IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA

/ Shown in the Changed Condi-

"The public conscience is now be-
ing awakened upon this aspect of pub
lie morality. Last week l was in

connected with any Christian church.
but who are sincerely DESTROYS of as
sisting in the reformation of their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league, and
with this in mind they called public
meeting, which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
rassed in approved public meeting
style, approving Of campaign against
the gambling vice. Members of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist In the
meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
RECREATION without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese, and the chief organizer of the
movement is one of the government
education inspectors for the provinces
Of Kiangsu and Kiangsi A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave violin
solo, d Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two cornet solos, and a Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
Whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox a fashion that it
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed Twenty
years, even ten years, ago such
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility. Today We
have class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity in their midst the ideals
which they are DESTROYS OF impressing
upon their countrymen"

made up of millions of insects. The
young individual scale is about half
the size of a pin head, round and
black. On the fruit the scale makes
conspicuous red spots. It's dangerous
nature is known to every orchardist
who has it to contend with. 1t has
killed thousands of trees, especially
peach, and is now sapping the vitality
Of many thousands more.
Scale insects are subject to attacks
of number of natural enemies, in
cluded under parasitic and predaceous
insects, fungous diseases and birds.
These natural enemies are usually
sufficient to hold the species somewhat
in check, with the exception of the
San Jose scale, which has become a
most important pest.
Many artificial remedies have been
tried for DISCRIMINATING scale insects,
the most successful being sprays Of
crude petroleum or kerosene, either
undiluted or mixed with water, vari-
Gus soap sprays and lime salt and
sulphur wash. All scale insects may
be treated by the same method after
1t has been determined by experience
which process is most effective in any
particular locality.
In the eastern states excellent sue
cess has attended the use Of lime, salt
and sulphur wash, which has also been
very effective on the western coast.
Different results have been obtained
by different experimenters, but ex-
tensive experiments indicate that kero-
sene and crude petroleum are very re-
liable and exceedingly effective insect
cides against all scale insects.
1t Is generally recommended that
trees should be sprayed In winter or
during a dormant period with these
substances In undiluted condition or
mixed with water. In some localities
trees have been injured by using the
spray in undiluted form even in win

ments have been made which show
that these substances in solutions of
strengths varying from Is to 20 per
cent. may be safely used upon the
trees in full foliage. Conservative au-
thorities on the subject of the value Of
kerosene and petroleum recommend
that these substances be used only In
mechanical mixture of water of diff
ferent strengths UP to about 25 per
cent
In general it is recommended that
spraying with kerosene should be done
only on bright sunshiny days, when
evaporation is comparatively rapid.
Whale oil soap in the proportion Of
two or two and one-half pounds to the
gallon of water is also very effective
remedy for scale insects.

self sideways from the track, dug her
hands in some turf to keep from being
dragged under the engine, and the
train passed over her foot.

This disease Is reported as serious

The fungus seems to be dependent
upon wounds for entrance to the host

series Of ridges may be developed.
Two kinds of summer spores are
produced, the first small and unicel-

having three or more cells. The lat

for the spread of the disease during
the summer. In the spring compact
