AS OUT OF DATE
AS HORSE CARS
Says corn rings, plasters, razor and
eating salves are taboo
now

Good things should be passed along.
1t is now said that few drops of a
drug called frcezone applied directly
upon a tender, aching corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn, root
and all. can be lifted out without pain.
For little cost a quarter of an ounce
of frcezonc can bc obtained from any
drug store which is claimed to be sufi-
ricut to remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from one s feet.
This is drug recently announced
from Cincinnati. 1t is gummy but
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the healthy
tissue or skin.

$4,000, 900 for Alaska
Railway Work Asked
Secretary Lane Plans to Push
Lines North Toward
Mining Districts

Washington, July 14.-An additional
appropriation Of 100000 for Alaskan
railroad construction. TO close a thirty
mile gap on the main line from tide
water at Anchorage to Seward and open
up the Matanuska coal fields, was asked
Of Congress to-day by Secretary Lane,
with President Wilson's approval
In a statement explaining the esti-
mate Secretary Lane said 1t would COM
plete the line from Seward to the Mata-
nuska fields and from Matanuska juno
tion northward to Talketna. This, he
said, would cover most of the agrlcult-
ural district and bring the rails ia
within a reasonable distance of Willow
Creek and Cache Greek mining dis
tricts.
The railroad is now being operated
seventy-one miles northward from Sew
ard track has been laid southwark ten
miles from Anchorage 10 Rabbit Greek
and northward siXty-one miles on the
main line toward Fairbanks and twenty
four miles on the branch line from
Natanuska Junction to Kings River, on
the western edge Of the coal fields.
All Of these stretches Of the line
aggregating 166 miles, are now being
operated, and the Secretary said that al
the present rate of construction track
will be laid 10 the end of the branch at
Chickaloon, the heart Of the Matanuska
coal fields, by September.

Caterpillar Army
Put to Flight by
Jersey Boy Scouts
Strange Variety of Pest Strips
Trees in Kearny

Kearny. n. J., July IA few weeks
ago a strange caterpillar was discov-
cred here. II was yellow, with black
stripe, and had horns shaped like those
OF a Texas steer. For a few days the
Boy Scout who made the discovery was
enabled to go to the movies daily,
thanks to the curiosity of his friends,
who were permitted TO view the Great
ure at penny head.
To-day the boy was out with more
than forty other Boy Scouts armed with
shovels, brooms and pals and deter
mination which would have won smile
from the lugubrious carpenter and his
walrus. In seven blocks on Midland
Avenue, in the Arlington section OF
town, they filled twenty-five sixteen
quart pals with the sauirming pests.
After being doused with kerosene the
caterpillars were dumped into sewer.
Forester Sees Hope
The boys volunteered for the work
end will continue it until Kearny is re-
lieved of its plague. If the caterpillars
are exterminated, Town Forester Alex
Fraser says that the trees will put out
new leaves later in the year.
At present the town presents dis
nal appearance. Trees and shrubbery
are as bare as in the bleakest days OF
/ February Streets that were veritable
arcades Of foliage stretch their dusty
/ lengths beneath naked boughs on which
/ only a tracery of green stems remains.
When the pests had got well into
| their work of stripping the trees the
| Shade Tree Commission attacked them
with a spray of arsenate Of lead, and
| promised that the diet would transform
/ the entire horde into good caterpilars.
/ 1t rained that night and washed of all
Z the arsenate of lead.
/ Townspeople were noe discouraged
/ however, at bearing the patter of rain
/ on their roofs. They knew that cater
pillars fed on the top surface OF the
. leaves, and so would be washed of
/ along with the arsenate of lead and
drown ignobly in the cutters.
Made Strategic Retreat
I No bedraggled remains met their
view in the morning, however. As
usual. myriads of voracious insects At
tackled the succulent foliage. Each
canny caterpillar on the approach of
the shower had sought shelter on the
under side of his leaf and was stirring
at an early hour to make a breakfast
off his umbrella.
4 Then came a high wind. and again
Kearny plucked up hope. 1t blew the
catherpillsrs off the trees and into gar
dens. Fruit trees, vegetables and flow
ors went the way OF the shade trees
/ Now the whiskered gourmands have in
vaded houses. They are 10 be found in
cupboards and beds, and Kearny has
placed its hope in the Boy Scouts.
The town forester says that the
caterpillars are seyenth-year adventists
and for the next six years Kearny will
be free Of them.

League to Aid Negroes
Will Ask Cities to Help in
Keeping Track of Migrants

l.. Hollingsworth Wood. chairman of
the National League on Urban Condi-
tions Among Negroes, announced
yesterday that the league would seek
the cooperation Of municipal authori-
ties in every city affected by the North
ward migration of negroes. Detroit is
registering the blacks who come in at
the rate Of 100 a day. and a commit
tee helps the newcomers and keeps
track of their movements.
Such action on the part of a city
with a negro problem does much to
prevent the accumulation Of such
hatred as broke in East St. Louis, Mr..
Wood said, and, if the same tactics
were adopted by other cities the in
fux of negroes would lose its present
menace.
The first migrants, he said, were re-
spending TO the propaganda of North
ern employers who were short Of la
Dor. The rest followed i'm blind con-
fidence that up North there were big
wages to be had for light work.
