Annapolis Plebes
Avoid All Friction

nnapolis-Despite the fact that the
separation of the plebes, or fourth
class men, at the Naval Academy,
from the upper class men has pre-
vented any coercion on the part of
the latter, the plebes are keeping all
fourth class "rates" religiously and the
majority say they would like to be
back under the old conditions and are
ready to stand whatever hazing or
running" falls to their lots.
Many of these youths were in the
city. Under the present route the
plebes and members of the other
classes alternate in the privileges of
Saturday liberty and it was the lot of
the plebes to leave the academy and
the others stayed in. A few said they
liked conditions as they are now, but
the majority insisted they were willing
to stand contact with the upper class
men. Some said they feared hazing
would be more severe if the seggre-
cation ordered was abrogated.
1t is also known that the plebes are
carrying out all of the rates" imposed
upon them by academy customs. Pie
bes required to visit any part of Ban
croft Hall, except the portion in which
they are quartered, march one behind
the other and directly in the middle
of acorridor. They never cut corners,
but turn them at sharp right angles.
They are also keeping clear of lovers
lane" and all other prescribed portions
of the academy.

SEEK PENN. AID IN FIGHTING
BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS

Other States in the Union are rap
idly recognizing the advanced position
occupied by Pennsylvania in the eradi-
cation of tuberculosis among the cattle
of the State, through the operation of
the accredited herd plan. The au.
thorities in Ohio recently sent their
experts to Pennsylvania to study the
methods obtaining here.
The latest request has come from
the State Of Iowa. Director T. E.
Munce, of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, has received request
from Iowa authorities asking for the
loan" of one of his experts, for the
purpose of introducing the Pennsyl-
vania methods in that State.
DR.. Munce has complied and has di-
rected DR.. Henry w. Turner, a field
representative of the Pennsylvania de-
partment, to go over the field with
the Iowa authorities and give them
such assistance and instruction as
they may desire.

DISCOVER MINUTE MITES IN
FEEDING STUFF AND GRAIN

Agents for the Bureau of Chemistry,
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, are selecting samples of feeding
stuffs, recently found horse feed, the
grain in which apparently kept moving
about of it's own volition. No larvae
or insect could be detected in the feeds
and samples were submitted to the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the Penn
sylvania Department.
1t was found that the grain was in
tested with minute notes of the fam
lily Tyroglyphidae, of pale color.
The mites are the same that attack
cheese, flour, grain in mills and cere-
ais. 1t has definitely been determined
by the Bureau of Plant Industry that
these mites will not live in any sub
stance containing less than IL per
cent moisture. Most of the mixed ami
NAL feed contains to 10 per cent of
moisture and these are never attacked
by the mites. Feeds containing mo.
lasses or feeds that are kept in a damp
place often contain Is per cent mois-
ture and these are readily attacked by
the mites.
Heat will effectually kill the mites.
The best method of preventing dam
age to grains or feed, when the pres
ence of the mites are discovered, is to
heat the grains or feed to a tempera-
ture of 1875 degrees and drive out the
moisture.
Fumigation or heat alone will not
suffice. The material infested must be
dried so that the moisture content is
~ per cent or less. For further infor-
ton write the Bureau Of Plant Industry,

ture. Harrisburg.

STATE ADvERTIsEs FOR
IMMENSE AMOUNT OF SERUM

The Bureau of Animal Industry,
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, has asked for bids on 1,00O,0O0
&C. of hog cholera serum, to be used in
the treatment Of hog cholera in Penn
sylvania during 1921. The department
will award the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder and the serum con-
tracted for will be the only kind used
by the Bureau in it's field work.
BY securing bids on great quantities
Of the serum the price is considerably
lower than any indivual farmer or
stock man can secure. The serum is
furnished to the bureau from time to
time and every lot is thoroughly test.
ed. The tested serum is then kent in
cold storage in the bureaus offices
and sub-stations, and when a farmer
wishes his hogs treated, his veteri-
marian secures the serum from the
State.
The Bureau of Animal Industry noti-
fies the manufacturer of the amount of
serum used by the farmer and the lat
ter is sent bill direct from the off
ces of the manufacturer obtaining the
serum at the price contracted for by
the State.
In this way the Bureau of Animal
Industry does not handle any money,
the manufacturer being paid by the
farmer as the serum is used, while
the arrangement provides the farmer
with virulent serum, without loss of
time, the latter factor being highly i'm
portant to the treatment of cholera.

