GASOLINE LIKE BOOZE
TO THE POTATO BUG
Amateur Gardener Finds Fluid Is
Not Fatal to Pest.

Gasolene will not kill potato bugs.
II merely stuns them for a time.
This statement was made this morn
ing by an experienced home gardener
who knows all about bugs.
He gained his knowledge in the
very thorough but rough school OF
experience.
Several years ago this home gar
dener had a large field OF potatoes,
also a couple OF young daughters.
Potato bugs came and the amateur
farmer offered his children a bounty
Of ] cent for every bug they picked
on the vines.
Returning to his home one evening
the gardener was greeted by his two
daughters, each armed with a pail
chock full of potato bugs.
Here you are, papa" they said;
I'VE have lots OF nice bugs for you.
They are all dead; we killed them
with gasolene, and we have as many
more up at the house"
The gardener compromised on the
price OF the bounty. and. believing
that the bugs had been killed by the
gasolene, dumped the supposed dead
bugs on the ground. Next morning
the bugs had all disappeared. They
had merely been sleeping of the ef-
fects of a gasolene drunk.

youth-which, according to his own
confession, hasn't been so many years
back-and a shipwreck landed him on
the Canary Islands when he was bare

bore such strong resemblance to can

raced each other up and down the
back of the youthful adventurer.

BEANS WILL CLIMB
GROWING CORN STALKS
Give Corn Good TwO-FOOt Start, Is
Advice of Home Gardener.

Corn stalks make excellent bean
poles.
Corn and beans of the climbing
kind may be raised simultaneously
on the same ground to good advan-
tage
The corn and beans, however. must
not be planted together. Give the
corn about a two-foot start before
planting the beans, otherwise the
growth Of both will be retarded.
This advice was given out today
by a practical home gardener who
expects to plant his beans in with the
corn and train the vines along the
cornstalks just so soon as his corn
has properly grown.
'If you plant the beans before the
corn has had chance to grow about
two feet, you will choke the latter
says the gardener. IF weather is
bad both crops will be held back
and the bean vines will not have a
chance to outgrow the corn and
choks its growth"

The slogan is effective. Gardeners
in all sections of the city are falling
in with the plan. Many home garden
ers said this morning that the funds
realized from their plots would be
used in the purchase of Liberty bonds.
Fine idea!'' said one OF the gar
deners this morning. Il have a plot
Of about half an acre. It will pay for
several $50 bonds Just watch me"
There is no reason in the world
why the average home garden should
not pay for a Liberty bond" say offi-
cials OF the commission Products
from about any home garden will net
the planter at least $50. It's just like
finding the money. and Liberty bonds
are good Investments
The money realized from the gar
den may not be appreciated by the
planter at first, but IL hs will keep
account of the cost of the products
which he receives via the back door
as they are used. he will find that the
price Of the bond has been saved in 4

IRISH PLAN READY;
ULSTER Isl EXCLUDED
Grand Council to Transact
Business Of Section.
PARLIAMENT FOR DUBLIN
If Agreement Is Not Made, Delay
viii Be Long.

LONDON. May 16.-The Times an
nounces the governments plan for
the. settlement OF the Irish question
as follows:
IL is understood that the govern
ment proposals will be in the hands
of the Irish leaders today. The pro
ject is understood to resolve itself
under the following chief heads:
1. Immediate establishment OF an
Irish Parliament in Dublin.
.. Exclusion OF southeast Ulster by
clean cut act.
3. Formation OF a grand council
consisting, in equal proportions, of
members, of the Dublin Parliament
and Ulster members OF the Imperial
Parliament, to transact all common
business between the excluded area
and the rest OF ireland and to have
power to direct, II II thinks fit, that
any enactment Of the Dublin Pariia-
ment shall apply to the excluded
area
1t will be seen that the government
has not adopted the expeditient of
exclusion by county option which for
time fascinated the Nationalists,
Dut apparently hllfaCls lucul no iOu-
ger. Partition Is avoided and the es-
sential unity of Ireland is preserved
by the device Of a grand council
which, II is hoped, will pave the way
for a fuller and more intimate union.
Ulster Not COereed.
The governments reasons for firs.
acquainting the Irish party leaders
with the proposals can be explained
they nor the Ulster Unionists have
declined to negotiate with the gov
ernment. On this occasion neither
they nor the Ulster Nationalists have
any foreknowledge of the official
sources OF the government project.
The government has laid down two
fundamental conditions. The first is
that IL is absolutely impossible to
coerce Ulster in any way; the second,
that II is impossible to carry through
Parliament at the present time long
detailed measures which would excite
controversies. There is neither the
time nor the proper atmosphere for

