MAKE APPEAL 10 SCIENTISTS


With the confidence Of scientists
who stoop, grub aud study we have
come to learn many things about the
lowly Of the earth. On the prin-
ciple that everything living may be
dangerous, a useful theory has been
developed by which the enemy Of
crops may be fought by the more
valiant of his division. The partic-
ular enemy that has needed a sound
licking is the boil weevil, which
emaciates and destroys the cotton
growth. To fight this pest the
learned entomologists imported
some beetles from Guatemala, where
Gen. Lee Christmas has spread the
hostile spirit through all grades Of
antagonism. There was something
wrong with conditions of climate for
the alien beetles, however, and the
boil weevil proceeded scornfully with
his work of devastation. Now there
is a new boil weevil which is assail-
able through another weakness; it
is the pink boil weevil OF Hawaii, q
highly colored invader, confident, but
to be subdued. How cocky is the
party Of assault when it is colored
pink The scientists may immedi-
ately produce purple beetle Of equal
deadliness and work to the confusion |
of pink bypurple. sVn1 l0Annl

foretoId Good Fortune Coming % New
4 York Woman, and the Next
M Day u Came.

For fifteen years Mrs. Nellie Cou-
sins told her fortune with cards, new
err losing confidence in their efficacy.
For fifteen years she went about her
employment in stores in order to
help her husband maintain their lit
tie home.
AT night after her work was
cleared away she went back to the
faithful old deck of cards. Some
times the cards ran good for her,
sometimes not. But when she turned
up the five and ten of diamonds six
times in succession on recent Sun
day night she was overjoyed.
"0ur fortune is going to change"
she told her husband, according to
the New York Sun. Il know it is.
The cards tell me so and the cards
do not lie."
Confirmation was not long delayed.
A special delivery carrier came
knocking at her door the following
Monday morning. Mrs. Cousins took
the letter. 1t was from an attorney
in Philadelphia 1t told her she
wa1 heir to the $4,000 estate of
Mrs. Carrie Drexel, Philadelphia, an
aunt.
Mrs. Cousins, who is sixty years
old, had not heard from her aunt in
fifteen years.
She put the letter aside and went
to her work. She will finish out the
week despite the fact that the for
tune is enough to keep her in cop'-
fort the rest of her life.

The day for studying the London
Of Dickens has gone BY. The last
ten years have completely wiped
away the familiaF'signposts Of Dick
ems land. ~ = u
The Dickens lover used to find
pleasure in showing people where
Bill Skies and Nancy roamed, where
Oliver Twist held forth and Mr..
Pickwick and his devoted followers
gave ground for the worlds merri-
ment; but even the old streets have
disappeared and new ones have come
in their place, running sometimes in
directions.
There is more Of Thackeray's
Georgian London than of Dickens
Victorian, though even the old Geor-
gian- era has been dented and buckled
terribly by the modern fiat and giant
hotel. g.s
1t is only few years ago since one
saw Dickens characters at every turn
in the by-streets Of London. But
they are very rare nowadays and
when they do appear they attract at
tention in the light of echoes of by
gone days. And it could not be 9th

WASHINGTON, Aug. Mexican
topics furnished the topic for a dis
cussion between President Wilson
and Secretary of State Bryan today.
They considered the plan which the
President has in reserve should the
negotiations now in progress in
Mexico City between leading Mexi-
cans who are trying to frame a peace
agreement prove futile. This plan,
while details of It are withheld, con-
templates sending to Mexico a repre-
sentative commission, headed by a
high official Of the State Department,
possibly John Bassett Moore, the
counsellor to investigate conditions
and recommend peaceful remedy.
The President and Secretary of STATE
have been informed that the negotiations
in Mexico City have also progressed t'
such an extent that the resignation Of
President Huerta is imminent. 1t d
hoped that this is so. Were Huerta e
retire there is a good chance that his
successor, if he is man of high char
acter would receive recognition. But
neither Huerta nor anyone who ha'
been closely identified with his opera
tions will ever be recognized by Pres
ident Wilson's administration.
The administration has under con-
sideration making public a sharp re-
buke to certain elements in this coun-
try who are carrying on what the
President has termed to his callers a
campaign of Misrepresentation. In
spired stories of imminent foreign in
reference in Mexico, the administra-
tion evidence indicates. are put forth
by certain persons having big land
mining interests in Mexico who hope
TO reap a golden harvest through
American Intervention. It is positive
ly denied today on the authority OF
the President himself that there has
even been received here either an Off
eial or unofficial threat of European

COUNCIL KEEPS
OUT OF HOME
WEEK PLANS

At the meeting Of City Council last
night William P. White, president,
called the attention Of the members
to the fact that Council is expected to
name a committee to confer with the
Chamber of Commerce relative to
"Old Home Week" during the State
fair.
Mr.. Stover said that he was against
such a proposition. He served on the
committee last year and one time was
enough for him. he said. He declared
that last year the Council had
planned and carried out a very sue
cessful "Old Home Week" and that
many people we're against the Coun-
Gil in the matter. Some of the people
who we're against it last year are now
heartily for such a celebration.
Mr.. Draper said he was of the opin-
ion that Council should not go into
the matter at the present time.
II was pointed out, however. that
Council was simply asked to name a
committee to confer with a similar
committee from the Chamber of Com
merce. President White therefore
appointed Councilmen Grantland
Draper and Kane on a committee to
consult with the Chamber of Com
merce committee relative to what is
proposed to be done with respect to
the celebration this year.
