DDTWeapon
For Disease
By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.

49,
THE discovery of DOT provided
an extraordinarily powerful
weapon for helping to get rid of
certain types of insects. However,
a great deal must still be learned
before the full value of DOT in
controlling insects can be deter
mined.
The DOT acts on insects in two
ways. When swallowed by the
insect or when it comes in contact
with the insect it acts on the nerv-
Gus system to cause death. 1t must
be remembered that although DIT
can be handled safely it is, never
theless, a toxic Or poisonous
material.

thousands of children
onto the streets and Fairgrounds
for three months-the Delaware
Safety Council urges motorists to
be especially alert. It's an old
story to every one of us, but these
children-on bicycles, roller skates
playing in the streets-make the
job of safe driving even more diff
ficult through the vacation season.
More and more schools are drilling
safety into their pupils during the
school year, but we drivers still
have to do some thinking for these
younsters in connection with traf-
fic safety, by anticipating what
the children on the next street
corner MIGHT do just as we get
there, and by prodding ourselves
to keep doubly alert for children
everywhere. A ten year old boy

STATE IN TENTH PLACE

Delaware's public schools have
risen from thirty-third place to
tenth place in national ranking
since 1919 and city and state
teachers have experienced an aver
age salary increase from less than
$500 a year to S2,125 in that time,
DR.. H. v. Holloway, retiring state
superintendent of public instruc-
tion pointed out in review of ed
ucational progress in the state
during his service here. DIR. Hollo-
way, whose retirement is effective
June 80, has published these and
other observations on Delaware's
school system in letter to school
heads and teachers of the state
published in the Delaware School
Journal this month. Declaring
that the state appropriation for
current expenses of schools has in
creased from $618,OO0 to over five
and one-third millions since the
passage of the new school code in
1919, DR.. Holloway asserted that
the progress of the Delaware

DELAWARE SAFETY COUNCIL
URGES DRIVERS TO BE ALERT

His magic castle is often a busy
street-for the time being. He
comes and goes as youthful fancy
beckons. 1t is his own world and
in the excitement of play he loses
sight of all things material. Of
course, it is up to parents to do
everything within their power to
keep the children off the highways.
But we must not forget the fact
that we all lived in this happy-go-
lucky land of make-believe at
some time or other. There is a
sacred responsibility on the part
of all drivers to look out for all
children; to expect the unexpected
on their part; and to do their
thinking for them. The little folks
are entirely at the mercy of the
driver. Consequently the driver
must be continually on his guard.
Let's be ready to do our share to
help the kids have a happy vaca-
ton.
