CAN EAT WAY THROUGH LEAD

Probably most persons who read
the newspaper story Of the discovery
by a Santa Barbara (Cal.) telephone
engineer OF an insect that eats its
way through sheet lead thought It In
the same class with the ancient hoax
about ''the worm that eats steel
nails" which was perpetrated about
q quarter Of a century ago and still
reappears at intervals. One Of the
editors Of Engineering News. however.
has seen the insects, a number OF
which are held in captivity In lead
boxes with glass covers, to see how
long it will take them to bore their
way to freedom.
The insect is q slender black beetle
about a quarter Of an inch long. with
hard wing covers and Of innocent and
placid demeanor. It IL said to light
on a lead-covered telephone cable and
bore q tiny round hole through the
lead sheath and the paper Insulation
down to the copper. Possibly 1t be-
lieves the cable to be a part Of tree
or vine into which 1t is accustomed to
bore holes. and so it proceeds to bore
through the lead as 1t would through
the bark. Some persons think that
concealment Is its motive; others that
the boring process IL preliminary to
egg depositing.
The lead borers have been heard Of
in South Bend. Ind, and Rockford.

A capacity audi ence is ex-
pected at t heCity Hall in Nor
gan City when the famous re-
tail merchandising lecture Of
The National Cash Register
Company will be given for the
first time in this city by Mr.. r.
H. Kennedy, expert lecturer,
The lecture, together with the
feature film, Troubles of a
Merchant and How to Stop
Them" was brought to this city
through the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce of Nor
gan City and Berwick. Reports
from other cities indicate that it
is one of the most interest
ing educational lectures ever
brought out. Admission will be
free.
During the course of the lec-
ture, the great value of news
paper advertising to the retail
merchant will be discussed by
Mr.. Kennedy. BY means of ste
reoptican slides he will show the
proper way to prepare newspa-
per advertisements, how to get
the best results, and why the
retail merchant should adopt q
continuous advertising policy.
The matter Of window displays,
store organization, store system,
arrangement of goods, etc., will
also be taken up. Slides annalyz-
ing the cause of business fall
ures will be shown. /
The film tells in an interest
ing manner the story of Mr..
White, a merchant, who,
through lax methods of doing
business, was on the verge Of
bankruptcy. His store was To-
Gated in an old fashioned build
ing; high windows prevented
the proper display Of merchan-
disc; ;anl the whole appearance
Iof the store was unattractive.
The interior of tn estore was
badly arranged ,and his system
was the cause of the store con-
|tinually losing money. The en-
tire time Of Mr.. White was TAX
en- up in worrying where he
stood financially.
At this point, tn efilm takes
up tn estory of the change in
Mr.. Whites career. He was in
lduced by an outsider to clean up
his store, install a modern bust
ness system land he was soon on
the road to success. How he fl
nally became prosperous is un-
folded by the film.
The lecture contains the best
facts of retail merchandising
gained in thirty-four years ex-
Iperience of The National Cash
Register Company in dealing
with merchants in every part Of
the world. Without a doubt, it
is the most comprehensive lec-
ture on the subject, and the
Chamber of Commerce feels
that every merchant and sales
person in the city will attend the
lecture to gain a better know
ledge of business methods.
The lecture will begin at 8
O'clock.
This afternoon at 8 P. NJ, in
the Opera House, Mr.. Kennedy
will show by the aid of stereop-
Itican views and moving pictures
how the garden idea started in
Dayton, Ohio, and it's wonder
full growth. The gardens in
Dayton, were started in egg
shells. In 1892 the idea was
conceived at a settlement house,
Operated by the National COM
pany, in an effort to reform the
bad boys of the neighborhood.
The little plant were started
i'm egg shells and they grew at
first in the windows of the set

At Newcastle, seven persons, in
Guiding two women, were wounded

pathizers to break into the mill by
tearing down the fence.
City officials have asked for a de-
tachment of state police at Farrell.
Rioting also broke out at Youngs-
town and other smaller centers, but
the big Pittsburgh district remained
almost unanimously quiet.
