and operation of the plant has been
maintained during this process.
The service or maintenance unit
forms an 81" shaped perimeter
about the boiler house, thereby
screening from the campus the var
ious activities of the maintenance
departments. Housed in this struc-
ture are an Office for the superin-
intendent of grounds and buildings,
storerooms, shops for painters, car
penters, plumbers, and electricians,
as well as garages, repair shops,
and covered storage space for
grounds equipment. This unit is
also of colonial architecture and
fire-proof construction.
The power house-maintenance
center unit is being put into use at
once, and the new mems dormitory
will be available for occupancy
when the University begins to op-
crate on its accelerated three-year
program next September 1.
Alumni and othr visitors to the

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

With so many physicians and
dentists being called into service,
the folks of Delaware owe a duty
to themselves and to the overburd-
ened doctors left behind to take
care of US. That duty is to keep
we'll.
All of the rules of hygiene and
good health should be carefully fol
lowed. Eating the right kind of
food is one of the most important
of these rules.
A person who has been we'll fed
will be better able to resist infec-
tions such as colds, and if he does
have such an infection, he can over
come it more quickly.
Workers who have good we'll bal
anced meals are better able to
work the necessary long hours on
the farm and in industry. Morale
of workers, like that of soldiers, is
strengthened by good food and
good health.
Children who get good food will
have a better foundation for health
throughout life straight bones,
better teeth, stronger muscles.
The housewife who buys the
food cooks the meal and serves it
to her family thus has a big re-
sponsibility for keeping all that
family we'll
Newspapers are full of recipes
and timely suggestions for good
meals in spite of shortages. WDEL
has marketing broadcast every
Saturday morning at $50 a. M,
Red Cross nutrition classes are be-
ing given throughout Delaware so
that women can learn the relation
of food to health. Health workers
are talking more and more about
foods for good health.
S it would seem that it is all be-
ing made very easy for every wo-
man to know what to feed her fam
lily to help them keep well.

AZ: IL. Why art thou cast down, o
my soul? and why art thou dis
quoted within me? hope thou in
God: for shall yet praise him, who
is the health of my countenance,
and my God. A bible citation from
the lesson-sermon: Ephesians 4 A.
6. There is one body, and one
Spirit, even as we are called in one
hope of oyur calling; 5. One Lord,
one faith, one baptism, 6. One God
and Father of all, who is above all,
and through all, and in you all.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Ed
dy: AS Astronomy reverses the hui
man perception of the movement Of
the solar system, SO Christian Sci
enece reverses the seeming relation
of Soul and body and makes body
tributary to Mind. Thus it is with
man, who is but the humble serv-
ant of the restful Mind though it
seems otherwise to finitee sense.
But we shall never understand this
while we admit that soul is in body
or mind in matter, and that man is
included in non-intelligence. Soul,
or Spirit, is God, Interchangeable and
eternal; and man coexists with and
reflects Soul, God, for man is Gods
image.

Belmont Park Sample

When it was established that
Belmont Parks sample was the
best for the purpose, and the one
that was to be initiated. further
problem was presented in that a
sand ingredient was present at Bel
mont which could not be duplicated
in Delaware. Belmont Parks strip
was brought to its highest state of
perfection in 1871 by Superintend-
ent Cornelius ]. Boyle who had law
ished unusual care upon it. The re-
suit was new track records over
the Belmont strip even though
many of those marks had stood for
years. Belmont also dries quickly,
and is safe and comfortable for
horses.
MOulder's Sand Added
The solution for Delaware Park
was found when mouldner's sand
was introduced as an ingredient.
This is sand that has been heated
and burned in steel mill moulding
operations under intense heat 1t
leaves the sand a residue which,
when mixed with clay, forms an
earth which is extremely soft to
the feet of the horses, but which is
porous enough to drain the water
off quickly In addition it will not
powder" nor splash" away when
extremely dry, as in a prolonged
drought. In other words it possess
es consistency" and thus retains
the cushion. Tons of peat moss
also were introduced as a leavening
agent.
A further sidelight is the mud
pies" which were made by William
DUPONT, Jr. in order to deal with
the baking" which frequently de-
velops when a hot sun strikes a
track for hours after a heavy rain
had soaked it. The various mud
pies were placed in a row, allowed
to dry fully, and then Mr.. dupont
with the soil experts and agronom-
lists tapped each one with a pencil.
The mudpie which broke correctly,
and fell into particles which would
be best for the horses feet, was
decided upon as standard.
10000 Cubic Yards of Soil
In all 10000 cubic yards of soil,
were hand-screened by a crew of
scores of men. The hand-screen-
ing was decided upon, despite the
much longer time necessary, for
the double purpose of having the
job better done, and so that large
and heavy tractor wheels would
not at any time be on the strip to
make paths" or packed down
areas which might form hard spots
in the track. Mr.. Pardee has been
Mr.. duPont's aide in the recon-
struction of most Of the country's
steeplechase courses, notably Bel
mont Park and Saratoga, in addi-
ton to the two jumping courses at
Delaware Park, as we'll as private
steepleehase courses.

Surveys Made

These were turned over to the
University of Delaware where an
agronomist, DR.. Henry G. Harris,
made an exhaustive analysis. An
agronomist is one who studies the
texture and content of soils, wheth-
er for agricultural or other purpos-
es. 1t was found that Belmont
Parks sample fitted best the aim
desired. DR.. Harris struck a para
dox in Analysing the Delaware
Park soil in that it seemed to have
a large content Of Chester County
clay, whereas the course lies in
New Castle County, far from Ches-
ter County.
The apparent mystery was ex-
planned when it was found that
Brandywine creek, which gives its
name to the Brandywine Stable
had, through the centuries, washed
down enough Chester County clay
to make that large component of
the earth that was used in 1886
when the strip was laid down.

RACING PARK
GETS NEW TURF
10000 Tons of Top Soil Re-
miXeXd to Make Racing
Strip Surface
SURVEYS, TESTS MADE

Delaware Park has moved
screened, re-mixed, and replaced
the 10000 tons of toposil which
forms the custom of the racing strip
so that the surface which greets
horsemen on the opening May 29th
will be equal to anything in this
country. c. M. Pardee, the engin-
eer in charge of the task which
took three months during the past
winter and spring, is authority for
the statement that a muddy track
at 10 a. m. in the morning will be
fast track at p. m. in the after
noon, and in this assertion he is
supported by agronomists and sci
entists from the University of Del
aware who assisted in the project.
Among Safest Tracks
The racing strip at Delaware
Park long has been known as one
of the safest in the country, for it
was laid down in 1886, a year be-
fore the track opened, so that it
might have a chance to settle prior
to the Inauguration in the Summer
of 1887. But it always presented
bit of a problem, in that it took
some time to dry out after heavy
rains. Now this difficulty seems to
have been eliminated entirely.
AS preliminary foundation the
modern drainage system installed
seven years ago was brought up to
the minute with new valves, and
culverts. But the basic problem
was the texture of the soil, which
appeared to hold the water longer
than was desired. Samples were
taken from Belmont Park, Santa
Anita, Havre de Grace, Saratoga
and William du Points private mile
course at BellYue.
