TON OF LETTERS FAILS TO
 SHAKE SERGEANT'S VIEW


 Der the poem Daughters of Eve which was printed in The News two or three weeks ago. The poem was written by Sergeant Covington of 153rd Inf, stationed at Camp Beaure- gard and appeared originally in "Trench and Camp" paper publish ed at New Orleans for the soldiers at Camp Beauregard. The poem seems to have caused considerable comment as the following article written by "Cupid's Orderly" which appeared in recent number of "Trench and Camp" will show:
 Since Sergeant Covineton hurst in to the limelight with that scatk;ng denuneiatioG of slackerettes, in verse and aimed at Daughter of Eve" he has been the object of ,.eneral con- cern. We deemed it necessary to in terview him to learn whether he had been disappointed in love or merely had partaken of some victory bread sent him by some fair, but inexpert Gamsel.
 Well, we found the sergeant en- sconced behind his table checking pay rolls and occasionally glancing at the aftermath-,a pile of letters a foot high.
 In conversation the sergeant re- mained adamant on the subject of the other sex. He youchsafed the firm conviction that any she-person will fall as hard for stacker as for any one else He also advanced the opipr ion that owing to the scarcity of good men at home in this period of nation al necessity man who couldn't win a wife isn't even worth drafting. He said, further, that personally be had never been tilted, as he had never yet met girl who was not a true Daughter of Eve" hence he had carefully refrained from being inoecu- lated by the love germ.
 Cheer up, though, girls; he certain  ly kept squinting one eye toward that pile of letters-a pretty good sign that he's weakening.
 We succeeded in purloining one Of the answers" Were it not for fear of being dubbed unchivalrous, 1 might tip off that 1t was written by Miss Jewell Fortson, who lives in Louisi- ana town which reckon was named for her folks. But that's a secret, so mum's the word
 Anyway, the young lady's reply takes quite a whack at the "Sons of Adam" Here's specimen stanza: And at the aeXt town it's the me
 thing OCT
 He finds him new girl there; The last is forgotten as he flirts some
 more,
 And for Her he has no care"
 But that doesn't prove anything. for, in our humble opinion. there is no such animal as "Son of Adam We hold to the view, without fear of successful contradiction, that ol- dier is absolutely true to every girl he promises to love, even if there IS more than the regulation number.
 If you don't believe me, ask Bill Swag, of the l55th Infantry. Bill steps to the center of the stage to de- liver himself of the following noble and touching sentiments in defense of the honor and integrity of us guys in khaki:

No Fear of Eating Vegetables Which
 Have Been Sprayed

There need be no fear of eating veg arsenate of lead if the spraying is dis continued week or two before the vegetables are to be used. Vegetables may even be eaten immediately after they are sprayed without any danger to the consumer provided they are carefully washed first.
 In order to best control such insects as the tomato fruit worm, pick all in- fested tomatoes by hand and destroy them. taking care that the worms do not get away. Particular pains should b. taken 10 gather these infested toma- toes early in the season. Later in the season handpicking of infested toma- toes will not be worth while.
 Squash With a Tobacco Solution.
 Various kinds of small plant lice are likely to infest particularly such plants as cucumbers. squash. etc. These can be controlled by spraying the plants with a concentrated tobac- co solution, using 1 teaspoonful of a 40 per cent nicotine solution in 1 gal lon of water and in this dissolve a one-inch cube of soap. Spray this SO Mtion very thoroughly on upper and under sides of the leaves, as none of the lice will be killed unless they are actually touched by the spray SO lution.
 A 40 per cent nicotine tobacco solu- purchased from the local druggists <l most towns; however, if you cannot secure this product from local dealers write 10 the Experiment Station at Fayetteville for the names of sources of supply. Nicotine tobacco solution Is put up in containers of various sizes holding anywhere from one ounce to ten pounds. In small quanti- ties it viii cost about 25 cents an ounce, but when bought in larger quantities 1t is very much cheaper. One ounce of this concentrated tobac- co product':will make enough solution to protect most gardens for whole season.
 Various kinds of spray machinery can le used for the garden. Many small gardens will not need more than an atomizer such as can be purchased for about 90 cents. Larger gardens may require a bucket pump costing from s2.25 to $500. A compressed air sprayer is very convenient for most gardens and such an outfit can be purchased at from $500 to $13.00. A barrel pump will cost upwards of $1500.

