Bryan Pays Tribute.

Secretary Bryan was almost breathless
when he entered but plunged almost i'm
mediately into his speech, from which he
digressed after he had freed himself
from the bonds of manuscript" to declare
that he was not an advocate of increas-
ing ambassadors salaries. but l am in
favor Of purchasing homes for them, be-
cause it is democratic and because We
can fix their standard of living and make
them live like Americans
Secretary Bryan paid glowing tributes
to both of the diplomats. He said, in
part:
Il am here for a double purpose: First,
to introduce two distinguished gentlemen.
with such ability and distinction, repre-
and Ambassador Guthrie. to whom has
been given the honor of representing the
United States at Toxic. My connection
with the department having to do with
foreign relations makes it appropriate
that l should be present on this occasion
when these representatives of the re-
spective countries make each others ac-
quaintance.
The second purpose of my visit is to
pay nv respects and to express my per-
sonal regard for the gentlemen who are
intrusted with the honorable and respon-
sible mission of representing the two
countries SO long and intimately united
in the bonds of friendship. I have had
opportunity TO renew in this country an
acquaintance with his eXcellency. the
japanese amba ssador which began nearly
eight years ago in his faraway home.

TO TELL FATHERS WHAT TO DO.
Weekly Clinic Provided by Physicians
In Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, July 3l.-Physi-
clans in charge of the Children's Homeo-
pathic Hospital have decided to have
weekly clinics for fathers. Heretofore
they have conducted one for mothers
in order that a free course of instruction
might be given to show the mothers
how to care for the babies and chill
dren.
The course has proved such a success
that many of the mothers frequently
expressed the desire that their hus-
bands might hear the lectures, too. for
they said that many of the things that
they "went home and told" were not
believed.
The doctors began TO plan and investi-
gate and they found that many of the
errors of childhood might be corrected
if the cold man. only knew what TO do
in emergencies.
With this end in view a course in lee,
lures has been mapped out and every
Thursday night married men are eligible
for admission to the course. They will bt
taught when the child ought to be fed
what to give it and what TO do when the
mother is not around. Other vital facts
OF life will be explained to them
The doctors say they believe ther,
will be fewer fathers walking the flool
at night after the course has been com
pleted.

NO JUNKET
FOR COUNCIL
Body Will Not be Represented
at municipalities COnVen-
tiOn This Year
TALK OF WHARF
FOR JERSEY TRUCKERS

City Council as a committee of the
whole. last night wen on record as
opposed to "junkets." The subject
was brought out when the members
considered the advisability of having
the city represented at the annual
convention of the League Of Ameri-
can Municipalities, which meets In
Winnipeg, Canada, next month. The
League sent the invitation to Council
last week.
II was read last night and brought
out much opposition, and it vas de-
cided to 20 into an election of some
one to 90 to the convention. Several
ballots were taken but they all failed
to show a majority for any one and
finally II was decided not to send any
body one the trip.
To provide a public wharf at the
foot of Church street, for the Jersey
truckers, City Council this evening
may take some action towards con-
verting into a wharf the property re-
Gently acquired from the p B. and w.
Railroad Company, which includes
500 feet near Church street wharf.
Plans of the wharf were prepared by
City Engineer Taylor some time ago.
A concrete wharf would cost about
$4,000 while a wooden one would
cost $4,000
BY bringing New Jersey produce to
this city, it is said the cost of such
food stuffs in the local markets
would be reduced by one-half. and in
addition the city would derive a rev.
enue from the wharf.
Following the instruction of Coun-
Gil, Victor Gael, clerk of the markets,
will submit a report to that body this
evening setting forth just what
changes and recommendations should
be made in the street markets. II is
understood that Mr. Gael will be out
spoken in his views as to what Is
necessary to correct evils now exist
ing.

POTATO CROP THREATENED.
Tuber Moth Causing Havoc And Far
mers Are Warned.

mers Are warned.
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The Bu-
reau of Entomology of the Department
of Agriculture today issued a warning
to the great potato industry Of the
country, including the truckers of Della
ware, Eastern Maryland and Virginia, to
guard against the potato tuber moth,
which is playing havoc with the pota-
toes of California and Texas, and which
is rapidly spreading eastward.
The warning is issued at this time in
order to enable farmers to take special
action with the seed they will use for
the fall crop.
In its warning the department advises
the following steps be taken to fight the
moth:
potato growers are urged TO sort the
potatoes for seed two weeks after dig
ging and then sort them over two weeks
later The tubers unaffected by the tu-
Der moth should then be placed in a
moth proof bin. It is easy to pick out
the infested tubers because OF the eX.
crement of the moth. which adheres by
means of a web to the outside of the
potatoes and can easily be detected
"The tubers placed in the moth-proof
bin, after final sorting, should then be
fumigated by means of carbon bisulphid,
Tor bisulphid of carbon as it is also
known, in order TO kill any moths
which might have been bred. Carbon
bisulphid is applied by pouring small
quantities into fiat vessels such as milk
pans. The gas being heavier than air
naturally penetrates the mass of po-
tatoes. The bin should be tightly
closed for "a to 80 hours The utmost
care should be taken that no lamps, gas
or electric fan is brought close to the
bin, as the gas is inhammable and will
easily ignite and cause an explosion"
