him and his tradesbody.
The eyes of the country, from IL !,
commercial executive point of view,
are upon Georgia just now and the
success of the state Chamber means
that one will be established in every
state in the country that has not al :,

organizations has been similar to tn.

insects ATTACK
PECAN ORCHARDS
and ruin TREES
METHOD OF FIGHTING them
Forty Kinds Of Insects in
the Trees

No matter what agricultural or hor-
ticultural line person decides to fol-
lew, in Georgia, he must make q
knowledge of certain plant insects aud
diseases a part of his stock in trade
The state board of entomology is es-
tablished not only to furnish him in
formation on such subjects, but to as
sist him by demonstration in check
ing, controlling and getting rid o.
pests and diseases which affiict grow
ing plants and trees.
With the progress of the pecan in
dustry in Georgia, the department OF
entomology has made special study
OF it, and has found that the pecan
tree, which thrives in nearly all Sec
lions of the state, is subject to attack
by about forty species of insects while
only two diseases of any consequence
affect it.
State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham
has given some interesting data with
regard to the most prevalent in the
state.
The pecan bud moth, a small yellow
ish or pale green worm or caterpilla:
with a dark head, attacks young buds,
tender twigs and leaves. There are
several generations of it, the first
coming in May. The most effective
remedy is to spray with arsenate OF
lead before it has chance to get down
into the buds.
There are two species of the pecan
case bearer. This insect forms a case
around itself for protection. The first
attacks the young buds and twigs; the
second eats holes in the leaves and
devours the blossoms They can De
controlled by the use of arsenicals as
in the case of the bud worm.
Burn the Web Worm
The fall web worm is grayish or
brownish caterpillar which natures in
a large white webb, which it leaves
later to go to other parts of the tre..
The best method of control is burning
them with a kerosene or lightwood
torch before they leave their webs.
The pecan leaf caterpillar is rather
large and dark in color. Just prior CO
shedding their skins, these caterpilla.s
leave the branches on which they have
been feeding and congregate on the
trunk of the tree in large ball-likc
clusters. When congregated they can
be killed by burning, but they may be
killed before this by spraying with
arsenate of lead
The pecan tree borer, similar to the
peach tree borer, digs into the sap
wood usually where tree has been
injured or where it has been budde1
The best known remedy is to dig them
out with a knife wherever practicable.
The. wounds should be covered with
grating wax to prevent the deposit o.
eggs when the female energies in the
spring.
The pecan girdler is small beetla
which has the pernicious habit nj
girdling limbs and thus pruning them
off. The female has the habit of de-
posting her eggs in the branches
pruned off, and the insect is best con-
trolled by gathering up and burning
these branches during the winter.

Some interesting place cards are lit
tie kilograms. The envelope is white
printed in blue, and the words on the
envelope speak of good cheer and
friendliness. The telegram inside the
envelope has more to say regarding
friendliness and hospitality. The
name of the guest is to be written on
the outside of the envelope. Two
dozen of these kilograms, in a box,
are sold for IS cents. says the Cleve-

SUBSTITUTE FOR
A REFRIGERATOR

Take a box of the desired size and
remove the bottom, replacing it with
strips of wood about an inch wide and
two inches apart. Now stand the box
on end and nail cleats on the inside
to support the shelves which should
be removable for convenience in
cleaning. Next take a piece of burlay
which should be about 20 inches long
er than the height of the box and
wide enough to reach around the box
with few inches overlap. Beginning
at the edge of the box nearest the
front, tack the burlap on smoothly,
bringing it even with the bottom of
the box and allowing the surplus
length to project at the top. The bur-
lay should form the door of the box
by slipping the selvage edge of the
goods over row of small nails driven
up and down along the side of the
box. Place a twO-gallon pail filled
with water on top of the box and al
low surplus length of burlap to fall
over into the pail The burlap will
become saturated and tn evaporation
will keep the interior cool -Womans

