"The skin poisoning caused by pol
son ivy and by other members OF the
same plant family, is due to an irrita-
ting, resinous substance in the sap OF
the plant. Anybody who has ever
suffered an attack of poisoning from
poison ivy has every reason for re-
Numbering to keep hands of it. The
slightest brushing Of the leaves or
handling of the plants will release
the poisonous sap. It is deposited
on anything that touches it, not only
on the hands and face, but on cloth
ing, shoes, tools, garden implements,
golf clubs, golf balls, and the fur or
animals. The poison may even be
carried long distances in the smoke
from burning the leaves or stems or
roots of the plants in camp fires ana
in brush fires.
"The best way to protect yourself
against poison ivy dermatitis is to a.
void touching the plants. If you hap
pen to come in contact with poison
ivy, the first thing to do is to lather
the hands and other affected parts,
thoroughly, with suds from a good al
kaline soap-strong, yellow kitchen
soap-rinsing frequently in clear wat

help to dissolve the oily sap, which is
not affected by water, alone. But be
very careful in rinsing not to spread
the irritating poison.
"The poison retains it's strength
for long time on objects that have
come in contact with it-even lasting
from one season to another. Clothing

Dillinger went to his death defending
himself against the banks?
"For example, I suspect that it
won't be long before you pick up a
paper and see something like this:
Police reserves were called today
to the home of Henry K. Squeek, re-
tired wagon wheel manufacturer, who
was barricaded in the living room and
waving white flag out of window.
Police found one Of Mr.. Squeek's
neighbors, Mr.. Elmer K. Higginboth-
am, surrounding the house. Mr.. Hig-
ginbotham was armed with a shotgun,
revolver, a machete and slingshot.
He said he had come over that morn
ing to defend himself against Mr..
Squeek, who was menace. With
the assistance of the police Mr.. Hig-
ginbotham took Mr.. Squeek's piano,
his watch, set of Harvard Classics,
and bird dog
COR even a case of this kind:
'McGillic L. McGregor appealed
to the police today for protection a.
gainst his next door neighbor, Mr..
Sylvester D. Cohen, who claimed that
Mr.. McGregor was a menace to the
Cohen family. Mr.. Cohen was found
by the police sitting on the McGreg-
or front porch with pistol, bow
and arrow, a catapult, and muzzle-
loading squirrel rifle. He said he had
simply come over to defend himself
himself against the McGregors, and
in so doing he had taken the McGreg-
or clock, $12 in cash, a basketful of
groceries, and the little McGregor
boys scooter. The police assisted Mr..
Cohen in his effort at appeasement.'
"And it won't be long until you see
this:
Two men walked into the Third
National Bank this morning and de-
Tended themselves against the CASH
Ter. They told police that he had
$4,000 that was a menace to them.
The police assisted them in removing
the menace in an orderly manner, con-
sisting of holding two automatics in
the cashiers stomach, and threatening
him with gas bomb and hand gre
nade."
And I, somehow or other, feel that
when Hitler feels that he will have to
defend himself against Britain and
America, he'll need whole lot of de-
fensive armor, because we are strong
over here for King George and his
boss Queen Elizabeth.

CONTROL OF
BEETLE IS
PROGRESSING
Twenty-Five Hundred Traps Are
Available For Use I'm Towns
And On Farms
INFESTATTON HEAVIEST IN
POCOMOKE AND STOCKTON

Plans for the control Of japanese
beetles are going ahead in Worcester
County with 1900 traps available for
use in the towns and on farms. Farm
ers may secure traps by paying de-
post of 10c per trap and may receive
same from any Of the following: Will
liam Keim, Pocomoke; William Hud-
son, Stockton; William H. Richardson,
Snow Hill; Charles w. Mitchell, New
ark: Severn Hudson, Berlin.
Most of the infestation has been
found around Pocomoke and Stock
ton. Most of the demand for traps
on farms will be made in these locali-
ties. These traps should be set up at
once, according to R. T. Grant, County
Agent, and kept in place until the mid
die Of August. Plans for spraying
at loading point, Pocomoke City, have
been made and this work will be car
ried on next week.
The adult beetles 60 into the ground
early in August and lay their eggs
which live over during the winter and
make their appearance in the form Of
worms or grubs in the spring. These
feed on the roots Of grass and emerge
as adult beetles early in June. Where
these beetles have become established
in lawns the lawns should be treated
with lead arsenate at the rate of 10
pounds to 1000 square feet. This can
be applied either in water or in the
dry state. The lead arsenate should
then be washed into the ground with
hose after application. This will pro-
tect the lawn for five years.
To repel beetles from plants it is
necessary to keep spray residue on
all portions Of the plant attacked.
Satisfactory protective sprays are
made as follows: /. Mixing 1 pound
Of hydrated lime with gallons of
water; 2. Mixing A level teaspoons Of
dry arsenate Of lead with 8 level tea
spoons of flour to gallon Of water.
To kill the beetle by spraying it is
necessary to use contact spray such
as pyrethrum, following the directions
given by the manufacturer.

