Carrizozo outlook. [volume] (Carrizozo, N.M.) 1910-1945, 1917-04-13

1t is hard to believe that a man
in his right mind, and with the
spark of manhood that should be
a part of his being, could main
tain sympathies with a foreign
country when his native land is
involved against that foreign
country. 1t is hard indeed to be-
lieve that should his country call
upon him that he would permit
his sympathies to overwhelm his
duty and he would refuse to heed
her call. Yet we are told by
men who are recognizedly posted
upon such matters that in this
country we would find some hun
dred thousand of foreign sympa-
thy, whose sympathies and af-
f%ecCions lie with countries be-
yond the seas. These hundred
thousand hyphenates present the
greatest puzzle that will con-
front the nation during the war,
for they must be treated with
the full provisions of the most
rigid laws on espionage. Deten-
ton camps will no doubt be the
ultimate within whose confines
those of foreign sympathy will
be held as hostages of war; or as
suspects if espionage. 1t is be-
lieved that such detention camps
are already the contemplation of
the government and we may ex-
pect a most rigid enforcement of
espionage laws which the pres
emit session of congress will no
doubt pass.

SWIMMING BECOMES A RITE.
Old-Fashioned Sports Made Popular by
Magazine Covers.

Until man learned to fly upon pinions of
wire and canvas, swimming provided his
nearest sensation to flying.
Browning sang:
From worldly noise and dust
In the sphere which overbrims
With passion and thought-Why, Just
Unable to fly, one swims!
Perhaps we may never have another
poet both athletic and lyrically inspired
as Browning was 1t was he also who
exulted:
O the cool silver shock of the plunge in
the pools living water!
Swimming, especially among long ''rol-
lers" at sea, is so graceful a motion, so
healthful an exercise, that we wonder
why it has not been more often exploited
by writers Meredith, De Morgan and
Gasworthy have devoted delectable pages
in their novels to the pleasures Of swim
ming. The heroines of De Morgan
HSomething Good" and Galsworthy's
'The Patrician" were expert swimmers.
Why not a poem immortalizing the Joy
of the swimmer, couched in the rhythm
of his movements? Bryon tried it. But
his few lines were about a boy.
Is not graceful woman swimmer land
we find adopts everywhere these days.
far better subject for poem? How
buoyant, etfortless, grading are her move
ments! The Summers crop of magazine
covers featuring lady swimmers argues
the popularity of the theme, although we
wonder how these magazine bathers man
age to emerge from the water looking as
if they had Just been primped for an
afternoon tea.
Presumably bedraggled tresses and a
spouting, puckered mouth are too un-
esthetic for the poet. Yet in these days
of poetic innovation this objection should
not be an insuperable one. Swimming is
the most democratic of sports; there is
nothing like good ducking to stimulate
vocal expression.
There is no recreation more joyous.
Have you ever seen a solemn group of
bathers? The ability to swim is a useful
requirement. Best of all, swimming is a
clean and cleansing pastime and, since
cleanliness is next to Goodness, indul-
gence in this pastime becomes something
of divine rite-Collier's Weekly.

KNOW THE CARS LOAD.
Method by Which a Motorist Can Get

Perhaps the greatest and most i'm
portant thing a motorist should know
about car is its weight with the aver

knowing the weight of his car when
loaded ready to run the motorist is in
position to regulate his tires so that
they not only act as the best shock
absorber obtainable, but are tit to off

overload.
with the weight of your car. plus
the weight of gasoline, water and
extra tires, with the weight of the
passengers added. you have the total
running weight of your car.
For quick way of determining
what air pressure you will carry in
your tires if you have no regular table
of imitation the following table is sug-
gested:
For three-inch tires divide the
weight of the load by thirty-two.
For three and one half-inch tires d.
vide the weight by forty.
"For four-inch tires divide the
weight of the load by forty-eisht.
For four and one-half-inch tires di-
vide the weight of the load by fifty-six
For fve-inch tires tires divide the
weight of the load by sixty-four.
For five and one -half-inch tires di-
vide the weight Of the load by seventy
two.
"To further illustrate the working
out of the above table suppose your
car weighed $3.50 pounds and you are
using four-inch tires. From the above
we find that for four-inch tires the
weight of the load should be divided
by forty eight This will give you
sixty pounds air pressure. which
should be carried in your tires. The
tire mileage will be greatly increased
if the mUtorist will regulate his air
pressure by the load he arries."-New

