SPRAYING is NOT DIFFICULT

Mix Materials Properly and
Follow Directions.

It does not pay to spray, as spray
ing is done by ha.i of those who try it.
Yet proper spraying is not difficult
Have first a clear idea Of what you
want to do. Know the enemy you are
fighting. Then mix your materials
properly. Study the formula and fol.

To Starch Fine LINGERIE,

Many housewives experience great
difficulty in laundering fine lingerie,
such as dainty waists, iabots, collars
and so forth. The chief difficulty
seems to lie in giving them just the
proper degree Of crispness. Rinsing
them in solution of borax gives the
right degree of stiffness and renders
them just like new. Two heaping ta-
blespoonfuls of borax to FIVE quarts Of
water is good proportion. This is
also excellent for thin dresses
trimmed with lace.

PROTECT YOUNG APPLE TREES
Thin Wooden Veneer Wrapper VIII
Prevent Girdilng by Rodents
Screen Wire Also Good.

J Perhaps the best protection against
girdling Of fruit trees by mice and
rabbits is obtained by using a thin
wooden veneer wrapper which has
been soaked to keep it from breaking,
then bent around the tree and held
In place by q single wire about the
middle, writes C. G. Wiggans in Mis-
souri, Valley Farmer. The wire stays
In place better If passed through
hole near the outer edge of the veneer
wrapper. The wrapper should be
pushed down into the earth so mice
cannot burrow under 1t, or they may
be shut out by heaping soil up around
the bottom, of the case and tramping it
firm. Coiled screen wire may be used
In much the same way, but 1t is more
expensive The veneer wrappers 90
not usually cost more than half OF
three-qua1ters Of cent apiece, and
can be secured from any orchard sup
! Ply house.
Bunches of long grass, or split corn
stalks, may give good protection
against rabbits, but fail to keep mice
from doing harm. Newspapers or tar
paper wrapped around the tree trunk
have been successfully used by many
orchardis.s.
! Paint and washes do not give good
results, all the rabbits sometimes seem
to attack the washed trees more than
the untreated ones.
Damage from mice should be avoid
/ ed by the removal of all loose, trashy
material from the neighborhood OF the
base of the tree trunk. If the ground
has been fall plowed, the under furroH
slice has good nesting places for mice
and the nearby trees are likely to SUI
fer, but if the ground near the tree IL
clean and well compacted little dam
age will be done by these rodents.

Warming Over Meat.

The best way to warm up a roast of
meat is to wrap it in thickly creased
paper, and keep it covered while in
the oven. BY having it covered the
steam will prevent the meat from be-
coming hard and dry, and it will be.
some heated through in less time.

S2O, ,OOO YEARLY PROFIT
 IN SALE OF CHOP SUEY

New York, June 23-The supreme court has been asked to settle a dis pute among the many Chinese who are partners in the Mann Fong Lowe Co.,, which operates a restaurant call ed the Oriental at Pel1 street and the Bowery. George Coon Chung charges that he was busted by his seven part ners who took large sums of money of which he said he owned a share and invested in real estate.
 Coon Chung had been manager of the restaurant, he said, until he, went to Boston recently. On his return he found that the chop suey establish ; ment had been taken over by ,his part ners and he had lost a share in inc business which he says has paid an annual profit of $2O,O0O during the last three years.
 He asks, through Williams & Kohn. of No. 261 Broadway, for an iniunc tion restraining the other partners from entering upon the new business venture and also for the appointment of a receiver pending a dissolution of the co-partnership and an account ing.
 When the motion was argued before Justice Whitaker, Coon Chung,s partners denied practically everything in his complaint except that he had told his heal name and that he was a member of the o-partnership Deci- sion was reserved.

BRILL BR0THERS'
 NEW STORE SOON l WILL OPEN HERE
Ninth Link In Chain of Large and Successful Cloth
 ing Shops.

