Entertainment At Springfield
School.

On Friday evening last Miss Roberts
school at Springfield, this comfy, was
the scene of II most delightful entertain
ment.

indianapolis Impersonator,' gave many
interesting and l~aughable recitations, and
by his great personality held the atten-
ton of all, ever amid the flashes of light.
ming and thunder which broke forth SO
suddenly upon the evening air.
Mr.. Robert Griffin charmed his audience
with the soft, sweet strains of his violin,
accompanied by Miss Tug, the will
ing and competent organist.
The schoo oil room was beautifully deco
rated with ferns and roses and the bright
attractive faces in the largely assembled
audience added much to the beauty of the
scene. There were many visitors from
Bowie, Glendale, Seabrook, Washington,
Baltimore and Brandywine. Refresh
ments were served and twenty five dol
lars cleared, to be spent in improvements
for the school.
Much credit is due to the bright, young
teacher, whose untiring efforts well de-
served the success they received.

The San Jose Scale.

Explorations have established very
clearly that the original home of the San
Jose Scale is in China. A very interest
ing fact was the finding in this same re-
gion Of a ladybug which preys on it
naturally and seems to be the principal
agent in preventing its often becoming
very abundant and injurious. This lady
bug (Chilocorous similis) in China feeds
naturally on the San Jose scale and re-
lated forms, as also on the white peach
scale, a very troublesome pest, which has
recently gained foothold in our Eastern
and Southern States. Several shipments
of this beetle were made by Mr.. Marlatt,
first assistant e~ntomologist, from Japan
and China. From the two surviving indivi-
duals more than 1000 beetles and larvG
are now on scale-covered trees on the
department grounds. In addition to
these, shipments of some thousand beetles
nave already been made to other points
in the East, a number of experiment sta
ton entomologists having expressed a
desire to assist in the work of propaga-
ting, distributing and establishing this
useful ladybug.

Building Good Roads.

Everybody is interested in having good
roads, and this question is of peculiar IN
tercst at this time because the work OF re-
pair is now going on. it appears from a
recent report of the Road Engineer OF
Baltimore county that the 18th district OF
said county, which embraces 30 miles of
road, has a road fund of $4,000. One
half of this sum will be used for malnte-
nance or repair, and the other half for
permanent improvements. The Engineer
suggests that from the most important
roads of the district those sections need
ing permanent Improvement, details,
plans and estimates be made for the i'm
provemcnt of these roads according to
modern ideas, and that contracts be made
with responsible parties for the perform
ance of the work according to the plans
and specifications.
The amount expended in Baltimore
county is in striking contrast with what
is spent in this county. For instance, in
Marlboro district last year. for about 30
miles of road, the appropriation was
about ST 400, of which amount $500 was
spent for an iron bridge. Notwithstand-
ing the limited means available our roads
were in fairly good condition. The i'm
provement of the public highways is a
matter that concerns everybody, and we
trust that the people will interest them
selves in this important matter.

Condition of Crops.

The Weather Bureau Tuesday issued
the following weekly summary of crop
conditions
Respecting temperature, the week end
ed May % in the districts east of the
Rocky Mountains was the most favorable
Of the season and the first in which
there has been no complaint of lack of
warmth in some part of this area. Heavy
rains from Oklahoma and Arkansas north
ward to Minnesota and the Dakotas have
retarded work in these districts. Drought
has been largely relieved in the Ohio Val
ley, Lake region, and southern portions
of the Middle Atlantic States, but con-
tinues with greater severity over the
northern portion of the last-named dis
trict and in New England, while light
rains would be beneficial generally throuh-
out the Gulf States. In the Rocky Noun
tain and Pacific Coast regions the week
has been a~bnormally cool, with heavy
frosts and considerable snow in the
central and northern districts.
Good progress has been made with corn
planting in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
weather has prevented the completion of
This work, which is much delayed, while
drought has prevented termination and
planting IN the Middle Atlantic States
the crop has made favorable progress.
In the southern portions of Missouri
and Kansas winter wheat has suffered
some deterioration, but elsewhere in these
ues in promising condition. In Michi-
gan and Wisconsin decided improvement
is reported, and in Pennsylvania it has
withstood the drought better than other
crops. Winter wheat is now heading in
the more northerly districts, the reports
from the Ohio Valley and Middle Allan
tic States indicating that it is heading
low. On the Pacific Coast the crop is
backward in Washington and Oregon, but
has improved in the first named States.
In California slight damage has been done
by drying winds.
In the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, and
Nebraska spring wheat has made rapid
growth and is in very promising condi-
ton. In the North Pacific Coast States
the crop is backward.
In the States of the Missouri Valley
oats nave made favorable growth, and a
decided improvement is reported from
Michigan and Illinois. In the Ohio Val
ley ana Middle Atlantic States the out
look is less promising. Harvesting is gen.
eral in Southern Texas, Georgia, and
Florida.
More favorable progress has been made
with transplanting tobacco in the Ohio
Valley, but in the Middle Atlantic States
little OF none has been set up to the close
of the week, when much-needed rains fell
in Maryland and Virginia, placing the
soil in favorable condition for this work.
Plants in Virginia and Eastern Kentucky
are failing. In the Carolinas tobacco is
b%uttoning low.

