rnens of Entomology, Tuesday
night at the meeting Of the Ac-
ademy Of Science at Tulane Uni
yersity, that several hundred
thousand dollars damage within
recent years has been done
orange groves in Louisiana be-
cause OF The Argentine ants. Fir.
Orion has been sent here by the
government for the sole purpose
Of studying this very important
subject. He has an Office not
far from the residence of II. 5.
Cocks on Exposition Boulevard.
His results viii be waited fof
with special interest.
Mr.. Orton's paper dealt with
the means Of controlling the ant.
He said, while it is not generally
known among the public at large
only 2 per cert of all the ants
leave tie nests. Those who come
out to poster people are called
WORKERS The queen and the
male stay in the nests and wait
for the food that is brought TO
them.
For this reason any effective
means of destruction must be
SLOW in poisoning as it is aimed
to get into the home" OF the
insects. The ants ere without
eyes, but have feelers and 2
highly developed sense of hear
ing. Noises of machinery and
other Thugs making a great deal
of racket will brighten them 2
great deal.
Mr. Orion said one Of the most
effective poisons to get rid of
ants was a solution Of sugar ar
senite Of silver. Another good
way to conquer the pests Was
placing cord or tape which had
beer saturated v3:h Z solution Of
be-. sig5e 81 Y.p .no aioW-
ed TO ...y thoroughly. This will
last about three months.
E. r. Barber, also, from the

UNLUCKY MILKMAN
 IN SECOND MISHAP

A serious collision occurred thls
 morning at the corner of Park and Benham avenues when Fred Ejdsn- ger, 24 years old, a miikman of 709 Madison avenue, for the second time within a few weeks was injured. It was about 6 o'clock when a north bound trolley on Park avenue ran di- rectly into his wagon. The milk wag- on was entirely upset and the owner pinned beneath the debris. He was found badly cut and bruised when car employees and others attracte dby the crash removed the horses and lifted the wagon from his body.
 An ambulance call brought Dr. Macdonald who sewed up a thumb alm ost severed from the right hand. a badly cut little finger, deep lacera- ton of the right side and another on the left hip. Though it was believed he should undergo hospital treatment his victim refused and was taken to his home where he will be confined under the cars of a family physician.
 Ejdenger was recently in a similar accident when his wagon was struck by a speeding motorist on StratRord avenue, who was captured by the po- lice when City Court Judge Coughiin. a witness to the affair offered the use of his automobile for the capture.

GAM BLING AGAIN
 IN CANAL ZONE
 WITH DITCH DUG

Panama, Sept. 23-A persistent rumor is in circulation here that gambling will be permitted in the cities of Panama and Colon after October 10. When games of chance were suppressed in these cities by the Panaman government at the urgent request of the canal authorities a year ago, it was tacit1y agreed that the prohibition should remain in effect until completion of the construction of the canal. It is understood that the Panaman authorities construe the blowing up of the Ganboa Dyke on October 10 as practically terminating the canal work and therefore their obligations.
 The Panaman law against gambling resulted in a distinct monetary loss to the two cities by removing the in ducement for canal employees to visit them for the purpose of playing.

ULSTER LEADER
 DRAFTING AGAINST IRISH HOME RULE
Sir Edward Carson May Be Prosecuted For Sedition Or Deprived Of Privy Council Membership.

London, Sept. 23-The prospects of the attempt to bring about a com promise on the Irish home rule ques- ton have sensibIy improved, accord ing to the Pail Mall Gazette, a union ist newspaper which today says it is able to state that important com
 munications or conversations have passed informally between the British cabinet ministers and the leaders of the opposition. In the meantime, Sir Edward Carson, the leader of the Irish unionfst party, has started on the second week of his Ulster cam paign by delivering speeches which have led the liberal newspapers to ask whether he should not be prose- cuted for sedition or be deprived of his membership of the privy council.
 The business part of the Ulster campaign was entered upon, today, when the Ulster unionist members of parliament were informed of the civil and other plans to be followed when home rule becomes law and also ad- mitted to knowledge of the leading features of the provisional govern ment for the north of Ireland.
 A leader, in a letter to the press, today, warns the public that the chiefs of the labor party are finding it harder to control their followers who favor physical violence in the face of threats being made in Ulster of forcihle resistance to home rule.
