Care Of Bathtub.

Kerosene becomes the agent for spot
lessness in porcelain tubs that have be-
come stained, says the Portland Express
and Advertiser.
Few housekeepers seems to know that
such tubs should never be cleansed with
any kind of gritty soap. 1t will re-
move the high polish eventually and the
tub win not be as white.
Common laundry soap is best, and il
any spot or line does not come off at
once with it few drops Of kerosene
put on dry cloth, rubbing the dis
coloration briskly, will restore its fresh
ness. The tub must be carefully rinsed,
OF course. with clear water.
A woman going into new house who
will have her bathtubs cared for in this
manner will be repaid by the many
years which they will appear as new.

BODY WANTS LORE
OF STATE School FUND

Before the members of the Board
of Education got down to real busi-
ness at their regular meeting last
night they listened to a musical en-
tertainment on the Telmusici phono-
graph, recently installed in the board
rooms by the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company. After
several selections had been played
one Of the members requested the air:
when Drexler Comes Home to Vote. ."
This remark caused much laughter.
The board last night took up the
subject relative to the request made
by the district schools that the State
purchase their text books. It appears
that the money for this purpose would
come out Of the general fund and in
consequence Wilmington's share OF
the fund would be much smaller. The
members did not approve of disposing
OF the fund in this manner, and Mr.
Baynard remarked that if the change
was to be made, Wilmington should
participate in It, the same as the dis.
trict schools.
Mr.. Guthrie reported that the State
fund now in the hands of tile board
was about exhausted. It was thought
advisable to have a larger fund ant
with this in view the matter was re-
! ferred to the finance committee and

BENEFIT ASSOCIATION

II is expected that the Wilmington
Volunteer Firemen's Association,
which was organized last winter TO ar
range for the fremen's celebration
here i'm October, will disband and a
new organization. with death and ac-
cident benefits for those firemen who
are injured OF killed while lighting
fire, will be organized I'm its stead.
The present association is comprised
Of forty-fve members. five from each
of nine companies. but the meetings
held in the various fire houses have
b ought the firemen so close together
in their friendly relations that 1t is
thought that an assoc alton for all

TRYING IT ON THE DOG.

John X. Tener, Governor-elect Of
Pennsylvania, dislikes automobiles.
But during the campaign he was COM
PEELED, as a matter of policy to ride in
them frequently. One trip he will
probably never forget.
With his campaign manager and
two newspaper men he was driven
from Coatesville across hills and val
leys to West Chester, over roads that
were anything but perfect. The driver
and owner, a wealthy man of Coates
vile, drove his 1911 model car at a
furious pace around curves which
were seemingly at right angles and
over "thank-you-marms" that iolted
the Republican candidate to distrac-
ton. Ouly one dog was killed. and
that was the poor beasts own fault.
At West Chester, after Mr.. Tener
had recovered, his breath, the driver
asked:
well. gentlemen. how did drive'
All right?"

cally.

PENNSY PREVENTS

Road to Warn Tres
paSSerS Off Tracks

Trespassing on the Pennsylvania
Railroad systems property in viola
tion of the law has caused the deaths
of 1886 people-approxim two a
day-since January 1, 1900. In the
same time 1888 people have been in
jured as a result Of trespassing. These
facts are brought out In the records
up to January j, 1911.
In 1907, when 916 people were kill
cd while trespassing on Pennsylvania
Railroad property, the management of
that company inaugurated a campaign
to educate the public to the dangers
of trespassing. The cooperation Of
city and county authorities was in
vited, and wide publicity was given to
efforts the company was making
to put an end to this evil, which was
annually costing so many people their
lives. AS a result of the efforts Of its
officers and employees, the number of
trespassers killed on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad in 1903 was 74S. a re-
duction of 173, or more than is per
cent. The railroads activities in this
direction were redoubled in 1903 and
again was the death roll from tres
passing reduced to 633, or about IL
per cent. in the last four years, as
records for 1910 just completed show
that 5S5 deaths resulted from tres
passing on Pennsylvania Railroad
property.

During this year tracks will be re-
posted with warning notices, the
enactment of stringent laws will b'

Little Billie was a pathetic feature.
Charles Miller made his first ap-
pearance as "Svengali," pOssessor Of
that mysterious hypnotic power. Dis
tasteful as this character must Access
sarily be to the portrayer, Mr.. Miller
handled the part with such correct
ness of detail and such absorbing
dramatic tension as to win the
plaudits of the audience. The calls for
Mr.. Miller following "Svengali's" death
at the close of the third act continued
until he presented himself before the
curtain shorn of those repulsive
whiskers which he had already laid
aside in his dressing room.
All of the characters were well
taken. AS Taffy, the work of Lynn B,