AMPAICNERS
FOR HOSPITAL
STAGE DINNER
Will Invite Representatives
From District Served By
The Hospital, Monday
HOSPITAL NEEDS MORE
ROOM FOR THE SICK

Three hundred representative citi-
zens from the entire district served
by Peninsula General Hospital have
been invited to combined dinner and
meeting on Monday evening next,
June 26, at Salisbury. They will gath
er in Wicomico High School at $3.50
Pm. to hear at first hand and to dis
cuss the critical condition of the hos
pital.
:. A., dramatic, varied program has
been arranged, which will be broad
cast y.WSAL. In addition to speech
es and forum on what to do about
the hospital, there will be the music
OF Harvey's popular nine-piece orches-
ira and community singing.
The Peninsula General Hospital,
equipped for only SO beds, is unable to
cope with the increasing demands
made as a result of the rapid growth
Of population in the Delmarva PENN
sula. Hospital officials point out that
although the beds Of patients are con-
stantly being crowded into the halls
and corridors and every available inch
of space utilized, it has become an al
most daily routine to be forced to deny
admission to patients who urgently
require treatment.
Every angle of this problem will be
discussed at Mondays meeting and
questions answered by w. S. Gordy,
Jr., president of the Hospital Board,
and an able corps of interested citi-
zens. Although public agitation for
the enlargement of the hospital,
coupled with the obvious needs, would
seem to justify going ahead with i'm
mediate expansion, this must depend
on the reactions Of those present at
the meeting.
"No effort has been made to invite
all prominent citizens" according to
Mr.. w. s. Gordy, President Of the
Hospital Board. eve are anxious,
however, to include representatives
of the various communities served by
the hospital, as well as Of the various
churches, fraternal orders and other
organizations of the lower peninsula"
The program of talks will begin at
1880 P. M. Mr.. Gordy and other
sponsors of the dinner-meeting stress
ed that its sole purpose will be to
bring out into the open the cramped
conditions of Peninsula General Hos
pital SO that representative group OF
citizens will be able to voice their
opinions on the proposed expansion
program, and take back to their re-
spective units a first-hand story OF
the entire problem. Contributions to
the hospital will not be asked nor ac-
copied at the dinner-meeting.
The ministers in the area served by
the hospital will be the guests of the
directors at luncheon this Friday at
Fellowship Hall, Asbury Church. This
is ga situation that must challenge the
active interest of every thoughtful
man." wrote DR.. H. P. Fox, pastor
In the invitations.
The hospital directors and staff
have been working hard at this prob
lem for quite a time. The directors
were particularly impressed by the
fact that every member of the medi-
cal and surgical staff had personal in
stances to tell of the overcrowded con-
ditions at the hospital, and of the
patients who couldn't be accommo-
dated.

POstmortem Shows
Death Was Due To
A Diseased Heart

Reports of coroner's post NOR
tenn revealed that Marvin Rhodes,
who was found dead Saturday
night, died of luretic heart d.
sease.
First reports of Rhodes death
were to the effect that he was the
victim of a hit-run driver. These
reports were substantiated when
Northwest Enterprise reporter had
viewed the body at the morgue.
Bruises about the body and face,
severe decorations of the head and
a deep cut above the right ear in
dicated that the dead man, who
was known as "Stoney," had met
with an accident, the results of
which were believed to have caus-
ed his death. However, the post
mortem did not account for the
bruised condition of the body.
Rhodes was car washer and
had lived at the Pine Apartments
on Main st. for two years. So far
as could be learned, efforts to
reach relatives have been unsuc-
cessful.
