INFORMATION BUREAU NOTES

Inquiries are coming in very fast.
They have picked up considerably in
the past few days. Nearly all the
inquiries have been of a general char
acter.
Frank S. Lloyd, who is chaperoning
the Senior Glass on their trip to Wash
ington, stopped in at the Board of
Trade Office on the boardwalk and
took ten bundles of wildwood book
lets, averaging between 900 and 400
in each bundle, approximately $500
booklets, to distribute on the way to
Washington. The graduating class
will also put up road signs between
Wilmington, Del, and Baltimore, Nd.
Charles Burke, fire marshal of the
third ward, went to Syracuse, N. Y,
by train last Wednesday. He returned
in a motor truck which he bought
there. He took 500 Board of Trade
booklets with him to distribute on the
way back. This is a good stunt for
anyone desiring to boost Wildwood and
thereby boost himself.

insect on the leaves Of oak trees.
Masses of these eggs cling to the
under side Of the leaf, and as they
advance toward maturity they dnH

any number Of eggs to ones ear
cracking sound may be heard. Ike the
splitting Of electric sparks. The shell
contains a tiny grub. working for re-

In many towns collections OF the
eggs are on exhibition. When Laid
on a table these eggs bound about
and spring into the air, sometimes to

TT IS surprising that someone did not

skirts, suits and one-piece frocks have
supplemented the indispensable sweat
ef and scarf. The knitted cape made
its entry this season and bids fair

both quiet and high colors. with deep
collars Of angora wool, in white or col
ors and are worn as sweater and
sweater-coats are, by young and old.
They are distinct asset in the ward

means a great deal, in additional
beauty and "class," to them.
