In spite of all the scrubbing that fou can do, the floors and base boards, especially around the kitchen and bath, are not really clean and while many a poor woman has bruised her knees and worn herself out scrubbing tnd scrubbing, the desired result canlot be obtained unless some cleaning antiseptic is used intelligently. Formaldehyde is the simplest and least expensive of these disinfectants and is popular because it does not dis color or affect wood, furniture or draperies with which it may come in contact, and while it has a strong acrid smell, It soon evaporates and leaves everything sweet and clean.

Passing between the two lines of straight young soldiers in khaki, on through those in blue, came a fife and drum corps leading seventy Civil war veterans, bowed with years but wearing their uniforms with lasting pride. Immediately following the corps came the flag bearer with the local G. A. R. silk Dag. Wounded Richmond soldiers unable to march in the parade were driven in automobiles and followed the Civil war veterans. Next came the SpanishAmerican veterans, preceding the various relief corps of the local companies, the grandchildren of. veterans and the boy scouts. dehyde and it has been proven that to nse It hot! will give much quicker and better results than to use It cold. The same principle applies to scrubbing. It is not difficult to tell how strong to make the solution in hot water. Make it just as strong as you can stand the odor. It can be applied with an or dinary scrubbing brush around refrigerators and sinks and in cellars and dark passages it may be applied with an ordinary spray gun. The matter of health and sanitation is one of the leading subjects being taught by the home decorating agents In every county. Boys and girls' clubs and schools are learning the modern practice of absolute cleanliness. No bouse cleaning should begin without a supply of for-' maldehyde. - Where there has been sickness, the room should be fumigated with a formaldehyde candle and then thoroughly aired out and sunshine admitted, if possible.

IS ESTABLISHED Five 7,800 Ton Cargo Car riers Are ent Overboard at Hog Island TQcay. (fly Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, May 36. A a fitting celebration of Memorial day. Hog Island established a world s record for ship launching at one yard today, by sanding overboard fire 7,$00 ton cargo carriers in eighty minutes. The yard was thrown open to the public and plans bad been made for handling a Quarter of a million per sons. Secretary or tha Navy yanieia, number of shipping board officials and a large delegation oi United States senators and representatives witnessed tha launchlngs. All of the ships are alike, each 400 feet long and 50 feet beam, Four of them, the Nedmac. the Pipestone County, tha Maiden Creek and the Le high, are named after counties wmcn won honors In the Liberty loan campaigns. ' The Fifth vessel la named Luxpalia. Mrs. Mary Balrd Fox of Camden, daushter of former U. S. Senator Da vid Baird of . New Jersey, christened the Nedmac. Miss Lois Gelger, chos en by the Pipestone county, Minnesota, Liberty loan committee, was sponsor for the Pipestone County; Miss Erma j Reiser, Reading, Pa., christened tne Maiden. Creek and Mrs. William R. Thomas, Allentown, Pa., broke the bot tle of champagne over the prow of the Lehigh. The Luxpalia, was christened by Mrs, J. 8. Andrew, wife of the manager of the Division of Hull construction at Hog iaiana. . Soldiers Are Honored. Reading. Allentown and Camden sent large delegations to the launchlngs, while Pipestone county, Minnwas represented by a delegation or lifty persons.Aside from the launcmngs. Philadelphia's observance of Memorial day was more widespread than ever be fore. Freeh memories of heroic deeds done by American boys in France were- linked with recollections -f the fortitude of the men who saved the Union nearly sixty years ago. There were hosts of celebrations, but the observance around which all others centered, was the decoration of the graves of Civil war and other veterans. In thirty-eight public squares special Memorial day exercises were held. For ten minutes before these exercises started church bells all over the city rang, summonins: the public to attend. Never again will the united states be ruilty of the folly of trusting its foreign commerce to the ships' of other nations, or of Quitting the ship building industry, declared Secretary of the Navy Daniels, in an aaaress delivered today at the Hog Island shipyards on the occasion ol the .suc cessful launching of five steel rreigntera the greatest single day's launching in the history of any yard in the world. The five vessels added 39,000 tons to the American merchant marine. - Rebirth of Marine "We could not, if we would, as a nation." said Secretary Daniels, "longer live between the two oceans depent upon foreign bottoms for our overseas commerce. We will not quit, the shipbuilding industry or ever again be guilty of the folly of trusting our foreign commerce to foreign bottoms. We will put the industry on a firm, sound basis. ' "One of the chief compensations ol the burden of the great struggle is the restoration of the American merchant marine, or rather its re-birth, for we are building up on a scale that was not dreamed of even in the early days when the American flag and American commerce was seen in all parts of the world. In spite -of -the mistakes due eo haste and the high cost under war conditions, a great and lasting good has come from the revival of shipbuilding in the war. "The genius, statemanship and skill of America must be united in the development of a merchant marine and naval strength which will not alone contribute to the supplying of the needs of other nations but insure wider markets for the ever increasing surplus of American toil." Chairman Hays' Mother Zealous For His Work MUSKOGEE. Okla.. May 30. Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman, spoke here Thursday on national political issues, after receiving a telegram from Sullivan, Ind., announcing the death there Wednesday night, of his mother.

