HOUSTON REFUSES
TO ACCEPT OFFER
OF P. S. DUPONT
Refuses To Become Advis-
or In Administration OF
Liquor Laws.
REPLIES TO CHARGE

Pierre S. DUPONT, State Liquor
Control Commissioner, received a
letter on Tuesday to his communica-
tion to former Congressman Robert
G. Houston, at Georgetown, in which
Mr.. Houston refused to accept the
invitation of Mr.. dupont to become
one of his advisors in the admins
tTation of the State liquor laws.
Mr.. Houston in his letter to Mr..
DUPONT declared that the liquor con-
trol act is impracticable and that
the Canadian system of liquor con-
troll, as far as he knows, is not
workable, ~ ,sv@set.s-s7 :
II cannot become one of your ad-
visors in connection with the ad-
ministration of the liquor control
law" Mr.. Houston writes. II know
of no one who would seek a license
whom | could conscientiously rec
ommend. Certainly, l would not by
my recommendation assume any re-
sponsibility for anything such Ii
cense might do"
Mr.. Houston continues in his let
ter that the use and abuse of intOX-
icating liquor is an evil which eX-
perience has taught must be con-
trolled. Every plan that the ingenui-
ty of man could suggest, written in
to the law, explains Mr.. Houston,
has been tried without success.
Remedy Is Prohibition
THE logical remedy after such
experience is prohibition" Mr.. Hous-
ton concludes. This you will, of
course, maintain has not proved a
success but the lack of success, i'll
my opinion is traceable not to the
prohibitory act itself but to the
failure Of many good citizens to live
up to the law in spirit and in fact. :"
This letter of Mr.. Houston's is one
of a series that have passed recently
between him and Mr.. dupont and
will in time form an important hip
torical feature of the current pro-

Kent County Agent Suggests
Preblossom Spray For Grapes
Pre-BIOssOm Spray Should Be FOILOWed With An
other Application OF The Same Materials Just As
Soon As The Vines Haze Passed Blossom Period

Grape vineyards are advancing
very rapidly as the result of this
warm weather, and the vines will
soon be ready for the predecessor
spray. which should be applied when
not more than ten per cent of the
blossoms are out, according to spray
recommendations which are being
sent this week by County Agent
Russell E. Wilson to the grape
growers in Kent county in connec-
tion with the vineyard spray service
for this season.
For this pre-blossom application
the growers are being advised to use
the 6-12-100 formula for Bordeaux
mixture, which consists of pounds
of copper sulphate (bluestone) and

IL pounds of hydrated lime to 100
gallons of water. In this particular
application, as well as for the after
blossom and Today sprays in which
poison is used, change from arsen-
ate of lead to calcium arsenate is
possible in order to eliminate the
difficulties with the regulation on
lead residue. The optional materials
for these sprays, therefore, include
6-12-100 Bordeaux with '21a pounds
of calcium arsenate and l pint of
fish oil which serves as a spreader
for the spray materials.

control of grape diseases and in

 "The Ghost Train" is q mystery. comedy. In n peaceful village In Maine there lives a superstition Of twenty years standing, about Il ghost train which flashes by In the doad of night, swinging tho seythe of death. As the regular night train draws into tho village sta- ton, some passengers get off and tho train moves on. The passengers are compelled to walt all night, for they missed connections. When the old station. .master describes tho course of the phantom train to frighten the passengers away, he Is pooh-poohed. But all the phenomena occur as forecast. The station master Is stricken dead mysteriously. The signal bell rings. The engine whistles. The trains roars through the junction and one who rashly gazes upon 1t apparently succumbs. Besides much excitement, there Is sur plus of fun in the play.
 A large staff, has been working on the production. The scenery has been constructed by the fol- lowing workers: Edward Wotkyns, J. Warren Upson, Merwin Camp, painting has been done by Mrs Lamont Hall. Mrs Elizabeth Hodges.
