WATCH FOR MITES
 ON NEW POULTRY STOCK

Chicken mites, the night pest of poultry, may not always leave the fowls before daylight, as commonly supposed, but may remain in the feathers in such numbers as to make poultry possible carriers of this pest to uninfested places. This fact was brought out recently by an entomolo- gist of the U. S. Department of Agri- culture in the course of a study of the life history and habits of the chicken mite, undertaken to discover principles on which combative meas
 ures might be based. A report of the study, which includes much other information of interest to poultrymen,
 has just been published as Bulletin
 553 of the department. The Chicken
 Mite:' Its Life History and Habits" l"
 by H. F. Wood.
 To prevent the introduction of this
 serious pest in mite-free flocks by
 means of new stock, the specialist suggests these precautions: New stock not known to be free of mites should
 be isolated the first few nights and allowed to roost on new roosts wrap ped with pieces of folded paper. The object of using the paper is to furnish a convenient place for mites to hide. The paper SnOul0 De eXAh1fAeO ana IT mites are found, the fowls should be kept on these roosts five or six days, or utIM no more mites come off the fowls. Removing and destroying the papers and treating the roosts thor oughly with kerosene or crude oil, will prevent an infestation.
 Methods of combating this pest, as announced recently in Farmers Bul- letin 801, include the spraying of the roosts and living quarters with crude petroleum or coa1-tar products. One
 of the most effective sprays is so-
 called wood preserver, consisting of
 anthracene oil with zinc chloride add ed. The cost of this pray is about $1 gallon but twice the quantity may be obtained by reducing with equal parts of kerosene.

Moving Pictures

 Youths Criminals

Sensational moving. pictures and lurid novels are held Responsible for the acts of William Kovacs and Mi chael Saunders, Is year old ,Norwalk boys, who were arraigned yester- day before Judge Burpee of the su- perior court on the charge of burg lary. They were sent to the state re- formatory for six years.
 States Attorney Cummings said the boys had been so enthusiastic over the exploits of Billy the Kid,'' who makes the redskins bite sthe dust in the movies, that they purchased re- volvers and started to learn how to become dead sure shots.
 Then they broke into the store Of John s. Roberts of Norwalk and at tackled the proprietor. After the crime the boys fled to California where they were captured and brought back to this state by the state police. On the return trip Kovacs slipped off the handcuffs and made an attempt to escape but tswas prevented just in time.

 The lesson today for the home dressmaker deals with the cutting of the waist. No trouble will be exper- ienced, if the seven pieces of the pat tern are placed on the material as il- lustrated in the cutting gpide. The surface on which the linen is placed must be perfectly smooth, of course, and the material folded evenly in half so that each section will be cut in duplicate. Place the front, marked stG" into position, laying the straight edge along the selvage and the large OOo perforations on a lengthwjse thread of material. Next, on the lengthTise fold, place the back. Op- posit t$he back lay the facing, large s'O@ perforations on @ lengthwise thread. If the jabet is to be used as 8 trimming, the large 70" perfora- tions should rest on . lengthwise thread of material as shown in tho guide. To the upper right of the iabot is the cuff with large 70" per forations on q lsngthwise thread, with the collar at the lower night hand cor ner of the cuff, laid on the lengthwme fold of material The sleeve Is the Last sectAon placed into position and the large "6n perfora&fons rest on a lengthwise thread.
 If the jabot is used on the front
 of the waist, the open neck is prefer able.

