Further revisions in the milk sec
tons of the health laws. in addition
to the changes recommended in the
report now in the hands OF Commits
sioner Brownlow. arc being conSid-
cred by the Health Department. DR..
William G. Fowler, District health
officer, announced today.
According to DR.. Fowler the revi-
sions will strengthen the power of
the Health Department to prevent the
bringing of unlicensed milk into the
District. and will safeguard the peo-
pie of Washington still further
against disease through the possible
sale of .unclean milk.
The original report. recommending
the revisions was prepared by DR..
Fowler, DR.. Price. of the Health
Service, and Ernest Kelly. chief OF the
dairy division of the Department OF
Agriculture.
To Go Before Congress.
Commissioner BrOwnlOw is prepar-
ing to place the report before Con-
gress. with recommendations that the
suggested changes be included in d
bill revising the health laws OF the
District.
The recent fight OF the Health De-
partment, with the cooperation OF the
citizens associations against the sale
OF unlicense milk. and the high price
of milk in Washington, shows clearly
the need for changes in the milk
laws" said DR.. Fowler
Fortunately. the Health Depart
ment was able practically to eliminate
the Importation OF unlicensed milk
into Washington without depending
entirely on the health laws This
situation may. and probably will. arise
again. however. The Health Depart
ment will feel more sure OF a second
success with revived milk laws with
which to work"
While there is no official conhrma-
ton of the rumor. il is reported that
one of the recommendations in the re-
port calls for the installation OF a
central pasteurization plant for the
District
Such a plant. IL is pointed out. will
safeguard the health Of the city by
thorough pasteurization under compe
tent direction of all milk sold here;
will help the dealers by eliminating
all the individual. wasteful pasteuri-
zation plants about the city, and tend
to keep prices down by quantity pro-
duCtion' of paSteuTiZed milk.

BEATRICE HARRADEN.

Beatrice Iarraden, the gifted Eng fish novelist, was born at Hampstead fifty-flVe years ago tomorrow. She was the youngest daughter of Samuel Harraden, an East India agent in London, a learned man who was a member of the leading British scien- tiffc societies and a recognized au- thority on music. Miss Harraden was educated at Dresden, Chelten- ham College, Queens College, Bed ford College and London University. Her father gave her every education al advantage, in the belief that the girl was a genius and destined for great things Miss Harraden's first literary attempt was g. short story The Umbrella Mender,' and this was followed by several other short tales She was a highly accomplished must elan. Soon after her first literary success she became very i'll, and lost the use of her right hand. Upon her recovery she wrote, with great difficulty, a juvenile book entitled ''Things Will Take Turn" Twenty five years ago her first and most sue cessful novel, Ships That Pass 1T the Night" was published, and i'm mediately became a best-seller throughout the English speaking world.

STR FRANCIS BACON.

The first of the great modern scientists was Sir Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, Viscount St Albans, who was born in London, 35S years ago today. The father of modern science" was the son of an eminent lawyer. He received but little from his fathers estate, and took up law as a means of livelihood. In poli- tics and the law he did not shine, but in literature and science, and es- pecially in the latter, he was supreme. In the language of Macauley, he moved the intel1ects which have moved the world" His philosophical works created a profound impression. and, while many of his conclusions are now considered erroneous, he supplied the inspiration for the reor- ganization and renovation of science. His maxims, such as Man is the servant and interpreter of nature, '' and Truth is rightly called the daughter of time, not of authority" |" still delight the reader. That Ba- con was the real author of the works attributed to Shakespeare is a theory held by many people, but 1t is never likely to be demonstrated to the sat isfactio of the majority of admirers of the Board of Avon-

ANNIVERSARY OF
RED SUNDAY.

The seeds of BoIshevism, which has wrecked the once mighty Russian Empire, may be said to have been planted on this date in 1905, which became known as Red Sunday, : and also Bloody Sunday"
 Red Sunday" which later became Russia's labor day." was Jan. 22, 1905, and received its name because of the shooting of several thousand worBmen. On that day, a procession of 150,0oo workers of Petrograd marched to the Winter Palace to lay q petition before the Car. They were met by a small army of troops commanded by Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of the Emperor, who command ed the marchers to disperse. The workers, who were on strike, were in earnest, however, and desired to get their grievance before the Little Father" and when they attempted q to advance, the soldiers fired upon them. and thus commenced a battle which ragged throughout the entire af- ternoon-
 All over the city the workingmen. led by Father Gapon, a priest who had also headed the procession to the Winter Palace, banded together and attacked the troops. They were ruthlessly shot down. Women and children as well as men were slain by hundreds, and many of the streets of the capital were piled high with corpses before the bloody work was finished.
 NI,O 4 all over Russia, and revolutions start ed everywhere, but the soldiers had little difficulty in quelling the un- armed and unorganized mobs. But the fire that was kindled then has been smoldering, even through the first bloody years of the war, when Russias fighting men went to face the German foe, and the flame of revolution burst forth in all its fury
 on that fatal day when the proui
 Romanoff Car was cast from his throne.
 While the Petrograd butchery on that January day in 1905, was at its height, one regiment from Moscow ordered to attack the rioters, threv down it's arms and refused to obey the commands of the officers. These were the type of men who later pu

 Nicholas Romanoff. the tragic fig ure in the background of all the trag ic happenings of Bloody Sunday was not even in the Winter Palac 1 on that fatal day. and he knew noth. 1 ing of the massacre until 1t was over 1 But he was the supreme representa-
 tive of those who had oppressed tn | Russian people, and 1t is as such tha he met his sad end before a Bolshe 1 vik firing squad.

