SPRAYING BY PLANE.

Speaking of the victories of peace
an army airplane with a sitter attach
ment did battle with an army of cater
pillars which had attacked an Ohio ca
talpa grove. The morning after the con-
fict the ground beneath the trees was
strewn with millions of dead caterpil-
lars. The experiment was entirely sue
cessful.
The plane was borrowed from an army
flying station. 1t was equipped with a
crude but effective hopper for scattering
powdered arsenate of lead. The plane
flew a little above and to windward of
the grove. The breeze carried the powder
to every leaf and twig, and 5000 trees
which had been menaced with swift des-
tructiOn were saved.
1t is a good indication of the POSSIBLE
tiles of the airplane for other than mill
tary purposes and the desirability of a
governmental air program which will
provide for the development of air serv-
ice along all lines:

COLLEGE SALARIES.

SO much has been said about the mad
equate salaries paid public school teach
ers that there is a general idea that their
COMPENSATION is about the lowest in any
line. This is not strictly true. College
professors and instructors in many cases
get even less, for corresponding work,
although much more is expected of them
in the way of preparation and research.
Vassar is one of the colleges whose
graduates are now trying to raise endow-
ment funds for the purpose of raising
salaries. At present the highest salary
paid a professor at Vassar is $4,000, the
lowest 81, 200. In no case do the salar-
les include room and board. The hope is
to get them to range from 81 800 to So
OOO
Even the municifent amounts hoped
for would not seem very attractive to the
equally competent business man as the
highest possible reward of a life of self
sacrificing and highly intelligent labor.
Yet these absurd salaries have held in the
past men and women of the highest type.
As in the ministry, the opportunity for
service has been the controlling force.

Northern Vermont bakers are appealing
in increasing numbers to their state dele
CATION in congress for help in situation
which they assert is causing them great
hardship. 1t relates to the competition
which they are facing from Canadian
bakers who are shipping bread into Yer
mont border towns without the payment
of any duty. 1t is claimed in this COM
plant that the Canadian bread-makers
are selling their product for cent per
loaf less than the Vermont bakers can
afford to sell theirs. Further, the Cana
dams are accepting payment in Canadian
currency, which is at a discount of about
10 cents on the dollar. This, it is claimed
presents a competition which it is not pos
sible for the American bakers to meet.

taken this subject up with Senator Dill

Somebody once said: Give a man a

same way with Babe Ruth. Let him
any of the common things on the diamond,
such as laying down bunt or stealing a
base and he has performed wonders. His
every play is Immediately magnitied into
something very marvellous, when, as a
matter of fact there are many players in
the big league who are every bit as good
as Babe and some of them better except
for the one thing-long distance hitting.
But they are not featured their perform
ance is taken as a matter of course. 1t
may be that the sport writers are doing

A new coin fresh from the mint of
Heaven?
When the skies are bright and the birds

And men and Earth seem newly

There is peace for the soul-for the body,
balm
A magic which banishes pain and care,
And we yield ourselves to the mystic
charm
OF the odor of grass and the sun-sweet
air.
Our common troubles grow faint and
small,
Our fears grow faint and our doubts
subdued;
And our faith in the blessed Father of
Is somehow strengthened and much re-
