"KNICKERBOCKER" AND SENATOR" PASS THROUGH
Wreck on Shore Line Causes Re routing-"Yankee Clipper" Fails
 10 Appear

People about the railroad station last Friday afternoon were disap- pointed in not getting a glimpse of the New Haven Railroads newest special fare train. New York to Bos- ton. the Yankee Clipper" They did see two other we'll known trains that ordinarily run over the Shore Line. The trains were rerouted over the Midland division because of a wreck near East Lyme. Before it was time for the Yankee Clipper to leave the South Station the line had been clear ed and 1t made it's run as usual along the shore.
 "The Senator, a train that runs through to Washington, D. C., was the first to arrive. It reached Putnam about two o'clock. Soon after II made the grade and disappeared around the curve near the Putnam town farm the "Kniekerbocker' . hove into sight. This Is an old timer and. by comparison, looks it. While a fine train 1t Is not in the class Of the other two.
 The Yankee Clipper is the train deluxe of the road and makes the run from the Grand Central to the South station in A hours.

Friday morning, and in the afternoon were returned to their homes.
 When the youngsters, ranging in age from nine to twelve years, failed to show up in their schoolrooms, and alarm was sent out. The Putnam police received notice that the adyen. turers might come this way. They left Woonsocket last Thursday and, according to their stories. beat their way on freight trains to Putnam. The police are a bit skeptical as to their mode of travel but anyhow they reached this city.
 Sleep in Barn
 Thursday night they slept in a barn. They said that they had be- come engaged in a fight as Co who should have the warmest spot in the nay anu III LtitH way ARt their badly scratched faces
 No dinner or supper on Thursday and no breakfast on Friday. Empty stomachs change more adyenturers into homesick boys than any other hardship of the adventurously inclin- ed. Somewhere the lads had found a part of a loaf of stale bread. They had nibbled on it but it had not proved good substitute for ham and eggs.
 William Bennett. employed on the town highways, saw the lads. He be- came suspicious and started to ques. ton them. Like real tough guys they refused to commit themselves While Dennett went to a house to telephone the police the adventures "beat it'' to the tall timbers. The police arrived and were forced to wait until the quartet came out of the woods and back into the state highway before they were captured
 Eat Their Fill
 The boys were brought to the city and taken to Father John Jarvis's food dispensary on Livery street There they demonstrated just how much food four half starved lads can consume. IL cost the city s3 to en- certain them and the food served was not expensive food either.
 Woonsocket was notified that their four missing future citizens were be- ing held by the police and in the af- ternoon an officer and some of the parents arrived to take the quartet back to the Rubber City.
 It seems that another gang of Woonsocket youths left without bid ding their parents goodby. They got as far as Danielson. The boys pHk- cd up in Putnam said they were out 10 beat the record of the "other gang"

putty colored with green paint.
When the putty was hard, the floor
was given two coats of good
grade of green deck paint and
trimmed around the edge with a
stencil border in black.
Then it was time to move the
breakfast set, which had been
squeezed into a corner of the
kitchen, out to the enclosed porch.
How disreputable it looked in con-
trast to the freshly painted back
groundl So the furniture, too, de-
manded a fresh dress, and Mrs.
Greene decided that it should be
enameled lilac, and trimmed with
bands of green. Pretty stencil de-
signs, repeating the green OF the
floor, were placed on the leaves OF
the table and the backs of the
chairs. Chintz curtains, with dainty
clusters of lilac flowers scattered
riotously over them, were hung at
the windows, and looped up grace
fully with green tie-backs. Because
of the great expanse of window
space, and the sunny effects gained
from it, the cool colors of green
and lilac were permissible. Vivid
drange-colored China contributed
al touch of warmth to the room.

where he has exhibited his dairy
cattle for the past seven years or in
connection with his extensive farm
interests.

