Study Personality and
Know Lines and Colors

The woman who is blessed with
fashion sense does not go off at a
tangent and hastily adopt every new
mode that comes along. Instead, she
studies it carefully in relation to her
own personality and when she finds
what is most satisfactory adheres to
a general scheme Of line and color
throughout her entire wardrobe. In
this way she achieves certain har-
mony which is the underlying prin-
ciple of true smartneSs.
One of the best dressed women in
Paris follows plan in the selection
of her wardrobe which may offer hints
to other women whose dress allow
ance is not elastic and who cannot at
ford to make mistakes which are al
ways costly.

Shoe Buckles Are Among
Important Accessories

In these times, when attention is
given to the elaboration of the small
est details Of dress, shoe buckles are
among the important accessories. From
the most prominent shops abroad are
hrought countless designs, novel and
artistic, many being set with jewels
and semi precious stones.
Some regard a ribbon bow as smart
or for oxfords and colonial pumps,
but evening shoes are trimmed with
the most ornate and expensive buckles,

KILLING OF WOOD DUCKS
is UNLAWFUL IN DELAWARE
Game Warden LeFeVre Says o. S.
Government Protects Fowl

/ Chief Game Warden John P. Le-
Fevre, has received the following no
tice from the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, relative to wood ducks
being protected:
Notices from Florida, that the
ban on killing wood ducks had been
lifted, are incorrect, says the BiolO-
gical Survey, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Persons killing
these beautiful birds, says the bur-
eau, are liable to find themselves in
serious legal difficulties. Under the
treaty with Great Britain for the
protection of migratory birds, which
became effective on December z,
1916, wood ducks are given special
protection, and the Federal regula-
tions do not provide an open season
anywhere in the United States dur
ing which they may be hunted and
killed. Until such open seasons are
provided and proclaimed by the
President the special protection af-
forded these birds under the treaty,
remains in force, and persons kill
ing them are liable to a fine of $500
or Imprisonment for six months, or
to both fine and Imprisonment. State
laws or regulation providing open
seasons on wood ducks are of no
effect, as the Federal law, under the
treaty, predominates except in cases
where State laws give greater pro-
lection to migratory birds.

NO MAIL DELIVERIES
ON CHRISTMAS IS PLAN
New Would Have P. o. Employers
Enjoy Day For First Time

An advance Christmas present for
mail carriers and most other postal
employees came from Postmaster
General New in the form of an an
nouncement that no deliveries of
ordinary mail would be made
Christmas day.
From midnight, December "a, to
midnight December 25, all postal
operations will be suspended, eX-
cept the maintenance of special de-
livery and the "relay" of mails, so
that they will be ready when nor
NAL delivery is resumed.
"It is realized that this expert
ment is a great undertaking" said
Mr.. New, "but it is believed it is in
line with the sentiments of the pub
lie, if this can be done without too
great loss of service. 1T is conf
IDENTIFY hoped it will succeed, and
that our large force of workers in
the field may, for the first time,
have the benefit of real holiday"
To make possible the Christmas
shutdown, the mail early cam
paign has been launched already
with renewed vigor. Postmasters
have been directed to solicit help OF
chambers of commerce
school teachers, theatres, motion
picture houses and every other pub
licity agency to stimulate coopera-
tion. i

STATE AGRONOMTST STARTS
WHEAT VARIETY TESTS
Experimental Station Hopes To De-
veIOp A Better Yielding Variety

Under the direction of Professor
George L. Schuster, Agronomist of
the Experiment Statipn, wheat var
iety tests are being conducted on
two outlying fields. One of these
fields is on the farm of ]. D. Rey-
nolds near Middletown. The other
field is on the farm of NJ. c. Vaughn
near Coolspring. Professor Schus-
ter says the wheat crop of Delaware
is valued at three and one-half mil
lion dollars and that some research
work needs to be done to determine
the best producing varieties for our
lighter sandy soils that prevail in
some sections. The climate is also
so variable in the state that all var
ieties will not behave alike. 1t is
his plan to carry these tests on for
several years in order to determine
the varieties best suited for differ
ent sections of the state. A test OF
one year is not very reliable be-
cause the weather conditions of that
year may be favorable for one par
ticular variety. The varieties on
test are pure varieties of known
origin and have been prOpagated at
the College Experimental farm at
Newark. Eight varieties have been
selected from fifty varieties that

WATCH NURSERY STOCK
FOR JAPANESE BEETLE
Notice Says Nursery Stock Bought
Outside State Should Be Inspected

With a view to safeguarding as
thoroughly as possible the nursery
stocks of Delaware from possible
infection by the Japanese beetle, w.
E. Cranston, director of. the Japan
ese Beetle Quarantine Office, located
in Wilmington has issued the follow
ing notice:
"All nursery and greenhouse stock
bought outside of the State of Della

found to be free from the Japanese

quired by law, but to protect your
greenhouses and the State from the
japanese beetle we recommend this
means of protection.
These certificates will not be sent
with the order unless you demand
them from the dealer from whom
you are buying. AS many as %

| YEAR in JAIL FOR
MAN WHO ALTERED
CERTIFICATE OF TITLE
Harry Robinson, Negro, Of Ellen
dale, First To Be Convicted
Under This Law.
MAN HAD ALTERED TITLE
Before Selling Automobile, Robin
son Had Erased Lien From
The Paper.

