SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
speclaIlst Has Been Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy OF
Horticultural Pest.

The japanese beetle is going to have
Its old enemies on It's trail In this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent man 70
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 e1
pected to aid greatly in the control OF
the pest.
The agent employed in Japan Il
familiar with Japanese conditions and
is a specialist in this kind of work. II
is expected that the task will require
his sojourn in Japan for two or three
wears, While something is known OF
the parasites of the japanese beetle
great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon It. The beetle reached this
country with importations Of green
house plants, and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo
lestations by natural enemies.

CHAPTER l..
The Troops"

"It was hard luck, said Searles,
"that 1 should spend a year writing
a play for woman only to find that
she had vanished-jumped on the
earth into nowhere. This was my
highest flight, Singleton, the best writ
ing l ever did, and after the vast
pains took with the thing, the only
woman ever saw who could possibly
act it is unavailable; worse than that,
absolutely undiscoverable! Nobody
knows I have this script; I've Kept
quiet about it simply because I'm not
going to be forced into accepting a
star l don't want. l have a feeling
about this play that never had about
my other things. The public has been
so kind to my small offerings that
I'm trying to lead 'em on to the best l
can do; something little finer and
more imaginative, with touch OF
poetry, if you please. And now
He glared at me as though l were
responsible for his troubles. AS he
knew had been flying in the French
aviation corps for two years and had
lust been invallded home, / didn't
think It necessary to establish an
alibi. Fate had been kind to Dick
Searles. In college he had written
play or two that demonstrated his
talent, and after a rigid apprentice
ship as scene-shifter and assistant
producer he had made killing with
''Let George Do It." farce that earn
ed enough to put him at ease and make
possible an upward step into straight
comedy. Even as we talked capac-
ity house was laughing at his skit'
"Who Killed Cock Robin7" just around
the corner from his lodgings. So his
story was not the invention Of re-
Iected playwright to cover the non
appearance Of a play which nobody
would produce.

Free Tin Boxes.

There are countless uses for tin
boxes.
Most dealers In cigarettes have on
hand boxes of this kind, eleven inches
long, six inches wide and four inches
deep, which are thrown away. Some
dealers are glad to accommodate per-
sons who desire these tin receptacles
and will give them away without cost.
The following are some very GOOD
ways in which the tin boxes can be
utilized:
Lunch boxes when out camping or
fishing, as they will hold good sup
ply of lunch.
Covered with white enamel ano
used as a cake-box or bread-box.
Keeping food away from rats, mice
and other pests.
Painted and used as flower box
