To Entice Their Victims is the
Charge Made in Report to
National Conference.
tBy Charles Brooks smith.l


WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. "a
A charge that electrified the Monday
meeting of the National Conference
of the Catholic Charities Association.
which is in session here this week
was included In the report of the
Catholic Woman's League. of Wheel
ing, w. Va. It was charged in the
report that white slave traders are
using the garb of nuns to entice their
victims, and the society made a spe-
cial plea for the protection of girls
from white slavers and other dam
gers at the Panama exposition next
year.
The meeting of the women's sec
ton of the association was held in
Trinity College and was presided
over by Mrs. ]. NJ. Molamphy. OF
Pittsburg Mrs. Thomas Beattie. OF
Wheeling, was one of the speakers
for the occasion. According to the
report there is reason to think that
number of those dealing in the
white slave traffic assume the robes
of nuns and Sisters of Charity, and
that so some of the stories exploited
by the anti-Catholic papers against
the sisterhoods OF the church are
traceab1e to the operations OF such
people. A committee was appointed
to devise plans for protection OF girls
at the Panama exposition
Members of this committee from
West Virginia are Miss Feinler, OF
Wheeling, and Mrs. Thomas Beattie,
of Wheeling. The afternoon sessions
were devoted to discussion of the
care of children and social and civic
activities. Miss Mary A Barr, of
Charleston, made one OF the adj
dresses on the afternoon program.

VARIATION
In Prices of Lamb and Mutton
in This Country is Shown
to Be Very Wide.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Sept. 2

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. a.
Food specialists of the Department
of Agriculture who have been investi-
eating the subject dnd that there Is
a wide variation In the prices asked
for lamb and mutton in different
cities and towns and even In diner
emit butcher shops in the same local
by the pound for these foods closely
approach those asked for beef and
pork. In other places owing to condi-
tions of local supply. there Is such a
price difference between mutton and
beef as to make mutton a relatively
cheap food. The specialists OF the
department of Agriculture find that
in nutritive value and digestible
mutton is practically interchangeable
with beef. The waste Is about the
same percentage, although mutton
has a slight advantage over beef IN
containing less water.
In many markets where the pound
price of mutton and lamb is high.
careful shoppers will find that they
can obtain this form of meat very
much lower by buying hind quarters
or half carcasses instead Of buying
chops and roasts separately by the
pound. In the case of hind quarter
the chops can be cut on and served
for one meal and the roast Will serve
for another meal. In this way the
family frequently will obtain chops
at a price per pound lower than that
asked for roast alone by the pound.
Where half carcass is bought. add
ton to the chops and roasts, the
family will have a fore quarter and
meat for stewing. The sheep is very
convenient for purchase in this way
as 1t is small and can be kept in an
ordinary refrigerator. Frequently
families combine and buy a whole
carcass and divide 1t, and In this case
get still better prices and obtain ex-
pensiye cuts at a low average per
pound. The specialists of the de-
partment advise women who find the
cost of other meats oppressive to In
vestigate these quantity buying
methods and also to look into the
differences in prices charged for
lamb and mutton by different retail
ers. in their neighborhoods.

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
LEARNING ROADS VALUE,
The Nation Awakening to Benefits Of
improved Highways.

One Of the strangest things in the
history Of the development Of this
country is that the people us a nation
waited until the last few years to real
ize what good roads mean to ciyiliza-
tion. They waited until after the great
era Of railroad building was long since
over and the United States had become
world leader industrially. 1t seems
that the economic value Of first class
highways ought to have been just as
apparent seventy.fye years ago as 1t Is
now, but nearly everything else In the
way Of providing general means Of
transportation was done before we be.
gan to consider the road problem in its
true significance. Despite the obvious
fact that the American people gr0pple
with only few vital problems at a
time, the long delay of the good roads
movement can hardly be explained
But the people are not destined to
travel In mud and rutS forever. The
bcated good roads movement has
started In earnest, ana there IS every
reason to believe that 1t will lie carried
on successfully until no European ma
ton can boast OF as good thorough.

rlors.
The campaign OF agitation, which be.
gan TO attract general attention two or
three years ago, has made marvellous
headway. Public opinion has been ar
fectcd in practically every county 10
the United States. More speeches have
been made and more printers ink con.
sumed in the discussion Of the road
problem In the last two years than in
any previous twenty-five years. Scores
of organizations, local and national
have been started for the purpose o!
| stimulating public sentiment and urg

commercial associations In towns and
cities have taken up the problem, and

contributed literally Of their money
for the furtherance Of the cause. Dis

A Nav Road Material.

A new road material designed to

being tried by a Swiss engineer. W.
Erich. and Is said to consist Of mix
ture Of broken stone about the size Of a
hazelnut. but not limestone. with
binding material whose composition Is
not dlyulged by the inventor. In the
present process the stone is heated at
first from 100 to 1JO degrees c. and
mixed Mt this temperature With the
melted composition. When in use the
mass is remelted In order TO put It on
the road. A road roller heated to q
rather high point is passed over the
surface. the roller weighing about six
tons. Reports state that very good
rnad surface can be obtained in this
way.

Of Agriculture recommends the follow

When the third leal has appeared on
the young shoots, spray with Bordeaux
mixture $3.50. II the season is wet
and warm, black rot is hard 10 control.
In the grape districts Of the north the
growers expect to spray four times al
intervals OF two weeks. Possibly two
or three applications will be sufficient
in Missouri, but much depends upon
whether the disease has been bad in
former years, and whether the dried
punches which died from the rot have
been removed from the vineyard
Careful annual pruning is great help
in controlling the rot, and other dis
eases and insect pests.
Spraying Outfit.
A barrel spraying outfit, fitted with
hose, nozzle, etc., mounted on wheels
in the form Of a push cart, may be had,
complete, for SIS or $50. A pump
alone, to be mounted on barrel at
home and hauled in wagon when
when spraying, will cost from Sl2 TO
$40. A barrel sprayer will handle
probably ten acres Of fruit trees or
vineyard. A bucket sprayer costing
$3.50 to So may be used for sraying a
dozen trees or less. The small hand
compressed air and knapsack outfits
costing from IS TO SIS are very good
for handling berry patches, nursery
stock, potatoes and small vineyards,
The working parts Of the pump should
be made OF brass, which is not cor,
roded By the spraying salts.

by writing to the Missouri College Of
Agriculture, Columbia, Mo.
