Unfolded in city court today was the story of 0 Waterbury homo where e l6-year old girl tended bar, selling sense-dead- ening smoke for 10 cents Q "shot", and trying meantime to care for her eight younger brothers and sisters while her mother was visiting neighbors and her father was at his WPA job. Police testified that the home was dirty and untidy, that the children were uncared for and that there filed into the tenement day and night hleary- eyed sots, seeking forgetfulness in grain alcohol.

GIRL, IS, TENDS BAR
1O-Cent Drinks Exchanged for Welfare Depart ment's Food Allotments Police Discover-Mother of Nine Children Sentenced Today in City Court.

After hearing the sordid tale, Judge John F. McGrath sen- fenced the mother, Mrs. Lena Cammilletti, Q resident of South Main street, who has had pre- vious experience with police, to the state farm for women. She was found guilty of violating the state liquor laws and of contrib uting to the delinquency of minor children. The nine chil. dren will be cared for by the city welfare department.
 The tenement has figured in police news often before. Harry Pietrobono, who is now serving time on a federal liquor charge, was arrested for rselling liquor there several times. On other occasions police dumped Q Mrs. Cammilletti's supply of smoke and cheap alcohol down the drain, but did not arrest her be- cause of her large family. But when, on June 26, Patrolmen Patrick Moylan and Fred Hickey of the vice-squad entered the place and found the iS-year old girl tending bar while her mother was out visiting they ar- rested Mrs. Cammilletti. Her case was continued in city court till today.
 Children Playing
 The two officers found the other children. the youngest of them 20 months old, playing in the room adjoining the one where the lethal beverage was served. Two customers were in the place, empty glasses before them. Patrolman Moylan testi- fled today that the tenement was filtered and unsanitary. Similar testimony was given by Detective Joseph Bender. who examined the tenement at the request of welfare authorities.
 In the raid, the tive patrol- men found several bags of flour, easily identified as that given out by the welfare department to the ctiy's needy and taken in at the home in exchange for the cheap alcohol. On previous vis- its police also found that wel- fare bags were taken fin by Mrs. Cammilletti for smoke. and that some men on the city's charity list brought their bags straight to the tnement and there traded 1t for a bottle or two of grain alcohol.
 10 Cent Drinks
 A drink at the Cainmilletu place, the girl bartender told police, was 10 cents. Fifteen cents bought Q half-pint. and so cents was the price of . quart. It was at the place, according to police. that many of the asaoke Addicts who have infested the South Main street section went for their drinks. after panhan- ding pennies. nickels and dimes from pangersby.
 The liquor sold ct the place was plain grain alcohol, such ns is used for rubbing purposes, unrUctllled and poisonous. Sometimes G Was eoinred aoanep what. or "cut' with water.

University Notes

Revision and expansion of the
curriculum Of the School of Agri-
culture at the University of Della
ware will give the student of POul-
try Husbandry an excellent OppOr-
tunity to receive training in this
field announces Professor Schuster,
Acting Dean. The development of in
struetiOnal courses in Poultry Hus-
bandry has been authorized by the
Board Of Trustees and H. S. Palmer.
extension poultry specialist, has
been appointed to develop and teach
these courses. Instruction in pOul-
try production and poultry manage
ment will be offered next year by
II. S. Palmer. DR.. T. A. Baker of
the Department Of Animal Industry.
will eOlulabOrate on nutrition and
breeding instruction and Dr. c. C.
Palmer will give a course in poul-
try diseases.
H. S. Palmer states that. "POul-
try holds an economic position in
Delaware and the country at large
and that at the present time ac-
counts for thirty to forty per cent
Of the total income from all farm
sales in the State and is exceeded
only by dairy DrOducts. cotton and
hogs in national farm income. The
broiler business has increased in
southern Delaware until ii is now
recognized as the greatest broiler
producing section in the United
States. The total annual value of
all products will be about twelve
million dollars In 1886.
Because of its natural advan-
tages Of soil. climate and nearness
TO large city markets. Delaware is
likely to remain an important poul-
try producing State. To meet the
problems and make the most Of this
great agricultural enterprise the
young farmers Of the State will need
to be we'll trained in the science and |
art Of poultry hushandry. Breeds
must be improved. diseases must be
held In check. marketing systems
will need to be developed in order to
improve quality, stimulate con-
sumption and increase profits" j
