Worth of Missing Tools at
st. Georges Bridge
S3S.OO WRIST WATCH

The search for the needle in the
haystack is picnic compared with
the search for valuables at the bot
tom of a bridge pier. Two men and
a huge steam shovel-so large two
dips of its bucket filled truck
spent Friday excavating a cavern
Gus hole in the ground that had
just recently been filled up-to re-
cover a gold wristwatch and some
tools. Construction workers on the
new st. Georges bridge many
months ago dug the first hole. in
which was laid one of the massive
concrete piers of the mile-long span.
The pier was completed, the hole
filled in around its base, and sever
al weeks ago the earth was care
fully graded. Friday, a check of
properties disclosed about 500
worth of tools, and workers S3S
watch, were somewhere at the bot
tom of the hole. By nightfall, a
towering mound of mud and damp
earth by the side of the concrete
pier was mute evidence that search
was still unfruitful.

S1,665 ANNUAL
RURAL INCOME
Survey of Records Kept by Sc
Delaware Farm Families is
Analysed by L. of ID.
21 IN KENT COUNTY

Household records kept last year
by Sc rural Delaware families
showed their gross incomes averag-
ing slightly more than $1,665. Size
of these families range from two to
IL members. The average family
size was 3.5 members. An analysis
of the home records by Miss Louise
r. Whitcomb, home management
specialist for the University of Del
aware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, reveals that the Sc families
divided their income as follows !:
Savings $3.50 in payment on prin-
cipal of notes, S72 for life insur-
ance, and $46 for other invest
ments, S278 as an average went to-
ward building up family security,
or II per cent; S245 for purchased
food; S177 for automobile transpor-
tation; new furnishings SIT and re-
pairs on the house S31, total of
$108 on home improvements;
household operation came to S142
per family, and for clothing the
families averaged 500. Of the re-
manning cash received by the fam
lilies, $62 went into church contri-
buttons and community giving, $40
for personal care, $40 for medical
care, S31 for family recreation, and
$25 for education, including school
supplies, periodicals, and newspap-
er. Farm expenses were also TAX
en- out of the total cash income.
Since family health is dependent
upon an abundant supply of the
right foods, the fact that these Del
aware families each averaged $50
worth of food raised at home, or 40
per cent of the total food consum-
ed, is significant. But only a few
families were reaching the goal of
two-thirds of the family's food rails
ed on the home farm. The rural
families that kept records are scat
tered throughout the state % in
New Castle County, 81 in Kent
County, and 13 in Sussex County.

gagged in this line of work for q
number of years at the Delaware

ties during the past thirty years
have won for her the Cosmopolite
of the Month accolade from the
July issue Of Cosmopolitan maga-
zine in a story related by Gretta
Palmer.
Major Flikke's nursing career
began in 1912, Miss Palmer reports,
when she was widow Flikke, a
plain Wisconsin housewife, child
less and desirous Of some occupa-
ton to fill her thoughts. During
her husbands fatal illness she OBJ
served the useful, satisfying work
of a nurse and resolved to become
one herself. After finishing course
in Chicago's Augstan Hospital. she
took postgraduate work at Colum-
bia University, and promptly Joined
the Nursing Corps when the United
States entered the World War.
After a mere month she was pro-
NOTED to the rank of chief nurse,
and was brought to New York to
pilot hundred nurses to France.
In the heart of the battlefield area.
Mrs. Flikke set about her work
with crude resources and dire
weather conditions, but she and
her assistants went about their
work accomplishing. When the
s~rnistice was reached, Mrs. Flikke
did not, like many other nurses,
return to America Immediately.
Instead she remained in France and
Germany caring for wounded
American soldiers.
On her return, she became so
devoted to her army work that she
was given posts at various camps
