came to $142 per family, and fOl
clothing the families averaged 1893
OF the remaining cash received
by the families. $62 went into
church contributions and commun-
ity giving, $40 for personal care
$40 for medical care, $31 for fam
lily recreation, and $25 for educa-
tion, including school supplies, per-
iodicals. and newspaper. Farm ex-
penses were also taken out of the
total cash income.
Since family health is dependent
upon an abundant supply of the
right foods, the fact that these
Delaware families each averaged
$3.50 worth of food raised at home,
or AZ per cent of the total food con-
sumed, is significant. But only a
few families were reaching the
goal of two-thirds of the family's
food raised on the home farm.
The rural families that kept
records are scattered throughout
the state-221in New Castle county,
21 in Kent county. and 1S in Sussex
county.

N the Chinese were celebrating
April Fools Day today, you may be
sure they would do it with firecrack-
ers.
China is the great home Of the
frecracker. 1t seems to have been
the first place where the little noise
making things ever were made, and
for hundreds Of years they have been
used in the big country OF Eastern
Asia.
All through the year there are
HOLIDAYS which are marked by eX-
plodinp firecrackers Many times
Chinaman doesn't wait for a holl-
dav: he gives a dinner party ana
makes his guests feel good by setting
of firecrackers-the more noise the
better.
The greatest firecracker day is the
Chinese New Year. 1t is celebrated
when the first new moon comes after
the sun is seen in a certain part OF
the sky, the sign of Aquarius." The
date is somewhere between January
21 and February 10.
The old Chinese calendar dates
back 1883 years. A Chinaman who
followed it might say, This is the
wear 4638," instead of using our plan
and saying, This is 1941."
To this day the Chinese keep the
old calendar to some extent and
observe the New Year holiday. The
republic, however, made a law say
ins the official" calendar of the
nation would be like our calendar,

Answer to YesteFdov's Puzzle


Through thousands Of years the Chi
nese have suffered from invasion,
floods and famine. but they still are
there, more than 100000, 900 of them.
Among those who invaded China
are the Manchus. Three centuries
ago they came in from the north
and conquered the country. A
Manchu took over the throne of
China and ruled as emperor After
him came many other Manchu en-
perors, and they kept power until
revolution brought about repub-
lie.
While the Manchus were in power
there came into being great num-
ber of public officers known as
"kwans" or "kuans." That is what
the Chinese called them. In the
outside world they came to be known
as "mandarins," q name from the
Hindu language. There were nine
kinds, or grades. of mandarins. They
often were rich, and some were
greatly feared blythe plain people.
