AUrO CURSE or COUNTRY.
Chancellor Day Of Syracuse University DenOan-
ceS the Automobile Craze.

Syracuse, N. Y.-There are so many
men coursing about the country IN
automobiles and tneir pleasure au-
serbs such large share of the pro
dutive capital OF the country that
Chancellor James r. Day Of SYRIA
cuse University believes it is becom-
ing question if the automobile is
not curse to the country.
The chancellor was speaking to the
graduating class of the university on
self-sacriflce and self-denial
Young mechanics and clerks and
business men," he said, who need all
of their capital are mortgaging their
homes by the thousands and losing
their positions often by their infatua-
ton with this form of pleasure.
s'It is said that above Eve hundred
million dollars are invested in the
automobile trade and this enormous
capital is non-productive. That is, 1t
add comparatively nothing to the
wealth of the people, but on the con-
trary absorbs it. 1t means 80 per cent
Of wasted money and wasted time. A
certain per cent returns in business
uses and wholesome rest and recrea-
ton.
Il know the criticism that will be
sure to come because of what will be
called an attack on great industry,
but / address myself to the abuse Of
self-indulgence in a good thing. en-
phasize self-denial"
Selfishness is responsible, the chan
cellor believes, for a lower marriage
rate. IF you want to know" he said,
why men marry less than Of old,
perhaps the secret is in the false
whim of supporting wife. He cannot
afford to support wife, the bachelor
says. No woman ought to consent to
be such a wife. Sac ought to say: I
am not seeking or consenting to be
supported. There will be two of US.

can save more. We will plan to-

MEXICAN BOIL WEEVIL.
Ravaees Of Pest in the State Of Mis-
sissippi Will Be Reduced.

Ravaees of Pest in the State Of Mis-
sissippi Will Be Reduced.
Jackson, Miss.-Although the Mex
lean boil weevil has made its appeal
ance in the cotton fields in several
counties of the state and punctured
square are being reported from many
sections, indications are that the far
mers in the infested areas will not be-
come, .panic-stricken and plow under
their cotton stands. The special agents
of United States department OF as
rie:aiture, bureau Of plant industry, are
keeping closely in touch with the far
mers and earnestly urging them not
to get rash or reckless, believing that
it will be possible to reduce fair-sized
crops in the communities where the
weevil has made its appearance.
That the farmers must stick to the
cultural method and learn by expert
ence now to grow cotton in spite OF the
Weevil, is the doctrine being taught by
the government experts, and the far
mers are showing willingness to put
their faith in the advice given them by
federal authorities, which is accompa-
MED by statistics showing how In GER
tain Texas counties the farmers have
steadily increased cotton production
from year to year in spite OF the Wee
vii.
The government agents are still
holding to the belief that the ravages
of the weevil in Mississippi this year
will be greatly minimized by the
Wholesale destruction of larvae during
the unusually cold winter, and the
several freezes that occurred just pri-
or to the planting season. Whether
this will prove true, remains to be
seen, but the number of weevils founu
in the fields in infested areas is much
smaller than reported at this time
last year, and it is probably true that
millions of weevils were destroyed by
the freezing weather.

UNITED STATES DEFlED.
Situation at BIuefieIds, Nicaragua, Has
Become Acute.

EEGQIVC FNSOkCs
RIuefleIds, Nicaraqua.-"At the first
shot fired against the American flag
or an American vessel will level
the bluff"
This is the reply made by Com
mander Harold X. Hines, commanding
the American gunboat Dubuque, to
a threat made by General Riyas, Of
the Madriz forces, holding Bluetielcs
Bluff. to stop by force any vessels
of whatever nationality entering the
harbor.
General Rivas has practically dehed
the United States, declaring that ne
will disregard the proclamation issued
from washington on May 81 to the
effect that the United States govern
ment will deny the right OF either
faction to seize American-owned YES
sells and property without consent OF
and recompense to the owners
He has warned Commander Hines
that he will prevent by force, regard
less of flag, any further vessels from
entering the harbor. In response TO-
this the American commander immea
ately sent to him the above message,
which would mean the annihilatton Oh
the handful of Madriz troops now re-
naming in this neighborhood.
A critical situation has thus arisen
which may involve the United States,
but the American officers here arc VI
the opinion that General Rivas will
not attempt to make good his threat
in an effort to collect customs duties.
There are constant rumors OF
threats against the life of Thomas F.
Moffatt, the American consul here, and
the whole situation at Bluefelds, iii
stead Of quieting, has assumed a more
serious aspect.

In comparatively insignificant re-
paration case, the interstate COM

ment without instructions may de-
mand instructions from the initial
carrier, but if, instead of pursuing
that course, 1t assumes responsibility
of routing, it must accent the result
ing liability for any increased charges
that may follow q mistake in selecting
the wrong route. More difficulty is
experienced by the commission and

QUESTION of the twenty guns of the
new fourteen-inch type which will
form the main batteries OF the two
battleships to be authorized at this
session of congress. 1t has not been
decided how many OF these guns will
be built under contract, but it IS prob
able that most Of them will be con-
structed at the Washington gun fac
tory. With the reduction in the rap
idity OF fire in heavy guns, especially
under conditions BIZ the present tar
get practice, it is possible to do away
with some of the mechanical gear.
This means greater security.

A NEW DANCE.

'tAviation Dance Boosted by Profes-
sors of Dancing.
Chicago, lll.-Members of the Pro
fessional Teachers of Dancing, who
held their annual convention nere, are
demonstrating the aviation dance,
or the "airship glide" which they sa,
will become more popular than the
waltz or tWo-step.
I'm dancing now," said lecturer
before the convention, people hop too
much; they, ougth to glide. They
wiggle too frequently; they ought to
float. They work themselves into a
sweat; they should take it coolly and
aviate.
'-rhere is no skipping in the 'avia-
ton dance, no hopping, no gallopins.
The idea is to seem to not touch the
floor. You glide over, sweep over or
sayiate' over the floor. 1t will take
some little time for one to learn the
aviation dance but it is vastly more
pleasin gthan waltz or two-step."
