OALoSOMA BEETLE

Insect Imported for the Purpose, Mos
 successfm in Attacking Pest.

The caIosona beetle. which was in troduced into New England in order to eonTbat the gypsy moth. is ssdec1ared by entornoIogists In the United States apartment of Agriculture to have firmly estabIished itself in It's new en- vironment. The first of these green beetles was sent from EuropeAin 1SO 5. Between then and 1915 a little over A. 900 of the insects were shipped to this country They have multiplied and spread with extraordinary rapidlty and are now so abundant that many people in New England are familiar with their appearance and habits.
 Investigations show that these in- sectss both as beetles and as larvae, consume enormous auantities of the gypsy moth larvae. They are a ble to climbxt the trees upon which their prey are feeding and are most active dur ing the periods when the gypsy moths are abundant. The caIosonaa beetle, insfacts seems to besa admifajb1y adapted in every way tos destroying the gypsy moth. It is net apparently injured by the wilt disease which iseso preva- lent ia it's prey. and neither is it ap- parently affected by the sprays used to control the gypsy moth. At the present time it is regarded as the most important of the natural enemies of this widespread pest. A new pro- fessiona1 paper of the United States apartment Of Agriculture.

though the Colonel has always been rather popular north of the line.
 During the three weeks he delivered only two long speeches which he con sidered of importance enc in San Francisco and another at San Diego, but he was called upon frequently for brief train-end talks and made them before large crowds. The territory he covered, with it's opportunities for political observation may be @esti-
 mated by his general itinerary, which was goin West, through Chicago, St. Paul and the Canadian Northwest to Vancouver. Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, and re- turning East through Sal Lake, On1a-. haS and Chicago.
 He arrived at the Grand Central Station yesterday at $40 A. M aboard the Twentieth Century Limited, and the train had barely stopped before he was bustIing to the platform, showing the familiar smile and gleann- ing teeth to the company of reporters waiting to question him. Mrs. Roose- welt and MT. McGrath, the Co1onel's secretary appeared a moment later. Mrs. Roosevelt is not i'll, as had been reported from Chicago and Cleveland. She was effected somewhat by the heat, but the Colonel said that all talk Iof serious indisposition was non sense.
 Col Roosevelt good humoredIy waved questioners to one side. Yes the exposition was bully He had en- joyed it tremendously! A grand dis play worthyJof any mans time. How did he feel Finet Splendid Tip top!
 A single glance was enough to confirm this The Colonel was simply glow ing with good health. He had put on weight, several pounds-and he didn't quite like that, but he expected to work off the surplus with a little horseback riding and axe-p play in the sec1usion of his estate.
 From the Grand Central Station the Colonel Mrs. Roosevelt and MT. Me Grath drove in the Eolone1's automo-
 bile to the office of the Metropolitan Magazine where, in his private office Ithe Colonel looked over accumulated
 mail. chatted with George ". Per-
 lxins and made preparations to leave l the city. He arrived with Mrs. Roose- welt at Oyster Ray at 50 and drove 1swiffIy to his home. To all save a
 few close friends he denied himself !for the rest of the day, but it was no
 special secret that Theodore Roose- welt came home happy full of confl- Idence and full of fight.

PERSISTENCE IN ADvERr1s1lze

The man who is starting in on au advertising campaign frequently failg to appreciate the necessity of persist- ence. He is more apt to pay for Q big sp1urge for few numbers ana then quit for a time. The general trend of advertising opinion IS that a smaller space used regularly pays better.
 The results of advertising come n one of two ways A abliSer may have in mind some particular purchase that it is desired to make at that time. The newspaper is searched Co see what merchants are advertisinz in that line. The most ateractiYe c8- pferings are noted in the memorg5 The customer visits those stores. While this is the kind of thing that hap pens every day. it is not the whole result or effect of advertising by any means.
 The other result is the creation 5l a general impression that certain merchant is enterprising and is usihs much effort and intelligence to give good values. That kind of advertis- ing is cumulative, the outcome or driving a certain idea into the public mind day after day. A woman may read advertisements for many weeks, and not buy anything in certain line, simply because she is already supplied with those goods.
 All at once she concludes that she must make purchase. Her mind re- verts to the notices of that kind sf goods she has been seeing in her newspap per. The man whose adver- Using she has seen week after week or day after day is the one that has made the impression on her mind.
 Slight impressions govern trade, IE is next to impossible for a man who does not advertise to convey the idea that he is an enterprising dealer. HIS townspeople will not push his business for him. if he is too slow to push q for himself. The only way to con vince people that you have values iz to tell the public what you have and 1 let them judge. The newspaper VrE talk of hundreds of people while you are explaining things to one

Kipling at Fifty.

To-day Rudyard Kipling enters, with
the fiftieth anniversary of his birth, upon
"the youth of old age the fifteen years
which should find him at the height Of his
productive powers. Will he come back
in the colloquialism Of the day? Already
for several years we have read him as a
classic. his earlier work far more enthusi-
astically and appreciatyely than his later
books, and his prose far more than his
verse. lie has written much in metre and
rhyme. but only occasionally has he proved
himself a true poet; ard never again,
though the urgent occasions have pre-
sented themselves, has he risen to the
majestic vision of the "Recessional.'
An ardent patriot, he could find no
higher inspiration in the Boer war than
the music-hall appeal for "The Absent
minded Beggar"; the rest was pedestrian,
and abuse Of an enemy whose fighting
qualities should have appealed TO the ere
ator Of Mulvaney, Learoyd and Ortherls.
To be sure. none Of his fcllow-ba burned
with the fame Of inspiration, but England,

