Expelling the Turk.

Civilization will say amen with hearty empha-
sis to Lord Bryces declaration that the Turk
must be expelled from Europe His presence
there for 500 years has been reproach to the
intelligence of mankind and has only been pos
siblc because Of the ealousies that have held the
nations of Europe apart John Fiske character
lied the fall Of Constantinople as the greatest
crime ever committed against civilization
achieved because divisions Of policy and ambi-
tons involved in the war Of today then prevented
concerted action by the Christian nations Of the
world. Since the middle Of the fourteenth cen
fury the soil Of southeastern Europe continually
has been moistened with the blood Of victims of
Turkish cruelty and rapacity, one war following
another, and massacre succeeding massacre, I'M
til finally the barbarian has been pushed back
from the gates Of Vienna to the Bosphorus.
Twice during the nineteenth century Russia stood
conqueror at Constantinope, ands twice the
great powers Of Europe, led by England, inter-
vened and restored the Turk to control OF enough
of Europe to exclude Russia from its warm
water port.
In the treaty OF Paris, following the Crimean
war. and at the congress Of Berlin following the
war Of 1880, England joined with Germany
IN guaranteeing turkeys integrity. thus was per-
petuated the crime Of the fifteenth century, which
confronts the people Of the twentieth century with
its horrid consequences. That German intrigue has
overturned British influence in the Ottoman
empire is Of interest only that 1t has brought from
great British statesman an admission Of what
has been apparent to the world for centuries.
One result Of the present war, no matter what
else may happen, ought to be the expulsion of the
Turk from Europe, and the naturalization at least
OF the Dardanees and the Bosphorus.

immortality and the Wage Scale.

The visitation Of large body OF fallen women
to church at San Francisco, where they de-
bated with the pastor details of their calling, was
in many ways a remarkable exhibition though
not altogether without precedent. Some OF the
utterances there recorded will very likely furnish
argument for those who profess to connect low
wages and commercialized vice and will renew
clamor that was to some extent silenced by the
reports Of xesearch workers. Only one new point
was deveIUed at this gathering-that the girls"
there assembled had fixed $40 a week as mini
mum wage. 1t is well to note in this connection
that an organized effort is being made to estab-
lish minimum wage for women workers in
California. w. ...
In July, 1918, the National Civic Federation
made report that covered an intensive study as
well as an intimate examination Of working co
ditions and wages in New York City. The fifth
division Of that comprehensive report deals with
THE Relation OF Woman's Wage to the Social
Evil" This was prepared by committee COM
posed OF Jeremiah w. jerks, John Bronson Rey-
nolds Katherine Bement Davis Henry w. Her
bert, Rose Sommerfeld, Frederick II. Written
and Florence NJ. Marshall, and is signed by
thirty-seven Of the best known social investigators
and workers IN the United States 1t says in
conclusion
We therefore hold that it has not been salts
factoriy demonstrated that low wages are a
direct cause of the loss Of virtue of working
girls. II is our general belief that
low wages of working girls are scarcely ever
direct cause OF their loss Of chastity.
Such testimony as this should convince the
thoughtful, even il it does not deter the sensa-
lion mongers from their gratuitous attacks on the
millions Of working women Of the country, and in
his instance the insult offered the thousands who
,re employed in San Francisco.

Mrs. Astor's Latest Experiment.

