From the thunderings Of Mount
Sinai came the commandment,
written in stone, Remember the
Sabbath day, and keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labor, and
do all thy work. But the sew
enth day is the Sabbath of the
Lord thy God. In it thou shalt
not do any work"
Promulgated through the great
lawgiVer, Moses, this command
ment became one of the integral
portions of the law of the jew
ish people.
In the sacred record of Gene
sis we are told that God rested
on the seventh day from all His
work which He had made. He
blessed the seventh day, and hall
lowed it.
All scholars of the Mosaic law
are impressed with It's utilitar-
ianism as well as religious value.
That men should rest one day in
seven was a most salutary in-
junction. Given the force of re-
ligious authority, it was obeyed.
Unfortunately, the priests de-
veloped an elaborate series of
Sabbath rules. They made the
most dogmatic restrictions upon
conduct. At this Christ rebeIled.
He repeatedly astonished the
Pharisees at His lack of respect
for their traditions Of the Sab
bath. He healed on the Sabbath
day. When He rebuked, He
pointed out that man was worth
more than sheep, and yet the
most rigid Pharisee would not
hesitate to rescue a sheep on the
holy day.
At another time Jesus and His
disciples went on a Sabbath day
through the corn. His disciples
were hungry, and plucked the
ears, and ate them. The Phari-
sees said to Christ: "Behold, thy
disciples do that which is not
lawful to do on the Sabbath
day."
The Master responded that

Serfdom in History

Forms of serfdom existed in an
cient Greece and Rome, particular
ly in the latter empire. The cOndi-
tiOn of the col0ni was developed as
the result Of historic necessity by
the working of economic and social
agencies in the first centuries of
the Roman empire, and was made
the subject Of regular legislation in
the Fourth and Fifth centuries. In
the enactments of Justinian two
classes Of cOloni are distinguished.
the adscripticii, representing a
more complete state of serfdom,
and the free coloni, with property
of their own. Serfdom became the
prevailing condition for the lower
orders during the Middle ages in

in the sense of a period of two
weeks at least since the year lOOO
A. d. 1t was used in that year in a
translation of the laws of Inc, who
was king Of the West Saxons in the
Seventh century. Fortnight" is
probably a survival of the old Teu-
tonic method of reckoning time by
nights instead of by days. In SO
a. D. Cornelius Tacitus wrote as
follows of the ancient Germans:
'"Their account of time differs
from that of the Romans. Instead
of days, they reckon the number of
nights. Their public ordinances are
so dated; and their prOclamati0ns
run in the same style. The night,
according to them, leads the day"

Radio Idea Old

Radio communication is not an
invention, nor in reality a discov-
cry. The theory was known long
before anybody was able to apply
it in practice. Numerous inventors
were trying TO devise apparatus
that would make the theory work.
For this reason, several different
practical systems of wireless teleg-
raphy appeared about the same
time. Marconi had the good for
tune to be first, but he distanced
his nearest competitors by only
short time. 1t was only by acci-
dent that electrical communication
by wire was perfected before cleo
trical communication without wires,
as both are implied in the electrical
knowledge that preceded them, and
inventors were working in both
fields for many years before any
body In either group succeeded.

Plan is Urged to Cause a Better
Flow of Natural Tides in the

At a conference Wednesday in
the Office Of General Deakyne, as

Senator Townsend urged Federal
approval Of the plan Of the Della
ware State Commission to con
struct flash gates across Assawo-
man Canal, SO that a process of
natural tide flushing thereby induc-
ed will Gear the mouth Of Indian
River Inlet. 1t was earnestly i'm
pressed upon General Deakyne that
immediate approval was desirable,
50 that advantage might be taken
Of the Spring flood waters. Pres
ent at the conference were Senator
Goldsborough Of Maryland and
Congressman Houston of Delaware.
Senator Hastings could not attend.
owing to his necessary attendance
on a meeting Of the judiciary COM
mittee. Colonel Howell, district
engineer, was present from Will
mington. 1t was explained to the
army engineers that the Legisla-
ture Of Delaware made an appro-
priation for Indian River Inlet Of
$65,000, conditioned upon the con
struction Of flash gates in ASA

engineers is imperative before the
gates can be installed by the State
Commission, it was pointed out.

Beware Of ToadstooIa

Toadstools are the same as mush-
rooms, though in popular use the
name "toadstool" is applied to
those kinds that are poisonous or
supposed TO be poisonous, and the
name mushroom" to those that are
edible. There is no general rule
for distinguishing poisonous from
edible mushrooms. The best plan
is to make a thorough study of the
essential characteristics of a few
of the most deadly, like the Aman-
itas, and the most common edible,
like the Agarics. Only when you
have thoroughly mastered this
should you attempt mushroom
picking.

GET ORCHARD INSTRUCTIONS
State Officials Give Formula for
Spraying Apple Trees


Within the past few days the
fruit growers in Kent county re-
ceived from the Office of County
Agent Russell f. Wilson, COPIES Of
the fifth edition of orchard spray
notes prepared by DIR. J. F. Adams,
Plant Pathologist Of the University
of Delaware and the State Board
Of Agriculture, with reference to
the spraying both Of apple and
peach trees at this particular sea
son of the year. The unfavorable
weather conditions made is impos-
slble for the growers to accomplish
any consistent spraying during the
first half of April, although the
calyx spray, except for the late
blooming varieties such as the Will
liams and Rome Beauty, was gen
orally completed during the week
Of April Is. The continued rainy
weather, and favorable conditions
for the development of apple scaib
since the salyx application, how
ever, have been Of such Importance
that the second summer applica-
tion is regarded as very essential
at this time. This spray usually
is timed SO as to be completed
within two weeks after petal fall,
as the main object is to keep a
good coverage on all growth dur
ing this rapidly growing period.
For this spray, the apple growers
are advised to use the commercial
lime sulphur (32 degrees Baume)
at the rate of 4 gallons to 1876 gal
Ions Of water, making a 1-5O
strength solution. Six pounds Of
lead should be added to each 200
gallons Of spray mixture, and in
order to prevent any possible ar
senical injury to the fruit and
leaves, it is advisable to add about
12 pounds Of lime. Those growers
who are equipped for busting, are
to use the standard sui
phur-lead arsenate-lime dust. In
regard to the spraying Of peach
trees, DR.. Adams states that they
are ready for the next spray about |
three weeks after petal fall, which /
occurs two weeks follow
ing the shuck stage. This protec-
ton is necessary because of the
brown rot, and scab, and
for this spray it is recommended \
hat drymix be used at the rate of /
80 pounds to 200 gallons Of water,
yith the addition of 5 pounds Of I
arsenate Of lead and 10 pounds of |
ime. In those cases where dust is
oeing applied, the peach growers
Ire advised to use the 70.10-20
or the 80-5-15 mix
.ure, if frequent applications are
1eing made. In those orchards in
'ested with aphis, the growers
should add nicotine sulphate Black
Leaf 40) in the proportions Of 1-2
oints to the 200 gallons Of spray
mixture. The efficiency of this
spray will be increased greatly by
he addition Of quarts Of fish oil
;oap. 1t is impossible at this time
Q determine the effect Of this con-
inued rainy weather on the set Of
'ruit on the apple trees. The rec
mt storms have caused consider
uble damage to the orchards in
sussex county, md particularly in
hose orchards which are exposed
0 the Delaware Bay, as there has
,een much stripping Of leaves and
blossoms in many sections.
