WORKS REPR0vES PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION
objects to Body Referring Back t.
Council Matters Submitted by
1t for investigation

President ]. D. Works of the city
council yesterday criticised the public
utilities commission for the non-com-
INITIAL way it has of reporting on mat
ters referred to it by the council.
"The utilities commission is falling
into the habit of referring back to this
council without recommendations the
very things the council refers to it for
investigation, said President Works,
"This method should be stopped
The reproof was brought out by the
submission by the utilities commission
to the council of a proposition by Ed
wards & Wildey to give the city $40O
in consideration of its passing a street
railway franchise on Melrose from
Heliotrope to Normandie over the
mayors veto. No recommendation was
made by the commission and the mat
ter was referred to the streets commit
tee for investigation.

WILL DEAL FAIRLY
WITH LIQUOR MEN
Mayor Alexander Corrects Misappre-
henson Regarding Plans Of
Police Comn1s-
sion

Two erroneous impressions that have
become current among liquor dealers
because of the rules recently adopted
by the police commission were cor
rected by Mayor Alexander yesterday.
One of these is that the commission
will not recognize the desire of a sa-
loon keeper to sell his business to an
other and will not transfer the permit
that makes the business worth any
thing at all. In discussing this matter
Mayor Alexander said yesterday;
"If 1 understand the police commits
sion's attitude. and 1 am sure l do,
the rule that provides that applicants
for permits will be considered in the
order of their application, does not
mean that a liquor dealer is absolutely
shut off from selling his business and
that the commission will not recog-
nize his desire to sell to another. The
rule is not arbitrary, but means the
commission does not bind itself to rec
ognize any one the holder of a permit
may designate in the matter of q
transfer. If the liquor dealer wishes
to sell his business and consents to
the revocation of his permit on condi-
ton that the commission gives it to
the intending purchaser the commits
sion will certainly investigate the
character and responsibility of the ap-
pllcant, ana IL lie Is III persoh W
have the permit he will receive as
much consideration as anyone else.
1.-THE idea that some liquor dealers
have that the commission is opposed
to their buying beer of the Maier
Brewing company is without founda'
ton. The commission wants local men
to patronize local industries and does
not care where a liquor dealer buys
his beer. What the commission does
object to is a brewer compelling a
liquor dealer to buy its beer of that
particular brewery at any price the
brewery may charge, through owning
the lease of the premises occupied by
the liquor house or through owning
the license and holding these as clubs
over the heads of the liquor dealers"

DIRECTIONS FOR SPRAYING.
Various Methods Recommended by th'

Various Methods Recommended by the
Kentucky Agricultural Station.
There are three general purposes for
which one must spray:
First.-For gnawing insects, such as
the Colorado potato beetle and the cod
ling moth. For these pests some poi
son is commonly employed, such as
paris green or arsenate of lead.
Second-For puncturing insects.
such as plant lice, scale insects and
the chinch bug. Coal oil in emulsion
is one of the most satisfactory prepa-
ratiOns for these pests, but several
others have advantages.
Third.--For fungous pests, such as
black rot of grapes, scab of apple and
the various mildews. These pests are
plant parasites and cannot be poisoned
with paris green. Oily preparations,
too. have little effect on them. For
most OF them Il good bordeaux mixture
or some preparation of sulphur is best
The answer to the question, What
spraying outfit shall | get:' depends
entirely on the kind of spraying to
be done and the extent of the work
proposed. If one has few rosebusheS
or tomato plants about a dwelling, or
even few small fruit trees, he can
get along very well with a small hand
pump, known as bucket pump. With
a little extra hose and a pole or BAN
boo rod. with which to elevate the
nozzle. it is possible to spray trees

Laundering Wash Goods

Black lawns, percales, dimities and

fade if spirits of turpentine in the pro-
portion of one tablespoonful to each
pailful of water is used in rinsing
after the dress is washed. The same
with black satin underskirts. Gum
arabic water, gelatine or thin glue
water is recommended instead of
starch for black dresses.

Of blueing should be used for navy

bran has been boiled. when strained
and cooled. is especially nice for col
ored lawns and dimities, giving them
clear new appearance.
Delicate pinks. green and lavenders
may be treated the same as black

Don't Burn Your Cornstalks.

The old practice of burning corn,
stalks in the field is still practiced In
some localities. and its WaStpfulneSS
does not seem to be understood. While
stalks may have but little value as
manure. they have a good deal in the
production of humuS. and farming on
land devoid of hrn!us is 4 heartbreak-
ing proposition. The cutting and ploW-
ing under Of the stalks involve no more
labor than do the breaking and burn
ing, while the former process saves all
of their value to Ghe land. Ashes from
cornstalks do not make good manure.
