SIX YEARS TOPPED
 FROM NEGROES TERM
Instead of Ten Years, Oscar Rouse Will Serve Only Four, as Result of New Trial.

Oscar Rouse. young negro, saved six years of his, time for himself by the simple expsdient of asking a new trial.

Rouse apparently had a penchant for getting into trouble and other pso- ple's homes, for he was soon locked up again. When. couple of weeks ago, he again pleaded guilty. he was sentenced to seven years for burglary and three years for grand larceny.
 A new trial was asked and granted. the judgment set aside. yesterday. gano Rouse again arraingsd. Again he pleaded guilty. Three years for burglary and one years for grand larceny were the sentences imposed. Lawrence Dixon, negro. pleaded guilty to q charge of grand larceny. and was sentenced to serve one year.

PROTECTION AGAINST
CLOTHES MOTHS
CAMPHOR, TAR PAPER, CEDAR
CHESTS, AND OTHER PREVENT
TIVES USELESS WHEN EGGS ARE
PRESENT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 5.-The
various substances used to keep away
moths, such as tobasso, camphor, ma
phthalens cones or balls, tarred paper
and cedar chips have no effect if thu
eggs are already present in the clothes
and entomology specialists in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture therefore recommend a thorough
beating, shaking, and brushing of all
articles likely to attract moths, before
they are laid away for the summer.
The brushing of garments is especially
important in order to remove eggs
which may have escaped notice. II
the articles are quite free from eggs
or larvae when laid away, the odor
from the various repellents already
mentioned or from cedar chests and
wordrote will serve to keep the moths
away This odor, however, lessons
with age, so that the protection it af-
fords is greatly decreased after few
years. For this reason when furs and
other valuable garments are wrapped
in tarred paper or placed in sacks of
tarred paper these containers should
be renewed every year or two
In general moths are likely to affect
only articles which are put away and
left undisturbed for some little time.
Apartments and closets that are fire.
quently aired and swept are not apt to
be seriously affected. In fact airing
and sunlight are probably the best as
well as the oldest remedies. Where
circumstances demand that the articles
be put away, however, convenient
and effective device is to place them in
large paste-board boxes such as tailors
use and gum a strip of wrapping paper
around the edge so as to seal up the
box completely and leave DO cracks. II

CINDERELLA WORE PRETTY
LITTLE SLIPPER Of
SQUIRREL FUR
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON. April 5.-Cinderella never
wore glass slippers. The slippers that
the prince fitted to her small foot, and
which her two ugly, mean and schem-
ing sisters tried in vain to get intn,
was not glass. 1t was made of SPUR
rel skin.
This blow to a tradition dear tn
childhood was delivered by Cecile Hug
on, lecturer in French literature to
the Oxford Society for women's Edu
cation in paper on the subject af
fairy tales. When the Cinderella story
was turned from French into English,
the translator mistook word.
Perrault. who wrote the tale in
French, described the slipper not rs
"soulier de verre,' but as ''soulier de
vair." Verre and vair sound alike in
French, but verre means glass while
vair means the fur of the squirrel.
Miss Hugon suggests that the slipper
might have been of gray, with dainty
trimming of squirrel about the toS.
Otherwise, they might have been all
fur top. But in no case did Cinderella
receive pair of glass slippers from
her fairy godmother and drop one in
the bali room for the prince to find.

Germany, the land of scientific and

its raw material in Hamburg. Here
large mills were opened; the palm
kernel oil was won, and the residue
was prepared as palm kernel cake and
meal. The oil was, also, extracted to
some extent in Liverpool. Great Brit
