LIGHTNING HIT AUTO
Lyn Thomas Had an Unpleasant Ex-
perience on Turnpike.

While driving his automobile
along the turnpike, near Holly Oak,
on Monday in the storm, returning
from Philadelphia, Lyn Thomas, the
well-known Wilmington Jeweler,
had an experience with lightning
that he would not care to have re-
peated. Mr.. Thomas was running
the machine through the downpour
of rain when suddenly he saw a
shaft of lightning descend and strike
the roadbed alongside the car. Then
it appeared to chase itself around the
steel rim of tn right forward wheel
and disappear. Mr.. Thomas was
preparing to jump when it faded
from view, and it is supposed that
the rubber tire acted as insulator,
preventing it from leaping to the
other parts of the machine. Going
into a farm yard nearby a man told
Mr.. Thomas he had seen the bolt anc
was wondering what had attracted 1T.
The car was not damaged and Mr.
Thomas later returned to Whining

Office of the secretary of the New
Castle County Fair has begun to
show signs of unwonted activity in
the summer campaign. Already the
merchants midway has had reserva-
tion enough and by merchants who
make attractive displays to assure
fair patrons of one very interesting
form of amusement. The farm ma
chinery section will be larger than
ever before. All the exhib tors of
last year have obtained space and
new ones are applying for good res
ervations. This is one of the most
instructive features of the country
fair and the growth of this depart
ment is very gratifying to manage
Inent.
Free attractions in front of the
grand stand have been secured
through a progressive New York
book agency. The Omi-Oglethorpe
Company do some very fascinating
ball-rolling and balancing. These
two attractive women wilt give two
performances each day in the infeld
and the fair management guarantees
a good, clean act, attractive in every
way 10 men, women and children.
The other act, the Marriott Twins,
a company of five people is one that
is new in every way to fair patrons.
They do some remarkable stunts in
| Juggling and pole balancing and
finally juggle with an automobile and
a carriage in which they have made
the entrance to the infeld platform.
These acts are both free to all visi-
tors and will surely prove very
great attraction.
The special premium list has
never been more geEerous than this
year and exhibitors will not only
have the oppoI tunity to compete fol
the general premiums but the specials
as well. These are all listed in the

New Method Is Given
For Removing Stains

II rust stains prove very obstinate,
here is a method Of which few know.
and yet which has a reputation for
infaIibility:
The stain should be held over a
basin Of warm water TO which am
monia has been added 4 piece os
wood should then be dipped IN a So
luton Of IS per cent Of hydrochIoriC
acid and applied 10 the spot As soon
IS the stain disappears the portion %
the material which has been treated
should be rlnsed in the basin Of am
monia and water so as 10 prevent
the acid from destroying the texture
Of the cloth
As hydrOChlOrIc acid has an infu-
rfus effect on some fabrics, however,
II IS always best TO test its action on
q corner Of the material before treat
ing the stain Keep all acids away
from fire and never pour water on
them.
