POINDExTER OPENS DEBATE

Washington, Mar 4-(Special Cor
respondence) 1.-THE Government can
not destroy itself. The trust of gov
eminent Is for the maintenance ana
protection of the Government" thun-
dered Miles Poindexter to whom his
tory will accord the honor OF opening
the debate for the opposition against
n pact which threatens the sovereign
ty of the United States, runs counter
to the Federal Constitution, and would
destroy the spirit Of nationalism which
has welded us into the most powerful
republic in history. mo government
can transfer its powers to some other
government over which it has no CON
troll" doomed the Senator from wash
ington. "That is what is attempted
to be done by this constitution OF a
league of nations"
1t was one of those tense moments
in the Senate of the United States
which occur once in decade, Dut
which communicate themselves like
electric currents TO every metropolis
and hamlet in the country, causing
clepching of the fist, a narrowing OF
the eyelids and a clamping of the I'M
der jaw Of every rugged, red-blooded
American who Is willing TO give his
life for his country, if need be, but
who would hesitate considerably be-
fore offering that life to settle boun-
Diary quarrel between Italy and Jugo-
Slayia, or to determine what sort OF a
government should be imposed on the
Ahkoond Of Swat.
Brushing aside the gag which Mr..
Wilson had attempted to force into
the mouth of the. Senate, until after he
himself had initiated his League prop
uganda in the very home Of the coming
Republican chairman of the Senate
Committee Of Foreign Relations, Mr..
Poindcxter gave notice the day before
his analysis of the constitution OF the
League that he would on the morrow
address himself to that subject The
word went out, and Washington being
the Mecca for tourists at this time OF
year, the Senate galleries were packed
TO the doors to hear what Poindexter
had to say. People from every State
in the Union could be found in that
audience, and from it one could get a
line on the psychology Of the Nation
with respect to the League OF Nations
pact which Mr.. Wilson brought back
from Europe by the scruf Of the neck.
1t is a pity Mr.. Wilson, or even Joe
Tumulty, could not have been there
to see the audinece point thumbs down.
Word by word, paragraph BY para

monster, sired by unquenchable ambi-
ton and damed by a PROSTATE Eu-
rope, ran counter to the express pro-
visions Of our Federal Constitution,

finger. When the suggestion was
made by Senator that the United
States was as capable Of becoming q
party to the League pac, as to any
treaty, Mr.. Poindexter replied The

The chemise dress Is boon to al
most every woman, for 1t requires a
sash, and sashes, wide or narrow belts
and. she dropping waistline cover
multitude of faulty figures which are
revealed with unsparing frankness In
separate waist and skirt. The thick
waist appears almost slim when the
wide sash and belt are cleverly ar
ranged so as not to accentuate.
Few women who have attained this
undesirable thickness through the waist
realize, apparently what a top-heavy
look they have with light shirtwaist
above dark sklrt-lf they did all
would abandon this fashion and at
least have skirt and waist of the same

BOIL WEEVIL LOSES GROUND
Second Year In History Of insect That

CPrepared by the United States Depart

Due to the hard winter Of 10I7-1S
the boil weevil lost ground In his con-
quest Of the cotton belt last year. This
is exceptional in the history Of the
weevil, In that 1t is the second year
since the establishment of this insect
in the United States that there has

tested by this pest.
This does not mean that the move
meht of the boil weeyil has been per-
manently stopped. In fact, the net
loss of territory for the year was but
a fraction of the ross at the begin
ming of 1918. Much of the lost ter.
ritory was regained by the weevil later
in the year.
The losses In territory occurred in
Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee. and Ala
bama. The weevil gained territory In
Florida. South Carolina, Georgia, and

fines the waist and hangs at Just the
right angle at one side. Lavender

an added charm in being different from

the adoption of effective measures for
stopping erosion.
Methods Of Preventing Erosion.
Since erosion is due largely to the
rapid movement of the rain water over
the surface of the ground, methods of
preventing erosion must cause the wa
ter either to sink into the soil or flow
away slowly over the surface to
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as
1t falls, there would be very little
erosion.
In order to drink up surface water
rapidly soil must be very permeable,
which means that 1t must contain fair
ly large open spaces through which the
rain water can pass easily, or where
1t can be stored temporarily. Some
soils are naturally very permeable. A
number of ways of increasing the
permeability of a soil are deep plow-
ing, plowing under organic matter
such as manure, stubble, stalks and
cover crops; the practice of tile drain
age, and, in certain soils, the use of
explosives.
Protection of Vegetation.
Vegetation covering the surface OF
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action of the rain and checks
the flow of the water over the surface,
giving me soil a better opportunity to
absid to g9 watefN it is therefore i'm
port Ndet somelkind Of cover crop,
such az eetch, clover, oats, wheat or
rye, be grown on the land during the
winter or at any time that the land
is not used for other crops.
Contour plowing, which consists OF
breaking the ground along level lines
across the. slopes, reduces the flow of
water directly down the slope. Also
in planting and cultivating the crops
| the same level lines are followed so
that a shallow trough is made above
each row. Most of the rain water Is
caught and held in this trough until
it either evaporates or is absorbed by
the soil. Contour plowlng should in.
variably be practiced on all hill lands.
The beginning Of great many gullies
is due to the practice of plowing and
cultivating directly up and down the
slopes.

what of the heavily beaded dresses so
long esteemed, others seek them out

chemise type with Its beading to all

Now that the blue dyes are of such
uncertain quality, and few of the man.
ufacturers will sell them with guar
antee of their lasting attributes, the
dark blues are harder TO find, and
therefore we notice many variations of
the blue shades which have not been
often seen. For instance, the exquisite
horizon blue of the French uniforms
developed in geOrgette makes ideal
dresses for country club wear.
One just from France has an apron
effect across the front made by placing
row after row Of blond footing one
above the other from the hem of the
skirt almost to the waist. This skirt,
by the way, devlates somewhat from
the straight up and down effect Of the
majority and seems to be cut after the
circular fashion of several seasons ago.

the apron, line on the front end ut the
