DATES ENDING IN FIGURE $
BAD YEARS FOR KINGS

Years ending with the figure seem
to have a certain fatality in the his
tory of kings. Thus 1888 sounded
the knell of Philip IFS hopes of ex-
tended empire; 1918 was the begin
ming of the thirty years war, with the
misery which the ambition of princes
brought upon Europe; 1923, by the
Petition OF Right, marked the first
real revolt of the British people
against the doctrine of the divine
right a revolt consummated in 1913.
The death of Cromwell put a period
to another form OF autocracy in 1868,
and 1858 saw the end of the divine
right as practical politics in England
The first PARTON treaty, in 1898. was
one of the landmarks in the history
of barter of peoples by their kings
The alliance of France and Spain with
the United States in 1878 brought
another democratic power into full
life. and the battle of the Nile in
1898, crushed Napoleon's dreams of
an eastern empire, while i'm 1905 he
began to sense the pangs of the
Spanish ulcer"

PROPELLER o PLANE PROBLEM
The whole truth concerning our
Delaviland-4 war airplane probably
never will he published in popular
magazine. When a government learns
technical questions through bitter eX-.
pcrienCc it sometimes is neither nee
cSsarY nor advisable to relate the
whole grim adventure.
When an American plane took the
air in France no one could prophecy,
with better than an even chance
for correctness. whether the machine
would return driven by its propeller,
or have to attempt a glide and vol
plane to safety.
A sinister percentage had the ex-
pCriencc of mounting to the clouds
starting blithely after Fritz. and then
having the wooden propeller suddenly
fly to bits!
1t was discovered by consultation
that Allied plane makers long since
had reconciled themselves to the
phenomenon. Sopwiths, Nieuports and
all the rest were hard on propellers.
The cruX of the difficulty lay in the
fact that a propeller is large. 1t can
not be made of solid metal, because it
would overweight the machine. Wood
is by Ear the best material. but wood
possesses the bad fault of having
high percentage of moisture con-
tent, even when thoroughly air-sea-
soncd.
The experts of the forest products
laboratory of the United States De-
partment of Agricultural succeeded in
solving the problem. After series
of thorough experiments had con-
vinCcC them that no paint or varntsh
then manufactured could hold the
moisture content of propeller con-
leaf method of waterprooting wood. At
the close of the war all our alrplanc
propellcrs were being made in this
way.
At the forest products laboratory,
Madison, Wis, airplane propellers
made in this way were subjected to
the most exhaustive tests Chambers

senate has been found effective
as powder spray in controlling
The cotton boil weevil.
An etomoligst in the United
States Department of Agricul
ture, after years Of close study
of the boil weevil and in expert
mentations of summary destruc-
ton of the pest, has found out a
very effective system of poison
ing.
Officials of the Federal De-
partment feel elGted at the pros
poets of early control of the in
sidious pest which has been TAX
ing heavy toll of the cotton crop
so much need for supplies and
to clothe the civilized world.
Now, thanks to the discovery
through science, when Mr.. Boil
Weevil stops his work of pune
turing cotton squares and bOlls,
and ambles forth to quench his
thirst from a dew drop or rain
drop on the cotton plant, he is
likely in the future to encounter
poisoned draught which will
be as effective as knockout
drop.
A number of experiments were
conducted in the North Delta
in Chicot County, near Lake
Village, Ark, and in Washing
ton County, near Scott, Miss. AT
both of these points a heavier
infestation, due to different
seasonal conditions, was en-
countered, and pronounced re-
suits were obtained from the
poison. In every case the eN-
periments were conducted on
comparatively small areas sub
iect to a continual influx OF
weevils from surrounding UNI
treated cotton, but in spite of
this very definite weeVil con
troll resulted from poisoning.
The open cotton in every case
showed definite gain to the
last row of treatment. The
gains per acre ranged from $50
pounds to 1907 pounds OF seed
cotton. 1t is difficult, of course.
to estimate how much larger
lhese gains would have been if
he entire cuts or entire planta-
ions had been treated and thus
he migration of Weevils from
he imprisoned cotton prevent
I'd. It is clear, however, that the
gains secured on the small areas
we're exceedingly conservative.
In the early experiments the
'riplumic form Of lead arsenate
vas used. but was not sufficient
ly effective. and the di-hydrOgen
'orm of lead afsenate proved to
be a better poison for the work.
Later additional tests demon
;trated that a high grade of cal
cium arsenate was still more eff
fective and has the great adj
vantage of being cheaper than
lead arsenate. A number of
tests were made with various
mixtures and dilutiOns of arse
rirais. This work, however, is
still in the experimental stage,
and. according to Mr.. COad, eth
er a di-hhdrOgen lead arsenate
D0N'Ier, containing not less than
81 percent of arsenic pentOXid,
or calcium arsenic pentoxid,
will produce an effective control
if handled properly. 1t also is
expected thai it will be posi-

with some cheaper carrier, such
as lime, though this has not
been definitely determined. The
cost of the treatment is about
