However, there is every reason to be
heve that it may be used on the more
tender varieties with much less dan

ture. 1t is probable that the com
bined use of the two would yield the
more satisfactory results. That is, for

RUSSETING OR SPRAY
INJURY OF FRI
By w. j. MOORE.

Bordeaux mixture, some of the pre-
pared brands of lime sulphur, and to
less extent, home-cooked and self
boiled lime sulphur spray, may pro-
duce a russeting of apples. Expert
ence at the Maine station has shown
that bordeaux mixture is more likely
to produce spray injury than most Of
the lime sulphur sprays now on the
market.
Bordeaux injury first appears as
small, regular, black or brown spots
scattered over the apple, but more
frequently on those parts which re-
ceiyed the most spray These spots
differ from those caused by the apple
scab fungus in that they are more
regular and are not Sunken. AS the
apple grows these spots are replac
by russeted blotches. In severe cases
the fruit may become distorted, irreg
ular and sometimes cracked.
Much of the injury from bordeaux
may be avoided if proper attention is
given certain factors which have more
or less to do with its occurrence. Too
strong bordeaux should not be applied
a $3.50 mixture is recommended.

DELAYS ACTION ON
BATHHOUSE FUND
Playground Board to Await
Plans Before Seeking Addi-
tionaI Appropriation.

Whether or not the Playground
Commission will ask the finance COM
mittee for an additional appropria-
ton of $40 900 for the East Side bath
house and playground will be decided
after the architect has completed the
plans for the building. The COM
mittee has already appropriated $685.
900 for this work. The property Sc
lected will cost $4,000. IT Is at Ham
burg place and Paterson street.
A committee from Ironbound I'm
provement Association waited on the
commission last night. The commit
tee expressed the associations ap-
proval of the site selected but
thought that 5000 was not enough
to build a suitable bathhouse. Com
missioner Albert H. Biertuempfel as
spokesman suggested that a new ap-
preparation be secured to purchase
the property, thous leaving the
amount of the original appropriation
intact for the building expense.
This ordinance also provides for the
closing of Ridgedale avenue. This
question, however, is one taht will be
presented to the voters on April 4.
The proposition to be submitted to
the people will also include whether
or not they want elevation. This
question was thought to have been
settled long ago. 1t was thought that
a proper division of expense and
taking care of the borough's interests
in the matter was the anly issue in
yolved
A clearance Of twelve and one-half
feet will be had at all the streets ex-
cept Prospect street, which will have
clearance of thirteen feet five
inches. Many think that this is not
enough clearance on all the streets.
The largest cuts to the beds of the
streets will be necessitated at Pros
pect street, five feet; Madison avenue,
seven feet, and Elm street, seventeen
fet. The park bridge will be raised
a sufficient clearance at its present
situation
A heaering on all these questions
will be held next Wednesday evening
1t is not yet known whether or not
il will be in James Hall, as the tuber-
culosis exhibit will be in session.

PASSA|C RIVER
FLOOD FEARED
Especial to the Evening star. !

PATTERSON, March 2S.-The Passaic
river is stealily rising, duo to the
sudden warmth of the weather, and
ii is feared that if today brings much
rain, as the weather predictions fore
cast the flooding of certain low Sec
tions along the riverside will be
threatened. A big change in the river
was noticeable today, as compared
with the heighth it had reached yes
terday afternoon.
There will not be any real danger,
unless it rains heavily for more than
day. Two places are used as
sights by pedestrians over the West
street bridge One is the bridge con-
Meeting the Island market with River
street and the other is the posts at
the Bromhead mill, alongside the
West street bridge.
The water is now only about three
feet from the Island bridge, which is
approximately the heighth that the
river rose yesterday. The posts
alongside the mill are now almost
covered, whereas early yesterday aft
ernoon they were extending almost
four feet above the water.
= retaining wall was built under the
bake shop just the other side of the
Main street bridge, and the river has
now almost REACHED the top OF this

the repeal of the free tolls provision

by the supporters of President VIII
son by q vote OF 2O8 to III, members
of the House, who have been assigned

mitigating the American policy of
treating all nations alike with respect

President to suspend tolls on ships
passing through the canal whenever
in his opinion, public safety shall so
require or whenever he shall deem il
expedient and consistent with the IN
terests of the United States, or with
the best welfare of the citizens of the

University crew today won easily
from oxford in the annual eight
on the Thames.
The distance, four and one-quarter
miles, was covered in the fast time
of 20 minutes 23 seconds. Cambridge
crossed the line four and one-half
lengths in the lead.
The Cambridge crew had been the
favorite throughout the training sea-
son, and justified the predictions that
it would win by making the race a
procession from start to finish.
Cambridge won the toss for position
and chose the Surrey side of the
river, thus obtaining the advantage of
shelter from the light wind that was
blowing.
The oars of the Oxford crew were
the first to grip the water. but the
longer stroke of the light blues i'm
mediately gave them the lead. After
this there was no doubt as to the re-
suit of the race.
When the crews shot through Ham

Cambridge had a clear lead of two