Brings Joy To Russia (By Associate Press) STOCKHOLM. Thursday, May 29.A dispatch received her dealing with the recent capture of Riga by Letts Say the Bolshevikl were completely surprised. A majority of tha garrison were) made prisoners and all the shops and houses Of the wealthiest persons were pillaged. The town was without traffic when the dispatch was sent and wis described as seeming to be absolutely dead.. It is stated In the dispatch that famine and misery prevailed and that the news Of the arrival of aa American food commission on Sunday was received with enthusiasm. HONOR PAID (Continued from Page One) : continued its work, except on" the floor where the time was devoted solely to the resolution. The measure, introduced by republican leader Mondell was framed after conferences with democrat and republican leaders. To those who served in the armed and auxiliary forces at home and abroad, the resolution tendered the thanks of congress and "its deep and heartfelt sympathy to those whose kindred fell or were permanently disabled In the great struggle." concluding: - "That congress reverently expresses Its profound appreciation of sublime act of these who made the supreme sacrifice by giving their lives for their country and their country's cause." Appeals to Labor. . The significance of Memorial day this year, the first ainoe the close of the war, was interpreted In statements by Secretaries Baker and Wilson and acting Secretary of State Polk. "The spiritual progress of America." said Secretary ; Baker, "Is shown by our addition of fresh glory to this day set apart to memorialize the nation's heroic dead. There is no division of its ancient significance, but fresh meaning is added by those who have died on foreign soil to perpetuate the liberties for which their ancestors gave their lives at home." Secretary Wilson appealed to the labor forces of the country especially to recognize that it is their "privilege to carry on the work for which the nation's heroes have died. "While the war was on," said Secre tary Wilson, "our slogan wae 'Labor will win the war.' In this period of reconstruction, it is in labor's hands the tools are placed. Let us build a permanent memorial indeed, a memorial whose foundation is American pluck and perseverance, and whose structure is American integrity and loyalty." Indiana Pays Tribute. INDIANAPOLIS. May $0. Veterans old and young paid tribute today to the memories of those who have de parted while just plain citizens show ed the reverance and respect In which they hold the memory of the soldiers and sailors who have died.

