POTATO IMPoRTA7loxS.
Department Prescribes Regula-
tons to Prevent Introduction
of Diseases and Insect Pests.

Those who contemplate importing po-
tatoes from foreign countries into the
United States are notified by the de-
partment that they should give consid-
Grafton to the regulations regarding

duction and establishment of injurious

The importation of potatoes from
Great Britain including England, Scot
land. Ireland, and Wales; Germany;
Austria Hungary; Newfoundland; and
the islands Of st. Pierre and Miquelon
is prohibited by quarantine on account
of the presence in those countries and
islands of a serious plant disease
known as potato wart or black scab.
The following countries, in which this
disease is not known to occur and
which have complied with the regula-
tons of the United States requiring ex-
animation and certification prior to
shipment. have the privilege of export
ing potatoes to this country, namely
Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Bermuda,
Cuba. and the Dominion of Canada.
Provision also is made in, the regula-
tons that in the case of foreign coun-
tries contiguous to the United States
the examination and certifcation prior
to shipment of potatoes offered for ex-
port will be waived when such coun-
tries agree to offer for export to the
United States only potatoes free from
injurious potato diseases and inspect
pests. The Dominion of Canada has
taken advantage of this provision.

A strange case under the Reserve
Forces Act was heard at Bow street
Yesterday. William John Blanche, 80.
of Garrick- mansions, Charing Cross,
musician at the Savoy Hotel, was
charged as an absentee.
Born in Cape Colony, he came to
England fifteen months before the war
to fulfill music-hall contracts. He
should have reported for military SER
vice last March, and was arrested on
Friday while playing at the Savoy. He
said the war stopped his music-hall en-
gagements, and he wished to return to
South Africa, but was unable to get
ship. He was here against his will.
His contract at the Savoy as a banjo
player was made eighteen months ago,
and he received f10 a week, Of which
Sc was spent on music, strings, etc.
Explaining these heavy expenses he
said he sometimes had to play in one
night 100 pieces. He also >had an en-
gagement to play one hour daily. at
Murray's Club for G3 a week, which
only covered his expenses.
The Magistrate: You receive 913 a
week and yet want to return to South
Africa! Absurd.
Defendant was fined f3 and ordered
to be handed over to the military au-
thorities.
Hn adjournment asked for so that
other arrangements might be made at
the Savoy was refused, the magistrate
observing: THE country is the first
thing we have to think Of. 1t is more

twenty-five persons handling game

the Lacey Act have received Jail SEN

paid an aggregate of s12.50O in fines

range from 81 to 5000, the latter being

The number of birds illegally shipped,
and on which prosecutions were insti-

(ruffed grouse), and 1882 ducks. These
figures represent. however. only the

The bureau also has complied in
formation which indicates that in addi-
ton to the figures cited above, large
numbers Of birds have been shipped H.
legally under such conditions that the
representatives Of the department were
not able to establish cases complete
enough to warrant prosecution. It is
believed that al least 1923 quail were
illegally shipped. and of these, 55.O54
were from the States Of Maryland,
North Carolina, and Virginia. The
number Of partridges (ruffed grouse)
involved was 10.302, and Of ducks,
6,252. The number Of ducks shipped il
legally. at first thought, seems surpris-
ingly small, because shipments Of Wild
ducks greatly exceed those Of any
other wild game bird. 1t happens,
however, that some of the States have
not vet prohibited export Of wild ducks,
while others only recently have beer.

this particular. Reliable records show,
for example. that at least 10000 ducks
were exported annually from the Big
Lake district Of Mississippi County,
Ark. under law permitting the ex-
port Of ducks from that county. This
law. however, was declared unconsti-
tutional by the Arkansas Supreme
Court on February Is. 1915. and this
decision will bring this traffic within
the purview Of the Lacey Act.

