SUMMER IN THE CITY.
By Frederic J. Haskin. !

Now that summer is here, much ad-
vice is forthcoming on how to spend a
vacation. Railroad pamphlets con-
tanning glowing accounts of excursions
clutter up the morning mail; every
street car carries the picturesque ad-
vert1sements of ocean summer resorts;
our friends try to persuade us to visit
a certain unequaled lake of their ac-
quaintance, and still others urge US to
camp in the mountains. Everybody is
excited and concerned over the fortu-
nate individual who is going away but
no one seems to care what happens to
the man who spends his entire summer
in the city. There are, of course, a
few interested exceptions, such as the
proprietors of roof gardens. soda
fountains and outdoor motion picture
theaters; but for the most part staying
in the city is an transformations sport
unattended by press notices and the
mania for sending picture post cards.
Time was, not so very many years
ago, when it was considered a dis
grace to spend the summer in town.
and many and weird are the stories of
families who, supposed to be in Narra-
gansett or Saratoga, actually lived
stealing out only under cover of dark
ness. City streets in those days pre-
scented rows upon rows of silent, closed
houses as bleak and lifeless as cata-
combs. Now city life in the summer is
not such a daring breach of custom,
and is far from intolerable. AS the
summer vacationists flock out a new
contingent of sightseers comes to take
their places, and although sightseeing
under the best of circumstances is
fatiguing experience, the people do not
seem to feel the additional burden or
the heat The summer school also has
served to bring about change IN the
popular attitude toward summer
spent in the city.
1t is a well known scientific fact that
of the two extremes in temperature. ex-
cessive cold is harder on the constltu-
ton, yet school children work cease
lessly through the coolest month or
January when it is considered criminal
to keep them in school in July. School
authorities have at last come to the
conclusion that children are quite ca.
pab1e of assimilating GOOD deal OF
knowledge in the summer, and IN most
cities schools are now provided to
teach children many subjects, such as
basketry and art work, not included
in the winter curriculum. So fast has
the summer education idea spread that
the large colleges OF the country now
have almost as large summer matrlc-
ulation as in the winter. When the
such as New York and Chicago, to the
students the city factor seems to be
rather an advantage than disadvan-
tage.

FILES MOTION To VACATE
IN GUARDSMAN'S CASE
War Department Also Makes For
NAL Return to Brockman Habeas
Corpus Writ.

The War Department today fled in
the District Supreme. Court motion
to vacate the order dismissing Corp.
John B. Brockman of the District Ma
tonal Guard from the service of the
United States after he had been mus
tered into the federal service Filed
with the request is formal return to
the habeas corpus writ by Capt E. w
Fullam. adjutant of the militia. on
whom the service of the writ was had
before the guard went into camp.
Through Maj. Samuel T. AnseI, judge
advocate of the United States Army:
Maj. W. S. Hodges. judge advocate. n.
q. ID. 6. and Attorney Lewis W. Call,
capt. Fullam tells the court that by a
misrepresentation of the facts and cir
cumstances in the case 40 full return
was made to the writ and consent
granted to the release of the guards
man.
Had Taken Muster Oath.
Capt. Fullam advises the court tina
when the order was signed Brockman
had taken the muster oath and was
then in the service of the United States
and was subject to the paramount ju-
risdiction and control of the federal
authorities, and he was without au-
thority to consent to the release of
Brockman.
The case is one of unusual impor-
lance, the court is told, because of the
fact that the disposition of it will
serve as precedent in many similar
cases which, the War Department is
advised, are now pending before va ri
Gus federal courts at this time of en- err
gency, requiring the use of the entire
organized militia of the United Sta,es
and should be decided on it's merits
Young Brockman is at home on a
furlough by reason of the consent or
der, which is now sought to be va
Gated. His counsel, Frederick R.
Whippler. will oppose the reopening of
the matter before Justice Gould next
Tuesday.

Mr.. Moore Attacks the Bill.


Mr.. Moore Attacks the Bill.
Mr.. Moore asked his republican col
leagues not to support what he called
the ''uncompromisingly democratic
spider-web revenue BILL" charged the
democratic Congress with extravaganza
and declared that democrats at the rate
of 10000 a year are being placed
the government pay rolls. He said that
10000 deserving democrats" have been
put on the federal pay rolls by the
party in power, while the President has
been vainly calling for volunteers to
protect the Texas border. Why don't
these deserving democrats enlist?' he
asked.
Mr. Moore said that if President Will
son had recognized Gen. Huerta as
President of Mexico, two years ago,
Mexico would have been at peace now
and the extraordinary Mexican expendi-
lures would have been avoided.
Reviews Democratic Achievements.
Mr.. Collier gave what he called re-
view of the achievements of the demo-
cratic party, claiming that it had
enacted more constructive legislation
IN four years than the republican party
had in fifty years.
Representative Rainey, author of the
tariff commission feature of the bill.
explained that because members of
Congress are always partisan on tariff
matters he had included in his measure
the provision that former members of
Congress could not be appointed to po-
sitions on the commission.
Mr.. Kitchin's Explanatory Speech.
Representative Kitchin's speech in
explanation of the combined revenue
measure and tariff commission bill was
one of the longest delivered in the
House at this session. 1t was plea
that the bill be passed as a non-partisan
measure He called the attention of
the republicans to the fact that the
extra expenses of the government
necessitated in large part by the pre-
paredness program, should be provided
for as a national duty. He said the
republicans and democrats alike had
supported the increase in the army and
navy, and therefore the revenues for
these increases should be provided in
similar non-partisan spirit.

that the caterpillars in their first and
second stages are not able to live on
some Of these plants even though they
may feed on them in later stages of
development. For instance, though the
caterpillars in their later stages will
feed upon pine, and have killed large
areas of pine mixed with hard wood
in Massachusetts, they must have some
deciduous foliage for food in their first
and second larval stages. Considering
the matter from this standpoint it
seems quite possible to cut out all
other growth, leaving solid stands of
pine or other conifers which, with only
slight protection, may escape destruc-
ton. By the use of tanglefoot on the
trunks of the trees around the margins
Of such an area, little damage will re-
suit.
In slight infestations the insects are
nearly always found on old apple
trees. They are partial to fruit trees,
willow, oak, poplar and rose, but when
the caterpillars are abundant, food We
comes increasingly scarce and they
will feed upon a great many different
trees and plants.

OVERCOME PEACH-LEAF CURL
Scourge Checked by Application Of
Lime-SuIphur, Preferable in No
vember or December.

That scourge of peach culture,
peach-leaf curl, has been overcome by
lime-sulphur solution applied when the
trees are dormant, preferably in No
vember or December. Experiments
carried on by the Cornell experiment
station have proved that applications
Of lime-sulphur solution used for con-
troll of San Jose scale and other scale
insects will also prevent the develop
ment Of the peach-leaf curl. Where no
scale exists, a weaker application of
the lime-sulphur solution will answer
the purpose.
The usual strength for the San Jose
scale is one part of the concentrated
lime-sulphur solution to eight parts Of
water, and when used for the control
Of peach-leaf curl proportion Of one
part to fifteen of water will be found
sufficiently strong.
