FOOD CONTROL LAW

Lever Law Must Continue for Six

Palmer. Would Protect Country
from the High Prices.
the Lever food control law for six
| months after the proclamation OF
peace is necessary to protect the
countr yfrom high prices. Attorney
General Palmer today told the house
agricultural committee.
Unnatural economic conditions, the
attorney said, would be taken advan-
tage Of by scrupulous people to make
prices high unless the powers grant
| ed under the act arc continued in
force. The conditions, he said, pre-
vailed throughout the world.
"Thc conditions in the country i'm
mcdiatcly following peace make it
even moro necessary that the law be
continued than the conditions that
prvalcd throughout the world.
| "Thc act originally had for its pur-
poses the increase Of production and
to protect the people from war time
conditions that result in very high
prices. Since the armiSticc prices
have largely increased and unless the
| government control is continued over
some commodities the aftcr-war con-
ditions may result in higher prices
than during the war ITSELF

Answering questions regarding the
bituminous coal miners strike, the
attorney general said that the depart

other than its injunction suit at In
dianapolis for dealing With the strike
situation
( "The failure Of the men to carry
out the contract to work at certain
wage during the war is the primary
cause" he said, in reply to a question
as to whether the strike was due to
the war conditions.

that under the law the rcsurroctcC
fuel administration could continue fol

A Marine Mascot

Jimmy" was an anteater, adopt
ed as mascot by the 43d Company
of U. S. Marines down at Vera
Cruz. as is related in the short
story Squeak" by Theodore
Niver, of the U. S. Marine Corps,
in the March Boys Life. Jimmy
accompanied tn e Marines to
France, where he was their first
casualty, as thus related:
LAS darkness was falling one
evening Jimmy left his dugout to
explore the front line. He return
ed about midnight, feeling like a
veteran, and turned in. In the early
morning trench rat came out OF
it's camoufaged den, walked right
up to Jimmy, took bite at him
and the fight was on.
st is believed that during the
struggle the rat called for rein
forcements, for Jimmy was forced
to call for barrage. When the
supply of shoes and steel helmets
was exhausted and an inspection
made of the battle-ground, the
wounded numbered about half
dozen. There were also severa
large pieces of rat lying arount
and a goodly quantity of Jimmy!
fur. Of course, Jimmy emerged
victorious plus a good-sized wount
on his left foreleg, bu, minus, alas
his good disposition.
"Yet, in spite of the anteater
i'll temper, Squeak had stood faith
fully by his furry pal, ministerin;
to his hurts, tying a wound chev
ron on his right foreleg and feed
ing him on special diet of assort
ed insects selected for their cor
pulence and succulence. On lon
hikes Squeak carried Jimmy in hi
gas mask bag and trudged aon
nonchalantly despite the extr

Whv She Can Outtalk Him

A woman can talk longer than a
man. says the San Francisco
Chronicle, because she uses less
force in speaking than the man
does. A professor has proved by
delicate measurements that the
barytone singer uses far more
energy than the tenor, and that the
bass singer uses more force than
either.
The difference between the force
used by the contralto and the So
prano singer is marked, and the
contralto who sings in deep tones
uses at least ten times the force
of the thrilling soprano.
The explanation is so simple
that it is surprising that the in
vestigation was not made before.
1t has long been known that the
tenor or soprano brings the vocal
cords close together and keeps the
edges only vibrating by the ennis
sion of air. The bass or cantraltC
leaves the space between the cords
wider open and has to vibrate
much more of the membranes, sc
that considerably larger amount
of air is required and much more
force is expended.
Persons with high, squeaky
voices often seem to be loquacious
and the reason is now plain-they
can talk with far less effort thar
those who take a deeper tone anc
have to use more air to utter theil
words. Thus a woman can out
talk a man because she has the ad
vantage of using from one-seventl
to one-sixteenth less lung power

THE LOCUST COMES THIS YEAR
is DUE TO ARRIVE SOON
SUPERSTITIOUS PEOPLE HAVE ASSOCIATED THIS
INSECT WITH WAR

the locust comes in countless num-
bers, the injury which it causes to
trees and plants is not generally
great. On large fruit trees there
will be little if any damage. Young
trees, either fruit or forest, are cut
or slit by this locust: The injury
is done by cutting or chiseling
grooves in the branches of the
trees where the eggs are deposited.
In some cases considerable injury
is done to young fruit trees, but as
rule there is no great cause for
alarm. We passed through the last
visitation of these insects with
very little damage; in fact, we
paid small attention to them. The
insect crawls from the ground and
climbs the young trees, in many
ceses stringing out upon it like a
collection of beads. Then they cut
into the bark and lay their eggs.
Of orchard trees, the apple is the
Ifavorite, with peach and pear next
On large bearing trees there is
very little injury. So far as fight
ing the locust is concerned, it is
better to delay planting until after
May, as by that time the locusts
have usually disappeared.
On a small scale, when the in
sects begin coming out, they car
be hand-picked or sprayed with in
sect powder, kerosene emulsion ol
a solution of carbolic acid. There
is not much use spraying with
washes or similar application, bu'
the insect apparently dislikes to 81
on white surface. Therefore ;
spray of whatewash will help, ant
a spray of Bordeaux mixture alst
has value. We advise our reader'
not to get excited over the appear
ance of this locust. 1t is sure t.
come in large numbers, but tn
damage will not be serious.
