Every girl likes shirt waists in che
simple mannish style, whatever more
elaborate blouses she may own. This
one includes all the tailors marks, for
it is made with a little pocket on the
left side and with plain stitched
edges and close-fittlng high collar;

a distinctly different effect produced
by few simple changes. In that
case. the front edges are hemmed.
the pocket is omitted and the neck is
finished with a Rohespierre collar
Clever girls will be quick to recog-
nize that the two waists are as diff

LIVE Stuck RTrpNS

Five horses and fifteen COWS were burn
ed tc death early Tuesday morning in the
fire that destroyed the barn on the Miss
Emma Lyman farm near the Lancaster
turnpike, and tenanted by Edward Lucas
who owned the stock. The estimated
loss is $1,000. In additionto the live
stock quantities of farm products were
consumed.
The fire is believed to have been of in.
cendiary origin, and the state authorities
will be asked to investigate it. Six horses
and all the cows were secured in their
stalls early in the evening. After the fire
was out and when it was believed all the
stock had been burned, one horse was
found wandering along the road towards
the farm. 1t was fully harnessed and
appeared 10 have been driven far.
The belief is that someone broke into
the barn and stole the horse, later turn
ing it loose. The fire, it is claimed, was
started by this intruder, either by design
or accidentally, while trying to get the
horse out.
A farm hand discovered the blaze. He
gave the alarm and neighbors assisted
him in trying to combat the flames. Their
efforts were fruitlsss for the entire build
ing was enveloped when the fire was dis
covered.
Farmers h:oughout New Castle county
are becoming alarmed because of the
frequent barn burniDgs recently.

PARCELS POST RECOMMENDED

The establishment oi parcel post deliv-
erv along rural mail routes should not be
delaN ed any longer, in the opinion of p.
V. Degraw, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, as expressed In his annual report
submitted to Postmaster General Hitch.
COCK. Mr.. Degraw says:
"EI cry Consideration of pTacticability,
business expediency aud good admlnisEra-
tiOn faVors the plan as being probable
source OF large revenue aud great public
accommodation.
MIR. Degraw bases his recommendation
Tor parcels post on the ground that the
expenditure for rural service is increasing
,Huch more rapidly than the receipts; and
the parcels post, he says, would provide
much additional revenue.
During the last year the rural mail re-
ceipt were $3.50 600. while the expeDdi-
lures were S36, l30, 600. For the present
year there has been appropriated $42, 79O.
600, while it Is not expected that there
will be any appreciabIe increase in re-
eeipts. This loss will become greater each
wear he says, unless parcels post is esta-
blished to help.
There are at the present more than one
million miles of rural mail routes, and
the average mileage per day for each car
rier is "a. l9 miles. During the past year
577 routes were added, making the pres
rnt total 4l.655.

Farmers numbering 100 and represent
ing every section OF Queen Anne's coun-
ty met in Centreville, Md, last weak to
discuss means for forcing a higher price
for tomatoes from packers. Or. W. D.
Troy was chairman. The packers have
offered the growers 10 cents per basket,
equivalent to 50 per ton. This is two
cents more per basket than was paid last
year. The growers say this is not profi.s
able, and ask II cents, ]. Laurall & Bro,
incorporated, packers, Baltimore, erected
mammoth cannery in Centreville early
last season. They say it will be impos-
sible to give more than last season, but
the farmers, representing many hundreds
of acres, announce that they will stand
frm and unless the packers meet their de-
mand, not a tomato shall be grown.
Farmers in various parts Of Maryland

THE GREAT GIFT, GASOLINE
What is gasoline =?

what Is gasoline?
Commercially speaking, it is the reason-
ably limpid, colorless fluid, carefully
thinned and lightly sprinkled with tiny
splInters-these latter being provided to
clog your carburetor-for which the pro-
prietor of the wayside garage charges you
from 10 to 40 cents per gallon, according
to the advertised price of your car and the
presence or absence of a chauffeur on
your list of accessories. Ordinarily, gas
ollne is found surrounded by mo smok.
ing signs, the inference being that a
lighted cigar is dangerous in its vicinity;
although many hold that the article fre-
quently encountered today might be used
with the utmost success as the sousing
factor OF fire extinguisher.
In nature, we find gasoline to exist in
petroleum, an indolent, oleaginious juice
which went to the bowels of the earth
hide from the eye of man, and was drag
ged out and put to work. And, in this
connection, soGae day or other; when
gasoline comes into it's full recognition, a
leaned savant is going to get up mighty
Interesting little monograph which will
throw a new light on the true cause of
earthquakes and place the blame where
it belongs
Chemically, one distills gasoline from
petroleum. A little natural gas fzzles
out at first; then little fraction of rhigo-
,lene. Rhigofene, by the way, is an an.
aesthetic an in its presence here We find
another example of natures wonderfully
beautiful working; being about to endow
US with gasoline and all that it entails, d
a perfectly reliable pain-killer is first
provided, to be tucked away convenient
ly and used when needed. The rhigolene
worked off, gasoline boils its way into ex-
lstence. There are several varieties, plain
and fancy, light and heavy, each with it's
uses. The last of the lot to come over is
"stove" gasoline, and even this lives I'D
to its honored surname as source Of action
and entertainment. Handled by an alb
sentminded person, in just the improper
way, a gasoline stove furnishes more real
motion and diversion than any other one
thing under the sun. With the load of
gasoline removed, pang of shame comes
to petroleumj it settles down consentedly
to give kerosene for our lamps, vaseline
for our burns, paraffin for our jelly jars,
and it gasolines no more.
