Suppression of the "Masher. y
the pbilndclphia Ipnuirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer e. ~
1t was high time that the police authori-
ties undertook the suppression of that
pestferous person known to slang as the
''masher.' and it is to be hoped that the
campaign which has just been opened for
his abolition will not be intermitted until
its purpose has been accomplished. There
are few more contemplate specimens of
humanity than the fellow who stands on
street corners or lounges in department
stores or makes a pretense of looking in
shop windows to ogle the women who pass
by and to affront them by his insulting in
timatiOns. He may not always be a scoun-
drel: sometimes he is merely fool but he
is always an Offense and a nuisance, and
the men to whom the responsibility for the
maintenance of public order is intrusted
need to keep their eyes open for him all
the time

A Reversal of Form.

They're here. the bookies and the toutS,
The horses and the jockies gay
Once more. with hope that knows no doubts
The merry gamester wends his way
Unto the track, there to bestow
His wealth on men he doesn't know.
He holds on tight to every cent
When forth he goes a-marketing,
He cavils when he pays his rent.
But when he strikes the betting ring
His coin most generously doth flow
Now who can tell why this is so?

Pennsylvania Railroad Places Practice
Under the Ban by Order in
Effect September I.

Advertising matters OF al kinds on
freight cars Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, commencing September 1, will be
under the ban.
Notification has been sent out by
Robert M. Patterson, superintendent Of
freight transportation, 70 all agents of
the company, instructing them 70 notify
shippers that on and after that date
cars cannot be labeled with "ads."
This action comes as the result OF
an agreement between the American
Association and the Master Car Build
ers Association. The membership Of
the American Railway Association Is
composed Of the leading men in railway
circles. Tor many years complaints
have been lodged with the railroads OF
the country by regular patrons OF pas
senger trains. against the bill posters
and signs tackled or pasted ON freight
cars.
In addition to this the railroads were
compelled to paint the cars frequently,
as a result Of the Disagreement caused
by the paste, tacks ana nails driven
into the outside portions Of the car.
The agreement stipulates that any
railroad allowing shippers TO place ad<
vertising matter on their cars must re-

true that as more bicycles are to be
seen everywhere. so also is the num-
Der of motorcycles increasing at an

Doubtless one reason for the inter-
est in motorcycles is TO be found in the
manner in which these machines are
utilized for sporting purposes. Racing
events in which motorcycles play a
part always attract great interest, and
long distance riding. endurance con-
tests and like trials attract large
crowds and bring competitors together
from all over the country. Thirteen

The foregoing must not be construed
TO mean that vast Improvements have
not been made to the motorcycle dur
ing the years that it has been on the
market, but it is true that correct
basic principles were more quickly
reached in motorcycle designing than
was the case with car building The
improvements have been along practi-

multi cylinder machines. the rapid per-
fection Of the essential parts of the

If America were not the original

When you see a motorcycle eating up
space at a lively gait, do you classify it
as a cross between a runabout and a
bicycle, or do you give it credit for
being the thoroughbred that paved the
way for the motor car? AS a matter
of fact the motor cycle was really
the pioneer machine. Hardly had the
bicycle taken it's present form before
efforts were made in this country and
abroad, to adapt to it some form Of
power-making machinery, the begin
nings along this line being various
clockwork attachments that look very
ridiculous today, but upon which their
designers built extravagant hopes.
With the advent of the internal COM

POTATO INVESTIGATIONS.
Selecting Seed From Hills Resistant to
Early Blight.

Early Blight.
In the line OF potato Investigations
at the Ohio experiment station It has
been found that there Is not only a diff
ference between varieties as TO the
susceptibility or resistance to the early
blight. but there Is also a difference
between hills Of the same variety. This
IS more noticeable with some varieties
than with others.
Without exception the vines from the
Seed which had been taken with no
reference to the blight, began to break
down with an attack OF the disease
much earlier than the vines Of the
same variety which had been selected
FOR blight resistance.
Besides the selection OF blight resist.
ant varieties, there Is no doubt that
much can be done in the way OF build
ing up varieties which win be resist
ant to the early blight by selecting
seed from resistant hills. All Of the ex-
ira labor necessary is TO go over the
rows a few at time when most Of
the vines are badly blighted and stick
a stake at each hill which shows a re-
slstant tendency, these hills to be dug
by hand and saved for seed. When
digging all hills which are poor In
yield, even though they may have been
very resistant, should be thrown out.
