FORTUNE IN GRAsSHoPPERs.

Mrs Ruth Z. Brown of Baxter. Kas.,
has shown the world how to make
money out of grasshoppers.
Mrs. Brown had a little farm near
the town, and a fine lot of chickens.
But the grasshopper plague came. de-
s,roying nearly all her grain and linn
iting the chickens food supply. Then
Mrs Brown decided that she'd get
even with Nature by making the
grasshoppers pay for the damage.
she constructed a big hopper trap
out in stubJle field Then she called
in some of the neighbors and had a
grasshopper drive. The insects were
rounded up i'm "a sort of coral made OF
wire screen, with closed trap at the
end Having got the hoppers into the
trap. she lighted couple of sulphur
candles and asphyxiated them.
The first drive brought nearly i've
bushels. She kept at it. and in a
week had about 100 bushels of fine.
Fat. granted grasshoppers stored in
the barn loft TO dry.
All winter AIRS. Brown fed her
chickens ON equal parts OF mixed grain
and grasshoppers. They thrivod on
the diet, and kept right on laying al
winter. The result was that Mrs
Brown made a clear profit OF $500 on
her chickens
That was three years ago. She has
continued utilizing the grasshoppers
sold her land. chickens and all, at a
price thas save her $4,000 prout-
which she attributes solely TO The
chickens insect diet. shes goins TO
buy larger farm anu new poultry
outlt and go irto the grasshopper-
.and-eggs business 0n bigger scale.

DOCTORS OF PLUMBING.

n.versity a sum OF money for the eX-
ress purpose o. promoting a. wider
knowledge OF plumbing" The income

|bnnual prize FOR the best thesis on
|ome subject relating 10 house plumb
|ng.
This may be treated as O. theme for
best, but it's matter worthy OF seri-
|pus consideration. The donor knows
|omething about the tremendous part
played by plumbing in the progress
- society. He probably has q sus-
!picion-and well founded one-that
here is no better criterion of civ.liza-
ion than the perfection 10 which this
Same humble and intensely practical
science is carried. Plumbing and en-
go hand in hand. 1t is
no accident that America, which is
|iustly proud OF it's own progress, mas
|the best plumbing standards and thb
most plentiful supply of plumbing
equipment in the world. 1t pays for
IL. too-but that's another story.
No master plumber. however, will
pretend that perfection has yet been
reached. Hence the value of the
Harvard enterprise.
And why. indeed. shouldn't scholars
write theses on drain pipes? Here we
have graduate students working away
by the thousands, year after year,
preparing learned treatises on such
subjects as Variations of the Greek
Second Aorist." Weak findings in

applicable TO the vital needs of men
and women in our street as de-

Let US have theses and monographs
and masterpieces on plumbing, by ali
means. And let the owl-eyed pro-
lessons come off their scholarly
perches and give a degree of doctor

type. but the big freight steamer
which in recent years has been driving
the schooners from the sea.
\ precisely similar development is
noticeable in yacht construction. For
a while it looked as If sailing yachts
would be almost entirely superseded
by motor boats. But a compromise
has been made ia the form OF aux

economy Of the sailing yacht is COM

sails when there's a good breeze, and
motors when there isn't. and the two

FOR woRLD-PEACE


The manifesto issued by the Inter
national Congress Of Women that as
sembled at The Hague to discuss
means OF restoring peace to Europe
indicates that the women may yet ac-
complish far more than was hoped
OF their efforts. They have taken a
thoroughly sane and practical view
Of the situation. They suggest no
visionary scheme to end the war i'm
mediately. Their manifesto is modest
in tone and content. And yet their
plan. unpretentious as it is, may prove
10 be the true way to peace.
The women propose a neutral con-
ference east in a new and larger
mould than that OF conventional di-
plomacy" The neutral nations are
to provide such conference as the
machinery by which the belligerents
may be brought to a common under
standing as soon as the proper time
comes. The women have sounded the
various warning nations. and report
that they would look without dis
favor upon a conference OF neutral
nations as a possible medium for the
settlement of the world war. and that
the European neutrals are prepared to
form such a conference if they can
get the cooperation of the United
States.
If one group of belligerents should
crush the other. there would be no
need Of mediation except 10 ask mercy
for the conquered. But there seems
10 be little chance OF a crushing VIC
tory on either side. The nations left
10 themselves may ali Tight 10 eN-
haustion. To avoid such a tragic fate
for themselves and for civilization, all
The powers may sOo1 be ready TO
grasp eagerly at any chance OF honor
able peace Already they are sick OF
the toll and slaughter.
The voice of the whole neutral
world WOULD be far more potent than
the voice Of the United States alone.
And as the leader Of the neutrals. this
country might win no less honor from
q settlement OF the war than if il
played the mediation game alone.
Why not take the womeu's advice. and
line up the neutrals with a definite
s1esnization and program

SOCIETY in Washington bears a
semblaace to society in other cities,
except that IL has variants native to
the soil. Principal among these is
the faint OF titled aristocracy given
IL by representatives Of monarchies
stationed in the American capital
You remember the story the lamented
Patrick O'Brien was fond OF telling
on his friend Maurice Francis Egan.
later minister 10 Denmark-hOw
when enrOute TO an official function
in Washington Mr. O'Brien in his
democratic way was proceeding TO
precede some of the dignitaries in
gold lace. Selling Mr.. O'Brien by the
arm, Mr.. Egan cried. For heavens
sake don't go ahead OF the German
minister. He'd drop dead"
NOW we learn from the inquiring
press correspondent that before the
presidents attentions TO Mrs. Gait be-
came marked Washington society had
difficulty in seeing her, because she
was the wife and widow of a trades
man. Think Of that But since the
development Of the white house love
affair Mrs. Gait has had TO keep a
policeman on the door. and if she is
the woman we think she is a lot OF
those Washington snobs Will learn
their places.
