naisSance to the present. Any one,
outside of this new movement. so you
say, would never have seen this logi-
cal sequence or, seeing it, would have
buried it deep in words This is a
an orderly one. 1t is filled with great
figures and high deeds and the march
of progress, with all of which you
will have the sense of personal par
taking. This effect is due, in the
sympathy with the subject, to his own
convictions about it, and to the keen
sense of drama that causes him to
set aside all the clutter of detail in
! order that the great moments here
may have ample space and freedom.
All through the story you will ap-
preciate, deeply and personally, the
purpose underlying it. You Will count

edge, a vital part of life-"humar- :
, izing knowledge" Then, at the very

step, up beside Sidney Dark's conclu-
sion. You will say something like
this: Looking upon the Renaissance,
, just as it is presented here. it is not
possible for me to look upon it as a
backward step in political growth
| as something decidedly less beneficial
ceeded. True, in the great religious
/ community that constituted the most
of Europe before the Renaissance

great collective community. The rein

advocates, and Mr.. Dark and others
of socialistic trend, will it not through

LARGE IMPORTS

Daily Demand for Gasoline

NEW YORK, March 19.-The av.

products for domestic and foreign
consumption in 1923 was 20,701, 786,
while the average daily output was
20,701, 220, according to a compila-
ton made by Carl H. Pforzheimer
& Co., specialists in oil securities.
Imports of gasoline during the
this resulted in an increase to
stocks. Consumption Of gas and
fuel oils for domestic and export
use, rose to 33,914,S15 gallons daily
again which refinery output was
33,O79,977 gallons daily. The
shortage was made UP by the i'm.
portation of 516,022,937 gallons,
which resulted in an increase of a
little over 200,000,000 gallons to
stocks. Lubricants showed healthy
growth in domestic demand, but
while imports decreased, the total
supply was 100000 gallons in ex-
cess Of total consumption. Kero-
sene production and consumption
showed little change over the year
and a decline in export demand
resulted in decrease of less than
1 per cent In total consumption.

PLANT PATHOLOGISTS MAKE
INSPECTION GRAPE VINEYARDS
DIR. T. F. MANS OF U. OF D., NEW
ARK VISITS SEVERAL IN KENT
Majority of Growers in For Bumper
CrOps-Black Rot, However, Ap-
pears in More or Less Quantities

Several of the large commercial
grape vineyards in the vicinities of
Dover and Wyoming were visited on
Monday of last week by DR.. T. F.
Manns, Plant Pathologist of the Ag-'
ricultural Experiment Station of the
University of Delaware, and County
Agent Russell E. Wilson for the pur-
pose of securing more accurate infor-
nation concerning the prevalence of
black rot.
Among the vineyards inspected
were those of N. w. Taylor, H. w.
Marvin, Jay H. Hipwell, S. J. Hall,
Ed Willim and F. F. Danner. A few
days previous to making this special
trip several of the other large vine
yards in these communities were Wis
tied and notatiOns made as to the ex-
tent of disease and insect injuries
common to the grape in this section
of the country. In this manner suf-
ticient data may be gathered to en-
able the formation of a practical and
effective spray schedule for this crop
each season.
According to observations taken in
these vineyards this spring it is evil
dent that the majority of the grow
ers are having good success in their
control of black rot, for very few vine
yards showed heavy infection and
many of them were practically free
from this trouble. The most import
ant fact that has been demonstrated
this season in connection with the
work on black rot control is the
necessity of the growers getting the
first application of spray material on
the vines when the new growth is
from one-half to three fourths inch
in length.
The results as obtained in the dem
Onstrational plots in Mr.. Taylor's
vineyard near Lebanon this season
have proven conclusively that the
early application of Bordeaux mix
ture is the most essential one in the
proper control of this disease. The
sixth application was given a section
of this vineyard Monday, and on the
check plot there was noted a very
severe outbreak of black rot showing
that the infection becomes establish
ed very early in the spring. After
this disease once becomes established
in the vines there is absolutely no
method of controlling it, but later
applications of the Bordeaux will pre-
vent the remainder of the vines and
fruit clusters from becoming infest-
ed, and in this manner it may be held
in check for the rest of the growing
period of the fruit.
/ Black rot is carried over from one
season to the next on the old canes
and it is for this particular reason
that so much emphasis is being plac-
ed on the Importance of growers hav.
ing their vines well covered with
spray material before the disease ha.
an opportunity to develop and shoe
spores which are the means of it
spreading to other parts of the vine.
With our increasing interest j
grape culture and the excellent man
ner in which our growers are takin
care of their vineyards it is only
matter of a short time until this Sc,
tion of the United States will be n,
tionally known as the greatest graz
producing region in the Unite
States.

TWO GIRLS WIN SCHOLARSHIPS
Wilmington and Wyoming Girls Win
Awards of University Women

Wilmington and Wyoming Girls Win
Awards of University Women
Miss Fairlee Habbart, daughter of
Rev. William f. Habbart, pastor of
Harrison Street NJ. f. Church, Will
mingtOn, and Miss Lillian Benson,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilmer K.
Benson, of Wyoming, Del, were an
nOunced Friday as the winners of the
5000 scholarships offered by the Del
aware Branch of the American As
sOciatiOn of University Women. The
scholarships of 5000 apiece, were
awarded to the above girls on the
grounds of the all-around showing
made by them among girl High
School graduates of the State of Del
aware, this year.
Miss Habbart and Miss Benson won
over fifteen other girls who entered
the scholarship contest. Both girls
have scholastic records that are
second to none in the State. They
were chosen, following an examina-
ton, by committee representing the
Delaware Branch of the University
Women, composed as follows: Mrs.
Hugh Morris, chairman; Miss Quasita
Drake, Miss Caroline Fitzwalter, Miss
Jane Richards and Mrs. H.Lee Bartle-
son.
Miss Habbart was the honor stu
dent at the Wilmington High School
graduation exercises this spring.
Among several other prizes and
scholarships won by her at that time
was the Alumni prize of $1OO. She
will enter Dickinson College in the
fall, using the 5000 scholarship Just
won. Miss Benson is an honor grad
uate of the Caesar Rodney High
School, near Wyoming. Her record,
like Miss Habbart, is very high.
The University WOmens' Scholar
ship fund was started several years
ago by the Misses Mary A. Mather
and Alice Smyth, who gave $1,000 for
the purpose. Since then the fund has
been gradually added to by the uni
versity women until the scholarships
amounts have grown from one SlOO
scholarship per year to two 5000 ones
each year.
