A Powder That
Kills Moths, ST

There are many wool or fur
trimmed garments that you
can't put in cold storage. and
moths work on them 365 days
in the year. Even garment
bags are not always sure pro
lection against these destruc-
tive pests, so try the added ad-
vantage of this small can that
you hang in the closet, or that
is filled with II little gauze
bags like tea balls that you
put in drawers or boxes. Either
type is priced ST, and is well
worth the investment in pro
lection. 1t requires no Sprink-
ling or spraying, is harmless to
humans or animals. and will
neither spot nor stain the
daintieSt fabric. II merely
sends out a heavlcr-than-alr va
poE that kills all moth life.

Mrs. Russell
Is Offered
Career
Friends Deny Distinguished
Visitor Will Accept Theatri-
cal offer This Fall

Ooi S'iS' wv"
Rumors that Mrs. Ethel
Hartman Russell, daughter
of Mrs. J. Borden Hartman,
is contemplating embarklng
upon a theatrical career are
denied by friends of Mrs.
Russell here.
Mrs. Russell, who has been
visiting her mother here for
the past week, leaves today
for New York and will
shortly sail for Europe,
planning to be gone until
the end of summer.
Other Offers
According to her friends, Mrs,
Russell has frequently been ap-
preached by theatrical man
ayers with tempting offers
promising a brilliant stage
career, but, unless she changes
her mind while abroad this
summer. she prefers her work
as a writer. Recently, and thus
far the stories are correct, she
was offered a part in a Jed
Harris production scheduled for
next fall.
Born of a gifted family, Mrs.
Russell early displayed his
trionic talent.
In 1917, when she was Miss
Ethel M. B. Hartman, a debu-
tante, she made a hit in the
Junior Leagues annual produc-
ton, Around the Clock" in
the role of Nine. Benthursteln,
modiste. She has long ex-
celled as an amateur in light
comedy parts and mlmlcry.
The summer Of her presenta-
ton to Newport society, Mrs.
Russell gave a thrill to mem
bers of the colony by making
an airplane flight over Nara
gansett Bay. During the war
she served with the American
woman's ambulance.
BetrOthaI
Her engagement was an
nounced the same year to Lieut..
Henry Potter Russell, OF New
York. who was serving in
France with the American Ex-
peditionary Forces. 1t was fol
lowed shortly by their mar.
riage in Paris. After their di-
Vorce Mr.. Russell married Miss
Helen V. Crocker, Of San Fran
cisco.
In 1926 Mrs. Russell pub
lished a book entitled, Roman
tic--I Call It." under her
maiden name. dedicating it to
Cole Porter. Noel Coward and
her mother. Mrs. J. Borden
Hartman. her mother, is known
as one of the most public-spir-
tied women in America. She
was formerly president of the
Colony Club in New York, and
was appointed by the late Presi-
dent Wilson as a member of the
industrial commission which in
vestigated and reported on the
relations between capital and
labor.

COMMUNITY CHORUS
in FINAL RECITAL
rContinned from First Paael

who delighted the audience in March
will sing the "Bedouin Love Song.
Also, 1.-THE Song of India," which is
a great favorite with all music low
ers, will be sung by the wOmen's
chorus; Mrs. A. d. Dickerson and
Mrs. Fred Breme will sing an alto
and soprano duet, and lovely orien-
tai music will be played by an in
strumental trio, directed by the tai
ented Prof. Arthur Hudson.
Not only will the evenings pro-
gram be a delight to the ear, but to
the eye as well, for the members of
the chorus will dress in beautiful
oriental costumes, and the auditor
ium will be attractively decorated by
Miss Anna Radcliffe who so splen-
didly decorated the auditorium on
the last occasion.
The chorus is composed of about
60 women, men, and young people,
all of whom are we'll known to the
residents of Milford, many of them
singing in the church chOirs. Few of
the members of the chorus have had
training previous to the past year
when Mrs. Annabel Groves Howell
of Wilmington, was employed by
those interested in the betterment of
the town and its citizens, under the
suggestion of Mrs. Mabel Grier, to
train the music lovers who would
appreciate and enjoy such instruc-
ton.
No one is charged for the instruc-
ton which includes proper methods
of breathing while singing, how to
enunciate correctly and clearly, how
to make music effective by the cor
rect expression, etc.
The Carlisle Fire Company make
no charge for the large, well lighted
and ventilated room, with a finely
tuned piano, for the use of the Choir
us, and the accompanies give their
services cheerfully, gladly, and with
out charge.
Committees for arranging for the
costumes, decorations, ticket selling,
etc., are being appointed, and will
soon be announced in their entirety.
Set aside this evening, May Z, now
so that nothing will prevent your
hearing this splendid concert. The
week of May 5, being Music Week
the world over, this is a most oppor-
tune time for the concert; and you
will want to participate in the move
ment by spending one thoroughly
enjoyable musical evening.

WINDSOR APPRECIATES
FIRE COMPANY'S WORK

wish to express my gratitude to
the Carlisle Fire Company for the
excellent service they rendered me
during my distress, Tuesday night;
also to the citizens at large, who
voluntarily offered their assistance.
For a while it looked as though all
my buildings would be swept by fire
but the we'll drilled boys who all
worked Systematically together,
from the chief on. Each man knew
just what to do, and he did it. EV-
cry move that was made accom-
plished something. Nothing was
left undone, and regardless of the
raging flames, they soon gained con-
troll of it.
No one knows what a relief it was
when I saw the Houston, Harring7
ton and G eorg town Volun-
teer Fire Companies and the Rob-
bins Hose Company from Dover, ar
rive and ready for action if neces-
sary. And for which I also wish to
express my appreciation.
