River Reports Its Own
Height Over Telephone

HARTFORD. CONN.-OP Man
Rivers got a telephone and only
the weathernan knows the number.
A new apparatus, installed in a
cabin on the bridge spanning Con-
necticut river, tells the weatherman
the exact height of the water at
any time.
The weatherman simply dials a
secret number, waits until he hears
a ding dong" which announces
the connection has been completed,
and then listens for buzzer signals
which come at variable intervals.
Stop-watch in hand, the observer
times the intervals. If the intervals
are 10 seconds apart, the river is
10 feet high. Simple as all that.
Heretofore, the weatherman has
had to risk a wetting in a rowboat
to get to the gauge for reading
at unusually high water.

Machine Introduces New
Twist to Nut Cracking

DAVIS, CALIF.-The University
of California college of agriculture
has new twist or nut cracking.
No longer need nuts be cracked by
crushing. They can now be cracked,
at the rate of 900 pounds of whole
walnuts an hour, by exploding them.
according to Science Service.
The machine to do this job, known
as the internal combustion nut
cracker, has been developed and
patented by the university's agricu1-
tural college.
1t was developed at the request
of the states walnut industry, which
has until now used crushers and
hand labor, which are expensive
and wasteful, to separate hull from
meat.
The nuts are fed in the new ma
chine between two rubber-faced
belts past circular saw which cuts
a slot in the shell. They are then
conveyed over gas jets contained in
a guide rib which fits into the aper-
ture cut in the shell and the space
between the nut meat and the shell
is filed with an explosive mixture.
At the end Of the conveyor line, the
nuts drop through circular burner
which ignites the gas and blows the
shell away from the kernels. The
nut meats drop vertically into one
container, while a larger one sur
rounding it catches the pieces of
shell.
The nut meats are 60 per cent,
whole or in halves, with few small
pieces in the remaining 40 per cent.

STATE BOARD
HEALTH NEWS
Caution on the Part of Chill
dren Playing With
Explosives
BLASTING CAPS

A national campaign to lessen
the number of accidents resulting
from children playing with blast
ing caps is being supported by the
State Board of Health, which to-
day issued a warning bulletin urg
ing caution in respect of storing
and using explosives and these
caps.
This warning is particularly ap-
propriate in Delaware, for most of
these accidents occur in country
districts; children find the caps in
the neighborhood of blasting oper-
ations, where they have been left
by careless workmen. Playing
with these caps usually results in
an accident.
These accidents often result in
children being blinded, or losing
fingers or hands, and thus going
through life in crippled condi-
tion. In some cases children are
killed.
Blasting caps are small copper
cylinders used to detonate explo-
sives in mines, quarries, construc-
tion work, and in blasting bitches,
stumps and boulders. They are
closed at one end and loaded with
a sensitive and powerful explosive.
Electric blasting caps are similar
to the regular caps except that
they have wires attached and are
detonated by an electric current
from a blasting machine.
When the cap explodes small
particles of copper fly in all direc-
tions. Any child nearby may be
hurt or killed. Accidents from
blasting caps are reported every
week of of the year, though most
of them occur during the spring,
summer and fall months when
children play out-of-doors. Most
of the accidents occur in the rural
districts or in the suburbs of the
larger cities.
The campaign to protect chill
dren from the dangers Of playing
with blasting caps has been par
ticipated in by government agen-
cies, safety associations, Boy
Scouts, school authorities and 9TH
er important nationwide institu-
tions.
The Delaware State Board of
Health is emphasizing the import
ance of workmen not leaving these
caps where children and irrespon-
sible persons may find them. In
most cases accidents to children
would never have occurred if some
workman had not carelessly left
blasting caps in the neighborhood
of his work, or in accessible cup
boards or barns.
All parents and teachers are be-
ing urged by the State Board of
Health to warn children not to
play with these blasting caps, but
when they do find one, to notify an
officer of the law or other respon-
sible adult

Man is more than a material form
with a mind inside, which must es-
cape from its environments in or

infnity, and this reflection is the
true idea of God.

now in the Labor Department; Of
flee of Education, now in interior
Department; Public Health Ser
vice, now in Treasury Department;

agement Of the National Park Ser
vice, now Interior Department; U.

