Scientific Research Shows
Good Breakfast Important

For a number of years nutrition
authorities have told US, ''eat a
good breakfast" Now comes scien-
tific proof that you'll do better if
you eat a good breakfast every
day.
In an interesting research study
conducted at the medical school of
distinguished state university 1t
was shown that important and prac-
tical benefits result from the habit
of eating good breakfast. The
demonstrable benefits included in
creased maximum work output, bet
ter maintained mental alertness,
and lessened muscular fatigue,
during the critical prenoon hour.
Under controlled conditions
group Of young women from % to
27 years of age were given an
800 calorie breakfast daily over
period of several weeks. When ac-
customed to this breakfast, they
were checked for maximum work
output; for mental alertness, as
demonstrated by reaction time,"
the time required to make decisions
and act on them; and finally for
the magnitude of neuromuscular
tremor, the involuntary trembling
a muscle shows after work perform
ance, which scientists use to meas
ure muscular fatigue.
Then the subjects successfully
were checked for the same criteria
after several weeks without amy
breakfast, after several weeks with
only cup of coffee with cream but
no sugar, and finally after becom-
ing accustomed to a 400 calorie
breakfast every morning.

TO REMODEL DOVER STORE
Sears New Building VIII Tripls
Present Sales Space

Construction work on the re-
building and remodeling of the
Dover store of Sears, Roebuck and
Company got underway this week
when demolition of buildings at the
rear of the store was started. When
completed the store will have two
floors and a basement extending
from Loockerman to North Street,
all devoted to retail selling, stated
John ]. Koski, Manager of the Dow
er store. To accomplish this, the
area at the rear of the present
store will be excavated to a depth
of fourteen feet. This will provide
for the extension of the present
basement. Then the present street
level sales room will be extended
back to North Street over the part
being excavated for the addition
to the basement and finally an ad-
ditional floor, or second floor, will
be placed over the present struc-
ture and continued back over the
newly built section. These addi-
tions will more than triple the
sales space of the present store and
will provide for the addition of
large number of lines not now rep
resented in the store, as well as fol
the enlargement of the present de-
parments. A new building to house
the auto service section of the bus
mess has been erected on the south
side of North Street and is now in
service. The building formerly
housing this service department, as
well as another building formerly
used for a warehouse, are the
structures now being demolished
The remodeling of this building
will result in Sears having perhaps
the largest retail sales building in
the state, south of Wilmington
! Under the plans prepared for the
construction work, Mr.. Koski said
that there will be no interruption
to business in the present Sears
store at any time during the period
of the work.

National School Commission Picks
Dupont Executive AS Staff Director

New York, N. Y.-Henry Toy Jr.,
35, Du Pont Company Executive and
founder of the Council for Delaware
Education, has been appointed
Executive Director of the new Ma
tional Citizens Commission for the
Public Schools, Roy e. Larsen,
president of Time Inc. and chair
man of the Commission, announced
recently.
"As a businessman who realizes
the vital Importance of the public
as to the nation, MIR. Toy has been
largely responsible for the dramatic
success of the Council for Della
ware Education in helping citizens
to improve the public schools in
communities throughout Delaware"
MIR. Larsen said.
"In his capacity as Executive
Director of our Commission he will
be able to give all his time and the
full benefit of his experience to
implementing the program outlined
by our members. According to part
of this program the Commission
will act as a clearing house of in
formation to enable one group of
citizens endeavoring to improve
their local public schools to profit
from the experience of others. Mr..
Toy will also assist, us in carrying
out many other projects which we
are planning to help encourage the
broad public interest in the public
schools which we believe is neces-
sary to solve the many extremely
serious problems which confront
the schools today"
The National Citizens Commits
sion for the Public Schools is CON-
posed exclusively of laymen, many
of them outstanding in business,
labor, law and publishing. 1t was
formed last May to work for con-
certed action by citizens in their
own communities. The group has
received initial financial support
from the Carnegie Corporation and
the General Education Board. Its
officers are, besides Mr.. Larsen:
James F. Brownlee, former deputy
director of the OPA, vice-chair-
man; John A. Stevenson, president

of the National CLIO Community
Services Committee, secretary.
The Council for Delaware Educa.
tion, which Mr., Toy headed for two
and half years after founding it
in November of 1916, is dramatic
illustration of what a group of de.
termined citizens can do for their
schools. 1t has been instrumental
in achieving many far-reaching
school improvements in Della
ware. These include increases in
teachers salaries, appropriations
for the construction of new school
buildings, widespread legislative
changes for the benefit of the
schools, and an upsurge In public
interest in the schools which has
been reflected in greatly in,
creased number Of voters turning
