LOOK FOR ARMY WORM MOTHS.
u. S. Department of Agriculture Re-
quests the Public's Assistance in
Determining the Habits of
Troublesome Pest.

Everyone interested in the destruction
of the army worm pest is being request
ed by the L. S. department OF agricul-
ture to look out for army-worm moths
with one artifcially colored wing. The
departments entomologists are catching
army-worm moths where they are plen.
tiful, coloring one wing of each, and
then liberating them IN the same ter.
ritory, so that they may determine
whether these moths fly directly west,
or north and how quickly and how far
they win spread. A better knowledge
OF the habits Of this pest should enable
the department to control its spread No
moths are to be let loose where their
liberation could possibly add to the
natural damage.
The moths are already showing them
selves in Virginia and in Maryland, and
the departments agents are catching
specimens at Portsmouth and Charlottes-
vile in Virginia. and Hagerstown in
MARYLAND. The agents at Portsmouth
are applying red stain to one wing OF
each specimen caught; those at Char
lottesvile a black or yellow stain; and
those at Hagerstown, violet color.
Then the moths are left to follow the
natural course they would have pursued.
Look for the army worm moth with
a colored wing during the coming
month" the departments bureau of en-
tomology is advising its agents west of
the Mississippi. ANY one observing a
marked specimen will aid in the cam
paign by reporting the fact to the
bureau of entomology, Washington,
D. G. When its presence has been noted,
the moth should be destroyed
How to Recognize the Moth.
The wings of the army-worm moth,
when outspread, measure about y in
ches from tip to tip. The body is about
half this length. The general shape of
the moth with its wings outspread is
triangular. The moths will hover about
the lights in the evening. On farms,
they will be found on the outside of
screens and doors at night, They will
proba blv not be observed in the daytime.
On dark, hot, close nights, such as pre-
cede thunder storms, they will probably
be especially noticeable.
The army-worm pest has caused con-
siderable damage to the crops and
lawns this summer throughout the
northern United States east of the
Mississippi. The worms are only now
disappearing in northern Maine and
Michigan, which were probably Matched
from the eggs of moths migrating from
more southern portions OF the country.
With the additional knowledge that this
experiment will give, the department
hopes to control the spread of the pest
more completely in coming years.

WATSON sALUTES AMERICA.
"Great, Majestic Nation. Great Is
Calm" He Sings.

London, Aug. PA poem entitled ITO
the United States" by William Watson,
is published in The Post. 1t follows:
Great, O majestic nation, great is calm;
Great when old bounds dissolve, to
tower apart.
There beyond Europe's throes and with
heart
At peace from northern pine to southern
palm
Rolling to heaven, nor be as they who
start
At mutter of far cannon and when the
mart
Rocks to and fro delirious, great is calm.
But when a despot swollen with the de-
sire
Of boundless sway forbears not to un.
cage
Wars wolves on shieldess youth and
guardless age,
Greater, nation, greater then is ire.
DoiF then thy placid mien, unleash thy
rage
And scar and blast him with thy lips Of
fire.

ceived the idea of bringing to this COM
munitv a recognized authority in the
scientific cookery of the world. Miss
Hanko is trained cook as well as an
experienced one. She is also popular
lecturer and her popularity Is largely
due to the fact tina. her methods are
new but none the less practical. BY the
use OF the old time hapha Yard guessing
methods the best cooks sometimes fail
! in the preparation of even their favorite
dish. They are learning that through
the adoption of accurate methods and
standard measurements success is always
assured.
Most women who cook know some-
thing of the disappointment of going to
all the trouble of preparing a particular
Nv famous dish and having the result
not nearly so fine as they intended it
should he In her course OF lectures IN
Rowland hall next week Miss Hanko
will tell how TO raduee the chance OF
such disappointments to the minimum.
She will give directions and suggest
methods that will enable the ladies who
make up her classes sure of success at
all times. whether they be trained cooks
or amateurs
Will Tell How and What to Buy.
Miss Hanko viii not only explain and
demonstrate how best to prepare foods
but will also tell which foods are tho
hest and how to buy them most advan-'
tageously. She will suggest many eco
nomical twists and turns that will please
the average housewife who must pro
vide three meals a day on a modest in
come. She viii suggest how to eeono-
mize in time, strength and nerve force,
as well as money She viii tel the more
burdened housewife how to arrange her
household affairs in such a manner that
she may be able TO devote a part Of each
dav to rest. recreation and study. She
will present the whole matter of house
keeping and cooking as n pleasurable oc-
cupation requiring a considerable amount
Of gray matter for its proper and prof
table execution She will utterly ex
plode the old time theory that house
work il d drudgery 70 be performed al
the expense of large amount OF physi-
cal force but without the exercise OF
much mental power. She will show
quite conelusively that the most efficient
housekeepers are those who run their
home on business-like basis and &C.
cording to intelligent and wellthought
out plans Miss Hanko will show the
advantage of labor-saving devices and
out Of her broad experience and her
large fund Of information viii tell which
OF these mueh-advertised labor-saving

COUNTING IN FRENCH.
Sounds Queer When You Jump From
Sixty nine to Sixty ten.


Ii is usually assumed among civilized
nations that they all count alike and
that they use the decimal system. In
a general way this Is quite true. And
yet the French have a very peculiar
way OF counting. which seems to have
been devised by some one obsessed
with the idea OF the circle or at least
Of segment OF the circle.
Instead Of making 100 the basis Of
the removal OF the digit TO the third
place, that individual stopped counting
at 60 and then devised two quite cum
bersome methods Of getting up to 100.
The French, like the rest OF us, count
up to 90 In a normal and healthy man
ner. Then when the next step Is to be
taken they say sixty ten" and SO on.
Seventythree Is sixty y-thirteen:" sew.
enty-nine is "sixty-nineteen." When
the genius who devised French count
ing reached this number he seems to
have been puzzled for moment how
to go on. But with true Gallo inge-
nuity he made bold leap and called
eighty ''four-twenties."
Thus eighty-one become "four-twsn.
ties-one." and so on. Eighty-nine Is
"four-twenties-n Here one would
expect him to strike another snag.
But he liked his solution OF seventy so
well-in fact he had grown 80 enam-
ored Of it-that he tried II again. and
ninety becomes "four-twenties- ten"
Ninety three Is figured out TO be -four
twenties-thirteen." and when Victor
Hugo was compelled to head his cele-
brated biographical novel "Quatre-
Vingt tTreize"-that Is TO say. -four
ies-thirteen"-h must have shud-
dered over the entire area Of his sub
conscious sensibilities. Yet he may
not.
The French and even good students
OF other nationalities who have ac-
quired a French which Frenchman
can listen TO without gritting his teeth
do not seem to be worried at all by
this peculiar French habit, which II 1t
were not impelled by courtesy to call
"Gallicism'' we would certainly call
"barbarism. ROCKY Mountain News.
