POINTER HERE FOR farmer
Ono Good Thing, at Least, That He
May Place to the Credit Of
the Auto.

The farmer may not venerate the
automobile, but he must admit that,
although the automobile teaches 9TH
ers extravaganza, it has taught him
a very valuable lesson In economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice. or
aphis. overrun and destroy plants and
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly.
But of late years farmers have no
ticed that. while all the plants in field
or garden were covered with aphis.
all the roadside growths, white with
dust from flying automobiles, had not
single aphis on them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips. peas
and cabbages were coated with ordi-
nary dust instead OF costly powder.
Result, disappearance of all insect par
asites.
Tho automobile. in a word. has
taught the farmer that dust, which
costs nothing. will protect his plants
from plant lice and other pests Just as
completely as the most expensive
powder can.

bodies of the victims OF the Titanic

1T Is unlikely that any Of the
corpses will ever return to the sur
face. as is the case with bodies
drowned in shallow water
AT the depth OF two miles the pres

is far too great to be overcome by

Washington. - Like the missing
horseshoe nail that cost d monarch
his kingdom. The failure to provide
binoculars or spy glasses for the 10 TX
outs on the Titanic was one contrib
uting cause Of that ships loss and,
with II, the loss of more than sixteen
hundred lives. TWO witnesses before
the Senate Investigating committee
agreed on this. They were Frederick
Fleet, a lookout on the liner, and Ma
jor Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, Canadian
manufacturer and yachtsman, who was
among the rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that il he mad
been aided in his observation by
good glass he could probably have
spied the berg into which the snip
crashed in time 10 have warned the
bridge to avoid it.
Major Peuchen also testified to the
much greater sweep OF vision afforded
by binoculars, and, as a yachtsman,
said he believed the presence of the
time to escape the collision had the
lockout men been so equipped.
II was made TO appear that the
blame for being without glasses did
not rest with the lookout men. Fleet
said they had asked for the glasses at
SOUTHAMPTON and were told there were
none for them. one glass, in pin u,
would have served, in the crows nest.
Major Peuchen criticized in strong
"a lack "a aNDprjEurpI sailors
on board the Titanic. He said that
when the call to quarters was sounded
not enough of the crew responded to
undertake the work required in lower
ing and filling the boats.
Furthermore, he said, no drills mad
been held from the time the ship left
Southampton. although it was custom
ary to hold such drills every Sunday,
Herbert J. Pitman, third officer OF
the Titanic. told of his failure to turn
back the lifeboat in which he and lis
passengers were idly drifting to at
tempt the rescue of others when the
Titanic went down. Shudderng AT the
recollection, he said the cries for help
made ''one long, continuous moan"
fhe passengers insisted that to 90
back TO aid would mean their destrIc-
tion, he said. so that after starting N
the direction OF the cries, he rescinded
his orders and waited for the dawn.
Twice he begged to be spared recital
of the facts. but Senator Smith pressed
him.