In the course of the next week or ten days, Brill Brothers, the we'll known. New York -cIothiers, will open a new store in Bridgeport. It will be the ninth link in the Brill chain of stores, which rumor has it, will soon stretch from New York and Newark, N. J., through most of the New Eng land states.
 The store about to be opened here is the firms first store in the East. It is very shortly to be followed by sev- eraI more. In this, as we'll as in all other stores planned, the same meth ods, merchandise and prices will pre- caiI as in the firms s New York stores.
 Brill Brothers, unlike most chain store systems, is a co-partnership and not a corporation. Their rapid growth is just another of the many romances of big business in America.
 In twenty-eight years the business has grown from one small 15 40 store, opened November 12, 1887 at No 5 Cortland street, Manhattan, to eight large, handsome, successful clothing shops. From a more than modest beginning they are now, and have been for some years, among the foremost clothiers in New York
 How this business grew is told in the following interesting interview with Samuel Brill, senior member of the firm:
 ''It is now just little over twenty eight years since my two brothers Maurice, Max D., and I opened a small shop at No. IS Cortland street, N Y thirteen feet front and about forty deep. Our capital was $500. The store and part of the stock in trade we secured from my former employer who had been unable to make the business pay remember that when we had our opening he gave us lot of empty boxes to place on the shelves linen, underwear, hosiery and neck wear to make a brave array The Cort1andt street of those days was not the thoroughfare it is now, and the easy-going old merchants shook their heads and predicted that our young firm would fail; but energy and atten- tion to details placed the store in such a shape that after 8 months trial we felt we would surely succeed. We long before we gathered sufficient money to open a bank account in the Old North River Bank. One year af- ter this account was opened. the bank failed, and we lost $1,500. We were not discouraged, however. We just begged right along without the aid of outside capital, and today, after steady, healthy growth, our business fills eight successful stores.

l PROVEMENTS IN
 DEEP SEA DIVING l MEAN VAST RICHES
Recovery of Sunken Vessels and Wealth Aboard Them
 Is Made Possible.


 Must all the millions of dollars that now lie at the bottom of the sea in the form of ships and their sunken treasure be forever lost to the world ? Most of the vessels that have been sunk. whether by accident or in the course of the present war, lie in com paraHve1y shallow waters. many of them at a depth of less than 300 feet, and the problem of their recovery does not seem entirely hopeless in the light of recent improvements in deep sea diving and the feats accomplish ed by the expert divers of the U & Navy. The matter is the subject of an article in the current number of tthe Bulletin of the Pan American JJn>- Y1on, Washington D. c. In discussing the organization of companies in the United States whose purpose is the re- Lcovery of some of the wealth now ly- Ing in the oceans depth, the writer states:
 Certain it is that the project of re- covering sunken ships, or the most valuable of the treasures that have gone down with them. is more feasible now then it was only four or five years ago Such great Improvements in diving apparatus have recently been made that it is now possible for a di- Ever to operate for a limited time even at the great depth Of 800 feet below ifhe surface These Improvements are largely due to the remarkable ex- lperiments in deeD-sea diving conduct ed under the auspices of the Bureau f"of Construction and Repair of the Ma wy Department Of the United States in 1914. Prior to this time the greatest depth reached by divers was 21O feet two English officers having accom- plished that feat during a series of tests carried on by the British Adr1i- v n EHrS-- I, l-1 who do not appreciate the difficulty Of diving to such depths it may be stated that at a depth of fs1o feet be- low the surface the pressure is 433 pounds Der square inch of surface of the body submerged This pressure increases approximately, and at a depth of 100 feet it has increased to F43.5 pounds and at a depth of 300 feet to 129.9 pounds
 Notwithstanding this tremendous pressure. the expert divers of the U. S. Navy have succeeded in not only reaching a depth of 300 to 3O5 feet. but in remaining at that depth for from to 20 minutes at a time, ma king examinations and observations in regard to a sunken vessel that made it's subsequent salvage possible. This work was done in connection with the raising of the U. 8. submarine F-4 which, it will be remembered, plung- ed to the bottom of the sea just off the harbors of Honolulu on March 25, 1915. Not only did the divers estab- fish a new worlds record for deep sea diving upon that occasion. but the subsequent raising and recovery of the lF-4 is the only instance in history where a sunkeu vessel was recovered from a depth of 300 feet"
 The writer thereupon gives a brief sketch of the history Of diving as a useful art from the tine of Aristotle down to the present. and after de- scrtbing a modern diving outfit and explaining in some detail the matter
