Paris made application for the ap-
pointment of the administrator here
because Wilmington is the seat Of the
corporation Under the corporation
laws of Delaware suit may be brought
where the company is incorporated.
and il is probable that Paris is taking
advantage of this law in asking for
the letters here, in order that he may
file his claims against the stock OF
the caribbean Soal Company owned
by the deceased at the time of his
death.
The deceased was a resident OF Nene-
zuela and died in the Dutch West In
dies; his wife is recorded as resident
OF Colombia; the petitioner Is resi-
dent of New York, and the letters are
granted in Wilmington.
The case will undoubtedly attract a
good deal OF interest as IT is the first
of the kind that has ever occurred
here. Such international cases are
rerv rare at all times. and the cir
cumstauces OF this one are peculiar.

NEWARK. Sept. 12-Dr. George A.
Harter. president of Delaware Col
Iege, announced last night that but
45 students had registered in the
Freshmen class. but that several more
would probably come in later. There
is some disappointment in so few Of
the Wilmington High School gradu-
ates coming to Delaware this year.
It is reported that large number Of
them will enter Swarthmore and that
there are numerous graduates of High
Schools in various parts of the State
who have entered colleges outside Of
the State.
The agricultural department makes
a good showing in the freshmen class
as nearly half of the class have en-
tered that department. There are u
two-year and four-year agricultural
men in the class to date.
The college got down to the usual
work this morning when the custo-
Imary recitations were started. Thurs
day was taken up largely in organ
izing the classes.
At noon today, under orders OF
Lieutenant Herman. the military in
lstructor, all the cadets reported on
the college campus for the organiz-
ing of companies. Emery Loomis is
major of the battalion this year, he
having been appointed last June.
Lieutenant Herman has decided that
instead of having four companies. as
has been the custom for several years,
he will have but three companies. The
lcaptains are Archie Dean, Charles r.
lGrubb and RAYMOND McNoaI.

SPRAYING MACHINE
IS BIG NECESSITY
Common Water Sprinkler for Ap-
plying Mixtures Does Very
Little Good.

A spraying machine is as necessary
for the garden as the orchard Some
folks use common water sprinkler
for applying spraying mixtures; but
this does little good, because it is not
only a great waste of material, but
the plants are not fully covered in
this way
The liquid should be put on in a
fine mist, not as a heavy rain. To
apply Paris green in water various
cheap hand sprayers are on the mar
ket now
They need not be OF copper for this
purpose, as Paris green will not cor
rode iron any more than does water;
but when Bordeaux mixture is used
as a carrier for the arsenical poison
land We would strongly urge that this
be done in every case, as ii must be
done if We put our potato growing OPP
erations on a safe basis, then the
sprayer must be made of copper and

FROZEN DISHES FOR OCCASIONS

When serving an ice cream for
company the addition of a sauce
makes it a most attractive and ele-
giant dessert. Prepare or buy the
plain vanilla ice cream and pour over
each serving the following sauce:
Chocolate Sauce.-Cream a fourth
of a cup of butter, add half a cup of
sugar mixed with two tablespoOnfuls
of cornstarch, add two squares of
chocolate melted, and a pint of boiling
water, a dash of cinnamon and salt,
cook ten minutes, flavor with vanilla
and serve.
Cocoa Parfait.-Boil together a cup
of sugar and half cup of boiling
water, ten minutes; pour this syrup
over four tablespoonfuls of cocoa
which has been beaten with four egg
yolks; cook over bot water until
smooth, soft custard is formed, beat
until cold; add two cups of cream,
beaten stiff, two teaspoonfuls of va
nilla and a fourth of a teaspoonful OF
salt. Turn into a mold and pack in
equal measures OF salt and finely
crushed ice. Let stand four hours.
Serve garnished with whipped cream
sweetened and favored. If the cream
is put through a pastry bag over the
nodded parfait, a most attractive dish
is the result
Chocolate is such a general favorite
in any combination that another one
may not be amiss.
Chocolate Mousse. - Melt three
ounces of chocolate. add a cup and
half of sugar and a cup Of cream,
boil one minute Mix a tablespoonful
of gelatin with a fourth of a cup of
water and add to the boiling mixture;
when cool, add a teaspoonful OF vanil-
la, a dash of salt and the whip from
three cups of cream Pour into

and salt. 1t will be ready to serve in
four hours If an oblong mold is used,
serve it cut in even slices.

For the Window Box.

Much of the summer splendor of the
window box depends on its spring
time care-the box itself, the soil put
in it, the planting of seeds and plants
and the early culture of them 1t is
generally more satisfactory to buy
the plants already started at the flor
lists, but if you desire to raise them
from seeds plant the seeds in a shall
low box of well drained finely powder
ed earth. and transplant them to small
pots when they are big enough-when
they have four or five leaves. When
they have grown to be sturdy and
strong and have many leaves they can
be transplanted to the window box,
or else can be planted in the larger
pots for few weeks and then put in
the box. Only professional florists
insist that all plants-all towering
plants-should be hree times trans
planted to give the best results.
