The steamer Caroline, which is
fishing for the MispilliOn Fish and
Oil Company of Milford, Del. came
to the factory at the mouth of the
MispilliOn River on Wednesday af-
ternOOn with 100000 fish, which is
equal to 1000 barrels. They are
the menhadin, and in a very fat
condition, which insures a large
yield Of oil. The steamer reported
that her crew was very nearly out
of service because of the influenza.
and asked that additional seamen
be sent aboard at once, and that
accommodations for the sick crew
be furnished as quickly as possible.
Here is another instance where the

While working around a gaso-
line engine and shafting at Mrs.
Arthur Rudells farm last Satur-
day, Frank MalOney had a narrow
escape from serious injury when
his clothing was caught in the
shafting. MalOney was alone at
the time and while attempting to
put a belt on the pulley his cloth
ing was caught. Before he could
free himself he was thrown around
the shaft. His cries for help
brought quick assistance, but not
before almost all of his clothing
had been torn from his body. He re-
ceived a number of cuts and bruises
none of which were serious.

Don't Go Rushing
After Someone Who
Has said 'GOOdby'

90 Dear Nancy: Nothing
had seemed to be wrong be-
tween my girl and me, but one
day she suddenly decided that
she cared for someone else and
after a quarrel about it, we
broke up. She began dating
him, and | went out with quite
a few girls, but / couldn't set
her out of my mind now l
realize that snes the only one
who matters to me. Now I've
heard that she and the other
fellow aren't getting along
we'll What do you think
should do?
(A) You could rush right to
a telephone anG call her, but
you'd be putting yourself in a
pretty obvious position. If she
thinks she can get you back by
swapping her fingers. you won t
be able to call your time your
own if You so back to her 1t
might be that the fact of her
breaking up with you so sudden
ly and without any warning has
made you care for her more than
YOU actually do. Some time in
the near future, call her casual
ly and ask her out again, but
don't let her suspect how you
feel. Then you'll Il be able to tell
how much she really means to
YOU and if You want to begin
seeing her regularly again.
90 Dear Nancy: The boy
with whom I keep company
has definitely begun to cool
towards me, and though l
know why, I'm at a loss to
know what to do. His buddy
and I recently had a furious
fight and since then, he and
l have ignored each other
completely. suspect that
when they're together his
friend tries to change his mind
about me, and l guess he's
succeeding. I'd like your advice
on this. How can l prevent a
breakup"

Several days ago The Daily
Herald ran story about the
new modern architecture of ell
ementary schools. Among other
features, the school is built cir
cular so as to have an outdoor
court for classes. One room has
a fire place, to create the home
atmosphere.
Mrs. Drexel Donaldson of 2907
Franklin Street, Wilmington,
Delaware writes, saying she is
mighty busy getting her son
Bobby, entered in the first Grade
of such a system. Both she and
Mr.. Donaldson, along with many
other parents, have had to join

with the child.

his own bed at school, along
with the necessary sheets and

The Perfect
to Relax
BY HELEN FOLLETT

TEN minutes of Tubing every
morning is of cosmetic value. The
smart woman knows that this is a
health measure and a pleasure. So
luxurious, so lazy, so indolent one
feels! The perfect form Of relaxa-
ton! Let the telephone clang. You
can't answer. You are apart and
away from your own little world,
and that's grand. Lie in the warm
water, relax, let your soul be at
peace.
Before starting in on steaming
and resting, battle your face, dry
thoroughly, and apply light
cream. The warm air, combined
with the fragrant lubricant, will
dig out any bits of atmospheric dust
that may have lodged in the pores
of your sacred complexion. Soften
the bath water. You will find vari.
GUS preparations compounded for
this purpose-tablets, bath salts,
lotions. Provide yourself with first
class bath brush. Don't economic
on this item. Poor brushes aren't
worth carrying home.
Bath Oils
There are endless additions to
the bath routine that are fun. Oils
for the entire body, which, fric-
toned and massaged into the skin,
furnish recompense for the natural
oils that have disappeared. The
woman who suffers from an itching
skin surface after the bath should
not fail to use one of these delight
full toiletries.
If the skin is not dry, one can
use a tonic lotion, a sort Of rela-
tive to eau de cologne that whisks
away goosie flesh, if it happens to
be present, and leaves refreshing
aroma.

mgs will need to rub a cream into

MEN not infrequently develop an
infection Of the skin Of the face
known as sycosis barbae or "bar-
ber's ITCH" Caused by Staphylo-
coccus germs, the eruption in syco-
sis barbse is confined to the skin
around the hair roots.
The rash is first made up of bis
tiers which later become filled with
thick material and break open to
form scabs or crusts. There may be
some itching or burning. The dis
order is chronic or long continued
one and in the past has been difficult
to heal. Many Of the patients hav-
ing this disorder have been afflicted
for from ten to twenty years.
Germs Are Present
1t has been suggested that the
infection does not start with the
skin, but that the germs are first
present in some part Of the breath
ing passages, particularly in the
nose, and that the skin infection
comes from this focus. Sometimes
the infection may be present in the
ears or eyes. Hence, in treating
the skin condition, an effort should
be made to locate its source else
where.
A number of patients with sycosis
barbae were treated with penicillin
ointment. The patients were i'm
structed not only to use the oint-
ment on the face, but also to put

Year-Round Favorite
Barbados is another one of the
West Indies islands that is becom-
ing a year-round favorite. And no
wonder, what with the trade winds
making for pleasing weather, and
fine shops bright with posh English
goods, of type that the British
haven't been able to secure for

be they of the winter or the sum
mer variety, want to drop anchor.
Maybe the Calypso singers have

maybe the service personnel that
were stationed there during the war
have sung its praises, but anyway,
Trinidad with all the doings at
Port Of Spain has become a mighty
potent tourist attraction.

ing, or oftener if desired. Each time
the face was treated, the patient
put some Of the cream into the nose
and inhaled deeply.
1t was found that with this treat
ment, rapid Improvement Of the
skin disorder occurred. However,
treatment was continued in all eases
until the nose was clear Of the ste
phylococcus germs. In one patient
who had had the disorder for fifteen
years, there was 4 marked improve
ment of the texture Of the skin
when the infection was overcome.
Another patient was able to shave
properly for the first time in fifteen
years.
Infection Of Eyelids ..
In some cases, there is .ofteA IN
infection Of the eyelids known -
blepharitis which, occurs with the
.ycosis barbae. When this eondi-
ton was treated with penicillin sint-
ment, the eyelashes grew in and
remained in. In blepharitis, the eye
lashes always fall out. '''
No reactions were observed from
the penicillin ointment. However, in
some instances, an Inflammation Of
the skin, due to sensitivity to the
penicillin, may develop. In such
cases, of course, treatment with the
penicillin must be discontinued.
1t would appear that treatment
with the penicillin is well worth
trying in this stubborn disorder.