AMERICAN FORCES
 LEAVE QUEENSTOWN

Queenstown. Ireland, Jan. p. - Correspondents of the Associated Press)-Plans for the dismantling of the American naval stations in and around Queenstown are going for $ard rapidly. Time will be required to remove the base hospital at White point, and much work will be in volved in removing the many big warehouses which were brought here from America and set up In record time. Other important parts of the American plant include wireless sta tons at Queenstown and Aglada and many hutments.
 American officers and men have made & deep impression on the peo- pie of Queenstown and in other parts of South Ireland. and relations gen. erally have been of the most cordial nature. This Is proved by the fact that a number of weddings have al ready taken place. and more than one American sailor has promised to return for the girl he must leave be- hind.
 Queenstown has prospered greatly since that station was established d here, but the people declare their re- gret in seeing the Americans depart Is because they have become accus- toned to their presence and like them for the fine young fellows they | are.

WINTER OR DORMANT SPRAYING
There has probably been more loss

There has probably been more loss caused by the various scales, such as San Jose, Oyster Shell, and Scurvy. than any other of the insect pests attacking fruit trees San Jose scale will kill young trees in two or three years and increases so rapidly that old trees must be sprayed annually if this pest Is to be kept under con- trol. The scale is so small in Itself that the tree is often killed before those unfamiliar with 1t are aware of its presence, according to G. M. Codding, special agent in Entomology for the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture with offices at Hartford, Conn.
 No practical control by spraying has been found for summer use with out injuring the tree. This pest must be fought while the trees are dor mant. Where trees are badly in- fested, they should be sprayed twice: once in the early winter and again in the late winter or early spring, just as the buds begin to swell. Trees only slightly infested need but one spraying and that should be given in the early spring. The spraying should be thorough and great care
 taken to see that every inch of bark on the tree is covered.
 There are several spray matrials which are effective, such as lime sul- phur solution. miscible oils, kerosene emulsion, or whale oil soap. Probably | the most practical of these and the one most suited for general use is | lime sulphur which not only kills the scales but also Is a big help in con- 1 trolling many of the fungus diseases, l Lime sulphur may be made at home | or purchased in a concentrated form | ready for use after diluttng with water. It should be used at the rate
 of one part lime sulphur to nine parts
 of water; that is, five gallons of lime sulphur will make enough spray when diluted with water. to fill a fifty
 gallon barrel pump.
 | Fruit trees can be sprayed at any l time during the winter when the 1 thermometer is above freezing and i the weather clear, although the so- i called delayed dormant spraying in the early spring Is undoubtedly the
 most satisfactory, says MT. Codding

American, who even then was hast ening to meet her upon arrival.
 She had told the truth When the Minnehal1a docked the young fellow gprang forward eagerly to meet his fancee, and to help her with her lug gage. Of course he met Beresford, and seeing the situation, glared at his rival from the northland But Beresford, fresh from facing the ac- curate shooting of the Boer rebel~ was not at all dismayed by sucd man, and promised to write to Miss Miller as he said goodbye.
 Family Noted One
 He kept his word. When the young woman reached Boston. Beresford followed her with letters, telegrams, flowers. and finally himself. And what about her heart? We'll, Beres- ford outshone her fance, to her mind, in every way. What girl could help being impressed by the fmpetuous wooing of the dashing young officer through whose veins ran the blood of Britaln's best? In addition to the ilIustrious Beresford name, he was also kinsman to Mrs. Hammersley Of New York, who was the wife of the last duke of Marlborough and who married Lord William Beresford Mrs. Hammersley. it will be recalled was formerly Lily Price of Troy.
 A Quiet Marriage.
 The Englishman went directly to the home of the girls father in Prov idenes where he obtained permission to marry Miss Miller. There followed g few weeks of merry-making, trips to Boston and Worcester and sails ir ! Narragansett Bay on Dr. Miller's new yacht, the Meteor. They met, these two, in February; they were married on June r at St. Stephens church The marriage, in spite of the promf. nence of the principals, was very quiet, only the immediate family ant those close to the bride being pres. ent.

 HUN SPECIALITY SAVE AMERICANS

London, Jan. 22.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Detecton by British army investigators of Ger man "booby-traps'' saved the lives Of many an officer or man of the Brit ish armies during the period when the Germans were retreating from France. T am convinced" says one officer, that we nipped many of the Huns favorite plans by capturing near Bray a little factory where h. made his booby-traps. When we oc- cupied 1t we learned much from the partly completed traps we founJ lying about the place.
 One of them was an iron plate. This the willy Hun dropped in a road way so that 1t would likely be trod upon by soldier or horse of our ad- vancing troops. The plate was in two parts, with a spring inside, and l usually contained a detonator con- recting with a heavy charge of ex- | plosive. When the weight of tha foot was removed, the spring sprang into place and exploded the detona- 1 tor, and the damage was done, l These spring detonators were the l Germans specially. They consisted q 1 of tube containing a little spring | with Q hook at one end. Attached to the hook was a string or wire con- meeting with the explosive charge Any arrangement by which the spring could be distended and then sudden | ly contracted served to jerk the string, and the charge was explod ] ed.
 "One night I received g. call from 1 our lieutenant colonel who had spent | the day directing movements from 2 1 captured German dugout He tolc l me he was nervous, and believed he l was associating with a. 'booby,' an6 | asked me to send him a squad ot engineers to look 1t over. I went my. self.

FIRST GREAT PHYSICIAN.

The first great physician of mou- ern times in England was Thomas Lnacre, who was born at Canter- bury, 459 years ago today. I4nacre was born 23 years before Paracelsus. ahd was the predecessor by more than a century of the great Harvey. Lu- acre graduated from the medical col lege at Padua. On the accession of Henry VIII, he was appointed the Kings physician, and in hts private practice attended the greatest men of his time.
