Movietone musical romance which
cD-stars Janet GaynOr and Charles
Farrell, is one of the most domestic
actresses in Hollywood.
Whenever she is not working at a
studio, Miss Fazenda is busy in the
kitchen of her Beverly Hills home,
baking pies and cakes and otherwise
engaged in culinary pursuits.
81 learned to cook when I was a
young girl" Miss Fazenda said, "and

In one sequence of High Society
Blues" Miss Fazenda presents a pie
of her own baking to the ultra-fash-
iOnable Mrs. Divine, played by He'd

dinarily, the property man would
have purchased pie at the nearest
bakery. But Miss Fazenda insisted
on baking a pie at home.

A largely attended meeting in

Scott Mcbride, National Anti-Saloon
League director of Washington. Mr..
Mcbride was introduced by the Rev.
M. S. Andrews, pastor of Wesley M.
E. Church. In his address he refer
red to the hearings going on at
Washington. He admitted that the
people are stirred up over the ques-
tion of prohibition.
He referred to the Literary Digest
poll in sending out 21,0O0.0O0 bal
lots and having received little ov-
er 100000, showing nearly 10000
900 who have not replied at ALL In
Iowa, he stated the wees are not
even getting replies from their own
people.
AS for enforcement he stated that
the vets furnish both the wind and
the straw and admonished his hear
ers that if the vets want to run
around and around they can do so,
but let the temperance people stay
at their own programs. This is the
fight of the church and the people
for the Constitution, he said. He
challenged any one to say the school
and college boys do not drink more
than they did when we were boys"
He referred to the fact Of the stills
which ground out liquor are now be-
ing used for much better purposes,
that of making cereals.
AS to the statement credited to
him to that he said Prohibition was
born of God" he explained that in a
report of his he had made such an
expression, but had never used it in
an address, his reference to that
statement in his report meaning that
prohibition had started in the church
and therefore was of God. He as
serted that prohibition was coming
through and that those things that
are in the way of the progress of
God must get out of the way.
Mr.. Mcbride introduced Roscoe
w. Vining, Delaware's new Anti
Saloon League director, who also
spoke briefly on the programs of
prohibition in Delaware, in which
he emphasized the educational part
of the work so that the arguments
of the vets can be met on every

construction of signs and bill boards
in the hands of the State. To this
day l have been unsuccessful even
though l included in all my reports
as chief engineer of the State High
way Department, that legislation
should be enacted to take care of
the situation.
"In my inaugural address l said
that some restriction must be placed
on the cluttering of the highways by
these objects. l am of the opinion
that legislation will not be passed
until the citizens fight for it. This
will mean also that the fighting of
the national organization which
places these signs and bill boards.
In this fight legislative bodies will
hear brilliant outburts of oratory
from lawyers that such an act would
be unconstitutional, even though
the bill was prepared by legal
minds; that a mans property is his
own (here the Governor referred to
private properties) and what would
the poor farmer do without the rem
tai from these signs"
Governor Buck declared himself
to be in favor of legislation that
would place substantial tax and
also charge a license fee for all
roadside advertising, and in few
years this law would beautify the
highways, because there would not
be sign on them. He said to that
end, he was willing to fight and
work for such a law because it has
been done elsewhere and it can be
done in Delaware if the public
makes an issue of roadside adver-
tising." In this work he also asked
the cooperation of the Federation
which has been working in the in
terest of eliminating the signs and
bill boards.

FROM AN OLD
FRIEND IN CHINA
Served This Country In
Military Service; Also
In Spanish-American
Conflict in 1898

In the State of Delaware are many
friends of Major Chauncey P. Hol-
comb, who has for many years made
his home and business activities in
Shanghai, China, who is a native of
Delaware and served his country in
the military service, as well as the
United States during the Spanish
American War, and they will be
pleased to read part of personal
letter that reached the editor of the
Chronicle last week.
MAYOR HolcOmb has experienced
events during his residence in China,
calling for military service during
one of the many revolts against the
Chinese Government. He is one of
the firm of Fessenden & HolcOmb,
practicing lawyers in Shanghai, and
with his wife, who also is a native
of New Castle County, Delaware,
has almost become a fixture in that
country.
Major HOlcOmb was in the United
States two years ago, and with his
brother, now Mayor Bankson T. Hol-
comb, of New Castle, Del, rlade a
tour of Delaware during his visit,
and his cheerful winning personal
ity, made for all friends to extend
hearty welcome to his native land.
Here is his cherio greeting:

My real introduction to Sussex
which l will never forget--was in
1900; when you were kind enough
to meet me in Lewes, TO pilot me to
a farm l wished to lOcate-it was
about corn husking time-do you
recall the trip?

lord-how times flies? We are all
older than we were in the TWO Mid

Please remember me to Marshall
Townsend and to the two charming
girls who were holding down desks
in your Office when Brother Banks
and l dropped in last October year
and, also to any of my old friends.
You may be interest to know that
I am "going" fairly strong and am

duced as other property owners in
the same neighborhood will gradu-
ally come around to treating lawns
with the lead arsenate. ut is pos
siblue," declared Mr.. Smith ito re-
duce the beetle infestatiOn through
this method to where it was ten
years ago, if a large enough proper
ton of the property owners would
treat their lawns in this manner.
"At the laboratory at Moorestown
we consider the lead arsenate treat
ment as one of the most certain
means of combating the beetle that
we have ever discovered" said the
representative of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, who has spent
years on this work. unlike sprays
and traps, once the treatments have
been applied to the lawn, it is equal
Iy as effective several years from
now as it was when applied. The
rains or a thorough sprinkling of
the lawn Immediately washes the
poison down in the soil where the
beetles are feeding and it takes
only a very small amount of it to
kill a beetle grub" explained Mr..
Smith. THE only unsatisfactory
thing about the lead arsenate treat
ment is the owner never realizes
how many beetles he has killed as
they never appear above ground af-
ter they are poisoned, while with
the sprays and traps he has dead
beetles as evidence of his labors."
In reply to a question relative to
the proper time to apply the lead
arsenate, Mr.. Smith states that it is
not too late to apply it this spring.
The beetle will continue to feed un-
til the 10th of May, and if it is ap-
piled at this time, large numbers
can be killed. "The best time to ap-
ply the lead is before the middle Of
August, for by that time the adult
beetles have deposited the eggs in
the soil and the poison is then there
when the tiny grubs begin to feed.
Lead arsenate applied now will kill
many of the wintered over grubs
that will appear ater in the season
and the task will be finished and
out of the way when the new beetle
crop starts to grow in late July and
early August. Lead applied at this
time will be just as effective on the
August beetles as if it is delayed
until midsummer. Mr.. Smith be-
lieves that greater actual results
can be secured in killing beetles
with the treatment of the lawn and
turf with lead arsenate than
through any other similar method
now known.
The cold weather has not checked
the development of the beetle and it
can be expected to put in its ap-
pearance around the middle of June
or the same time as in former years,
