WANT CREEK KEPT
FREE OF DYES

The farmers along the east branch
of the Brandywine in Chester county,
Pa, have at last taken preliminary
steps to rid the stream of its un-
slightly flood of dye water If this OBJ
iect can be attained through action
by the Pennsylvania Health Board,
and will send a strong petition, signed
by all those who own or occupy prop
erty along that stream, to State Health
Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon with
in a few days. requesting that his body
take some action to stop the dye from
being placed in the water, which is
colored either a bright reddish tint
or one of black nearly every day at
the present time. the evil growing
worse rapidly instead of being inn
proved. The Fisheries Department
made several strenuous efforts to stop
the practice of placing the dye in the
stream, but failed to get any action in
the matter and the farmers have now
taken up the matter and will see what
can be done to restore the stream to its
former clean and beautiful appear
ance.

CORNMEAL JAG
The LAST WORD
in TIPSY STUFF

GEORGETOWN, Del, Aug. 22-
cornmeal whisky is the latest con-
coction in dry" Sussex county, and
those who have tried out the liquid
declare its efficiency of initiating
LIQUOR. It is made by mixing water
and eornmeal together into a mash
and allowing it to stand in the sun
for twenty-four hours. Then, after
straining it. a little brown sugar and
a few pinches of snuff are added with
the proper dilution of water, and a
drink that will rival the famous
Jersey lightning" is the result.
The drink will not keep very long
without becoming sour, and the
makers are, therefore. compelled to
dring it within few hours. A jag
that will last nearly day follows.
The mixture became public when
Eve negroes were arrested for being
drunk. and when questioned as to
where they had obtained the booze,
confessed to having made the new
mixture

report of the rescue of the two chill

so much noise it is almost impossible
to tell when they need help.
Hereafter an effort will be made to
keep the children quieter and young
sters will be charged with the danger
of venturing out too far and the
chance of being drowned when the
air wings get away from them.

Some of the prettiest all-white

Cotton crepes are Of all weights.

ratine thickness
Silk crepons promise to be revived
for fall gowns. Blister crepons are
their newest FORMS
The slash promises to be used in
the new narrow skirts, but it will not
be any way striking.
The new duvetine fabric is being
developed in both wool and silk and
wool for the winter.
Net with large lace designs on it
is more successful than really heavy
laces like Irish or venise.
A feature of practically all even
ing wraps is the drapery. Usually it
is full above and confined below the
knees.
Some of the newest linens, both tea
cloths and napkins, have borders
printed in high colors and modern art
designs.
A pretty fancy in recent millinery
is the transparent black hat with a
big net butterfly poised at the back.

The favorite embroidery at the
moment for fine lingerie dresses is the
East Indian or blind work. with no
holes, but broad fiat flowers and leaves
evenly and finely woked
Blush-rose satin, yelled with gar
net ninon, is one of the combinations
for evening. An overdress Of ivory
.mousselie, embroidered with gold
thread, gives it a delightful tone.
In Paris low seude shoes laced to
the leg with broad colored ribbons, are
worn on the sheerest of silk stockings
in any color but black. OF course
they must harmonize with the cos
tune.
An evening wrap of supple gold
and-green silk has cords and tassels
at the neck and dull gold lace under
sleeves, absolutely simple and without
date. Such a wrap never goes out OF
fashion.
Separate skirts are finished at the
waist line with sashes Of soft ribbon
wrapped round the figure.
The most original materials are
used for evening wraps. such as cloth
of silver with silver fringe.

State Exports Decline While
Domestic Commerce Increases

The customs district of Delaware,
which hitherto included Wilmington.

thorized in 1893. recently disappeared

in New Jersey. OF the three ports in

portant. The Delaware district has oc-
cupied an important place IN the Gus
toms history Of the nation, but in for
eirn commerce has latteriv been over
shadowed by Philadelphia. on Delaware
bay. and by Baltimore, on Chesapeake
bay.
In 1902 the export totals of the Della
ware district were less than "a nalf mil
lion dollars: in 1893 they had declined
to ss4 600. but in 1894 and continuously
from that time up through 1906 the ex-
ports of Delaware varied from S3,293 ,Oof
to s5.G7q .73J. Since 1906 the exports
have again seriously declined
In the meantime. however, the domes-
tic commerce of the port of Wilmington
has been heavy; its value IN 1911 having
been SIS, s,074. .05l, and in 1912 S69ab5lal.
The imports Of the Delaware district
have gradually risen with some fiuctua
tions from 1892 UP to the present. but it
was not until 1912 that the total i'm
ports exceeded one million dollars. The
imports by decades have been as follows

is a pretty, attractive one and appro-
priately could be made from linen or
from pique, from pongee. from char
meuse satin or from light weight
cloth with the finish varied to suit
the material. As it is shown here.
It is finished with scallops and en-
broidered with dots. Broadcloth
would he handsome with trimming of
silk braid and eharmeuse satin would
be pretty with cape lining Of a con
trasting color or with the edges cord
ed. Pongee could be either scalloped
or treated in the same manner as the
charmeuse. The coat is full below the
square yoke and the circular cape is
always becoming to little children.
For a very plain coat, the cape can
be omitted of course, but it makes
such a very attractive finish that most
mothers will want it.
For the year size the coat will
require 3 IA yards of material 81,