Mrs. Vincent Aston Of Fifth avenue has done
number Of pretty things OF late keeping alive
the social circle of which. she is both leader and
an ornament. Latest Of her adventures into ap-
piled sociology is dinner party at the Astor
home, where the haut ton OF Gotham encoun-
tered and had an opportunity to meet some three
score persons from the less fashionable district
OF Third avenue. Mrs. Astor delivered herself of
some pattudnous remarks to the effect that until
Fifth avenue and First avenue are brought to-
gether as neighbors and not as givers and takers
of charity. we will never be an Americanized ma
ton. Service, and not relief, is to be the watch
word Of the new movement
This is all very NICE but the proceedings will
awaken some curiosity as to what the late Mrs.
John Jacob Aston might have said were she per-
mitted to comment on the gathering It will
also bring into rather high relief the divergence
between the Astors who remain Americans and
the expatriated branch OF the family who sought
residence in England to avoid the shocks Incl
dent to existence ina country so democratic as
the United States
Seriously, Mrs. Astor has approached vital
problem in sympathetic II not very practical
way. Judy O'Grady and the colonel's lady are
sisters under their skin" the world around, and
II the approach can be made without affectation
or snobbery on the one side and without false
pride on the other, much can be done through
neighbory mingling to foster and encourage true
Americanism. 1t will require considerable re.
vision Of settlement methods, but it can be done,
and is well worth the doing

torily Built BY the Farmer
Himself.

College Park, July 26.-ln co-opers'
ton with the several County Demon
stration Agents, the Maryland Agricul'
tural Extension Service is urging the
building of silos by the dairymen OF
the State. When grain Is so high IN
price 1t becomes necessary for every
dairyman to feed his cows some cheap
or feed. No better feed for dairy COWS
has been found than silage. II you
have as many as ten cows on your
place, you should plan to have silo.
A cow will use about tons of silage
in q year and on an acre Of good corn
ground you can grow 8 to 10 tons OF
silage and possibly more. Neither Will
building a silo cost anywhere near az
much as the expensive feeding OF
grain. Write to your County Demon
stration Agent, asking him to furnish
you plans for building a silo and an
estimate of what it will cost. If you
do not know who your Agent Is, write
to the Maryland Agricultural Exten
sion Service. College Park. Md. Your
County Agent will not only furnish
plans for building a silo, but will come
TO your farm and see that the work 10
properly started.
In this connection, G. e. Wolcott
dairy specialist for ths Extension
Service, recommends cheap and
satisfactory type Of silo that meets
the needs of the practical dairyman.
Mr.. Wolcott says: "A cheap silo that
will keep silage perfectly and last for
seevral years can be made by mailing
the best grade Of flooring to wooden
hoops. The hoops are made Of green
white oak strips, one-half inch thick
and four inches wide. The length OF
the strips will be determined by the
diameter OF the silo.
"The material required for the con-
struction OF a silo 10 "a feet Is as
follows:
formulation: - ~ yards crushed
stone or gravel: 2 yards sand; 20 bags
Of cement.
900 feet B. M. No, l
flooring; 120 pieces white oak. II inch
thick. 4 inches wide and II feet long.
Hardware: 40 pounds Of nails;
pieces strap iron, 1 feet long with one
end turned up two inches to right
angle. One one-half inch hole should
be bored Z inches from the other end
and another "a inches from the
straight end"

INJURY BY C0RN.EAR WORMS
Kansas Agricultural College Finds II
Possible to Control Little Pest
by Spraying.

Nearly all roasting ears on the mar
ket In recent years have been injured
by the cOrn-ear worm, and those known
to be free from the injury can be sold
at from s to 10 cents more per dozen.
For six years the department of en-
tomolOgy of the Kansas State Agricul.
tural college and experiment station
has been studying the worm and has
found that large proportion of the
eggs deposited In the summer are
placed on the fresh corn silks. From
these eggs the worms that injure the
ears originate, The young larvae be.
gin feeding on the silks and eat their
way down into the ear, 1t Is, there
fore, possible to control much of the
injury by keeping the silks sprayed
during the silking period.
Powdered arsenate Of lead has been
found to be the most efficient poison.
A rs per cent mixture Of arsenate Of
lead, with air-slaked lime or land plas-
ter Is practically as good as the poison
alone. The dust is shaken upon the
silks from an ordinary cheesecloth bag
or -four sack. Under average weather
conditions four or five applications at
intervals of three or four days are suf-
ficient.
