suit. what more can you ask!
This dotted kerchief bra, and cap
made of the rest of the kerchief,
are attractive as can be, and as
we've mentioned before, so use

the bra is form fitting, has a cord
about the neck, and is lined. The
hat is a triangle folded and but
toned, with the button worn in
the back or the front, equally
smart either way. The set is but

wearing the cap in a rumble seat,
as it is adjustable, with two but
tonholes, and fits so snugly that
it would hold your hair in place.

The churches of America are in

Of the good neighbor could not find
a more fitting application than

the road may be matters Of life and
death to others. Their obligations r.
drive with regard for the safety Of

others are the obligations Of a prac-
teal Christianity.
The national traffic safety move
ment needs to mobilize all Orgahiza-
tons interested in the rights and
happiness Of their fellow men. Our
churches should be in the yanguard
of the volunteers, and some already
are. If every occupant of pulpit
could prevail upon every parishion-
er to take the lead in recognizing
and accepting his duty to drive and
walk safely, we would have
staunch army on the side Of traffic

STATE BOARD HEALTH
NSTRUCTS MIDWIVES

CONTINUED from First Psge1
which to notify the county health
officer of impending births, and to
report i'll mothers OF new born in
fants.
In order that they may be fully
equipped for the work, public health
nurses will make monthly visits to
each midwife to check her methods
and equipment. As a means of fur
ther instructions, midwives are to be
called together for quarterly con-
ferences in various centers through
out the State.
The annual average of thirty-three
maternal deaths, or about sixty-eight
per ten-thOusand live births, is con-
sidered by DR.. A. C. Jost, executive
secretary of the State Board of
Health, as much higher than justi-
fed Part Of Delaware's high rate
is attributed to the great proportion
of colOred mothers in the State, as
compared to the United States as
whole; records show that the rate
of loss among cOlOred births ex-
ceeds that among white. and the fact
that cOlored prospective mothers are
more prone to patrOnize midwives
than physicians, is thought to be
largely responsible for this.

larly worried lest some one was in
jured, and lest the old building
catch fire.
Some of the women were hys-
terical," he said, but they we're
soon quieted."
Lauds JanltOF's Work
Mr.. Smith lauded the janitorial
workers who responded to the
emergency.
Samuel Griffin, one of the jani-
tors" Mr.. Smith said, was up in
the cupOla with the State House fire
hose, looking for fire, by the time l
reached the building"
The old building was badly shak-
en- by the bolt. Two hours after the
cupola was wrecked the skylight in
the State Library Commission Offices
collapsed. The glass covered the
desk of Mrs. ROyden Hammond, but
she was not in the room at the time.
Repair Work Started
William d. Denney, custodian of
the State House, Immediately had
workmen on the scene, covering the
exposed parts of the building from
the rain.
Governor c. Douglass Buck was
not at his Office in the Legislative
Building at the time.
The State House is the Oldest
capital building in the United States
in continuous use. The cupOla has
been one of its most attractive fea-
lures. 1t was restored in 1909 with
the remainder of the building to its
original beauty.
The first building on that site was
the Kent County Court House built
in 1922. Sixty-nine years later, the
building was reconstructed.
Moved To Dover In 1873
When the seat of State govern
ment moved in 1873 from New Castle
tC Dover, the old building on that I
site became the State House.
It was in the present day State
House that Delaware delegates con-
vened and ratified the federal Con-
stitution, thus giving this State the
honor of being the first to approve
the Constitution.
