This is the ANNUAL HOUSE
CLEANING season, and IN UNI
earthing some things that have
not been moved since this time
last year you are likely to find
the ravages of SILVERFlsH' Or
maybe you don't have to turn
upside down, you are al
ready too conscious Of the slend-
err, wingless, scale covered insects.
They are slightly more than three
eighths of an inch long, with
three long tail like appendages at
the hind end Of the body, and two
long slender feelers at the head
end.
'SILVERFISH are of two spe-
cies. The more common one has
a uniform silvery or pearl gray
color; the other called "fire brat
is distinguished by dusky mark
ings on its back. They hide dur
ing the day time and are not Of
ten seen except when objects are
moved. Silverfish thrive best IN
damp, warm Easements, but cause
serious harm almost anywhere
even in rooms and attics that are
never artificially heated. They
are likely to be present in sur
large numbers in new
buildings, the walls of which are
still damp.
THESE PESKY LITTLE IN
SECTS feed upon the sizing IN
paper, bookbindings, wall paper
and starchy insulation materials.
They also eat holes to some extent
in thin fabrics, particularly ray
on. SEARCHED clothing and lace
curtains may be ruined by silver
fish as they extract the starch
from them. Experiments indicate
that they prefer vegetable foods
having a high starch or sugar
content and are very fond OF moist
wheat flour.
MAYBE YOU ARE NOT IN
in the complete life
history of these animals, but 1t
seems that silvarfish develop
very slowly under usual house
and have few young,
but those that are there are hardy
and able to subsist under unfav-
orable food conditions for long
periods. Silverfish are controlled
most cheaply by use OF poison
ed bait an excellent one being;
one and three fourths cups Of oat-
meal, ground to flour, a fourth
teaspoon of white arsenic, a halt
teaspoon of sugar, and a fourth
teaspoon of salt. Mix together
dry, the oatmeal, arsenic, sugar,
and salt. Moisten the mass and
mix we'll to bind the substances
together. Then thoroughly dry
the bait to prevent mold, and
grind it into small bits so that it
can be scattered easily.
IF THE WHITE ARSENIC IS
not available, ask your druggist
for sodium fluoride powder. II
this is used, simply mix the ma
terials thoroughly but do not add
moisture. Place about teaspoon
of bait in each Of several shallow
box tops. Distribute the boxes in
the places where the silverfish
seem to be most numerous. Cow
err the box loosely with a crump-
led sheet of paper.
SILVERFISH are not as large
as mice, nor is their damage as
obvious as that of the clothes
moth. Yet they do cause, over
period Of time, enough damage
to seriously concern the house
wife, and every effort be made to
rid your place of them.

seated themselves about the stove.
Mrs. Kurtz sat on a sofa near the
stove with Charles, Jr., on her lap.
One of the other children sat on the
sofa beside her mother, while the
other two were on the floor playing
with the two year-old daughter of
Mrs. Hover.
Without any warning the stove
exploded, the top, bottom, and sides
flying in all directions. Parts of the
stove were blown through the wall
of the house and the explosion was
heard two blocks away. Two windows
in the house were blown out.
For a time it was feared that the
outcome of the injuries to the mother
and two of the children would be
fatal. Only one of the children, Mary,
died however, and the others are
progressing in fairly satisfactory
manner.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined, but it is thought
that possibly a dynamite cap might
have been in the coal or else that it
was caused by the explosion of an
accumulation of coal gas in the stove.

VERY ODD SPECIMEN OF
OWL SEEN IN STATE

An Arctic owl, very odd specimen
of the owl family, was given to Mr..
H. C. Mccormick, taXidermist of
Raspeburg, Baltimore Co., for mount
ing during the past week, by hunter
who had shot it near the Gunpowder
River. The bird is of giant size and
beautiful snowy plumage.
The presence of this variety of owl
in this latitude is very unusual as its
habitat is in the cold regions of the
earth. Only one or two have evel
been seen this far south. The ow
mounted by Mr.. Mccormick is sup.
posed to have migrated from Alaska
though by what means or route is moi
known.
Many of the old residents of the
vicinity believe that the arrival Of
an owl of this type in this section
presages a cold winter. They base
this belief on the fact that the OWLS
instinct for self preservation caused
it to flee from an extremely rigorous
northern winter.

floor to the Howers.
Mr.. Hover is reported to have
bought an egg type coal stove Satur-
day afternoon and installed it in his
apartment. He had started a fire in
the stove, it is reported, and had just
put some coal in before leaving the
house to go to nearby hardware
store for some nails. He had Just
gone to the store when Mrs. Kurtz
and her children went over to visit

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
TWO ATTORNEYS NAMED
BY BAR ASSOCIATION

To fill the vacancy on the bench
of the First Judicial Circuit the
Maryland State Bar Association
has recommended George H. Myers
of Princess Anne as first choice;
and for the second choice w. Laird
Henry, Jr., of Cambridge, if the
appointment should be made on
geographical line." The vacancy is
caused by the retirement of Judge
Sangston T. Insley, who on Novem-
Der the 18th, reached the legal re-
tirement age.
Mr.. George H. My ers of Princess
Anne, made the first choice of the
bar association, is former partner
of the late Joshua W. Miles, and rec
ognized as one of the outstanding
attorneys of the State. He was a
candidate for chief judgeship in the
primary in which Chief Judge Ben
lamin A. Johnson was named.
Mr.. Henry is the son of the late
w. Laird Henry, of Cambridge, a
former member of the bench and
held many other important positions.
He is also regarded as an able at
torney. Both of these gentlemen are
gentlemen of the old school of the
highest personal integrity.
The Governor has not, at the
time this is written, made the ap-
pointment as he has been spending
some time in Florida on a much need
ed rest and vacation trip. It is ex-
pected that the appointment may be
announced almost any day now. The
appointment lasts for four years or
until the next general election.
