Sun Scala Damage. Apple. This Year

There IS considerabIe damage from sun scaid to the standard varieties of apples this year. The frequent rains in the early part of the season. to- gether with the growth of tender tis- sue in both the fruit and leaves. were conditions which combined to stimu- late sun -scafd when the hot weather came on. Sun-scald is recognized by a brown. dried-up condition on the surface of the apple. but the damage is only skin deep. It does not greatly injure the actual food value of the fruit but renders 1t useless for mar
 ket purposes. It can easily be de- tected by the above description from spray injury. which occurs as a rust or roughening of the surface. In the Connecticut valley it has affected

PROBLEM YET TO BE SOLVED
Housing of city's Population Calls for
the Best Thought That Can Be
Called Upon.

That housing the people still lacks
facts to make IL n science was shown in
a late discussion by Prof. S. NJ. Gum
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Among the recently acquired
bits of knowledge Is that consumption
is not n house disease, as even Koch
the discOverer of its active agent
thought, but is one that is transmitted
by the sick man himself. Infant dis
ease, too, is not due to the house, chief
causes being ignorance of the parents,
economic conditions and racial factors.
Considerations of sunlight and ventila-
ton complicate the problem of housing
reform. Long exposure to sunlight has
effected cures, but just what is its spe-
cial influence in homes is yet TO be
made known. Professor Gum is in
clined to credit it with psychological
value, as the well-lighted house offers
such health factors as cheerfulness, alb
sence of dirt and inspiration TO effort.
The actual value of outdoor air is a
matter of like uncertainty. Fresh air
is best for man when Ii can be had,
but experiments have shown that there
is not the real danger in breathed-Over
air we were once taught. In crowded
factory districts, where the supply Of
outdoor air is restricted, feelings of OPP
preston may be prevented by such
measures as controlling circulation,
temperature and humidity. In the con-
troll Of winter heating, education is
needed. Houses are VIGOROUSLY over
heated and the air from furnaces is
not properly fed with moisture. With
air dampened without taking its mois-
ture from the human body and the
furniture, comfort is reached at a
lower temperature than with dry air,
coal being saved.

FINALLY OVERTAKEN BY FATE
Neat Comment Made by Brother
Officer When informed OF illness
of WeII-Known Looter.

Lieut.. Ben L. Maloney, who is a
well-known figure on auto row and
who directed government motor
truck company in Texas last summer,
tells a story of the famous Chinese
Boxer campaign.
"a certain officer in the American
forces failed to preserve the high
reputation of his corps in the matter
of lOOting," said Lieutenant Maloney.
"Whereas most American soldiers
earned the respect and gratitude Of
the Chinese by the way in which they
refrained from robbing the natives,
this one officer We'd with the Euro
peans in gathering loot. He was es-
pecially partial to ancient brass and
bronze vases and jars, which In this
country would be Of inestimable value,
and he literally grabbed up every such
curiO he could lay his hands on.
"One day the star loOter of the
Yankee contingent fell i'll and was
sent to the field hospital. Two fellow
officers were discussing his case.
"'What's the matter with Captain
-T inquired one.
"'Oh, suppose he's finally fallen a
victim to verdigris poisoning said the
other"

Gulfport, Miss, Jan. 6-"They are
coming in bunches," said Director
Clyde H. Osborn, of the Department
Of Exhibits and Concessions today,
when asked if applicants had been
received from foreign firms and in
dividuals for exhibit spaces at the

and will close six months later.
According to Mr.. Osborn elaborate
exhibits will come from China, Japan,
Spain, Italy, Persia, Germany and In
dia, contracts for them already hay
ing been signed up. Thus the Ex-

The great United States govern
ment exhibit, now at San Diego, CAL,

early date. It will be considerably
augmented and enlarged before the

With never a whimper of pain or hate
For the sake of those who at home
