Color Schemes.

When in doubt use pink" so said
a successful hostess upon being asked
the best color scheme. Pink bears
both the daylight and the artificial
light equally well, and is always be-
coming, fact not to be overlooked by
u thoughtful hostess.
Blue changes to green at night, but
under certain conditions IL is a rather
good scheme to use il. Yellow is not
a satisfactory color to have at night,
AS il is apt TO look faded from the
sunlight Violet is not good at night,
but at present is much in favor for
spring luncheons, with corsage bou-
Quets at each place for the guests.
Red is rarely used in warm weather,
but is always delightful in winter time,
carrying with a suggestion of warmth
and welcome that is grateful. A North
side hostess invariably uses red the
year round, as 1t harmonizes with her
furnishings and service, so that the
color has come to be recognized as
her own individually and her red din
ners are noted.
Green alone and combined with
white is always pleasing and is sum-
mer time favorite.
Ferns are always good and may be-
kept fresh long time if placed one
over the other on a fiat board, then
immersed in cold water and kept in
cool, dry place. 1t is in good form
to use the flower that is in season,
and the japanese method of using
flowers is being adopted more and
more, as the flower holders are on sale
now at nearly all of the department
stores.

quently found along with the plain

their tiny eggs in the soil near the
stalks of corn.
The next year these eggs hatch out
young root-worms which begin to at
tack the corn almost as soon as II is
out of the ground. Throughout the
the summer these northern corn root
worms are at work on the roots, until
the worms become full grown in the
late summer. When they become ma
ture they transform TO the pupa, or
resting stage, in which stage they
spend a short time. Finally the plain
green beetle energies from this pupa.
The beetles then deposit their eggs
for another crop of root-worms for
the next year. AS far as II is known
there is but one breed of this form in
season.

Carnival Of Merry Lovers.

A young woman who wished to an
nounce her engagement in a unique
manner issued invitations for a fancy
dress party in which the guests were
requested to come dressed as famous
lovers" Husbands and wives, broth
ers and sisters, maids and their IA
vorite SWANS came together and great
was the fun trying TO guess who was
who. There were John Alden and Pris-
ella, Hiawatha and Minr ehaha, Paul
aud Vidginia, Queen Elizabeth and
Essex, Dante and Beatrice, Napoleon
and Josephine, etc. All characters
were kept secret and the host asked
the following questions:

Are you living or dead? Of left alive

a becoming evening gown, and her

no one could guess, as he wore a

The First Anniversary.

Wedding anniversary celebrations
are usually informal, especially when
the idea of the celebrations is carried
out, as for instance, a cotton" wed
ding, which celebrates the first ami
versary.
A sheet and pillow case party on
this occasion is both appropriate an6
enjoyable. For both men and women
the sheets may be put on in about the
same way. The width is passed
around the body just below the arm
pits, the two corners brought to the
back, crossed, then each drawn up
over the shoulders, and all secured In
front with a pin. A little practice viii
enable one to don these ghostly gar
ments in a really becoming manner
The length of the sheet falls straight
all around.
Rather large sheets should be used
that there may be plenty of fullness.
White dominoes may be worn or the
pillow cases may be used. II there
are draperies in the room, for this oc'
casion they may be replaced with
sheets or white cheesecloth.
The dining table may have doi;les OF
cotton batting or runners made OF II
and snowballs of cotton at each plate
may contain little souvenirs If the
bride wishes to give them.
Dancing may be the amusement or
cards after unmasking. An entire
white menue may be served with
chicken sandwiches, coffee with
whipped cream, ice cream in the
shape of snowballs and white frosted
cakes.
Bales of cotton candy boxes may be
gotten in some places to which the
place cards could be attached and
south of the Mason and Dixon line the
tiny cotton bales prepared for tourists
would be just the thing for an affair
of this kind. In some parts of the
country, 90, real cotton blooms may
be had for decorating.

The cora root-worms are undoubted-
ly the most serious insect pests with
which the Iowa corn grower has to
contend. The presence of root-worms
in a field is usually indicated by a
whitening of the young plants, the
failure to produce well developed
ears, or a general retarding Of the
growth without any visible cause. A
search among the roots of such stalks
may bring to notice the tiny root
worms.
The root-worms themselves are
small, slender white grubs, about half
an inch long when they are full
grown Infested stalks of corn may be
pulled out easily and will break off at
the place where the root-worms are
at work, leaving the greater
part Of the roots in the
soil Frequently stalks infested
by the root-worm are blown to the
ground by the wind. the root system
having been so cut of that the stalks
cannot stand the strain. Bowman and
Crossley have shown how a continu-
Gus cropping OF corn on the same
ground will very soon increase the
number Of root-worms to an alarming

its back. On this account of II may be
easily distinguished from the other
form. II is also somewhat larger than
the plain green beetle, measuring
about a quarter Of an inch long. The
black spots are in three rows across
the back of the BEETLE, each row with
four spots. Usually these beetles are
found along with the plain green
beetles on the silks OF the corn, but
they are not so common. The black
spotted BEETLES are found not only in
the fall, but all through the season
from early spring as well. There
seems TO be at least two broods of
them during the year.
The life history Of the southern
corn root-worm is similar to that OF
the northern form, except that II is
passed through in a much shorter
time. In the corn fields the eggs are
deposited in the ground near the
stalks.

