The muskrat trapping season
opened on Monday with poor pros
poets of a profitable trapping sea-
son. Those who reside on the bor-
ders of the two great trapping mar
shes, Prime Hook and Broadkill,
say that, despite the great quantity
of feed on these marshes, very few
rats are seen in the ponds apd
streams. The concensus of opinion
is that these marshes have been
trapped to DEATH" and that closed
season of two years should be de-
clared in order to allow the breed
ing stock to replenish the marshes.
While a few trap lines have been
laid on small marsh holdings, the
larger trappers will not lay their
traps until the first of January in
order that fur may thieken and be-
come more valuable. Is is very like
ly that bill will be introduced in
the next Delaware Legislature plac-
ing a two-year closed season on
muskrat trapping in Sussex.
There will be dedicatory serv-
Ice OF new pulpit furniture at Grace

Stone-Dea Paul Strachan Wages
Battle For Physically Handicapped

chan's untiring efforts, the Civ
il Service Commission classified
1900 of a total of $4,000 differ
ent government jobs as open to
physically disabled persons
compared with 365 out of $500
five years ago.
5. He is strongly behind a
proposed law, introduced in
January, 1916, chiefly because
of his insistence, which would
integrate the activities of Al
federal agencies concerned with
handicapped persons and e
quire all industries and bust
nesses handling federal con-
tracts to fill up the two percent
of their jobs with handicapped
persons.
Strachan is convinced his mis-
sion is a good one:
we can 'rehabilitate'-and
that is one word Strachan dis
likes intensely-"a disabled
person for about $3.50 a year. 1t
costs at least twice that much
to keep him in dependency. So
it's good business to lend a
hand"
He has attracted many of the
nations leaders to join his fight.
They include Senators johnson
Cd. Colo.) and Sparkman Cd.
Ala.); Reps. Carson (R. o., Nc
Cormack Cd. Mass.), Kelley ID.
Pa.) and Charles E. Potter, leg
less veteran recently elected to
Congress as a Republican from
Michigan.
Strachan, married and the
father of four sons, three of
whom were in service, leans
heavily on Miss Mildred Scott,
secretary of the federation, her
self handicapped as the result
of infantile paralysis.
Miss Scott is Strachan's
ears" He talks constantly
over the telephone although
he is unable to hear the other
person. Miss Scott listens in
and relays the conversation to
Strachan. He reads her lips.

POLICE LIEUTENANT
ADVISES PARENTS

1t. Ralph Brophy, head of the
police juvenile bureau Of Des
Moines, Iowa, in public statement
recently, says that parents are
largely responsible for juvenile de-
hnquency. He says that there are
five things which parents can do
that will make their children ju-
venile delinquents. These are:
1. Don't give your child any re-
1igious or spiritual training.
2. Don't let him discuss his plans,
problems or pleasures, so he will
not develop affection, security or
trust in you.
3. Don't open your home to his
or her companions; they will muss
up the place. Don't be- concerned
where he or she spends his or her
free time.
4. Never praise your child for his
worthwhile effort; don't encourage
him in doing the right thing. Con-
stantly nag at him and threaten
him.
5. Don't pay any attention to
what your child does or, says. He
should be able to take care Of him
self in this day and age.
The lieutenant goes further and
declares: Boys and girls who at
tend Sunday School and church
regularly are not likely to fall into
the arms of the law as delinquent
children" This statement was made
following a bureau survey of chill
dren's activities during 1916, in
eluding an investigation Of juvenile
participation in thefts, drinking Of
Intoxicating liquors, running away
from home, truancy, smoking, and
vandalism.

FLOWER AIDS

L. A. Niven, Horticultural editor
for The Progressive Farmer, gives
these directions for controlling two
common diseases of favorite garden
flowers:
Azalea Spot-As soon as flower
spot appears on azaleas, spray with
dithane. Buy it from seed stores
and apply two or three times a
week until the disease disappears.
Directions. for diluting come with
each container.
Rose Mildew - Roses are nearly
always attacked by mildew and
black spot. Control these by dust
ing frequently from early in the
season until late. Sulphur does
fair job, but Fermate does a better
job. Buy it from seed stores.
