ON February first of this year

be inflicted with colds.
But the victim who announces
that he has common cold" is
rendering diagnosis which few
competent physicians would dare to
support-at least in the first few
days. For, as Gretta Palmer ex-
plains in the February Cosmopolitan
magazine, just half of all disabling
diseases start with the same symp-
toms as a cold, and the list includes
measles, diphtheria, tuberculosis
and scarlet fever.
Assuming, however that you be-
long to the majority of today's suf-
ferers who are actually suffering
from cold, what you may ask, has
medical science to offer you? There
are some definite recommendations,
but Miss Palmer points out that
doctors frankly disagree about the
cause and cure of the cold. The find
ings of laboratory workers have
frequently been in conflict even on
such elementary matters as whether
a cold is caused by germ, or by
temperature changes in the atmos-
phere, or by errors in the diet.
A recently published medical re-
port, Miss Palmer states, empha-
sized the fact that there are many
varieties of cold and the treatment
for one variety, however good it may
be, is not the best treatment for some
other type of cold. But in any cold,
Standardization is always danger
Gus thing unless it has been proper
ly diagnosed-and Miss Palmer adds
that no cold has been diagnosed until
doctor has observed its symptoms
and made number of tests.
But there are few things you
should do no matter what kind of
cold you have. AS Miss Palmer has
outlined them they are:
Go to bed and stay there. Forget
the old adage "Stuff a cold and
starve a fever. All doctors agree that
a diet made up largely of fruit
juices, soups and other liquids is
best for the sufferer. Drink at least
six glasses of water day. Stay in a
warm room, away from drafts. But,
If possible, avoid air that is too dry.

School Emergency

Delaware, together with the
nation at large, is facing an
acute shortage of teachers,
which is daily growing more
serious as defense require
ments and a flow of teachers
into better paid occupations
continue to threaten the quail
ity of educational opportunity.
1t is becoming nearly i'm
possible to replace teachers so
lost by adequately trained per-
sons, reports indicate. The
only solution to the problem
which will safeguard the best
interests of America is to
keep our teachers by increas-
ing their salaries to a point
where they can afford to stay,
according to a report by the
National Commission for the
Defense of d e m ocra y

In normal times the Navy
Relief Society has not found
it necessary to seek public aid.
With the present authorized

In the committee report,
just made public, effective and
universal education is declar-
ed to be the bulwark of self
government, with the long
time battle for democracy to
be won through the public
schools. The survival of de-
mocracy depends entirely
upon the earnest efforts of flu
ture citizens who are now be-
ing trained in democratic
principles in the schools.
1t is of the utmost import
ance to the American way of
life that we do not weaken the
schools as the longtime De-
Tense of Democracy.
Part of the physical and ed
ucational unfitness of youth
rejected for military service,
the committee finds, can be
traced directly to the weaken
ing of public education during
the First World War when in
flated living costs compelled
low-salaried teachers to ac-
cept better wages in business
and industry, with their plac-
es in the schoolrooms being
filled largely by unqualified
persons.
Already, the committee de-
clares, we are entering the
first cycle of events similar to
those which devastated the
schools during and following
the last World War.
Teachers, in large numbers,
are today leaving their class
rooms for the better-paid jobs
in defense industry.
Throughout the nation a
preliminary survey S h o W S
that up to 10000 emergency
teaching certificates will be
granted to persons unable in
normal times to meet present
standards Of the teaching pro-
fession.
The only ray of hope held
out by the national commits
sion in its report lies in its
recommendation t h a t all
boards of education and state
legislatures provide immed-
lately for increased payments
to the employees of education
al systems.
Increased payments have al
ready been granted in some
sections Of the United States.
The Delaware State Educa-
ton Association has already
drafted an emergency plan,
endorsed by all member of the
state, the three county, and
the city associations, to pro-
vide against the deterioration
of teaching standards in Della
ware.

Governor Bacon and Lieuten-
ant Governor McCollum on

partment declared itself un-
able to cope with the emerg-
ency at that time because of

In Farce Presented
At Cross Roads

Included In the repertoire. 1t
seems, of any drama group. there
appears seasonally at least one play
that offers little or no tangible
excuse for its existence, but as
though through sheer determine
ton presents itself year after year.
Just such a gem is the bedroom
farce, Separate Rooms" which
opened last night at the Gross Roads
barn.
Perhaps the presence of the COM
edy may be traced to the dominant
character of the cinema's Alan
Dinehart, who co-wrote and di-
rected. and, for three years, played
the role of Jim Stackhouse, a syn
dicated columnist firmly stepped in
cynicism and distrust of the female
animal.
The plot of Separate Rooms"
concerns itself with the marriage
of Pamela Barry. faithlessly am
bilious actress, to Jim Stackhouse's
young playwright brother, Don, and
Jim's consequent attempt to coerce
Pam into furnishing happy home
for love-stricken Don with the
threat of running her career through
his column. Also included in the
farce is a sort Of unspoken love
between James and assistant Linda
Roberts, who digs dirt for the
column. The whole thing. however,
which moves solely through the me-
MUM Of witty, sarcastic dialogue,
ends happily enough after every one
pulls the wool over every one elses
eyes.
AS glamorous Pamela, the cast
was brightly led by Izetta Jewel, jr.,
all too seldom visitor at the barn,
and with Reginald Allen of the
radio, in the Dinehart role. In one
of the better supporting roles, Wayne
Locklin, as the butler, Taggart,
whose principal duty, and pleasure,
consisted of tending bar. proved to
be the shows scene stealer.
Among other members of the cast
are included: Warner Schreiner, as
the younger Stackhouse; Marion
Sitter, as Linda; Alan Blaine, as a
wealthy playboy in love with
Pamela: Madeline Raven, as
women's magazine feature writer,
and Louis Lautz. as Scoop Davis,
publicity agent who occasionally
wanders in and out of the comedy's
one-roOm setting. G. D. B.
