There were plenty of crimes recorded, but the

His age was given by Scotland Yard as

to know that, when our tales of horticultural

On the day of which shall tell, an ex-

OF other vocations into emulation, and they
began to tell tales to show what their callinps

"Not?" said somebody.

FEDERAL VOCATION LAW
Prof. r. w. Helm, State Director.
Announces Provisions

r. w. Helm, Director of Voca-
tional Education in Delaware, has
received word that the George
Deem Vocational Bill was Tuesday
day of last week signed by the
President after having been pass
ed unanimously in both Houses of
Congress. This law includes the
following provisions:
An annual authorization for an
appropriation of S12,0OO,OOO for
Agricultural Education, Trade and
Industrial Education and Home
Economics Education. This sum
to be divided equally among the
three fields.
Delaware will benefit by the
minimum provisions" clause in
this law which authorizes to each
state a minimum of $4,000 in each
of the above fields of Vocational
Education.
An annual authorization for an
appropriation of S1,2O0,O0O for
training for distributive occupa-
tions.
Delaware will receive $4,000 an
nually for this type of work.
An annual authorization for an
appropriation of S1,OOO,0OO for
teacher training in Vocational Ed
ucation.
Delaware will receive $4,000 an
nually in this division
/ A provision authorizing these
appropriations to be on perman-
ent basis.
This law becomes effective july
Il, 1887 at which time the George
Ellzey Law terminates.
| Delaware receives under the
present George-Ellzey Law S15, 900
annually. This will now be re-
placed by the new George-Deen
Law providing $4,000 annually.
! Since this law does not become
Operative until July 1887, it will
give us one year in which to make
pans so that the money can all be
used and used wisely for the de-
velopment of various phases of
Vocational Education.
The enactment of this legislation
by an overwhelming vote is very
clear evidence that the people of
this country want a definite and
sensible extension of the vocational
education program.

achieved and their constitution es-
tablished, to produce a group OF
great and wise men whose char
acter and conduct have been the
admiration of the world and have
served as an inspiration to men
everywhere in the effort to estab-
lish free and orderly government,
founded on law. It would be sup
erf1uous here to recount their
names; but, by common accord,
first among them all is that of
Washington. No man that ever
lived stands less in need of eulogy.
Some years ago, however, I chanc-
ed upon an estimate of his char
acter, written in 1914, by Thomas
Jefferson, who, besides being gen.
orally and intimately acquainted
with the details of Washington's
life, had served in his cabinet as
Secretary of State throughout his
first administration as President.
1t suffices to quote Jefferson's
words:
HE was incapable of fear, meet
ing personal dangers with the
calmest unconcern. Perhaps the
strongest feature in his character
was prudence, never acting until
every circumstance, every consid-
Grafton, was maturely weighed; re-
framing if he saw a doubt, but,
when once decided, going through
with his purpose, whatever OBJ
stacles opposed. His integrity was
most pure, his justice the most in
flexible / have ever known, no mo-
tives of interest or consanguinity,
of friendship or hatred, being able
to bias his decision. -. On the
whole, his character was, in it's
mass, perfect, in nothing bad, in
few points Indifferent; and it may
truly be said, that never did nature
and fortune combine more perfect
ly to make man great, and to
place him in the same constellation
with whatever worthless have mer-
tied from man an everlasting re-
membrance. For his was the sing
ular destiny and merit, of leading
the armies of his country success
fully through an arduous war, for
the establishment of its indepeno,
ence; of conducting its councils
through the birth of a government,
new in it's forms and principles,
until it had settled down into a
quiet and orderly train; and of
scrupulously obeying the laws
through the whole of his career,
civil and military, of which the his
tory of the world furnishes no
other example"
Profoundly convinced, as I am,
that love of home and of country
not only is the strongest incentive
to individual effort, but also con-
stiutes the only sure foundation of
natural safety and greatness, 1
feel that, in commencing the ex-
ample of the patriotic men by

SOME ARE A BENEFIT

New points in preparing soy
beans for the table have been de-
veloped during the past few
months by scientists working with
new varieties. Fresh soybeans,
they say-the yellow, brown, or
green varieties-may be cooked
like Limas or any other varieties
of shell beans used green. The
green beans shell more easily if
the pods are first boiled for about
3 minutes. The average cooking
time for boiling or steaming the
green beans is about 80 minutes,
and they may then be served SIM
ply with melted butter or white
sauce, or they may be scalloped,
or used in salad. Shalloped green
soybeans with tomatoes or tomato
sauce is another good variation
Prepare dried soybeans in much
the same way as navy and other
dried beans, but soak them longer
and give them much more time
when cooking. In general, dried
soybeans should be soaked oyer
night and cooked for at least 2
hours. Simmer rather than boil
AS they are very rich in fat, they
do not require additional fat in
cooking except for flavor.
Other food uses include soy
sauce, diabetic and infant foods,
breakfast food, oil for cooking and
table use, candied, roasted beans
with a nutlike flavor, and -four for
making ice-cream cones, ice-cream
powder, macaroni products, and
waters.
Skim milk and buttermilk lack
the milk fat and the vitamins re-
moved with the cream or butter,
but they retain practically all the
mineral values, much of the pro-
tein, the milk sugar, and vitamin
@.
Pick red raspberries early in the

Handle them carefully and cool