Harry Robinson of Glendale, was
arrested by Corporal Raymond D.
Ingram and William D. Lank, of the
State Police last Friday upon a
charge preferred against him by S.
D. Prouse, head of the State Auto
mobile Titling Department for alter
ing a certificate of title. He was ar
raigned before Magistrate William
H. Wilson of Georgetown and in de-
fault of $4,000 bail was committed to
the Sussex county Jail.
From the evidence in the case, it
appears that Robinson sold a Ford
touring car to Robert P. Short, also
of Ellendale, on October 81, for cash
Robinson appeared before Justice of
the Peace James H. Jester, of Ellen
dale, and made an affidavit that he
was conveying to Short, a clear til
tlefto the car, when, as a matter of
fact the Kent County Motor Com
pany held a lien for S18 against it.
Robinson had erased the amount of
the lien from the certificate of title
and the erasures were detected by
tn state titling department, which
led to his arrest.
This is the first arrest that has
been made since the law became eff
fective in 1921 having to do with
the alteration of certificate of title.
On Saturday Robinson appeared
before the plead Guilty" Court,
Judge Richards presiding and en-
tered a plea of guilty. He was sem
fenced to serve one year in the New
Castle County Workhouse in de-
fault of the payment of a fine of
81 900. Under a law passed by the
legislature in 1921 the altering of
. Certificate of Title is made a fell
1ny. The law carries a minimum
penalty of $1,000 fine or one year
of both. The State
Police are at present investigating
/ case in Milton where it is claimed
hat Certificate of Title has been
Uttered.
It is easy to detect a changed tt
lie, for a duplicate record is kept !
It the Titling Department and when !
IN application is made for license, |
he title is looked up.

LOCAL AMERICAN LEGION
CELEBRATED ARMISTICE DAY
Rev. w. E. Harrison OF Wilmington,
Was The Speaker Of the Evening

The members of Milford Post, No.
8, of the American Legion held ella
borate exercises in the Armory Hall
here on Wednesday evening in honor
of the World War heroes who serv-
ed during the trying war period.
A large crowd gathered to join the
Legionnaries in their efforts to COM
merate Armistice Day, and aided in
making the affair a success. Rev.
w. E. Harrison, Chaplain of Legion
Post, No. 1, of Wilmington spoke on
the -Four Points of the Compass.
His address carried his listeners far
and brought home to them the mean
ing of brotherhood and unselfish-
ness. The audience joined in sing.
ing, which was led by Charles E.
Varney.
In contrast to the noise and din
of seven years ago when word was
received that the Armistice had been
signed and that the war was over,
Wednesday evenings quiet aided in
bringing to the audience additional
proof that the blessings of peace
were again being enjoyed in our
community. The affair Wednesday
evening was sponsored by the Off
GERS of the Milford Legion Post, and
their efforts were success in
every respect.

REV. c. R. STRAUSBURG
TRANSFERRED TO CUMBERLAND
Popular Milford Pastor Left YeSter-
day For His New Field

i Rev. C. R. Strausburg, who for
the past few years has been pastor
of the First Methodist Protestant
Church in Milford. has been trans
ferred to Cumberland, Maryland, by
the President of the Maryland An
nual Conference. Rev. Mr.. Straus-
burg left Milford yesterday for Cum
berland and assumed his new charge,
During his stay in Milford he has
made a large number of friends
both within and without his own
particular church. The opportunity
for Mr.. Strausburg to better him
self came about three weeks ago, at
which time he was offered the pas
torate of the Alexandria, Virginia,
church. He refused the offer and
the pastor of the Cumberland, Md,
charge was assigned to Alexandria.
The Cumberland church was then
offered to Rev. Strausburg. It was
not until the officials of the Milford
Church agreed to release him that
he was able to go to the Maryland
town, however, for under the law
of the Methodist Protestant Church
he must secure the release from
his church before a transfer may be
made. AS yet no regular minister
has been assigned to the Milford
church; but the vacancy will be
supplied each week.
