Effects OF War Seen in East.

EnectS OF war seen III East.

say about the situation in the east.

or band plays the "Marsellaisc" while
the diners rise cheering to their feet.

Flags, which everyone who has
been in the east since the declaration
OF war has commented upon, are lit
orally everywhere and they are mag
nifcent ones, too. Every automobile
of any kind, every limousine, every
home bears flag, so that no space
is free from SOME form OF the ma
tional emblem and the five flags Of the
allies.

band gave her enough yarn to sup

put an ad in the paper saying that
anyone wishing wool might apply
to her and in no time she had the

When Ants Disagree

Miss Minnie Bronson told the United
States Senate committee the other day
that if women earnestly wanted the
vote they could get it quickly through
their husbands. Miss Bronson is not
married. But no less eminent anti
suffragst, Mrs. Nelson Henry, who is
married, says that anti-suffragists have
Sented by her husband; she is repre-
sented automatically by any man who
happens to agree with her.
Who shall decide. when these experts
in indirect representation are so much

parks. In eXterminatlng the caterpillar 1t is
necessary to kill the egg masses. Usually it
spends the winter in egg form, laying the eggs
in clusters of three or four hundred and de-
posting them on the bark of trees. In former
years the pest was combated by scraping these
off the bark with wire brush and leaving
them on the ground without killing them. The
present efficient method is to scrape them off on
canvas covers and then burn them.
Among the other enemies against which the
commissioner Of tree health is directing his
campaign is the bronze birch borer which orig
inally destroyed thousands of specimens in New
Jersey 1t has killed the tops of hundreds in
Central Park. He is relentlessly fighting the
elm scurfy scale and the leopard moth, which
have taken serious hold on the trees along
Fifth Avenue and have lengthy mortality lists
to their creditor discredit. National atten
ton was attracted to the leopard moth when it
killed most of the fine old elms in New Haven
and Cambridge
The extreme necessity Of technical treatment
in waging war against these plant epidemics
is evident from the fact that each must be met
in its own season and its life history carefully
studied. Some of the tree microbes thrive in
one season, some in another Each feeds diff
ferently. In fighting it advantage must be
taken of the stage best suited for extermna
ton. The treatment for one is not suited for
others.
In view of these conditions the Park Com
missioner has Endorsed plan outlining what is
to be done in the care of New York's trees dur
ing each month of the next two years. And in
order to insure thorough cooperation and eff
cheney in his department he has provided the
forester with trained park hospital staff

dressing tree wounds is essential. And he is
not efficient unless he knows how to plant, how
to fertilize and the proper use of chemicals for
the destruction of insects.
Even climbing tree is an art. Simple as 1t
looks from the small boys standpoint, it should
not be undertaken by the uninitiated. One is
convinced of that after single glance at the
lcafet "Hints to Those Who Climb Trees
recently prepared by the Park Department for
distribution among employees. Here are some
hints on how the sport may be pursued scien-
tfcally:
/. Before starting out on tree judge its
general condition. The trunk of a tree that
shows age. disease or Notwithstanding insects
generally has its branches in an equally I'M
healthy condition. Greater precautions
should. therefore, be taken with tree in this
condition than with young, vigorous tree
?. The different kinds of wood differ nat
urally in their strength and pliability. All
the popars. the ailantuS, the silver mould
the chestnut, catalpa and willow are either
too soft or brittle to depend on without spe-
cial care. The elm, hickory and oak have
strong, flexible woods and are therefore,
safer than the others. The red oak is weaker
than the other oaks. The sycamore and beech
have a tough, ross-grained wood and are
fairly strong. The linden has soft wood,
while the ash and gum, though strong and
flexible. arc apt to split.

generally indicates that borers have been
working all kinds of galleries through it,

Chivalry in the New York Senate

Senator Browns bill suspending the
labor laws for the protection of work
crs in this state has passed the Senate.
The bill will particularly affect the vel
fare of women and children workers.
1t passed with only one dissenting vote
that of Senator Downing. Senator
Wagner. however, did attempt to amend
it. on the ground that England had adj
mitted having made a mistake in de-
creaSing the protection for her women
workers.
DO you mean to say" said Senator
Brown. Justly Mortified. that all laws
respecting the night work of women
should be enforced during the war? AS
for England. doubt if any man in the
Capitol reads as much English litera-
ture as | do"
So the bill was passed.
"For ,comcn's cork" the Senate said.

Nay satisfy their greed.

And. speaking of chivalry, as Sen
ator Brown does whenever he makes
an anti-suffrage speech, though this bill
threatening the welfare of women and
children had only one vote against it.
another bill involving the condition of
train crews and day laborers mustered
seventeen votes opposed.
Perhaps the Senate had been reading
Mr. Henry A. Wise Woods recent anti.
suffrage speech, in which he said that
in America woman approaches to the
state of divinity" The Senators may
have felt there was no reason for laws
protecting a creature of such exalted
position.
Goddess, you may cork all night,
Goddess. you may cork all day.

