PRESIDENT WILSON REFUSES !
TO SEND ARMY INTO MEXICO

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il.
No armed troops will be sent across
the Mexican border at this time. 1t was
plainly indicated today. following half
hour conference between President Will
son and Senator Stone. chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
This was strengthened after todays
Cabinet meeting.
1t was admitted that the Mexican situa-
tion was the chief topic discussed by the
President and his advisers. The positive
statement was made. however, that no
course had been decided upon other than
to give CarranZu time to capture and pun
lsh those guilty of massacring II Ameri-
cans near Chihuahua.
The Cabinet also discussed the subma-
rine question in a general way. Austrias
reply in the Persian case-that she could
not accept responsibility for the sinking
of the Persia-was taken up. but no de-
cision was made. 1t was intimated, how
ever, that the Cabinet considers the en-
tire submarine question near complete
settlement.
This determination became more fixed
after receipt today by the State Depart
ment that General Jose Rodriguez had
been executed by Carranza authorities
and that the reported massacre of 10
more Americans at MADEIRA had been Of
ncially declared untrue.
NO INTERVENTION YET.
The Senator called to get the Presi-
dents advice on action his committee
should take on the dill rent resolutions
referred to It. He would give no indica-
tion Of what the President desired done
with Senator Lewis resolution to give
the President the same authority to use
the army in Mexico that he has with

HINTS ON PROPER SPRAYING
Buy Paris Green In Original Package,
Guaranteed Pure-Arsenate of
Lead Is Also Popular.

In the use of paris green to kill in
sects the right proportions are one
and a half pounds Of the poison to one
pound of fresh lime and 200 gallons of
water. But note in using this that il
must be kept stirred, else the, poison
will settle, as it is heavier than water.
Buy the green in the original pack
age, guaranteed pure. In this formula
the lime is used to overcome the caus-
tic poison which might otherwise in.
jure foliage.
For fungous troubles add to this
same mixture six or eight pounds of
copper sulphate or bluestone. The
bluestoAe is always to be dissolved in
water in a separate vessel and not
mixed with the limewater until just
before using. The bluestOne is best
dissolved by inclosing in Il burlap sack
and suspending it in the water.
Another poison largely used instead
Of paris green is arsenate of lead. This
has some advantages over the other.
1t remains in solution longer, it adj
heres to the foliage better and there
is less danger of injury to the foliage.
Two pounds of the arsenate to fifty
gallons of water is the right proper
ton. This may be added to the bor-
deauX mixture also.
A substitute for the bordeaux is the
lime-sulphur solution, and some fruit
men prefer this when the trees are dor
mant.
This is doubtless the best treatment
for scales and all sucking insects. The
lime-sulphur is commercial article
and may SDe bought in al sized pack
ages up to barrel size. one gallon of
this to eight of water is the proper
mixture, but does not apply to growing
plants. Arsenate of lead may be add
ed If poison is desired.

fected limb n yellow liquid, from the

Many fruit-growers first find the scale
on the fruit by the red blotching which
develops about the point of attack. The
blotch is deep red in color with a light
spot in the center and may vary in
size from mere spot to a distinct
blotch. The pest seemingly injects
poison while extracting sap, which
causes the red blOtch.
All trees and fruit should be fire.
quently examined and In all cases
where there is any question about the
presence of the scale In an orchard,
samples of bark, twig and fruit should
be sent to the Missouri agricultural
experiment station at Columbia, for
examination. 1t is waste of time
and material to spray for the scale
where it is not present, and 1t is ex-
pensive to let an orchard go unsprayed
where the pest is present, so make
sure about the presence of the pest
first.

How to Fitch Glass.

A simple way to etch glass is to
warm 1t carefully; If heated too rapid
ly it will crack. Rub parafliD or bees
wax over the warm surface of the
glass, and then with a blunt instru-
ment print the desired wording. To
some fluorspar Calcium floulide)
placed in metal dish, add enough
concentrated sulphuric acid to mois-
ten the powder. Place the glass, with
the marked side down, over the metal
dish containing the above chemicals
and leave 1t over night. In the morn
ing, scrape the parafiin off and the de-
sired words will be etched on the

to discourage them from scratching.
1t Is an attachment which fastens to

the case may be, attempts to scratch,
the prod strikes the ground and kicks
him or her forward. A few scratches,

HAD A FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Lifelong Dread Made Woman Uncon.
scious and She Died From
Fright.

