POPE AGAINST BIGOTRY.
By Alice Rhoe.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, Aug, 27.-(By Mail)-
All Rome, not only the Vatican cir
cles but various shades of the White
and Black party--is discussing Pope
Benedict XV's latest decisive step
against bigotry or more politely ultra
conservatism.
AS result, an eminent cardinal
has been scheduled for promotion to
the position of chancelliere, quite in
accordance with the Vatican political
proverb, Let him be promoted so he
can be cleared out of the way"
At any rate, Cardinal Cagiano de
Azevedo credited with being one of
the most illiberal members of the
sacred college will be no more heard
in the congregation of clerics and
regulars. For his insistence that the
clerics and all connected with the
Vatican should not read newspapers
issued by the Roman Publishing So
ciety has brought him in direct OPP
position to Pope Benedict XIV. The
order that no clerics should read even
the Corriere D'Italia, Rome's semi
official clerical paper, and that other
daily newspapers published in var
ious Italian cities and of such black
complexion that their clerical SYM
pathies were above question, caused
Pope Benedict to take a hand IN the
matter. Cardinal de AZevedo even
though cognizant of the pope's liber-
al ideas and his desire that news
papers be permitted the clergy fell
back upon the technical authority
invested in his office and gave forth
the defiant order. Thereupon the
pope whose first step upon ascend
ing the papel throne was to bring into
accord the two elements of modernity
and illiberalism-graciously slated
the cardinal for promotion to the
position of cancelliere. This act fol-
lowed an open one of the cardinal
who several days ago Issued circular
in which he prohibited the reading of
the Roman morning newspapers, de-
nouncing especially one morning
Catholic paper He even condemned
one which the pope had approved.
The incident has naturally given
rise to much comment among anti
clericals who see in it an outbreak
of certain dissentions existing in the
Vatican F,pe Benedict XIV, however,
rather gives forth the impression that
such .iIssenslon if existent will quick
ly disappear.
1t was Pope Plus x who first per-
mitted the order against newspapers
to go forth limiting, as would Cor
dinal de Azevedo, all clerics to the
Osscrvatorc Romano. Naturally a
law so narrow as to prohibit cler.cs
from reading daily journals was one
with which he had little sympathy
His idea, is that the Catholic press
should become a great instrument
for the good of the church and he
sees no way Of accomplishing this
by putting ban upon it in favor Of
one official evening organ

BURNING STUMBLE
is BAD PRACTICE
Destroys Organic Matter and
Plant Food of Much Value
Control of HeSSian Fly.

CBy L z. CALL, Kansas Experiment Sta
tionl
Don't burn your wheat stubble or
straw stacks this summer for the pur-
pose of destroying the Hessian fy-
The burning OF the stubble or wheat
straw in the stacks not only fails to
destroy the fly, but will lead TO the de-
struction OF organic matter and plant
food worth millions Of dollars
The Hessian fly would not be eradi-
Gated by burning, because the ny
passes its resting stage in the sum
mer not only in the straw and stubbie
above ground but also in the crown of
the plant so low that it could not be
destroyed by burning The parasite
which preys upon the Hessian fly
passes the summer in the fly located
in the straw and the stubble above the
ground. If the wheat fields are
burned the parasite preying on the
Hessian fly viii be killed
There is no danger of increasing the
injury from the Hessian fly by spread
ing straw as a top dressing upon the
field The top dressing Of straw upon
the field does not furnish winter pro-
lection to the fly Wheat which has
been infested with the jointworm and
the greater wheat strawworm in large
numbers should not be spread On the
field. These insects make their pres
ence known by the large number OF
white heads in the field II there was

wheat in your field 90 not spread the
straw on the field This infested straw,
however. may be used as a top dress

worked into the ground early in the
spring.
The best method Of controlling the
Hessian fy is TO prevent the growth
OF volunteer wheat in summer and fall
and to delay the seeding of the wheat
until most Of the flies have deposited
their eggs The best method Of han

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in sslee-
ton of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tails.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veeneFed doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt single which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
~ SuppldQLlnS the WOOuSn dTIlCAC.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate Of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying a slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
teed by reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are SO many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly,

No outfit is quite complete in these
days without a sweater of some sort
And there is a wide and varied choice
in sweaters, fer they ar claiming more
attention than ever before in their
history
There are finely woven sweaters Of
silk, in gay colors, which one sees at
the afternoon concert, at the country
club, on the beaches and the golf
links, and in any other outdoor meet
ings of fashionables. There are sweat
ers considerably like them, made of
artificial silk, usually in more vivid
colorings than the all-siIk variety
Then there are the practical wool
sweaters, similar to that shown in the
picture, and belonging to the same
class.
The new models are carefully de-
signed to the end that they may en-
body just the right style. In the ex-
ample pictured here. for instance, it
will be noticed that the sleeves are
well shaped and finished with cuff

and button. The patch pockets leave
turnover flap, and the new order of
things in belts is recognized The col
lar may be turned up close about the
neck if required.
Because this is a sweater for real
comfort in cool days it is rather heavy
Its usefulness begins with fall, and
continues to the coming Of another
summer, for it reinforces the too light
wrap in the depths OF winter 1t is
an excellent model to choose for the
young girl to wear to school during
the autumn months, and nothing could
be better designed or arranged for
sports wear.
Sweaters of wool stand the rough
handling which they are likely to get
from young people, and continue to
look none the worse for it. Now that
they are made in beautiful colors and
with so much attention to style, the
field of their usefulness is wonderfully
increased.

EXPERIMENTS WITH

pounds Of milk IL was found that in
general the calves suffered 10 dele
terious effects from the pTeservative,
and as compared with calves fed sweet
milk or sour milk, made slightly
greater gains at somewhat lower cost
From records kept OF the after devel-
opment Of these calves it was found
that those which had been fed the
preserved milk continued TO make the
cheapest gains, followed by the sweet
milk fed calves and the sour milk fed
calves
For the entire experiment the calves
fed sweet milk made q total gain Of

the selection and storing OF seed
There is only one proper time Of
selecting seed, and that is in the
field, preferably in October Howev-
er, if you failed to select your seed
at that. time, it viii be a great deal
better to select it while husking than
to wait until after corn is stored in
the crib.
Seed corn should be well dried as
early after husking as possible When
stored in a crib it does not usually
have opportunity to dry well, and con-
seQuently is more subject to injury
by molds and decay than well-dried
corn. For this reason, if for no other,
get your seed corn before II gets IN
the crib, and put II in a place where
the air can circulate freely around
each ear and drive out the excess of
moisture.
Corn may be stored in a number OF
different ways, any one OF which may
