Plenty of Room. Behind:

A mule was brought and tied near
the group head headquarters and some
one asked to whom 1t belonged. One
of the young second lieutenants sus'
gested that it must be the chaplain
mount. At the officers mess that
evening the joke was sprung on the
chaplain, a dignified college professor
in civil life.
"Where did you get your fine mount
we saw tied up out there this after
noon, chaplain?" queried one OF the
young officers.
"From Missouri" was the prompt
answer, and without flicker OF a
smile.
II think we ought to have the chap
lain head our review tomorrow on that
mule, and we would all come paradine
along behind him." said the mis-
chievous lieutenant.
"There is one thing certain" replied
the chaplain, "you would not crowc
him."

Iona Thinking.

Il heard that Mrs. Gibbs is going to
leave home" was the spicy bit of Cos
sip with which Mrs Parlin met her
Husband after he had parked his little
motor car in the back yard.
"Nor' gasped Parlin, dramatically.
"Yes!" came back his wife. Until
UGibbs gets the house decorated-wli:cll
will be about a year from now, at the
speed he is travelling on the job. And
don't blame Mrs Gibbs. If you at
tempted to do what Gibbs is doing I'd
leave for mothers for an indefinite
period.
1.-THE Gibbs family always called in
expert decorators to do their work
until this year. Now Gibbs is suffering
from an attack Of economy, and he
figures he could do the work himself
and put the saving into Victory bonds,
or spare parts for his car.
"He bought book called How to
Do Your Own Housecleaning.' for ten
cents, and began to memorize the
thing. The book was so full Of statis-
tics and specifications that he soon
became addle Drained trying to figure
It out.
'One chapter was devoted to paint
ing. 1t explained minutely how one
could figure out the surface of the
walls and by multiplying the dimen-
sions by something or other find out
exactly how much paint would be
needed for the job.
''Gibbs figured out that it would take
IS gallons of various colors to do the
work. He ordered up wagon load
Of paint and began.
''When Gibbs got through painting
he found that he had 81 gallons still
untouched. But as he had opened all
the cans as soon as he got them, he
could not return them 50 the paint
man in exchange for anything else.
"Gibbs lost tidy sum on the paint
job, and even more on his wall paper
ing. He ordered enough paper to cover
the side Of warehouse, and when he
got through papering his living and
dining rooms he had them matched all
wrong and the IS rolls left over were
in tatters: He mixed % gallons of
paste, basing his figure on the book,
and had 10 buckets unused when he
fell off the ladder and broke his shoul-
der blade"

poor Gibbs alone with his broken

'She will-unless he changes, his
mind about finishing the work. II he
persists she isS likely to do anything,
for she is in a. desperate frame of
mind"
Parlin reached into an inner pocket
and drew forth little book called

ing" He tore the book into small
screps and threw them at the cat. He
didn't look at his wife, for he knew
she would understand. r.

 Suburban and village dweIlers may not only augment their supplies of table delicacies in an era of prohibi- tive prices by keeping poultry, but the necessary care of the fowls fur nishes the best of opportunities for interesting children in all dumb crea- lures. and many, like the little fel- low in the picture, learn to love them as pets.
 From the sale of surplus eggs come many a Thrift and War Savings Stamp; indeed, raising poultry as a method of acquiring loose change has decided advantages.
 Mrs. Woodside also believes that the pig, when kept under sanitary conditions, has its good points as a promoter of thrift and good living.

Some 20 odd nationalities are repre- sented in the school, and one whole class of non-English speaking pupils is made up of Chinese. All are whole heartedly for America, and most of them work for the money they put in to stamps, both as an investment and as a patriotic duty to the cssszntry that stands wildly in their snnds as the land of tcstice and opportunity.

insects have become numerous enough so that some of the leaves are tightly rolled or curled up, and the insects cannot be reached with a spray, pick off AND BURN all such leaves carefully before spraying. Where the plants are badly infested, it may be necessary to repeat this spray two or three times at intervals of a few days to clean the plant thor oughly. Applying clear cold water with considerable force twelve hours or so after spraying will also help to clean the plant. Nicotine sulphate rightly used is absolutely sure death to aphids and other similar insects when it is brought into direct contact with them. So you can keep your plant clean if you just do the job thoroughly enough.
 Root Maggot and Borers.
 Some of the insects attacking plants and flowers - though fortu- nately not many of them-work in the roots in the soil, or inside of the stems or stalks of the plants .them- selves. The latter are called "Bor- ers." Their presence is indicated by the wilting of the top of the stalk at which they are at work, or by turn ing in color and putting forth inn
 
