PROTECTING HORSES
FROM STABLE FLIES
Source Of Keen Annoyance to
Animals in Hot Weather.
Most Logical Method Of Abatinn Nul.
sanee 10 to Eliminate All BREEDING
Places-coaI Tar Sprays
Arc Recommended.

Prepared BY the United States Depart
nent Of Agriculture.)
Stable flies are q source of keen an.
noyance to work animals during the
heat Of summer. Every owner who has
the welfare Of the dumb beasts at
heart should strive to alleviate as far
as possible the discomforts to which
the horses are exposed.
The most logical method Of abating
the ny nuisance Is to eliminate all
breeding places, such as manure piles.
Manure should be kept in fly-tight pits
or bins until such time as 1t can be
hauled to the fields. Pits should be
conveniently located so the manure
can be easily thrown In at the time
Of cleaning and SO constructed that 1t
can be readily removed. It is essen
tial that flies be prevented from reach
ing the manure, but, as some of them
will, even though great care is exer-
cised. 1t is advisable to place a fly
trap on the pit.
The coal-tar sprays used In combat
ing the fly evil in the dairy stable are
also efficient in driving the winged
pests away from the horses. Among
the best Of these is a solution of 100
parts Of fish oil, 500 parts of oil Of tar,
and l part Of crude carbolic acid. It
may be prepared at home at cost Of
about 80 cents gallon. This spray.
as well as kerosene emulsion and 9TH
er fly repellants containing coal-tar
products, fish oil, resin, and oil of tar,
are best applied with an inexpensive
spray pump. 1t is preferable to give
the horses hasty spraying early each
morning before they go to work. This
brings best results from the use Of the
fly eradicator.
For general comfort Of the work
animals when they come from the field
at night 1t is recommended that after
the harness has been removed each
animal be given sponge bath with a
solution Of cool salt water. In case
there are any work gals or shoulder
sores. these injuries should be treated
with white lotion. which is one of the
most healing and soothing preparations
of its kind for use In warm weather.

Many Circus Beasts
Sacrificed For Food

New York. May 2s.--An unusual
phase OF the food shortage situa-
ton in Germany which has Just
come to light is the fact that Ger
man children will look in vain for
the circus OF pre-war splendor dur
ing some time to come The jungle
beasts, which once 30 delighted
them, were sacrificed for food during
the hungry days their country suf-
fered before the signing of the Armi-
stice.
This Information Is contained in
late report issued by the American
Relief Administration. Francois de
Tessan in an interview with Wilhelm
Hagenbeck, which appeared not long
ago in "L'Opinion" of Paris, is quot
ed as saying that HageEbeck's col
lection shrank from 500 to so ami
mails. during the four years of the
war. American doughboys had an
opportunity to see the remnant of
the Hagenbeck menagerie when II
arrived at Coblenz early this Spring
to exhibit to the Third American
Army.
The only foundation for the re-
port that the Germans used his COL
lection for food, Mr.. Hagenbeck is
reported to have said. was that dur
ing the war, ten of the elephants
were killed at Chemnitz, and the
choice bits of the carcasses were
sold to the local butchers. Many
persons have a taste" for this kind
of meat, Mr.. Hagenbeck added.

JAP STATESMEN
/, FEAR AMERICA
Think Japan Is Being Re-
placed in China by
United States

Toxic, May 2s.@Several political
groups in the House of Peers have
Joined in an indictment of the gov
ernment's foreign policies. especially
toward China. AS summarized in
the Jill the Peers expressed the
opinion that the race question is
unimportant compared to the
Chinese question. and that the real
injury which Japan suffered al
Paris was the disclosure of Chinese
antagonism.
The Peers expressed the view
that true friendship between Japan
and China should be cultivated
China should be helped in the lay
ing of foundation for q stable ad.
ministration. They voiced the fear
that Japan is fast losing her po-
sition in China and that America 1:
replacing Japan.
The Jill summarized the Peers
view on the Russian question as fol.
lows: What about our policy to.
wards Siberia? Americas plans are
fast being carried out and as a re-
suit of Americas success in Siberis
1t is possible that the peace of the
Orient will be destroyed. But there
is no one among the government
authorities here who can clearly an.
swer the question what shall be
done with Siberia ?"
AS far as Korea is concerned the
Peers said that the government,
should establish a permanent policy
of befriending the Koreans so as
to give them ease of mind and con-
tentment.