Otherwise the last week has been
rather quiet Some shooting parties
have been given here and there, but
these have been of mild order, espe-
cially in England, because in France
few of the great country houses which
used to entertain so lavishly before
the war, have once more opened their
doors, though, of course, in an informal
kind of way. Among others, the Due
de Brissac, for the first time since by
his mothers death he became the
in Maine ct Loire, has entertained
there some of his old friends OF
course, it has been nothing like those
large parties which used to be given
formerly in the wonderful residence
every autumn, but all of the same peo-
pie have enjoyed seeking each other
once more under the hospitable roof.
Brissac has been in possession of the
family of it's present owner since 400
years, and escaped in some extraordi-
nary manner being plunged during the
great revolution, thanks to the fact
that the Due de Brissac of that time
had the sense to close the huge place,
hide away his valuables and retire to
small cottage belonging to one Of his
tenants, where he lived peacefully to-
gether with his wife until the proc
lamation of the first empire allowed
him to resume possession of his an
cestral home. But he was entirely
ruined and his descendants had to
scrape and economic and be very
uncomfortable generally, but refused
to sell the old mansion until about the
year 1865 or 1866, when the then Duke
of Brassiac, pursued by angry credi-
tors, saw the place seized by the sher-
if and put upon the auction. Very
probably he would have lost it if an
immensely wealthy heiress, Mademoi-
selle Say, the sister OF the present
Princess Amedee de Broglie, had not
fallen in love with his eldest son, the
Marquis Roland de Brissac, and after
marrying HON had not bought the
Castle of Brissac from her father-in-

COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATIONS
TO RECEIVE
SPECIAL ATTENTION

The development of cooperative as
sociations among the farmers of Penn
sylvania will receive special attention
from the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture during the coming winter.
Secretary of Agriculture Fred Ras-
mussen has announced the appoint
ment of Howard A. Macrae as assist
ant in cooperation, in the Bureau of
Markets, and Mr.. Macrae will have
charge of the cooperative work
throughout the State.
Mr.. Macrae comes to Pennsylvania
from Massachusetts, where he was
manager of the Hampden County
Farmers Exchange. Previous to that
time he was employed as county farm
agent in Rhode Island.
There are $50 cooperative organi-
lions among the farmers of Pennsyl-
vania at the present time, majority
of these having been organized for the
purpose of handwind and disposing of
the crops of the members. Many of
these organizations have been formed
under the recently enacted law which
affords greater advantages to farmers
desiring to market their crops collect
lively.
During the Fifth Annual Farm
Products Show to be held in Harris
burg, January 24-28, meeting of the
managers of the various cooperative
organizations in the State will be held,
at which time problems of organiza-
ton, financing and management will
be taken up.

All Pastry in
Germany Under
Ban This Winter

The 'Kuchen Krieg," or pastry war,
which the food police have been wag-
ing for weeks against cakes and pastry
containing more than 10 per cent of
white flour, will become a war of ex.
termination, with no quarter even for
10 per cent delectables.
Cakes and pastry o fevery sort will
this winter be placed under the ban
in Germany, owing to the shortage in
flour, eggs and sugar. The budget
commission of the Reichstag has just
asked the food minister to issue a
general prohibition against the baking
of any of these Injuries except in the
home. The minister has promised to
act upon the request.
The 10 per cent regulation has been
in force for months, but has been
honored more in the breach than in
the observance, although the police
for weeks have made practice of
confiscating the stocks of certain cafes
and restaurants for Sunday trade
every Saturday.
One leading offender, to justify his
plea that "everybody's doing it, and
that he was singled out for unjust
persecution, arrnged an exhibition for
the police and the public of SAMPLES
of illegal wares purchased in $50 cafes
and restaurants or Berlin the same
day as his stock was seized.

First Ladies Of
the Land

Comes March fourth and there'll be
new First Lady of the Land, Mrs.
Warren G.. Harding.
The first mistress of the White
House was Mrs. Abigil Adams, wife,
of John Adams. Then the White
House was called the Palace"
Mrs. Adams carved for herself
high niche in the hall of fame by
being the only First Lady of the Land
to hang out the family wash in the
East Room of the White House.
Mrs. Grover Cleveland was the
first First Lady of the Land bride.
She now is Mrs. James F. Preston.
Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes was the
first First Lady to refuse to serve
wine at White House dinners.
The first First Lady, Mrs. Washing
ton, never lived in the White House,
built after her husband retired from
the presidency.
Three ex-widows have played promi-
nent roles as First Ladies. Mrs.
Washington, Mrs. Madison and the
present mistress of the White House,
were widows when married to the men
who became chief executives of the
nation.
The only living women who have
been First Ladies of the Land are Mrs.
w. H. Taft, Mrs. James F. Preston
(Mrs. Cleveland), Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt and Mrs. BENJAMIN Harri-

