VANISHING

Fifty persons a day, on the aver
age, disappear in Paris and a great
part of the energy of the Partisan
police is devoted to trying to locate
them. The Paris authorities hasten
to explain that these disappearances
are not an indication of the city's
crime record.
Investigation discloses that the
great majority of those who disap-
pear are wives who have tired of
their husbands and choose this as
the easiest way of solving their mari
tai difficulties.

REAL. MONEY

Italy has officially recognized that
America has taken the place of Great
Britain as the worlds financial cen
ter by changing from the pound
sterling to the gold dollar as the ba-
SIS Of the Italian gold Ira. The rea-
son, unofficially stated, is that "dol-
lars are real money, the best money
IN the world"
Rather jarring to British pride,
but these are days that governments
as we'll as individuals must deal in
realities instead Of, traditions. And
certainly the British pound sterling
as the basis Of International ex-
change values is aEtradition.

The tune of "The Star Spangled

The drinking song, "To Anacreon
IN Heav'n," was composed about ITO

met at the Crown-and-Anchor tavern
IN the Strand, London Francis Scott
heey used it to carry his famous pa
triotic stanzas.

ANCIENT vs. MODERN BUG
FIGHTING

The advice some people are giving
out about controlling alfalfa weeyil
would have been new about the TIME
the weovil first landed In America
They once used hammer traps" and
similar devises for control OF cod
ding moth. and In the old days
boy with u tin can WAS approved
equipment for fighting potato bugs
Who would want to go back To these
methods. yet some Of our erstwhile
'authoritieH'' on weevil control
would upset all the good advise Of
government and state specialists who
have been employed for years on the
problems OF finding out practical
control measures, and substitute the
methods first used with only partial
success for the later and better
methods.
Nowadays they spray apples and no
one swears that he "will cut the or
chard down" before he will submit
TO such humility Likewise they
spray potatoes for bugsl And they
are going TO spray alfalfa for alfalfa
weeyil when there is weeyll or raise
less alfalfa. Scientific bug fight
Ing seems TO go down hard with
some people, but they always come
TO Il because the bugs see 10 II that
they do. The first principle OF bug
fighting Is 10 save the crop. This
cannot be done by giving the bugs
one cutting or allowing the crop 70
go unwatered during the time II
should be growing hay. Spraying
calls for no delays In watering and
growth, and is far cheaper than
many older treatments besides.
The alfalfa weeyil may be destroy
ed In time by the parasite fly which
was introduced into America a few
years ago and more recently into the
Snake River territory. A better
distribution OF these flies might
hasten the day when they would In
crease TO sufficieE. numbers TO keep
the weevil In check. In the mean
time. Il wonld be well to bear In
mind that the weeyil have the head
start In the little mathematical game
called multiplication and II will be
some years before the game is up.
In the meantime, there must be a
lot OF spraying or plowing done.
