In an effort to speed up its recon-
struction program and to employ fully
its greatly increased resources in skill
ed men, capital and equipment with as
little delay as possible, the Hercules
Powder Company has just established
a Department of Industrial Research,
with offices in the Finance Building,
Philadelphia. The purpose of this de-
partment will be to investigate indus
tries with a view to the company's
greater expansion outside the eXplo-
sives bushes.
Associated with N. P. Rood in the
Research Department are L. N. Bent,
technical manager, who was general
manager of the great government
smokeless powder plant at Nitro, West
Va; John Shaw, assistant general
manager, who was assistant technical
manager at Nitro, and a % of en-
g~ineers, chemists and men with finan-
cial and general business training in a
wide range of industries.

DUPONT Export Company

While residents of Wilmington and
Delaware nearly all know that the first
powder mill in the United States was
built by the DUPONT Co., in 1902, few
residents do know that the company,
as early as 1918, sixteen years after
its organization, had successfully en-
tered the export field and was making
large shipments of explosives to for
eign countries. Since the start the eX-
port business has grown to such an ex-
tent that E. |. dupont de Nemours and
Company found it necessary, starting
on March l, to open export headquart-
ers in New York and to conduct this
phase of the business, an entirely sep
arate corporation, known as r. L.
been organized.
Those men best trained in the eX-
port branch of the company's business
have been brought together to manage
the new corporation and its board of
directors is composed of directors of
sales of the various DUPONT industries,
including those concerns which manu-
facture heavy chemicals, proxylin,
mixtures, coal tar intermediates, coat
ed textiles, ivory substitutes, paint,
varnish, c%olors, d~yestuffs and dyestuff
intermediates.
All matters pertaining to sales, adj
vertising, transportation and other
phases of the foreign business will be
handled by the new corporation. The
trade conditions in foreign countries
will be given specialized study and to
even a greater extent than heretofore.
The organization of the new export
company is as follows:
President-F. w. Pickard.
Vice-President and Director of Sales
w. S. Gavan.
treasurer. D. Brown.
Secretary-Alexis l. DUPONT.
Board of Directors-F. C. Peters, c.
L. PETE, j. A. Burckel and LIE. HIATT.
Mr.. Pickard is v~ice-president in
charge of sales and a member of the
Executive Committee of the parent
corporation. Mr.. Gavan has been di-
recting head of the export division,
parent corporation, for many years.
Mr.. Brown is treasurer, and Mr.. du-
Pont, secretary of the E. I. DUPONT de
Nemours and Company, as well as for
the new company. Mr.. Peters is man.
ager of the New York composite office.
Mr.. Petze is vice-president and direc-
tor of sales of the DUPONT Fabrikoid
Company. Mr.. Burckel is director of
sales of the Arlington Works. Mr.
HIATT is director of sales of the paint
and varnish division.
The new company has branch offices
in San Francisco, Cal, Mexico City,
Mex, Rio de Janerio, Brazil and Lon
don, and expects to establish other
branches from time to time.

New Delaware Magazine

Louis J. Alleman, former manager
of the Playhouse, has announced that
he intends entering the publishing
field. Mr.. Alleman will start an illus
trated publication to be known as the
Delaware Magazine. 1t is intended
bringing out its first edition early in
April.
at will be an important part of the
policy of the Delaware Magazine to
encourage everything that tends to
benefit Delaware and its people and to
discourage everything that tends to
iniure them. 1t is my purpose to make
of it the official organ and the most
powerful mouthpiece of Delaware
boosters among practical and con-
structive lines.

FOR DRIVE FOR IRISH FREEDOM
st. Peters Advice Not Followed

81. refer S AdVlce NOT OllOWe
The campaign to raise funds under
the auspices Of the Friends of Irish
Freedom following out the resolutions
adopted at a meeting recently held in
Philadelphia, at which was present
some of the most gifted minds of the
Irish race, led by His Eminence James
Cardinal Gibbons, is now under way.
Headquarters have been opened at
the Hotel Nobis, 802 Market street,
Wilmington. The drive for Delaware's
share of the fund will be conducted
during the week of April SIP. Many
of Wilmington's most prominent men
are interested in the movement.-Wil-
mington Star.
Archbishop Cerretti, of Rome, who
is papal secretary of State, was in
America during January and directed
the meetings for the two million drive
for war funds on Great Britain. Car
dinal Gibbons is the pope of America.
When he says thumbs UP, thumbs go
up, or it is a sin to disobey authority.
When he says thumbs down, thumbs
go down .
The Roman Catholic hierarchy in
America is eXerting its power as never
before as a Church to interfere with
the government of Great Britain,
which is none of their business.
st. Peter told the Church in Asia
Il Peter 2:13-15) "Be We subject, to
every human creature for Gods sake,
whether it be to the king as excelling;
or to governors as sent by him for the
punishment of evildoers, and for the
praise of good. For so is the will of
God, that by doing well you may put
to silence the ignorance of foolish
men,"
Surely that also applies to Ireland.