Wondrous Ways of Cupid
No Masculine Heart Is So Stubborn That 1t Canno, Be
Tanned Into Subsection
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

or fractions that Cupid cannot tame it
into subsection in his own unique way.
The one unfortunate part of it is that
Cupid gives no hint or sign that might
put man on his guard or warn him
to be in readiness. Men meet their
future brides when they least expect
and they are not always duly inn
pressed with their future heart mate
at that. One young man who had to
be fairly coaxed and dragged to ball,
accompanying his chum, saw there
young woman so plain of face that he
marveled why the good-looking young
man dancing with her should be eager
to secure her for the next waltz, the
next and yet others. During the course
of the evening, the young man who
had fought so hard against coming was
introduced by the friend he had ac-
companied to the very plain young
woman. She looked up with a smile
and that smile so radiated her whole
face that her new acquaintance looked
upon her in wonder. 1t charmed him,
interested him, made her almost beau
tiful. Her gracious personality, sweet
ness and wholesomeness captured the
citadel of his heart in that first mo-
ment of meeting. He could not for
get her or the sound of her voice or
the touch of her hand. He who had
laughed at matrimony and the notion
that it took a woman's love to make
man really happy and life worth liv-
ing was manly enough to confess that
he had erred in his judgment, when he
thought the careless life of bachelor
free lance was happier than that of
the man who had placed himself in
the hands of good woman to be loved
and cared for in the married state.
Cupid very often allows man to go
a great length ere he halts him, He
can only run the length of his rope
finding the matrimonial moose at the
end of it.

Mourning for Pet Dogs.

Dog funerals are no longer an UNI
common thing in New York. Every
day the local Office of the dog GENE
terry in Twenty-fifth street has few
visitors who shed copious tears as
they make arrangements for their
dogs interment. And some of the
numerous mourners are willing to pay
large sums to give their favorite pet
a comfortable resting place, even to
the extent of buying tombstones for
them. A ramble through this dog GEM
etery, which is at Hartsdale, will dis
close many remarkable instances OF
the devotion of owners to the memo
ries of the animals they loved. Most
OF the graves have monuments erected
over them with inscriptions telling of
the good qualities of the pets which
have gone to the HAPPY hunting
grounds" Some of these monuments
are very pretentious affairs and cost
as much as $1,000. The cemetery is
we'll kept and flowers bloom on prac.
tically all of the plots.

NO SHELTER FOR MURDERERS
Protection Afforded by House of
an Ambassador.

1t was the grim old Oliver Crom-
we'll who first showed that the house
of an ambassador was not an inviola-
BILE sanctuary for all classes of Of
tenders and that at least the line of
protection could not hold against a
murderer. In November, 1852, Don
Pantaleon Sa, brother of an ambassa-
dor from Portugal to England, walk
ing in the New Exchange, London, en-
gagged in quarrel with young Eng
fish gentleman named Gerard. They
were separated, leaving Gerard
slightly wounded in the shoulder. The
next day Don Pantaleon came to the
exchange with fifty well-armed fol-
lowers, for revenge. Four English
men were slightly wounded and Mr..
Greenway, while walking with his sis
ter and a lady to whom he was en-
gagged, being mistaken for Gerard,
was killed by pistol shot through
the head. A great and enraged crowd
collected. The Portuguese took ref
uge in their house of embassy. Crom-
senger to the embassy, stating that II
the criminals were not given up to the
civil authorities the soldiers guarding
the embassy would be withdrawn and
the mob left to do as 1t pleased. Don
Pantaleon, three Portuguese and "ar
English boy were given up and COM
mitted to Newgate. Their trial was
delayed A mixed jury of Englishmen
and foreigners brought in verdict
of guilty and the five were sentenced
to be hanged The three Portuguese
were pardoned, the English boy"
was hanged and Don Pantaleon, at the
request of his brother, the ambassa-
dor, was spared from hanging and
was beheaded on July 10, 1853 This
case impressed foreign nations with
sense of Cromwell's power, and
has ever since been considered
as a precedent in questions respecting
the privilege of ambassadors and the
persons of their household

MANY POINTS ABOUT CIGAR
Not Alone Must "Weed" Have Proper
Flavor, But Other Things Have to
Be Given Consideration.

A cigar should have four cardinal
virtues. The first and most important
is good burn-that is, the burn must
be even, the cigar must hold It's fire,
the ash should be coherent and not
flaky, and there must be no charring
In advance of the burn.
The second point relates to the
flavor. This is important to the smok-
er-the cigar must tickle his palate
The third essential point has to do
with the aroma, which is the pleasure
giving quality of the smoke, not only
to the smoker, but to the bystander.
Even though cigar has a rich,
smooth, mellow flavor, It should be
classed as a poor one IL 1t gives off
a bouquet which is offensive to all
within range Of Its fumes.
Finally, cigar should have a good
appearance. Really, 1t Is surprising
how important this is. No matter how
fine the burn, or how pleasing the
flavor or aroma, cigar must look the
Part in order to be good. Given two
cigars of equal quality. the one which
looks the best will actually taste the
