Midland Grange No. q of George
town, which has a membership of
208 has maintained an enviable
record of activity for the year.
Sept. /, 1858 ending August 30,
1854 Various financial enterprises

prOximately So per cent of the
membership participated in the
events spending an approximate
total of 4,141 hours of time and
driving an estimated total of 900
miles in carrying out the projects.
The local Grange had more
women participating in the Delmar-
va Chicken festival than any other
Grange in the state. Midland Grange
had a booth to serve luncheOns at
the Festival and the net profit was
$775.O0. The general chairman for
the booth was Mrs. Harvey Warr-
ingtOn, who stated that Grange
members had aided 100 per cent in
this venture, either by actual work
ing hours or contributing food and
transportation necessary for the
project.

Elm Leaf Beetle
Causes Lace-Like
Brown Leaves

Brown curled leaves on your elm
trees with a fancy lace-like look
are caused by the little dark-cOlor-
ed beetle which pestered you last
winter when it appeared in your
attic. In other words, the elm leaf
beetle has just been through the
leaf feeding stage, states Louis A.
Stearns, Extension entOmologist at
the University of Delaware.
Last winter housewives were
disturbed by this little beetle hiber-
mating in the attics and other
secluded places and appearing in
great numbers on warm days. The
little bug did no harm while in the
house.
It's too late now to control the
elm leaf larvae feeding. An insec-
ticide for this should have been
applied in early June. At least this
is true in most areas of the state.
Since most elms are medium to
large trees, it is necessary to de-
pend upon commercial arbOrists or
town Officials to do the Job.
For control of the elm leaf beetle.
Stearns recommends lead arsenate.
6 pounds in 100 gallons of water.
or pounds of 500 wettable DDT
powder. For small trees which can
be reached by hand equipment, 10
tablespOOnfuls of lead arsenate or
2 tablespoonfuls Of the DDT in
each gallon of water.
Another invasion of attics can
be expected next winter where
damage to elm trees has been plen-
tiful this year.

PRIVACY: - Opera Star
Louise Homer and her hus-

many an anguished week

must be as soundproof as

With a knowing wink, the
agent showed them a series
OF coy retreats. Upon enter

OF the house and sing at the

minutes they would stop and,
hold a whispered consulta-

One morning, when the

lost patience.

Miss BraSh's opening bid was
weak but she was Swayed by her
holding of nine cards in the
major suits, Mr.. Dale overcalled
two diamonds and Mr.. Cham
pion. with every justification,
doubled.
Here Mr.. Masters showed ex-
cellent partnership cooperation.
He passed. His partner had not
asked him to bid. In fact. Mr..
Dale's failure to make takeout
double strongly suggested that
he would not welcome bid from
Mr.. Masters.
Miss Brash's pass was horrible
and showed a complete lack of
cooperation. She should have
bid two hearts. thereby telling
her partner that she held sec
ond suit and that she had very
poor hand for defending against
two diamonds.
Mr.. Champion opened the 10
of spades, and Miss Brash won
with the king and returned her
lone diamond. Mr.. Dale put up
the king and it lost to the ace.
Mr.. Champion then led the six
of hearts. and the king fell to
the ace in the closed hand.
Now Mr.. Dale led the seven
of diamonds, Mr.. Champion
ducked. a spade was discarded
from dummy and Miss BraSh
also dropped small spade. Next
came the eight Of diamonds and
Mr.. Champion won with the
queen. Another spade went on
from the board and Miss BraSh
played a low heart.
Mr.. Champion returned his
last trump and Mr.. Dale won
and led a club. Mr.. Champion
went in with the ace and saw
that he wasn't going to beat the
hand unless he could put his
partner in to cash a spade win
ner. He therefore underled his
queen Of hearts and Mr.. Dale
won with the jack and discarded
his jack Of spades on dummy's
clubs. making an extra trick.
In the other room the first
round Of bidding was the same.
But the South player elected to
save" his partner from the two
diamond double by bidding two
spades. This lack Of cooperation
was disastrous. West and North
passed and East bid two no
trump. South passed and West
then bid three hearts with East
raised to four. Five-odd was
made when West took the dia-
mond flnesse and got rid Of a
club. He lost only a heart and a
club.