Nashville Man, Stationed in
China, Went Down with
a French Liner
A. HADEN
THE MISSIONARY
Ship Athos Was Destroyed
by Submarine Feb. II,
East of Malta

Washington, Feb. 24.-Robert Allen
IIaden, an American Presbyterian mis-
sionary stationed at Foo Chow, China,
persisted when the French liner Athos
was destroyed by a submarine 2l0 miles
east of Malta on Feb. II.
Consul Keblinger at Malta cabled re-
port of Haden's death to the state de-
partment yesterday and said that the
missionary's address was given as in
care of the Presbyterian mission board at
Nashville, Tenn.
later dispatch from Consul Keblnger
said the Athos was carrying troops and
may have been transport. No step can
be taken until this fact is definitely de-
termined. This government probably
will have no cause for action if such is
the case.
Mr.. Haden was connected with the
work of the southern Presbyterian board
of foreign missions in the parish of
China His headquarters, according to
the year book of the organization, were
at 500 Chow about 80 miles from Shang-
hal Fifteen Americans were located
there in charge of the work. The prop
erty of the mission is extensive, consist
ing of hospitals, schools for girls and
buildings for other missionary purposes.
The consul's dispatch gave no details
as to other loss of life, how the ship was
destroyed whether she was warned or
how the American was killed. The ma
tionality of the submarine was not Civ
en-, but may have been Austrian. Infor-
nation is being gathered officially to de-
termine the Importance Of the case in re-
lation to the tense situation between the
United States and the central powers.
The Athos was last reported as having
arrived at Kobe, Japan, on Jan. II, and
was evidently on her return voyage when
destroyed. She was vessel of 1854
tons gross and was built at Dunkirk in
1915 for the Messageries Maritime of
Marseiles
Mr.. Allen Haden was born at Keatchie, |
La, in 1865, and graduated from South
western Presbyterian university at |
Tenn, in 1851, at once enter
ing missionary work. His family lives
IN Switzerland, but he has a son, Julian,
IN this country. He left China Dec 20 to
visit Switzerland.

GARLIC FLAVOR IN MILK.
Method Suggested for Prevention of Loss
from Tainted Products.

During the spring of the year there is
usually much trouble, especially in the
middle Atlantic states, with garlic flavor
in milk. Milk dealers refuse to accept
such milk, and if the product is market
ed direct to the consumer there is usual
Iy considerable loss of trade, owing to
the flavor which is found not only in
the milk and cream but also in the but
ter. Dairymen will do well to study this
condition, which may result in serious
financial loss
Many pastures are so badly infested
with wild onion or garlic that the milk
is tainted if the cows are allowed to re-
main in the pastures until milking time.
The dairyman should endeavor to eradi-
cate the pest if possible, but in the mean
time some measures should be adopted
to prevent losses from tainted milk.
The dairy division of the United
States department of agriculture has
conducted some experiments at the Belts
vile, Md, farm in order to determine
the length of time that must elapse be-
tween the feeding of wild onion and
milking time. In some of the feeding
tests one-half pound, in others one
pOuHu, OF Wllu OnlOH tops were leu du
different lengths of time before milking.
1t was found that increasing the length
of time between feeding and milking de-
creased the unpleasant odor and flavor.
There was only faint onion flavor in
the milk drawn from cows four hours
after feeding, and even this almost dis
appeared when the milk had stood for
four hours. In all cases the cream was
more noticeably affected than the skim
milk; in some cases there was no faint
whatever in the latter.
The results of these feeding trials show
that the dairyman should keep his cows
from pastures badly infested with wild
onion for at least four hours before milk !
ing in order to avoid one favored milk. |
This may not be a safe rule, however, if |
any of the cows should eat more than a |
pound of the onion tops. The depart |
ment suggests that every farmer with
onion infested pastures should test the |
question for himself and determine how
ong it is safe to allow the cows in the /
pasture before milking.

The Aroostook Profit.

Writes citizen of Aroostook, not q
farmer but professional man, to a
member of The Herald staff: Il suppose
the cities are rather sore because we are
getting 10 times as much for potatoes as
it costs us TO raise them, and that sort
of thing may lead to government regu-
lstion of food prices or worse. But
everybody's doing it, and Aroostook is
surely making up for the lean years. .
With potatoes actually costing far more
in our cities than they cost in England
and Germany, good many hard pressed
consumers are indeed "sore" at the Aroos-
took prosperity, and are more and more
inclined to see more than the law of
supply and demand in the situation.
A few years ago it was the common
thing for Maine farmers to reckon that
they could raise potatoes for % cents
bushel That included not only cost of
fertilizer and labor, but due allowance
for wastage and for interest on land,
taxes and so forth. That meant a com
Portable profit when the potatoes were
sold at a dollar a barrel. The increased
cost of labor and fertilizer has upset
that reckoning somewhat but the cost
has by no means been doubled. And the
four and five dollars a barrel that Aroos-
took farmers have been getting for
their potatoes at the local stations this
winter has OF late been soaring higher
still. and there remains transportation.

ENGLISH WOMEN ECONOMIC.
Wealthy and Distinguished Are Cogniz-
ant of the Need.

London, Feb. 4.-Wealthy and distin-
guished women of England are as cogniz-
ant of the sacrifices required of them in
these days of stress as their poorer and
less fortunate sisters. Hence they are
forced to give up many pre-war tempta-
tions which make them want to buy
things they should not in the interest of
economy. This temptation turks in mo-
tor cars and taxicabs. in books, flowers,
theatre parties, pretty dresses-all the
pleasant things OF life every woman
likes.

Giving Corn a Start in Life.

In the current Farm and Fireside a
writer says;
"Killing two crops of weeds before
planting is good way to give the corn
crop good start. 1t isn't necessary to
be in a hurry to plant your corn. A good
start is very important factor in the
final yield of any crop. Corn planted
early on poorly prepared ground often
makes an irregular stand, grows slowly,
is injured by weeds, and at the close of
the season makes light yield, while
seed from the same lot planted after the
ground is well warmed up grows more
rapidly, is not so easily choked back by
weeds, and makes a larger yield"
