host TO the Sussex County Student
Council Association. Students, tea
chers and principals from eleven
schools were represented-Lewes,
Rehoboth, Millsbor0, Seaford, Lau-

Plans and arrangements for the
meeting were drawn up by Miss Es-
ther Weakley, faculty sponsor, and
officers Of the Milton Council: Geo.
Chaloupka, president; Dorothy Da-
wilson, secretary treasurer, and
Barbara Dickerson, vice president.
A business meeting was held in
Miss Weakley's room. Robert King,
senior student from Delmar
School presided over this meeting.
Two main topics were discussed: (:
the student councils part in plan
ming high school assembly pro-
grams, and how the eleven schools
in the county can better work to-
gether in planning athletic events
and work out a program for ad-
hitting students from visiting
schools.
Students not attending the busi-
ness meeting spent an enjoyable
evening playing ping pong, cards
and dancing. At the conclusion of
the business meeting, refreshments
were served to the group. Sixty
two persons were present, including
the Milton representatives.

Although Milton High Schools
football team went down to a 1926
defeat, the local boys had the dis
tinction of scoring on the Delmar
team for the first time this season.
In previous games Delmar beat
Seaford so, and Bridgeville 1910.
Allen Murray, an end on the Milton
team, broke into the clear by going
around right end and ran forty-five
yards for the touchdown. On two
other occasions the Milton team
came close to pay dirt, but lacked
sufficient punch to put across an
other score. Coaches Chambers and
Smith stated that they were well
pleased with the spirit and drive
of the team, but that many little
situations will need ironing out.
An enthusiastic group of specta-
tors accompanied the new football
team to Delmar. If the first game
is any sort of an indication, Milton
should become as much interested
in football as it has in baseball.
Come out and root for the home
team!

The previous tally showed the
Nationalist had 70 and its allied
opposition 83 seats. Earlier yes

On the total vote, however, the
opposition had a lead and on that
basis was claiming a moral vic

disappointment at the results.
The NationaliSts retained Mar
Shal Smuts' old constituency,

LOS ANGELES.-A Univer-
sity of California professor is

zle, the biological clock" that
mysterious process by which
many animals seemingly are
able to tell time.
DR.. Theodore jain, zoology
professor at the university at Los
Angeles, has set up a laboratory
to find out more about this non
mechanical timepiece which has
puzzled scientists for many
years.
For example, the eyes Of a
crayfish glow at night. When it
is placed in a dark room for a
period, the eyes will not glow
during the day but will light up
about the same time every night.
The unique timepiece Of the
crayfish sometimes runs for
three months under such con-
ditions and functions without
"rewinding."
The doctor has studied this
phenomenon among insects
through means of electroretino-
grams, which are records of

Average American Level
OF Living Seen Rising

WASHINGTON The Presidents
council of economic advisers thinks
the average Americans level of
living should rise 81 per cent by
1858.
The council believes that he
should be able to buy more and
better goods and services, to save
more money and have more leisure
time-all making him 81 per cent
better off.
The council doesn't think this
will materialize by 1858 if there
is a depression before then-there
would have to be a gradual, steady
increase in production with no Sc
rious setbacks.
But it can be achieved, the coun-
Gil says, if government and bust
ness continually make a variety of
delicate and complex economic ad-
justments and don't miss any
guesses on what adjustments to
make.
This is all part of the theory of
a dynamic, ever-growing economy
that became part of the law of the
land in the Employment Act of
1916. This theory holds that the
causes of depressions can be de-
tected and eliminated so that as
fast as the labor force grows more
jobs can be provided.

PALM SPRINGS. CALIF.-This
world-famous playground Of the
movie stars is becoming-like
Hollywood-just a dateline.
Palm Springs is going CONNER
cial and celebrities are fleeing out
into the desert, far beyond tour
lists eyes.
The three newest luxury resorts
($25 to $35 a day. are all more
than five miles from town.
There was a time when movie
people were as thick on the streets
as the gnats which are Palm
Springs plague. That was when
businessmen here regarded tourists
as a low form Of animal life.
In those days, during the val
and for a while thereafter, hotels
refused overnight guests. There
were only a handful of places where
the casual tourist could get a meal.
Hotel and club restaurants were for
guests or members only.
It's different now, especially
since the recent economy wave in
Hollywood. The tourist is well
coined. Collectively, he's got more
dollars than the movie crowd.
But if he thinks he's going to get
a glimpse of a movie star along
with it, he's likely to be disap-
pointed. Those who have their
own places here, such as Bob Hope,
Eddie Cantor or Frank 'Sinatra.
