Then q short time ago Hank
went out alone. The motor
worked fine; he spent seven
hours up and down the Lake.

went again. And I'll be

Window Falls On Match
Box; Fire Causes $50 Loss
SHEEP NEED WORMING,
SAYS MORRIS EXPERT

Many are called but few are chos-
en- and some dent come at all. The
stomach worms got them says Pro-
lessor p. s. Jordan of the West
Central Experiment Station at Nor
ris.
The stomach worm is one Of the
sheepman's worst enemies and the
worst part of it is that many farm
ers new to the business do not re-
cognize the trouble at all, or at
tribute their losses to other causes,
when it should be laid at the door
of the stomach worm. The injury
and less falls most heavily upon the
lambs previous to weaving age.
These little worms, which can be
seen with the naked eye as they
are about three-quarters to and
inch long and as big around as an
ordinary thread, are found in the
fourth or true stomach of the
sheep. Many farmers in looking fer
them, look in the first stomach or
pouch. that part which is usually
full Of feed and so miss finding
them. The worms, If numerous, sap
the vitality Of the lamb by attack
ing the stomach wall, resulting in
an unthrifty lamb, and afterwards
cause death.
The symptoms Of stomach worms
in lambs can be recognized by an
unthrifty condition, hanging head,
dropping ears, tagging behind, and
usually a diarrhea. Lambs infested
heavily with stomach worms, if
they escape death, are so retarded
in their growth and Heshing that
they must be finished on a heavy
grain ration in the fall or sold at a
decided discount as a low-grade
feeding lamb. Wet seasons always
aggravate the situation as 1t pro-
vides the proper conditions for the
rapid development of larva of this
common sheep parasite.
The treatment, says Professor
Jordan, is simple, cheap and effec-
tive, and consists in giving each
lamb of about 40 to 60 pounds i'm
weight a 2-ounce dose of a 1 per
cent solution Of copper sulphate,
giving the first treatment about
June 1 and repeating every 30
days. More complete details of the
disease and it's treatment Is given
in a University of Minnesota fold.

foot slipped and his hand hit the
shift lever and threw the machine
into reverse. AS a result, his right
foot got caught between the tract
or and the pillow. Because Of the
noise the machine was making he
was unable to call loud enough to
summon help. He was able to
reach the tool box, however, and
he took several wrenches which he
threw at the throttle, but missed
each time. Finally he picked up
the last remaining wrench, took
careful aim, and fired. The wrench
hit the throttle and shut off the
roaring tractor. Ralph then called
for help and when he was rescued
he was found to have a broken leg

Final Lecture Delivered
In Sales Forum Series

The final lecture in a series Of
sales forums was held last Tuesday
night in the United States Chamber
OF Commerce, with j. Garrett Belt
zell discussing CLOSING the Sale
Mr.. Bethel stated that purchasing
a home is to most people the most
important act of their lives, as it
leads to better citizenship, independ-
ence and security in old age. Real
estate is safer than all other invest
ments,'' Mr.. Bethel said, "and here
in the Nations Capital it is the best
in the world"
In discussing the signing of con-
tracts he stated that much depends
on the salesmen's ability to familiar
ize himself with all phases of the
transaction and to be able to present
them intelligently. He stressed the
importance of using the standard
form of contract adopted by the
Washington Real Estate Board many
years age and suggested that the
contract not only be read by the
prospective purchaser but that it b.
explained to him as we'll.
The sales forums have been held
under the auspices of the Committee
on Education OF the Washington
Real Estate Board In closing the
session Tuesday, Joseph A. Herbert,
jr, chairman of the committee, ex-
pressed his appreciation for the yer

total OF IS apartments were in
cluded in Col. Oehmann's summary
Of last months building activity.
These structures have a capacity
of 556 families and are estimated
to cost $l,589.500. In February only
II apartments were approved and
these we're capable of housing 229
families. They cost $565 900.
The valuation of additions. altera-

NEW NYLON
UNIT, SEAFORD
DUPONT Company Says De-
mand Resulted in New
Building Decision
ONE-THIRD INCREASE

A decision to build a second
nylon manufacturing unit at Sea
ford, where the initial unit is now
under construction, was announced
Wednesday afternoon of last week
by E. I. DUPONT de Nemours &
Company. Erection of the addi-
tional section has been prompted
by prospective demands for nylon,
which recently caused the company
to increase to II the number of
spinning machines in the first unit
from the nine originally planned.
Prospective demands for nylon
.necessitates increasing the plants
facilities at Seaford", the COM
pany's statement said.
''The original plans for the first
unit, now in course of construction,
called for nine spinning machines.
In keeping with balancing out
program recently adopted, the to-
tai will be increased to II.
''The executive committee has
directed the engineering depart
ment to proceed with designs for
a second unit at Seaford. Details
incident to the second unit wait
upon-completion of the engineering
activities"
Work on the first unit was start
ed early this year. 1t is expected
to be completed and in operation
early next year.
In July, the Dupont Company
announced acquisition of the 153-
acre Martin farm west of Seaford
for development into a residential
community for members of the SUI
pervisory and clerical forces and
also of II acres of land bordering
the nylon property on the south for
wells to provide water for the
plant. The original site comprised
$40 acres.
The unit now being built is 1000
feet long and 300 feet deep, with
approximately 100000 square feet
of floor space It is of steel and
concrete and is air-conditioned
Machinery used has to be specially
designed
The nylon plant site is on the
northern bank of the Nanticoke
River, adjacent to the Cambridge
branch of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and is about one mile south
west of Seaford Nylon has gain
ed worldwide attention since its
development was announced year
ago. The DUPONT Company last
May obtained four patents for hos
iery and other knitted fabrics made
of nylon, which is derived basically