KAPULANI

KapuIani was the wife of Maine, hereditary counsellor in the court of King Lihohho of Honolulu. She gain ed her fame by causing the overthrow of the worship of Pe1e. The immediate region around the crater of Ki1uaea remained under the influence of the priesthood of the goddess Pele for several years. She was the most fear full of all the deities of Hawaii, de- manding the most wicked sacrifices of heathenism. In 1925 Kapulani dared to disobey the heather dictates of the priesthood and visited the crater. She ventured to the brink .of~the- abyss and

DEBORAH SAMSON

When General Pers11ing's first con- tingent of American troops started for France some time ago it was .discov- cred that the sweetheart of one of the soldiers had enlisted as g. man and was aboard the transport, ready to sail for France. Of course. the brave young lady was politely but firmly told that the fighting in Europe was mans work and that she would have to go home, where she might work for her country in other ways than to fight on the battlefield for it. This incident recalls to mind the expert ences of another brave American woman, who was somewhat more suc- cessfuI in her martial enterprise. This woman was Deborah Samson, the child of poor parents of Plymouth, Mass. She had no education. but con- trived to teach herself how to read and write. During the Revolutionary war, when she was twenty years old, she disguised herself in mans ap-- parel and enlisted under the name of Robert Shirt1iffe. As she was accus- toned to outdoor labor she was en- ab1ed to undergo the same 'hardships as the other soldiers. Fidelity and zeal gained her the confidence of her officers and she was volunteer in many hazardous enterprises. She was wounded twice before an army sur geon discovered her sex. He report ed the facts to her commanding of ficer and after her recovery she was sent with a message to General Wash ington He gave her an honorable discharge and a present of money. She later married Benjamin Gannett of Sharon, Mass. She was pensioned and received a grant of land for her ser- vices as a revolutionary soldier.

Those who know the young mans past will unbosom themselves to a.
 man in his investigation. They con siler woman means well, but inquire sider woman means will, but inquire ply because a young man has become engaged to a mans daughter does not make sure of his being approved. If a man does not measure up to his standard he calls off the affair-nips it in the bud. Where one daughter would defy a parent, nine hundred and ninety nine would cry a little at the onset but conclude that his judg- ment was best. It is nuch better for a young man to find out what father thinks ere he staunchly announces his engagement to his daughter, realizing that the other man whose ttyea is yea,'' and whose may is nay" has something to say about that. That's the reason why many an engagement is called off.

 We hope each and all will surely appreciate 1t and that none of them will have a grouch, when they wear the knitted things. Soldier boys who wear them will consider themselves lucky, and vote the little busy ladies, vote of thanks.

mond-shape, her hair drawn tightly back to the usual knob stuck through with glittering pins, her body wrapt more or less lightly in a gay kimono, her white feet sliding in tiny slippers, she flirted behind her fan across the tiny stage.
 And then, her turn done, she would step down and come to take drink at a tiny table-and make love in her extremely broken English, French, or what not-she could speak brokenly in almost every European language, though I never heard anybody tackle her in Japanese:
 And as the cracked piano rattled through the latest chansonette or you listened with one ear to more than usually daring ballad by ''The Poet of the Street. into the other ear she poured flood of interesting gossip about Europe and Japan.

 The part of the officer or civilian who happened to be sitting at the table was that of a 1istener-or so it seemed at the moment. When the man got home he would discover that in 8 few moments when he pushed word in he had told her far more than he meant to tell.

 Messages for Berlin.
 Imagine, then, how dangerous she was! And imagine how much more dangerous she was when she had be- come intimate with man, and could oversee his correspondence, or take him at that awkward moment or half waking, when the senses are lulled and the tongue is loosened!
 Oh, there were not secrets from Mata Hari, and you may guess that it was sometimes not g. gull but a con- federate who slipped drink with her, and that most interesting dispatches, under number that stood for Mar guerite zelle, went from the German Embassy in GParis to W1lhelmstrasse, Berlin. On one occasion at a cafe she told me that she was, or had been, the wife of an English officer named Macleod. But when I met her next she denied the fact, and said she had been kid ding'' me.
 Though she could not dance very well, Mata Harf could be most fas- cinating. I think that the 1opportuni- ties she sought could not be found in our music halls, and she decided that our cafes and restaurants were more useful.
 When She Was in England. To my surprise, in the West End cafe, though her English was more broken than ever, she spoke French quite perfectly. but of German, God bless you! not word.
 I can see her now, with her dark, flashing eyes and strongly-marked features, hemmsd in the company of khaki-clad men, flushed and merry.
