THE TABLE CELERY which has
been coming into the market re.

THE TABLE JELERf winch mas
II been coming into the market re-
Gently shows distinct improve
ment over last year S in its eDnpara-
tive freedom from copper, according
to reports received by the United
States Department of Agriculture. Cop
per on celery is found in the form of
dried Bordeaux mixture (lime and cop.
per sulphatel which is used extensive
ly TO prevent the destruction of the
crop by blight. The use of salts of
copper in food products has been pro
nounced by the referee board injurious
to the health,( but on the other hand,
it has been found practically impossi-
BILE to bring celery to market in good
condition unless the plants have been
sprayed at certain periods of growth
with Bordeaux mixture.
10 meet this difficulty the Depart
ment of Agriculture issued warning
to growers last year, prescribing the
method of spraying and urging house
wives to be particularly careful in wash
ing all celery before using it. The
effect of this warning is now becom-
ing apparent, for the celery is reach
ing the market in better condition than
in the past.
In investigating the question the de-
-partment discovered that the presence
Of copper was due to faulty spraying
apparatus, usually the employment of
knapsack sprayers instead of power
outfits. These do not operate at a suf-
ficiently high pressure to make fine
spray or mist. AS a result the Bor-
doaux mixture is applied in a num-
ber Of fine streams and these, instead
of merely settling on the leaves, as a
mist would do, run down between the
stalks. Thus the mixture accumulates
at the base of the plant and is not
washed out by the rain. This some
times gives blue green appearance to

Danger From Copper in Celery Less

the celery, which many people imagine
to be due to Paris green; as matter of
fact the green tint is that of cop
per stained lime.
When spraying is done properly an
efficient apparatus is used, working un-
der high pressure-a hundred pounds or
more Spraying is stopped when the
leaves are covered with fine drops and
before these begin to run down the
stalks and accumulate at the base Of
the plant. The leaves, it is pointed
out, should not be eaten under any cir
cumstances. r@
However careful the grocer may be
in his spraying, the consumer must also
do his part. The punches of celery
should be broken open and the stalks
washed and scrubbed thoroughly be-
fore they are eaten. This, chemical
analysis shows, will remove nearly all
of the copper found in dried Bordeaux
mixture from the stalks and eliminate
danger Of any bad effects to the con-
sumer.

ksOR ages past humanity has endured.
the annoyance Of mosquitoes, and
according as their numbers were
great or small they have been consid- !
cred merely as necessary nuisance
prevalent at certain seasons of the year,
or when in considerable numbers, as a
serious pest, both to man and animals
The Northwest is fairly free from mos
quito plaques. In limited areas at GER
train periods of the year, however, this
obnoxious little offender, with it's
plaintive song and irritating bite, be-
comes serious nuisance,
Our more prevalent species of mos.
quitoes breed in bodies of staguant wa
ter The little active 'wriggIers" so
common in watering troughs and stor
age tanks are mosquitoes in the max
ing.
Control Measures.
Control Measuras-Where storage
tanks of any sort are necessary they
should be carefully screened. Tin cans,
bottles and pans about the yar., N
which water might collect, should be
removed. The elogged roof gutter. the
Old disuscd WELL or the sewer cstcl, On
the corner should receive attention /
All stagnant pools or low moist places
should be drained or filled in.
Fish may sometimes be introduced
into ishless pools or open clsterns. Top
minnows, sunfish or sticllle backs are
very good. Gold fish feed voraclo.siy
on nlosquito larvae.
The Use of Oil-Wbere the abolition
of the breeding place is not possible
and the introtuct of fish is not feas-
ible, very often oil mGy be used to aR
advauttge This is applied to the wa
ter as a thin surface t.lm. A low grade
of kerosene is best. The heavier oils,
such as crude oil, are worthless, because
they collect IN blotches on the surface.
and do not iorm thin, even coating.
One ounce of oil is sufficient for fiji
teen square feet of surface 1t is best
applied as spray. One application isi
usually good for two weeks or more,
but should be renewed whenever the
film of oil fails to cover the surface.

Mclaughlin Handles Hun dreds of Horses, But Ford
 Gar Is Beyond Him


 Ford touring car in which John A Mclaughlin, superintendent of horses for the Barnum & Bailey circus was riding last night, crashed through the fence in front of the home of Richard Howell, editor of the Bridge port Herald. According to the chauf- feur who was driving the steering gear on the car broke as he attempted to turn Hard's corner in front of Mir Howe1Fs home.
 MT. Howell on returning home at $40 last night found the car standing on his front lawn with all lights burn ing but no one who might claim it iIl sight. About 10 o'clock an emergency car came from the Blue Ribbon garage and took away the Ford car for re- pairs. Neither MT Mclaughlin nor his chauffeur was injured. Little damage was done the car but a num- Der of pickets were knocked from the fence.
 MT. Mclaughlin handles about 500 horses each season he is with the show and has yet to have any trouble with them. He is not as fortunate while riding in automobiles.