Items from Laurel.

Miss Jacobs, who is Directress OF ali
the Cooking Schools in the District of
Columbia, visited the Laurel High School
on Thursday Of last week and gave an
interesting talk on the "Science of Cook
ing" which, she claims, is a branch OF
Manual Training and should be estab-
lished in all the counties of the State in
connection with the schools. Girls, as a
rule, in their eff for a higher educa-
ton, neglect this important branch, the
knowledge of which is so essential in the
formation of every home. Miss Jacobs
possesses a pleasing manner, clear enun-
citation and we'll modulated voice. With
the aid of her little spirit lamps she gave
several illustrations in the cooking of
potatoes and eggs, which interested both
teachers and pupils.
Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, "Paticnce
or B%unthorne's Bride" was given at the
Academy of Music on Friday evening
last by the Washington Opera Club and
was one of the most brilliant performances
ever enacted here. The well-trained
voices, splendid acting, beautiful costumes
and graceful dancing of this opera troupe
Of forty members elected the pleasure and
admiration of a large audience. Unfortu-
nately, during the performance a furious
storm arose and in the midst of a love
scene between Bunthorne and Patience
the electric lights went out, leaving the
house in utter darkness. The %janitor,
however, quickly lighted the large coal
oil lamps and the play went on, the actor
f%elicitously remarking that ''life is full of
Interruptions"

lOOlrOOm Doors Closed.

The Washington post" of yesterday
said:
The Wildwood poolroom, just over the
District line, in Maryland, was closed
yesterday on schedule time, according to
the statement of the management over a
week ago that it would go out of business
at that place on May 81. The proprietors
of the resort, Messrs. Andrews and Tur-
ner, left the city last night for New York.
Before they left they made the state
ment that they would return to Washing
ton and open a poolroom again in the
neal future. Whether it will be at Wild
wood or at Chesapeake Junction they did
not disclose, but it has been intimated
that their plans contemplate at the juno
ton.
The Wildwood resort has been in opera
ton three or four weeks. and the crowd
has been large nearly every day.
There was much disgust at the opening
of the place among the people of Takoma,
Md, on the edge of which town Wild
wood is located, and Mayor Kinnear and
his advisers planned a campaign against
it, which, however, was never carried out
to a successful issue. Sheriff Hardesty,
of Prince Georges County, was induced by
Mr.. Edward Benton, of Hyattsville, to
make a raid on the resort two weeks ago,
and Turner and Andrews were arrested.
They gave bail and went back to their
business, apparently not in the least dis
turbed by the occurance.
1t is understood that another plan to
clos. tie place through proceedings for
ejectment was being considered. The
Wildwood property is in the hands of re-
ceivers and under the direction of the
courts. 1t is said that the receivers had
no right to lease it under these conditions
for a poolroom, and hat action would
have been taken against the concern on
this ground. The statement is made that
Messrs. Andrews and Turner voluntarily
gave up to avoid these proceedings, con-
sidering it better to locate in some other
place.
