The past and present cost as shown

Commission.
Played Smart Hand
Some observers here believe Supt.
Erwin has played one of the smart
est hands ever played in the biennial
game of stud" poker played between
the heads of the various departments
and institutions and the Advisory
Budget Commission, by refusing to
reveal his face-down card = the
amount of the appropriation which
ne hopes to obtain from the 1887 Cen
eral Assembly for the public schools.
They point out that even now he has
cot said definitely just what the ap-
preparation is he hopes to get but that
all he has done has been to present
a program" he would like to sec
adopted and that the figure of $27,-
100000 year is the budget commits
5ion's not his. It is agreed, of course,
hat the Advisory Budget Commits
'ion is likely to cut his figures down
materially in its recommendations to
he General Assembly.
It is generally concede- in politi-
al circles here that Erwin purpose
and deliberately attempted to side
step presenting a budget calling for
my definite amount for the schools
or the next two years, and presented
lis program" instead in order to
keep from committing himself to
any one figure. The reason for this,
according to the prevailing belief here
is that if he set a figure below the
amount wanted by the teachers and
The N. C. State Education Associa-
ton, he would at once get "in bad"
with the school forces, as he did in
he 1885 general assembly. On the
other hand if he set a figure too
high, he might get Gin bad" with the
legislature. But now he is regarded
IS still being on the fence.

n YEw YEAR DAY arrives and
the Du Pont families OF VIII

generations.

and stay at home beside heavy-laden
bufYets and wine carts to greet the

SERIES sweetmeats and 60
the rounds Of al the
Du Pont homes. It's the one day Of
the year in which all the Du Points
see all the Du Points.
That's one custom to which the
young and handsome Franklin Roose-
welt, jr., probably. will be introduced
when he marries the beauty OF the
Wilmington clan, Ethel du Pont, In
June.
But Miss du Pont no doubt will be
indicted into just as interesting
Roosevelt custom. Their most famous
one centers around birthday anniver-
saries in the family. The family
gathers wherever the President and
his wife happen to be.
A magnificent cake is brought to
the dinner table. 1t never bears more
than 81 candles, for age stops there
for the Roosevelts as far as the birth
day anniversary cake Is concerned.
Each diner lights one candle and
makes a wish for the birthday ami
versary child. II any remain un-
lighted, the round starts again, and
those lucky enough to secure second
candle may make wish for them
selves.
Traditions Flourish.
Those are Just two outstanding
traditions which will enrich the fu-
ture lives Of the country's No. l ro-
mancers Of the day. There are many
others.
For instance. the homes. Each
family has . Summer home on the
Maine Coast. The Du Points 60 to
North East Harbor, Me, where they
sail and play golf in the tangy air.
The Roosevelts 60 to Campo Bello, q
resort island in New Brunswick, Can
ada, where they sail and pack picnic
hampers.
Each Winter both families repair to
the South.
Roosevelts Love Fun.
Even the year-round homes Of the
two families are much alike. The Du
Pont manor is big place with ma
hogany furniture, fireplaces, books and
one "Show room," the two-story en-
trance hall in which the brides IA
ther has hung his hunting trophies.
The Roosevelt home Is another COM
Portable, rambling place with books
and mahogany. But instead Of hunt
ing trophies it has the marine treas
ures of the President:
There will be q slight difference In
the spirit of the places. however. The

Rob Altar of ST. Denis R.C.Church
of SOO-Pound Bronze Tabernacle
Police are covering a wide ter
ritory of the Delmarva peninsula
in search for the thieves and van
dals who entered st. Denis r. C..
Church over at Galena, Md, and
ripped from the altar a 300-pound
bronze tabernacle holding COM
munion waters left from the
Christmas Eve midnight mass and
carted it off. Whether the thieves
thought the tabernacle was made
of gold or whether they stole it for
sale to junk dealers as bronze are
questions that the police are pom
dering. That the thieves were in
terested in the metal only, which
was valued at about S40O, was the
fact that they left behind them
several pairs of gold candlesticks
valued at $50 to S1OO a pair and
money that had been left as offer
ings by the worshipers earlier in
the evening. The vandals wrench
ed the tabernacle from the bolts
that held it to the altar. The in
trinsic value of the tabernacle,
which was about 1S inches, was
placed at about S400. Although it
appeared, because of the weight of
the tabernacle, that at least three
men must have participated in the
theft, the only traces left were a
few smudges of dirt on the upper
most white altar cloth. State po-
lice of Maryland and Delaware and
police of the District of Columbia
were called by the Rev. John NJ
Walsh. pastor, when he discovered
the theft early Friday morning. An
immediate investigation was begun
by Sheriff John N. Bennett of Kent
