ERADICATION OF PLANT LICE
Lime-suIphur Applied Directly to Bod
les Of Insects VIII XIII Them
Spray Of No Avail.

You can't poison "plant life" or
aphids by spraying. The spray which
kills so-ca1led lice, and also scale in
seets, must be applied directly to their
bodies and kill by contact. Strong
lime-sulphur will do the work.
For the tender insects with soft bod
les, a strong solution Of tobacco will
kill them.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 5.-Secre- tarv of the Treasury McAdoo today announced the appointment of Chief Clerk James L. Wilmeth as director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Director Joseph E. Ralph. which was rendered several weeks ago. Mr Wi.lmeth was born and reared near Laneburg, in Nevada county. Arkansas, and taught school there and around Prescott before com ing to Washington to accept appoint ment as clerk. He married Miss Alpha Moore of Prescott, who was also teacher in the rural schools of Hampstead and Nevada counties.
 Commencing at the lowest rung in the ladder as a civil service clerk, Mr. Wilmeth has gone steadily up to the highest place open to the service and has found time to complete his college and university work since coming to Washington. He has been chief clerk of the Treasury Department since the early days of the Taft administration when Franklin McVeagh was secre- tary. His work as chief of a section in the office of the comptroller of the treasury attracted the attention of Secretary McVeagh and he was pro- noted to the most responsible place in the department under a Republican administration, although MT. Wilmeth is a Democrat. The secretary secured permission of Congress to increase the salry to S4 800 per annum.
 The directors salary is $6,000 per annlm and MT. Wilmeth will take up his new duties immediately.
 Mr Wilmeth was succeeded as chief clerk by Paul NJ. Myers of New Jer- sey, now executive attorney of the in- ternal Revenue Bureau.

RED GROSS SEALS ID AID
 VICTIMS OF TUBERCULOSIS

Gov Brough -issued the following statement to the people of Arkansas with reference to the purchase of Red Cross seals:
 "The Arkansas Public Health As sociation is carrying on a very com mendable campaign to place visiting nurses in each county of the state for the care and treatment of tubercu- losis. It is estimated that there are 25000 cases in Arkansas, and last year there eyre over 2,300 deaths from the Great White Plague. The Red Cross seals cost only a penny apiece, and the proceeds from the sale of these seals will be used in provid- ing nurses to treat the patients. Fifty four counties have already been or ganized by the State Health Associa- tion, and it is highly desirous that the remaining twenty-one be organized.
 "l regard this as one of the most cocmmendable humanitarian under takings ever projected in our state. The fact that the camcpaign is under supervision of Dr. A. c. Shipp as president, and M. A. Auerbach as secretary, presages a very useful work being accomplished by the associa- tion."

FOURTH REGIMENT
 MAY BE ORGANIZED
Military Authorities Will Vel come Another National Guard Regiment in Arkansas-GOv. Will Appoint Officers.

Little Rock, Dec. 7.-The State Council of Defense yesterday adopted a resolution that it be the sense of the council, if it meet with the approval of the adjutant-general, that fourth regiment of infantry be organized and equipped in Arkansas, as a unit of the National Guard. While in Washing ton, the governor was assured by the military authorities that they would not only sanction, but welcome any additional volunteer units that might be organized, and that they would be thoroughly equipped with guns and uniforms. They suggested that the units should include volunteers from IS to 21, and 31 to AS, but that men in the draft between 21 and 31 inclusive, could join with the understanding that if they were called they would have to be displaced in the volunteer organi- zation. The governor was given full authority to commission any officers of the new organization. He said that on his return he would confer with Gen. England, and if he deems it wise to do so, an early call will be made for the organization of the Fourth Arkansas. Gov. Brough said that in making the appointment of officers, he would be governed by the recommen- dations of Adit Gen. England.

Special to The News.
 Washington, D. C., Dee. 7.-Con- gressman Goodwin, who returned last week from a five weeks visit to the war zone of Western Europe, said in an informal talk with Washington newspaper men that he was particu- larly glad to have been in Europe dur ing the past few weeks as they have been in many respects the most criti- cal since our advent into the war. The Kerensky government failed in Russia and such authority as remained was captured by the element favorng the Central powers, the great Italian re- treat and losses were sustained. and there was a change ef ministry in France and a similar crisis narrowly averted in Great Britain during MT. Goodwin's visit. 'In spite of the ad- verse happenings" said MT. Goodwin, the troops of the allies remained un- shaken in their firm determination to win and the morale of the men was never better They have proven them selves better soldiers man for man than the flower of the German mili- tary machine which has been in course of construction for many years"
 "I saw thousands of our boys of all branches of the service and they are in the finest spirits and anxious to get into the gray. talked with the men, the officers and civilians of America and of our allies and all are agreed that never has a finer body of men gone into any war than those we are sending and never have men been so well provided for. We saw white bread only on the soldiers tables and money could not buy it for a civilian in all of Europe. Our privates receive a dollar and ten cents per day, the British privates twenty-five cents, and the French five cents. The Ger mans are steadily losing on the west ern front and the issue will be deter mined there, no matter what may transpire elsewhere. A long hard struggle must be anticipated but there can be no question as to the final outcome, we will win"
 MT Goodwin met with many off eers and privates ot the American oversea forces with whom he was acquainted and mentioned among oth- CTS Major Harold C. Fiske, U. g.

NO LET-UP SHOWN
IN STEEL TRADE
Average Prices Now in Excess of
$110 a Ton-Pig Iron
Active
NEW YORK. June IL

W." lOINhs JuIN 10
Steel prices have reached a goal which
only a few months ago would have been
considered impossible. Average quotations
at the present time are slightly in excess
of S110 per ton an advance of more than
311 over last week, while showing increases
Of about $50 and $50, respectively, over this
week in June 1916, and 1915. It is the
opinion in the trade that there is no let-up
in sight.
The markets for pig iron and for old ma
terial were again in competition for the
position of scoring the largest advances in
the last week In pig iron sales of Bes-
semer are reported to have been made in
the Pittsburgh district at better than s56
per ton, or more than IS per ton over pre-
Viously prevailing quotations. The buying
of pig iron has been large and the demand
Is still continuing, indicating that the ad-
vance has not yet been halted.
In the scrap material It is noted that rail-
road material has scored the sharpest ad-
vance. Philadelphia has reported gains of
from 81 to 81 per ton, the latter for iron
rails, and car wheels are materially higher
Heavy scrap in Pittsburgh has been put up
81 per ton, and the demand is keeping up at
a remarkable pace
In some quarters II is estimated that the
Government will require as much as Il, ,OOO-
900 tons Of rolled steel products, and this
has been cause of strength in the steel
markets. The Governments shlpbuilding
program will take large amount Of shin
plates and other articles, and the mills are
doing everything possible to conform their
operations to the needs Of the country.
The best reports in the Government fields
are that Government purchases of cars will
