DERGOING IMPROVEMENTS

A meeting of officers and direc-

Fair Association was held in the Sec
retary's office, Harrington, recently,
Several important business transac-
tions were disposed of, the chief one
being on drastic changes in the seat
ing arrangement of the grandstand
First of all only a small section of
general admission seats will have
benches, seven hundred new chair
seats have been purchased. The plan
of selling grandstand tickets along
the midway will be discontinued. The
aisle will be closed.
The new plans provide for exits
from the grand stand at both the east
and west ends. New ticket offices
for general admission and grandstand
seats will be erected. The present
aisle at the rear of the box seats run
ming the full length of the grandstand

will be eliminated to do away with
patrons obstructing the view of those
occupying seats. The new arrange
ment will seat about 5000.
Another important change in the
plan of awards to members of All
clubs in ticket selling contests will
be made. For several years the Fair
Association has awarded pure bred
calves to winners in the contest, this
year All clubs in Delaware will COM
pete with each other and calves will
be awarded to the winning club.
B. I. Shaw, president of the Fair
Association, presided at the meeting.
The dates of the Fair this year will
be July 30-31 and August 1, 2 and 3.

CAPEVILLE FARMER SHIPS
FIRST OF 1885 POTATOES

Two days ahead of the 1884 ere
ord, Mr.. Arthur Nottingham, of Cape
vile, dug and shipped Spring Irish
Potatoes.
The first recorded 1884 shipment
was made by Mr.. ]. Douglas Fitchett,
of Kiptopeake, who marketed four bar
rels on the 3Oth of May. The price
was not recorded but Carolina stock
on the same day was bringing around
$500 f. o. b.
Tuesday Mr.. Nottingham shipped
eighteen barrels and the price was
$3.4O f. O. b. The stock was reported
to be every good" and Mr.. Nottingham
stated that he estimated the yield to
be equivalent to forty-five barrels to
the acre. Unverified reports have it
that several more small shipments

the yield is not expected to reach any,
thing like normal, according to re-
ports. There has most assuredly been
a countrywide acreage cut, amounting
to possibly Is per cent and those who
should know do not anticipate any
thing like a heavy yield.
About two weeks ago the outlook
was anything but promising but as
one dealer stated. last week "there's
an entirely new face on things now"
In other words the prospect is much
more encouraging with the price i'm
proving and the market strengthening
Carolina is digging strong and the
price is quoted $500 to 1925 f. o. b.
Philadelphia.
Dealers to whom this reporter has
talked express the belief that as the
season goes on the price would i'm
prove with the quality of stock being
better. They say nothing at all will
be gained by shipping poorly develop
ed potatoes on the market, in fact,
the shipment of green goods may de-
moralize the markets so that they will
not recover at all during the season.
One dealer went so far as to say that
he was firmly convinced now that I'M
less local growers allowed their pota-
toes to develop fully Accomack coun-
ty shippers would receive a far better
price than this county.
Anyhow, the comparison between
last seasons price of this time and
the quotations this year would certain
ly indicate that we have something to
hope for from our 1886 crop, the mar
keting of which will start around the
10th Of June, about ten days
earlier than in 1884.

TALBOTS SCHOOL HEAD
TO ACCEPT CARROLL BERTH

School Superintendent Hyson will
leave Talbot in August to accept a
similar position in Carroll County He
was appointed unanimously by the Car
roll County Board of Education Sat-
urday last. Mr.. Hyson will accept
the appointment. The school set up
in Carroll county is almost double that
of Talbot.
Mr.. Hyson has been in Talbot but a
year. In that time he has distinguish
ed himself as an executive of high or
der. He has also added still further
to the index number of the school
system in Talbot. He has in fact ac-
complished in years time what it is
usual to do in several years.
It was said when he came here that
after two such outstanding men as
Prof. Pruitt and Prof. Pullen he would
have a most difficult standard to live
up to. 1t is unhesitatingly asserted by
those that are in positiin to know that
Mr.. Hyson has fully lived up to these
standards. 1t is because of his record
here that Carroll county chose him
out of an available list of twelve can
didates.
Mr.. Hyson has been most acceptable
officially and he and Mrs. Hyson have
been social assets likewise. Talbot
county is losing a most efficient Off
cial, and regretfully too.
In fifteen years Talbot has had five

here three years, Mr.. Pullen two and
Mr.. Hyson one.
1t has frequently been jokingly men
toned to the State Board of Education
that Talbot was the superintendent
training school for the State Board.
The Talbot Board of Education now
has the difficult task of selecting an
other superintendent. The procedure is
to ask the State Superintendent OF
Education to select a list of names
From these a selection is made, af-
ter which it has to be approved by the
State Superintendent.

architectural Clinics Fau0red
To Serre 5'Man in Oreralls''
System Advanced by Buffalo Man as
Method of Educating Public to
Value of Expert Planning.