these which suck the plant Juices. Eat
ing insects may be killed usually by
spraying poisonous solutions or busting
powders on the plants which they attack.
Arsenate of lead is the poison in most
general use for this purpose. This sub
stance is poisonous to persons as well as
to insects and must be used with care. 1t
should not be applied to vegetables that
are to be used soon All vegetables should
be washed carefully before they are eaten,
regardless of whether they have been
sprayed.
Most of the garden plants may be
guarded against disease and at the same
time protected from attack by eating in
sects by spraying at intervals of two
weeks with a combination of Bordeaux
mixture and arSenate of lead.
Other methods of protecting plants from
the larger eating insects are to pick the
pests by hand or knock them with stick
into pan containing water on which
thin film of kerosene is floating. Insects
collected by hand should be destroyed
promptly. Young plants may be protect
ed by setting over them wooden frames
covered with mosquito netting, wire mesh,
or cheesecloth. Cutworms may be kept
from plants by setting tin or paper collars
into the ground around the stalks
Sucking insects, such as plant lice, can
not be killed by poisoning the surface of
the leaves and fruit, since they feed by
puncturing the plants and extracting the
internal juices. Poisons which will kill
by contact or substances which envelop
and smother the pests are, therefore, en-
ployed against the sucking insects. The
principal remedies of this sort are nico-
tine solutions tish-oil and other soap
solutions, and kerosene emulsion.
The accompanying table lists the insects
most likely to appear in the vegetable gar
den and furnishes information in regard
to the plants attacked and the treatment
recommended.
The gardener should remember that
many plant diseases and insects exist in
the garden from year to year. At the end
of the growing season, therefore, the gar
den should be carefully cleaned of rubbish,
the stems of plants, leaves, etc. 1t is
necessary to burn this debris promptly, as
any disease spores or insects which may
be present are then surely destroyed.

AN EXPLOSION COMING.

Washington will be the scene within
few fortnights of an explosion, the like of
which the nation has not witnessed since
the war with Spain. 1t will blow the lid
off the public delusion that ours is to be
placid participation in the great conflict,
"a little and long distance war" 1t
will blast away the barriers which inef-
fectlves in high places have erected
against the efforts of the ablest business
men between the two oceans to help the
nation get ready for war-business men
who have arrived in Washington only to
find that the work of the Advisory Coun-
Gil OF Nations is viewed with petty sus-
piclon by members of the Cabinet, who
are afraid of being overslaughed or of
having their infirmities become public
property. 1t will disclose a condition of
defencelessness on land and sea, lack of
coordination in the War and Navy De-
partments, mean and Jealous political
prejudice, an attitude toward men of af-
fairs which is diSheartening and disrupt
ing.
When the explosion comes, the country
will be told that all criticism of the Cabi-
net is aimed at the President and ema-
mates either from the ranks of the oppo-
sltlon party or from bankers and business
men who want to reap rich harvest in
war profits from the Government. Every
device known to the demagogue will be
employed to hoodwink the people in the
effort to protect the group of mediocrities
who for the most part make up the Cabi-
net. If the espionage bill becomes a law
without too much amendment it will en-
able the Administration to jail leaders of
the press and the public who dare to tell
the people the truth about the Govern
ment; but war is a time when patriotic
service is limited neither to arming nor
farming.
The sooner the explosion comes the bet
ter 1t will be for the country. The faith
ers and mothers who are giving their sons
to the Army and Navy have right to
know what the Government is doing, and
to criticise what is badly done or lodged
altogether. The brains of America must
be modified and used before we can win
theWar, even though more than one med
iocrity who is today blocking progress
loses his job.-Boston Transcript.

EATING TO LIVE.
Rules by Which Good Health May be
Gained and Retained.

Sdined ana Retained.
Herewith | give a few general sug-
gestions for those who desire health,
writes Edward B. Warman, A Nj, in the
Nautilus:
No one can have the best of health who
eats too much.
No one can have the best of health who
eats too often.
No one can have the best of health who
eats too many kinds of food at the same
meal.
No one can have the best of health who
eats when tired, hurried, worried, anxious
or excited.
No one can have the best of health who
rises late, gulps down hearty breakfast
and then sprints for the car.
When you have eaten do not wonder if
it will agree with you. When you begin
to wonder trouble begins. Say goodby to
it, not expecting to hear from it again.
If you fear it do not eat it; if you eat it do
not fear it.
Be cheerful at your meals. A sour
countenance will give you a sour stomach.
Praise your wife's cooking-if you can
conscientiously.
If you go home with crouch leave it
out of doors, where the dog will get it
then shoot the dog.
The majority of people do not know
how to live until they are ready to die,
and then they are not ready to die be-
cause they have not rightly lived

