University, when the following
methods are followed. Mix thor
oug|hly one part of calcium arsen-
ate and 20 parts by weight of land
plaster or gypsum. TIL S mixture
should be applied by means of a
duster or by a tin can with per-
forated Md every few days from the
time the plants come up until they
have become SO large that the
beetles cannot seriously injure them.
The beetles will not stay near this
dust. therefore, if thoroughly ap-
piled the cucumbers will not be
eaten by the pests.

The New York herald., 1921-04-08
The Governor on Sports.

Governor MILLER indicates that he
does not consider State control of
baseball necessary. This is good judg-
ment. The storm aroused by the
White Sox scandal and the punish
ment quickly visited upon the Of
tenders therein was evidence that
organized baseball knows the neces-
sity of keeping the game straight
and that 1t will try, for selfish rea-
sons If for none other, to put crooked
ness off the diamond. The decision
cf Judge LANDS that famous ball
player who has been indicted for an
offence outside the game cannot play
until he Is cleared is a sign Of the
times in professional baseball circles.
The Governor shows further good
sense when he. looks askance at the
idea of combining the racing and box
Ing commissions. There is dignity
about the management of racing
which does not yet attach to the box
Ing business. Racing here has con-
tinuing history. There are no mush-
room organizations in 1t. Most of
the men who are engaged in racing
are jealous Of the sports reputation.
Some time, we hope, this will be true
of boxing; but just now there are no
Keenes or Whitneys In the game OF
,,rc foyeiopoI RStiouffr man who
would make a good racing commits.
sloner might be poor boxing com
missioner, and vice verp.
There is no need for worry about
baseball or racing, but the State, now
that it permits boxing, should have
keen eyes to watch a sport whose
camp followers are not always like
the driven snow.

the secondary mystery Of the Elwell
case the strange eclipse of the Police
Department OF New York city by the
New York county District Attorneys
Office in the investigation OF the kill
ing. SWAMI, not ESRIGHT, is the
name intima tely associated with the
fruitless inquiry which began when
ELwEIL was found dead. The Homi-
eide Bureau, not the Detective Bureau,
is the administrative department
which is referred to In the history
of the case. Even to-day CHARLES s.
WHITMAN as special prosecutor on
the staff Of District Attorney SWAMI,
and not the policeman in command OF
detectives, is the man to whom all
turn in the task of testing HARRIs's
confession.
This unusual supplanting Of the po-
lice is strange incident OF a remark
able crime. When the tragedy is ex-
piained, II ever 1t is explained, the
reasons why the police did not lead
in the search for the cause of the
crime and for the criminal may be
disclosed. Meanwhile their subordi-
nation furnishes mystery second in
interest only TO that which envelops
the crime itself.
The New York herald., 1921-04-08
Porto Rico's Future.
Two Aspects of the Question Of
Granting Statehood to the Island.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: There are
over a million Porto Rioan American
citizens deeply interested in a proper
answer to the question, Is Statehood con-
stitutIonally possible for the Territory
sents complex political and constitu-
tional proposition.
We would not, however. hesitate In
answering the question In the afiirma-
tive. In view OF the fact that the main
argument heretofore advanced against
Statehood for the outlying Territories of
the United States has been their nom
contiguity to the mainland. which OBJ
lection seems to have been already dis
missed by the clear policy of the United
States respecting the outlying Territories
OF Hawaii and Alaska.
Thus. by the Newlands joint resolu-
ton OF July Z. 1898. and by the act
of April 30, 1900, Congress annexed the
non-contiguous Hawaiian Islands as an
integral part Of the United States, made
the citizens of the Hawaiian Republic
American citizens and formally extended
the Federal Constitution to these ISL
ands. thereby giving them the status of
nm incorporated Territory (Hawaii VS..
Mankichi. 100 U. S. 1877. AZ L. ed. 1020).
BY the treaty under which Alaska was
acquired from Russia and subsequent
Congressional legislation relating there
to such Territory became incorporated
into and was made an integral part
Of the United States (Rassmussen VS..
u. s., 1877 y. S. 519. 40 L. ed. S62-S67)
Notwithstanding its outlying condition
and It's non-contlguity to the mainland
OF the United States.
And since incorporation Is now consti-
tutionally equivalent TO pledge of fu-
ture Statehood-for II implies that the
Territory thus situated has become q
part Of the United States proper as
part of It's domain. and that II is en-
titled TO the full benefits OF the Consti-
tuition, which, as citizenship, when once
extended or granted by Congress-. be-
comes irrevocabIe--it follows that the
Congressional Incorporation OF the nom
contiguous Territories of Hawaii and
Alaska clearly cvinces the policy OF the
American Government and OF lts Com
gress TO admit, some time In the future.
as additional States OF the American
Union such OF Its outlying Territories os
Congress may IN its wisdom determine
Besides. Porto Rico Is now a fully
organized though as yet unincorporated
Territory of the United States. and all
Territories look forward to ultimate
Statehood, as has been observed by MIR.
woodburn, the learned professor OF poli-
ties at Indiana University In his excel
lent work entitled THE American Re
public and It's Government"
The other weaker argument, aome-
times urged against the possibility or
this Island ultimately becoming state
cf the Union, consists IN the erroneous
assertion that differences in customs.

and chronological reasons stand Ia the

ien lowering of the temperature and
hiding the sun with thick clouds.
This is the meaning Of the word which
in our version is translated "stana
thou stlll," but which means literally
be thou silerr," or "desist'' or cease"
ut is Impossible to suppose" said Mr..
MAUNDER, that JOSHUA ut noon II,
igh summer in the highland of south
ern Palestine, one OF the hottest coun-
tries OF the world, wished the sun
fixed overhead for many hours. He
wished 1t to cease not from moving
but from burning" JosHUA's men
continued the chase OF their foe until
sundown, in all for about thirty miles.
1t was days march, but they covered
the distance in an afternoon, and the
expression "the sun had hasted not
to go down about whole day" Is to
be interpreted las subjective effect
of the completeness of the victory"
This very briefly is Mr.. .MAUNDER's s
explanation. But will 1t end all dis
cussion? He says that the standing
still of the sun and the moon has
been considered by sceptics as most
effective weapon against the truth of
the Scriptures. He might also have
added that when some Of the early
churchmen were not disputing over
how many angels could stand on the
point Of a needle they were debating
If the Book Of Joshua was history
or legend, and IL JEHOVAH really
stopped the sun and moon at JosHUAs
command. In fact 1t might be said
that all that has been spoken and
written about daylight saving is as
nothing compared with the breath
and ink expended on arguments over
JosHUA's long day. Mr.. MAUNDER
may find he has not ended the dis
pute, but started it all over again.
