TRAP FOR KILLING INSECTS
Novel Method Of Destroying Moths
and Other Insects Which Are
Harmful to GrapeVines.

A novel method of killing moths and
other insects which are harmful to
grapevines has been adopted near
Rheims. Posts supporting five-candle-
power electric lamps were placed III
the vineyards, and from each post q
dish containing water with a top layer
of petroleum, was suspended. During
the first night these traps were placed
in three parallel rows at distances of
about 200 feet from each other, the
distance between each lamp being
about rs feet. On the first clear
evening the current was turned on
about eight o'clock and the lamps re
NAMED burning until an hour or Sc
after midnight. Soon after the lamps
were lighted the insects swarmed
toward them and were rapidly killed,
either by the fumes of the petroleum
or by the petroleum itself. The same
operation was resumed the next clear
night, but the lamps of the two out
side rows were placed about rs feet
closer to those of the center row, and
this was repeated on each of five sub
sequent clear nights, so as finally to
bring the three rows within about so
feet of each other. During the sue
ceeding six or seven clear nights the
movement was reversed, in the same
manner, so as to return the lamps to
their position of the first night. AS to
the position Of the lamps, numerous
experiments were made during these
trials, and 1t was proved that the
greatest number of insects were killed
when the petroleum dish was only
few inches above the ground.

WASHINGTON STATE HAS
SMALLEST DEATH RATE
Mortality Per Population Of 1000 10
Only Ten.-New Hampshire Shows
Highest Death List.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.--Washing-
ton state leads the commonwealth
of the nation In healthfulness, accord
ing to statement issued today by
the United States census bureau. The
northwestern states death list per
1000 of population In 1910 was only
ten. That OF the United States-or OF
the states included in the registration
was Is.
The census bureaus figures we're
based on a group Of states whose pop
ulation comprises ffty-nine per cent
of the total of all the states. and
gives fairly accurate idea of the
health Of the nation.
According to the figures, the north
west is the healthiest part OF the
country. Montana was second in the
list OF the least number of deaths, the
returns showing 1915 deaths per thous-
and in 1910. New England states
were apparently the least healthful.
New Hampshire shows the highest
death rate of the nation-17.3 per
1000, in 1900 Maine and Rhode Isl
and were close seconds each with III.
Connecticut gre 1915 In 1910, as
against 18 in 1900; New York 16.1,
compared with 1872; Ohio, 1871 In
1900, figures for 1910 missing.
Figures for 1900 were not available
for all states, but the statement In
dicated that in every case the mortal
ity rate had decreased. tuberculosis
claimed the most victims, S6,039 per-
sons dying In 1910 from the white
plague. Typhoid caused 1858 deaths.
The national death rate has de-
creased steadily from 1913 in 1880. Ir
1900 IL was 17.6.

EASTERN WOMEN
ALARMINGLY FAT
Observer Tells Of Prevailing Tend
ency Of Matrons To
Corpulency.

NEW YORK, Sept S.-"Why are
there 80 many fat women" A man
rushing upon his doom asked this
question today. He spoke OF the in
creasing prevalence of large feminine
persons, not with admiration, but
with profound dismay.
Why are there SO many lat wo-
wmen?" he reiterated. II have
watched the passing throng in several
cities In This state this summer, and
while one fat man was passing have
counted not less than four fat women.
This ratio has held true whenever
and wherever l have had occasion TO
take observations.
These women are. for the most
part, between 35 and So years old.
They either waddle ponderousiy or
propel themselves forward with not
the slightest perceptible freedom OF
motion, looking the while like
statutes moving on rollers.
II also have observed them IN
large numbers at different summer
resorts, both inland and on the At
lantic coast. They eat with exceed
ing gusto. Nothing on the menu
escapes them.
"Fattenlns for slumberous Old Age"
THE alarming corpufence OF our
mfddie-aged women Is getting serious.
They seem to be fattening for a slum-
berous old age.
IF one looks about In New York
theaters and restaurants the con-
cfusion that the New York women
seen there are about twenty pounds
overweight, looms large and newt
able. And In those restaurants lies
the explanation of the phenomena.
We eat too much In New York, be-
cause the best food In the country Is
shipped here and the best cooks pre-
pare II.
