WAR BREAD IN USE IN ITALY
Experts Pronounce 1t Superior to Prod
ucts of Bakeries Before the Great
Conflict Began.

A war bread of the Italian bakers,
designed primarily to save manual Ia
Dor, uses the wheat without milling.
AS described, it's only popularity of
appearance is a gray color, and the
product of the municipal bakery at
Bergamo is claimed to be highly pleas
ing in flavor and more nutritious than
flour bread, containing larger proper
ton of mineral salts, lecithin and vege-
table pepsin. The sifted and washed
grain is soaked in warm water for 48
to 60 hours. The germination-Or vital
ization-thus set up sOftens and modi-
fies chemically, and when this has pro-
ceeded far enough, the grain is fed into
a kneading machine. After triturating
and kneading in this machine, the mass
is allowed to ferment or rise, like other
dough, before placing in the oven. Be-
sides the economy in labor there is a
lessening Of waste, and the yield of
bread from a given quantity Of grain
is 20 to 80 per cent or more greater
than that from grain that has been
made into flour. The dark and un-
palatable whOle-grain bread COM
planned of in some parts Of Italy is ex-
planned by an agricultural authority as
probably due to inferior wheat or poor
baking.

curbing Ravages of Aphis.

Announcement has been made by
the United States bureau of entomOl-
ogy that great success has attended
the efforts to combat the spinach
aphis which seriously attacked the
truck crops of Virginia year after
year. This has been accomplished by
the introduction of the spotted lady
bird, which is said to have proved
very effective in keeping down the
aphis. The first efforts in this direc-
tion were unsuccessful, owing to the
fact that there has been extensive re-
moval of trees and underbrush, and
this left no accommodations for the
Information of the lady birds, which
perished during the winter. This has
now been taken care of and the raw
ages Of the aphis greatly decreased.

Bill to Have County School Superin-
tendents Elected is Killed
Representative Daly's bill, provid-
ing for the election of the county
school superintendents by popular
vote, was killed in the House at
Dover Monday by vote of 16 yeas
to 13 nays. Two members answered
not voting and five were absent. The
bill fixed the salary at $500 year,
and contingent fund of 5000. The
superintendents at this time receive
81, 200 year and $4O0 as a conting-
ent fund. Mr.. DAILY, in advocating
the bill, stated that it would put the
authority for naming the superintend-
ents back in the hands of the people,
where it belongs. Mr.. Burris opposed
the bill on the ground that he did not
want to see the office of county super
intendents made football of politics.
The House bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Killen, prnViding for the
election of county school superintend-
ents by the school commissioners anC
clerks of the different counties, or
motion of Mr.. Killen, was recommit'
ted. The bill had been reported fav'
orably.

ANTl-SHIPPING BILL SIGNED

Governor Townsend Attaches His Sig
nature and Act Becomes a Law
Governor Townsend yesterday signed
the Loose anti-shipping bill, which is
now law, as the provisions of the bill
became effective Immediately after it
was signed by the governor. It is
now unlawful for any quantity of in
toxicating liquors to be shipped into
the 'dry" territory in Delaware, and
not more than one quart can be car
ried into the "dry" districts by any
one person. The action of Governor
Townsend in so promptly signing the
bill was expected, as he is a strong
prohibition advocate.

A Recognition Most CommendabIe

Editor Smyrna Times, Dear Sir
al am creditably informed that many
of the employers of the soldiers of the
National Guards, who have been on
military duty for the last seven
months. and have lately returned home,
have been paid their regular wages
for the time, in addition to the wages
paid by the General Government. This
shows a high appreciation Of their
service, both as workmen at home and
as soldiers of the U. S. Army. The
example is a commendable one and il
is hoped will he followed by all en-
ployers. Surely the sacrifice was
great and the cause most commend.
