Proper Way to Keep Honey.

In selling honey as a substitute for
sugar the retail grocer and his Gus
toners may encounter some difficulty
through lack of knowledge of storing
and handling this product, according
to American Food Journal. House
wives usually put their honey in the
cellar for safekeeping, probably the
worst possible place, as honey absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere and
will become thin and in time sour.
Comb honey kept in a damp place will
be hurt in appearance as well as in
quality. A practicable rule is to keep
honey in any place where salt remains
dry. If honey has granulated or can
died, put the can containing 1t in a
large vessel holding water no hotter
than the hand can be borne in. If
the water is too hot, there is danger
of spelling the color and running the
flavor of the honey. The can of honey
should be supported on a block Of
wood In the vessel Of water, so that
the heat from the stove will not be
too intense.

COLONEL HAD LAST WORD
Officers Joke Was All Right Until the
Commander Got Tired Of
Hearing II.

A well-knOwn French colonel had
mania for questioning his officers about
their families, invariably starting off
with: "What is your fathers prOfes.
sion, your mothers, and your sis.
ter's?'
Some of the subalterns became SO
wearied of this endless repetition that
they decided among themselves to give
each in turn the following reply
'My father is a shoemaker, my moth.
er is a laundress, and my sister is
very flighty."
On the following Sunday, after the
customary church parade, the colonel,
who had already received the same
answer to his questions from two OF
three of the officers, turned to another
and started off in the old stereotypeS
strain: "What is your fathers profes.
siOn?"
''He Is a shoemaker" ,sg.
"And your mother'sP'
"She is a laundress."
''That will do" interrupted thu

Times Cannot be Less Than S1.5O a
Year in advance, Its New Rate.
With the announcement that the
subscription price of The Smyrna
Times is to be on and after October
/, 1918, $3.50 a year in advance,
number who are up and beyond Oc-
tober 1st are coming in to pay still
further at the old rate. This by an
order of the War Industries Board of
the United States would be against
the Federal rules even if we had in
tended such. Additional regulations
promulgated Saturday has it that:
"No publisher shall sell his paper at
retail less than his published price"
This along with a previous Federal
ruling that "no publisher may con-
tinue subscriptions after three months
after date of expiration, unless sub
scriptions are renewed and paid for, -
makes it important that every sub
scriber of the Times, see to it that
he is paid up and in advance by Octo-
Der 1st. The Government is doing
everything to conserve the paper sup
ply and publishers must make sworn
statements showing they are abiding
by the rules as laid down by the Wal
Industries Board.

Women and the Movies.

I believe the next generation of
women will be more interesting in
every way. because of the stimulus
given to their lives by the motion
pictures. notice so much difference
in the women 1 meet since the pic
lures have become popular. The en-
tire world has been visualized for
them; it has been like universal edu-
cation. Not merely for the women who
have lacked advantages, mind you, but
more especially for the type of women
whose outlook has been limited by
their intellectual concepts-who could
not be made to believe that there was
anything worth while outside of their
special circle of culture.-Margartta
Fischer, in Film Fun.

An Italian physician, Prof. Domenico

The base of his discovery lies In his

NEWARK, Nov. 29.-Lieutensnt VIII
liam Fitzpatrick, a former Delaware
College student OF the class Of 10. gave
residents OF Newark and vicinity some
real thrills yesterday morning when he
did couple Uf loop the loops over the
town. Hundreds OF people who saw
the machine when It looped the loop the
first time over the eastern end Of New
ark were sure that the airman had lost
control OF the plane and that 1t was
going to fall. The pilot, however. soon
had the plane sailing along again as
gracefully as bird and many residents
drew long breaths Of relief.
In few more seconds the machine
was directly over. the Delaware Col
iege athletic field and lower 10 the
ground when It did another loop the
loop, and falling leaf stunts. Even more
persons were watching ii by this time
and most OF them were sure the car
was going to crash to the ground.
Again the pilot demonstrated that he
had perfect control OF the airship when
he righted Il and sailed over the town
circling around and getting lower all the
time.
He landed on the Wilson property,
along Elkton Road Just on the outskirts
of Newark.
Most OF those who had been watch
Ing the stunts of the plane were now
sure that It was a forced landing and
That there was trouble OF some kind.
Hundreds flocked to the spot where
the machine made a perfect landing,
among them a number OF Delaware Col
lege students. They were greatly sur
prlsed on being greeted by Lieutenant
Fitzpatrick. He was accompanied by
Sergeant Unruh, as mechanic.
Lieutenant Fitzpatrick IS stationed at
Brinsley Field Cammack, Long Island,
and Is out on a cross-country NY. He
left Long Island on Wednesday and
spent that night In Chester. Yesterday
morning he resumed the trip and Is
reported 10 have done some thrilling

outbreak OF the war he joinel a New
York National Guard regiment, his
home being in that city, but was later
transferred TO the aviation section and
received his commission at Kelley
Field, Texas. He has been at Brinsley
Field for several months. On two dif-
ferent occasions. Lieutenant Fitzpat-
rick was on transports in New Hork
