CABBAGE WORMS ACTIVE
USE ARSENATE OF LEAD

q
Eggs are now being laid by the butt
terfiies that are parents of the green
cabbage worms. They are being at
tached to the outer leaves where they
hatch into larvae or worms in a few
days. They eat ravenously of the
cabbage. The best control measures,
according to r. B. Cruickshank of the
college of agriculture, are to spray
with a mixture consisting of one ounce
of arsenate of lead to one gallon Of
water, or one ounce of paris green to
ten gallons of water. These spray
materials will stick better if cubic
inch of soap is dissolved and added.
Since the cabbage leaves develop from
the inside, there need be no fear con-
crning the poison.

Great Service at Lou Cost


The strength and reliability of U. S.
Motor Trucks insure long life. The
oversize construction and Floating
Power Plant insure little repair and re-
placement expense. For ten years the
U. S. Motor Truck has been built from
the same general plans, the only
changes from the first design being iii
minor refinements. And the first U.
S. Motor Truck built is running today
Never has one worn out. This is proof
of maximum service. Perfect balance
of the truck plus the Floating Power
Plant mean minimum operating cost
These two splendid features combine
to save oil and gasoline, and to secure
more mileage from tires

A number Of American churches
still follow the custom Of singing
carols to harp accompaniment after

rope. In fact, the first pieces
printed by the very first printers
were carols. In one Of the Oldest
collections appears "The Boar's

that famous old dish was carried to
the table during the Christmas
revelry:
The Boar's Head in hands I bring
With garlands gay and birds singing

"Qui estis in conviviol"
The Boar's Head represents one
Of the convivial carols or "jolie
chansons," which had their place at
the feasts, dances and other gay
festivities Of the Christmas season.
In Shakespeare's time bands of
1tinerant singers used to wander
about the streets and make their
carolry pretext for getting money.
During the eighteenth century
carolry declined greatly, and many
Of the quaint old customs which had
marked Christmas festivals for
centuries became obsolete.

many Of our larger cities have al
ready encouraged return of carol
Ing with much success.
Furthermore, in planning for New
York's Music Week. a city-wide fes-
tival Of music to DO held early In
February, the bureau will have
something more to say about carols.
1t expects at that time to stimulate
a general interest in all kinds of
carols, so that when another Christ
mas comes we shall know just how
to spread the Yuletide message
through carolry.
The origin Of the Christmas carol
is uncertain. 1t is probably as old
as Christianity. Indeed, Bishop
Jeremy Taylor in his Great Ex-
emplar' remarks that the first carol
is the hymn of the angels to the
shepherds in the plains Of Bethle-
hem:

on earth peace, good will toward

wrote to Representative Venable, of

limestone himself and sent the re-

A sailor wrote, "No doubt YOU will
be surprised to hear from me, but I

While walking along the street I

Then, after an entire morning

More lately 1t had been suggested
that they had been sent to America

win favor with those who remember
the difficulties of travel and the end

war period.
So Paris gave up racking It's brain
and decided to laugh. 1t is still
laughing. There is something in the
figure of Landru methodically jot-
ting down in a notebook a record
Of his conquests that excuses a
smile, and the cartoonists did the
rest. Then how was Paris to resist
a chuckle when it learned that these
women-assumed to have been
burned to death-had been made to
take their own stock Of coal with
them to Gambais? And who could
forbear a smile when informed that,
for the journeys from Paris, Landru
always took one single and one re-
turn ticket?

ICED, In tho opinion Of the National
Bureau for tho Advancement of
Music
"1n tho days Of tho Great Regensr-
ator," says a message from its head
quarters, "it was the carol that
brought faith and love into the
hearts of the people. It was through
the carol that the story Of the Incar-
nation was popularized and Chris
tianity was spread.
Carol now, and you will keep the
sweet story Of Christmas fresh in
your heart, and the true spirit of
the Holy Nativity will be yours"
The National Bureau for the Ad-
vancement Of Music believes in
music. 1t believes in its power and
influence over the human mind.
Hence, it believes in carolry as q
form Of music.
Its belief in carols is so sincere

went suavely on:

that is how I bring up NINE"
Imagine the glare with which the
infuriated magistrate received this
lesson from a model father! Later
there came a day when Landru ap-
parently broke down under exami-
nation, when it seemed that peni-
tence might open the lips hitherto
so obstinately sealed. An eager
judge at once addressed him gently.
"Why these tears?" he asked.

Landru, "because my dear wife

believed to be discoveries, fed the
flame from day to day. The public
learned Of a Mile. Mercadier, who
arrived at Gambais with three grif-
fon dogs, and of the finding of the
dead bodies Of the dogs. Landru
explained that he had shot the dogs
because 1t became increasingly diff
cult to feed them, but of Mile. Mer-
cadier nothing Is yet known. Then
it was heard that a sister Of one of
the thirteen victims had been in the
habit Of visiting the menage at
Cambais, and that after her visits
ceased Landru had sometimes called
on her, pretending to be the bearer
Of affectionate messages from his
"wife.p Relatives Of yet another
victim told how they had received a
bouquet Of flowers to which the
woman 8 visiting card was attached.
None Beautiful
Yet Of actual tidings Of any one
Of the thirteen there was none, and
the attitude Of the public gradually
settled to one Of amusement. The
air was full of suggestions as to
what Landru had done with his VIC
Tins. Il was believed at one time
that he had placed them in various
resorts, and this might have ex-
planned their silence. But when the
public remembered that not one of
the missing women was young and
that not one could lay claim to even
the shadow Of physical charm, this
idea was abandoned with a grin.

there is sympathy when, as each

audibly, "Another concierge" and
breaks into heated protestaaoo
against the methods Of toe law.
At times, to the delight Of his
hearers, he will assume an air ~
Old World gallantry. Asked whether

judge remarked one day, whether

paused long enough to allow the
hopes of the court to rise at this
possibility of revelations. Then, with
a shake of the head, he went on:
"No, I'm afraid it's not possible
for me to tell you what her inten-
tions were"
He scored what was perhaps his
greatest triumph on the day that the
judge protested that a certain con-

A- brook, goes on forever.
Landru, the Bluebeard Of
our days, the bearded, imperturbable
lover of ladies of an advanced youth,
that unshaved Don Juan, sort of
bourgeois Henry VIII-he is still
with us, submitting willy-nilly
to daily interrogatory from
which the authorities CLEAN nothing,
opposing to all the questions
put to him, to all the wiles
of those who seek to entrap
him into an admission, the same
quickness of riposte, the same skill
in evasion.
Landru, who is accused Of having
made away with thirteen women,
who is believed by many to have
quartered them and burned them in
the stove of his country villa, this
man is still the mystery Of Paris.
There is nothing to-day which makes
it impossible that, many years hence,
an aged Landru may not be battling

magistrate.
