appealed to Draft Inspector Martin
Conboy Of New York to aid him to

him a letter of introduction to the
commander Of the Twenty-seventh En-
cheering corps stationed at Camp
Meade.
Guiteras was graduated from the
School Of Mines at Columbia unlver-
sity with the class Of II. For the
last two years he has been working
for the Braden Copper company in the
Andes mountains When war broke
out between America and Germany the
young engineer, he is about thirty
years old, went to the United States
embassy In Valparaiso, Chile, and ask
ed for permission join the
American forces In his professional ca
pacity. The embassy officials were
unable to make the arrangements.
Then the draft law was passed and

liam @. Guiteras. went with the expe-
dictionary forces to France. The min

The word bunker" is said to be an
East Prussian corruption of jung herr
(Which may be Englished young gen.
tleman) and Is applied to the scion Of
noble house which has always de-
voted itself to military service The
ancestors of the modern junkers were
the feudal nobility of East Prussia, In
habiting lands not originally German.
The military Junker nobility became
one Of the pillars Of Prussianism, the
other being the bureaucracy. Bis

BARS OVERALL MAN
Girl Declares She Does Not Know How
Her Card Got Into Them.

One of the young men employed by
the Lehigh Valley railroad in Towanda,
Pa, purchased a new pair of overalls
and found pinned inside the name Of
young woman who was supposed to
have made them. He accordingly sent
q letter to her. Last night he received
q letter reading as follows:
~ am a working girl, but am max

would probably be the case with fell

BEES POISONED BY
SPRAYING BLOSSOMS

Applying poisonous sprays to fruit
trees while they are in full blossom
often kills many of the bees that have
come to feed on the nectar. Last
spring, reports Prof A. L. Loyett of
o. A. c., many colonies were prac-
tically wiped out by careless appllca-
tion of poisonous sprays. Great care
should be taken, he says, to prevent
recurrence this yeear. The bees

The Berlin correspondent of the

American women have responded to
the call Of emergency war work with
such vigor and success as to leave no
room for criticism or contempt.
Women have invaded the shop, ele-
yator street car, taxlcab field, and
dozens Of other places formerly listed
as "man's domain" With very little
exception, success has crowned their
efforts.
Especially is this true in the muni.
tions plants Of this and foreign coun-
tries. There their success has been
remarkable. In a day Of five and one
half hours woman has turned out
two-thlrds as much work as man has
been able to turn out in day Of eleven
hours.
Experts say that women are more
painstaking; that they give more at
tention to detail and that they are
more conscientious than their male CO.
workers.
Met With Drawbacks.
But in taking up mans work they
have not escaped their drawbacks,
their criticisms, their embarrassments.
The world was prone to stand to one
side and, with pesslmistic attitude,
watch their success or failure.
In Europe, where the women first
proved their mettle, they entered their
various trades and channels Of labor
under less embarrassing circumstances
than the women Of America.
There the man power-the male
workers on whom the government was
of necessity forced to depend-was so
quickly exhausted that there was but
the one solution, namely, the women
must do the work.
Their success is now most interest
ing history. The foreign papers and
even the cables have carried countless
stories of the glowing successes attend
ing the work of women.
They have entered the fields, tilling
the soil and reaping bountiful harvest
by labor which racked their brains
and bodies. Torn and bleeding hands
handled the unwieldy farming imple-
ments, but women stuck to their tasks
and the countries prospered despite
the absence of man power.
In this country, as was to be eX-
pected, the women moved more slowly
toward their inevitable tasks. They
busted themselves with the easier
tasks of knitting, the making Of band
ages and other hospital supplies and
the collection Of money for war funds.
Active In All Lines.
The American woman took her first
determined step when she interested
herself in the first issue of Liberty
loan bonds. In groups and lndivldu-
ally they argued with those able to
Invest in war bonds, and the country
knows how splendidly they succeeded.
Then followed the Red Cross socie-
ty campaign for fund of $100,000,000.
Women again saw their duty and per-
formed 1t. They were instrumental In
obtaining subscriptions totalling far
into the tens of thousands. They con-
tlnued their good work in the second
Liberty loan issue and were not idle
In the interims.
Many prepared themselves for ac-
tual service in the European war hos
pitfalls. Many remained at home to
take the places of those who went
"over there Others knit sweaters
and caps for the boys in the trenches,
while others persistently continued
their quests for more war funds.

standard recommendation is, there
fore, to apply poison spray to the
blossoms of the apple tree when two
thirds of the petals have fallen.
To apply the spray earlier than
this serves no additional good pur-
pose and is highly destructive to the
bees.

Captain Wilbur S. Barker, in COM
mand of the Twenty-third Battery,
antiaircraft Artillery, is at his home,
8 South Nineteenth street, on a short
furlough after having seen service
for more than fourteen months over
seas. The job overseas has been
too big, and the responsibility too
great to make a statement, and be-
sides" said Captain Barker to-day,
there are too many horrible things
that one wants to forget"
Captain Barker has seen service
from Calais to the Italian border,
and from Flanders to the Verdun
front. lie was originally in COM
mand of Battery B, First Battalion,
and later of the Twenty-third Bat
terry, at one time being stationed
at the American headquarters, with
General Pershing. His battery shot
down ten German planes, considered
an excellent record, the best French
record for one unit being thirteen
planes for the period of the war.
From this place Captain Barker
will leave for Fortress Monroe, where
he will have charge of the antiair-
craft units. He has seen foreign serv-
ice for almost fifteen months, and
sailed from Brest, November 13.
Captain Barker served in the
Spanish 4-merican war as a mem
ber of the Governors Troop, and
took part in the Porto Rico cam
paign.

Harvey T. Smith, Deputy United
states Marshal, was treated With
almost the same contempt as the
local police department. Not until
short time before was the
local federal officer notified of
the impending raid. Ordinarily the
