subject of the suit The pearls were
imported as "unstrung" by Bernard
Citroen in 1906. He therefore paid
10 per cent. of their value. The gov
eminent alleged that the pearls were
really set or strung" and that 1t is
entitled to the higher duty. In its
brief the government says the neck
lace was purchased in Paris in 1906.
About week after the stones were
imported and after a duty of 10 per
cent. had been collected the govern
ment made demand for an addi-
dC lal duty Of 80 per cent. amounting
to $4,000. Citroen came to Wash
ington, it is said, protested against
the additional duty and asked for
refund of the duty already paid and
that he be permitted to return the
pearls to France. The request was
not granted. The additional duty was
paid and the pearls turned over to
Mrs. Leeds.
The Circuit Court of Appeals for the
second circuit held that the pearls
were dutiable at only 10 per cent. In
its brief In the case the government
quotes Mrs. Leeds as saying she wore
the pearls great deal in Paris in
1906; that the purchase was made
there, but they were to be delivered
In America. She placed the purchase
price at $4,000 and explained that
she turned over in Paris as part pay
ment another necklace of pearls for
which she had paid $4,000.

TO KILL ROADSIDE INSECTS
Right Time to Do Work Is Late In
Fall When Cold Weather Has
Set In and Vegetation Dry.
(Ry GEORGE II. GLITzKE.)

(By GEORGE H. 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, 10
in the early spring of the year.
If you will watch closely at such q
place where the roadside has been
burned in the spring you will see the
insects coming out Of the ground very
thickly 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 over 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 unin.
jured.
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 roadsides 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 the insects that winter there, but 1t
also helps to keep the road in better
shape by allowing less snow to collect
In the drifts as 1t usually does in
places where there is much grass and
weeds.