T\HE Greenes have always
had a cheerful little home,
Il but recently it has become
even love1ier. The back porch,
which once was only magnet for
footprints, has been turned into a
breakfast room.
Sturdy boards now enclose the
three sides of the veranda that
were formerly exposed to the
weather. Many-paned windows
were added and the outside was
painted brown to match the wood
trim of the exterior of the house:
Inside the walls were painted
light buff, a color that not only
looks clean when it is new, but can
easily be kept clean with a damp
cloth. The ceiling, which had form
erlv been roof for the porch, was
changed frop1 dark brown to the
same delightful shade of buff:
The floor came under considera-
+;on next. As Mrs. Greene had al
ready decided on lilac drapery. for
tbe windows, she chose an antique
green for the floor. The boards
were first scrubbed and allowed to
drv thoroughly, and then the loose
oaint of the old finish was scraped
of. and cracks were stopped with

MAKE BUILDING RATE-PROOF

The cheapest form of "rat insur-
ance" is rat-proof buildings, says
the Biological Survey of the U. s..
Department of Agriculture. Most
buildings that are not already rat
proof can be made so at small cost.
The first step in rat-proofng build
ing with brick, stone, or concrete
foundation is to search thoroughly
for all places where rats might en-
ter, especially small openings around
pipes and small cracks. Such open
ings should be closed with metal
sheeting or with concrete. Basement
windows and other large openings
may be covered with strong, dur
able screening, such as standard s.
mesh galvanized hardware cloth.
Ventilators and sewer openings

Where TO Use VarniSh
and How
By HELEN B. AMES

The choice of the varnish will
depend, too, on whether you want
a glossy or fiat finish. Most var
nishes dry with a high gloss, but
if you prefer a dull finish, the va7-
nish may be rubbed with pow
dered pumice and oil, or a special
lat-drying varnish will answer the
purpose.
The number oI coats is regu-
lated by the type Of finish de-
sired. When fiat varnish is ap-
piled over fiat paint, one or two
coats will be sufficient. A rubbed
finish, however, requires at least
three coats and four are even bet
ter. For a natural finish or over
a stain, two or three coats of var
nish are necessary for new wood,
but one or two will do for re-
finishing. Plenty of time should
be allowed for drying between
coats. Forty-eight to seventy-two
hours is the usual requirement.
but the quick-drying varnishes are
ready for the next coat in from
four TO six hours

ment. A tan background with dots
of blue, brown, yellow and green
makes a good color scheme, and
a delightful setting for hooked rugs.
An ivory stairway with a colored
handrail will also fit well in this
background. Gayly painted hand
rails in dark red, deep blue, and
Colonial yellow, are found in many
old Colonial houses, and often the
baseboards of the hallway are dec
GRATED to match.
For a spacious, formal hallway,
a painted checkerboard design is
an appropriate treatment for the
floor. Black and ivory, dark gray
and light gray, or ebony and pearl
gray, are dignihed and suitable
colors for this tesselated design.
The pattern is very easy to paint.
The floor is first painted with the
lighter color and then the squares
are marked off with chalk and each
alternate space filled in with the
dark paint. This type of floor is
most effective in a Colonial house,
with a wide stairway having dark
treads, and cleaning white risers

w THEN you purchase a can
W. of varnish for floor use, do
Y v you state the purpose Tor
which it is intended, or simply ask
the dealer for varnish1 1t pays to
be specific in your wants, for
surface that receives hard wear
needs a tougher and more elastic
grade of varnish than baseboards,
window castings and other wood
work that is seldom sub'"Cted to

But while varnish s.0u.A be
carefully chosen to increase the
durability of floors and wood trim,
il is something more than a useful
product. On such fine woods as
oak. chestnut and mahogany, a
clea- varnish will heighten the
color and bring out the pattern Of
the grain, and a final coat OF
varnish will give added luster to
painted or stained finishes In
stead of applying stain and then

w THEN a guest enters your
NA/ front door, he gets his first
w impression of the interior
of your home from the appearance
of your entrance hallway. If this is
bright and cheerful, it supplies an
instant welcome, but if it is dark
and gloomy, the newcomer will
sense a depression, no matter how
cordial your handshake. But now
that every homemaker is studying
color values, dark Railways are be-
coming fewer and fewer, for light
woodwork and walls do wonders
IN Frightening up a gloomy spot.
If the walls are painted cream, they
will reflect from sixty to eighty per
cent of the light that falls upon
them, and a soft yellow is only just
"a little below cream color in illumi-
mating value. -.
Painting the floor with one OF
the figured patterns that are being
revived from early American days,
will make the hallway even more
inviting. For the hall of country

