LONDON HEARS RUMOR OF BIG
 GOLD STRIKES
REPORT SAYS REASON FOR THE PRESENT OPTIMISM OF BRIT ISH EXCHEQUER IS THE VAST GOLD DISCOVERY MADE ALONG CANADIAN YUKON.

LONDON, Nov. 17.-P)-A special despatch by the Canadian Press quotes the Gossip" writer in the Liverpool Post as saying that it is whispered that one of the strongest reasons for the present optimism of the British chancellor of eXchequer is the discovery of vast gold deposits on the British side of the Yukon river. The alleged discovery is said to be new one but there is no mention of any locality in connection with the strike.
 The Seattle office of the Associat- ed Press has received no confirma- ton of the alleged strike from any source. As far as it is known there is no foundation for the report

Motor Corps Women

ATLANTA, June 4.-Since the order
has gone forth for the demobilization
OF the Motor corps of women, mem
bers of the automobile corps are fac
ing the necessity for readjusting them
selves to the requirements of the fem
inine costume.
Women who have been literally
staggering around in the high boots
and knee length skirts which consti-
tgte the masculine like uniform of the
Motor corps, find that they must learn
how to restrain their stride to femi-
dine skirts that are ankle length and
only one yard and ten inches around
she bottom.
The effort is said to be somewhat
trying, and the attendant discomfort
may start a reform in women's styles.

WEEVILCONTROLs.
AT $S PER ACRE
AWAITS USERS

Experiments in the use of calcium
arsenate in the control of boil wee
vii is recommended by George o. Mar
shall, county agent, in a statement
given out today containing infor-
nation upon application of this chem
ical. Said Mr.. Marshall;
"The Bureau of Entomology has used
the following method with good re-
suits for four years in Louisiana, but
they have not recommended it gener-
ally because some details of the best
method application have not yet been
determined.
Calcium arsenate will not eradicate
the weevil, but may be used as a
control measure to keep weevil infes-
ton sheds, normally, about rs to 80
per cent of the forms that appear.
The object in using poison is to keep
the weevils under control so that
shedding from weevil puncture is not
greater than 25 per cent.
"The best method, then is to begin
80 apply the poison when an average
of % squares in every hundred are
punctured and repeat the application
often enough to keep the damage that
low.
Calcium arsenate is a finely divid-
ed powder and is to be applied as a
dust and not to be dissolved and
used as a spray. 1t will take about
five pounds per acre at each applica-
tion and it will take about four appli-
cations under average conditions to
keep the weevil under control. The
interval between applications will de-
pend on the amount and the frequen-
cy of rainfall and the rapidity of leaf
growth Rain will wash the powder off
if it falls within thirty six hours after
application and it should be applied
again Immediately. If no rain falls,
the powder will remain for several
weeks, but new growth of leaves
would appear in that time and need
to be covered. Ordinarily one appli-
cation every ten days or two weeks
will be found to give best results
Late applications will give relatively
greater results than the earlier appli-
cations. A hand dust gun that will
take care of twelve to fifteen acres,
is on the market.
According to experiments made
at the Delta Laboratory, there appears
to be great promise in calcium arsen-
ate for control of the weeyil. Calcium
arsenate is on the market about forty
cents per pound, which means a cost
of 50 per acre for material for each
