PLAY STAGED BY
GIRLS GOES BIG
AT BRANDEIS
Patriotic League Club Shows
Much Talent in Its
Vaudeville and
PIayIetS.

The play and vaudeville given at
the Brandeis theater Saturday even
ing. by the Patriotic League Clubs
OF the War Camp Community Ser
vice, was more than usual in its
talent, entertainment and apprecia-
ton.
The entertainment has been in
prospect since last September, when
Miss Frances Range, leader of the
clubs, first mentioned the idea.
Not only were the players Oma-
has own actresses, but the open
ing number THE Soldiers Reverie, +"
was written and directed by Miss
Mary Marston of Omaha assisted
BY Caroline Barbe and Beatrice Al
derman.
The reverie of two Yankee SOL
diers (soldier-esses, in TRUTH in an
American camp, somewhere in
France, gave the opportunity for
girls-pretty, clever, character-girls,
and characterize girls, girls of
every type but all of talent, to APP
pear.
0IChGy=OuI DldldSs
Miss Wayne Champagne. as "The
Up-to-Date Girl" of "tight-at-the-
ankle" dress and beaded oxfords
only made better opportunity for
dear little ISIS Hopkins" of striped
hose and "stickey-out' braids.
Ruth Belts and Mildred Jack as
the Folly Sisters, in fluffy pink and
dainty frills, gave an exceptionally
graceful toe dance and Gertrude
Thiems could indeed follow the
"Gypsy Trail" with her jingly bells
and hands clever with the violin.
Caroline Barbee, who assisted
with the reverie, was the beautiful
Japanese girl of old Japan.
Irene Coesfeld, the singing girl,
sang indeed and her costume OF
olive green was noticeably fetching.
The dancing sketch, including
\ Espenita, Butterfly, French and
Russian dance, by the pupils. of
MIR. Chambers was especially ap-
pealing to the audience.
Band of Girls.
For the first time since its or
ganization, the Patriotic league
band appeared on the platform.
These 10 girls, under the direction
of Signor Tolomeo, have many
plans for the future.
Community singing, led by
Harry Murrison, interviewed be-
tween the vaudeville and the actual
play David Garrick," III
This three-act comedy was direct
ed BY Mr.. A. H. Johnston, and go
ing back to the costumes and en-
vironments of the years in the 18th
century, it made a test of these
"little girl actresses" with men and
women's parts.
Ada Ingot, played by Mildred
Joy Mekeel, was supported by Min
ma Stedinger as David Garrick, and
the entire cast was as clever as the
play.
This is the first of this type OF
entertainment that the Patriotic
league has attempted but the re-
Spouse, both by the audience and
the residents Of Omaha, has been
more than expected.
The gowns for these girls of many
types were furnished by House OF
Menagh and the furniture by Or
chard & Wilhelm and the furs by
Aulabaugh.

CONTROL OF INSECT PESTS.
How New Jersey Deals With the
Green Clover Worm.

Lake City, Aug. 17-Mr. George
A. Ayde, president of the South Car
olina Agricultural Distributing Com
pany, realizing the desire of farmers
for reliable information as to meth
ods of controlling the various in
sects that prey upon their crops, Is
anxious to bring to their attention the
following extracts from a letter writ
ten by Prof. Alvah Peterson, of the
New Jersey eXjeriment station under
date of August Z.
In Dr.. Headlee's absence l will try
to furnish you the most recent lntor-
nation we have concerning the con-
troll of the green clover worm, which
seems to be the pest that is attack
ing beans in New Jersey. This insect
may be controlled by arsenical sprays.
We have found that arsenate of lead,
one and onehalf to two pounds to
fifty gallons of water, with the addi-
ton of the same amount of hydrated
lime, is satisfactory, providing the un-
der surfaces of the leaves are coated
thoroughly. The insect feeds on this
surface only, consequently to control
the form it is necessary to coat tn
under surface of the leaves. Other ar
senicals are apparently satisfactory
but we are not sure as to their effect
upon the foliage. We have used cal
cium arsenate at the rate of two
pounds to fifty gallons of water, and
also paris green at the rate of one
pound to fifty gallons of water with
no serious burning or injury to the
foliage. The above mentioned arseni-
Gals have also been combined with
no serious injury to the foliage.
Mr.. Brakeley, Of Freehold, has
sprayed his entire 1000 or more acres
of Lima beans with Bordeaux mix
lures and arsenate of lead. Using the
Iron Age sprayer he has been able to
coat the under surface of the leaves.
Arsenate of lead is not rapid killer,
however, We have found that the lar
vac will not consume the foliage to
any extent after they have once OBJ
tanned a small amount of poisoned
foliage. 1t required forty-eight hours
or more to kill the larvae, yet there
is no increase in the injury after the
worms obtain their first few mouth
fuls of poisoned foliage.
1 have been conducting experiments
with various arsenicals in liquid and
dust form. In a small way I have
found that arsenate of lead one par
combined with sulphur, five parts is
very satisfactory. In fact, that mix
ture apparently kills much more rap
idly than a liquid spray. I have also
substituted hydrated lime for the sui
phur, and find that it is also salts
factory, yet it does not kill as rapidly.
I have also busted the leaves with
paris green, one part, and hydrated
lime, five parts and have been able to
kill the insect. AS to what effect
these mixtures will have on the foil
age 1 am not prepared to answer. We
expect to continue experiments on this
form and can give you more definite
control measures in the future.

BLEASE NOW SAYS
HE WILL NOT RUN.
Says That He Never Had Any Idea of
Doing So

Columbia, Aug. 16-Despite his
statement of several weeks ago that
he was candidate for Congress from
the Seventh Congressional District in
the general election to be held Octob-
er 7, Cole l.. Blease, former govern
or of South Carolina, in another
statement issued today said that he
is mot now, has never been and
never expects to be candidate for
that office" His last statement says
that he had a reason for making the
announcement that he did, and at
present he will let any man suggest
to himself what that reason was.
1t was intimated in this correspond
ence last Monday that Mr.. Blease
would not run in the general cleo
tion. His friends have stated that he
made the statement that he did in Or
der to get the white people to regis
ter in his district so that the negro
registration which is only about q
500 would not be a menace. However,
in his first statement he called on his
factional followers to remain away
from the primaries so that they could
support him in the general election
if they so choose.
Since Mr.. Blease made his former
announcement he has come in for a
deal Of criticism for his stand, both
by newspapers and by individuals.
Candidates now making the canvass
for the Democratic nomination in the
Seventh district have stigmatized Mr..
Bleases' action as "blot" in "in af-
feet an appeal to the negro vote" In
reference to these candidates Mr..
Blease, in today's statement, says
that they should thank him for his
announcement, 'for they would not
have had any speech without it, as
they haven't brains enough to make
an intelligent argument upon impor-
tant issues"
The following is the ex-governor's
statement:
II have never had any desire to be