Demand For Steel
Has Improved,
Says Iron Age

New York, May 2s.-Extracts
from the Iron Age to-day say:
Demand for steel has improved
measurably and sentiment through
out the trade has turned for the
better. Some of the change is due
to the failure of the railroad ad-
ministration to break the price of
rails and to the belief that the
200,0 tons grudgingly placed must
be followed by a much larger
amount Here and there slight re-
ductions are made from the March
21 schedule on finished steel. but
manufacturers generally have been
firmer' than buyers expected them
to be.
Predictions OF lower prices are
now less frequent and less conf
dent. Yet there is thus far no dis
tinct improvement in the scale of
mill operations. The business of the
past week is thought much of be-
cause the trade has got on so long
on so little.
Significant contracts are those
just closed by two large automo-
bile companies, one amounting to
more than 100000 tons of billets.
sheets, wire and tubes. on which
deliveries extend into 1890. A third
motor car builder is now in the
market for a large tonnage. While
no formal guarantee of prices was
made on these contracts, they are
considered to be subject to re-
vision on undelivered portions if the
market declines"

MUST REPORT ON
ALLNEW DETOURS
State Highway Department
Moves to End All
Complaints

Because OF the great number Of
detours made necessary through the
unprecedented amount OF road con-
struction now under way, the State
Highway Department. 1t was an
,hounced to-day, each week will
make public through the newspa-
pers list of all existing detours
and their locations.
Assistant State Highway Commits
sioner George H. Biles has instruct
ed the fifteen district engineers in
Pennsylvania to file with the Depart
ment each week complete informa-
stion concerning every detour in their
district. In his letter to the engi-
neers. Mr.. Biles said
The placing, marking, mainten-
ance and advertisement of detours
Is subject of vital Importance to
the public. It calls for the appli-
cation of a more comprehensive and
systematic plan of handling. Tt is
of great Importance at this time and
contributes to the success OF our
efforts. Complete cooperation must
be had from all persons connected
with the State Highway Depart
: ment."
Beginning Monday, June 8. the
ton will furnish to all the daily
newspapers in Pennsylvania infor-
nation of the following descriptions:
Location of detours; description and
conditions of detours (whether State
highway. State-aid, township or pri-
vate road); the approximate date
detour was placed or is to be placed,
approximate date detour is to be
removed.
:. The various engineers in making
their reports will also furnish in
formation of a more general de-
scription concerning their detours.
Post card reports are to be made to
the State Highway Department each
week and a large map has been pre-
pared in the Department offices of
Harrisburg on which the various de-
tours will be outlined. 1t will be
possible for marketers or automobile
travellers, If they will clip the daily
newspapers of each Monday, to Sc
. cure adequate information concern

ARMY SCHOOLS
FOR AMERICANS
About 100000 Soldiers il
France Being Educated
by Uncle Sam

Paris, May 2s.-Uncle Sam is now
a fully certified schoolmaster with
about 100000 khaki-clad pupils.
This is the result of the establish
ment of the Educational Corps of
the United States army to provide
for vocations and academic instruc-
tion for young men in the army.
The Educational Corps is ursder
the direction of Brigadier General
Robert I. Rees. who militarized the
American colleges last fall. Under
him is an executive commission of
three educators. DR.. Frank e.
Spaulding. Superintendent of Schools
in Cleveland; DR.. John Erskine, Pro-
fessor of English at Columbia; and
DR.. Kenyon L. Butterfield, Presi-
dent of the Massachusetts, Agricul-
tural College. In all about 1900 in
structors, including number of men
of high standing in American edu-
cation, are teaching the American
soldiers the way to progress. Every
thiEg from a, b, to university sub
jects and from stenography to en-
gineering is included within the
curriculum of this great and unique
college.
The army schools were in full
operation by January, equipped with
$500 worth of books specially or
dered from America and provided in
part by the American Library AS
sociation. But there has beer a
shortage Of books and often one book
has had to serve for a whole class.
Many hundreds of army schools
have been established throughout
France wherever there are enough
American soldiers to warrant. Gen.
eral Pershing's order required a post
school in every place where 500 or
more men were stationed ard as
the schools had to be opened at
once all sorts of queer places, from
cafes to monasteries, were used as
schoolrooms, until regular quarters
could be provided. The soldiers are
studying in barns, stable lofts. aero
dromes, army barracks and in one
case in a convent. Meahtime the
army is endeavoring to provide ade-
quate quarters and sufficient books
for its 100000 students. In cities
like Coblenz, the city school build
ings are used without interfering
with the regular school life of the
children.

dry at Yawata, Kyushu, will shortly

In 1916, the United States, the
principal exporter. supplied from

to Japan and in 1917 about $4,000
pounds. Though the supply from
abroad will possibly become greater
it will not be enough to satisfy the
