the club has insisted is illegal.
Among the first group of answers re-
ceived were letters from E. J. Robson
and Thomas c. Howe, the latter the
News-Jewett candidate for the Repub-
lican mayOralty nomination. Mr.. Robi-
son answered fully and frankly that he
was in favor of applying all market
revenues to the improvement of the mar
ket and not diverting market revenues
to the general fund. Professor Howe
on the other hand wrote much and said
little.
Since that time letters have been re-
ceived from Edgar A. Perkins, B. NJ

the nomination for mayor on the Demo
cratic ticket, and Adolph J. Meyer, can
didate for the same Office on the Repub-

swers to the questions asked by the COM
mittee.
Favorable replies were received from
the following Democratic councilmantc
candidates: Andrew J. Blueher, First
district, who not only favors all things
advocated by the club, but also is In
favor of naming a woman as assistant
market master; Peter b. Shaffer, Third
district; william Z. Clauer, Third dis
trict; Robert NJ. Madden, Fourth district,

The Ingram Is the first ship Of the
Navy to be named after an enlisted man,

break a long established precedent by
thus honoring the memory Of an Amer
lean, hero, who, in this life, never rose
above the rating of a gunner's mate.
Osmond X. Ingram served on the Cas-
sin, and the Cassin was patrolling in
Irish waters-where submarines were
thicker than almost anywhere else in the
seas.
On Oct. Is, 1917. the Cassin sighted a
Uboat, and put on all speed to reach the
spot where the periscope had shown. But
the quarry had submerged. The Cassir
kept up the search. A half hour passed
and there was no sign of the enemy

show of fight the U-boat ducked again
and quit the combat
Help came for the Cassin, and she was
taken to port, repaired and returned to
service.
But Gunner's Mate Ingram had given
his life to save the ship and the crew.
That is why the long established prece-
dent was broken and an American ship
was named after an enlisted man.
I rather think the American people will
say I was Justified in breaking the prec-
edent.

so many instances of personal bravery,

damage is done at first, though the
Argentinians find 1t inconvenient to
have locusts throughout their houses.
but as the insects move through the
country, they dig small holes and lay
their eggs. Soon the larvae are
hatched, and at that time, before they
can fly, they are destructive. By the
time they are ready to leave, every
living thing in their path is destroyed.
Eventually they fly away to parts un-
known, and the farmers have to start
their crops over again. Squads of To-
Gust destroyers. like fire-fighting units,
are maintained by the government to
combat the pest, and ranchers are also
responsible for fighting them. Their
efforts are almost unavailing, how
ever, because of the myriads Of the

COMBINE ART WITH ~movIEs-

Educational Purposes.

In order to attract the children Of
Toledo to that city's museum Of art
the museum management offers its lit
tie visitors '.story hours" gallery
talks, music hours, classes in pure and
applied design and the educational
motion picture. Interest in visits to
the museum was first stimulated
through the medium of an organized
bird club. Thousands Of children
have also been brought to the
museum during the last four years
by means of the annual vegetable and
flower shows in which the children
have participated.
''The Toledo museum was the first
to include motion pictures in Its edu-
cational plan when. In the autumn of
1915, the necessary equipment was
presented through the efforts Of H. Y.
Barnes, then assistant to the d.
rector" writes Eula Lee Anderson Of
Toledo. "This proved not only a fur
ther magnet to attract boys and girls
to the museum but a further means
Of teaching art. During the drst few
years films dealing with travel. crafts
and art were difficult to secure. yet by
dillgent search many fine things were
made available. including the life Of
Palissy. the. famous potter. and .

the making Of silk.
"The policy Of the museum Is not
to amuse by means of the flm. but
to educate the child along artistic
lines, using only such productions as
are of distinctly cultural quality"
