DEATH CLAIMS NATIVE
WOMAN OF POCOMOKE

of Norfolk for 60 years; consequently
those who knew her as girl Of Po-
comoke, have dwindled to a small
number, removed by death, or other
causes, from this community.
She was, however, a frequent visi-
tor here to her relatives, and she had
retained the association with those
who still remain from the early days,
and has, also, made many new &C.
quaintances and friends.
It was easy for her to form new
ties. She was a woman with a re-
markable record; for it can be safe
ly said she never spoke evil of any
one she ever knew. Her attitude to-
ward humanity was one of sincere
affection, sympathy, understanding,
and even love. To her, there never
lived a soul but what had some good
in its makeup. She was always
ready to rush to the defense of any
one under fire, and it was impossible
to make her believe any of Gods
creations were wholly bad.
Such wholesale magnanimity was
hard to understand, and one had to
know her we'll to believe in its alb
solute reality and truthfulness. There

PUBLIC ASKED
TO VISIT P. W. A.
SEWING ROOMS
On May FL From z To 9 p. M,
When Machines Will Be
On Demonstration

The public is cordially invited to
visit the sewing project on Willow
Street over the old fire engine house.
The doors will be open to the public
Tuesday evening, May FL, from z to 9
P. NJ, where machines will be in OPP
Grafton and work will be on demon
stration.
The assistance which these projects
give to the needy offers an unexcelled
opportunity to "sell" the jobs done.
There is two-fold reason for hav-
ing these sewing projects. First, they
give employment to needy persons,
chiefly women, who are able to per-
form the work assigned, and to pro-
duce garments and articles needed by
the local welfare agencies for free dis
tribution to needy families and to tax
supported institutions.
Secondly, sewing projects make a
variety of articles, chiefly clothing,
for men, women and children; layettes
for infants; and surgical dressings
and articles used on other WPA pro-
jects. The projects are on coopera-
tive basis; that is, the sponsoring
agency pays for portion of the nom
labor costs and the remaining costs
are paid by the Federal Government.
The articles produced are turned
over to the sponsor for distribution.
1t is hoped the public will keep the
above date in mind and visit the
sewing project on Willow Street dur
ing the days of May 20, Fl, % or in
the evening, May Fl.

BEETLE TRAPS
TO Be PAINTED
YELLOW SOON
Green And White Were The Col.
Ors Adopted For The Con-
traptiOns Last Year

AS a result of tests conducted last
season by the Bureau Of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine, traps used by
field workers of the Bureau to cap
ture Japanese beetles will be painted
yellow this year instead of the more
familiar green and white combina-
ton of former years, according to DR..
George S. Langford, specialist in in
sect control for the University of
Maryland extension service.
The tests seem to show conclusively
that yellow traps may be expected to
catch 80 percent more beetles. Blu
reau officials said that their 1910
traps will be constructed of yellow
coated sheet metal and that state or
CARNATIONS probably will repaint their
trap supplies in the beetle-preferred
hue.
Since 1881 traps with green and
white tunnels and white battles have
been considered most effective. APP
proximately $4,000 of these have been
used each summer in the Bureaus
scouting" work to detect any begin
ming infestation. Traps on the mar
ket revealed wide variation in the
shades of green. To determine which
shade was most attractive, the Bu-
reau started comparative test of the
various shades of green and also in
cluded the other principal colors in
the test.
Results of this test showed that
traps painted yellow caught about so
percent more beetles than traps paint
ed entirely white or green, or those
with these colors combined. Addition
of yellow pigment to almost any paint

was no effort to curry favor; no de-
sire to seek emolument from any in
dividual, set, or clique. it was as thor
oughly part Of her as was any vital
organ. She lived to love; she poured
a wealth Of devotion on her faithful
family, and not one but rises up to
call her blessed. Her children receiv-
ed no heritage except her love. She
showered them with affection and her
faithfulness was rewarded by a noble
band Of men and women, careful Of
her comfort; tender and true to her
last breath.
Those who gathered at the last
rites revealed the widespread esteem
in which she was held. She goes to
her rest leaving memory sweet and
abiding.

A SERIES OF DENTAL
CLINICS DURING MAY
CONTINUED From Page -

at each clinic. Parents will have the
opportunity of learning the condition
of their children's teeth, obtaining
suggestions from the dentist and dis
cussing with the Nutritionist and the
Nurse the problems concerning the
child's diet.
1t is hoped that parents will take
advantage of this opportunity for all
their preschool children. Inasmuch
as a proper start in life for a child
is most important, it is particularly
hoped that all children two to three
years of age will attend.
The need for this work is apparent
when it is realized that only 1919 to
2O8o of first grade school children
have sound teeth. Sometime between
the ages of two to six decay begins
and usually progresses rapidly. The
ideal for each child is to visit the den
fist at the age of two years and every
six months thereafter. Such proceed
ure would mean sound teeth for the
children, painless dentistry and less
ultimate financial cost to the parents.
The Preschool Dental Examination
Clinics it is hoped will promote this
work in the County.
Attention is called to certain
changes which have been made in the
clinic schedule for May.
The tuberculosis Clinic will be held
in Pocomoke on May 18th instead of
Snow Hill as previously advertised.
The Mental Hygiene Clinic has been
changed from May 9th as previous
ly advertised to May Goth. The elm
ic will be held in the morning at Snow
