Experience has shown that it is
difficult to save individual trees af-
ter they have been attacked by the
blight. The only remedy which has
proved of any value in saving in
diVidual trees is to cut off the affect
ed branches one to two feet below
the infection. Where the disease is
attacking large branches, or the
trunk, the infected portion must be
gouged out with a chiseI so as to re-
move all trace of the fungous fila
ments (mycelium). This mycelium
is found some distance beyond the
canker, in apparently sound bark,
and it also works through the wood
beneath the canker. Since it is
practically impossible to detect the
mycelium where it is just beginning
its work, it is necessary to cut sew
eral inches into the sound bark be-
yond the canker, and at least an inch
into the wood beneath it, in order to
be sure that all infection is removed
All the affected wood and bark
should be carefully collected and
burned. The wounds made by cut
ting off branches or gouging out
wood and bark should be thoroughly
drenched with Bordeaux mixture,
and then well coated with shellac or
tar to prevent the enhance of spores.
Also, it is well to dip the cutting
tools in Bordeaux mixture, to de-
stroy any spores adhering to them.
Even when the disease is just start
ing, and the above treatment is CIV
en- by careful and experienced men
working under the best conditions, it
is often impossible to save the trees.
So far no spray has been found
which will kill the mycelium beneath
the bark. The only practical meth
cd of destroying the spores-and
thereby checking further spread of
the blight-is to fell the infected
trees and destroy the bark and
brush. The trees should be thrown
so that they will break as few limbs
as possible on adjoining sound trees.
All trees that show infection, no
matter how slight, should be re-
moved. AS soon as the tree is fell
ed, the badly infected parts, that is,
the parts showing cankers and pus-
tules, should be cut out and burn
ed at once, if the condition of the
woods permits lighting of a fire
without danger of its spread. The
portions of the tree which are to
be used should then be carefully
peeled, and the bark, together with
branches and other Embarked por-
tions of the tree, should be complete
ly destroyed by burning. The stumps
should be cut as low as possible,
and the bark peeled to the ground
line.
1t should be impressed on every
one that every particle of diseased
bark must be destroyed. New in
fections are frequently found along
roads, railroads, telephone and tele-
graph lines, showing that there is
| danger in transporting the product
of diseased trees, unless the bark
ing is carefully and conscientiously
done. 1t is especially dangerous
to haul cordwood from infected
trees, unless all the infected bark
has been destroyed before this ma
terial is moved from the spot where
the tree is felled.

gle breasted coats are preferred, the
round Eton collar is used, either of
self material or of velvet. Full
length coats OF ecru pongee made,
some with empire style and others
with shirred effect at the waist, or
in the Norfolk fashion, with a belt
of patent leather, are extremely
smart for the girl of six or eight
years.
Embroidery appears in every con-
ceivable manner and place on the
children's dresses, but on the outer
wraps is confined to collar and cuff
decoration. Bedford cord in white
and gray is widely used again for
these small coats.
Dutch bonnets with puff crowns
made of taffeta or straw braid to
match the coat in color will enjoy
much favor. The trimming for these
little bonnets are small punches of
tiny silk roses. Other charming
models are of panama trimmed in
black velvet ribbon or shapes of
navy or black milan, flared sharply
in front with wide facings and shir-
red rosettes of color over each ear.

More About Hats.

Colored hats of braid, with rolling
brim made on wire frames and
trimmed with changeable taffeta, are
used for darker hats. Immense bows
of ribbon, with standing loops, form
the trims. Bordered and fancy rib
bons are used for these big ribbon
decorations and loops are wired to
keep them in the outstanding posi-
tions.
Although but one trimming ma
terial is used, or at most two, on
this plass of millinery-ample guam
titles are necessary of this single
material. Bows are very large,
sweeping like wings, from the body
of the hat. But some small fancy
feather ornaments are effectively
used on small shapes. They are
vivid in coloring as a rule, with
cerise and primrose the favorites and
the strongest of bright greens next.
1t is already settled that black and
white Will have a great vogue in the
coming midsummer.
Rajah Ring.
Durbar interest has crept into the
jewelers. realm, and hence the very
latest things in this line are the In
dian armlets (to be worn on the
bare arm or over the sleeve) and the
rajah ring. The latter is facsimile
of the ring worn on the little toe of
the dancing girls of India. 1t
reaches below the joint of the fin
ger and rests on the back of the
hand. In trying it on most women
place it upside down. 1t makes a
striking unique dinner ring.
Nearly all the armlets are coiled
serpent designs, for the serpent is a
lucky emblem in India.

