WAGE WAR ON THE LOCUST
Russian Authorities Take Energetic
Measures to Stamp Out Pests
That Do Much Harm.

A remarkably successful campaign
has recently been conducted by the
Russian government against locusts
in Turkestan, where formerly the in
habitants, for religious reasons, did
hardly anything to check the ravages
of these insects.
Turkestan supplies almost half the
cotton used in Russian mills, and
raises other valuable crops. AS re-
Gently as 1901, locusts caused an an
nual loss Of over $2,00O,OOO in this
region, and only primitive methods Of
dealing with them were in vogue.
The loss has now been reduced to
practically nothing.
The methods employed by the Rus
SLAMS include: Preparation in sum-
mer and autumn of forecast maps,
showing the position, age and dens-
ity of the egg centers of each dis
tfict; treatment of the infested areas
with paris green, or, better, molassed
sodium arsenite, as soon as the larvae
appear; scorching by knapsack ma
chine of larvae in places not acces-
sible to sprayers, devoid of vegeta-
tion, or far from water courses Of
sufficient capacity to keep the spray
ers going; capture of larvae in pits
or bitches.

Preuent ILLEGAL Votes.

Columbus Instruction and legal
blanks were sent today to all
the counties from which illegal regis
tration has been reported to the state
dry headquarters. These will be filed
out and filed with the judges of com
mon pleas court at once as a part of
the plan to prevent illegal voting.
Where this method does not succeed,
the dry workers have been instructed
to procure arrests, and, in case arrests
are not possible before election day, to
arrest at the polls any alleged Illegally
registered voter who attempts to ex-
ercise the fraaGhise.
At dry headquarters the amount of
illegal registration that has been dis
covered would not be disclosed. Those
in authority content themselves with
saying that every case reported will
be watched and every violation prose-
cuted.

Eating to Grow.

A certain Columbus newspaper man
is proud of the precocity of his five
year-old niece. AS typical of her men,
tai agility, he tells the following;
1--WE were visiting recently at my
brothers home. When dinner was
called the child politely but firmly
announced that she had no idea of
dining and would remain away from
the table.
"'Why, Mildred, you must eat three
full meals day If you are ever to
grow up and be lady remarked my
wife, who happens to be woman OF
substantial proportions.
Carefully surveying her gratuitous
adviser, the little miss said: 'Auntie
do you eat four meals a day? -

GREAT MEN AS PEDESTRIANS
Writers and others Of Worldwide
Fame Who Were Fond Of Long
Jaunts on Foot.

There have been some famous pc
destrians, with the emphasis on the
word famous. Charles Dickens was a
great walker. Twelve, fifteen, even
twenty miles q day were none too
much for Dickens swinging
his blackthorn stick, his little figure
sprang over the ground, and It took
Q practiced pair Of legs to keep along
side Of his voice He once did a
special feat OF turning out Of bed at
two, after q hard day, pedestrian and
otherwise, and walking thirty miles
into the country before breakfast.
Sir Walter Scott walked twenty or
thirty miles without fatigue, notwith-
standing his limp Browning, when
past seventy, could take long walks
without fatigue, and Wordsworth at
sixty did twenty miles a day. De
Quincy considered fourteen miles a
day necessary to his health, and Lamb,
notwithstanding his almost inmate
rial legs, could walk during all the
day Brahms was tireless pedes-
trian, and Beethoven always took MS
daily walk or run of five or more
miles in all manner Of weathers,
while Turner travelled twenty miles
day, sketching as he walked. Her
bert Spencer, at thirteen, in a fit OF
Inconsistencies, walked forty-eight
miles one day and forty-seven the
next; but was probably injured in so
doing. Tolstoi, at fifty-eight, walked
1870 miles in three days. Great men
are usually of powerful physique, and
many of US would suffer If we emu
lated their walking habits, but they
have not all been so vigorous. I'M
manuel Kant walked for at least an
hour every day, but doubtless Bacon or
Locke, Chopin or Weber, Spinoza or
Calvin, who were none of them in
good health, would have found a walk
of mile or two quite sufficient or
even too much."-St. Nicholas.

