GENTLEMAN USHER
OF THE BLACK ROD
Has Been Appointed By King George
In The Person of Lieut. General
Sir w. P. Pulteney.
Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 28-King George
has appointed Lieutenant General Sir
w. P. Pulteney, as Gentleman Usher
of the Black Rod in succession to the
late Admiral Sir Henry F. Stephen
son. The office is one of those pure
ly ornamental ones which are rather
numerous in this country. "Black
Rod as he is called for short, has
next to nothing to do and gets $1,000
a year for doing it, and suite of
apartments, rent free, in the House of
Lords.
He is a glorified messenger Of the
hereditary legislators. When on duty
he is gorgeously attired in court cos
tune with knee breeches and plum
ed cooked hat and dandy little sword
by his side. The emblem of his auth
ority is an ebony wand but he never
does anything with it.
When members of the House of
Commons are summoned to the House
of Lords to hear speeches from the
throne or the royal assent given to
acts that have been passed, Black
Rod, enters the Upper House and
makes his way to the "woolsack' on
which sits the robed and wigged Lord
Chancellor He is told to inform the
members of the House Of Commons
that they are wanted. Then he has
to walk half way to the door back
wards, making a bow at every few
steps and looking very solemn.
When he arrives within a few yards
of the door of the House Of Commons
the Sergeant alarms of that body
who is on the lookout for him( shuts
tn edoor in his face. Black Rod has
to suppress his feelings and knock
knock humbly at the door.
Then the Sergeant-at-Arms opens
little panel in the door and asks him
what he wants ,or something to that
effect, and Black Rod tells him what
he already knows. Then Black Rod is
| aeimitted. This little bit of comedy is
supposed to indicate that the House
of Commons does not take any orders
from the House of Lords Then Black
Rod, with chastened mien, advances
to where the Speaker sits in state and
in Norman French delivers his mes
sage. This is the performance he will
have to go through for the first time
when Parliament opens on February
10th.
General Pulteney has served in
many campaigns, having joined the
Scots Guards in 1881, and has been
the recipient of a large number OF
honors. During the great war he
commanded the Third Corps in
France. He has taken a keen interest
in the development of military recrea-
tion and has been a prime favorite
with his men. He was born in 1861.

ERADICATION OF
CATTLE TICK IN
Southern States Is Now In Somewhat
Critical Condition, Declares DIR.
Ramsey, Chief OF Bureau
Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Jan. rs
Cattle tick eradication in southern
states is now in@ d solneyhat .-ritical
condition, DIR. R. A. Ramsey, chief Of
tick eradication Of th artnent Of
agriculture's bureau Of animal indus
try, told the Southern Cattlemens'
association today, and an energetic
drive, he said, should be made, esp
ecially in states where tick eradication
is nearly completed, to speedily fin
ish the Job. The possibility of poll
tics interfering with the work was
pointed out by DR.. Ramsey.
"There is imminent DANGER" he
said, "when any state becomes care
less about discontinuing tick eradi
cation when there are still a few coun-
ties or localities or small centers
where tick infestation exists. The
infestation in these centers, if not
completely eradicated, is going to
spread. Furthermore, these small
centers are liable to be used by pol
iticians for purpose Of barter. This
has been demonstrated in Virginia,
where three tick infested counties
still remain in quarantine because
certain state officials and livestock
sanitary officials saw proper to trade
off tick eradication for few votes
on some other legislation.
DIR. Ramsey said southern cattlemen
could relieve men directly engaged
in the actual work Of tick eradica-
ton of the responsibility Of obtaining
appropriations and enlisting the moral
support of state legislators and exc
cutives. He suggested two members
of the association should personally
visit each state legislature and discuss
with the various committees and the
governor the needs of tick eradiction.
The Work of the cattlemens' asso-
citation, he said, had been of great as
sistance in the past and the cattle tick
has been eradicated from 5O9,084
square miles, or 70 per cent Of the
area infested. There still remain 49,
581 square miles under quarantine.
