and bright yellow. these with black
and white being the colors of the new
Chinese flag.
Flag in hand, the suffragists go out
into the highways and byways with
their message of equal political rights
and responsibilities for men and wo-
men. First Glass;" said a smiling
faced, prosperous looking Chinaman in
well cut American clothes as he greet
ed the suffrage banner. First class, l
believe in that" he repeated, and other
Cinnamon smilingly nodded assent.
AS the banner moves on pleased mods
and bows greet it's progress. Into a
dark doorway and up the stairs marches
Miss Dock, holding her suffrage ban
ner before her. "Our nurses come here
often to look after the children" she
explains.
Through a crowded kitchen and into
a room in the front of the house she
marched. MAY We come IMP asked
Miss Dock. A cultural sound signified
assent. A young woman with a much
embroidered and solemn faced baby
looking like an infant mandarin sat at
one end of table between the win
dows. At the other window sat an
older woman sewing. Both women
wore native costumes. Neither could
speak English. The younger woman
went out of the room and soon return
ed, bringing her sister, girl of fifteen,
who goes to high school. She listened
to Miss Dock a moment and then
smile broke out all over her face. Yes,
indeed, she knew about the suffrage
campaign and she believed in votes for
women. Then she turned and spoke
rapidly to her mother and slster-in-law.
Immediately their faces changed, the
guinness vanished and they beamed
upon the callers. They. too, believed in
votes for women; yes. indeed, and so
did their husbands.
Out on the street again and up into
another house marched the Chinese
banner with its message of equality for
men and women. Here was a Chinese
woman of high degree. Heiress to all
the traditions of old China. neverthe-
less she has her face set toward the
promise OF the years to come, and she
believes in equal suffrage. TO be sure,
as Miss Dock explains. there are not so
very many registered voters In China
town. but even though they be but few
they are going to receive the message.
They are interested in 1t too. One full
blooded Chinese voter born in this coun-
try expressed the new ideal for women
as he sees it, II would like my wife to
be a citizen"

SECRETARY HOUSTON, HEAD OF DEPART
MENT WHICH Is WARNING ON MOTHS
be devoted to cutting and burning
worthless or Seeding apple trees and
wild cherry trees and brush. Ii this
is done along the roadways and fences
the appearance Of the region will be
greatly improved.
Care should be taken to protect pine
and other coniferous trees, and hickory
and ash should not be cut. They are
not favored for food either by the cat
erpilars of the gypsy moth or by those
of the brown tail moth.
A general cleanup such as has been
mentioned will greatly assist in con-
trolling this insect. The oak is a favor
ed food of the brown tail moth and OF
the gypsy moth, and wherever it is pos
sible to eliminate oaks less annoyance
from these pests will be experienced.
In cutting wood in the winter for
purposes of fuel the farmer would do
well to select and cut trees which are
favored as food by these insects. In
this way he will not only secure the
fuel which he desires, but will at the
same time decrease the food supply of
the pests mentioned.
1t is needless to say that in cutting
wood for fuel all sickly or diseased
trees should be selected, so that the
stand that remains will be healthy and
vigorous. Each owner must make the
selection for himself, but a great deal
can be accomplished by planning the
work n little in advance so that the
necessary amounts Of fuel can be OBJ
tanned, the preferred food plants of
these insects reduced in number and
the condition of the wood lot improved.
The gypsy moth occurs in the egg
stage during the winter, and much val
liable work can be done in bringing
about its control by treating the egg
masses with creosote applied with
brush This destroys the eggs so that
the next brood of caterpillars is re-
duced.
For the information of residents of
the district infested by the gypsy moth
and the brown tail moth it should be
said that this area has been placed I'M
der quarantine by the federal horticul-
tural board. Nursery stock and living
plants cannot be shipped outside the
area unless the trees or plants have
been examined by an authorized in
spector.

SEEKS TO REDUCE DAMAGE.

EntomoIogists Outline Plan For Infest-

Can Be Done In Doing Away With
the Insects and Preventing Further
Damage Next Year.
Washington. - The department of
agriculture is making a special effort
this fall to prevent the spread of gypsy
and brown tail moths. 1t is the pur-
pose of the government experts to put
into operation some effective means of
reducing further damage to orchards
and forests by these pests.
In the areas infested by these pests
much effective work can be done to
reduce the damage that these insects
are likely to cause the following year,
according to entomologists of the de-
partment.
The caterpillars of the brown tail
moth spin webs In the fall which
remain on the tips of the twigs and
branches during the winter. These
webs should be cut and burned so that
injury will not be caused by the cater
pillars the following summer. Par
ticular attention should be given to
webs of this insect on trees which
grow round dwellings or in orchards.
The apple, pear, cherry, oak and will
low are among the trees which are
favored as food by the brown tail
moth caterpillars. In order to mini
mize the damage which is likely to
result as much time as possible should

According to those best posted on the

nifty the coming worlds series between
the Red Sox and Phillies has been made
the medium of unusually heavy wager
ing. This years classic seems SO un-
usually uncertain IN comparison to kin

any number of unusua avenues for
speculation have presented themselves.

pick. Perhaps the indifferent showing
of the Red Sox against the Yankees-l
mean the evident batting slump of Car
rigan's men-may be responsible for this
condition. Certainly within forty-eight
hours the price has f~1uctuated from Z
to 5 down to II to 10. A bet OF $3.50
to $500 on the Sox vas made just a
few moments ago.
1T IL conceded generally Doyle con-
tinued. that Alexander will pitch the
first game for Philadelphia. Every one
now appears anxious to get aboard the
Quaker city star. Tonight the betting
for the first game Friday favors Alex
ander against any Red Sox pitcher by
10 to 10. ! am sure that by game time
Big Alex will be a 5 to 3 favorite over
his opponent.
Peculiarly enough. the betting just
now Is mostly on the opening game of
the series. Heretofore wagering on in
dividual contests was a secondary con-
sideration. The big money backed the
teams for the entire series-the worlds
championship. I am Of the opinion that
the smart bettors intend to back Alex

they win then to plunge heavily on the
Red Sox to take the series. The price

Philadelphia would be at the most rom
sentative estimate an 8 to 8 favorite
for the series after winning the hrst
game and that the short end then would
be a tempting bet.
Any number Of freak bets have been
recorded. One admirer of Alexander
laid 500 to 500 that Moran's cham
pion would win the first three games in
which ne pitched against the Red Sox.
Another bet $40 to $500 that Alexander
would win all four games.

the first run and $50 even hat Cravath
does not tally three home runs in the
series. Schumm reports plenty Of Phila-
delphla non m sight. but says the
Quaker City enthusiasts demand odds Of
. to 5 against their coin.
According to reports from Philadelphia
received late last night the betting in
New York seems to have Influenced the
wagering In the City of Brotherly Love.
Supporters OF Moran's team. h a
asked Z to 5 on Monday. were eager to
take 6 to 8 last night. Some stiff wagers
were laid at evens. There. az here. the
seekers seem to be Quaker supporters.
Perhaps this may be accounted for In
the fact that the Red Sox contingent and
its money has not yet hit the old stamp
ing ground OF William Penn.
The eniginatical trend of PHILADELPHIA
