SEALED CARDBOARD CARTONS
Economic Importance of Such Con- tainer Made Plain by the Depart
 q ment of Agriculture.

The United States department of az riculture has just issued bulletin (No. 15), in which sealed cardboard container for cereals is described, which should do much to protect ce- reals from insect attack.
 The economic importance of such container for cereals which the grocer sells by the box is greater than at first appears. Packages may become infested while in the grocer's store room or on his shelves. Warehouses are also usually more or less infested by insects which crawl around on the packages. When such packages are purchased, the buyer, on discovering that they have been attacked, usually returns them to the grocer. the grocer return them to the mill where they were prepared, and the mill screens the cereal and sells it as feed The exact financial loss due to these con- ditions can not be accurately deter mined, but extensive observations lead to the belief that it is much greater than most millers suppose,
 The new bulletin, which is con- tribution from the bureau of entomol- ogy, gives the results of experiments in California, with packages that were regularly closed by gluing the ends, and with those which were covered by a piece of label paper so that an insect could not enter without piercing the label The result of this expert ment showed that the nonlabeled pack ages were thoroughly infested with insects, while the labeled packages were absolutely free from insects.

 The Climbing Bar of Silver.
 The bar of silver slides up or down cord, responding to the commands of the magician (Fig. D. Fig shows the construction of the bar Take a finch piece of small mailing-tube, and cut wooden plug for each end GA Fig. 8. Gut the cord B inches long, tie fancy-work ring to one end, and slip the other end through a hole in the center of one end plug; cut cord c 12 inches long, slip one end through hole pierced through the side of the tube, knot that end outside of the tube, and slip the other end through the ring on cord B and then through the hole in the other end plug. Fasten the plugs in the tube ends with glue or tacks, and then cover the tube, side and ends with tin-foil. By examining Fig. s you will see that it is only necessary to pull the ends of both cords to make the bar climb, and to slacken your hold upon them to make the bar slide down. In exhibiting this trick first pull on cord c, then on cord B, to show the audience that the cord slides through the tube freely.

Tho First Pincers.

The Holsters claw is said to be the
original gasfitter's pincers. There are
especially the scorpions, and among
these we can find nearly as great va
riety as i'm the hardware shop. Shears
and scissors are very similar in opera
tiol to the pincers and we find num-
Der of creatures carrying such tools.
The carvings. for instance. carry pair
of forceps as skillfGlly constructed as
any dentist Uses. The power OF the
big pincers of a crabs or Holsters claw
is we'll known. and some of the modern
Instruments used for gasftting are

It Is Big Year For Little Fellows
Pittsburg "U" Surprise Of Season

The football season of 1913
will long be remembered as one
OF disaster and sprprise; as the
year when the under dog Knocked
the bally whey out of tradition
and got what had been coming to
him since the eolithic age.
In the east Pittsburg univer-
sity's eleven is the surprise pack
age, and in the middle west the
Michigan Aggies are upset.fng the
grand old dope to fare-ye-well.
Pittsburg has been coached by
Joseph M. Duff, one time Prince
ton star, assisted by "Nubbs"
Harlan and Logan Cunningham.
pals of old Nassau days.
Duff took his charges into the
mountains early in September
camped them in tents and taught
them football la Duff from the
sod up.
The eleven's strength is no
longer under suspicion. 1t scalp
ed Carlisle, IL to 6, and whipped
the cornelian out of Cornell, 20
to Z.
No athletic com bination from
Pittsburg is complete without its
Wagner, and the captain of Pitt
is Hubert Wagner, as great star
as Honus-of-the-diamond.
No relation to the famous
shortstop. Capt. Wagner upsets
dope and tradition and pays as
little attention to "form" as does
Honus the Great.
Quarterback Petey He'll is q
field general as good as the best
and he knows more football than
was ever printed.
Pitts bacx field Is simply
great. Ammons, Peck, william
son and Dillon are a hard CON-
bination to beat. Peck is
ground-gainer whoN starts like a
rifle shot and who hasn't learned
to stop. Dillon is broken field
runner whom Cornell critics COM
pare with Jim Thorpe.
Yes, it's a great little year for
the small fellows and a sad sea-
son for the big ones, THANKS to
the new rules and contempt for
tradition.

at the ball park and unless the
weather bureau is wrong, there
will sure be a great contest and
q great crowd. For everybody in
Tacoma wants to see. the big Stars
in action whether they play in
the mud or in first class field.
Yesterday the teams played in
Medford, Oregon, in drizzling
rain but that didn't keep over g.
900 fans away. The Giants won
by the score of to o. Today the
leaguers are playing in Portland
and tomorrow morning they reach
this city. In the afternoon they
play in Seattle. Tacoma fans are
disappointed by the announce.
ment that Mathewson and John.
son would not be seen in action
here.
