STATE SUFFERS VERY
LITTLE FROM MEASLES
[COntinHed from First Psgsl

Continued from First Psge
Cured in New Castle county or in
the City of Wilmington. The last
severe outbreak, commencing first
in New Castle county, took nearly
two years to cover the State, grad
ually working down through Kent
and Sussex counties. 1t is to be ex-
pected that somewhat the same
course will be followed in connec-
ton with the present outbreak.
In general, it may be said that the
fatality connected with the outbreak
is relatively low, with 1882 cases re-
ported in the year 1887 and only 4
deaths.
The greatest danger from measles
seems to lie in the failure of some
parents to realize the need for med
ical care; many, unfortunately, be-
little the dangers of the disease,
with the result that death may oc-
cur, or the child be left permanently
weakened in some organ.
The State Board of Health is
stressing the necessity Of reporting
every single case occurring; the
difficulty Of control frequently
arises through failure to report
cases and hence the disease is
spread before health authorities
have knowledge OF its presence.

The next evening we pulled
into Waycross, Ca. to stay over
night with the Mccullough fam
lily, a very charming lot, that
pour forth genuine hospitality.
This is the land of the cane

telling some fish yarn. The
tobacco crop this year is
bumper, and the warehouses are
crammed to the doors with the
golden leaves that are bringing
anywhere from Is to 80 cents
per pound. And politics is a
great issue with a three-cornered
fight under way. Before de-
parting for st. Augustine, our
next stop, we took time out to
visit one of the massive ware
houses and listen to the musical
notes of the tobacco auctioneer.
To save us, we could not under
stand one word of the chant,
but the tobacco buyers were well
at home with the lingo and
never hesitated one moment in
their calling.

sport-fisiling center, was our
next move. Here we found sail

corbia, barracuda and dolphin

Townsends, and is considered
the worlds best big-fish guide,
but he'll be back in the fall, we

The new bathhouse at Uncle
Billie's Amusement Park, North

fills a long-felt need for dressing
rooms adjacent to the pier and

the bathhouse right onto the pier,
and the beach is only a few steps
further.
Thousands are enjoying the
bathing at this popular spot dur

find it cool as can be on the floor

Hollerith makes an initial showing OF
water colors, a medium which she
has taken up quite recently and with
especial pleasure.
There could hardly be imagined
greater contrast in two groups of
paintings than between Miss Meltons
oils and Miss Hollerith's water colors.
Miss Melton has scored exceptional
success in her paintings Of flowers
and still life Her work is distinctly
positive and without reticence. What
she has to say she says vigorously
and with self-assurance. Some Of her
figures are exceedingly commendable
but not all. Her craftsmanship is
often faulty, and her characterization
far from pleasing. Art is something
more than representation; it is good
painting, and painting which has be-
hind it a spiritual quality. 1t is true
that comparatively few artists, only
those most accomplished, gain through
aggregation Of their works. Miss Mel
tons exhibition would appear to much
better advantage were it but half the
present size. A great deal of the
trouble with art today Is the tempo

painters impossible.
Among the best Of Miss MeltonS
figure studies, now on exhibition, are
Manuel Of Taxco," 1.-THE Banana
Man" and "Tia vieja," the last q
double portrait, which, despite certain
obvious shortcomings, has much to
recommend 1t. Among her still-life
studies are two, rendered with ex-
ceptional skill, one Of lilies, the other
Of Chinese Lanterns"
Miss Hollerith's water colors, which
hang in the reception room, dining
room and hall, are less forceful than
her oil paintings by which her repu-
tation has been made, but more subtle
and sensitive. Some were painted at
Gloucester and show sea and rocks !;
Others near the Hollerith summer
home in Mathews County, Va. Among
the latter is very charming presen-
tation Of an old home, woodstock" I"

purpose which brought it into ex-

success has been acclaimed.