extent, and consequently decrease the
yield.
Preventive measures. Rotation Of
crops is the most effectual preventive
of root-worms. The beetles of the
root-worms usually deposit their
eggs in the old infested fields. By
changing the corn from such field to
another which was not in corn the
preceding year, these eggs are left
behind.
There are two kinds of these
worms; the northern corn worm"
and the Southern corn root-worm."
Since the habits of the two are very
different in some essential points, a
few further remarks concerning them
are given below. The two are east
ly distinguished in the beetle stage.

AS an egg gets older, says the

DAVIDSON MAKES
 REPLY TO THOMPSON
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In The Age-Herald of this date, refer ring to the approaching election on the proposed constitutional amendment, un- der the caption, Republicans Will Re- main Hands Off,'" 1t is said that Chair man Joseph o. Thompson is authority for the statement that the republicans will not undertake any united action. There will be no committee meeting. In fact, republicans will withhold themselves re- ligiously from the contest, making no speeches nor attempting to influence the vote. They consider this a democratic scrap and have determined to let the dem ocrats fight it out for themselves"
 I take issue with the statement that the republicans will withhold themselves religiously from the contest. and that they consider 1t a democratic scrap" or that they have determined to let the democrats fight it out for themselves. The demo- cratic party has not taken sides on this issue, and 1t is presumed that the repub- lican party will not but republicans, as well as democrats, feel deep concern as to the outcome of the election as all must agree that the welfare of the state will be materially affected. This, therefore, is not democratic scrap" and no man or coterie of men have the right to dictate to republicans that they shall not partici- pate in this matter. which so materially affects the interests of all citizens.
 It Is new idea in Alabama to attempt by constitutional enactment to abridge the police power of the legislature The framers of our constitutions of 1879, 1861, 1865, 1888, 1875 and 1901 did not even discuss such a proposition. They were not en- frightened by the wisdom of our present governor, or the Rev Brooks Lawrence of Ohio, both of whom, no doubt, would be glad to see the republicans "hands off, in the approaching election.

probable that the acts will be generally enforced unless individuals, other than public officials, see to the matter them arrests by swearing out warrants for the "violators" of the Sunday law.
 Sheriff Higdon stated yesterday aft ernoon that he had been informed that a committee of some 50 or 60 members had been, or would be, appointed to wait upon Jim and insist that he en- force the blue laws" to the very letter.
 However that may be-" said Colonel Higdon, q do not want anybody to have any doubt relative to my position in this matter. When I became sheriff things generally were running wide open on Sunday in Jefferson county. l took the law applying to Sunday vio- lations and, mak ing exceptions of soda water stands, meat markets, bakeries and cigar counters, ordered that busi- ness be suspended on Sunday through out the county.
 "If the Sunday laws were enforced only the poor people of the community would suffer. There are many people in Jefferson county who are unable to buy ice, much less own a refrigerator, and in many instances ice is unavaila- ble. This being true, meats bought on Saturday night during the summer would spoil before Sunday dinner, and to close up the markets outside the city on Sunday morning would work hard ship on the poorer class of people. There is no harm in a man going to a cigar store to buy tobacco, nor is 1t a disturbance of the peace for your boy or my boy to go to town and buy soda water on the Sabbath
 Therefore. unless complaint of dis order about these places is made I shall not close them nor order them closed. I am kept busy watching people who violate the law on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday all alike, and I shall not interfere with these harm less lines of business. Of course, if anyone sees fit to go and swear out a warrant for somebody for keeping open his cigar store on Sunday I shall be forced to serve ita and have the pro- prietor placed under arrest, but other wise I intend to take no action what ever"
 Chief Bodeker, when questioned, stated that he had been informed that 1 impeachment proceedings would be iD- stituted against both Sheriff Higdon and himself in case they did not en- force the se-called blue laws" "rhe petition which I received bears the signature of 34 citizens, but it 4 no expression or request from the peo pie at large. I shall refer the petition to the Board of Police Commissioners, and until they give me instructions to enforce the blue laws l shall take no steps whatever in that direction"
