits which do not seem very strange
to us. Some Of the men were adorned
with bushy boards, including side
burns.
The women wore costumes which
would bring gasp If seen at q mod
