There are complaints that many per-

moval of the overcoat, and fit of the
shivers.
To avoid these results several courses
are open. Firstly, one might advan-
tageously rely for protection from the
cold on warm wooden undertaking. If
one is young and robust it is not nee
lessary to wear an Overcoat at all Then
1.-THE evaporation of moisture will go on
gradually, and there will be no chill.
Another plan is to wear one heavy
walking coat and change it for a
Tighter coat indoors. This is an ideal
arrangement from a hygienic point of
view But if the day is exceptionally
cold a light and porous Overcoat may
be safely worn.

After a rather extended delay Cap
tain George Black has been appointed
chief of police. The Evening Journal
was Of the opinion that the good of the
service required the appointment of a
person not previously connected with
the force. We did not believe that Cap
tain Black should have been elevtted
to the position Of chief Yet It has
been made, and so long as the new Of
icer performs his duties with an eye
single to the requirements of his Of
fee, he is entitled to the support of
both press and public II would be
churlish to refuse him this.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Build More Vaults

An observer who frequently visits
the Wilmington and Brandywine Gene
terry suggests that the rolling hillside
in the pretty buring ground furnishes
an ideal spot for family vaults. The
excavations could be made, brick arches
sprung. and plain or ornamental fronts
edected at a moderate cost. Caskets
placed in slate boxes will last for gen
.erations. and the system Of preserving
bodies in this way has its advantages
over the common modes of burial. Pos
sibly next summer may see number
of such vaults constructed.

Bertha Galland Coming,

Bertha Galland, who comes to the
Lyceum Friday evening in "Notre
Dame" had all amusing experience re-
Gently which is worth telling. 1t shows
that acting ability frequently mani
tests itself where least expected. She
had just returned from Il shopping ex-
pedition in New York (she was playing
in Brooklyn. and was removing her
wraps IN the hallway of her home.
There was a ring of the bel! and the
actress opened the door herself. There
stood Il woman whose rich coloring OF
complexion and dress pronounced her
newly-arrived from sunny Italy. Be-
side her stood a curly-headed lad,
whose face might have served for a
masters study of a cherub, although
it would first have required an appll-
cation of soap and water.
The woman began lengthy appeal
in italian, and the idea conveyed was
that she and the child had been in New
York only few days and We're sadly in
need OF food. With practical ideas as
to nutritious food, Miss Galland soon
had nice slice of buttered bread for
the boy, who up to the moment had not
spoken word; then with twinkle in
his eye and an unmistakable dialect
caught from his short association with
the Bowery, he piped, Say, Miss, can't
yer put some sugar on it?"

winter INSECT REMEDIES
Really the Very Best Time to Get
After the Scales and Eggs Of
the Little Pests.
y Prof. Surface, OF State College.

By Prof. Surface, OF State College.
Winter time measures against in-
sects may at first appear to be un-
usual, but it must be remembered that
it is then that the pests are unable to
escape, if found, and also at that time
vegetation is in it's winter condition
and consequently more resistant to the
effects Of unusually strong insecticides
which must then be applied in order to
be most effective. 1t is necessary to
kill the insects without injuring the
vegetation they infest. Certain plants.
such as the peach, are so delicate that
during the growing season they are in
jured by almost any kind Of applica-
ton that would be severe enough to
kill certain kinds Of the insect pests,
such as the scales. During the winter
time, when the leaves are off, the
plants are much more resistant than
the even the scale insects, and more
effective remedies can consequently be
applied at this time. Also. it is now
that we can reach the eggs and chry-
salids Of certain kinds of insects that
could not readily be destroyed at other
times. For example, the immature of
the Goblin moth are now under the
loose scales of bark around the trunks
of the fruit trees, and the eggs of the
apple aphis or plant iouse are to be
found by the millions on the twigs of
almost every apple tree. At this time
of year we can safely use a spray of
kerosene and water, of any desired
strength. or even pure kerosene. One
OF the best remedies for scale insects
and plant louise eggs is to spray on a
calm winter day with pure kerosene,
covering the tree with q very fine film,
but not letting it run in streams, then
setting fire to it. 1t is said to burn
just enough to kill all scales and eggs
and not injure the tree. Another first
class remedy for these pests is to wash
or spray the trees we'll with a strong
suds of caustic whale oil soap, two
pounds of soap to one gallon Of water.
This will kill scales OH rose bushes
and elsewhere, but it must be thor
oughly applied, and used when there is
no foliage.
At this time of the year scrape the
trunks of trees and burn the scrapings,
thus destroying the larvae of Goblin
moths. On a day when the fallen
leaves are dry rake them UP and burn
them, thus killing dozens of different
kinds of alternating insects; but be
sure first to save the toads that may
be alternating there and put them in
safe place. for the remainder of the
winter, for these animals are very USE
ful about the premises. 1t is quite inn
portant to burn the last vestige of every
plant that remains in the garden and
truck patch, for the insects that will
infest nezt years crop are now lurking
IN the old cabbage stalks and leaves,
the remains of the potato, melon, and
squash vines, and under any and all
debris In which they can find CONCEAL
ment. Board piles, Brush heaps, and
corners Of rail fences are favorlte places
for alternating insects. Clean up now
and save next years crops.

All those who have been selling cook
books and the five Junior League girls,
Rena Spencer, Sarah Tresler, Grace
Connell, Josephine Greaves and Leta
