Dangers of City Streets.

Apparently the time is not ripe for
the solution Of the problem created by
excessive. speed in driving motor cars,
although the mortality is truly termed
terrifying. The annual toll in the city
of New York alone of dead and wound
ed far surpasses some of the casualty
totals of the Civil war. In Cincinnati
since January l there have been for
ty-eight fatalities. Satirical humorists
have laughingly said that city resi-
dent who succeeds in safely crossing
a car crowded thoroughfare should not
thereby become unduly exalted, be-
cause he has gained only a reprieve,
and in the end surely will be run
down. 1t is appalling to think that the
mere journey from one side Of street
to another in municipalities is really
dangerous and that risk of life and
limb is taken by the pedestrian-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

CAPTAIN MATLACKI
KNOWS NO FEAR
Daring Cavalry Leader Is Terror
to Bandits on Mexican
Border.
ANSWERS THREAT With SHOT
Ability for Coping With Banditry Led
to Speedy Promotion From Ser
geant to Captain During
Four Years.

San Antonio, Tex.-Capt. Leonard
]. Matlack, commander of Company
K, Eighth United States cavalry, is to-
day the most feared American that
Mexican bandits have encountered on
the Texas border. He is feared more
than the Texas rangers who for years
were the only official guardians of the
peace in that remote country. His
men are of the fighting, daring type,
but Captain NIatlack's desire to go it
alone when handling difficult situa-
tons has struck terror to the hearts
of Mexican evildoers who are learning
not to commit offenses in country
where he is known to be stationed.
When Captain Matlack went to
Candalaria, Tex, four years ago, he
was a sergeant. He took station with
his company at a small, isolated COM
munity on the banks of the Rio
Grande. They soon found themselves
in hotbed of banditry, which Mat
lack determined must be cleared.
MatIacl< Clever and Daring.
Matlack found that the leader of the
bandit crew in San Antonio was Chico
Cano, former captain in the Carran-
"a army. Matlack visited San Antonio
alone at different times and met Cano,
informing him that unless he ceased
his lawless practices he would meet
a sudden death. 1t was not long after
that Cano attempted a raid and got
several hundred cattle. Matlack took
up the trail, recovered the cattle, killed
Cano and drove the cattle back into
Texas.
I'm like manner he met and killed
brother of Jesus Renterias, the BAN
dit leader who held the aviators, Davis
and Peterson, in captivity, pending the
payment of ransom money. 1t was
Matlack who outwitted the Mexican
bandits when he went alone to rescue
Peterson and Davis and escaped with
half the ransom money, inviting death
for himself and the aviators.
Takes Long Chances.
On one occasion Matlack and his men
were surrounded by an overwhelming
force Of Mexicans. Instead Of max
ing a stand to fight, as the bandits ex.
pected, Matlack ordered charge, rode
down the Mexicans and killed 35 Of
their number Matlack's men suffered
one slight casualty.
Not long after this cattle ranch
near Candalaria was raided. MatlacE
and his men pursued and killed the
Mexicans and recovered the cattle.
Later Matlack went back to look for
more cattle. While he was riding
around the town shot was fired from
an adobe house. The bullet went Wild
Matlack boldly kicked in the door OF
the house and killed the Mexican who
had fired at him. In virtually every en-
counter with Mexicans Matlack has
taken long chances, but he has always
gotten his man.

adopted
For instance, says J. HI. Puelicher, of
Milwaukee, chairman of the colleges

desires to give $500, he will. pledge
himself to pay 500 annually over a
period of f.. years. The Instruments
will be semi-annual, so that there will
be 10 payment of $50 each
The first payment will be due Dec.

Dates of taking subscriptions have
been set definitely as from Nov. IL to
Nov. 49,
Explaining the easy plan of making
subscriptions to the cause of Chris
tian education, Mr.. Puelicher said that
he wished it understood that donations
would not be confined to persons of
great wealth. One young couple, who
have been graduated few years from
one of the colleges had planned to
give 500 cash; but when they heard
the plan of payments, they changed
this to a total of $3.50.

