BY FLORENCE la GANKE.

To-day we have another old-time quilt
pattern. 1t. is rather intricate in ap-
pearance, with six different sizes of
pieces in a block Perhaps it earned
the name because some quilt maker
had a hard time gstting her pieces ar
ranged correctly. But truly, it is not
SO difficult. at that. And since il is
put together with blocks of plain or
with strips and bands of plain material
it is not as time taking as might seem.
Of course, you all know that the
parts which are shown black III the
drawing are not made from black, nor
even dark-colored material. That plain
part may be shade of red or green,
or blue. o. yellow. The dark coloring
has to be put into the design to make
it clear.
The claws may be pieced from all
sorts Of scraps but l advise" said
Nancy. that the parts shown dark and
plain here be made of the same mate
rial in every block throughout the
guilt "
In the full-size pattern sheet which
may be procured by following the di-
rectionS given below. there is no allow
ance made for seams. Be sure to allow
one-qIarter inch on all sides when cut
ting the pieces.
Be sure. also. to cut them true and
exact. for the beauty of any pieced
quilt is dependent ON three things
color combinations. repetition Of pat
tern and exact scanning and meeting of
corners Nancy suggests that a cushion
might be made from this pattern.
Four Of these blocks put together
without any connecting bands would
give top "a inches square
Nancy advises that. scraps Of mate
rial which are to be used should be
fairly small patterned. II large
rpraWling design is used the effect OF
the small triangles is lost, for the pat
tern is not complete in the small space
and gives ragged look to the claws.
If you are making quilt you might
try the effect of this pattern arranged
IN all over style. You will have some
thing Of plaid effcc, which is good.

$4,000 FIRE LOSS
AT HARRINGTON
Reese Canning Factory in
Ashes as Result of Fire
There Early Friday
OTHERS ENDANGERED

Shortly after 2 p. M, Friday
Harrington firemen were called
upon to combat one of the most
serious blazes they have encounter
ed in about two years. The fire
men responded to the blaze and
found the canning houese of S. p.
Reece and Company a mass of
flames. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 with no insurance. The
cause of the fire is unknown. The
cannery has not been in operation
for several years and since canning
operations were suspended, the
building had been used to manu-
facture cement blocks. The can
merry was also used as a warehouse
for the storage of farm imple-
ments. Several implements were
destroyed before they could be got
ten out of the building. During the
height of the blaze, the home of
Edward Derickson, in the path of
the flames, caught fire which was
extinguished without damage.
Some little damage was done to
the railroad telephone lines nearby,
but repairmen had the lines in ser
vice again in a short time. The
nearest buildings to the blaze were
the warehouses of M. T. Adams.
The l. D. Short lumber yards were
almost directly across the tracks
from the blaze but the wind car
ried the flames away from these
places. The basket mill of A. G.
Creadick was in the line of the fire
but some distance away and was
not threatened. Several firemen
were almost overcome by the heat.
Both engines of the Harrington
Fire Company weer dispatched to
the scene. The fire was some dis
tance from the nearest fire plug
and the company was forced to
place in service every bit of hose
they own. Some of the hose was
very old and under pressure $50
feet bursted, and this caused some
little delay.

SMYRNA SPENDS
A QUIET FOURTH
Rained Most of the Morning
But Did Not Deter Motor
trips to Nearby Resorts
LITTLE GOING ON HERE

Fourth of July passed off quietly
in Smyrna, one of the quietest the
town has had in several years. IN
like the past three years when the
Legion and Business Mems Asso-
citation and other organizations
joined to put on an elaborate pro-
gram of parade, boat races and
fireworks. There was no program
whatever this year and save for an
occasional explosion of fire crack
ers and few private displays of
fireworks at night, there was moth
ing to remind our citizens that an
other Fourth of July had rolled
around. There was general hol-
iday observed in Smyrna. Stores,
banks and business places were
closed. Most everyone owning cars
motored off somewhere for a days
outing and nearby resorts. Others
motored to Rehoboth and Ocean
City which ocean resorts had their
full compliment of visitors not only
from Smyrna but from every town
on the Delmarva Peninsula. The
day dawned cloudy and threatening
and around nine o'clock the "heav-
ems opened up" and there was a
hard and steady down-pour of rain
which continued until near the
middle of the afternoon. This did
not hold up auto traffic, the Boule-
ward being more crowded this
Fourth than last year. The Fourth
following Immediately after Sun
day made, as it were, a double hol-
iday and when the swing back to
home and work called the motoring
hosts, all highways were full and
congested which was handled by
highway officers with a minimum
Of accidents. Smyrna had the at
traction at the Strand Theatre for
their evenings pastime while those
who swim found pleasure in the
swimming center at Lake Como
all afternoon and until night fall.
Owing to the Depression and un-
employment, Smyrna had no fire
works display this year and aside
from a few private setoffs, pyro-
tecnics were few and far between.

MAN IS DROWNED
IN LEIPSIC CREEK
George WOOdall Loses Life
While Trying to Overtake
Drifting Skiff
YOUNG SON POWERLESS

Raymond Woodall, 10-year-old
son of George Woodall, of Leipsic,
was found early Thursday evening
by some oystermen alone in his
fathers oyster boat in the middle
of Leipsic Creek. The father had
drowned in the creek and the
young boy was marooned on the
boat. The body was recovered
early Friday afternoon. The youth
told the oystermen that he left his
home Thursday afternoon with his
father, who took him to the place
where the oyster boat was anchor
ed in a skiff. The two left the
skiff and got on the other boat to
do some repair work to the boat
Raymond said his father anchored
the skiff but while he was working
on the boat the skiff drifted some
distance from the boat in the
strong tide. He explained that his
father took off his clothes and
jumped overheard to swim to the
skiff and bring it back to the boat.
The boy said the last he saw of
his father was when he jumped
into the creek. He said that hap
pened about an hour before the
found him alone on the
boat. 1t is thought that Woodall
was seized with cramps or that his
head hit some object when he dived
into the water and was drowned.

AT DESIGNATED PLACES

Governor c. Douglass Buck Sat
urday officially issued a call for the
fourth annual car inspection cam
paign to be conducted under the
joint auspices of the Secretary of

have shown a sharp increase in
1882 over 1881 for the same period

percentage than ever before. Will
