PULLORUM ERADICATION
Project Completed States II. r.
Baker, Poultry Pathologist

The summary of the results of
the Pullorum Disease Eradication
Project for 1941-1942 and the offic-
ial list of Delaware hatcheries and
Matching egg producers is now be-
ing distributed. Over one thousand
more birds were bloodtested this
season than last. The number Of
lpullorum free fiocks found this year
was larger than any previous year.
There Were 316,4 birds tested in
666 breeding fiocks and 51S of the
fiocks having 252,000 birds were
found to be free Of pullorum dis
ease. Hatcheries with eggs pur-
chased only from "pullorum clean"
f1ocks are officially recognized as
"Pullorum Clean Hoacheries. The
following hatcheries qualify for this
classification:
Daisey & Tindle Hatchery, Days

Davis Hatchery, Millsboro
C. Norma Grove, Milford

Hateheries which use eggs from
"pullorum passed" or better fiocks
are called del. U. S. Pullorum
Passed Hatcheries." The following
lhatcheries qualify for this classifi-
cation:
Aliens Poultry Farm & Hatch

Hills Hatchery, Seaford
Byron Pepper & Sons, George

Pratt's Hatchery, Middletown
Delaware flock owners experience
very little difficulty in maintaining
pullorum free focks. The most
common regulation which they do
not observe is to purchase chickens
from sources which are not official
ly pullorum free. Many times this
is done unintentionally or through
Misrepresentation by hatcheries not
free of pullorum disease. Copies of
the Delaware official list or infor-
nation about the pullrum disease
status of any out of state hatchery
or breeding flock can always be OBJ
tanned from the State Board of Ag-
riculture.

SEIZED FRENCH PRIZE

Spreading her billowy canvas to
the breeze, the U. S. frigate Con-
stitution (Old Ironsides) sailed the
Spanish Main way back in 1900
during our naval war with France,
Eager for action, her officers and
men decided on a daring venture.
Protected by the bristling guns
of a fort, the Sandwich, a French
vessel which had once belonged to
the English, lay at anchor in the
harbor of Puerto Plata Santo Do
mingo.
Shallow waters prevented the
Constitution from entering the har-
bor, so the u. S. Marines and blue
jackets were transferred to the
Sally, a much smaller vessel. Bold
ly approaching the Sandwich the
Americans swarmed aboard and
captured it before its startled de-
tenders were aware of what was
happening.
Then the Marines under their
own leader, Capt. Daniel Carmick,

A good suit will serve double
duty, for mild and winter weather.
For this purpose, one of the new
models with zip-out lining may
be chosen; or one with lightweight
lining, using heavy sweater be-
meath for cold days.
"Zelan" treated suits, while
water-repellent, permit the body
to breathe = another essential to
comfort. But, because the fabric is
not sealed, moisture can be forced
through. Therefore, it is important
to caution children not to roll,
slide, or tumble too long in water,
vet snow, or slush. Pressure will
'orce wetness through the fabric.
The new snits being light in
eight, provide triamer fit. They
re boon to good grooming be-
'ause they are sHot-resistant, re
pelling non oily stains, as well as
water and snow.

Cost of Daath in War
Is Mounting Dizzilv

TARENTUM, PA. The cost of
killing soldier has increased from
$50 in the time Of Julius Caesar to
between $4,000 and $75, 1000 in the
present war. according to H. v.
Churchill, an industrial chemist.
Churchill told a meeting here the
expense of wartime killing has risen
steadily through the centuries, with
a tremendously great advance oc-
curing between the World war and
today
BY the time of Napoleon, the cost
had become $1,500 for each man
killed, the chemist said, and during
the World war the figure was about
$2,5UJ. He added that Napoleon's
advisers and allies thought the cost
far too high in their time.
Churchill cited as the reason for
the huge increase in the cost the
fact that war isN now fought with
machinery-which adds greatly to
the cost although manpoWer still is
the backbone of war.

