CALLS VICTORY GREATEST
Democratic State Head Congratu-
lates Workers and Independents

John Biggs, Jr., chairman of the
Democratic State Committee said
this morning of the election that
the results of Tuesdays election
represents the greatest Demo
cratic victory in forty years. I
want to congratulate every Demo
cratic worker in Delaware and also
the heads and workers of the Inde-
dependent Republican Party" he
said. THE Independent Republi-
cans were instrumental in forcibly
bringing to the attention of the
electorate, the domination of the
state by one small group. Our own
ticket deserved to win. The
strength displayed by President
Roosevelt was amazing, to say the
least. He has carried the state by
a larger majority than Hoover
achieved in 1882. The people real
lied the debt of gratitude they
owed President Roosevelt for
bringing the Nation out Of the
greatest depression it has witness

room. sterlizing room, labor room,
delivery room, and nursery. The
fourth floor is given over entirely
TO living quarters for employees.
TO the rear of the Medical Center
Il the Guest Pavilion. This build
ing houses 140 white men. The
living room of this building is
used for church service every Sun
day afternoon, movies every two
weeks, and various entertainments.
During the summer the movies
shows are held out of doors. Be
yond the Guest Pavilion, at the end
of the covered walk is the kitchen.
An appropriation by the last ses-
sion of the Legislature together
with a P. w. A. grant provided
funds for this building as well as
the laundry and garage. Most of
the food for the institution is pre-
pared in this kitchen. However,
all special diets are prepared in the
diet kitchen on the first floor of
the Medical Center Building. Cook
ing is done by both gas and steam.
This kitchen is very well equipped
and is large enough to care for any
future expansion of the institution.
There are three large refrigerators
one for meat, one for fruits and
vegetables, and one for dairy pro-
ducts. These are electrically cool
ed. There is also an electric ice
making machine which manufac-
lures ice for use on the floors. The
large store rooms are filed month
" with food, which, like all other
supplies for the institution, is
bought on bid. There is a very ef-
ficient garbage can sterlizer. All
garbage is sold, thus adding to the
revenue of the institution. The
dietitian's Office is in this building
as is also the employees dining
room. To the rear of the kitchen
is a large building with three Sec
tions. The center section is the
power house. Steam is generated
by two 16O H. p. Boilers, either of
which is capable of supplying the
needs of the institution. Soft coal
is burned by means of mechanical
stokers. There are scales conven-
lent to the boilers and all coal is
weighed before being burned. A
water softener which was recently
installed in the power house will
aid greatly in preventing corrosion
of the water pipes and also in re-
ducing the amount of soap used in
the laundry. Water circulating
pumps are also in this building. In
this power house complete hard
ware store room has been con-
structed. To the east of the power
house is the garage, which houses
nine cars. The institution owns
five motor vehicles, three of which
are used by the social service de-
partment. The other two are used
for work on tn ground department
and transporting patients and en-
ployees. The institution also owns
a tractor which is used for general
ground work To the west of the
power house is the laundry. It is
expected that the use of this laun-
dry will save the institution a,
least so per cent on its laundry
costs. Eight employees as well ss
several guests work in the laundry
The laundry equipment is the most
efficient and modern available. II
consists Of two washers, an extrac,

lagra, dread scourge of the poorer
country families in Louisiana, dur
ing the depression was reduced
to nearly a minimum, the Louis.
lana Board of Health indicated in
its latest reports.
Authorities point out several
causes for this decrease. The
seeming anomaly of the disease
decreasing during the depression
is explained by the necessity Of
the poorel farmers changing from
cotton growing to the raising of
a variety of vegetables, which pro
vide the necessary vitaminS. An.
other reason may be attributed to
the increase in Government farm
relief activity.
Caused by an unbalanced diet,
the disease was prevalent during
the periods of floods and unSuc.
cesSful cotton seasons. The poorer
farm lasses, depending solely on
the raising of cotton for their live
lihood, did not use a variety Of
VitaminS in their food.
Potatoes, vans and other
Starchy foods were the mainStay
Of their diet. The result invari-
ably during seasons when money
was scarce in the households,
would be an increase of pellagra.

ONE of the most significant dra-
matte events of the season took
place last night at Pierce Hall when
Bury the Dead" the Irwin Shaw
play which has caused so much rum
pus, was read by a professional cast
of three, under the auspices of the
New Theater League of Washington.
The audience which crowded the
small hall listened with devout inter-
est to every word which Actors Hester
Sonderguard, Robert Shayne and Lee
Cobb spoke sitting at table on which
was placed single light.
In such a manner did Fredric
March. his wife. Florence Eldredge,
and Director Actor John Cromwell
likewise read this play to a spellbound
audience not so long ago in Holly
wood. Judging from last nights re-
suits, this is the sort of thing that
should stimulate new interest in not
only play reading, but play writing
since Mr.. Shaw's work, young as it is
the is but 24, is strong in feeling
strong in his ardor for peace and good
will and bitterly cruel in the pictures
which it presents.
We wish that every drama lover in
town could have been there last
night The actors, professionals as
they were, did their work with amaz-
ing skill. They spoke 40 parts as
though they we're 10 men and women,
and Miss Sonderguard, especially, pro-
gressed from horror to despair to
childish whimsy with such success
that if you had shut your eyes you
would have been bound to believe that
she was not one person but 20 and /.
The theme that Mr.. Shaw discusses
Is the not too hilarious business of
six corpseS who, during the war, re-
fuse to be buried. The action takes
place mostly at the edge of the graves
where generals and doctors and min
listers and wives and sweethearts come
to plead with the dead that they re-
main where they are. The six wan
dering ghosts, however, in magnificent
fashion, plead for the earth and the
sun and the sky and refuse to be put
under the ground. And, as the play
Evening star., 1936-06-04

closes, after they have been implored
by most of mankind, they are shown
wandering into a horizon which Is
far from the 6-foot grave they were
meant to have anticipated.
Mr.. Shaw's skill in moving his
scenes from one side of the stage to
the other, his vibrant dramatic Ian
guage, his living characters, as we'll
as his living dead, and his dramatic
appeal for peace and life and brave
future make this play that should
long be remembered.
The actors received an ovation at
the conclusion of the play. We only
wish they might repeat it so that
drama lovers who we're not present
last night might have an opportunity
to hear what they have missed.
