several baskets. He is small mer-

The straw hats of which I speak
are of the "sombrero" type. They
have broad brims which protect the
Wearer from the sun. The name
"sombrero" came from the Spanish
language and means shade"
The best sombreros, however. are
made of felt, not straw. The felt
sombrero also had a broad brim,
and guards against the hot sun,
| but there is something else of i'm
portance about it. 1t offers Mexican
men a place for decorations!
Some fancy felt sombreros are as
| large around as automobile tires.
They come in bright colors such as
red and green, also in gray and
black. You also may buy a pure
white sombrero.
Many felt sombreros are trimmed
and banded with silver. These may
be sold for $40 or $50 apiece. They
are sign of wealth for those who
wear them, but are heavy on the
head
1t is the common custom of pure
blooded Indians in Mexico to 60
barefoot. The same is true of many
of the mestizos, who are partly of
Indian descent.
Although there are many bare
footed Mexicans, it would be mis-
take to suppose that the majority
OF the people visitor sees in cities
are withing foot covering In Mexi-
CO City, Guadalajara, Puebla and
several other cities, leather shoes are
common. A large number of those
who do not wear shoes have sandals.
A great deal of Mexico is in the
torrid zone, and from that fact We
might expect the climate to be hot.
1t is hot in the lowlands and along
the coasts, but not everywhere.
Mountains and highlands cut
through the country. and people who
live on them find the weather cool,
if not cold. That explains the
"serape'
The serape is a blanket which Is
worn in the colder parts of Mexico,
chiefly by Indians and mestizos.
1t is worn over the shoulders, and
gives something of the warmth OF
an overcoat.

Watch-Night Services
WEI Be Held Tonight
Age.Old Observance Is Faithfully
Observed by Many Churches

Churches in many localities in
Delaware will conduct Watch
Night" service tonight friday
The services usually start about 10
o'clock and last until the New
Year is ushered in.
Usually the minister delivers a
short address, followed by the sing
ing of many hymns by the choir
and congregation. Church MEM
bers tell of their experiences dur
ing the old year and new resolu-
tiOns that they have made. Cen
orally, prayers are given by mem
bers, and sometimes the meetings
are turned into an evengelistic SER
vice in order to get the young folks
to mend their ways before the old
year is gone"
At midnight. the church bells are
rung signifying that the New Year
has arrived. Two or three minutes
before the bells are tolled as a sig
nal that the old year rapidly is
drawing to a close. The meeting
then is closed with the benedic-
tiOn.
These services probably have
been in vogue in Delaware for more
than century. No one knows when
they were started. They may have
been held during the days of John
and Charles Wesley. Sussex folk.
some of whom are eighty-five. can
remember them eighty years ago
when they were tots and their par
ents would carry them to the SER
vices.
Forty-five years ago the churches
usually were filled with people old
and young. and all took part in the
service. Large crowds of young
men and women would go. 1t was
at these meetings that they would
meet their sweethearts and sit with
them for two hours. a long time
and late for young folk those days.
Although it was early morning
when the service concluded, par
ents would allow the boys and girls
to gather at their homes for an
other hour and celebrate the New
Year.

tuberculosis Fought
Throughout Delaware
Clinics Are Maintained At Several
Places Throughout The State

December marks the hundredth
anniversary of the birth month OF
Robert Koch whose gift to human
ity was the discovery and isolation
of the tubercle bacillus, the cause
of tuberculosis, and his contribu-
tions inaugurated a new era in
medical research and public health
practice. The experiments of Koch
proved that tuberculosis is not an
inherited disease but an infection
that spreads from man to man, and
that it can be controlled by iso-
lating known cases and by devel-
oping a population fortified against
the disease by sound health habits.
The State Board of Health is very
active in working for the control
of the disease which claimed 13S
lives in Delaware last year, and
maintains tuberculosis clinics at
Brandywine Sanitarium, MARSHALL
ton, in Wilmington, Dover, George
town, Laurel, Newark, Middletown
