SENSELESS BARBARTY.

Mr. Balrour, the first lord OF the
British admiralty, contends that Lon
don is not fortified town and there
fore that the Germans are violating
the rules of civilized warfare-what-
ever that is-when they drop bombs
upon inoffcnsivc civilians. The Ger
mans reply that London is a fortified
town in every sense of the word, COM
ing clearly within the rules of war
which sanction the bomb1rdmcnt Of
such places. They maintain further
more that the bombardmont Of
"open-towns' or unforu.fcd places by
the allies resulting inevitably in the
slaughter Of civilians and noncom-
batants, is just as much a violation
of the rules of war as that charged
against the Germans, even coucedine
that the charges are true.
The rest Of the world will have lit
tie difficulty in reaching the conclu-
sion that both sides have the better
of the controversy this is no
mere opirrammatc paradox. Neutral
students Of the situation can see no
difference whatever between the
dropping Of bombs on London and
the dropping of bombs upon towns
under the control Of the Teutonic
allies Neither act can be success
fully defended according to any Of
the doctrines of international law.
which throws around civilians and
other noncombatants all the protec-
uon possible under the barbaric con-
didons which prevail as an inevitable
consequence Of any war.
1t has been the invariable result
in all Of these raids that civilians
have been killed. rather than soldiers:
that dwellings and churches and
schools and libraries and art galleries
have been blown up rather than arse
nails and forts. Nothing has been ac-
as a general proposition

\ DISTURBED SLEEPER.

one of those wise and witty young
men who delight the world with car
toons has pictured the woes Of the
outdoor sleeper. The miserable man
built himself a aecping porch with
all the modern accessories and in the
innocence of his heart he promised

Cats are bad enough but dogs are
worse. Their voices are shriller and
better trained because Of more CON

vide themselves into responsive Choir

LIGHTNING AND THE ELDER.

Did you ever have a recently imml-
grated Scot advise you to take refuge,
during a severe thunderstorm, under
an elder bush-"Because lightning
never strikes the eldcr?" Do you
know that there not more than six
authentic instances Of the striking Of
an elder or any building in the near
vicinity of an elder, by lightning?
The scientists have a dry-as-dust cx-
planation for this freak of nature:
but the Scotch know the real reason:
Christs cross was made of the elder
tree. Formerly it was stately.
handsome denizcn of the forest; bu.
after its cruel use it received a blight.
SO that it could no longer attain dig
nified proportions II was doomed To
remain a shrub but it was exempt
from the wrath Of Joyc, who nuns

In various parts of the world, lecgnd
explains the peculiarites of other
trees by the statement that the cross
or part of it was made from the
wood Of one of their brethren. In
England the aspen, sometimes called
the trembling poplar" is said to
have acquired the nervous quiyer of

Sam stood around listening with
open mouth, and when the perfor-

milk the cows with one detcrmina-

write a song.

complished, but after all his work,
the neighbors were not compimen-

whole family should be churched OF
even run out Of town Finally, one
old sister told him that in order to
uphold the family name, "he'd best
leave town"
SO Sam went to New York and fell
in with a composer. The COM
poser looked over the music and
said, young man, you're the hero

How keen the thoughts that come
To me, how many in their hurried
Life forget the little simple things
That count so much tween man and
Man. How brothers in their maddened
Flight stop not to think the others
Plight but hasten onward with the
Thought that only they alone exist;
Until the wide eXpanse between
Becomes a chasm dark and deep which
Only lingering time can bridge, and
Then when weight of many years is
Bearing down their feeble forms, they
For the first time realize how just
A few kind gentle words would help
TO make each busy day a pleasure in
It's consequence; that bonds of
Human sympathy are better than the

mediately upon becoming a fly, the in
sect eats its way out through the shells
Of the infested seeds, then through the
green pods. Large portions Of the
seeds are followed out In this manner,
when they are still green and growing.
The infested seeds which still con-
tain the living larvae of the insect may
be recognized by their abnormal shape
and usually by the dull brown color.
Some of the infested seeds however,
retain their natural color, but they al.
ways lack the glossy appearance OF
normal seeds. The extent to which
alfalfa seed is damaged by the fly is
not generally apparent owing to the
minuteness Of the insect and because
its destructive work is accomplished
within the growing seeds. The alfal-
fa-seed grower can only estimate the
percentage of his crop destroyed by
opening a large number of the seed
pods and observing the infested seeds.

WHAT TO DO WITH
ALFALFA SEED PEST

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE alfalfa
seed destroyer, known as the chalcis-
fly, does its destructive work in clover
or alfalfa seeds, from the Gulf Coast
to the. northern limits of the United
States, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture's special
lists who has personally seen the wide
spread devastations of this pest. BY
harvesting severely infested crops, by
cleaning fence lines and ditch banks,
and by winter cultivation the grower
of alfalfa seed may help to control this
insect. A new Farmers Bulletin, mo.
$3.50 entitled 1.-THE Chalcis-Fly in Alfal-
ia Seed" gives the details of these
methods Of control, and may be had
free Of charge on application to the
Department.
The chalcis-fy under the microscope
is formidable-looking insect but when
seen In the field it is frequently con-
fused with the gnat. These pests may
be seen in great numbers flying over
alfalfa-seed shocks and swarming over
the sickle bar when the alfalfa is be-
ing cut. The eggs are SO small as to

URGES RAPID TRANSIT.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 14.-At a.
mass-meeting to be held in the Acad-
envy of Music tonight, leaders in bust
ness, in the professions and in the
labor world will demand that the city
government provide a fund of $4,000
900 for rapid transit. The building Of
subways and elevated lines, with ter
minals and transfer accommodations,
is the plan urged by the business or
CARNATIONS of the city. 1t is the be-
lief of civic leaders that the time has
come When the city must make the
improvement and force the transit
lines to use up-to-date facilities for
transporting the public.
