Church Board Told State

BORDER IS INVOLVED
Government Accused of Fa-
ciIitating Vice Across
The Line.

Though couched in the dignified
language of formality, the reply
of the state Department to the
Board Of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals, of the Methodist
Church, which claimed the depart
ment was facilitating vice in the
border town Of Tia Juana, Mex,
very politely answers tough luck
to the fact that certain acts, illegal
in this country. are legal in Mexico.
The department further does not
constitute Itself a censor Of

demand that border crossings be
facilitated by permit cards" and
what travellers do on the other side
OF the line cannot be controlled by
the United States
Question of Law, Not Morals.
Though the Methodist Investigators
insist that continuation of present
conditions in Tia Juana can but re-
suit in future trouble for the United
States, the State Department replies
that any change Of its policy toward
border travelling must let violation
of law rather than violation of NOR
ais be the determining factor.
The Methodists here from their
national headquarters at 2O4 Penn
syIvania avenue southeast, issued a
bulletin charging that failure Of the
State Department to enforce pass
port regulations is responsible for
the constant procession of Ameri-
cans crossing the international
boundary line into that community.

In its last analysis it means the

two essential commodities of the
world. Wheat is produced by such
a multitude and in so many lands
that even if the, producers desired
an organization to limit its output
or control it would be a manifest
impossibility. But with coal it is
different. Its production lies al
almost wholly in.the hands of labor

The settlement of more than 2.4OO
claims involving money due the gov
ernment running into the millions
of dollars was thrown into doubt
this week when Admiral W. S. Ben
son, chairman of the United States
Shipping Board, abolished the bu-
reau of investigation of the depart
ment, which in its existence has de-
tected and prevented payment on
numerous frauds against the gov
ernment, put over in the course
of the mammoth shipbuilding pro-
gram during the war.
The wiping out of the bureau was
sweeping. Only three men. and all
of these in higher executive posi-
tions, were retained.
None of the shipyards or concerns
that entered into contract with the
United States Shipping Board or the
Emergency Fleet Corporation dur
ing the war has been able so far
to get a final accounting with the
government.
The bureau OF investigation. which
had operated more or less as an in

Ware the SWoose!
Only a Bird, but
Boy, 1t Is Vicious!
By United Press.)

Norfolk, England, Sept. s.
Make way for the "swoosew
a bird of evil and hybrid char
acter has become the despair of
a farmyard here. The name
"swoose" indicates its origin, its
father being a swan and its
mother a goose.
This undiscriminating pair had
three children "sweese" but
one of them did not develop
properly and died. The other
two spend their days in inter-
mittent paroxysms of raging
fury. These birds are bigger
than any goose, though shaped
similarly, except for. their long
necks, which they curl and rub
along their backs in real swan
fashion.
Unfortunately, their savagery
may prove their ruin. They make
daily attacks on the farmyard
chickens and ducks, which often
times they kill with a single
blow. Even their owners are
afraid of them, and life at the
farm is one continual endeavor
to keep out. of the "swoose's"
way.
Much public interest is evinced
in these queer birds, and now
adays when an ill-tempered hus-
band rouses his wife to the point
of retaliation, she gives vent to
her feelings in the eliminating
insult: 20, you swoosew

HENRY WINDAHL, .yof New
IL Sharon. Ia, has invented what
he calls a SANITARY chicken roost,'
which is guaranteed to dispose Of the
insect parasites that aAaict poultry,
while incidentally killing bacterial
germs.
His idea is to attach beneath the
roost perch an ordinary preserving jar,
with u screw top, the receptacle being
filled with a strong disinfectant, and
from it to conduct a thick wick all
along the top of the perch and along
the bottom of the latter. The fluid
disinfectant follows the wick, keeping it
saturated.
Along the top of the perch the wick
runs in a deep groove, so as to keep it
out of the way of the chickens feet.
but along the bottom it is stretched
without a groove. =,
Evaporation of the fluid. while. the
fowls are roosting. gives a sense of ex-
trcme discomfort to thc insects hidden
among their feathers, causing them to
drop out and seek safety on the under
side of the perch. There, always seek
Ing a hiding place, they crawl between
the wick and the perch, and the disin-
fcctant kills them.
The lid of the jar (which has q hole
for the emergence Of the wick) is per-

The plant has an output capacity OF

A DEVOURING worm, the most
Al dangerous insect pest we have
ever known, has been newly imported
into this country. 1t seriously threat
ems our greatest food crop, the corn.
1t was first discovered in the United
States during the summer Of 1917. AL
ready it has spread over 800 square
miles in the ncighborhood Of Boston,
and in the vicinity of Schenectady.

the amount of damage it is likely to do
is almost beyond estimate,
1t is a caterpillar, the offspring of
n moth. In late summer the moth lays
her eggs upon the corn ears, and the
c%aterpillars, when hatched, feed at first
on the silk; then they enter the ears
and devour grain and cob.
Also they tunnel through the. stalks.
There are two generations each year,

Power of Jaws

TINE Bureau Of Standards has ascer-
L tanned that. when you cat, the
pressure excrtcd by your jaws is more
than eleven tons to the square inch.
No wonder, then, that your teeth are
made of a material almost indcstructi-
bic except by decay. A sound tooth
comes pretty near to being the, hardest
thing in nature, and the most enduring.
1t follows that artificial teeth must
be made of an extremely tough quality OF
porcelain. The material dentists use for
filings nowadays is usually either a &C.
m,ent of great hardness or q metal COM
.position that is mostly silver. and when
may contain zinc, copper and tin.
The filings are liable to break down
under the tremendous chewing pressure.
Various materials used for the purpose
lave recently been tested by the Bureau
al Standards. and the conclusion It
draws is that a standardization OF dental
cemcnts and amalgams is needed III
order that their relative resistance to
