the improvements in charge is planning
to start work the latter part of the
summer on beautifying the grounds So
that they will be completed before an
other summer comes.
The members of the club state that
when improvements are completed the
Corinthians will have as pretty a club
house and grounds as has any boat club
in this section of the country. There is
said to be a quiet movement in progress
to have all the boat and yacht clubs To-

ISSUES RESTRAINING ORDER
Court Acts Against Lord Baltimore
Country Club.
,ecial Correspondents of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
RIvERDALE, Nd. July 16.-Judge
Fillmore Beall Of the circuit court of
Prince Georges county has issued a tenn
porary restraining order against the Lord
Baltimore Country Club to show cause
why the application of certain citizens of
this place for an injunction to prohibit
the sale Of intoxicating liquors at the
club. located In the Calvert mansion,
should not be made permanent.
The applicants for the injunction claim
that there is a covenant in the deed under
which the Calvert mansion property is
held which prohibits the sale of liquor on
the premises.
The board of liquor license commission
ers recently granted the club a license to
sell intoxicants, and it is claimed for the
club that it is not proposed to run a bar,
but simply to furnish club members Ii
quors with their meals.

Alas, l am weary of swatting,
the effort seems useless and stale
for weeks I've been painfully
trotting around after flies, on
their trail: I've doped them with
acid carbolic, I've slugged them
and caught them with trap, and
still on my forehead they frolic,
when / lay me down for nap.
I hate the pestiferous friskers,
which tickle my scalp with their
toes; they're building their nests
in my whiskers, they're picnick-

me all kinds of diseases. by carry
ing germs to and fro: l pause
here for seventeen sneezes-I've
got the pneumonia, I know. I'm
strong for those able physicians
who tell us, keep swatting, you
guys, if you would improve the
conditions, and drive from our
country the fies!' And yet l am
weary of swatting. I've thrown
all my weapons away; I'm weary
Of tirelessly potting the germ
bearers, day after day. Because,
in the midst of my labors, 1
glanced from my ancestral hall
and saw that my indolent neigh
bors were doing no swatting at
all. Unless we all labor, united,
to chase every fly out of view, the

BRYAN IN COMMONER OUT
STRONGLY FOR SUFFRAGE
Says he Would Ask for No Political
Rights That He Would Not
Grant His Wife.

Suffrage workers in Washington are
enthusiastic over the encouragement CIV
en- their cause" by Secretary Bryan,
who. in his Commoner. has come out
strongly in an editorial for equal suffrage.
He asserts that he would ask for no
political rights that he would not grant
his wife. He says he finds objections to
granting the franchise to women are not
well founded, and arguments in favor Of
it are convincing.
AS the question Of equal suffrage comes
up for referendum vote in the November
elections in Nebraska, suffrage workers
be Of great assistance to their campaign.
His editorial in the Commoner says, in
part:
Must Work Out Destinies Together.
Il shall ask no political rights for my
self that 1 am not willing to grant to my
wife. AS man and woman are co-tenants
Of the earth and must work out their
destinies together, the presumption is on
the side of that equality treatment which
pertains to their joint life and its oppor-
tunities.
THE burden of proof is on those who
in determining the conditions under which
each shall live. This claim has not been
established in the matter of suffrage. On
the contrary, the objections raised to
woman suffrage appear to me to be in
valid, while the arguments advanced in
support Of the proposition are in my
judgment. convincing

For small areas like lawns and pri-

the poison bait mentioned may be used.
Equally efficient is the application of a
spray of one pound arsenate of lead dis
solved in twenty-five gallons of water.
If the powdered arsenate of lead is more
easily obtainable. one pound of this may
be mixed with eight pounds of flour and

Under this slogan Washington society

has as its object the raising Of sufficient
funds to keep Camps Goodwill and Pleas

Grafton during the remainder Of the sum-
mer.
Today and tomorrow have been desig
mated summer outings days, and every
body who is down town will discover the
fact from the displays in the shop win

and banks.
Mrs. Juliette V. Harring, who has d.
rected similar campaigns for the summer
outings committee. Is again in charge of
the work and has as her lieutenants a
large number of young women, who are
in command at the different booths.
$500 Is Needed.
Unusual rivalry is expected to mark
the efforts Of those assigned to the
stands. as the committee needs 81, 500 to
carry on its work and it is hoped that
this amount can be raised during the
two days.
The workers yesterday visited the
camps. in order that they might be able
to explain to inquirers just what is being
done at these outings points for The tired
boys and girls. mothers and sick babies
Of the city.
Reports from the committee are to the
effect that money is greatly needed to
finance its work to the end of the sea-
son. There are now 252 persons at the
three camps. distributed as follows:
Goodwill. 100; Pleasant. 80, and Baby
Hospital. IL. It is hoped that 1000
mothers and children can be sent out for
a two-week stay each before the end of
plans contemplated depends largely upon
the extent of the contributions made to-
day and tomorrow.
Another Way to Give.
Citizens who do not chance to be near
one Of the booths, but who are in SYM
pathy with the child-savfng work are re-
quested to send contributions direct to
the summer outings committee, 923 H

this year than ever before.
Not only are the camps healthful but
they are well policed and the manage

Of THE ARMY WORM
Federal Bureau Describes Pest and
Suggests Means for De-
struction.

Following a general outbreak of the
army worm throughout the north. east
of the Rocky mountains, great numbers
of these moths have been noticed in the
vicinity of Washington the past month
and even in the city itself Hundreds of
their broken wings have been seen near
Union station, and Sunday many Of them
covered the sidewalks on 10th street
northwest. Many lawns are being over
run by the pests.
In answer to inquiries the Department
of Agriculture gives the following advice:
1.-The army worm,' says the Office Of
information. lis a smooth. striped cater
pillar about an inch and a quarter long
and a quarter of an inch in diameter.
1t is rather dark in appearance. While
normally it feeds by night and hides by
day, not being generally noticed, as soon
as it has increased to such a number
that it's food supply falls short, it starts
to travel and. becoming bolder. feeds
both night and day.
THE moth from which this worm
matches is brown. with a white spot on
the center of each fore wing. 1t meas
ures about an inch and one-half from
wing to wing.
To Stay Progress in Fields.
IF the worms have not yet attacked a
field the most practical way to keep
them out is to plow burrows in front OF
them. throwing the furrow in the direc-
ton toward which they are travelling.
The worms will fall into the furrow and
when this is full they may be killed
either by dragging log back and forth In
tho f,rr-- or nv DESTROYING the worms
in holes previously dug at intervals OF
twenty feet il the bottom Of the furrow
Kerosene poured on them in the holes
will destroy them.
Prompt action to prevent the worms
from infesting field is much better than
later efforts to attempt to kill them in
the grain. Once the caterpillars have In
tested a field. the measures necessary to
destroy them may seriously hurt or even

..Clean cultivation. rotation Of crops
