CAN'T AGREE
HOW ROAD CASH
IS TO BE SPENT

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DELAWARE CITY, Del, April "a
Delaware City people are at odds
over the issuance of the $4,000 bonds
with which to lay modern streets.
There was to have been a meeting Of
the City Council last night to discuss
the subject, but the members did not
appear. DR.. Ellis, Edward Cole and
Harry Rose are the members Of
Council.
Chiffon street is the main thorough
fare in Delaware City, and stretches
from the wharf to ST. Georges road.
The county expects to build three
quarters of a mile of road from the
city limits to the new macadam road
leading to st. Georges. Members Of
the Levy Court say they will do
everything in their power to prevent
this stretch of road being built until
the Council of Delaware City starts
the work of building a modern street
to connect the roads.
The county built the road to st.
Georges and at the recent session of
the Legislature the town limits were
curtailed, thereby throwing this piece
of road on the county. County Off
cials say that before the road is re-
built there must be shown a desire
on the part Of the people to do some-
thing for themselves

100 MEN MAY
BE DEAD In
MINE HORROR
Continued From First Page.


three-mile length of the mine over
piles of debris while companions
dropped one by one, overcome by gas.
Indicated little hope for the men yet
penned in the mine.
Flat cars were drawn up at the
entrance of the mine today ready to
receive the bodies of the dead and
transport them to Monongahela City
for Identification by the hundreds Of
frantic women and children, who be-
siged the mine all night.
Joseph Carter, second son of the
mine superintendent who escaped,
was probably nearest the ex
plosion of any of the survivors.
He was with William Carter, a motor
man, and Joseph Green, brakeman.
The deadly fumes which followed the
explosion caused them to faint, but
Carter dragged Green to his feet. and
the men fought step by step for four
hours, stumbling first over chunk
of coal and then over a dead body.
As they neared the entrance, Green
stopped with a cry. Before him lay
the body of his brother, with flames
licking at his clothes. Green smoth-
cred the flames, but the brother was
dead and the men had to push ON to
safety.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

When oranges arc to be sliced, pour
boiling water on them, let stand a
few minutes, and the white lining will
come away with the skin.
1t is a good idea to make occasion
ally for the children little puddings
in individual moulds, and cakes and
cookies cut in fancy shapes.
Shepherds pie is minced lamb mix
ed with its own gravy, seasoned and
placed in a baking dish with layer
of mashed potato over it.
To make strawberry snow, beat the
whites of three eggs to a stiff froth,
then slowly beat in four tablespoon
fuis of crushed strawberries.
Cut mats from discarded hotwater
bottles and place under flower pots
if you wish TO protect the surface the
pots stand on.
A big vase, with wet sponge in
il, kept near the piano will give the
air the moisture required to keep the
piano in good condition.
If food should ever burn in an
aluminium cooking vessel. it should be
soaked in cold water and then scrap
ed off with a wooden spoon, instead of
sharp knife.
When you wish to put radishes
away in bowl of water in the re-
frigerator. don't put anything else
with them. Strong vegetables eX-
change flavors.
To wash Velveteen, make a lather
of soap and warm water and soak the
fabric in it-squeezing, but not rub
bing Rinse with clear water and dry
without wringing.
To remove walnut stains from
clothing. saturate the stained gar
ments with Kerosene and wash in
warm water Then boil, and the
stains will be gone.
With delicate child, It often tempts
the appetite if the right food is serv-
ed in different pretty dishes on diff
ferent days-they give a touch of
Imagination which often helps along a
meal
If aluminium ware is handled until
/ full of dents, it can be hammered into
shape again, which is one reason why
/ il is the most economical ware a
housewife can use.
If new lace curtains are soaked a
few hours in strong solution of salt
and water, they will be easier to wash.
The solution takes out the lime they
are often dressed with.
If you are I'm the habit of lending
books (iJ pays to keep name of book,
name of a person who has it and date
of loan. Then cross out the name
when the book is returned.
] Bechamel sauce is made by heat
/ ing one tablespoonful each of -four
and butter. seasoning with salt and
pepper. and then adding a cupful of
hot milk. seasoned with minced pars-
/ ley
Cheesecloth bags in which to place
green vegetables before putting into
the refrigerator help to keep their
contents fresh and the refrierator
clean. They should be washed every
week
One way of boiling finnan haddie
is to cut it in small squares, skin
and parboil. Dry and boil over a
clear fire until it is a golden brown.
/ Serve on hot platter, with butter
and lemon juice on each piece.
Before putting furs away, they
should be whipped with a cane. Then
sew them up in a thick brown paper
bags. But the only perfectly safe
method of caring for furs is to put
them in cold storage. which you feel
sure Is perfectly secure from damp
ness.

Attorneys Peyton Gordon and M. Z.
O'Brien, for the defendant, noted an
appeal to the Court of Appeals. Bill
lings was released on bond of $500.
The defendant made stirring apr cal
to the court for clemency. He admitted
he had served time in a penitentiary but
declared he had tried to live an upright
life for several years, but had been vic
tim of the police. He admitted his right
name is John &. Arthur. and that he had
conducted a hotel I'm Dayton, Ohio. He
had married since his release from prison

Counsel read letters from prominent citi-
zens of Ohio detailing the apparent good
character of Arthur or Billings, and es-
pecially praising his heroic work and aid
given to sufferers from the floods last
spring. 1t was said he saved several
lives at that time.
