r. Is difficult sometimes to think
Of something "different for the
lleHn of an informal summer party
and the easily discouraged hostess
may decide finally to have the same
old refreshments, after vowing So
lcnnly that she would not. There
are always such consideration as
the taste of the guests tlarket pos
sibilifies and convenience in serv.
ing to influence her choice.
nSeasonable foods are generally
welcome and it is wise plan to
choose from these, making such
changes as we see fit in their prep
aration. Strange as it my seem,
men like a hot dish no matter what
the weather may be. while women
are inclined toward cold foods. At
arecont Mah-Jongg party "a hostess
served what it p.eased her to call
ssparrow pies. The filling Of the
ipoths6me pies was dehciously
creamed squads. Hot coffee and

with the pies. Then she served
ice cream sandwiches made Of
coffee. cream and homemade cup
cake. with hot caramel fudge
sauce.
Ice Cream Usad
The guests were delighted with
the repast and the hostess declared
that the feast had been easily and
quickly served and also economical.
The ice cream sandwiches were
made as they were needed. The
pies left over were good reheated
for home consumption the next
day. Individual service always
pays. Tiny chicken or duck pies
can be substituted if more eonven-

Special Filler Needed

The running board filling station
has become almost part of the car,
especially during the touring sea-
son. There is an over increasing
demand for these touring units that
prove to be friend in need when
the ear runs out of fuel or wafer.
These sets consist of three CON
tainers which are held in a case
that is clanlped to the running
board. The unit is compact, sub
stantial and does not dctract from
the appearance of the car. The
three containers are painted differ
ent colors to avoid any confusion
regarding their contents.
The outstanding feature of this
set is that the spouts swing back
when not. in use and are fitted into
depressions in the tops of the con
tainers. This operation also closes
the valve in the spout, thereby
eliminating any possible waste. The
gasoline and water containers hold
two gallons each and the oil can
carries slightly over a gallon.

DIES FROM AUTO INJURIES
Howard Walls, Dead; Sidney Fore
man, COlOred, Driver of Car, in Jail

Howard Walls, Dead; Sidney Fore
man, COlOred, Driver of Car, in Jail
Howard Walls died at the Marshall
Hospital Monday night of injuries
which he sustained when he was run
into by an automobile driven by Sid
ney Foreman, colored The accident
occurred early last Friday morning.
Walls, who was employed by Petty
Johns bakery, as driver for the deliv-
cry truck, was standing on the street
in the rear of his truck unloading
bread to take into the store of Ma
thaniel Prettyman, at the corner Of
West Front street and Carlisle Lane,
Milford. While thus engaged the
automobile driven by Foreman crash
ed into him. Both legs were frac-
tured by the blow received when he
was struck and he was otherwise cut
and crushed Walls was taken i'm
mediately to the Marshall Hospital
for treatment, but he did not rally
much after being admitted. Death
was expected long before it finally
took the injured man.
Following the accident Foreman,
the driver of the death dealing auto
mobile. was arrested and taken be-
fore Justice Of the Peace HendriXon
who fined him $100 and costs on the
charge of reckless driving. He had
been before the same magistrate
about two weeks previous on reck-
less driving charge. The fine was
paid and the man released. On Sat
urday night it was reported that
Walls was dead, and the officers again
arrested the man to be held to await
| the action of the state authorities
He was taken to Georgetown on Mon
day and placed in the county jail
| there. On his own behalf Foreman
claims that the early morning sur
flashed into his eyes an instant before
the crash and that he was blinded by
the SUMS rays. He was going in sucl
a direction at the time that it is pos
sible for such thing to have occur

dent will in all probability be aske,

DELAWARE APPLES ARE NOW IN
DEMAND FOR MINCEMEAT PIES
MARKET DEVELOPED FOR FRUIT
THAT is ONE STATES BIG CROPS
Bureau of State Board of Agriculture
Sees a Better Future For the Sale
of -Orchardists Pleased

Bureau Of State Board of Agriculture
Sees a Better Future For the Sale
of Apples-Orchardists Pleased
Delaware apple growers, who last
week shipped hundreds of barrels of
apples to European markets, are wait
ing with great interest and consider
able financial anxiety to learn how
the Delaware apples will fare in COM
petition with European fruit this fall.
Last year early shipments of ap-
pies abroad brought fine returns to
Delaware apple growers, but this year
conditions are not so optimistic. Last
fall some apples brought as high as
$12 barrel, but the growers this fall
believe that if they obtain from So to
SO a barrel they will be doing well.
To the rains of the early spring are
blamed much of the scab that has at
tackled some of the fruit. This scab
does not harm the apple as far as
the taste and quality goes, but 1t
ruins its appearance. Many apple
growers have been worried about
where they could find a market for
apples with the scab and also for
cracked apples. They applied to W.
7. Derickson, chief of the Bureau of
Markets of the State Board of Agri-
culture, and this move proved an in
spiration for the growers. Chief Der
ickson got busy and as a result Del
aware apple growers last week sold
from 40 to so carloads of apples at
tackled with the scab to a mincemeat
manufacturer. For making mince-
meat the apples are just as good as
any others, the scab only being OF
the skin. While mincemeat manufac
turers have bought apples in Della
ware before, there has never beer
such a wholesale distribution of frui'
as occurred last week. The manufac
turer got good fruit at a cheap price
and the growers obtained a sale fol
fruit that they had thought must gC
to waste. While the returns were
not as heavy as it would have beer
for fine fruit, yet they were able t.
make a small profit on the deal.
The marketing of fall apples viii
start in this week. Government in
spectors will look over all the fin
fruit that is raised in lower Delawar
and in this way Delaware apples vii
stand just as good chance for find
ing a market as fruit from the SOutl
or West.
The market for pears raised in Del
aware has not been as good this fal
as in other years. The pears ar
small, some Kiefers being not an
larger than sickle pears and conse
quently the growers could not Obtai
any fancy price for them. A grove
who can obtain 20 to 80 cents a basB
ct for this small fruit will feel salts
fed.