Musical Vibrations,

We can take the scale of vibrations,
beginning with the shortest wave
lengths that have been measured-the
gamma rays given off by radium,
which are only about one e-hun-
dredth of millimeter long-and end
ing with the longest known electro
magnetic waves, 10000 meters or more
in length, and arrange them in a scale
of octaves like the musical scale. In
the Scientific Monthly Professor Da-
vid Vance Guthrie of the Louisiana
State university says they will cover
just about forty eight octaves, of
which the rays that are visible to our
eyes comprise but one.

GARDEN PESTS.
The Home Gardener Should Make Pro

The Home Gardener Should Make Pro-
vision to Combat Insect Enemies and
Plants Diseases.
The home gardener must count almost
inevitably upon the presence in his garden
of plant diseases and pests, says a new
Farmers Bulletin of the United States
Department of Agriculture, No. 818, ''The
Small Vegetable Garden" 1t is pointed
out that if these are not combated they
will interfere seriously with yields or de-
stroy the plants.
1t is hard for some gardeners to realize
the Importance of making early provision
TO combat these enemies of plant life. 1t
can not be too strongly emphasized how
ever, that such provision is of equal i'm
portance with other phases of gardening
and that it should under no circumstances
be neglected The wise gardener does
not wait tor the appearance of insects and
diseases, but takes steps to combat them
by spraying the plants at reasonable inter
walls from early spring until his crops have
been harvested, or by other protective
measures. He thus insureS himself
against the likelihood of loss.
The necessary implements and materials
for protecting the home garden against
insects and diseases should be assembled
early in the season. These consist of a
substantial hand sprayer and the neces-
sary concentrated solutions, which after
dilution with water, are to be sprayed on
the plants.
The diseases which affect garden plants
may be divided into two groups, parasitic
and constitutional diseases. The parasitic
maladies, such as the blights are caused
by fungi or germs, and usually may be
prevented or controlled by spraying with
Bordeaux mixture. Little is known,
however, of the so-called constitutional
diseases, and little can be done to prevent
their ravages. If some malady which
does not yield to treatment with Bordeaux
mixture manifests itself on isolated plants
In the garden, it may be well to pull up
these plants and burn them.
The insects which attack garden plants
may be divided into two groups-those
which eat or chew the fruit or foliage and

SAVE THE TREES.
The White Pine Blister Rust and q
Warning and an Appeal.

Warning and an Appeal.
The American Forestry association
has issued warning and appeal for
cooperation in fighting the disease
known as the white pine blister rust
that threatens the destruction of all
the white pine and other five leaved
pine trees in the United States.
This disease has already appeared in
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin, Minnesota and in
Quebec and Ontario.
There is no known cure for it. 1t
kills the white pines infected, and it
spreads steadily. The spores or seeds
are blown from diseased pines to cur
rant and gooseberry bushes. They
terminate on the leaves of these
bushes. The leaves then produce mil
lions of spores or seeds of the disease,
which are blown by the wind from the
bushes to the pines, and these, even
those several miles distant from the
nearest bushes, are infected. become
diseased and die.
The white pines in New England are
worth $75,000,O00, in the lake states
S96O0O,00O. in western states S6O,OOO.-
900 and in the national forests $780,
100000, or a total of $261 100000
Unless the rayages of the white pine
blister rust are stopped these pines
will be destroyed.
The American Forestry association
urges people in all the regions where
the disease has been discovered to de-
stroy at once all currant and goose
berry bushes, diseased pines and 9th
ers exposed to infection. This will
help stop the spread of the disease.
The great forests of dead and dying
chestnut in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New York, Connecticut and Massachu-
sets stand today mute but convincing
witnesses to the fact that such dis
eases must be checked, if ~ all, in
their early stages.
The pine growth of this country is
far more valuable than the chestnut
ever was, and the damage the blister
rust may do is accordingly greater
than the injury that has been or can
be wrought by the chestnut blight
But experience proves that the raw
ages of the blister rust can be. if taken
In season, stopped much easier than
the chestnut blight. In a number of
places where started it has been near

pine forests Of America be saved and
not neglected as the chestnut until it
IS too late!-Tree Talk.