900.
WAGE & HOUR RULE House
leaders have tentatively agreed to
bring the Norton amendments lib
eralizing the Wage-Hour Act be
fore the House on Monday under
suspension of the rules. Planning
to bring the bill up, suspension of
the rules were adopted by leader
ship, since under these rules only
40 minutes of debate are allowed
and amendments are barred. This
action was taken because it was
feared that vote trading might re-
suit in the Act being literally
amended out of existence. 81 am

COMING All CELEBRATION
Will Be Held on Campus of Muir
phey School, Dover

Twenty-Five years of All club
work in Delaware will be celebrat-
ed as a part of the program of the
annual Club Rally to be held on
Saturday, May goth, on the Eliza
beth w. Murphey School campus.
Invitations have been sent to club
members of former years to return

Dewey Sapp, first club member in
the state, will be present and ex-
tend greetings to the 1889 mem
bers, two of which are his daugh-
tiers, Hazel and Anne. Clinton
Marvel of Houston, another MEM
ber of the first All Club, is plan
ming to attend. Further details of
the program will be worked out by

Agent, and will appear in later is

ment budgets have expanded in a
spectacular manner. A larger than
ever portion of the proceeds of
labor has been turned over by the
self-supporting person in taxes to
help support the government and
those on relief. This cuts the lab
orers spending ability, and in turn
reduces the number of sales of
manufactured articles, and finally
the incentive for capital to invest
is lessened. In other words, the
tax burden resulting from careless
spending by the government is
leading the country to destruction.
Al CLUB SETS NEW HIGH
Four-H club enrolment reached a
new high in 1888, with 1,286,029
boys and girls listed as members in
IA ,594 local clubs. This brings the
total number of young people who
have received All training since
1914 to 100000
BILLS ENACTED - The House
approved several bills of import
ance including the bill providing
training for civilian air pilots; and
the Jones bill providing for re-
duction in the limit on maximum
soil conservation payments to any
one person from the present linn
itation of $4,000 to $1,000. The
Senate passed the three important
fiscal bills: The measure authoriz-
ing S66, 100000 naval air base pro-
gram; the measure providing more
than $3.50, 100000 for various pur-
poses, about $12O,0OO,000 Of this is
for national defense program
items; and the third measure was
the S175,OO,OOO Department of In
terror Appropriation Bill.
WORK AHEAD - Congress has
cleared up minor legislation and is
now ready to start on the major
part of the most important legis-
lation. Amendments to the Social
Security Act, Neutrality Act, and
the Labor Relations Act will be
submitted to Congress by the Com
mittees, along with other import
ant proposals.
MONETARY POWERS - The
House passed the bill extending
for two years the dollar devalua-
tion powers of the President and
his. authority to continue opera
tions of the -billion-dolla sta
bilization fund. The measure will
now go to the Senate for debate.
HELP KEEP PEACE view
of the fact that European nations
are in such a state of affairs as to
lead most anyone to believe that a
world war is inevitable, we must
all keep our minds turned, as
much as possible, toward the
thought Of peace. In the final
count, it is always public senti-
ment that causes a nation to enter
into or avoid war The so-called
causes of war only help to agitate
this feeling among the public until
hysteria becomes so great as to
wipe out all common-sense reason
ing. That public sentiment has
been the cause of America enter
ing into other wars, has been prov
en- by history. We should profit
by our mistakes, and now, when
war propaganda is spreading, is
the time for US to use clear think
ing. We must keep public senti-
ment on an even, sound basis if
we want to stay out of a war
which will bring us nothing but
sorrow and bloodshed.
