 Denies 1umiral's statement.
 Emphatic denial was made by the secretary of Admiral sims statement that the policy followed in awarding mOralc.'

 Explains BagIcy Question.
 Explaining Admiral sims mention of a message from the secretary ask ing what rccOmm endation had been made for 'Bagley.'' (Mr. Daniels brother-in-law and other officers of the Jacob Jones and other destroyers that were attacked, Mir. Daniels said the note WAS written one afternoon after all officers in charge of reports had left the department and was written as the easiest way of getting the information. There was not at that time and never has been. Mr.

Daniels declared, any question of fayoritisfn or relationship in the mat ter of his relations with Commander Bagley.
 MT. Daniels said he had no criticism of the work of the board of awards headed by ear Admiral Austin NJ. Knight and that it's recomm endations were faithfully made on the basis of mcagre information in it's possession.

any enlisted men for medals "becausc We had nothing to give them." the secretary called the committees att tcntion to the act creating the awards which he said made no distinction between an admiral. captain and en- listed man.
 Tt is the service he rcnders the service in peril and not his rank that counts,' he added.
 "Thcre are occ;lsionS when a ship is threatened with destruction and when for the moment it's safety and protection depends on an enlisted man and he is then i'll a position of great responsibility and if he performs his duties at that moment with courage and devotion. he is fully entitled to the recognition Of his conduct by the D. ;. medal"
 Cites Benson Medal.
 Referring to the bcstowal of that medal on Admiral Behson because of his services as chief of naval opera tons. Mr. Daniels declared he would give the same medal that goes to that great and distinguished office to the humbleSt sailor lad who. when placed in d position of great responSi- bility that tested the stuff of which man is made, met the demands of those duties and placed his life in jeopardy in order that his ship and the lives of others might be pre- served"

Earthquake PecuIlaritles.

A peculiar feature of earthquakes
Is that they seem to undulate the
ground with twisting motion. This
effect Is quite noticeable In almost
every Central American or southern
Mexico quake, when straight rows of
trees are shifted into irregular zig
gags or light buildings twisted about
on their foundations, and many odd
effects are created In this manner.
Statistics tend to show that the max
imum Of earthquake disturbances -oc-
ours in the northern hemisphere dur
ing the months Of January, August and
October, with minimum during May,
June and July. The southern hemi-
spheres period Of greatest activity Is
November, May and June, while the
minimum Is I'm March and August. 1t
will be noted from the above that the
period Of greatest activity is during
the cool months, and although this
may not appear to be true in regard
TO the Southern hemisphere, 1t must
be remembered that it's seasons are
just the reverse Of ours In the north
ern hemisphere.

FIRE PROTECTION ON
FARM OF IMPORTANCE
Blazes Are Started in Several
Different Ways.
Grave Menace Lies in improper Han.
ding and Storage of Gasoline
Pail Of Water Is Oldest and
Cheapest Extingulsher.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
These are the days when the fire
hazard Is considerably increased over
what 1t was In the summer months.
With the coming Of cool weather, quick
fires are started In the stoves or fur
mace and often a flue 10 discovered
that needs repair. Accommodations of
infiammable rubbish In which a bad
blaze may be started should be got rid
of. Matches are used In Increased
numbers in winter, and that means ad-
ditional chances Of accidental fires.
Kerosene is employed In greater guam
titles, being used for starting fires and
for the lamps, and, therefore. this haz-
ard Is increased. An even graver men,
ace lies in the improper handling Of
gasoline. It Is highly important that
every precaution be taken to store the
gasoline supply in properly located and
constructed reservoirs.
This Is the season also for the farm
er to look to his fire-hghting equip
ment. A pail Of water Is the oldest,
simplest and cheapest of fire extin-
guishers. There Is no reason why pals
Of water, to be used only In case of
fire, should not be installed In every
farm building. II possible they should
be painted special color, preferably
red, or labeled so as to be conspicuous
and less subject to unauthorized use.
The chemical extinguisher has come
into quite general use on automobiles
and elsewhere about the farm, and has
many advantages over the water
bucket. 1t can be employed, for ex-
ample, In subduing fires among oils,
where water is of no value. In the alb
sence of a chemical extinguisher, sand
Is serviceable In extlnguishlng burn
ing oil in case Of a small fire on the
floor or In shallow container. Saw
dust Is also effective in putting out
oil fires, If 1t Is scattered over the en-
tire surface of the burning liquid so as
to smother the flames. The United
States department of agriculture has
issued a Farmers Bulletin 904, Fire
Prevention and Fire Fighting on the
Farm" which discusses the various
types Of fire extinguishers and their
merits. 1t may be had free by address
ing the department.

BIG SPIDER WRONGLY NAMED
Insect Found In the Southwestern
States and in Mexico Not Really
Tarantula.

The famous tarantula, sometimes
the arid portions Of the Southwestern
states and northern Mexico, is not
really. it seems, the tarantula of his
tory and Of fable.
An eminent authority In such mat
ters. in remarking that the tarantula is
spider, says of that terrifying crea-
ture that it is the Lycosa Tarantula,
q species of spider found in some Of
the warmer parts Of Italy and Spain.
When full grown 1t is about the size
Of a chestnut and of brown color.
It's bite was at one time supposed to
be dangerous and to induce kind Of
dancing disease" but now 1t is known
not to be worse than the sting of a
common wasp.
1t is an old fable, extending to re-
hottest times, that the bite of this
spider would produce epilepsy or a
strange dancing mania in its victims,
and that this epilepsy or madness could
he relieved only by particular kind
Of music. The tarantula of Italy and
Spain-and 1t Is found In those coun-
tries today-has hairy legs with black
markings on them.
1t is very likely that when the early
Spanish explorers came upon the great
spider of the Southwest, and seeing
good deal Of resemblance to the tar
antula Of the Old World, those explor-
ers, not being entomologists, called the
new spider tarantula. And the name
has persisted.

An apple more frequently boxed than

Northwest, Is the Arkansas Black. II
is good sized and very firm and hard
until fully matured. Solid red In color,
it assumes In many specimens almost
a black shade. 1t is In season during
the winter. Its use is principally Gull
mary. 1t is frequently found on the
fruit stands but is not very desirable
for eating in its fresh state.
The Banana or Winter Banana is in
season in the late fall and winter. This
apple can be used for both cooking and
dessert, is good-slzed apple and very
attractive in appearance when well
grown. Its greenish-yellow surface has
considerable blush when highly col
ored. 1t is widely grown and good for
general purposes.