During q thunderstorm at Newton,
N. j., woman who through all her
life Of fifty years hod felt nervous
dread of lightning became uncon-
scious from fright and died.
Cannot the multitudes Of otherwise
rational people who are obsessed by
the same dread take counsel of the
fate of this unfortunate and allay
their fears? asks the New York World.
They suffer an access of terror In
every thunderstorm, and in effect I'M
dergo the agony of death many times.
Yet there are few other forms of
death so painless or so remote. In
1912 in the whole country only 243 per-
sons were killed by lightning, of whom
but AZ were females. Women, who
mainly feel this fear, should be en-
couraged by their greater immunity.
But, in fact, twice as many people
are burned to death In conflagrations
In year as are killed by thunderbolts,
and the number of those who die from
organic heart disease compared with
those who die from lightning is as 354
to /.
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times to
deaths by lightning has had some
thing to do with the survival of the
fear. People who view their inescap-
able exit from this world with philos-
ophy should be ready to accept light
ming stroke as an end as easy as any
tc nuta ,tot 70 ad-
NIT of physical sensation, while the
fear-ridden are assured that If the

DAMAGE BY SAN JOSE SCALE

Different Kinds of Trees and

The San Jose scale will attack more

shrubs, but it is most often found on
apple, peach and pear trees and on cur
rant and fire-bush. When it first be-
gins to appear on tree it is difficult
for one TO detect it, for the small gray
circular armors are no larger than
pin-head. A bad case of encrustation
should be readily seen by any fruit
grower, for the armors form a scurfy

and faithful watcher of the oven.
A perfect cake must have fine delicate
texture, very tender and free from any
suggestion of sogginess, yet moist. 1t
must be light as a feather, and Of good
flavor, good to look at and more deli
ciOus to the taste. With all these
qualifications 1t is certainly an art to
produce perfect cake; it takes deft
hand with careful attention to detail.
The fame Of good cook was not
earned by making good cakes, for 1t Is
more desirable accomplishment to
be able to broil steak, properly cook
an egg or prepare piece Of toast, or
highest of all make standard loaf
Of bread.
Some of the main points to observe
In making cake 1t will be profitable to
dwell upon. Have oil Of the ingredi-
ents ready as well as the utensils be-
fore starting In, because at the critical
moment something vital may be lack
Ing which will spoil the result. Have
the butter, If used, soft, not melted,
but so soft that 1t quickly creams; add
the sugar gradually, mixing 1t well
have extra eggs so that II there should
be stale one you need not leave to
get another. Break oil eggs In q small
dish one at time so that no ACCT
dent such as putting bad egg into
dish with several good ones, occurs.
Make sure that the oven Is ready
by the time the cake is ready for IL.
The success of cake depends largely
upon its baking. One may put care
into the mixing and making of cake
and ruin 1t by careless attention to 1t
when 1t is In the oven. Cakes that
contain a large amouSt of eggs, espe-
cially whites stiffiy beaten, should
bake In a slow oven. Cakes that con-
tain fruit and molusses should also
bake In slow oven. Cakes that re-
quirc slow cooking are best baked In
sheet iron or heavy tin as they are
better protected from the direct heat.
spIce Cakes.--Beat an egg, add two

cafe In Plainfield, N. j., has in
stalled a unique system for the con-
yenience of It's diners. Whether the
plan will eventually be welcomed by
the dining public has still to be proved
but IL has the merits of ingenuity and
novelty. Each table In this enterpris-
ing cafe is connected directly with the
kitchen and the head chef by means OF
telephone. The fastidiOus diner, in
stead of trusting the fine points of his
order to mere waiter, cells them d.
rectly into the ear Of the chef. Thus
he can have his steak cooked to the
the proper number of drops of season