TWELFTH NIGHT
/ DRAMA GROUP
Wilmington Drama League to
Stage Shakespearian Play
Next Week
OPENS JANUARY nth

The Wilmington Drama League
for the greater part of next week
will be peopled by strengthening
men and dressed in Tudor
costumes. If a stranger wanders
into the little theatre he may have
to blink several times and wonder
if he were in these days of 1912 or
back in the era of old merry Eng
land. For beginning in the middle
of next week, all actors of "Twelf-
tn Night"-the January IA, Is, 16,
and II production of the Drama
League be wearing their cos
tunes during rehearsals so as to be
"accilmated" to the styles.
Costume Arrangements
Mrs. Genevieve Carothers, mis-
tress of the wardrobe, has arranged
to have costumes on hand, days be-
fore the actual production, for two
main reasons: First, to see that
they all fit; second, to give the
players every opportunity of be-
coming acquainted with the CO.'S
tunes of the Tudor period. The
production committee has announc-
ed the full cast which is as follows:
staff Members
Orsino, Barrett Shaw; Viola,
Gloria Durham; Olivia, Esther
Jackson; Sebastian, Don Holcomb;
Sea Captain, John Sachs; Antonio,
Allan Oemler; Festus, the jester,
Richard Passmore; Fabian, Joseph

ing handled by Samuel Carothers,
direction by Gladys and William P.
Frank. Special musical arrange
ments are being made by William
Vanneman, director of music at the
drama league. A trio will be used
on stage for the important musical
cues.

Mary Baker Eddy: Our heavenly
Father, divine Love, demands that

not merely worship his personality.
It is sad that the phrase-divina

In launching the appeal, Chair.
man Davis said:
There are millions of our citi.
zens who desire today to demon.
strate their will to victory over the
enemy. Not all can be in the armed
forces, and not all can volunteer
their services for humanitarian
work, but all can volunteer their
dollars to arm the Red Cross to be
their representative at the scene of
battle and distress.
To-day is the day to demonstrate
our high morale. our unity, our de
termination not alone to support
our President and our fighting mer
at the front, but also to insure t
our wounded, homeless and suffel
ing fellow citizens in our Pacif'

7 IGHTWEIGHT cotton snowsuits
Il that keep wind and water out
can now be had in fabrics that are
practical even for romping two to
six year olds. These feather-light
garments, shown above, are favor
ties for play because they allow
freedom of movement and are COM
Portable. Discriminating C h o / C e,
however, is essential, to insure
good wear and proper protection.
The important points for prac-
ticality are choice of the right fab
ric, and proper finish. "Zelan"
durable repellent finish will last for
the life of the garment, through re-
peated washing or dry-cleaning. AS
to fabric, it must be dense and
closely woven. Best quality poplin
is top choice. In judging quality,
remember that thickness, which
tends to give the cloth an expen
sive look, is not a factor in wind
repellency nor even in resistance
TO wear. Sound advice in choosing
a cotton suit is to buy the bes
quality you can afforl, especial
for small children's suits which
must take the kind of treatment
seen in the above illustration.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De.
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Our good neighbors Cuba, Gen.
tral America and Mexico have pro-
vided and will probably continue to
provide us with plenty of bananas.
Bananas are said by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture to be
our favorite tropical fruit.
Bananas with their liberal sup
ply of vitamins A, B and c are
classed along with other fruits in
the list of foods protective to
health. Two or more servings of
fruit every day are generally con-
sidered necessary to well bal
anced diet.
Bananas are one of the most di-
gestible fruits if they are eaten
fully ripe. If the bananas you buy
in the store have green tips or are
all yellow let them ripen until they
have brown fiecks.
Room temperature is best for
ripening bananas since a cold room
or a refrigerator prevents good
ripening. Bananas have to be care
fully handled during shipping and
storing with a temperature of
about 80 degrees and controlled
moisture.
There are usual and unusual
ways to serve bananas. The most
common way is to eat them "as
is" for breakfast or lunch. Incl
dentally bananas pack well in lunch
boxes.
1t is easy to mix bananas with
other fruits in salads or fruit cups.
Because they turn brown when ex-
posed to air the slices will be most
attractive if cut just before serv-
ing. If you must cut them before
meal time cover the slices with
some acid fruit juice such as grape
fruit, lemon, orange or pineapple.
There are dozens of unusual
ways to use bananas. Broil or bake
whole peeled bananas to serve with
hamburg, steak or ham. Bananas
cook in short time, usually in s
to 10 minutes.
Bananas add flavor when cooked
with many kinds of pudding such
as baked custard, vanilla corn
starch pudding or butterscotch pud-
ding. The fruit may be sliced or
beaten into such puddings with an
egg beater.
Bran mullins and breads can also
use bananas to advantage.

ONE mistake that great many
~ home owners make is in not
putting enough coal on the fire. This
is false economy. A thin, skimpy
fire not only burns up too fast,.
goes out more easily, and causes
many unnecessary trips to the
cellar, but it also aoastes fuel.
For the most economical opera
tion, always put on enough fuel to
keep the fire-bed level with the
bottom of the fire-door.
In mild weather you can leave a
little heavier accumulation of ash
on the CRATE. The fire will then
burn very slowly, yet there will be
sufficient fuel in the process of
