STANDARD PACKAGES FOR
DELAWARE APPLE GROWERS
URGED AT A MEETING HELD IN
DOVER LAST THURSDAY
Standard Bushel Hamper For Apples
Adopted Strawberry Shippers to
Consider Question Next Tueday.

Representatives of the apple grow
ers of Kent county met representatives
of the railroad administration in
Dover on Thursday morning, May 1,
to discuss the standardization of ap-
pie packages. The apple growers pre-
sented their views of what they con-
sidered the ideal package for Della
ware apples, and it is ossible that
this package will be officially adopted
as the standard bushel hamper for
apples in the whole United States.
The officials desire to meet the
strawberry growers, and also the
growers of all other fruits and veg
etables, and at their request a meet
ing has been called by the State
Board of Agriculture, to be held at
Georgetown, on Tuesday, May 13, at
1.30, and another meeting will be held
at Brdgeville, on Thursday, May Is,
at 1.30 p. M, to accommodate the
growers on the western side of the
county. A number of agencies are in
terested in promoting the Standard
zation of fruit and vegetables pack
ages. The fundamental purpose of
the movement is prevent waste and
loss in the shipping of perishable
products, and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, the Food Administra-
ton and the Railroad Administration
are all interested in the movement.
Standard packages for fruits and
vegetables from the southeastern part
of the United States have already
been adopted, and after the first of
July, of this year, no claims for
losses will be allowed unless these
products are shipped in approved
packages. BY holding meetings with
farmers and the manufacturers of
the packages it is expected that
standard packages for Delaware and
surrounding States will be adopted
and will be put in force for next year
1t is the desire of the railroad admin
istration to take care of the interest
of all classes of people and time will
be given to use packages that arc
already manufactured.

LUXURY IN EARLY TRAVEL
"Safety 5arges" Instituted for Those
Who Feared Hazard of Voyage
on Hudson River.

The frequency with which boilers
blew up on the early Hudson river
boats led to the use of what were
known as safety harges." and these,
In their day, were considered the
utmost luxury in travel, comparable to
the private cars of the magnates or
today. The barges were boats with
main and upper decks and were al
most as large as the steamers which
towed them. The rabble rode on the
steamers, inhaled the smells of the
kitchen and the freight holds, endured
the noise Of the engines, and took the
chances Of explosions. while on the
barges behind the elite Travelled In
luxurious state. Food was brought
from the boat kitchen to the barge
saloon over a swaying bridge be-
tween the vessels and was served
with great aplomb under the direction
Of the barge captain, who was a noble
figure In the setting.
The upper decks Of the barges were
canopied and decked with flowers.
with prOmenades and easy chairs from
which to view the scenery. At night
the interiors were transformed into
sleeping accommodations much the
same as a modern Pullman, except that
they were more commOdiOus. Not the
least attractive feature of these harges,
according to a chrOnicler of their ex-
cellence, was ian elegant bar, most
sumptuously supplied with all that can
be desired by the most fastidiOus and
thirsty"
Recent news dispatches which tell
of plans to establish floating cafes on
the ocean just outside the three-mile
territorial limit when the nation goes
dry, indicate that luxurious floating
establishments somewhat similar tC
these safety barges" may again come
into use.

Find a Moth ExtermInator.

Experiments of the bureau of ento-
mOlogy, United States department OF
agriculture, have demonstrated that
naphthalene is uniformly effective In
protecting wOolens from clothes moth
infection and in killing all stages Of
the insect, says the Des MOines Reg
lister. A red cedar chest readily killed
all adult moths and showed consider
able killing effect upon young larvae.
It did not prevent the Matching OF
eggs, but killed all of the resulting
larvae almost Immediately. Red ce-
dar chips and shavings, while not en-
tirely effective in keeping the adult
moths from laying eggs on the flannel
treated, appeared to protect it from
appreciable damage when used lib
orally.

Burgundy at Its Best.

Burgundy wines of 1915 are report
ed by the most eminent connoisseurs
Of Paris to be the best since 1865. In
fact their verdict is perfect"
The summer Of 1915 was hot, so
was the autumn, with light rains now
and again at exactly the right inter-
walls. M. Matthew, celebrated savant
on the subject Of wines, writes: "Since
1865 there has been no Burgundy like
that of 1915 in delicacy or strength
The 1915 vintage is remarkable syn
thesis Of bouquet, aroma, body and
flavor"
But of course all this is of merely
academic interest to us.

Beatrice was invited to a birthday
party and, womanlike, she wanted a
new frock. Her mother, finding the
child's party dress in good condition,
refused to buy another. Her father,

She brought it and he said: "Why,
Beatrice, it is very pretty! I've never

Less Crime. Fewer carpets.

There does not at first glance seem
to be much connection between crime
and carpets, says the London Daily
Mail, but it is a fact that the decrease
in crime brought about in India, as
elsewhere, by the war has led to a
decrease in the supply of Indian car
pets. The reason is that most Of these
carpets, especially the finer and more
expensive kinds, are made by convicts.