Graves of the soldier, sailor, marine ana Ked cross nurse dead, were vis ited and thereupon floral tributes of the living were placed. Exercises appropriate to the occasion were held, although in a number of cities and especially in the towns, the public exercises of -respect will not be held until Sunday. One of the principal events in connection with the observation here was the presenting of the Croix de Guerre to Private Leroy Holmes of Indianapolis, who served with the Marine corps. ORLANDO AND (Continued from Page One) dispatches as to the future status of Zara, capital of Dalmatia, and Sebenico, a seaport on the coast 70 miles southeast of Triest. President Wilson and Premier Orlando were in conference . this morning over the details of the settlement which was said to be assuming definite shape. Experts are busily engaged in the task of translating their German coun ter proposals submitted yesterday by tne enemy delegation. TREATY HONEST (Continued from Page One) makes Germany truly harmless. It forces her to repair everything which she should and can repair; everything which we condemned her repair on the eleventh of November last and everything which the universal conscience of the world demands that she should repair. "To challenge the need of such a guarantee is to confess to having lived for five years outside of humanity and to ignoring the martyrdom which such aggression has inflicted on it." Captain Tardieu warned the Americans against intrigues, at home and abroad, which, he said, tended to break down the friendship between America and France and might "befog the conscience of the people." NC-4 STARTS (Continued from Page One) altitude of about 2,000 feet in calm, beautiful flying weather. . . When the United States seaplane NC-4 left Lisbon this morning, the weather was cloudy. There was a barometric depression over the bay of Biscay but the weather was clear over the English channel, with a light southerly breeze. Late reports received here by wireless say that the NC-4 developed trou ble In both starboard motors which unbalanced the plane and compelled Lieutenant Commander Read to land. The plane was not damaged. Commander Read is attempting to repair the motors and may try to reach Vigo or Corunna before darkness sets in. IS SOLE SURVIVOR PLYMOUTH, Eng., May 80. The United States naval seaplane NC-4 left Lisbon for this port at 5:80 o'clock this morning. The seaplane NC-4, sole survivor of three giant machines which left Rockaway Point, N. Y., on May 8 on the epochal air voyage across the Atlantic,

reached Lisbon at 8:0$ o'clock Greenwich time, on the evening of Tuesday, May 27, after a wonderful flight from Ponta Delgada, Azores. The first day following her arrival at the Portuguese port was spent in inspecting the craft and It wag expected that the maehiue

