Roosevelt Republicans should
have so soon turned their backs

their enemies who opposed them
So bitterly during the camnaiEn,

INSECTS DETRIMENT TO
NATURAL FOREST GROWTH
Damage Done Causing Failure terminate
Makes the Group Important One From
Economic Standpoint.

By FRED 8. BROOKS. Associate Ento-
moiogist West Virginia University Ag-
Hcultural Experiment Station.)
The forests OF West Virginia are
rich in native nut-bearing trees and
shrubs. At least twenty-seven species
are found that bear nuts which are
used as food by man or by the animals
that are of value to man. The nut
bearing trees furnish also the bulk
of hardwood timber that Is produced
in the state.
With the probable exception OF the
beechnut. all the more common varie-
ties of nuts. and. presumably. those
that are less common as well, are at
tackled by the larvae. or grubs, Of over
a dozen different species of snout
beetles. Some OF these larvae feed
on the husks and inner tissues of i'm
mature nuts and others on tho ker-
nels of nuts that are more nearly
ripe. Young walnuts and hickorynuts
are frequently attacked soon after the
blossoms fall from the trees and the
infested nuts drop to the ground be-
fore they are half grown. Chestnuts.
acorns and some other varieties sus-
tain the greatest injury as they ap-
proach maturity. 1t Is not unusual
for chestnuts that are kept a week or
two after gathering to become from 50
per cent to 75 per cent. "wormy" and
acorns often suffer to even a greater
extent. The infested nuts are rem
dered unfit for food and in many cases
are SO badly eaten that they will not
germinate when planted.
The injury which these insects do to
q valuable article of food and their
direct detriment to natural forest de-
velopment, in causing the failure Of

air cell is the determining factor. and
again that 1t is merely a question Of
nourishment, the stronger nourished
eggs producing males. Some breed
ers depend upon their matings. believ-
ing that cockerels mated with hens
will produce preponderance Of fe-
males. and that a cock mated with pull
let's will produce a preponderance of
males. In spite Of all the theories
that have been advanced. the Law that
controls sex has yet to be discovered.

Owen Seaman. editor of Punch. was
the principal guest at q dinner of the
London Authors club recently. which
was followed by discussion on
''Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spelling of q
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck note
Of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle

This was broken by one Of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
Sandy, I'm thinking II yon fly Is q
birdie or a beastie."
The other replied: Man. don't spoil
good whisky with religious conversa-
tion."

Alcohol and TubercuIosIs,

DR.. jacques Bertillon. the chief Of
the flnger-print department of the
French police. has published an ar
ticle on the connection between al
cohol and tuberculosis. DIR. Bertillon
says that OF the causes which in
France favor the development OF
tuberculosis the most important is the
alcohol in beer and spirits. He de-
clares, however. that the best enemy
of tuberculosis is wine
In the IS departments which form
the northern parts Of France. where
cider. beer. spirits-especially brandy
are much drunk. the deaths caused
by consumption were 230 per 100. 900
Inhabitants IN 1906. while the proper
tion was 140 in the other departments
Of France. where wine is the favorite

REGULATE SEX
OF CHICKEN
Sefcntists Have Been Studying for
Yeara to Discover Law and
Undoubtedly It Would BE
Boon to PouItrymcn.

For years the scientists have been
trying to discover the law that regu-
lates sex. Undoubtedly the discovery
would be n great boon to poultry
keepers. To have the farm over-run
with cockerels when early pullets are
wanted is annoying. and 1t is not sur
prising that any system purporting to
regulate the sex is eagerly tried by
breeders. We have heard II claimed
that the pointed eggs hatched pullets
and the round ones cockerels. and
then again the opposite is claimed.
Others claim that the location of the

strong pair of jaws. Is situated on the
apex Of the snout and the appendage
is used for piercing or puncturing vari-
GUS kinds Of plant tissue to obtain
food and to provide an opening In
which to deposit eggs.
Chestnuts are freqiently gathered
that appear sound at first. but within
ten days or two weeks thereafter be-
come excessively "wormy." Where
these worms" come from has often
been a matter of conjecture on the
part of those who handle nuts. 1t Is
a common belief that they originate
from the sting" of some insect ad-
ministered at the time the trees are
in bloom. AS a matter of fact, they
hatch from eggs that are in the nuts
at the time the nuts are gathered.
Most Of these eggs are deposited by
this chestnut weevil a short time pre-
vious to the dropping OF the nuts
from the trees.
The common acorn weevil Is the
largest OF the weevils attacking
acorns. In size 1t is similar to the
hickorynut weevil but In color 1t more
nearly resembles the larger chestnut
weevil. The spots on the back are

as snout beetles. however. is greatly
in excess of that done by all other
kinds combined.
The term 'snout beetle" is applied

Sarah Bernhard. and Women Soldiers

Sarah eernhardt and Women Soldiers.
I remember when I first appeared
as the Due de Reichstadt. I thought to
myself how little disadvantage sex is
to n woman who wishes to play dis
tinguished part. not merely on the
stage. but in real life. Women are
only weak when their characters are
weak. Surely Louis XVI. did not
think women were weak when bat
talions of them were surrounding his
palace at Versailles. My experience
has shown me that Frenchwomen are
more resolute. more fearless. more
competent than the women of other
nations. They would not plead their
sex in the face Of the enemy. Just as
Jeanne dare was born military
leader. SO. in case OF a crisis today.

the female. It is nearly half an inch
in length. or. about a fifth longer than
the body. In the male. It is two-thirds
as long as the body. The pygidium.
or last abdominal segment. of the male
is deeply concave with the concavity
smooth and shining and surrounded by
a rim OF silken hairs. This peculiar
character enables the species to be
separated very readily from all other
members OF the genus.
This species seems to attack only
the acorns OF the biennial oaks and
in my collecting has always been
found more abundant on red oak than
on any other tree. The acorns which
1t attacks are late in maturing and
the beetles are correspondingly late In
appearing.

TINY BABY's PITIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked Just like q skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At flrst it seemed to be q few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel OF leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then . few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body. leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top Of her
head there appeared a heavy scab .
quarter Of an inch thick. It was aw-
full to see SO small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.

softened the scab and 1t came OF. Un-
