Beeler in this work, that body in turn
paying the expert
Mr.. White, W. NICK. Clayton. Evan
Tucker, and other citizens, questioned
Mr.. Beeler at frequent intervals about
congested conditions on the cars, the
poor service, etc. Mr.. Beeler stated,
among other things, that car service
in all cities of the country is now bad,
and that congestion was difficult to
overcome. He believed that the re-
turn of Government departments to
their old work hours. instead Of fol-.
lowing the STAGGERED hours" plan,
as during the influenza epidemic, will
lead to further congestion.
Mr.. Beeler admitted, in answer to
Mr.. ClaytOn's questions. that the I'M
seryiceable condition of cars in Wash
ingtoh has much to do with delays in
traffic and with crOwding Of cars He
said that equipment has been neglect
ed owing to inability to get compe-
tent employees.
The Standing Passenger.
Mr.. Clayton wanted to know from
Mr.. BeeIer whether passengers who
are compelled to stand should pay as
much as passengers who have seats,
and pressed this idea Mr.. Beeler did
not think that it would be easy to
make one rate for standing passen-
gers and another for those seated.
General Kutz finally chopped of this
line OF questioning by ruling II as
not pertinent to the hearing.
Commissioner Gardiner asked some
questions regarding the best policy to
be pursued regarding free transfers II
the finances Of the companies should
really demand increased revenues
whether it would be better to charge
for transfers or increase the fat fare
to all patrons.
Mr.. Gardeners view seemed to be
that ii would be far better to charge
for transfers than be compelled to i'm
pose increased fare on the entire pub
lie; that is, that the benefciaries OF a
transfer should pay, IL necessary,
father than raise the fiat rate.
Mr.. Beeler thought that would de-
pend on the exact financial condition
Of the companies and the amount OF
money that had to be raised. AS
general proposition he preferred free
transfers, with increased rates if
necessary.
Mr.. Beeler, however, announced
himself as favoring the zone sys-
tenn" by which car users will pay
for the mileage they ride. It had
been successful In Europe, he said,
syen in war times. He admitted that

had no dispatches bearing on the re-

important Stages in the Life Cycle Hessian Fly.

These safety dates are only approx
mate and serve to show in general
way about the time when the fall
brood Of the fly viii have largely dis
appeared from the wheat belt east OF
the Mississippi river. As the larger
part of the fall brood appears and IS
gone within week. II IS possible for
farmer TO time his seeding opera
lions 50 as TO avoid the fly.
Rotating Crops is Effective.
Crop rotation is an efficient control
as during the season OF migration. IN
less new unaffected fields are near BY,
most Of the insects succurnb. Rotaf-
ing the crops decreases the available
supply of new host plants.
Destruction of volunteer grain
plants by blowing, disking. or other
tiliage operations must begin before
the larvae have matured in order TO
be effective. as volunteer wheat ordi-
nariiy is a prolific distributor OF dy
Infection. Enricting the soil by plow-
ing under the green cover crops and
by applying stable manure also AID
indirectly in combating the fly because
a fertile soil will produce plants that
soon attain vigorous, healthy growth
and are better able 10 resist diseases
than those grown on thin soils where
il is hard TO develop sufficient growth
TO withstand the winter if the wheat
is sown late.
Good seed is a prerequisite in Sc
curing healthy vigorous growth. Or
dinarily the fly is avoided where good
seed is sown In a thoroughly prepared
fertile soil after the majority Of the
fall brood has disappeared. It IS pref
erabIe TO SOW on ground not devoted
to wheat the preceding year. In the
case OF spring wheat. the earlier the
grain is sown the less ii viii suffer
from the Hessian fly, but good seed
and a well prepared, fertile sell are
as essential in this case az elsewhere.

The Hessian dy, a minute wheat
parasite, less than knee-high 20 a
srasshopper, but gigantic as fierce
lion in its destructiveness. collects
$50, 100000 q year from American
wheat growers. This mosquito-like
ny lays its eggs upon the leaves or
wheat, and after the eggs hatch the
little maggpts live upon the plants
sap which they obtain by gnawing IN
TO the soft portion Of the stem. Orui-
nariiy two, or sometimes three or
more, generations of the insect occur
during a year. The main army or
flies arrives i'm the fall and conducts
n carnival OF iespoliation among the
newly seeded grain. After the Hessian
Nv has once thoroughly infested
crep OF wheat there is no known
means Of saving the grain. and the
only known method of preventing dam
age from the fly is to keep such inyad-
ers cut OF the wheat.
Safe Dates for Seeding.
One of the E,ost effective means OF
escaping hy di,Inage is TO defer fall
seeding until danger OF molestation
from the fly is over. Safety Oates for
seeding wheat in different sections OF
the country are as follows
Northern Michigan, soon after Sep
TENDER / :: in southern Michigan. and
northern Ohio. about September ID; In
southern Ohio. after the first week in
October; in Kentucky and Tennessee.
October 10 to 20; in Georgia and South
Carolina. October 25 to November f6;
IN extreme southern Kansas and north
ern Oklahoma. as well as in Virginia.
after, the first week in October. DC
s0ber-sown wheat always enjoys the
greatest freedom from the fly in Mis-
S0uri. Practically the same CORE
spending delay in wheat sowing in the
fail should be followed TO the south
ward.

await the overpowering assault. until,
leaving the safety of their shelters,
face to face with death, they must
rise to meet the destroying storm.
Such is their life, 1t can be endured
only when discipline has prepared the
way, and when a deep love of the
fatherland and an imperative sense OF
duty fill the heart. The glory is great.
But the highest reward lies in the
proud consciousness of having served
the fatherland more than all others,
and I'm the sense that ones own cour-
age has wrung victory out of the bat
tie. Those who have stayed at home
cannot picture it to themselves too
often Before such heroism they must
bow the head in silence and not talk.
In appraising achievements equal
Justice must be done to all those who
fought like the infantry; the pioneers,
the dismounted cavalryman, the field
telegraphist have equal glory To all
of the same fine sentence in the train
ing regu atoms applies
In speaking thus l do not wish to
belittle what the other arms of the
service accomplished. They all had
the same appreciation and care from
CHIC. The airman, too. shares the
feeling of victory. the deep satisfac-
man has his worth. But he was
not subject to the disintegrating influ-
ences of battle.
The artillery had to endure the
same strain as the infantry. The
longer the war lasted, the higher their
losses became, in defense as in attack.
1t became increasingly clear that they
We're the keystone Of the battle and
the mainstay of the front.
All the same the artillery need not
fight with the infantryman over that
sentence in the regulations. He would
certainly be right if he contested the
suggestion that the infantry is this
queen of arms. 1t was by some error
that this statement had found it's
way into an artillery training manual.
There is no queen of arms. They all
have equal right to the title, for all
are equally necessary. 1t is impossi-
BILE to get on without one of them.

How he rooted up the system of
deep dugouts and insisted that the
German soldiers should learn anew
to shoot rather than to use hand
grenades is told by Ludendorff to-
morrow. He realized the superior
man power of the allies would over
whelm the Germans unless they could
find defensive means more effective.
He then began developing the ma
chinegun-gun tactics which figured so
largely against the allies and the
Americans in the later stages of the
war and put under way the system
of open defense based on concrete
machine-gun nests or "pill-boxes."
