Just what "Uppie" Sinclair will do
to make good his threat to cause the
arrest Of persons who play golf and
tennis at the Wilmington Country
Club on Sunday is now an interest
ing subject for speculation. Sinclair
last night said the society Of ex-pris-
oners of Arden had not held a meeting
as yet to map out it's plan of pro-
cedure for general enforcement of the
so-called blue laws" against gaming,
playing and sales on Sunday, but the
Ardenites are discussing among them
selves a method of getting evidence TO
warrant arrests.
One plan talked Of is to have Ar
denites act as sleuths and accompan-
led by photographers to take points
of vantage outside the Country Club
grounds on Sunday and get snap
shots of persons playing golf and
then have John Doe" warrants is
sued before Magistrate Robertson for
the persons whose names are un-
known.
State Pays the Bills.
"John Doe" is one Of the names re-
sorted to in law when the real name
of the accused person is not known but
when that person may be identified.
This method may be followed by the
Ardenites, as they learned today that
the procedure would be regular under
the law. Sinclair is comforting with
w. w. Knowles, lawyer. about the
matter.
AS the Country Club is a private
enclosure none Of the Ardenites could
obtain entrance without becoming a
trespasser. Part of the grounds is
within the city limits but most of it
is outside the city.

Colora Warm and Cnid.

One clear, cold winters day Benja-
min Franklin spread u number Of
handkerchiefs carefully on level
stretch of snow. One of the handker-
chiefs was black, another white and
the others of various colors. Some
time afterward he returned and re-
moved the hankerchiefs carefully one
by one, measuring the depth of snow
under each. Under the black handker-
chief he found that the snow had melt
ed considerably; under red handker-
chief. almost as much; under blue
handkerchief, very little, and under the
white one scarcely any. BY this simple
experiment he learned that color has
great deal to do with the warmth Of
clothing. White sheds the suns heat
almost as well as an oilskin sheds
water; blue is nearly as heat proof;
green Is less so; yellow is a warm color,
red a still warmer color. while black
soaks up almost all the suns heat that
strikes 1t. Make the experiment some
time and you will see why black
clothes are out OF place In the summer
time and white ducks in winter

China's FLOATING Islands.

found floating islands, which are enor-
nous RATS of bamboo overlaid with
earth and bearing on the surface Of
the water pretty houses and gardens.
They are. In fact, aquatic farms, bear
ing crops of rice and vegetables. The
rich bottom mud, utilized as an artiti-
cial soil. is extremely fertile and Yields
bountiful haryests, though on a small
scale. In country where there is
lack of available land the floating
plantations are most serviceable. large
sails being attached to the dwelling
house as well as to each corner of the
island whenever it is desired to move
about. After gathering crop of
grain or garden produce from his farm
the floating farmer casts his nets into
the water and from their depths brings
up a supply of fish for his family.

When You Break Cut Glass.

on the premises. A case is told of

room arrived In time to see, but not
prevent. her maid from pulling instead
of pushing the extension table, and as
it separated In the middle several
pieces of valuable cut glass which had
been placed there during the cleaning

The Thunderer's Loooorsphs.

Some of the most serious riots re-
corded In the printing trades occurred
In 1914, when the London Times was
first printed by steam, and a number
of workmen discharged through this
innovation sought to wreck the office
in Printing House square. Long be-
fore this the Times had been printed
ographically-thati is to say, the pro-
prietor conceived the happy idea Of
having words cast entire to save the
compositors the trouble of collecting
type. The logographs most In demand
were; Dreadful, robbery, atrocious out
rage, fearful calamity. alarming ex-
plosion, loud cheers, interesting fe-
male. One hundredweight OF each of
these was always kept in stock. In
teresting females no longer figure in
newspaper reports, but otherwise the
cliches of journalism seem to have al
tered but little.-London Chronicle.