Doors likely to be left open at night
should be equipped with self-closing
devices. Farm buildings without
rat-proof foundation walls may be
raised 1S inches or more from the
ground and kept open ON all sides.

cribs, granaries, and other storage
places for food may be equipped with

STATE SELLS SECURITIES
TO WILMINGTON BROKERS

At n special meeting Of the State
Sinking Commission last week. Sc
curities held by the commission
amounting to $4,000 were sold TO
Laird. Bissell and Needs, of Will
mington. at their bid. The securi-
ties sold including New Castle coun-
tv bridge improvement bonds, fourth
issue of Liberty bonds, Wilmington
citv school bonds and New Castle
county highway bonds.
The securities were sold to get
cash needed the first of the fiscal
wear July /, in redeeming outstand-
ing highway bonds. The commission
mas considerable more securities for
sale, but all others were Withdrawn
as the bids were less than what the
securities had cost the commission,
with the exception of the bid of
Laird, Bissell and Needs for the
bonds sold that firm.
Bids were received from practical
lv all the Wilmington banks and
bankers in Philadelphia and New
York. but as stated they were all
withdrawn with the exception OF
those sold to the Wilmington firm.
II is likely that bids will again be
asked later when the bond market
improves.
The Sinking Fund Commission
consist of the Governor, Secretary
of State and State Auditor. State
treasurer Howard M. Ward, is the
Sinking Fund Commissioner, but ne
can only act in a matter with the
approval of a majority of members
OF the commission.
This plan of selling securities to
call in bonds is carrying out the gen
eral idea of Governor Buck to pay
! off all the bonded indebtedness OF
the State as soon as possible. During
Governor Bucks administration the
bonded debt of the State has been
reduced from nearly $1S,OOO,OOO to
about $5,O00,000.
The commission authorized the
Sinking Fund Commissioner to re-
deem as many bonds as the funds OF
the commission will warrant on
July 1. 1t is the opinion Of the COM
mission that 100000 to $75O,OOO OF
highway bonds can be redeemed by
that time which will further reduce
the bonded debt of the State.
If the next Legislature will CO.
operate with the plans of Governor
Buck it is expected that the remain
der of the State bonded debt can be
paid off entirely by July 1, 1881.

In the Stock Market
lBy Thomson g. McKirnor

NEW YORK, May FILLING of
the antitrust suit by the govern
ment against the radio compact
should occasion no particular sur
Prise as the move was generally ex-
pected. The action, consequently
at this stage, is not likely TO have
marked effect. Trade developments
continue rather routine. Neverthe-
Jess they contain suggestions that
business, although slowly. is max
.ng progress. Car loadings show a
good increase for this week and
aside from figures last year at this
time are not far away from normal.
The persistent buying Of copper
metal, with sales so far this month
said to mount to huge totals is the
high spot of trade activity. Even
The copper producers anticipated no
such demand and there is now talk
that the metal price may be re-
stored to Ia cents. The promptness
With which California oil producers
fell in line with the program Of
curtailment removes the threat of
price reduction and speaks well for
harmony and cooperation continu-
ing in that industry. There is good
reason to expect another decrease
in brokers loans, which should
further emphasize the strength Of
our credit position. The business
outlook continues favorable and the
stock market, Notwithstanding the
dizziness which may be encountered
a. times, we believe, is destined to
work higher.

Air Travel Grows

BIZ Fpi"d Press
MOSCOW, May 14.-The hum of
propellerS begins to be a common
sound in the remoteSt corners of
the Soviet domain. Tribes in ST.
IBERIA, Central Asia and the eau
casus which never have seen a rail-
road car or an automobile, are be-
coming familiar with the airplane.
Four and a half million kilo-
meters will be flown this year by
Soviet passenger planes of the trust
Dobrolet, the assistant manager, A.
K. AnderS, predicts. This compares
with two and a half million kilo-
meters by the same trust last year.
The figures for this one organiza-
ton serve to indicate the magni-
tude of the growth of air communi-
cation here.
The growth is accomplished by
extending existing services and by
opening new lines. Two new lines
recently have been opened in dis
tant parts of Siberia and the far
north of European Russia. The air
route Khabarovsk- Nikolaevsky- SAX
hahn is LOO kilometers long; the
route Archangel- Sitkivkar : $50
