WANT STREET CAR TO
TRAVERSE CHESTNUT ST,
Matter Of Possible Change in
Route Taken up by Council
and Conference will Be
Had With Promoters
Looking to Such
Change.

At the council meeting Tues
day evening Alderman Boylan
took up a question of more than
passing moment to Chestnut street
business men when he asked that
action be taken looking toward
a change in route of the proposed
street car line so as to turn west
to Lake Boulevard, the present
plan Of the company being to
traverse Wyoming avenue only,
making only crossing of the
main thoroughfate Of the city,.
Alderman NOLAN conceded
with his colleague in the necessity
Of the line traversing Chestnut
street, but moved an amendment
that the line enter the city by
way Of Mesaba avenue and turn
west from that corner. This
amendment was accepted and the
committee on streets, alleys and
sewers was appointed to take the
matter up with the company and
see if the desired changes may not
be had.
This change would make of the
car line a vastly more important
adjunct to many Of the business
places on the street, and would
not tend to make any one corner
the "only'' corner in the city.
The question has been raised be-
fore, and the company seemingly
has no objection to the proposed
change aside from the fact that it
would necessitate the crossing of
additional railroad tracks in their
route to and from the city.
The building Of the line has
passed the prospective stage, and
even though the route may not be
changed as desired it will prove
of inestimable value to Virginia
commercial interests, for shoppers
are going to know where the
stocks and where the bargains are
to be found. And if they do not
know, they will soon get wise by
reading the ads. Of Virginia mer.
chants.

ice path on Lake Superior. The
distance was three-eighths of a
mile, best three in five, and Miss
Hartford showed the way in each

bundle Of speed tied up. About
81 500 changed hands on the re-
suit.
Thea acted badly. In warming
up she bucked like western cac-
tus hurdler, and Homer Ross, who
was behind her showed wonderful
patience in trying to square her
away. At the score the filly
showed a grevious tendency to
mix gaits, evincing a decided
choice for trotting. She refused
to come alongside Miss Hartford
in approaching the starting

had to be sent away slightly in

must be said that Ross asked for

The idea of training the armies
Of useful insects to attack those
that are injurious to mans inter
ests is not altogether new; it was
put into practice on small scale
in France in 1910, but it il only
since 1889 that il has been largely
developed in this country, and since
1905 ii has assumed an Importance
not previously imagined, through
the systematic cultivation Of the

tested tree. The varlike fly para
sites are confined in the cage, and
they are not long in making their
attack by depositing their eggs in
the larvae of the moths. The in
scots developed from these eggs be
come the rank and file of a larger
army which may be sent upon a
campaign in the open. But expert
ence has shown that smaller cages.
of various forms, are more effective
in the work of breeding and train
ing an insect army.
Curiously enough it has been
found that some of the parasites
attacking the moths, particularly
the flies called Tachinids, are
themselves attacked by secondary
parasites. which thus serve rs al
lies of the enemy. One of the prob
lens with which it is necessary TO
deal is that of guarding against or
getting rid of. these secondary par
asiteS.
But many othe" noXious insects
beside the moths named have NOR
tai enemies which are now known,
and the cultivation of these and
their formation into armies of res
cue are receiving attention. The
elm leaf beetle, the plant tick. and
mulberry scale insect, the various
weevils, and the plant lice and
grain aphids all have their insect
foes. which can be let loose upon
them. Recently a species of large
bembecid wasp has been sent from
New Orleans to Algeria to wage
war upon kind of fly which i'm
parts the sleeping sickness to
dromedaries. The wasps went over
in refrigerated cocOons, from which
fun hedged insects were developed
in Algeria, but their subsequent
history is not yet known.
Considering what has been ac-
complished, one might be tempted
to hope that an insect foe of mos
uuitoes and house flies may yet be
discovered and sent out on a spe
cies of warfare to which the most
tender hearted sentimentalist could
hardly object.