WOMAN CREATED WORLD
SHE WAS A BRUNETTE
SAYS THE DISCOvERER

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA new
ly discovered tablet now at the muse
um of the University of Pennsylvania,
brought to this city from Babylonia,
gives what is now believed to be the
first story of the creation of the
world, as well as one of the most
wonderful accounts of civilization as
it existed in $500 b. c..
According to this story the world
was created by woman goddess She
was brunette, because the account
says that her hair was black. 1t is
stated that when the world became so
wicked that it had to be destroyed
the male gods. angry at the goddesses
opened the flood gates of heaven and
drowned all but one man and his
family
There are many parallelisms be-
tween this story and that of the Book
of Genesis DIR. Arno Poebel of Johns
Hopkins University, who has deciph-
| cred this tablet, has declared that, in
! his estimation it is the most remark
| able story of the Creation which the
world ever has known.
| The tablet tells of the peculiarities
of the women of those days. 1t says
that they had equal rights with men,
thus providing the suffragists with an
additional weapon for argument, al
though history in $500 B. c., says
nothing of militant methods.
| 1t contains beautiful epic poems,
such as characterize the Psalms, and
it is now thought that the Hebrew
| language, which came into use cen
turies after this Sumerian tablet was
written, copied its style. In this way
the archaeologists account for the
| writings of the Scripture in its present
| form.
The tablet relates all the essentials
of the story in Genesis. 1t tells OF
the creation of mankind first, just the
reverse of the story in the Bible.
Flood Lasted Seven Days.
1t tells of a flood that lasted only
seven days, instead of forty, or a year
as some historians have insisted tool
place 1t tells of the rewards of No
ah after he had been saved; of how
the ark was constructed and why No
ah was selected for salvation.
1t declares that one prehistoric kint
ruled $4,000 years. which makes Me
thuselah look like an infant. 1t de
clares that the number of years
which elapsed from the Creation t
the flood was 100000.
Parts of the tablet are missing ant

that the fragments may be located II

Violet Perfume and How 1t Is Made.

Violet Perfume and How 1t Is Made.
Violet perfume still holds its own
among manv newcomers with the
dainty woman, and, as it's preparation
is so simple and the apparatus neith
er complex nor expensive, women of
the present day might find violet per-
fume making at home interesting if
they but knew how to do it.
The volatile or essential oils of the
violets can be secured in several ways.
The simplest method, however, is to
place the flowers-with as little stalk
as possible-in a wide mouthed bot
tie or jar three-quarters full of the
best olive oil, then stretch bladder
over the top and tie it securely.
After the flowers have been in the
oil for twenty-four hours take them
out, place them in a coarse linen
cloth and squeeze the oil from them,
pouring the oil obtained back in the
bottle. Repeat this process with fresh
flowers until the perfume is of the
desired strength.
After the perfumed OIL has been Sc
cured it must be dissolved with spir-

fumes must be selected with care, and
the safest way is to buy the regular
cologne spirits" AS a rule there
should be used about half as much al
cohol as there is oil. 1t is an easy
matter to tell when enough alcohol
has been used, as the mixture will
have a white or clouded appearance
as long as the oil is undissolved, but
will be perfectly clear when the oil
is entirely digested.
Never throw away the cloths used
in the processes, but place them in a
jar of alcohol. leaving them there un-

We will present Tuesday, "The
Ne'er to Return Road" a drama of
intense heart interest written by Mrs
Otis Skinner in two reels. A power
full play again emphasizes THE Wa
ges of Sin Is Death" and the after
math of tragedy is tears. This new
treatment of the world-old theme,
and a heart-hold in the mothers love,
adds intensity to interest. and the ele-
ment of suspense is dominant to make
it tense and thrilling.

lig in two parts. 1t is difficult to
conceive a deeper sense of injury than
the case of the mother facing the
murderer of her son after many years;
seeing him lie prone in her power,
begging for mercy, when she has a
loaded rifle in her hand, and all of
the hatred of pent-up years to back
the bullet for revenge. This is the
cruix and almost the climax OF a
powerful new pictorial and emotion
al play from the pen of Mrs. Otis
Skinner. The victim of a modern
Cain had a mother who had grieved
long and deep and in her wild mo-
ments dreamed of vengeance but
when it came to the test, pity over
whelmed her, inspired her for bet
ter part, so that she really provided
