The members of the Automobile
a meeting last night. 1t was post
poned meeting of a week ago and
there was a representative attendance
After considerable discussion it was de-
cided to vote all the money in the
treasury to the San Francisco motor
club, as the members present thought
that they had no right and title in
the funds, as it belonged to the old
association.
Then call was made on the COM
mittee which had in hand the revision
of the constitution and bylaws. This
committee proposed that the laws be
changed so that only the automobile
dealers be allowed membership. This
being out of order, a motion to
adjourn was made and carried
This was followed by the resig-
nation of President Lynch and
some of the directors. This means
that those at the meeting had voted all
the money they had on hand to the
motor club and that the automobile
dealers present had practically with
drawn from the association, leaving
those who are not automobile dealers
to carry on the association if they feel
inclined.
The action also means by the signed
petition as circulated last night that
the automobile dealers are going to
form an association for automobile
dealers and no one else, after voting
all the money in the old association to
the motor club

tBy FRED s. BROOKS. Associate Ento-
mologfst West Virginia University Az
ricultural Experiment Station)
The forests of West Virginia are
rich in native nutbearing 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 az 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 the 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,
scorns and some other varieties sus-
tain the greatest injury as they ap-
proach maturity. 1t is not unusua!
for chestnuts that are kept q week or
two after gathering to become, from 50
per cent. to rs per cent. "wormy" and
acorns often suffer to even a greater
extent. The infested nuts are rem
dered UNIT for food and in many cases
are SO badly eaten that they will not
terminate when planted.
The injury which these insects do to
valuable article OF food and their
direct detriment to natural forest de-
velopment, in causing the failure OF
Charlevoix county herald., 1910-10-15

many nuts to terminate, make the
group an important one from an eco
nomic standpoint.
Nuts are attacked by great va
riety OF insects. but the most serious
injuries are done by moths and snout
beetles. The larvae of several species
of moths may be found in chestnuts,
beechnuts and acorns, particularly in
nuts that have their shells broken
30 as to permit easy entrance to the
kernel by the insects. The damage
wrought by the class of insects known
as snout beetles, however, is greatly
In excess Of that done by all other
kinds combined
The term "snout beetle" is applied
to the adults OF the group of insects

"PRiDE OF THE WORKROOM"
Lesson In Humble Life Of English
Seamstress Overtaken by
Sudden Death.

Prosperity no more secures happi-
ness and influence than June insures
sunshine. Apart from that spiritual
state which makes for peace, the actu-
al eontentment of men or women in
our world is chiefly founded upon their
relation TO work. The idler Is always
wretched The worker as Ruskin and
Carlyle persistently taught, Is truly
enviable when he has work, when he
feels it fairly within his powers. and
when SIC takes pride in his perform
ance OF 1t. and then only.
A story OF victory in the face OF APP
parent failure may be read by the stu
dent of human history In an obscure
paragraph OF an English newspaper,
setting forth an inquiry by coroners
court into the death OF an old dress
maker who had been run over on a
London street
Mary Anne Bruce was seventy Yeas
old, and lived with her sister In Pop
lar. She left home daily at eight
o'clock In the morning, and reached
there about nine at night. She had
smafl old-age pension, and earned
eight or nine shillings a week. Her
entire income during her many years
of sewing had probably been equal In
its buying power In an American city
TO less than IS week.
But this slender dole OF shillings,
contrasting with the long hours OF
work, was not the whole story OF the
dressmaker's life. Witnesses further
testified that she had been employed
by one firm for 40 years, that she was
the pride of the workroom," and that
all the employees were much upset"
on hearing of her death. So the quaint
tribute runs.
Forty years of toll, and then sudden
death overtaking age and unguarded
weakness! 1t is a grim and gloomy
record in the newspaper history of an
ambitious, money-loving age. But she
was the pride of the workroom.' and
her fellow workers loved her. That is
surely writ large In the Great Book of
Heroic Deeds. For this woman, as for
another faithful soul, it may be said
that as she passed over, the trumpets
pounded q great blast upon the other
side Thus conquerors come home.--

REGULATE SEX
OF CHICKEN
Scienttsts Have Been Studying for
Years TO Discover Law and
Undoubtedly II Would Be
Boon to PouItrymen.

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