THE CHESTNUT BLIGHT.
Different Phases of the Blight Dis
cussed and Explained by 5. B.
Detwiler, Executive Officer of
Blight Commission,

Few people recognize the blight in
time to save the affected trees, as
the trees show little outward sign of
their true condition until irreparably
injured. The disease may be To-
Gated and recognized by some or all
of the following characteristics:
l. Dead branches, usually with
withered leaves clinging to them. In
the spring, prior to death, the leaves
on the infected branches remain
small and sickly looking, and grad
ually take on a yellowish tinge.
When these leaves finally die, they
have a peculiar wilted appearance.
The burrs also remain small and un-
developed. On the branches attack
ed after the leaves have fully de-
Veloped, the leaves assume their yell
lowish or reddish-brown fall colors.
On trees killed by blight during the
growing season, prior to September,
both leaves and burrs usually remain
clinging to the branches during the
following winter, and are of great
value in helping to locate infected
trees. All dead branches should be
examined closely for further indica-
tons OF the disease, particularly at
the base of the dead parts.
=. Cankers on diseased branches
or the trunk, where the bark is not
thick and rough. These cankers are
areas of dead, discOlored sunken
bark, often more or less broken by
cracks or cheeks into the inner bark.
Old, thick bark does not change in
outward appearance until a year
or so after it is diseased, when il
begins to peel from the tree in
shreds.
Prior to shedding, thick bark
which is diseased, gives forth a
peculiar hollow sound when struck
with hammer, due to a space be-
tween the wood and bark caused by
the decay of the inner bark.
3. Small reddish blisters appear
on cankers with smooth bark. Later
the tops of these blisters burst, form
ing small Wart-like eruptions of pus-
tules of a sulphur-yellow, orange or
brown color. In the deep cracks
of old bark, the pustules form red
dish or Orange-cOlored lines. These
pustules are the fruiting bodies
which form the spores. Sometimes
bright yellow, twisted threads of the
tiny microscope spores are sent out
from the pustules. These threads
are jelly-like at first, but soon be-
come firm and brittle. They vary
from one-siXteenth to one-half inch
in length, and are dissolved by the
rain, which distributes the spores
over the surface of the bark.
A. The mycelium or the vegetative
portion of the fungus shows as
small, irregular fanshaped areas of
yellowish or buff-color, when the
surface of diseased bark is shaved
off or cut into slant-wise. This is
the portion which produces the
spore-bearing pustules, and also the
part that saps the life of the bark.
8. Death of tops, or of entire
trees. These dead trees are often
conspicuous for the reddish brown
patches of bark, due to the presence
of the postules.
G. Suckers or water sprouts, which
develop at the base of the cankers
or at the base of the diseased tree.
They are frequently very numerous,
and grow vigorously for one or two
seasons, after which they are usual
ly killed by the fungus.

was brigade marching on 4 road
leading eastward and on q line south
Of Gettysburg. Its commander, a colo
mel, suddenly found his troops entan-
Eled among the scattered Confederate
forces marching nOrthward. Either he
must find an outlet or he must be cap
tured. Being without a guide and not
knowing the country, his position was
perilous. Sitting on his horse where
two dirt roads met, surrounded by his
staff, all wearing anxious faces, the
colonel was ut n loss what route to
take. A house stood back in an angle
between the roads, and in the doorway
stood a boy about ten years old. He
had never before seen a soldier, and
his eyes were wide open with aston
iShment and admiration.

"Bullyw

The boy eagerly ran forward. An

the colonel sent an aid to order the
brigade to follow.
Several roads converged toward the
point the colonel was making for, and
marching in the same direction on his
right was a column of Confederate
troops, with another on his left. But
the three columns were too far apart
TO know Of one another's proximity.
Finally the Union men heard sounds on
their right. The colonel sent n small
force Of cavalry in that direction TO
reconnoiter. They came back, report
ing "a road filled with COnfederates.
I'VE rust get off this road" said the
colonel anxiously, and he gave an or
der for the command to oblique into

A grim smile stole over the features
of the members of the staff at the idea

the colonel. too keenly sensitive to the
situation to notice the way the boy had
expressed it, gave an order to hurry
ON TO the hiding place. The brigade
soon reached the wood, and the colonel,
listening, heard confused sounds-cais-
sons rumbling, occasional shouts and
now and again the report Of musket
shot.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan U.s.
Miners antd operators met here to-
day in conference 10 discuss the re-
lations between labor and capital In
the bituminous coal-mlning industry.
For the first time since the great
break In 1906, the operators OF Hi
uois. Indiana. Ohio and western Penn
sylvaEia have consented 10 a Joint
meeting with the representatives OF
the 100000 laborers. embraced in the
United Mine Workers. Heretofore,
the operators of some OF the states
have refused to meet in a general
conference. preferring to deal with
the district organizations of the min
crs only.
The demands OF the miners are
greater than any that have been made
in recent years. Since more is ask
ed than in 1870 when after fruitless
conferences between miners and OPP
orators all negotiations were declar-
ed off and the workers went on strike
there was much speculation today as
to the course of the operators.
All OF the important contracts be-
tween the operators and the miners
expire on March 81. District contracts
are based on the results of the joint
conference.
The mine workers convention today
adopted the proposed constitutional
amendment providing that an election
for the recall of international officers
shall be ordered on petition OF 30 per
cent OF the membership OF the union.
II was decided that the international
