HORSE HAS LONGEST
PEDIGREE IN THE WORLD

No king of the realm, no matter how
purple be his raiment, nor. in fact, any
other human being. can trace his an
cestry as far back as that of the
horse. This animal, so well known the
world over, has the longest pedigree on
record: one probably more than 3,OOO 900
years old, dating back to what is
known as the Eocene age, thousands of
years before the coming of man. His
genealogical tree is shown in the Ma
tional Museum at Washington. where
series of feet and skulls depict some
OF his more important ancestors.
The horse of the Eocene, or his for
bear, rather. was known as Eohippus,
or dawn horse" He was about the size
of fox. standing little more than
one foot high. Eohippus lived in
North America, where he ran light
footedly over the tertiary rocks on his
well developed four-toed front feet and
three-toed hind feet. His teeth were
not like those Of modern horse, either,
but we're short crowned. While scien-
lists are unable to tell US just how long
II. name was. if he had any, or the
.olor Of his hide. they do know the
facts mentioned above, for his fossil
-emains have been found in the rock
strata known as the lower eocene,
which Is supposed to date back about
100000 years.

To Destroy Book Worms.

Sometimes book shelves become infest-
ed with moths, or rather silver witches,
as the pests are called This is aismall
silvery worm. which is seen when books
and papers that have remained undis
turbed for some time are moved. 1t
shuns the light and runs very rapidly to
a place of conceslment, so il is not very
often seen. But the effects of its raw
ages are apparent. II loves starch and
feeds on the starch used in the bindings
Of the books, and also eats away the sur
face of heavily glazed paper TO feed upon
the sizing. IL eats also starched cloth
ing, linen and curtains and may do dam
age to any ia brio in which starch has
been used
To destroy the silver witch cover bits
OF cardboard with boiled starch paste
poisoned with arsenic and lay them on
book shelves, behind mantels, in the bot
tom of drawers, etc. But, of course,
take care that this paste is well out of
the way of children or household pets.
Often book seems ruined when grease
or oil is spilled upon it, but all traces
of these spots may be removed by sprink
ling the spots thickly with little pow
dered pipe clay. Over this should be
placed piece of heavy brown paper and
a hot iron should be applied. The iron
should be hot but not hot enough to
scorch the sheet. If the powder sticks
to the book rub it off gently with soft
eraser.
If the leaves of book have become |
soiled from much usage they can be
freshened by rubbing first |
with piece of stale bread to take off |
The loose dirt Then lay a clean piece of
plotting paper moistened in a saturated
solution of oxalic acid, and go over this
With hot iron. Do not use enough of
he solution to wet the page. but simply
noisten the leaf OF the book with the
World.

HANDLING QUACK-GRASS.
Prevent Seed from Maturing and Starve
Out Underground Parts.

The methods advocated for the control
or eradication of quack grass are more
or less similar for all sections, according
to data from the various state expert
ment stations and the department.
In the eradication of any weed which
propagates by underground parts and
also by the production of seeds, the fun
damental principles TO be recognized are.
first, to prevent the plants from matur-
ing seeds, and, second, to starve out the
underground parts by preventing the
formation of leaves.
The roots of quack- grass growing on
sod and pasture land are much nearer
the surface than where the grass is
growing in cultivated field. For this
reason. when it is desired to clear a field
of quack grass, it is often advisable to
first utilize the field as a pasture or
meadow, keeping the grass grszed or cut
rather close for a year or so before at
tempting TO kill it.
The process of killing qusck grass is
not complicated nor difficult, but re-
1uires thorough, conscientious work and
perseverance. The work should start in
mid summer by blowing the infested
land only deep enough to turn over a
furrow containing most of the grass

The Allies Are Now Able to
Make Their Own
Munitions
AMERICAN PLANTS
REDUCE FORCES
October Is to See the Last Of
Big United States
Exports

New York, July s,-The business OF
manufacturing war munitions for the
allies in this country is on the verge OF
slump. Already several plants that
we're created or enlarged for the purpose
of turning out shells and other ammuni-
ton, small arms and castings and forg'
ings for machinery that in turn made
munitions have either closed their doors
or have discharged large numbers of EN-.
ployes.
Many of the contracts let by the Brit
sh, French and Russian governments at
the beginning OF the war have been filed
In some cases there were no renewals of
contracts because of the inferior quality
of some of the American output, but
mainly because the manufacturing plants
in the home countries have been so devel.
oped that they are able TO meet the de.
mands of their armies
Experts in the employ of foreign gov
ernments with headquarters in New York
admit that the manufactu turing boom is
about to wane There will be no sudden
cessation of business, they say, and for
at least two months more there will
hardly be an appreciable decline in the
business of making instruments of war.
But after October, they declare, many
factories which abandoned their regular
lines of work to make munitions will
either have to resume their old business
or close down.

Iowa Is Natures Masterpiece.

In the the July American Magazine is
an article on Iowa by Herbert Quick
who tells why this state is one of the
garden spots of the earth.
Nothing has been left undone by
nature to complete the work" he SAYS,
First destiny covered Iowa with the
waters of the sea, and for millions of
years there dropped TO the dark levels
of this primordial ocean the lime, the
gypsum, and the clsys which form the
basis and provide for the renewal of
her soil. There fell also the sandstones
for her buildings, when man should
come to make them. Then the seabed
rose, the waters receded, and in the
hot. moist breath of the carboniferous
era were laid down the Goals. so that
when man came he might find the
suns heat stored for him, clay for
that heat to convert to brick, and lime.
gypsum and clay combined with heat
into that liquid rock which pours like
water and turns to living stone.
But His hand was stretched out
still The CLAWS and lodges and sands
were then no better than those of any
other land. They would not do for the
So there came on the
earth a great chill and the waters
were made into a pillow, and with that
plow of ice the GRANTEES of the earth
we're ground up that their potash
might be made soil, and the phos-
Dhates were mingled with tn potash.
ind through all ran the lime: and the
glacial plow passed over Iowa and
made Of her a great plain OF smooth
.ilth, and streved il with black drift /
il for the pigmy plows of man.
Then destiny waited while ;he waters

feSsion.

In the Woman's Home Companion for
July is an account how a woman made
a considerable sum by organizing enter
tainments for children's parties, an idea
that is comparatively recent:
"The fees at first were from one dol
lar to two dollars for plans, according TO
the kind of entertainment. Personal
supervision from one dollar to five dol
lars. according to the time required. Lat.
er. as the demand increased, the charges
were raised to from one dollar to five
dollars for plans, and personal super
vision has frequently brought as high
as twenty-five dollars. One large affair
secured fifty dollars for the Entertain
ment bureau. The receipts from decora-
tions. place cards. etc. were a substan-
tisl income in themselves and the oriri.
nator was soon obliged TO secure severa:
