a score Of other poisons which do not
seem to bother them, has been on for
three days. The beetles, according to
officials of the Government Beetle In

Wilmington, has flying season, just
the same as aviators, and mosquitoes.
And just now, it is said, they are at
the period of the year when they put
their wings to use In fact, the first
day for flying of these pests, that the
government is spending millions to de-
stroy, was June Is. New Castle coun-

but to what extent is not known. Re
ports are expected to be coming in
next week, and by July l the real war

gardens are urged to destroy them.
That doesn't mean that they should
attempt to feed them with spray poi

that nothing has been found yet that
will kill them except a stamp of the
foot. And then be sure, said an of
fetal, that they are. on hard ground
or surface. The beetle is little
brownish bug that resembles a rose
bug, except that it is darker. It can
be distinguished by wings that are

its back, and two white spots on its

THE OLD WATER MILL

The old water mill at the end Of the pond
The miller all covered with dust from the mill
And the stones steady grinding sweet old
song.
The farmer come flocking down to the mill
The miller from each bag taking his toll
To Day for the work Of himself and his pond.
And when the days over. the farmers all gone
The food gates are closed. The mill comes to
rest.
And peace settles over the mill and the pond
AS twilight approaches and sun sinks in the
west.
Long years have now passed and the old water
mill
Is only a memory Of days that are gone
The pond has gone dry. the old wheel is still
And ghosts haunt the old mill. standing alone.
Quaint specter of the past. it stand today
Its windows shattered. roof and wheel decayed
Where mice and rats in peaceful plenty play
And owls and bats within il. homes have made
The Old miller Is gone to his promised reward
For ne ground out his life at the old water
mill
And while serving the people he served his
Lord
But he lives III our hearts and memory still.

 It is rather unusual fact that in most cases the brothers star at the same position. The schang brothers are catchers, the Meusels and Wan CTS are outfieldes. the Barnes boys are pitchers, the Cooneys are infield- CTS, Johnny also being a pretty fair pitcher: the Falk boys started as hurlers, but Bib's ability to hit caused him to be made over into an outfielder.

'bACkSTAGF GREAT
 DRAMA 0F THEATER
Lyceam Presents Stirring Tale of Chorus Girls Sunday Night

A living. breathing, colorful hu- man story of four chorus 'janes'. their life and loves, is the Tiffany production 'Backstage" which opens a four days run at the Ly- ceum tomorrow night on the same bill with ''The Man From Hardpan", featuring Leo Maloney. the latest western hero of the screen.
 "Backstage" is presented by an exceptional cast. including William Collier Jr., Barbara Bedford. AL berta Vaughn, Eileen Percy. Shirley O'Hara, Gayne Whitman, Jimmy Harrison and other we'll known screen stars.
 The story interestingly tells of the struggles of four chorus girls who are forever broke and one of the quartet who looks to reach the top rung of the ladder of theatrical suc- cess. The appearance on the scene of a man who will advance these ambitions complicates her love af- fair with a young man who is her sweetheart and who urges her to marry him and leave the stage.
 In "The Man From Hardpan", the story gets away to a fast start when young cowboy finds that another man has usurped his name and is cheating the girl he loved. Neither jail, guns nor the power of the law could halt this man from Hardpan when he started out to make things right.
 The news reels showing latest world events of interest and spe- cially selected comedy round out the program.

BROTHERS PLAYING
 ON MAJOR TEAMS
Eight Pairs Boosting Same Fam
 lily Doing Very We'll in Leagues
BY BILLY EVANS

Brother acts in major league base ball are getting to be quite the vogue.
 Eight family trees are represented in the big show by pairs of brothers and most of them are doing mighty well. thank you.
 The unusual success that the Waner boys have had with Pitts burgh has called attention to the fact that seven other pairs of broth CTS are doing business under the big tent.
 asst year Pittsburgh secured Paul Waner from the Coast League and he immediately developed into a star. As matter of fact. no one player contributed more to the sue cess the Pirates attained last year thar. Paul Waner.
 His timely Gatting-he hit .3Ss in his first year-was a potent factor in keeping Pittsburgh in the run ming. In the field he performed as brilliantly.
 While Paul was shining in the majors, brother Lloyd. the property
 
 of the Pittsburgh club. was going great guns in the south Atlantic League. He finished with a marks of ,346 at the bat.
 This spring Manager Donie Bush surprised the experts by giving the two Wancr boys positions in the Pittsburgh outfield. It is one of the few instances in baseball where brothers have played the outfield for the same team.
 When Manager Bob O'F'arrell signed Catcher Bob Schang as one of his backstop assistants it gave two brothers big league jobs in the same city but on different teams. Waffle Schang is one of the main- stays of the Browns back of the bat, having come there in trade with New York.
 Waffle Schang first attracted at- tentiou back in 1912 while with the Buffalo club of the old Eastern League. now known as the Interna- 'ional. His ability to hit and throw we're outstanding features and Con ie Mack grabbed him. He has been the American League ever since.