Want Minority Stockholders

The DUPONT Powder Co. fight, which
has been pending in the courts for up
wards of three years, has finally got
ten into the State Legislature, Alfred
l. dupont, on behalf of minority stock
holders, having asked the Legislature
to so amend the State corporation law
as to guarantee minority stockholders
of corporations representation on the
board of directors.
This was made possible, following the
reading of Mr.. duPont's request, con-
tanned in a letter to Senator Walker,
when the Senate by a vote of 9 to 8, in
the face of protest, decided to open the
door to this piece of new business,
although the door had been closed for
some time by concurrent action on the
part of both houses.

Best Method Of Fighting Them

6GSG WCIHV0 W thShs's6
The method recommended by the
agricultural colleges and used sue
cessfully in Hancock county, across
the Mississippi from Lee, is the
poison bran method.
This is the same mixture used
against grasshoppers and cutworms.
One pound of Paris green or Lon
don purple is mixed with twenty-five
mounds of bran in dry condition.
Six lemons or oranges finely chopped
are added to two quarts of low grade,
strong scented molasses. and this
mixture made up to about two gal
Ions by the addition of water. This
mixture is added to the dry one.
Enough water should be used to
make a stiff mash which will crumble
when sown.
This poison bran may be used in
a strip across the path Of travel or
may be sown broadcast where the
worms are Twenty-Five pounds OF
bran should be spread over two or
more acres. This poison should be
spread late in the evening say be-
tween sunset and dark as the prin-
cipal feeding time is from late in
the evening uHIl carly hoi hihS. hS
success of the poison comes from
serving It while moist, as it is more
'palatable in this condition. Two
pounds Of lead arsenate may replace
one pound of Paris green.
Some Other Means Used.
A poison spray may be used In
some cases The poison should be
used at the rate Of one pound Of
Paris green to fifty gallons Of water;
or on vegetation likely to be injured
by burning two pounds dry lead
arsenate and ten pounds salt to fifty
gallons Of water. Live stock should
not be allowed to eat the sprayed
grass until after the poison is wash
ed off by rains. Meadows that are
already infested should be cut for
hay as soon as possible.
There are numerous natural enc
mics of the army worm. Many are
eaten by birds, skunks. toads. hogs
and chickens. Perhaps half the
worms found have fly eggs deposited
on their backs near their head. When
the maggots hatch they enter the
body of the worms and develop as
parasites. They will not develop fast
enough to prevent the worms eating

Devastation Is Immense.

The city denizen can hardly realize
the damage done by an army OF these
worms advancing over the farms.
They eat things clean as they 60,
leaving the fence posts and brush,
but little else. They simply kill all
the corn and growing grain and
meadows and eat it up. How so small
q worm can eat so much is one of
the amazing things in nature.
AS a natural consequence OF tnls
voraciousness and movement an
army of this worm can do ABOUT as
much damage in couple OF weeks
as an army of Huns IN Belgium.
With present prices of grain, total
damage in Lee county running into
of thousands of dollars Is
not beyond what might be expected.

Grand Tactics In This War.

The life of the worm and the army
is only a couple of weeks, and way
has been worked out for combating
them. Some years ago, the farmer
simply watched them progress across
his fields and gave up hope of saving
any of the crop. :
In the old days, some little good
was done by blowing a furroW IN ad-
vance of the army. sort OF front
line trench to resist the enemy and
then dragging log back and forth
in the furrow as the army crossed
it. But this never was nearly ade-
ouate, as most Of the army got across
by sheer mass and numbers.
The modern method is to poison
them. County Agent J. H. Lloyd OF
Hancock county, Illinois, took instant
command when the army appeared
there ten days ago and by thoroughly
organizing his own forces actually
stopped the invasion of the army
worm-a feat which would win him
fame in any other kind OF work, for
It was a remarkable success IN a
campaign against great odds. 1t ls
too early yet to forecast the results
In Lee county where the army OF
worms are mobilizing just now ready
for real devastation.
