TO KILL ROADSIDE INSECTS
Right Tine to Do Work Is Late in
Fall When Cold Weather Has
Set in and Vegetation Dry.
tBv GEORGE II. GLITzKE)


A great many people have the mis-
taken idea that the time to burn the
roadside in order to kill the many in
sects that winter in these places, is
in the early spring of the year.
If you will watch closely at such a
place where the roadside has been
burned in the spring you will see the
insects coming out of the ground very
thicllly on the warm days.
This proves that the insects were
not killed. Most of them are in the
ground and the heat of the fire pass
ing ever them does not harm them
and the trash burned from above them
makes it all the easier for the insects
to come forth.
While no doubt a few of them are
killed the majority of them are lnin-
iured.
The right time to burn these road
sides to do effective work is in the
late fall of the year, after the cold
weather has already set in and all the
tender vegetation is dry.
Then. if the rosdsides are burned,
the insects in such places will be kill
ed by heavy freezing. as they usually
do not go very deeply into the ground
but seem to depend on the covering
of trash to protect them from the cold
This is a great bit more effective
in the killing of the insects than the
spring burning.
Not only does the fall burning OF
the roadsides do good by the killing
Of tie insects that winter there, but it
also helps TO keep the road in better
shape BY allowing less snow to collect
in the drifts as it usually does in
places where there is much grass and
weeds.

king OF DETECTIVES 5;
William ]. Burns the Worlds
Greatest Sleuth.
Common Sense Is the Secret ct Ills
Success - The McNamara Case
Has Made Him Famous
the World Over.

Los Angeles, Cal = Common
sense the most uncommon thing
in the world, is the secret by
which William J. Burns, whose work
in connection with the Mcnamara
cases made his name worldwide, has
risen to be crowned king Of American
detectives. Although he has dealt with
some of the most hardened criminals
in the country he has never fired
shot at human being. ~
Burns is the essence of the ordi-
nary. A man about middle height,
broad shou dered, with prominent fea-
lures and a rair CT graz eyes that bore
through you and the wall beyond,
reddish brown hair. Untouched by
age; his mustache tinged with gray,
attired probably a bit mere carefully
and up to date than he average bust
ness man, and with a manner alert
and positive, he presents not the ap-
pearauce Of a detective but to the
unknowing passes OF for a prosperous
citizen of fastidiout lste regarding
dress. M
Burns was appointed 10 the govern
ment secret service - 1890 and was
located in the west working in Indian
territory, Texas, ltfh and the
south He was scon placed in charge
Of that district. and S94 was trans
ferred to Washinstca, where he was
promoted for good work and got
rowing commisstil.. going wherever
there was an hni sually important
case.
One of the biggest feats in those
days was the rinnng down of the

10 Live Amonn Poor

Chicago Il.--Twelve wellknown
business and. professional men of Chi
,cago will forsake their usual pursuits
and manner of life for a time and live
in the slums of Chicago, if plans un-
der consideration by tbs Social Serv-
ice Commission Of the Men and Re-
ligion Forward Movement are adopted.
The need of first hand information as
to conditions in the poorer districts of
the city is the cause for this contem
plated radical move.
Reform in the manner of life and
work of the immigrant classes is one
of the things which is being empha-
sized the most in the mems movement
and such information is considered es-
sential to the work.

Washington has turned out an au-
tomobie road maker, or in reality a
traction engine made to haul a seven
foot road scraper capable of turning
over the road it covers in its progress
of ten miles every four hours. The
traction engine looks like an automo-
bile with the hood and body gone,
except that the wheels are of iron
with tires as broad as those on a
threshlrg machine The framework
Of the car is OF heavy steel, firmly
riyeted, SO that the strain of hauling
the road scraper through rocky soil
can be withstood. When the scraper
is detached it is possible to attach
a ten~section plow TO the engine and
do all kinds of farm work. The ma
chine is steered with wheel from
the drivers seat, the same as any au-
tomobile.

extensive land frauds in the west. He
was more than three years on this
case and when he had finished and
turned the evidence over to the gov
ernment it resulted in the conviction
OF United States Senator Mitchell of
Oregon and of two wealthy land own
ers, Hyde and Benson of California.
From these land cases ABurns went
TO San Francisco to dig amid the mass
of political and municipal corruption
in that city Three years were neces-
cary for the investigation 1t resulted
in sending Mayor Schmitz to the peni-
tertiary for five years; Ruef, the po-
litical boss, for fourteen years; Glass,
yice-president and general manager of
the Pacific State Telephone company,
and several others to prison for vaTi-
Gus periods.
Burns, notwithstanding the nature
of his profession, has strong belief
IN the integrity of human nature.
There never was time" he says
when the moral sentiment of the
peop'e was more easily and quickly
aroused than at present, or when
there was a finer sense of honesty in
the various relations of daily life
Even bad men want good govern
ment-if they are not making money
out of bad government Nor do be-
lieve in TIE heredity of crime. Lom-
broso and other scientists speculate
and write essays, but coming right
down to common experience, which
is better test than philosophy or
long tables of figures, know that
environment and not birth is the one
great cause of criminal conduct"
He has always held that the detec-
tive business was simply matter Of
common sense. He is continually tell
ing his subordinates that every crook,
no matter how clever he is, always
leaves trail behind.
Intellectually, Burns is the most re-
sourceful and brilliant detective in the
United States. Nowhere else on earth,
perhaps, can anyone match him in the
ability to think out the snarled prob.
lens of mystery and crime.

of the country into even good gravel
roads That this is desirable few will
gainsay and that it is becoming nee.
essary under modern conditions and
the relations now existing between
producer and consumer is also quite
generally admitted. The increased cost
of hauling over unimproyed roads is
an immense tax upon the farmer and
those who purchase his products, and
is a restriction on the crops which
can be raised and moved in certain
localities.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion finds that two hundred and sixty
five million tons OF agricultural forest
and miscellaneous products OF the
land are hauled to depots for ship
ment in the course of a year. Figured
on q basis of the average haul at the
lowest average rate over unimproved
roads, % certs per ton per mile, Il e
cost would be four-hundredt thirty
two millions, four hundred thousand
dollars. Ii the hauling could b. re.
duced to one-half the present average
or 111ac a Ton, the resultant saving
would exceed $2O0O00OOO year
That such a saving is reasonable is
indicated by the experiences in other
countries and in localities where inn
proved roads are found The cost Of
hauling ON such improved roads is
placed at from to 10 cents per ton.
The Introduction of wise and equit-
able road laws and good business
management would. it is estimated,
save forty million dollars more in the
administration of the country's roads
or leave it for some other use.