would start for Plymouth on May. 89. but adverse weather .conditions made a postponement of her flight advisable. When the nc-4 reached Lai Don sne had traveled since leaving Rockaway Point, a distance ef 8,150 sea miles, having been in the air 43 hours and. S3 minutes. Her average speed had been 72 miles (sea) per hour for the whele journey, although her speed from Trepassey, Newfoundland, to Horta, Azores and from Ponta Delgada to Lisbon averaged far above that figure. From Lisbon to Plymouth Is approximately 775 sea miles. WIRE8 WAR DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON, May SO.-VTha navy department was officially advised of the departure of the seaplane NC-4 from Lisbon for Plymouth at 5 o'olock this morning in a brief message from Admiral Cummin gs at Lisbon. The starting time was given as 5:24 Greenwich time (1:20 a, m.) Washington time. Slow cable communication keeps the department about four or five hours behind in news of progress of the flight At 7:30 o'clock Washington time. they navy department received a message from the U. S. S. Aroostook at Plymouth saying "NC-4 passed station ship A but not been sighted by destroyer Rathburn. The time .was garbled and it was not made clear whether the Rathburn was station ship B. the second of the line of de stroyers extending from Lisbon to Plymouth, or one further on. Although she landed at Mondego river, 100 miles north of Lisbon, the American naval seaplane NC-4 Is "O. K." according to a message from Lieut. Commander Albert C. Read for the cruiser Rochester at Lisbon, re ceived at the navy department. The message said: "NC-4 at Mon dego river. Must wait high tide. Seaplane O. K. Cannot make Plymouth tonight. Request destroyer keep stationed. What Is best port to north to land seaplane within 300 miles. Signed "READ." HEROES OF (Continued from Page One) the fact Many soldiers of the na tional army came west, however, and setled in this section of the country. A few are buried here. The Eighth was commanded by George Hunt, and his majors were Smith Hunt, buried at Elkhorn, and George Holman, buried at Maple Grove. William Jordan of Economy, received a pension for his services in the East in 1812 and Is buried there, and there are doubtless graves of several more throughout the county. The Mexican war did not arouse much Interest In Wayne. The Friends thought it a war conducted without justice against a weaker people and history has confirmed their view. No company was organized here, but it is supposed that many of Wayne's boys went to war with companies from Henry and other counties. Wayne Furnished General. Perhaps the most distinguished soldier in this war from Wayne was General William P. Benton, who Is, however, not burled here. Many soldiers of the civil war secured pensions for their services In the Mexican war as well as for those of '61 to '65. Joseph j Kelkle, . who was born in 1830 and marched down to fight Santa Anna in '47, lived in Richmond until three or four years ago, but it Is not thought there are any veterans of this war still alive. Many of them are buried in the county, however. The county's record in the Civil war, when almost as many soldiers went to defend the Union as went in the World war sixty years later, needs no comment. There are hundreds of them burled in the county, and the scant fraction of the boys who fought and . bled for four long years to preserve the Union, did not receive today as much honor as younger soldiers would like to give them. There is a number, however, who never lived to die In the county and they lie in all the fields where the South struggled against the North. Scores Died of Disease. Many men who have died since the end of the Spanish war, and who took part in that conflict, also were honored today. The county lost very lew in battle, but there were scores who died of fever and disease while in camp In '98. Lastly, the seventeen boys who fell in action on French soil in the great struggle which is Just passed, with those who died in training camps, while in this country who died for their country just as truly as they who fell in France, were shown honor today in all ceremonies. None of the seventeen who fell in France, or those who died there of disease has yet been brought back to lie in his native soil, but there are several boys who died in camp whose bodies were' brought back. The graves of these were decorated. The gold-star roll is: Harry Ray, William Fishietti, LeRoy Tout. Frank Genn, Paul Hunt, Frank Lichtenf els, Vernon Goldsberry, Walter Niebur, Andy Norton, Robert Kirk, Tony Frascionc, Ralph Beselman, Roy H. Bailey, Ralph Moore, Daniel Kelley, Glen Wagner and Howard Armstrong. All were killed In action.

P LANT diseases and insect pests are continually being Introduced Into this country through the im portation of nursery stock and other plants which have been disastrous' over wide sections of the country, This has resulted in the department of agriculture putting Into effect a quarantine against such importations which takes place June 1st. , One of the most recent and most dangerous invasions Is the European corn borer which has already Infested field corn and sweet corn In Massa chusetts and New York. '. Farmers are urged to look for this Insect and report It as soon as possible through their county agents to the department at Washington.

Soldier Dead (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 30. Boy Scouts of the United States by contributions of two cents each purchased the wreaths which President Wilson laid today on the graves of American dead in the military cemetery at Suresnes, near Paris. The wreaths were dedicated to the memory of all American soldiers who fell in defense of the cause of democracy. Arrangements for the placing of the wreaths were made through the white bouse by Colin H. Livingstone, president of the Boy Scouts of America, who made public the following cablegram to the president stating the object of the wreaths: "Profoundly touched and inspired by the supreme sacrifice of their brothers and fathers on the battlefield of France in giving up their lives freely to saveour homes, our liberties and our civilization, the Boy Scouts of America ask you as their honorary president and as president of the United States to have placed for them on Decoration Day upon these sacred burial grounds of France wreaths of flowers as tributes to the glorious memory of our noble dead." PEOPLE IN SADDLE, DECLARES WILSON (By Associated Press) PARIS, May 30. The day of secret council is past because the people are in the saddle, President Wilson declared in his Memorial day address in the American cemetery at Suresnes. The private council of statesmen, he added, will no longer determine the destinies of nations. ' An earnest defense of the league of nations was a prominent note of the president's address. He said he looked for the time when a man who failed to support the league would be as ashamed as the man who opposed the union of the states after the civil war.
