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

The japanese beetle is going to have
It's old enemies on its trail in this
country. The United States depart
nent of agriculture has sent 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 ex-
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. It
is expected that the task will require
his sojourn in Japan for two or three
years. While something is known of
the parasites Of the Japanese beetle
a 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.

GOT MARX TWAIN STIRRED UP
Humorist. Tired Of Listening to Series

A naval officer said at banquet
in New York:
Some of the war stories that hear
remind me of Mark Twain. Mark, you
know, once sat in the smoking room
of steamer and listened for an hour
or two to some remarkable lies. Then
he drawled:
Boys, these feats of yours that
you've been telling about recall an ad-
venture of my own in Hannibal. There
was fire in Hannibal one night, and
old man Hankinson got caught in the
fourth story of the burning house. 1t
looked as if he was goner. None
of the ladders was long enough to
reach him. The crowd stared at one
another with awed eyes. Nobody could
think of anything to do. Then all of
a sudden, boys, an idea occurred to
me- Fetch me roper ] yelled. Some
body fetched rope, and with great
presence of mind I flung the end of it
up to the old man. .sTie her round
your waist!' ~ l yelled. Old man Han
kinson did so and I pulled him
down."

A thief with an eye for the best

masterpiece by A. p. Ryder while 1t
was en- route from the Phillips Me-
mortal Art Gallery of this city to q
New York exhibit
Though trace was lost OF the
work, entitled The Bsrnyard" more
than one month ago, the loss was
not brought to public attention until
yesterday when Duncan U. Phillips.
owner of the gallery at 1918 Con-
necticut avenue, and a well-known
connoisseur, inserted an advertise
ment in local papers offering a re-
ward of $500 for its return. He
refused to place a definite price on
the painting. but declared 1t is very
valuable"
So far as is known, the local po-
lice have mot been called in on the
case by Phillips. He was unwilling
last night to admit the picture has
been stolen, though circumstances
in the disappearance point strongly

COURT AWARDS
$3.50 A MONTH
TO MRS. ELKINS
Decides $4,000 Income In
sufficient for Divorce
And Son.
Mrs. Mary Kenna Elkins. divorced

Mrs. Mary Kenna Elkins, divorced
wife of Blaine Elkins. the son of
the late Senator from West Virginia.
Stephen B. Elkins, convinced Justice
William Hitz in Equity Court yes
terday that an income of $4,000 a
year. derived from dividends on
$4,000 worth of industrial bonds,
was not sufficient for the needs of
herself and 3-year-old son.
These bonds were settled on Mrs.
Elkins after she secured an abso-
lutte divorce from Blaine Elkins. in
lieu of alimpny and for the sur
render of her dover rights in the
ElAins estate. The court signed an
order directing Elkins to pay his
wife an additional $3.50 a month as
a permanent maintenance.
The decree does not deprive the
former husband of again applying
to the court to amend the divorce
decree in order that he may have,
at certain intervals, the custody OF
their son, Stephen B. Elkins, 3rd.
Mrs. Elkins originally obtained the
permanent custody OF the boy.
She won her divorce decree after
convincing Chief Justice Walter I.
Mccoy that Elkins had been guilty
of misconduct with a pretty mani
curist. At the, hearing on the petit
tion for additional maintenance, she
testified that Elkins was still liv-
ing with this woman, while she, the
mother of his child, was almost
starving.
