Of a steamer and listened for an hour

he drawled:
"'Boys. these feats Of yours that

SEEKS FOE or JAP, BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed q
Bring to This Country Enemy OF
horticultural Pest.

The Japanese beetle is going to have
its old enemies on Its trail In this
country. The United States depart
ment Of agriculture has sent a man To
japan TO find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They Will
then be established in the sections OF
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained a foothold, and they are *
pected to aid greatly In the control Of
the pest.
The agent employed In Japan Is
familiar with japanese conditions and
is a specialist In this kind of work. II
Is expected that the task will require
his s~ojourn In Japan for two or three
years. While something Is known OF
the parasites OF the japanese beetle
q great deal is still TO be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon II. The beetle reached this
country with i"mportations Of green
house plants. and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestations by natural enemies.

BelIigerent.

American Territory-Not To

Aqua Prieta, Sonora.-The state OF
Sonora will appeal to the United
States for recognition as a belligerent.
Announcement Of the appeal was
made here by Francisco Elias, a leader
In the Sonora revolt against the Car.
rama government of Mexico.
Sonora hopes to be recognized as q
belligerent according to Senior Elias,
and thus forestall permission being
granted Carranza troops to cross
United States territory to attack the
state from the border. The appeal, II
granted. also would throw open the
ports Of the state on the international
boundary to trade with the United
States without restriction.
Not Recognition Of Government.
Senior Elias said recognition as a bel
ligerent would in no way involve rec.
ognition by the United States of the
government of Sonora or otherwise in.
volve its relations with Mexico as a
whole. He said that in previous Next

Troops were ordered sent here with
all dispatch to guard the city against
any attack of federal authorities when
1t became known the government of
Mexico had asked the United States
for permission to send troops here
from Juarez. chihuahua, through
United States territory.
Request to Be Portested.
The Sonora officials said they had
received assurances that strong rep
reservations would be made at Wash
ington against permission being grant
ed. They expected border American
states to also protest to Washington
against the Carranza request.
Sonora leaders denounce the action
of the federal government as a flag
rant attempt to draw the United
States into what they consider a pure
family matter.
Should the privilege asked by Car.
rama be granted. ii was stated, it cas-
lily could mean the massing of opposite
forces ON either side of the line at No
gales, Arizona. and Sonora, a resultant
battle and the loss of American lives
and destruction of American property.
The result would mean. Sonora leaders
pointed out, precipitation of the United
States into the war, which, they al

IF YOU WE'RE THE "PRINCE" KINDNESS' OF "BUDDIES''
 WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

In 'Buddies'', the delightful TO- nance with a musical setting which the SelwynS are offering in the Sel- wyn Theatre, New York, there's a soldier lad in a foreign land whose kindness of heart p1unges into a most distressing predtcament. His Bud dies'' call him Sonny" but Julie, the sweet maid of Brittany in whose humble home the American boys are billeted, has a much better name for him in Prince Kindness" As Peggy Wood paints the portrait of the gentle heroine of George Hobarts fragrant with charm enough to lead any man into a. dilemma, particularly when he's the whoIe-souled sort of chap Donald Brian makes of Sonny.
 You see it's this way.
 Julie Is very much in love with one of the ''Buddies'' whom his compan- ions call Babe. The excruciating shy ness of this Allegheny lad seems an inpenetrable barrier to his declar- ation of love to the French girl. In this situation there comes a, scoundrel bent on blackmailing Madame Be- noit, but who swerves from his pur- pose when he meets the lovely eldest daughter of the household. To pro- I the villain and to goad the bashfuI l Babe to action, Sonny agrees to de- clare himself bethrothed to the girl It all seems simple enough since the girl Sonny loves is supposed to be 1 patiently awaiting his return to Brooklyn. But little Miss Brooklyn just dotes on surprises, and affords 1 her finance a pleasure not unnixed with embarrassment when she arrives i unannounced in the Benoit home just 1 in time to see Sonny and Julie act ! ing their little play. Of course she ! misunderstood. That girl would, not think her lover unfaithful to find i him rapturously kissing another in France while he supposed his sweet heart to be in America Louise Malt land does exactly what one would ex- pect, i. s.. goes off in huff and gets
 herself engaged to the equally in- 1 jured Babe.
 Of course Sonny could get himself swiftly out of his prediciInent by ex- posing Julie's whole innocent scheme of seIf-protection. But there is the villain looking on, and ready to
 bounce upon his prey the minute he
 knows that she has ID male protec-
 tor. Also Julie is a perfect little brick

To Have Perfect Skin
 Throughout the Winter

x These days the face and hands need special care and attention. Strong winds, quick changes of temperature from indoors to outdoors, are severe on the skin. Their despoi1ing effects are best overcome by the application of pure mercolized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a clean1y condition, the complexion beautifully white and spotless Chapped, reddened, bfotchy and roughened cuticle are actually absorbed by it.
 One ounce of mercolized wax. ob- tainable at any drug store, is sufficient to completely. renoyate a weather beaten ;complexion. It is used like cold cream, allowed to remain on over night. and washed off in the morning. k-Ady.