It is q miles from Colorado Springs
to the top of Pixies Peak by the new
road. The actual highway is II miles
in length from the point where 1t runs
into the Pixies Peak ocean-to-ocean
highway in Ute pass, at an elevation
of 7,415 feet, so that its total rise is
6,746 feet. The average grade is six
degrees with a maximum Of ten de-
grees, and there are only two places
where the grade does not rise.
Safety and Convenience.
The road bed is 20 feet wide and
this is increased to 26 feet on curves,
making 1t possible to be double
tracked all the way, with frequent
turnout" or stopping places provided
in case of tire or engine trouble. The
bridges, with concrete parapets, are
located on tangents, so they may be
seen at distance of 300 feet. They
are built of steel and concrete. Signs
conveying cautions have been erected
along the route. Six water stations
have been established at intervals of
three miles for cooling and retilling
purposes, and gasoline stations are To-
Gated at the roads terminals. Expert
repair men are always at hand for
duty and telegraph and telephone serv'
ices are installed, insuring communi-
cation along the entire trip.
The highway will be open to any
motor car, and automobile men
claim that any good driver will be
able to make the trip.
Undoubtedly the Pixies Peak high
way takes its place as the greatest
and highest in the world. Stelvio
pass, the highest carriage road in Eu
rope. in the Alps between Italy and
Austria, has never been opened to the
automobile. .
While there were many difficulties
the construction of this highway was
not hard task for the modern engi
neer. For part of the way from Cas-
cade it follows the general line of the
old carriage road built in 1888.
Scenery Is UnexceIled.
Every mile of the highway to the
summit is crowded with scenic inter
est. From Colorado Springs tn;
route goes through beautiful Manitol
and then into Ute pass, a 30-mile clef
in the mountain down which the Utt
Indians used to come to Manitol
to drink of the mineral waters there

Hoop Petticoats.

During the reign of Charles the
hoop petticoat was worn only by
wives of the lower gentry and by the
wives of the citizens. In the latter
part of the reign of Queen Anne it
rose again; this time in another form
that of an enormous hoop. This
grew to such immense proportions
that during the time of George / and
II, eight yards was considered the
proper width.
These hoops had outstanding steel
or whalebone foundations at the bot
tom of the skirt. In Elizabeth's time
this whalebone had been used at the
top, near the waist, enlarging the
hips for several feet. Addison ex-
pressed himself about the subject as
follows, through his Sir Roger de
Coverley:
my great-great-grandmother has
on new fashioned petticoat, except
that hers is gathered at the waist.
My grandmother appears as if she
stood in a large drum, whereas the
ladies now walk as if they were in a
go-cart."

FISHING SEASON A GOOD ONE
IeeIanders Have Reason to Congratu-
late Themselves on the "catches"
They Have Made.

The Icelandic fishing season has
been very good one this year, ac-
cording to the report Of the acting
British consul at Reykjavik. He says
that the fishing smacks have probably
never had such a good year, fine
weather and the undisturbed state Of
the banks favoring them. Motor boats
and rowing boats obtained average
results off the Westmann islands.
where fishing was very poor at the
beginning of the season. but improved
in April. At 1andgerdi, which is said
TO be becoming one of the largest fish
ing stations n.Iceland, the fishing was
carried out by about thirty large mo-
tor boats, and the results were proba-
bly, a record. The line and net fish
ing OF the south and southwest coast
was very fair and the fish of good
quality. The fishing in the western
fjords has been rather poor this year

third session, it granted the right-of-
way for an automobile road that would
traverse the Pike national forest and
wind it's way up the northern slopes
to the top of the peak. When the
government granted this right-of-way
through a national forest for toll
road it did an unprecedented thing.
But there were good and sufficient
reasons. It wass shown that such a
highway would be a big asset in de-
veloping the nations scenic wonders
and it is becoming Uncle Sans hobby
to advocate "See America First" and
to keep within this country some of
the millions of dollars that have been
going to other corners of the world.
The building of this highway was so
stupendous an undertaking and in
volved SO large q financial outlay that
it was certain it could not be under.
taken in many year unless by pri.
vate capital. And so the government
gave its consent and its cooperation
reserving the right to purchase tn !
road at any time at its actual cost
and imposing strict regulations with
reference to the usage, tolls and man

century ago Lieut. Zebulon
A Montgomery Pike discovered
the mountain which now
bears his name, end. accompanied
by his little band, made a de-
termined effort to each its summit.
1t cost him ten days of marching to
reach its base, and after a laborious
ascent which brought him only to the
crest of one of the nearby mountains,
he was forced to give up the attempt,
predicting in his diary that no human
would ever scale its rocky heights.

Amid a profusion of wild flowers,
through groves of pines and aspens,
the highway proceeds. Often, as the
motor climbs, it will be enveloped in
a fieecy cloud. Higher and higher the
car climbs, but the grade is SO easy
that one does not realize that he is at
the summit until he can see the world
about him, east, west, north and south.
Sixty thousand square miles of seem
ery-wild, massive, aweinspiring-can
be viewed from the seat of the motor
car. There below is Colorado Springs,
it's broad avenues and boulevards
cleaning in the sun. Far out into
