day conference at which Gov.
Frank F.. Merriam sought to effect
a truce.
The question of preferential en-
ployment, which precipitated the
walkout, was provided for in the
Merriam plan, but because it in
cluded workers other than men,
bers of the Fruit and Vegetable
Workers union, it was regarded
unlikely that the strikers would
approve the proposal without re-
visions.
The employers also were report
ed considering a recommendation
of State Federation of Labor lead
ers that employers and lettuce
workers resume negotiations, brok-
en- off when the former refused a
preferential hiring clause in a
new contract.

TALK SCHOOL REPAIRS

The State Board of Education
met last Friday at Dover and pur-
suant to the summer school re-
ces, took up the consideration OF
consolidating several school dis
tricts and necessary school build
ing repairs to be consummated
while the schools were closed for
the vacation period. CONSOLIDATE
of several state schools in New
Castle and Sussex Counties was
authorized. The White Clay Creek,
Fairview, Union, and Hillside

special Newark school district.
Pupils of these schools, beginning
next year, will go to the Newark
schools. In Sussex County the
Goodwin School district No. 100
was consolidated into the Millsboro
School district No. %. This action
was taken after several Of the
communities had voted to consoli-
date the districts. Repairs to a
number of schools were considered
after a report of the schools need
ing attention was submitted to the
board. The repairs, which are ex-
pected to be authorized at later
meeting, are planned for the sum-
mer months. The estimated cost
will be between $1,000 and $1,000,
the money to be taken from the
reserve fund of the department.
Included among the schools sched-
uled to have repairs are: Newport,
Marshallton, Henry C.Conrad High
School, Richardson Park, Alexis I.
DUPONT, Trade School in Whining
ton, Middletown, Dover, FELTON,,
Harrington, Milford, and Reho-

Fingerprints Identify
536 Dead in 9 Months

Washington.-Many persons are
buried in potter's fields because
their fingerprints were not filed with
the government, the Department of
Justice reports.
From May 1, 1885, to February J.,
1896, fingerprints of 2,030 deceased
persons, whose identities were un-
known or in doubt, were received
by the bureau of investigation, De-
partment of Justice, police agencies
and corOners' offices in every part
of the country. OF these, identified
ton of 536 was definitely estab-
lished and the addresses and names
of relatives were furnished.
The fingerprint contributors of
729 cases of the 2,03O prints were
without information Of any kind
relative to the identities Of the de-
ceased persons, whereas the Identity
of the other 1901 had been ten
tatiyely established. A comparison
of the 2,O3O sets Of fngerprints with
more than 100000 on record in the
Identification divisions files pro-
vided positive Identification of 173
of the first group and 36S of the
second.
One typical case, in which refer
ence to the bureaus Identification
facilities identified the dead person,
occurred on December "a, 1885. An
unidentified man was killed by a
train near Oakland, Calf. Finger
prints were forwarded to the De
partment of Justice by the coroner's
office there. The department, after
a search through its files, disclosed
that the cad man had a record of
four arrests.

they hope to make a model for adop-
tfon In schools throughout the en-

adopted covers six phases as fol-
lows:
1. Students must bring into class
newspaper clippings Of all automo-
bile accidents.
2. Glass discussions will analyze
the accident and decide the cause :
whether through drunken driving,
slippery streets, faulty mechanism,
etc.
3. Students then will decide what
steps could have been or should
have been taken to prevent the ac-
cident.
4. Injuries resulting from the ac-
cident will be listed and the proper
first aid or emergency treatment de-
cided upon.
5. The situation will then be an
alyzed to decide what laws and
traffic regulations were involved and
whether new ones are needed.
8. A study will be made of local
conditions. listing all hazards and
deciding how such hazards can be
overcome.

There June 29th
FOR TWO FULL WEEKS

The Senior High School girls are
all busy planning what they will
do at Camp Otonka during their
two weeks period of June 29th to
July 18th. They all say that swim
ming of course will be the first in
terest, but horseback riding, bad
minton, tennis instruction, archery,
hikes and other sports such as
bounce ball and volley ball will
take part of the time. The dane
ing will be popular as usual, and,
of course, no evening after supper
is complete without some social
dancing. Dramatics, the activity
closest to all our hearts when we
can become our favorite dashing
Romeo, cruel william or the beauti-
full grand lady, which are all parts
we enjoy taking in the play world
of acting, will again be major
interest. Impromptu evening pro-
grams with our favorite counselors
taking part will be fun. Scaveng-
er hunts, motor boat rides, trip
to the haunted house and sardines,
which is still sport no matter how
old one is, are just some of the
things we will do at camp. Each
evening will be planned by the
campers and the counselors with
things to do thai will be fun and
different until the goodnight bell
rings at 10 o'clock. Iandicraft
where we can work with pottery,
leather, reed or metal will be
peasant on hot afternoons when we
want to be quiet. Sketching some
of the lovely scenes at camp will
be a new experiment we mean to
try even if we aren't artistic We
aren't going to miss the star gaz-
ing and learning the stories about
some of the consultations or being
able to recognize some of the bet
ter known ones either or miss
