picturesque fashions Of the gay
nineties now have an opportunity
to see how they wore them. For
some Of the smartest dinner dresses
subscribe to that period. This dress
IL distinctly reminiscent Of that era.
It is Of dull crepe with corselet and
fullsflounce Of panne velvet: The
neckline is draped high, the dress
buttoning in back. The bodies is
gathered onto the corselette section.
The sleeves, with slight fitness at
the top Of the shoulders, are slim
to the elbow. It is done in luscious
shade of plum. /,

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food You Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
By CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.

Nutritionists insist that every
child needs the equivalent of one
quart of milk day and that every
adult needs one pint. Milk contains
valuable vitamins and protein but
it is the calcium of milk which is
most difficult to replace in the diet.
Skim milk contains as much cal
cium as whole milk. Skim milk
plus butter or skim milk plus green
vegetables is the nutritional equal
Of whole milk.
Large families with little money
often find il impossible to purchase
their full quota of whole milk. For
come of these families the purchase
Jf additional quantities Of skim milk
may be the most practical and most
economical way to provide the
amount of calcium which growing
bones so urgently demand.
Skim milk may be used to drink,
in cooking. in cottage cheese or in
any of the ways in which whole milk
is used.
Any person going to a dairy for
bulk skim milk should take clean
covered container. Since all dairies
do not sell bulk skim milk, it would
be well to call the dairy before going
after II.
In the city of Wilmington several
dairies do sell skim milk. This
milk can be purchased at the dairy
offices in ten quart amounts for as
little as one cent a quart and in
smaller amounts at slightly higher
price.
In rural Delaware many farmers |
use their skim milk only for feeding |
livestock. Many of these farmers /
would be glad to sell this milk to I
their neighbors.
It is indeed surprising how many
people realize that skim milk is one

Education and Schools

American education is giving more
children more schooling Throughout
our nation than in any other country
in the world. There is history in the
archives of yester-years which shows
that the illiteracy Of former times
has been brought down to less than
per cent among the native whites,
and to new low among foreign-bOrn
and other classes of citizens.
The records of today are rich in
proving the victories of civilization
which now finds statistics of 30 mil
lion pupils being educated-not in
the little red school houses-in build
ings that cost 10 billion dollars,
Within these walls one and a half
million employees labor; backed by
private and public funds tOtaling two
and a half billion dollars. The job
is to school future citizens who are
to become the cOnqueTOrs Of the
world of tomorrow.
Colleges, universities. public
schools and private schools are cogs
in the general educational machin-
cry. The statistics show more than
2 million pupils in private schools in
the United States. In commenting,
few days ago, daily newspaper in
the National Capital sketched the
career of Mrs. Jessie Moon Holton.
who i'm 1901 began with the late Car
olyn Arms the now famous HOIton-
Arms School for girls. II is on s
Street which has become noted in the
political. social and educational life
in Washington where lived former
Presidents Wilson and Hoover, and
where one now finds the homes Of
statesmen. diplomats and many other
notables.
Perhaps Washington owes part of
the success and growth of private
schools TO the fact that in former
times the sessions of Congress we're
of short duration and the private
schools offered a welcome service to
the families of Senators and Con-
grejsmen. who considered them
selves transient residents. In these
schools their daughters began to
turn out so well that the private
schools of the city automatically
were associated in the minds of stu
dents and patrons with other inJti- !
ththOho VI hlEutl itdTHIUE. nat Is ]
why the Times Herald related that I
has furnished the edu- I
background for girls from !
every state in The Ufifon and from I
every foreign country. "
II gives proper credit to the personal
qualities of a teacher in saying that
Mrs. Holton has. to a degree ap-
genius. the ability to es-
innate the pattern of education best
suited to the individual" From this
school girls are sent to college or

on.
There remains no doubt that the
private school is a great factor in the
lation's educational system. as one

which show Holton-Arms pioneering

'rOup of handsome buildings in two

New Job Opportunities

What motivating forces are in the
offing to act. as did the great indus

ton to conduct a survey among more

ty of new things-some already be-
ing produced on commercial basis.
others so well advanced in the labor
atory as to indicate the probability
OF their practical application in
short time.
Accordingly. this leader was able
to answer his own question with the
following conclusions. which are
those of Alfred P. Sloan. Jr.. Chair
man of General Motors: "One en-
phatic answer lies in the laborator-
les of industry. in the constant striv-
ing for more and better products at
lower cost.
With only casual public notice,
there has been emerging from indus
trial laboratories and scientific work
shops everywhere. during the de-
preston years, a flow of new pro-
ducts and new concepts which bid
fair to create for us. in reality, a
new world of tomorrow. New knowI-
edge and new skills have opened up
fields of possibilities little dreamed
of even a decade ago.
Seldom in so short a period of
time have so many possibilities ap-
peared upon the industrial horizon.
II may be said, therefore, that there |
exist today the fundamental elements
essential to a broad and sound up-
turn in economic activity. For as 1
new products are brought into being
and new methods are discovered to 4
bring products. new and old. within 1
