County Constable Bowers, on the
charge of disorderly conduct abroad
one of the Kennett Square cars on
Saturday night, we're arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Robertson this morn
ing. owing to the number of de-
PENDANTS and witnesses who testi-

The evidence showed that on Saturday
evening there had been dance s., the
hall at Hockessin. A number of the
Young folks who attended the dance
had congregated at the waiting station
to wait for the last Kennett Square troll
ley car and while the young people We're
standing on the platform a crowd OF
young negro boys collected and began to
annoy them in various ways, some of
them cursing at the white people. When
the car came up to the platform and the
returning dancers climbed aboard, the
negroes became more abusive and Of

in the backs as they climbed on the ear
There were more than a dozen o.
the youngsters i'm the cars and th'
white BOYS were Outnumbered and thus
deemed il wise not to fight back.
The witnesses identified the color

no part in the actual disturbance, anC
il was also shown that Johnson ha,
tried to get them to leave the white
people alone.

HUNTERS RIGHTS
ON RIVER FIXED
BY ANCIENT LAW

HARRISBURG, Jan. 2l.-An opinion
nst rendered TO the State Game Com
aission by Attorney General John C..
Sell throws some interesting light upon
he extent of the rights eniOyedf by
Pennsylvania ON the Delaware River
s far hunting and arrests for viola
ION of the game laws are concerned.
A number of questions involving these
lights have come up in the last few
Years. and after a search the Attorney
General finds that Pennsylvania and
New Jersey have an agreement which IS
entirely different from that between
Pennsylvania and New York.
BY an agreement made between Penn
sylvana and New Jersey in 1888, the ar
rest OF a criminal is permitted ON any
part OF the river between the states
without limiting jurisdiction to offences
committed on the river. Therefore, a
keystone State game commission oiii-
Ger can arrest q person on the river for
an offence committed on the Delaware
or in the State of Pennsylvania.
BY the act of 1889 the States of New
York and Pennsylvania established a
boundary line in the river, and there
liz no such agreement as prevails be-
tween Pennsylvania and New Jersey
The authority of the game officers ex-
tends only to the boundary line be-
tween these two States in the river
and not over the whole river, as Is
the case in that portion between
Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
In the same opinion the Attorney
General says that the Pennsylvania
hunters license does not allow mar
O hunt beyond the boundary line be-
,ween Pennsylvania and New Jersey
as there is no agreement in hunting
rights. The Delaware lis and shal
continue to be and remain common
highway equally free and open for th'
Use. benefit and advantage OF thu
TWO States, but the chief law oiicer'
hold that does not include hunting.

How to Hold Your Baby
in an Automobile

In the September Woman's Home
Companion appears a department
called The Exchange" in which va
rious contributors give practical
household and family suggestions.
a California woman tells as follows
how to hold your baby in an auto
mobile:
BUY a basket 3Ox18 inches. Tie
market basket type has straighter
sides than the clothes basket and fits
into the bottom Of even a small toll
neau, leaving room for one person 10
sit comfortably. To protect baby
from the sun and wind make a top
of heavy denim. For the bow use
q piece of heavy galvanized wire,
bent; fatten each end and punch a
hole, through which rivet bow to
basket. Incline the bow at an angle
Of about forty-five degrees. The
cloth cover consists of one rectangu-
lar and two triangular pieces sewed
together, tackled TO the end and sides
of the basket and sewed to the bow.
Before covering, fasten two strips Of
rubber a foot long to the arch of the
bow and to the closed end of the
basket, and the top is made collapse
bic. 1t is then necessary to attach
cord to the bow and to the open end
of the basket, to keep the top up,
for when released the rubber pulls
the top back. This, however, makes
II easier to put baby in and out

Housework

Almost every factor in a mans
world has within few years
changed, and makes for better human
efficiency. The vast majority of wives
and housekeepers do not follow the
new and uplifting methods. One
reason why they do not Is because
woman breads being criticised by
woman. She refuses to let the wash
ing go over the regular day for fear
neighbors will gossip. Even when
she has daughters or servants or
other members of the family willing
and competent, she is insanely pos
sessed with the obsession that she
must be there in person to oversee.
Generally in such cases the excuse is
that Something might go wrong"
but the truth is that the unfortunate
drudge was long ago accustomed to
see her mother or grandmother per-
form some unessential household task
on a certain day, or at a certain
season. and foolishly imaglnes that
she also must perform the same task
under the same circumstances. re-
gardless of fatigue. physical con-
dltIon or other work or affairs.
The woman who drudges because
her mother and grandmother drudged
is fool The woman who Is afraid
of what the neighbors may say Is
ninny, says DR.. William Lee Howard
in The Mothers Magazine. Both are
wicked, because the drudge not only
hurts herself. but Injuries her husband
and gravely imperils the health of her
children.
To neglect your homework is not a
crime. The neglect your health and
the health of husband and family is
a crime, and a heinous one. If you
are In the rut of monotony that
brings drudgery. physical breakdown
and perhaps months of suffering IN
the hospital, sanitarium or asylum
get out Do ii nowi
There will be dishes to wash, beds
to make and pies to bake a thousand
years from now. But you have only
one trip through this world. Enjoy
it with your husband and loved ones.
Be fair to yourself and fair to them,
and make the most of life.
If you are in a rut, or feel in
danger of getting into one. dry your
hands, hang up your apron and take
q day off Then take at least a day
off every week.
Better take two days until you are
sure you are safely out of the rut.

Dear Margery Doom.
Please tell me how to remove
moths from portieres and other
hangings, and oblige,
WORRIED.
The surest and cleanest way to
eradicate moths in furniture. car
pets, etc. is to saturate the articles
with naphtha, always keeping IN
mind that this must be done away
from fire and artificial light and
with the windows wide open. II the
articles can be taken out of doors
the naphtha may be applied freely
The operation should be repeated
after several days. as the eggs may

floors. Keep the room open and

Velvet Wraps and Hats

The velvet capes, with their smart
striped Innings that have been spar
ingly worn this season, will be more
generally adopted in the autumn, and
the same thing will be true OF the
velvet hats now reckoned advanced.
These will be in line with the capes,
and with the general trend toward
velvet and satin. The combinations
of odd materials bid fair to continue
with us for some time to come. and
clever dressers who know how valu-
able this trend of style is to the
woman who likes TO stretch her dress
allowance, are not mourning its con-
tinuance.