Battling Owls Make
Kansas Streets Unsafe

Republic, Kan.-The streets
of this town are unsafe for
pedestrians after dark on &C
count Of the nightly battles be-
tween large flocks of owls. Re-
naming in the trees during the
day, they swarm about like To-
Gusts at night and have become
so numerous and vicious, that
they attack human beings. 1t Is
unsafe. for women and children
to venture out after dark.
In several instances persons
have been struck on the head
and rendered unconscious. One
woman was painfully hurt by a
direct attack from an owl which
she had tried to ward off with
an umbrella.
Steps are being taken by the
authorities to rid the city Of its
strange pests. Such "a condition,
it is said, was never known here
before, although owls have al
ways been numerous in this Sec
ton of the state.

Puzzle Over Musk,s Loss of Scent.


For many years now, the remark
has gone the rounds among flower
lovers that it is next to impossible to
get sweet-scented musk. More than
one grumble at the nurserymen for
raising the larger Powered and scent
less variety, but now it turns out that
the nurserymen are blameless in the
matter. The musk has deliberately lost
it's scent; that is the plain fact, and
nobody knows the wherefore of this
strange occurrence. The Field calls at
tention to the fact, and says that no
other case of the kind has been record
ed. It adds that old colonies of the
musk plant which were powerfully
fragrant have now become quite odor-
less. Kew, 1t appears, is as puzzled as
anyone over 1t.

BACK TO NATURE
Agricultural Department ReneWs
Faith in Old Maxims.
Experts Have Come to the Conclusion
That There Is Much More Than
Superstition in "Siens" Our
Forefathers Noted.

The problem of making agricultural
superstitions into agricultural data is
being studied by experts of the depart
ment of agriculture, who declare that
many old maxims handed down from
father to son for generations are not
really superstitions at all, but helpful
information discovered by keenly OBJ
servant persons.
Everybody has heard some of the
old maxims. They deal with every
variety of agricultural operation. Bean
planting, for instance, never was done
by the forefathers Of the present gen.
GRAFTON at the time of the blossoming
of the blackberry bushes. When the
catkins had formed on maple trees
it was a sign from nature that early
gardening might commence. And to-
ward the close of the season warning
of frost was given by the maturing of
cockleburs.
Now the department of agriculture
declares that there is a best time for
every farm and garden operation, and
that 90. ,e tree or shrub or plant indi-
Gates that time more accurately than
all the scientific instruments can reg
lister it. 1t is those signs which were
noted by the pioneers who laid the
foundation of this country and re-
corded in the simple sayings handed
down to posterity Soon they will be
dignified with the scientific name OF
"phenology," which is the science of
phenomena.
Collection of natural signs into the
science of phenology probably was be-
gun with a campaign against the Hes
sian fly. Experts were endeavoring to
determine the best time for planting
wheat so that the sowing would be late
enough to prevent ruin by the pest and
yet early enough for the grain to get
a start before, cold weather
1t was easy enough to work out the
general rule that the season varies
four days for each one degree of lati-
tude, five degrees of longitude and 400
feet of altitude, but as no two seasons
are just the same the rule could tell
only approximately when the farmer
should do his sowing.
In seeking for more exact guide
DR.. A. D. Hopkins of the department
forsook the cold realm of scientific for.
mulae for "back- to-nature" infOrma
ton. AS plants respond to climatic
conditions and not to dates, it was de-
cided that some natural indication
would give the information desired.
It is now claimed that observation
has proved that the best time for SOW.
ing wheat is that period between the
full blooming of tall late goldenrod and
the time when the white, common Jap
anese clematis flowers are nearly al
gones or the leaves are distinctly col
ored on the dogwood and hickories.
What has been done for wheat will
be done for other crops, but the work
ing out Of the signs will be SLOW

even the city gardener have their owl
guides at hand if they have eyes t.
see. Thus has the superstition an(
folklore of days called primitive beer
justified by the advanced science Of
the twentieth century.