typical of the Proper Spirit.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Tuesday, November T, 1916 the yot-
ers of these United States, hope, will have
at least one candidate to vote for as Pres-
dent, whatever party may name him, who
stands for the spirit Of Americanism which
brought justice to Cuba and relieved those
suffering people which created conditions in
the Philippines which will bring a lasting
tribute to justice but which has been smoth-
cred with diplomatic notes during the past
few months. until the whole world laughs
with scorn and millions of American citizens
helplessy feel sense of shame. Theodore
Roosevelt typifes the true American spirit
which is the spirit Of a majority Of the yot-
ers OF these United States.
Let the Republican party name Theodore
Roosevelt as its candidate, and on March 1.
1917. the true American spirit will go into
the White House backed by a vast majority
of American citizens and once more the
United States will hold the high position sh
once occupied.
Theodore Roosevelt for justice to tumanitS
and the greatest opportunity for America.

Spurious Entente Cordiale."

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In my opinion TO more absurd edi-
torial has ever appeared in the columns of
The Tribune than the one printed this morn
ing under the caption "vive la France!"
However Historically you may desire &c
discredit the present administration, how
ever much you may agree with my own per-
sonal view that the policy of the present
administration in dealing with the destruc-
ton Of American lives on neutral ships has
been unfortunate. there does not seem TO
me any justification in your cheapening the
sincerity Of this viewpoint b. a thinly dis
gused political attack
Since the policies of governments cannot
detract from the courage Of soldiers, much
honor should undoubtedly be given to the
arms of France Much honor should also
be given to the soldiers Of all countries,
since the ones who fight can only do so
from motives Of patriotism. | deplore, how
ever. an apparent glorifcation of the valor
of France or the valor Of any nation which
is. in fact. nothing but an attack on the
Wilson administration.
Let me say for the purpose OF giving to
you what comfort it may that ! do not, In
the MAN, support the Wilson administra-
ton and should be delighted to vote for
Republican President, when your own coy
balancing of a NEUROLOGICAL pro-Roosevelt
public opinion permits the nomination of one.
Since | have long read The Tribune. and
usually with interest, feel no hesitation in
speaking as frankly as one does to ones
friends, but | am forced to the reluctant
conclusion that we're ! to express my opinion
of your editorial with the vigor which its
lack Of sincerity merits it would prevent the
publication Of my letter.
Ny suggestion for title for this letter is
Spurious Entente Cordiale."

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your very able editorial "Do They
Want Roosevelt" IS the most timely OF in
quiries. Ny answer is a most emphatic Yes.
and il is echoed by millions Of Americans
who love him for his intensified patriotism,
as a man who would decline to sacrifice one
American principle upon the altar OF dema-
gogy. even though the reward might be the
Presidency itself. He represents the high
est. the most noble and the best Of all con-
comitants that go TO make up the grandest
type of American manhood
His spotless integrity and unsullled honor
he has borne aloft in his private and public
life. jealousy guarding it even TO the extent
of invoking judicial aid, and thereby com
peliing his puny traducers to deyour their
Shiny SANDERS with the same feIvor with
which they uttered them. lie has convinced
the world that he knows the limitation put
upon fair comment, and when sued by those
who sought 10 abridge his rights OF free
speech he used truth as his shining weapon
of defence; and, like a Spartan, brought ms
shield of honor home.
The American people wanted" him in 1912
as the standard bearer Of the Republican
party. and their wills were defeated only by
a few men who sought to sacrifice and be-
tray him because of his absolute incorrupti-
bility. Yes. Mr. Editor, the Americans want
Mr. Roosevelt. They want him as their
leader because he is the living embodiment
of all things that Americans hold most dear,
all that goes to make that glorious type OF
man. can we'll imagine hear the Amer
lean people saw that they are with him right
or wrong with him when he's right to keep
him right. and with him when he's wrong 20
make him right. W ). WOODWORK

the Empire, the English-speaklng world
looked TO him, not to these others, least Of
all to the laureate Of the historic moment
for the impassioning song Of war.
And again, in the Empires supreme
test, the Empires bard, its unofficial lau-
reate, has failed to strike the spark. No
immortal strain from his pen has echoed
around the world, dedicating, consecratlng
a race to its mother in her hour OF need
Instead, Mr.. Kipling has written poem
about France; and William Watson has
told America what he considers to be her
duty. A pure fame Of inspiration has
fickered for a moment in the trenches IN
Flanders, and gone out with the life OF
Rupert Brooke. Whatever the world,
whatever Germany herself may think to-
day of the "Song Of Hate" at least 1t
burned for brief moment with the con-
viction, the resolve of nation. This war
for civilization and democracy seems
doomed not TO be sung as it should be
sung. The Muse is crushed by its magnl-
tude in all the warning countries.
But if Kipling has failed twice to rise
to the height of hours Of compelling gran
deur. if we have come to regard him as
already part of our heritage-for some OF
his work, at least, will live-his tiftieth
birthday serves to remind US that he re-
mains a possibility of unknown potency
still. The inspiration that has tagged
may spring into ardent activity again.
Even if it does not, the twenty-three
volumes that contain his work will remain
to us. a fresh delight to each new genera
ton of readers, an eyer-renewed delight,
also. to those who hailed his coming and
his rise. and who return to him from time
to time and never are disappointed. These
books are sufficient laurels for Rudyard
Kipling to rest upon, even at fifty But
for our own sake, and his, and England's,
we wish him new inspirations worthy of
those that have made his fame.
