DU PoNT co. CUTS MELON.
Stockholders to Get $40, ,OOO, 900 Out
of Dissolution.

Wilmington, Del.-The Dupont
Powder Company will cut a melon as
the result of the program of dissolu-
ton as ordered by the United States
Circuit Court. In a statement is
sued recently to the shareholders,
Pierre S. Dupont acting president,
says that two new companies will be
created in accordance with the de-
cree, in payment for S20,000,000
worth of property to be transferred
thereto. Tie new companies, he
sets out, will issue to the +. l. Du-
pont de Nemours Powder Company,
the parent concern. $10,00O,0O0 in
stock and the same amount in 6 per
cent. bonds.
''All the stock so received" the
acting president says, will be dis
tributed as a dividend to the COM
mon stock holders of this company.
One-half of the s1O,0OO,OOO bonds
so received are to be disposed of by
the parent company"
Mr.. Dupont says the earnings of
the two new companies should equal
from 10 to II per cent. after paying
the interest on bonds.
He places the total assets of the
z. |. du Pont de Nemours company
at S70,000,00O, and declares the
value of the assets back of the Az
per cent. bonds issued June /, 1906,
will now be increased. The estimat-
ed earnings after the segregation,
he says, will equal six times the in
terest on the bonds.
The statement concludes:
The preferred stock outstanding
will remain the same, SIS, PAS
Al. and the earnings after the pay
ment of bond interest will equal five
times the preferred stock dividends.
The common stock outstanding
will also remain as at present, s29,-
426,3S6.03."
Mr.. Dupont lays stress upon the
fact that it will not be necessary to
refinance any of the securities of the
company.

CLEANING HOUSE.
Forethousht and Method Save Work
and Worry.

Forethought and Method Save Work
and Worry.
The spring campaign of house clean
ing may be simplified by using method
and forethOught.
1t is always wise to provide in ad-
vance the necessary tools and utensils,
such as nails and hammer, picture
cords, brushes, brooms, mops, cloths,
paper, paint, varnish shelf papers,
soaps, soda, ammonia, floor and furni-
ture polish, etc.
The next thing to do is to begin at
the top of the house and turn out all
the cupboards and drawers, refining
these with clean paper and eliminating
superfluous or otherwise useless ar
ticles.
Then wash all curtains, bed valances,
covers, blinds, etc, the advantage of
this being that when the rooms are
scrubbed out everything is ready to be
put back again, clean and bright, and
so complete the whole effect.
1t is advisable to do one room mt a
time where practical. If painters and
paper hangers are necessary then one
must try and fit in the work as meth
odically as possible to avoid muddle.
1t is policy to have little cooking to
do, so that the maids may get on quick
ly. Therefore provide a good Joint
pies, etc, TO last a few days,
When turning out room the best
way to go about it /, as follows:
Lift the carpet, having arranged for
it TO be beaten and returned in readi-
ness for relaying
Remove all pictures and ornaments
Wash these thoroughly and pack the
ornameI~s in a clothes basket, which
should be well covered and kept free
from dust.
The ceilings and walls should be well
cleaned.
If bedroom is being done the mat
tresses should be taken into the open
air and beaten thoroughly The bed
steads should be rubbed thoroughly
with a cloth wet with kerosene. This
brightens and cleans the bedstead
The picture frames and glass must
next be well washed. No soda must be
used for this work. White paint Is
much improved if rubbed with little
dry whiting and then well cleaned with
a leather. The outside frames Of the
windows should also be done
The windows are next polished. A
little ammonia in the water gives a
brilliant nster to glass of any kind.
The furniture then requires TO be
washed with a little warm water and
vinegar to remove all greasy marks
and finally polished.
Everything is now ready to be re-
placed. The carpet is relaid II 1t is
surrounded by linoleum or stained
boards these are cleaned and polished
with floor polish.

NEW WIRELESS REGULATIONS,
Operators Must Watch for Distress
Calls Every Hour.

