MILFORD SHOULD HAVE
SIDEWALK INSPECTION REPORT

In order to take advantage of the
present low cost of public i'm
provements, the department of pub
lie works at Greensboro, N. c., has
set out in systematic manner to
make sidewalks in that city "as good
as new"
Inspectors survey the sidewalks,
noting repairs needed for various
reasons including safety to pedes-
trians and violation of city ordi-
nances. Property owners are then
notified that the city will make the
needed repairs, to be paid for over
period of twelve months. If the
property owners prefers, he may
have the work done at his own i'm
mediate expense.
Sidewalks are constructed for con-
venience and safety. Defective
walks create potential hazards out
of all proportion to the cost of re-
pairs. The latter is at most a very
minor item of expense and consists
largely of wages to ordinary labor.

IF MOSQUITOES
FIGHT HARD IT
MEANS HARMONY
Different Kinds Of Mos
quitOes React Differently
To Same Repellents

If you dislike mosquitoes with the
violence of a tortured soul, and yet
if they continue to attack you with
the viciousness of devils in spite OF
all the loudly smelling mixtures you
can smear on yOurself-then yours
may be another case of perfect
harmony"
The perfection of this harmony
is mainly in favor of the mOsqui-
toes, adds a bulletin of the Ameri-
can Game Association. This relates
that specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
experimenting with mosquito repel-
lents, have found that different
kinds of mosquitoes react different
ly to the same repellents, and that
some persons are more attractive to
mosquitoes than others.
So yours may be that felicitOus
occasion when the family of mos
quitoes which doesn't mind your
brand of repellents finds exactly the
type of person it prefers. In that
case the specialists recommend rub
bling moistened toilet soap on the
bites.
The specialists listed oil of penni
royal as the most widely proved and
used anathema to these insects. 1t
may be rubbed on pure or mixed,
one part to five, with petroleum or
any other heavy oil, including the
castor variety. The investigators
discovered that any kind of oil is in
itself somewhat of a repellent to
fastidious puncturers. Although eX-
periments have not proceeded far
enough to reveal the type of person
mosquitoes fall hardest for and
upon, this is believed to depend on
the amount of natural oil in the
skin

SUSSEX PEACH CROP
is NOW In MARKET
[C0ntinued from First Page]


North Carolina will be practically
over by the time the crop reaches its
height here, thus eliminating the
possibility of a flooded market.
In the vicinity of Seaford the crop
is large. Years ago Milford was the
center of the peach growing indus
try in Delaware, but now scarcely
any peaches are grown by the far
mers in this vicinity.
Cantaloupe prices jumped some
this week, when Pink Meats, .Hale's
Best and other leading varieties
reached a top price of 01.S5 per car
rier of SO melons, and 40 cents for
fats of IL 'lopes.

submit their cars to periodic inspec-

These inspections must be thorough

defeats its own purposes; for the
driver then places reliance upon
faulty equipment which cannot func-

Can Candhi Control India?

obstacles are not so much In the future
relations Of Britain with India, but in
the relations of the Indians with each
other. What viii be the position of the
princes in q federation? To what ex-
tent can the federal government inter-
fere with them, or they with the federal
government? Upon what franchise will
a central Legislature be chosen? Are
the depressed classes to have equal cleo
toral rights with the superior castles?
Are votes to be given to women?
Troublesome Question.
And then comes the most troublesome
question of all, in all lands-religion.
The 10000 900 Mohammedans will con-
sent to no constitution which will place
them under the unreserved control OF
the $4,000, 0Oe Hindus. They will in
sist, as q condition precedent to any
change, that their rights shall be safe
guarded. It Is not easy TO provide
adequate safeguards against the action
Of the majority in democratic cof1sti-
tuition, where ma jorities must necessarily
prevail. In London there were several
conferences held between Hindu and
Moslem delegates to see If way out
Of the. impasse could be found. They
all failed.
The genius Of British craftsmanship
for tracing out safe and passable roads
to constitutional freedom Is about TO
be tested as it has never been tried
before. II the three British parties act
together, a solution is assured. But If
India becomcs a party question, then
chaos Is inevitable.