Gossip in Foreign
Capitals
BY Princess Catherine RadziwiII

BY Princess Catherine RadziwilI
The last foreign mail brought me
five letters-two from Paris and three
from London-which one and all SON
tanned the same question, els the
Duchess of Marlborough going to
marry Jacques Balsan, and what have
you heard about it in New York;" To
which I could easily have replied by
another question which indeed would
have been more appropriate, What
have you heard about it in Europe?" if
my correspondents had not answered
it spontaneously by relating 60 me all
the gossip which it seems is very &C.
tive on this burning subject in the
fashionable circles of Mayfair as well
as in the French-Anglo-Americ So
ciety that lives around the Champs
Elysees quarters in Paris. 1t seems
that it was there the gossip has start
ed, and it had originated in the fact
of Monsieur Balsan appearing in deep
mourning at the funeral service which
was celebrated in the American
Church for Mr.. William X. Vanderbilt,
which was Immediately commented
upon as expressing more than his
sympathy for the deceased's daughter,
the Duchess of Marlborough. But
some generally we'll informed persons
had reminded those other we'll in
formed ones that M. Balsan had re-
Gently lost one of his own near rela-
tives, and that the black band on his
arm and hat and his black gloves
might very well have been worn for
that relative, and not for hoped-for
father-in-law.
And in London society refuses abso-
lutely to believe in the rumor, for the
simple reason that if it could be
proved that the duchess had engaged
herself to any one before her divorce
had been made absolute she would
have run the risk of that divorce be-
ing refused to her, which she surely
would not care to incur. In fact,
busybodies have declared that very
probably it was an enemy of hers who
had helped to spread the report so as
to make her position very difficult in
the coming action; and this may be
true, though there is no denying the
fact that she has been seen a good
deal with M. Balsan, who is a charm
ing man-this by the way-and one
who bears the best reputation in
Partisan society as well as in his ma
tive Berry, where his cloth factories,
situated near Chateauroux, have
brought prosperity to thousands of
workmen.
He would no doubt make an excel
lent husband for the pretty and ami
able duchess, but then English pride
and British prejudices will not admit
that a woman could make up her mind
to abandon her position and title,
when this title is among the few great
ducal ones of the United Kingdom,
where the common saying is "once
duchess, always Duchess. So there
the matter begins and ends, and only
the future will prove whether all the
gossip going about in the two great
European capitals, reposes on some
foundation or is only the product of
those fertile imaginations, which, I'M
fortunately, are to be found every
where in the world, America not ex-
cepted.

Advice

You need not fear what others say
If you'll do just your work each day,
Just daily keep on saving wood,
Behave yourself the way you should,
And you will find that this is true
The gossips cannot injure you.

Besides these at Brissac there have
been house parties at the Chateau de
Maintenon, where the handsome Du-
chess de Noailles gave big dance in
honor of her daughter-in-law, the
young Duchess d'Ayen, and in several
other places; but the hospitable gates
of Dampierre have remained closed
ever since the death of the heir to this
lordly place, the Duke de Chevreuse,
and so indeed have been those many
other historic residences, the owners
of which are mourning some member
or other of their family, fallen on the
field of glory.
France is still lamenting over the
graves of so many of her bravest
children that it's entertainments have
acquired shade of gravity unknown
before the war. Conversations have
become more serious, and lately peo-
pie have talked of nothing but our
presidential election, which has been
watched nowhere with greater interest
and even anxiety than in French So
ciety. So l am sure that Senator
Harding's victory and the triumph of
the Republican party will have been
received with wild reclamation of de-
light. Everybody had been hoping for
their success. 1t is no longer a secret
that President Wilson's long sojourn
in Paris did not improve Franco
American relations, and it seems that
one day during political discussion
on the subject, somebody having said
that it was a pity the President had
not been induced to stay at home, an
other man noted for his wit in Partisan
Journalistic circles had exclaimed that
ought to have called Americas chief
executive, not Woodrow, but Would
Go. The word took, and was widely
repeated, which serious persons
thought, of course, a great pity.
Winter fashions have appeared, and
from all hear are not pretty, but
show some return of common sense.
The skirts are decidedly growing
longer, the sleeves idem, though those
show an ex-aggregation in that direc-
ton which is neither convenient nor
becoming, and probably will not en-
dure, because no one cares to have
ones hand covered down to the finger
tips, which the ultra smart sleeves are
doing just at present. Materials are
lovelier than ever, and there are some
new brocades which are said to be
more beautiful than anything that has
been seen before. AS for hats, my
correspondents all declare that to de-
scribe them is quite impossible, be-
cause for one reason among many
others, no one would believe the things
told about them, if one had not seen
them.