London.-The agreement reached
by the international wireless con-
ference which has been holding its
sessions in this city was signed on
Friday by representatives of all
maritime countries, including the
United States. The agreement prac-
tically makes wireless telegraphy
the most effective of all life saving
facilities on large ships.
The provisions of the agreement
provide for very careful regulation
of S o distress calls, and in the
last ten minutes of each hour wire
less operators on all vessels will be
compelled to keep silent in order
to catch any possible distress calls.
The magnetic radius is fixed by
the agreement at 800 miles, but it
does not determine which ships
within that radius shall remain 81
lent on relaying distress calls in
order TO avoid confusion in wave
lengths.
All wireless messages are to have
separate classification, such as
commercial, government, naval and
military. In future weather ober-
vations will be given right of way
over commercial messages.
In a short time a special mari
time conference will be held, when
all vessels will be divided into
classes. The first-class ships will be
compelled to carry an auxiliary wire
less apparatus on the uppermost
decks.
The next international wireless
conference win be held in Washing
ton during June, 1917.

Homemade Alcohol Lamp.

A simple spirit lamp can be easily
made out Of tin backing box. Drill
holes all round the lid, fill the box with
absorbent cotton and soak 1t with
alcohol. Put the lid on, and place a
lighted match against the holes. AS
the alcohol evaporates it will burn like
small gas ring. This makes a splen-
did little stove for invalid's food.

CURLY HAIR.
Art May Step In Where Nature Has
Been Unkind.

Art May Step In Where Nature Has
Been Unkind.
If you wish to make naturally
straight hair curly there are several
methods, but the results are only tenn
porary.
Shampoo the hair with soapy water
in which few grains of carbonate of
potash have been dissolved. While
the hair is still damp plat the parts
that need to be waved in tight braids,
or else put them up in thick locks
over hairpins. If mere fluffiness is de-
sired dress the hair loosely while
damp, fluffing out the front with the
fingers.
Another method is to moisten the
hair with strong tea or aromatic vine
gar, in which about ten grains of car
Donate of potash to half pint of the
tonic have been dissolved.
There are some bandolines and
mucilaginOus fluids which will aid in
keeping the hair in curl 1t is bad to
use these constantly, as their tendency
is harmful to the hair structure. When
used only occasionally-say two or
three times a month-a curling fluid
Is not greatly injurious.
The hair may be moistened with the
following before rolling it over kid or
rag curriers':
IIaBdcahth '''''.'''................. y ounce
I'o'' "a'er '''''''''''' ''''''.'''''s''.. / pint
Oh OF Almonds. s....................... Y dram
Crush the tragacanth and put it in
the rosewater, let the vessel stand in
warm place, stirring occasionally till
the gum is swollen and soft. Strain
through a single cheesecloth and then
through three thicknesses. Then add
almond oil and few grains of car
mine or saffron to tint it.

\ SQUEAL.

From Arlington, Texas, comes a -long drawn out squeal-such squeal as is emitted by pig caught be'ween the i;ars of gate. It appears that the tour men who enacted the role of lapor agents in this city about ten days ago are prominent farmers Of Arlington, at least, that is the infor- nation vouchsafed by an ed tor al writer for the Arlington Journal.
 It appears, also, that notwithstand- ing the yaunted newspaper experience Of tAe gentleman who so gallantly lakes up the cudgels in their defense, he is unable or unwilling to differen- tiate between a genuine news artcle aud what he is pleased to call 'sreast'' The gentleman speaks of the contempt heaped upon h s friends by the Graphic The article he refers to w;.s publisae ed in the news columns of the Graphic September 29. 1t was wcll authenticated account of the cBeratioas of several labor agents who C me here from Texas. The lnlor- matj..n 1t ccntainfd d was derived from entirely reliable sources. In t no at temsJ was made tC heap con umely on tic heads of he labor agents. It was sinp.e rec tai of the actions of the Tex ns while in this city. This paper has .ot, before today, referred to the :. ma Ter editorially, however rlchly criticisms m ght have been deserveo.
