BRIGHTEN
ROOMS IN HOME

Just a few blooms, chosen for
their harmony and placed in a vase
that make an ensemble Of the whole,
can do more to decorate a house
than new Grapes even.
If you own a crystal wan-shaped
vase-and many families have them
packed away in attics along with
grandmother'S things-try using
few yellow roses and a dozen
African daisies together. Or, try
single pink camelia and blue lace
flowers,
Pale primroSeS and a few deep
purple pansies or some Parmesian
violets make a subtle combination
particularly if they are placed in a
dead-white vase, preferably low
open type of vase.

The former Marion Cleveland,

Gets a divorce Immediately becomes
the White House baby in the press,
out it was Esther who always was
getting into the newspapers when
we lived in the White House.
1T was Esther who made the
most Of the kindergarten we had
there; it was she who always was
eating the fancy soap in the baths
that were a novelty even in the
White House.
She was just 3 when we were
leaving. My father saw her all
dressed to go and asked why she was
going away, and she laughed and
told him, 'McTinley's toming. Tan't

TWENTY-FIVE children of Pres

Chester Alan Arthur Jr., lawyer, son
of the tWenty-1rst President, and
Mrs. James B. Walker Jr., daughter
Of President Harrison.
All of them Mrs. Amen knows.
She confesses her 81 years readily
she looks less than 30, with her
clear blue eyes, light brownish-
reddish hair, fair skin and girlish
figure.
She acted in her brother, Francis
Growers, summer stock company at
TamWorth, N. H, before he made
his recent big time debut as
villain.
Esther, now Mrs. w. S. B. Bosan-

Mrs. Amen.

DISTRICT SCOUT EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE MEETING

Plans for Scouting activities in
the General TOrbert District for the
coming summer months were dis
cussed at a meeting of the District
Executive Committee held Tuesday
evening, May End, in the Milford
Community House with the Rev.
Frank Herson presiding.
The committee decided to urge
each Troop to provide for an annual
health examination and check-up
for all Scouts to be completed be-
fore June 1st. The Troops repre-
sented at the meeting agreed to see
that this was carried out and blanks
were furnished for the reporting of
these examinations.
The committee, working with the
Troops of the district, agreed to ar
range for the visit of two overnight
camping patrols from Wilmington
to the District in June. These two
patrols will spend a week in Della
ware, starting in the lower part of
the State and stopping overnight
at various places as will be arrang-
ed. Wherever they stop they will
visit with the nearby Troops and
will explain the methods they use
in setting up their tents, laying out
their camp, cooking their meals.
etc.
In view of the excellent Scout
training facilities as well as the
ideal camping conditions at a very
low cost, it was decided to enroll
as many. Scouts as possible at the
Rodney Scout Camps for this com
ing summer. Last year all four
Troops then registered, Milford. No.
l. Milford No. 2, Milton and Harring-
ton had Scouts enrolled at Camp
Rodney.
1t was decided to hold a Scouting
meet i'm connection with the June
Court of Honor with the various
events to be selected by the Scout
masters at a meeting with the Field
Scout Executive.

DE MOLAY DEGREES
CONFERRED In MILLVILLE

Masons of the lower end of Della
ware were afforded their first op-
portunity to see the De Molay de-
gree work put on when Evergreen
Chapter conferred the Initiatory De-
gree on a class of candidates and
Wilmington Chapter conferred the
De Molay degree.
About fifty members of Doric
Lodge of Millville witnessed the de-
grees and the officers of the lodge
who were called on for short talks
following the degree work stated
that they were very much surprised
and very much impressed by the
beauty, sincerity and solemnity of
the degrees.
Evergreen Chapter is growing
very rapidly in the southern end. of
the state and it will probably be
necessary before long to alternate
the meetings, holding one in Milford
and the next in either Frankford,
Dagsboro, or Millville. A new Ad
visory Council is being formed and
it is hoped that some, of the mem
bers of Doric Lodge will find 1t pos
sible OBSERVE on the council if they
are asked.

In the first place, they have encour-

Secondly, they have made many
improvements in the appearance of
the grounds surrounding their of

building was purchased and torn
down and the lot where it stood has
been graded and grass planted there.
A high hedge has been planted be-
tween the buildings of the L. N.
Hearn Lumber Co. and the now va
cant lot. .:.
A gravel drive curves around
back of the office building and on
both sides of the drive are grass
plots, small evergreens and small
towering shrubs. Along both sides
of the river and on the Peabody ave-
nue. side of the dump, willow trees
are being planted to hide the dump.
The trees will be planted about ten
feet apart so that the branches will
intertwine and keep the unsightly
view of the dump from passengers
on the trains as well as passers by
ON the road.

HOME CANNING ON THE FARM

At the home of Wilbur S. Camper,
near Bowers Beach, last Friday was
butchering day. There were butch
cred ten porkers, eight of which he
sold and delivered at the Delmarva
plant at Dover. Two of which were
canned at home by his sister,
Amanda c. Harrington, on Saturday,
which netted them forty-six quarts
of delicious pork to be consumed
by the family this summer. Those
two porkers weighed little over one
hundred pounds apiece. The eight
that were sold weighed one thous-
and and fifteen pounds. No need to
kill meat by dry sailing when it can
be canned, also furnishes good pork
all summer. This is the third pork
er that has been canned for. their
family this spring, and keeps fine,
very little trouble either Wilbur
says no more picked meat. All
meat that was too fat was made into
lard.
