600 Troops Arriving

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.--Although
swamped by personal, telegraphic and
mail invitations which would require
months to fill if all were accepted,
General Pershng thus far has not
been able to arrange his plans beyond
the eliminating ceremonies here this
week of his homecoming. Members Of
his staff said to-day no attempt had
yet been made to formulate his iti-
nerary or the date of his departure
to visit his boyhood home at Laclede.

The expeditionary commander spent
restful Sunday. He remained
in his rooms at the hotel most of the
morning. going over purely personal
correspondence. Later he attended
the Epiphany. Even then he was not
to escape entirely the crowds Of ad-
mirers, fo rthe four starred red flag on
the big army automobile he used had
told people who was inside, and when
the general came out the street was
blocked with spectators and he had
much handshaking and salutng to do
before he could escape.
Many visitors called on General
Pcrshing later in the day. Some had
invitations to extend, while others
were just old friends wishing TO clasp
hands with him. Many who telephoned
for engagements were put off until to-
morrow, when the general plans to
spend most of the day in his Office in
the old Land Office Building, where his

New Jersey Zone
System Develops
Platform Debate
People Protest Amount De-
manded; Try to Whip
Conductors; Cars Far Be-
hind; Otherwise It's Fine

The revolutionary zone system" of
fare collecting, worked out by the Pub
lie Utilities Corporation of New Jer-
sey, was inaugurated on the trolley
lines OF that state yesterday. By
nightfall revolution seemed imminent
Cars ran behind schedule everywhere
Passengers on the surface lines who
had previously read of the corpora
tion's project, said feebly when they
reached their homes, at almost any
time last night, that they had never
dreamed the zone plan could hold so
many points for argument
Briefly, this is the outline Of the
system, which afforded 50 much tongue
loosenng yesterday:
All trolley lines have been divided
into zones, each mile in width. Pas
sengers pay 3 cents for the first mile
or fraction thereof, and cents for
each additional mile or part Of mile
But-and here is where the CORPORA
tion laid the foundation of yesterdays
Babel-they pay on getting off instead
of on entering.
Thus it came about that most every
street corner in Jersey was at some
time or another the scene of impas-
stoned debate that at times showed
signs of deserving the forensic arena
for the pugilistic.
When the passenger climbed aboard
he used the front door and received
from the motorman card with the
number of the zone in which he had
embarked, stamped thereon. Some
persons kept these cards. Some gave
them to the baby to keep him quiet.
} Rooted to the rear platform like
Casabianca, stood that until yesterday
unsung hero, the conductor Between
the instant Of stopping and starting
again. all he had to do was
Call out the street; collect the zone
tickets, make personal rulings in all
cases of lost tickets; commute rapidly
and accurately, how much a man with
three zone tickets, one stamped "two"
and two stamped three" should paw
II he and his family disembarked in
Zone Seven; make change; advise per
sons to watch their step; implore
others to stop showing; argue.
Especially argue. For Jerse
seemed populated with nothing but
"sea lawyers yesterday. Each man
and woman attacked the new zone sys-
tenn with the appetite of corporation
attorneys, examining hostile citv or
dlnance. Some Of them went further,
and attacked the conductors At
times, those who desired to alight.
their number argued his case Then
they would get tired Of waiting and
push the arguers off the car, following
themselves. The conductor always
climbed back on again.
BY niightfall, faint hints Of martyrs
haloes began to hang around the heads
of some Of the heroes in shabby blue,
who met ell corners in oratorical con-
tests on every car platform.
The Public Utilities Corporation
says the real test of the system viii
come at the rush hour this morn
ing. The conductors aren't saying
anything. Most of them cant.

For Exterminating Moths

Experiments of the bureau Of ento-

naphthalene is uniformly effective in
protecting woolens from clothes moth
infection and in killing all stages Of
the insect. A red cedar chest readily
killed all adult moths and showed con-
siderable killing effect upon young
larvae 1t did not prevent the hatch
ing of eggs, but killed all the resulting
larvae almost Immediately. Red cedar
chips and shavings, while not entirely
effective in keeping the adult moths
from laying eggs on the flannel treated,