Architectural clinics "to serve the
man in overalls" are advocated by
John ]. Wade Of the Buffalo Chapter
Of the American Institute of Archi-
tects.
1T is necessary for the architects
TO pattern their services after those
of the medical profession and make
some sacrifice" Mr.. Wade declares.
"a clinic for those in the lower brack-
cts of income would be the best means
of educating the public to the work
and usefulness Of the architect.
In one section of the clinic there
would be a small fee, let us say S.,
for an Office visit, or $40 for a field
visit Any architect registered at the
clinic headquarters would act as
doctor in diagnosing the ailments Of
the sick house and writing pre-
scription to remedy the difficulties.
Such a small fee would not include
the operation and, if drawings were
necessary, a nominal additional fee
would be charged.
Link With r. H. A. Favored.
New homes would be designed in
another department of the clinic. No
house costing over $1,000 would be
handled through the clinic. For pre-
pairing complete plans and specifica-
tions for $500, $4,000 or $1,000
houses there would be a fiat rate Of,
for example. $50, SIS or 500.
THE work Of the sections Of the
clinic would be tied with title ! and II
Of the Federal Housing Administra-
tion, furthering the architects serv-
ice to the individual home owner.
The public would be invited to use
the clinic only when there Is no
personal preference for q particular
architect"
In cities where architects and
builders exhibits are being held the
manager Of the exhibit should be
the head Of the architectural clinic,
according to Mr.. Wade. He would
have complete list of all archi-
tects registered with the clinic and
full information on building ma
terials. Builders and building ma
terial manufacturers, Mr.. Wade
points out, would keep in close touch

Government Housing Effect.
THE men from many nations with
whom We will meet in Austria, with
sessions held In both the English and
German tongues. can give us In full
detail the effect which government
housing subsidies and partial financing
Of home building have had upon each
country's normal supply of home
owner credit. and they can tell us from
experience TO what extent the socio-
logical approach to home ownership
has to depend in the long run upon
somebody's money besides that of the
taxpayers" said Mr.. Cellarius. "This
Is the NTH congress Of its kind to be
called by the building association
leaders Of the different countries, and
1t Is by far the most important. Where
hitherto we have had only general
problems Of international interest to
deal with, and compared notes on the
practices and policies Of these par
ticular institutions in the various
countries, today we have one of the
most pressing problems on any ma
tion's horizon with real opportunity
to achieve international cooperation
by learning from the experience Of the
Others"
The official program for the con-
gress has not yet been drawn up, but
1t Is expected that several of the
United States group will be asked 10
give papers on this country's situation
in home financing from the angle of
practical building and loan associa-
ton operation and from that of the
Government attitude toward this ac-
tivity. Mr.. CellariuS was author of
one Of the leading papers at the
Fourth International Congress in Lon
don two years ago.

with the clinic and direct the public
to 1t for advice.
The word Clinic" continues Mr..
Wade, "iS understood by the man on
the street and prevents q client capa-
bic OF paying full service charge
from requesting clinic service, Just
as he would not do so for medical
treatment.
Fees in the architectural clinic
must be kept low to insure aid to the
public and success to the clinic. Each
fee should remain a fiat rate and
not be used as q minimum, as mini
mum fees have no attraction to a
buyer. II an advertisement in a
newspaper Is read stating that a pair
Of trousers are on sale for IS and up
ones mental opinion Is that the price
Is going to be up"
The small house. It was pointed
out, comprises the overwhelming bulk
Of residential building, and It is in
this field that the most emphasis is
likely to fall during the next several
years. The least technical advance
ment has been made in the small
house In proportion to its importance
Public education, It Is said, Is even
more important in connection with
the small house problem than i'm.
mediate technical advancement, foi
there are few small homes built today
that enjoy the advantages of up-to.
date knowledge Of design. materials

ignorance on the part Of the public
concerning the best practice in house
building. Any practical remedy. such
as an architectural clinic, must aim
at these difficulties, and when they
are obviated a study of more funda-
mental economic barriers can be
made.
The problem Is held to be the lack
of effective means Of getting au-
thoritative and unbiased information
to the small house owner. The Buff
falo Chapter Of the institute plans to
attack this problem by establishing a
pioneer clinic.
Any effort to solve the small house
problem, according to architects
must look at the low-income groups
need sympathetically, from the low
income side of the fence in terms OF
dollars and cents. Then 1t must help
the professional man to fulfill that
need with reasonable return to him
self.
The building arts, 1t is felt, would
profit by establishing the Importance
of professional advice in the minds OF
small home owners, building UP the
taste standards of the country, anc
by the continuous study Of, and train.
ing in, smaller jobs by the younger
members Of the professions.

Decline in Fixture Prices
Disclosed in Survey Asked
by r. H. A.

That staple plumbing fixtures today
are selling for less than at any time
in the last 20 years is disclosed In
survey Just completed by the Plumbing
and Heating Industries Bureau at the
request of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration.
Prices for boilers and radiators are
approximately half Of what they were
in 1926, the survey reveals.
Adopting the 1926 price level as
basic with the index number Of 100,
the bureau finds that the index num-
ber indicating relative prices for o
5-foot corner built-in tub varies from
97.1 in 1914, 1l2.1 in 1920. 100 in 1925.
IS in 1928, 6l.9 in 1882, IS in 1888, to
55.1 in 1884.
Long Term Trend Down.
A similar downward tendency Is
evident in the relative prices Of kitchen
sinks over a 20-year period, the bu-
reau states.
The index number for a 20 bv 81
inch roll-rim one-piece sink. which
stood at 65 8 in 1914 advanced to Oil
in 1920, and to 100 in 1925, and then
declined to 93.2 ir 1928, tbs In 1882,
ISL in 1893, and today stands at $50.
With the stimulus of unprecedented
low prices, the attractive credit pro-
visions of the F. H. A. plan. and the
Nationwide interest in modernizatIon.
the bureau finds the public engaging
in extensive modernization of the
plumbing in residential and business
properties.

SHIPMENTS of vitreous china plumb
ing fixtures reported to the United
States Department Of Commerce by
l8 manufacturers for October, 1894
were l97,855 pieces, as compared with

nation Of the reports for previous
years indicates that shipments II Oc-
tober of this year were larger than
those in 1880 and 1881, and only
slightly Under the shipments made in
October. 1929.
The bureau calls attention to the
fact that besides the unprecedented
low prices, the public buying plumbing
today is getting the advantage of i'm
provementS in the performance OF

sign and superior durability and lower
maintenance costs.