 namental trees or shrubs through a disco1oration of the bark and usually a small hole at which a sawdust like deposit appears. With fruits and pe- rennials, cutting off and burning the infested top is the simplest remedy. With fruit and ornamental trees the Borers may be dug uot with a sharp knife blade or reached and killed with stiff copper wire.
 When plants wilt, or "do not act right" without any apparent cause. 1t is time to suspect some root worms or root maggots are at work. This can only be determined by taking up one of the affected plants. Then the affected plant should be taken up carefully with the roots and burned. If not fatally injured they can be put back and reset, especially if the large white grub has caused the trouble. Root maggots in the soil can be killed with the use of bisulphfde of carbon. This is a liquid which, when exposed to the air, forms a gas that is heavier than air and will ct culate through the soil. To use ir, make a small hole a few inches deep into the root of the plant, and pour in several drops of the carbon bisul- arsenate of lead may be combined

Wilson and the League.

Seward, Neb., Feb. 2s.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Since the big
talk at the White House luncheon it
is disclosed that Mr.. Wilson inform
ed the committee that the league of
nations would not prevent war, and
that's its prerogatives and powers
were in violation of the constitution
and that our sovereignty would be
impaired, which means that we
would lose our independence. what
further reasoning do we desire for
turning the proposition to the wall?
A government with its authority
crippled is simply no government. I
understand that England permits
the people of India to think that
they have part in English control
DO the people of the United States
wish to put themselves in a posi-
ton that they cannot act as a ma
ton without first having the consent
of three monarchies. England, jap
an and Italy. We were fighting or
supposed to be, for the purpose of
establishing free government and
not to perpetuate monarchy. The
people of the United States will
hardly desire the supreme authority
which controls them or suggests for
them to reside in Europe or be de-
cided by Europeans and Asiafics. If
Mr. Wilson desires to live in Europe
no one has any objection. But the

CONGRESS-: A RECORD OF FAILuRE.

When the Sixty-hfth congress expired by
constitutional limitation at noon yesterday, the
entire reconstructive program of the admins
tration crashed Not only that, but big supply
bills, including those for the support of the
army and navy after June so. the sundry civil
bill, and some appropriations of lesser inn
portance went. down also.
In the face of this situation, the president
obdurately refuses to convene an extraordinary
session OF congress. He insists that his para
mount duty is in Paris, and declines to admit
that lawmakers could go ahead with their work
in his absence. He showed little OF this trepida-
ton when he went abroad before, although his
absence clearly resulted in the omission by con-
gress, controlled by his party and moving under
his own direction, to provide for the country
those things that are necessary for its we'll
being and orderly management.
Taking the S750,000000 appropriation to aid
the railroads for his text, the president scolds
the republican, members because they did not
aceede to hislwishes with the same docility as
did the democrats. His partisan effort to shift
responsibility for the situation onto the minor
ity will hardly serve to exculpate the democrats.
They are at least guilty of contributory
negligence 1t was under their manipulations
that the great mass of legislation was permitted
to accumulate in committees and on the calen-
dar, to die simply because of the physical inn
possibility of passing all the bills looked for in
five legislative days.
II Mr.. Wilson finds it imperatively necessary
to leave his Washington office for his Paris
headquarters, such absence should not operate
to suspend the constitution of the United States,
which provides that in event Of the inability of
the president to discharge the duties of his Of
fee, the same shall devolve on the vice presi-
dent. And Mr.. Wilson has sworn to uphold
and defend this provision.
Last December it was agreed that the alb
sence from the country of the president pre-
scented no insuperable obstacle to the contin-
nance of congress in session. The vice presi-
dent TREMENDOUSLY declined to/assume the duties
laid on him by the constitution and for two
months the government went on with its ex-
ecutve head in Paris. Present exigeneies might
justify a repetition of this experiment, but the
world would have far better impression if the
champion of the constitutional league of ma
tions were to show greater devotion to the con-
stitution of his own country.
If the presence of the president is essential
failure of the democrats to carry out the pro-
gram of their leader should rest with him. How
ever, it is a condition and not theory that con-
fronts us. Mr.. Wilson may put off calling the
extra session at his convenience, but it is the
country that will suffer and the country that will
