 The powder wiped off, they put her in winter party dress of blue sheer wool crepe, a straight hanging one with its panels piped in pink, and a couple of tiny pink velvet bows and sprays of embroidered flowers for trim. She skated back to the cam- era, shrieked "Yee-e-e-ah!" and beamed for another shot.

AUTO FATALITIES

Connecticut Reports z07 Deaths for First Eleven
 Months of Year

Hartford, Conn, December 20. = An increase of 5.4 per cent in the number of persons killed by automo- piles in the New England States so far this year has been reported to- day by the Safety Education De- pertinent of The Aetna Casualty and Surety Company.
 Statistics indicate 1,267 persons died because of automobile acci- dents -- 65 more than during the same period of 1899. The states of Connecticut and Maine showed slight decreases, but the other four states failed to keep the fatalities down.
 The following table, compiled from information furnished by the Motor Vehicle Commissioners in these states, shows the number of fatali- ties in each state and the percent age of decrease or increase.

"She had i've or six costumes in her last picture, Sandy Gets Her Man." and her favorite of them all was white embroidered cotton pin- afore. It had double ruffles on the shoulders, edged in lace, and there were panties to match, too.
 Seems to me the seat of Sandy's pants is always showing. Why don't they make more of those bloomer- dresses? They're so sensible and 50 cute"

Hats are wasted on her, Mrs. Henyille said, and she also ve- toed rows of buttons to fasten, fine pleated skirts, and the smock-and- slacks outfits for little girls of three.

In June, 1884, three years after

Siberia, there were found near
Julianshaab, in Greenland, a num-

FIRST EGG GRADING STATION
Operating at Middletown-Regu
Markets for Small Outputs

The first of Delaware's egg grad
ing stations started operations last
week at Middletown. It is hoped
that this and other egg grading
stations proposed for the State
will be instrumental in removing
so-called "1oose eggs" from gTutted
markets. And at the same time
they will likely establish a regular
market outlet for producers hav-
ing relatively small outputs. The
establishment of the stations in an
outgrowth of negotiations between
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, the State Board of
Agriculture and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture to make Fed

WHEAT RATES
SET FOR STATE
Farmers To Make Arrange
ments at County AAA Office
for Loans After Harvest
WILL BE DEMAND LOANS

The 1910 wheat loan rate for
Delaware farmers in New Castle
and Kent Counties is 76 cents per
busheI on No. 1 soft red winter
wheat and the loan rate for Sussex
County farmers is IS cents for the
same grade Of wheat, according to
r. o. Stelze,r executive officer for
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration in Delaware The
loan rate for the No. wheat is
one cent less than for the No. L
grade and the rate for No. wheat
is three cents less than for the No.
1 grade in each Delaware county.
Stelzer says that Delaware wheat
farmers who participate in the
1910 AAA farm program are as
slIred of the loan rate price plus
the 1910 wheat conservation and
parity payments for each bushel of
their wheat this year, regardless of
market price. Conservation and
party payments which wheat farm
erS may earn on the normal yleld
of their allotments total 10 cents.
Thus those farmers who keep
within their allotments, have aver
age yields and take out wheat
loans will receive about 8S cents
per bushel for this years crop of
No. 2 garlicky wheat. The pres
ence of wild garlic and smut in
heat results in deductions from the
loan rate. Light garlicky wheat is
docked two cents per bushel while
garlicky wheat will have a deduc-
tion of six cents per bushel. The
loan rate deduction for light smut
ty wheat is three cents and for
smutty wheat, six cents. These
deductions apply to all wheat

FIND WEEVIL IN
STORED GRAIN
Lack of Proper Cleaning, Too
Much Moisture Content Both
Cause of Weevil Damage
SUGGEST PRECAUTIONS

With the seasons harvest of
grain crops now almost completed
and with a good portion of the
grain likely to be stored on farms.
j. NJ. Amos, assistant entomologist
of the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, sounds the timely
warning that damage to farm
stored grain by weevils generally
is caused by either the lack Of
proper cleaning Of the bins, thresh-
ing and storing grain too high in
moisture content, or to both of
these conditions. Through obser-
walton and experience, Amos has
found that well-dried grain, stored
in a clean bin free from WeeyiIs
rarely becomes infested with the
usual granary weevils. Here are
the precautions which Amos sug-
gests for farmers who are plan
ming to store grain on the farm:
First, remove odd lots of feed and
grain in or near the bins to be
used for new grain. New wheat
to be stored on the farm should be
threshed thoroughly dry Avoid
storing it on top of old wheat, or
even in a bn adjoining old grain.
Second, thoroughly sweep out bins,
including grain behind bin Innings
and between partitions Then
sweep hydrated lime into the floor
cracks. Third, where grain or grain
fragments fill cracks and crevices.
spray the floors and walls with de-
odorized kerosene, or with a 10
per cent solution of dormant spray
oil. Do this at least two weeks
before storing new grain. When
grain is found to be infested with
weevils, fumigate it without delay.
According to Mr.. Amos, the best
fumigant to use in farm bins is
carbon bisulide at the rate of
three pounds of the poisonous
chemical to each 100 bushels Of
grain. If followed as suggested.
these control measures will great
ly reduce the chances of weevl
damage later. There are complete
directions for fumigating weevil-
infested grain available to Della
ware farmers. These directions
may be obtained without cost by
writing Mr.. Amos at the Unive,-
sity of Delaware, Newark.

THROUGH no one would mistake
a mosquito for movie star, the
two do have one thing in common.
Mosquitoes can definitely express
their emotions. They are able to
register their likes and dislikes as
vividly and accurately as any screen
idol on a Hollywood lot
This fact has been discovered by
scientists at Rutgers University.
This research group has been study
ing insects for more than five years
in an effort to find a chemical COM
bination that would really protect
human beings against the bites of
insect pests. 1t is in the course of
their work Of testing the effects of
these chemicals upon the mosquitoes
that the scientists have developed
a "code of emotions"
For example, mosquitoes express
irritation by flying rapidly back and
Smyrna times., 1940-08-01

find which combination was most
effective in keeping mosquitoes from
biting. Scores of these combinations
were eliminated because they had
an unpleasant odor, or irritated the
skin, or were difficult to remove.
During the winter months the Rut-
gers scientists have raised mosqui-
toes in the University laboratory 50
that the work could go on without
interruption.
AS a result Of their patient re-
search, the Rutgers laboratory staff
have been rewarded. They report
that they have developed lotion
that protects humans better than
any other. Not only does this sub
stance battle mosquitoes, but it keeps
away gnats, sand fieas, black flies,
deer flies, chiggers and similar
pests. One application may last as
long as three hours.

grades. AS in previous years, the
wheat loans will be made by the
Commodity Credit Corporation. All
1910 loans will be demand loans
and the interest rate will be three
per cent. Farmers may make ar
rangements at the county AAA
offices for taking out loans soon
after harvest. At the same time
farmers can check with the coun-
ty offices to find out which eleva-
tors have been approved for wheat
storage.
