striking out the words five hundred in
the third line of Section 8, of said act
and inserting lieu thereof the words

Experience has taught, First, That

human Anthrax have been caused in
Delaware by such work in the ground

lurk for many years. Cremate the car
cass if possible ON the spot where the
animal died.
Second,-Burial if practiced should
not be near the streams or water courses
and owners of properties watered by
runs which flow to them through an in
fected field should see that this caution is
needed
Third, ,-Unvaccinated animals should
not be driven from an infected farm.
Failure to obey this rule is the direct
cause of two outbreaks this year.
Fourth, Veterinarians or farmers who
seek diagnosis under Sec. 1, Chap. 451,
Vol. 20, Laws of Delaware, will do we'll

Natural Lee for rruit Cars

The Armour Refrigerator Car Company
is building large cold storage house at
Clayton, from which fruit cars are to be
iced while trains take water at Clayton
in passing up the Delaware Railroad
The capacity of the plant will be 1900
tons, and cars iced at that point will use
1000 tons of ice in six weeks. Much
natural ice will also be used, as it is said
to be more valuable toward the preserya-
ton of fruit by being less compact.

Ccrbett was looked upon as a great
younSster by his parents. and nothing
was too good for him. He was the idol
of the family. and although very fond
of boxing, his father at first refused to
permit him to engage in public contests.
Finally, he got the consent Of his folks
to appear in an amateur contest and he
made such a clever showing that his
friends persuaded him to join tie ranks

The American league will submit con-

system of contracts. of three, four and
hNe vears-no player to be bound for a
IHriod longer than five years. At the
end of that time, he will be free to ac-

The plan does away with the farm

Capt. Charles ID. Sigsbee, chief of

A noteworthy statement is that the

laid down in 1905 are completed, in
stead of in 1916, as formerly pro-
posed. Vessels laid down after 1905
will be either for foreign service or
the nonactive fleet.
The subject of wireless telegraphy,
as bearing on naval progress, is treat
ed at length, and it is stated that
great progress has been made with
this new means of communication
abroad during the past year, particu-
larly in increasing the distances over
which messages can be sent and in
providing means to guard against
confusion where messages cross one

CLOCK RULES LIGHTS.
Inventive Chicago Man Hits Upon
Simple Device to Save His show
Window Gns Bill.

A little invention which will be of es-
pecial use to early risers now that the
short winter days are coming has,
been made by G. II. Congard, 1928 Ev-
anston avenue, Chicago. 1t is de-
vice whereby the gas can be turned
on or off automatically at any desired
hour.
An ordinary alarm clock. is made to
do the work. oA-s4rinEy eb anksseG-~ith
the bypass of the gas jet, is attached
to the alarm winder. The clock is set
for the desired hour and when the
alarm rings the turning stem winds up
the string and turns the gas up or
down, as the occasion may demand,
Now, when a person desires to get up
at six o'clock in the morning, he sets
the alarm and attaches the string
When the hour arrives the clock rings
and the gas is turned up, doing away
with what was once the unpleasant
duty of getting up and hunting for a
match or tumbling over the furni-
ture in search of the gas jet.
Mr. Congard stumbled upon the
scheme after much thinking. He de-
sired to keep his window display lit
up until late in the evening, but, being
hard-working man, he was wont to
retire early. How to get the gas
turned off at the proper time was a
problem that worried him for many
months. Finally he hit upon the alarm