O0h' I LET INSECTS
 DESTROY GhRDtHS
Inese Pests Are Easily Controlled
 By Spraying.

by Geo. c. Becker, Entomologist. Ex
 pefiment Station, University of Ar
 kansas.
 During May and June patriotic citi- zens who are trying to raise war gar oens Will likely have trouble with va. rlous insects which will attack their garden crops by eating the foliage O. sucking the sap from the plants. Com mon among these pests are such IT. sects as cutworms, potato bugs, cab page worms, tomato fruit worms. and various kinds of plant lice Practical iy all of these insects can be controIl- ed by spraying
 For CutWorms Use Poisoned Bait.
 where cutworms cause annoyance they may be controlled most conven- lently by the use Of poisoned bait. To make the bait mix pounds of bran With ounces Of arsenate of lead powder. Squeeze the juice of one-halt lemon into l pint Of water, chop up the rind and pulp in fine bits and add this to the Water Add l cup of syrup
  oned bran and the sweetened fruit juice together so as to make a dough After sundown scatter this about in places where cutworms have been causing annoyance
 leaf-Eating Insects Controlled By
 Spraying and Busting.
 Insects like potato bugs, cabbage worms, and tomato fruit worms may be controlled by spraying or dustins the plants with arsenate of iead When dusting, the arsenate of lead powder may be placed in four sack and shaken over the plants. II is not necessary 10 have the plants white with the powder. The object should be to have a fine dust we'll scattered over the plants 10 be protected so that the insects cannot get a meal without getting some of the poison
 More commonly, plants are sprayed with the poison instead of being dust. ed. In spraying plants use one ounce of arsenate of lead powder in one gallon of water and apply this with spray or atomizer. When spray ing with Bordeaux Mixture CT some other material for plant diseases the arsenate of lead may be added to the Bordeaux Mixture in place of the water.
 In applying arsenate of lead as a spray, be sure to shake up the solu- ticn from time to time so that il will not settle to the bottom. In spraying plants such as cabbages. it is desira- ble to add soap at the rate of about q one-inch cube to gallon of water in order that the solution will spread over the plants better.

when Uncle Sam needed those rail-

The question OF Government own.

PASTOR DECLARES

"when is a woman justified in lead
ing the single life?'
This is the question that the Rev.
DR.. James L. Gordon, pastor of the
First Congregational Church, Tenth
and G streets northwest. raised last
night.
He might very well have answered
Ii in two words-"nearly always
and pronounced the benediction.
But he had a full house-people
were squeezed fourteen to a bench
and crowds were standing in the
aisles-so he decided to multiply his
words and keep his congregation for
an hour and ten minutes-none too
long for an eloquent preacher.
DR.. Gordon gave ten answers to his
question. ten reasons justifying a
woman in leading the single life. So
broad and sweeping were the an
swers that the minister overlooked
only one situation:
when the woman can't find anyone
who will have her."
Here are some of the reasons that
DR.. Gordon mentioned:
when she Is clearly born to a spe-
cial career of usefulness.
when her love for home and her
sense. of duty to her family are su-
preme.
when she has devoted herself to
the task OF shaping the lives of 9TH
ers.
when death takes the only one she
truly loves.
when marriage would link her
with an irreligious man.
when marriage would link her
with an impure man.
When she would be unable to look
up to her husband with respect and
honor.
when her heart holds a secret that
she cannot reveal"
