NEARLY FIVE INCHES
 OF RAIN IN MONTH
Observer Jennings Has No Re-
 cord of Snowfall During Oc-
 tober--Coldest Day Was 28fh

October was a month. of rain. Al though many will not realize that it was particularly wet, there having been 19 clear days during the 31, yet 4.9O inches of rain fell during that period, making an advance of .5s inch over the average on record for Octo- Der during the 42 years in his statis- tics. It is further interesting to note from the report. of eWather Observer
 William Jennings that on October 16, 3.27 inches fell during the A hours.
 Although commonly reported that snow fell during the month, none touched the delicate instruments used in recording the meteorological. condi- tions, though hail descended October I19 The maximum temperature recorded on the thermometers during the month was S2 degrees on October Il, with a minimum of 25 on October 28, with a mean variation of 59 degrees The greatest change occurred On October when the thermometer dropped 37 degrees in one day The most equable temperature was experienced on tn. 18th when there was variation of but three degrees.

Benjamin M. Rastall of Boston, not ed as a city pIanner and advocate of commission form of government, was the principal speaker at the ban quet of the Mems club of Olivet Con gregational church last night. MT
 Rastall said in his address that the city has been the greatest govern or and guide of present civilization and it has been the greatest cause for downfall of past civilizations. MT. Rastal1 said the same care should be taken in building a city that is taken. in building a house and good build
 ings, good streets and sanitation could not be had unless this was done. City parks he said paid for them
 selves within 15 or 20 years in the taxes brought by the enhanced value
 of the surrounding property.
 A committee consisting Of Charles Hatheway of South Congregati tiona1 church, J. V. Moore of the Park street Congregational church and Leete My CTS of the Olivet church were appoint ed to promote a league of Mems clubs in the churches for civic betterment. A civic betterment department has already been started at eOlivet church of which Compensation Co1nmissioner

 Many members of the Stock Ex- change say there are two serious ob- jections to the proposal for the tenn porary prohibition of short selling after business on the Stock Exchange is resumed. They say that if short sales were prohibited a sentiment against it would grow up, which would be difficult to ofercome, and that the vocation of the room trader would be destroyed, although his operations have been very useful ] in giving breadth z and volume to the market. Another objection is that the system of dealings in odd lots would be completely upset; and thus the investment purchases, which it would be very desirable to encourage as a means of absorbing foreign liquidation would be made almost inn possible at the time when the rparket had the greatest need of them.

NEW YORK EXPERT REVIEWS SITUATION IN FINANCIAL WORLD

(The Barron Financial News Service)
 New York. Nov. 6-For the second time within six years the Baltimore & Ohio last year paid it's six per cent common dividend largely out of ac- cumulated surplus. Both times this was done a result of a bad business year but in 1914 it was less a, matter of bad business than of 8 sharp rise in operating expenses. In 1908 gross business fell off 10.4 per cent; in 1914 4.16 per cent. But despite the greater general depression in 1908 the Baltin7 ore & Ohio's deficit after divi- dends in that year was only $1,O95.- 900. after reduction of only $464,0OO in maintenance charges from the high figures of the year before. In 1914 the deficit after dividends was $2,- 223,0OO, and that after reducing main tenance by $3, 900 from the xe- penditures of 1913, likewise a new high level

PAYS $3.5O A WEEK
 TO KEEP FOE IN JAIL

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Henry Kors is paying $3.50 a week to keep Victor Englert in the county jail, but Eng lert got out long enough yesterday to hear the argument on his application to be released on a habeasN corpus writ. This is the story of the case as told by Kors:
 "It gives me the greatest pleasure I have had in my life to pay Englert's board in jail. He took my wife away from me. I am divorced now. There was nothing I could do except go to law and I sued him for stealing my wife's affections.
 They gave. me 5000 verdict He refused to pay. He fought the suit to the supreme court and then lost again and I had him arrested and placed in jail. I'm paying for his keep there and I'll fight to keep him there"
 The habeaS corpus hearing was continued until Monday.

PINES ATTACKED BY NOW DANGEROUS
 EUROPEAN INSECT
Trees in Eastern States Injured and Department Recommends IInnned fate Treatment for Control.

Washin gbon, Nov. 6.-The U. s. Department of Agriculture is calling attention to the introduction and es- taI1liahment in America of the Euro pean pine shoot moth, which threat ems to cause serious loss This in- sect is a small orange-red moth, the larva of which holloWs out new buds and kills or inJures the ends of twigs of pine trees. This injury causes a deformity which is serious in orna- mental trees, and in trees grown for lumber makes a. crooked growth and a consequent waste when the tree is cut.
 In Europe the insect not only at injurious to American species culti- xated there. The Department states that the young larvae came into this country within the buds on imported pine seedlings which have come from France, England, Holland, Belgium or Germany. The deparment's in vestigators have discovered it in only ten localities, in six states from Mass achusetts to Pennsylvania but it is likely that it may be found in other localities It has not been found in any native trees in the forest, and with only one exception has always been on European pines in nurseries and private parks. There is no evil tence to indicate that it has been in this country more than year ex7 cept on Long Island, where IL mas eN- isted for more than two years
 There are several native pine shoot moths, but none of them inf1ict the serious injury of the European spe- cies-
 The Department hopes that the new pest may be stamped out before 1t Becomes too widespread to. be con trolIed. At present the problem of its elimination is confined mainly to nurseries, but if 1t once gets into the native pine forests the experts think that it would be beyond control In it's larval stage the moth is so effect lively protected in the buds and shoots that it can not be reached by any insecticide, and the only meth cd of getting rid of it is to prune out and destroy the shoots which contain the insect This should preferably be done duringsthe fall and winter. Though it is easier to locate the in- jured tips and shoots after growth has started in the spring. it is safer and better for the tree to have it done in the fall. Measures for control, to be effective, can not be accom- plished without the cooperative ac- tfon of all who grow plant Euro pean pines or deal in them.
 Further information in regard to the insect, may be obtained by ap- 'p1ication to the bureau of entomo1- ogy, Washington, D. C.