WEAKNESS SHOWN
 IN MARKETS CLOSE

New York. March 21-Opening-At the opening today the market lacked the buoyant strength of yesterday 8 late session but prices held firm. The volume of trading was small and fluctuations on first transactions were only nominal Railroad shares were again in demand, with the best inquiry for low priced issues such as Erie, Southern and Missouri Pacific.
 The supply of stocks around yester- days closing prices was seant and execution of buying orders gradually pulled up the list. Canadian Pacific, Reading, New Haven, Central Leather and American Tobacco rose about a point.
 CIose-The market closed heavy. Speculative buying forced prices high CT temporarily today but the market reIinquished its gain before the end of the day and last figures showed de- clines among the favorite stocks.
 During the progress of the rise some of the low priced railroad and indus trial shares were taken freely, touch ing the best figures of a long time. The coa1ers and eastern trunk line is- sues were again foremost ip7 the ad- vance.
 Higher prices induced selling by traders who did not wish to carry stocks over the weekend and bears put out new lines as the market weak ened The decline was hastened by a

 PROTEST AGAINST ORDER.
 It was impossible to obtain con frmation of the report that the War Office actually sent a kind of ultima tum to the Curagh regiments, but it appears certain that some officers re- signed as a protest against being or dered to Ulster.
 The regiments involved at Curragh are cavalry regiments with famous records, namely the Fourth Hussars, with "Ba1a.klava'. inscribed on their standard; the Fifth Lancers, who de- fended Ladysnith. and the Sixteenth Iancers, whose records include the battle of Waterloo.

 11O, ,0O0 VOLUNTEERS ENROLLED.
 Colonel Dacort says the 1 10.0 .00O men enrolled are in the flower of their age and of excellent physique. Decentra1- ization has been the system of organ ization. Each county forms separate unit. There are sixty-five battalions, of which there are eighteen in Bel fast.
 The volunteers have four hundred automobiles, two hundred motor cycles and a complete system of com. munication by flags, lamps and helio-. graphs. Eighty thousand rifles, ac- cording to Colonel Dacort, have been distributed in parcels, each containing five, to selected men, so that whole sale seizure of the weapons would be impossible
 MT. Nevinson estimates that be- tween sixty thousand and eighty thou sand men would respond to a call for the mobilization of the volunteers. He thinks the rifles of the volunteers obsolete and of several different pat teris, and that ammunition is scarce.
 .In scattered groups, continued MT. Nevinson, they would try to harass the regular army sent to occupy the country. The movement, there fore, is not a bluff proper. Neither is it formidable, from a~military point of view. The intention is serious, though fantastic, and it is formidable because no one wants to shoot his own people"

MERCHANTS WILL
 HEAR ADDRESS ON
 DANGERS OF FIRE

Carrying out it's program to impress on members the necessity for fire pro- association has arranged for an ad-. dress by Franklin H. wentworth, the expert of the Fire Protective associa- ton of Boston. The address will be given Thursday evening, March 26, in a large halIs probably Colonial hall, all though the place for the address has not yet been decided
 Besides members and friends of the Business Mems association, members of the board of aldermen, the board Of trade and the Manufacturers asso- citation are Invited. It is proposed to have motion picture films of a mum Der of big fires shown in conjunction with the lecture and also films il1ustrat- ing the methods used in other cities to lessen the danger from fire.
 A photograph which D. FsairchiId Wheeler, president of the Bridgeport cellar of the Crescent Motion Picture theater in Main street, after the com pany had bought the property and was tearing down. the building, is said to show one of the many dangers of fire existing in Bridgeport The cellar of the structure which is a Iwo-story and a half wooden building, was fll- ed to within a foot of the top with empty barrels. boxes, waste paper, ex- celsfor and inf1annable waste of all de- scription- Within few inches of this waste material the heavily charg- ed electric wires which carried the electric current used in the operation Of the picture theater were swung.
 Several members of the Business Mems association favor a city or dinance which will provide that one fireman from each fire company be detailed each day to inspect and re- port on the condition of stores and other places of business throughout the city.
 The business men who favor the plan claim that these details would in no way impair the efficiency of the fire companies as the firemen so detailed could respond to any alarm that was sounded while they were on that duty.
 MT Wentworth recently addressed the members Of the Bridgeport Fire Underwriters' association and made such favorable impression that the Business Men decided to Invite him to speak at a. public meeting.
