A. |. Spears Nearly Kills Man

as ''Highpocket" Smith, formerly a
member Of the police force, was run

ing east on Eighth street, had stopped
his automobile by the side of Fisch-
er's awaiting the signal from the traf
fic man. He received the signal to go
on. There was some delay in starting,
but when it did start the machine, a
powerful car, is said to have leaped
forward suddenly. Mr.. Smith, who
had stepped off the pavement going to-
ward the 10 Anderson corner, was

BIG LOSS BY POTATO INSECTS.

Unnecessary loss annually comes to
the potato crop, due to various insects
which attacks the vines. AS these In
sects belong to the group of chewing
insects, they can be readily controlled
by the application of arsenical poisons,
such as Paris Green and Arsenate OF
Lead. The latter is to be preferred,
for it sticks better and is of more con-
slant strength. 1t occurs both in pow.
der and paste form, and may be used
as dust or a liquid spray. 1t is a
good practice to add Arsenate of Lead
to the Bordeaux Mixture, when spray
ing potatoes, thus combining an insect
and a fungus killer. Among the in
sects of the potato, which will be con-
trolled by the above, are the Colorado
Potatoe Beetle, the old-fashioned Po-
tato BEETLE, known as Blister Beetles,
and the Flea BEETLES. The Potato
Stalk Borer, occasionally attacks vines,
doing it's injury to the inside of the
stalks This can best be controlled bv
burning the infested vines, after dig.
ging the potatoes.-G. NJ. Bentley, Ten
nessee Experiment Station.

Germans Deny Old Men and
Boys Fight in Their Army

WASHINGTON Nov. 12.-Reports
from France and Russia that many
old Germans and boys are appearing
in the ranks of the German army
were denied at the German embassy
today Letters from relatives to the
attaches of the embassy here de-
dred thousand volunteers in Germany
who have not been called to the
colors. In the family of one attache
alone II was stated that mot one of
FIVE strong men still in Germany
have been called to the 'front.'
Advices of a similar nature have
reached the state department from
American consuls there. They state
that, to an ordinary observer, there
is no outward indication in amy part
of Germany that it has a gigantic
army at the front. Business is re-
portd to be practically normal.

COPPER EMBARGO
HARDON JERSEY
10000 Men Face Lay-Off, un-
less Great Britain Per-
mits Shipments.
special to the Evening Star.


PERTH AMBOY, Nov. 12.-Unless
Great Britain lifts the embargo on
copper shipped from the United
States, nearly 10000 men employed by
the American Smelling and Refining
Company, the United States Metals
Refining Company. the Rarltan Cop
per Works and the smaller refiner-es
in this vicinity will be thrown out of
work. The local manufacturers and
reaners have al pealed to the Board
of Trade, and Hugh Lynch, tne
boards secretary, mus enlss ed the aid
of the Nationai Chamber OIL Commerce
and United States Senator William
Hughes and Congressman Thomas j.
Scully.
Yesterday they informed Secretary
of State Bryan of the conditions in
this city. Perth Amboy refines more
copper than any other city on the At
lantic coast. Most of this copper is
sent to Italy and not to the countries
at war.
Great Britain will seize every ship
load of copper as contraband, unless
Italy gives assurance that the metal
VII not be shipped to Germany and
her allies. The United States has
asked Great Britain for a definite re-
ply on this question. The state de-
partment at Washington has not
made known whether an answer has
been received.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE state
department has issued the following
statement:
The British ambassador In
formed the state department that
he has been advised by his gov
eminent that Italy prohibits the
export of copper, but does not pre-
vent it's transit over Italian terri
tory. The ambassador said that
in veiw of that fact the British
government would feel compelled
to detain copper shipments to
Italy, unless assured that they
were for domestic consumption or
were in transit to Switzerland.
