- f the fur is new. there Is nothing
unusual in the fact mat the
hairs are falling out, for Il
certain amount Of shedding il
not uncommon. If. however, the
fur is coming out in patches, al
most as if ii were rotten, look. for
moths. 1t may be that there are
moths in the closet where you
keep your furS when they are not
in use. 1t would be safer to keep
them in a bag .sprinkled with
redar TO insure the exclusion o.
moths. Brush the fur occasionally
SO thar moth eggs viii be shaken
uut if they have been laid there.
If these methods fail, take the
furs TO an expert furrier and get
his opinion in the matter 1t NAV
he that an old piece of fur has
heen sold to you as one OF prime
quality and you will be able to
collect something from the llrIr
from which YOU purchased the

Cement FLOOR FOR
DANCING PURPOSES

Commodore C. G. Burgoyne, in con-
nection with the erection of the band
house, work upon which was begun
last Monday, has decided to cement
the intervening space between the es-
planade and the building to afford a
dance floor for the children especial
ly. This will give a surface 46 feet
in width and $50 feet in length and
will be illuminated by six lamps such
as are used along the esplanade.
In connection with the band con-
certs, which are attracting numbers
of people, especially in the afternoon,
there are to be heard many pleasant
comments on the pleasure it affords
and kindly words of appreciation of
Commodore Burgoyne's generous gift
to Daytona.