They are made entirely by hand, so
It is a case Of few convicts few carpets,

Monkey as Labor Possibility.

The pig-tailed macaque or brok Of
the Malays Is a highly intelligent an
imal, and the Malays train them to
pick cOcOnuts. The modus operandi is
described by r. w. G. Shelford in "a
Naturalist in BOrneO." A cord is fast
ened round the monkeys waist and it
is led to the cOconut palm, which it
rapidly climbs. 1t then lays hold Of a
nut, and If the owner judges the fruit
to be ripe for plucking he shouts to the
monkey, which then twists the nut
round and round till the stalk is bro
ken and lets it fall to the ground. If
the monkey catches hold Of an unripe
fruit the owner tugs the cord and the
monkey tries another. have seen q
brok act as a very efficient fruitpicker
although the use of the cord was dis
pensed with altogether, the monkey be
ing guided by the tones and infections

SCIENTIST TELLS OF TRIUMPH
System for Underground and Sub

Speaking recently Of his work for the
navy, Prof. James r. Rogers, the in
ventor of a wireless system for under
ground and submarine transmission,
stated: "Six or seven years ago, /
began experiments with the transmits
sion of electric impulses by the ground.
They were renewed during the war
with the audion bulb, which renders
the receiving apparatus more sensitive.
l first established contact with near
by points and before long received with
perfect distinctness impulses sent from
Europe. placed my antennae in
trenches radiating from a center and
pointing by the compass toward the
distant station from which / wished
to receive. l demonstrated to the navy
department that eight operators may
receive at once from eight separate
wires. My system was installed at
New. Orleans, the Great Lakes station,
and Belmar, N. Y. and is now used
at the principal wireless stations in the
United States. I have found the best
results with my wires buried six feet
| below the surface in damp ground.
Some of my experiments were conduct
ed in water 25 to so feet deep."-Scien-

Causeway to Wilmington Rebuilt.

Engineer Upham is to prepare
plans and specifications for the build
ing of the causeway from the ap-
proach to the Christiana River bridge,
Wilmington, to a point one mile south
of it. This stretch of road has for
years been a bone of contention to
Wilmington and New Castle county
both the city and county agreeing
that the road should be built, but each
contending that the cost should fall
upon he other. The action of the
State Highway Commission in decid-
ing to build the road will relieve both
Wilmington and New Castle county
of the responsibility.

Surely the delegates do not hope have the impress

The democratic spirit that the is sup
posed have fostered will not have much patience
with a policy secrecy dictated for the protection
of anybody's dignity. Nobody much for
the kind of personal dignity that suffers in a fair,
open fight
What democracy is very apt to think, matter
what advanced is that the secrecy clause
conceived for the deliberate purpose of gagging
the American representatives who. asking nothin g
for themselves and only fairness and justice for
others, have powerful weapon in publicity if they
have the privilege and the will to use it.
Representatives of the press, in contendng for
formal sessions Versailles are fighting

ernments which would lock the doors must be
ashamed to have the world know what they propose
to demand.

FrankIin's Wisdom.

This is the birthday anniversary Of Ben Fran
in. whose writings and sayings are especially
ropriate at this time. Here are some OF them:
II you would be wealthy, think OF saving
as we'll as of getting. Let US then be up and
doing to the purpose One today is worth two
tomorrows. Never leave that till tomorrow
which you can do today. We may make these
times even better if we bestir ourselves. In
dustry need not wish, and he that lives upon
hope will die fasting.
A little neglect may breed great mischief;
for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want
of shoe the horse was lost; for want of
horse the rider lost, being overtaken and
slain by the enemy; all for want of little
care about horseshoe nail.
Friends, the taxes are indeed very heavy,
and if those laid on by the government were
the only ones we had to pay, we might more
easily discharge them, but we have many
others and much more grievous to some Of us.
We are taxed twice as much by our idleness,
three times as much by our pride, and four
times as much by our folly, and from these
taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver
US by allowing an abatement. However, let
us hearken to good advice and something may
be done for us. God helps them that help
themselves.
However, remember this, they that will not
be counseled cannot be helped; and further,
that if you will not hear to reason, she will
surely rap your knuckles.
When you incline to have new clothes,
look first we'll over the old ones and see If you
cannot shift with them another year, either by
securing, mending, even patching, if neces-
sary. Remember, patch your coat and
money in your pocket is better and more
creditabIe than writ on your back and no
money to take it off.
man may if he knows not how to save
as he GETS keep his all his life to the
grindstone and die not worth a groat at last
Away with your expensive follies, and you
will not then have so much cause to complain
OF hard times, heavy taxes, and chargeable
families.
You may think, perhaps, that a little tea,
or a little punch now and then, diet little
more costly, clothes little finer, and little
entertainment now and then can be Of no great
matter; but remember many little makes

leak will sink great ship.