Conway sang song after song. until
he began to wonder whether the ma
tives were deaf or simply letting him
pour out his loneliness to the four
winds.
But the songs had the desired ef-
feet. Conway and his companions
were released.
"A boat picked us up a few days
later said Conway. The natives
were not cannibals, after all, but they
did look so much like man-eaters that
we were scared lifeless. Guess what
song captured their fancy most?'
The visitor couldn't guess.

This fact was brought out this

more yesterday afternoon for the
purpose OF assisting the labor bureau
Of that city in establishing an en-
ployment bureau.
"I noticed the results of our work

DRY THE SURPLUS
connolly ADVISES
Shortage Of Cans Can Thus
Best Be Met.
MANY VEGETABLES USEFUL
Agriculture Department Agent Tells
How to Effect Economy.
MANY VEGETABLES USEFUL

Surplus fruits and vegetables in a
great many instances will have to be
dried this season. The apparent
shortage of tin cans and glass jars
has directed attention to the drying
OF the home garden products
H NJ Connolly, Department of Ag-
riculture demoustrator, in charge of
the home gardens in and about Wash
fngtou, today issued a statement re-
lative to the situation.
Sweet corn, beans, carrots, cab
bage, celery, and like articles may
be dried successfully.
They may be dried in ovens, in
trays. on racks over the kitchen
stove, or in specially constructed
driers. Small driers to be found on
the market give very satisfactory re-
suits. Some OF these are made for
use on cook stoves, while others have
a metal base furnace.
"The evaporator part consists OF
a frame work of wood or galvanized
sheet iron with supports for the
trays. have wire or perforated metal
bottoms through which the heated
air is passed. Home made dryers Of
various kinds may be used for drying
fruits and vegetables.
materials to be dried should be
washed, sliced or shredded before be-
ing placed in the racks. Most vege
tables are dried without cooking.
Sweet corn is usually steamed or
boiled long enough TO set the milk
After steaming or boiling the corn
Is cut from the cob and placed on
the trays for drying. Root crops such
as carrots, parsnips, and onions are
peeled and sliced in preparation for
drying. Cabbage and celery are
SHREDDED.
after this preparation the ma
terial, to the depth OF from one to
two inches. is placed on the racks.
The heated air passes through and
over the product The temperature
for drying should be rather low to
prevent scorching the product. A
81 considered satisfactory. Material
should be stirred or turned several
times during the drying.
Many vegetables are dried in the
sun The preparation of material for
sun drying is about the same as for
heat drying. Place the material in
shallow trays or platters and place
these in sunny locations. The trays
should have wire or cheesecloth bot
toms. The product must be protected
from flies and other insects, rain hr
dew. 1t is usually best to bring
the product within doors at night.
Dry Storage Needed.
'sThe product must not be left out
on cloudy or rainy days This meth
Cd OF drying requires considerable
labor, and unless weather conditions
are ideal the product is liable to be-
come discolored or moldy.
''The dried product should be stored
1n dry places and protected from in
sects and dust"

FOR PREvocATIoNAL SCHOOLS.

brancn OF the Congress OF Mothers
and Parent-Teacher Associations
speaking before representatives OF all
women's clubs and organizations in
Baltimore last night. Mrs. Rafter
spoke at the invitation OF the Bureau
OF Commerce and Labor. Let US have
classes in which the student can learn
what will benefit him II he is com
PEELED to leave school before reach
