A SPRING JOURNEY.

We journeyed through broad wood
land ways,
My Love and I.
The naples set the shining field
ablaze,
The blue May sky
Brought to US its great spring sur
prise;
While we saw all things through each
others eyes.
And sometimes from a steep hillside,
Shone fair and bright,
The shadbush, like a young June
bride,
Fresh clothed in white.
Sometimes came glimpses of the blue
sea;
But I smiled only on my love; he
smiled on me.
The violets made a field one mass of
blue
Even bluer than the sky;
The little brook took on that color,
too,
And sang merrily.
"Your dress is blue" he laughing
said, "Your eyes,"
Ny heart sang, "sweeter than the
bending skies"
We spoke of poets dead so long ago,
And their wise words;
We glanced at apple trees, like drift
ed snow;
We watched the nesting birds.
Only moment; All, how short the
dayI
Yet all the winters cannot blow its
sweetness quite away.
Alice Freeman Palmer.

ATLANTA HAS EYE
OPEN THESE DAYS

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. l3.-There may
be some rooming houses in Atlanta
that are really something else. operat-
ing under the thin disguise of rooms
for rent, and there probably are, judg-
ing from all reports. but they are go
ing to have a hard time getting by
under the new administration in
charge of Atlanta's municipal affairs.
The chairman of the police commit
tee of council, which investigates and
reports to council on applications for
rooming house licenses, is Alderman
J. Lee Barnes, a warm friend and
staunch supporter of Mayor Asa G..
Gambler. At his instance, the police
committee has called on the police de-
Partment to make rigid inspection
OF every rooming house in the city,
and all future applications for room
ing house licenses will be referred by
the committee to the police department
for investigation.
Although the tendeTioin district was
abolished several years ago by James
l.. Beavers when he was chief of po-
lice, thereby precipitating a series of
political feuds and factions in the
community, it is generally understood
that the social evil is by no means
eliminated, but is fourishing as of old
in establishments operating under the
guise of rooming houses. These are
the places which the administration is
going to try to put out of business.

CHAPMAN TRIAL IS ADJOURNED
until MONDAY MORNING BEFORE
AN EXPECTED NIGHT SESSION
TEXAS IS FIGHTING
A PINK BOIL WORM

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 13.-Since
the discovery early in November that
the Egyptian pink bollworm is pres
ent in the cotton fields of the Laguna
District of Mexico, about 200 miles
south of the Texas border, the Federal
Horticultural Board of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has taken all
possible steps in Texas to make sure
that the destructive pest has not enter
ed and does not enter this country. The
four hundred or more carloads of cot
ton seed which entered the United
States from Mexico last year have
been traced to oil mills in Texas and
the attention of the operators of these
plants has ben called to the desirable
ity of crushing the Mexican seed as
soon as possible and of thoroughly
cleansing their premises to make GER
tain that none of the insects survive.
Most of the imported seed already has
been crushed, but few consignments
which arrived early in the season have
been covered with large amounts of
domestic seed and will not be reached
until later.
The Federal Horticultural Board
plans to have its inspectors keep
close watch over these establishments
to minimize the possibility of the es-
cape of pink bollworms or their moths.
1t is also planned to have inspectors
carefully examine all cotton fields in
the neighborhood of these establish
nents during the coming growing seas
on in order that any of the insects
which may escape and establish them
selves on cotton plants may be early
detected and destroyed.
The inspection of the Department of
Agriculture so far have not discovered
infested seed in Texas. A number of
carloads of seed in which the insects
were present have been found, how
ever. on the Mexican side of the border
awaiting entry. A quarantine against
all cotton seed from Mexico was plac-
ed in effect early in November and
neither the infested seed discovered at
the border nor any other cotton seed
originating in Mexico has since been
permitted to enter this country.
