UNCLE SANS FUMICATING
WATTS

@, Western Newspaper Union.

90 RAPIDLY does the world move
~ nowadays, so numerous and va
ried are the wonders which are
wrought by the ingenuity Of our ex-
perts in various lines and so quietly
is the work carried on, 1t frequently
happens that the general public knows
but little of the marvels that are
among US.
For instance, down on the Texas
border-at Laredo, to be exact--the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture operates a fumigating plant or
vat which is sufficiently large to ac-
commodate a train of fifteen freight
cars at one time.
Freight cars arriving in the States
from Old Mexico are infected with
live, pink bollworm-a pest which
feeds and devours the unripened pods
of the cotton plant. If permitted to
enter and scatter in this country, it
would, provided it gained much head
way, create losses running into the
millions of dollars annually.
To prevent this loss and preserve
the crop, therefore, such cars are un-
tremendously shunted into these yats
and the unwelcome bollworms aboard
accorded Knockout reception.
This plant resembles a long. brick
shed. After the cars are received,
the doors are closed and the plant
is flooded with gas, generated on
the spot, the fumes of which are sure
death to bollworms. At the end of
All hour or more. the gas is drawn of,
the cars removed and sent ON their
way and the plant is ready for the
next incoming train
Other similar. but smaller. plants
are located at varicus Ioh~g points.

APRON WORN AS ORNAMENT
Women Of Cxecho- -Slovakis Don Gar
ment With q View Of Attracting
Masculine Eyes

In the villages and country portions
Of Czecho- Slovakia the women do not
wear aprons as badge Of work. On
the contrary the Czech0- Slovakia maid
does not put her apron on when she
enters the house-she d0ns IL only
when. she is going out to capture the
eye Of some swain who long has paid
her court And these aprons usually
are heirlooms. Green il the favoFite
color. Next in popularity come gold
or yellow. silver. pink, blue. cerise and
flaming rose. Usually the embroider-
les which display these colOrs are upon
dark foundations. Some, however, are
white. In both types gay ribbons some
times play part. And often the white
mutton sleeves of the waists are gay
ly embroidered to complete the radiant
effect the wearer's apron lends AS she
strolls down the street or along the
country lane.
Their skirts are usually black and
always short. Their stockings are for
protection In their walks as well as for
display. Some have small. bright de-
signs knitted into the dull black. The
waist-length jackets they wear are
usually quite plain, save for the hand
made lace around the bust and on the
sleeves. The head shawls sound the
varying color note. But It is in the
aprons that the love of color is more
clearly shown.

Not Enough Amateurs.

Speaking recently In London, Lord
de Walden expressed some views
anent the musical amateur. He held
that the sad thing about the amateur
was that there was not enough of him,
that he should be IS per cent of the
population and 1t did not matter how
badly he played. The worse he played
the more modest he was likely to be.
From bad amateurs was drawn the
audience who listened to good pro-
fessionals. The ordinary taste Of the
amateur was just as likely to be good
as bad. IL depended upon what he was
first offered. Cultured taste was real
ly the only bad taste In England and
he would rather trust the ordinary
crossing sweeper for an appreciation
of music than the gentleman who had
come from public school, Lord de
Walden also insisted that 1t was OBJ
vious that the English were musi-
cal as that the French were not. and
claimed that larger audiences of anna
teurs would result IL all concerts In
England did not take place practical
iy In one plot In the west end of
London where there were 1900 times
too MANY concerts for the ground on
which they were given.

-Four Major Crimes in England.

In England there are four crimes
punishable by death-setting fire to
the royal dockyards or arsenals, piracy
with violence. treason and murder.
Death was in former times, in Eng
land, the ordinary punishment for all
felonies. Blackstone refers to 100 Of
fenses as punishable by death. some OF
them of nature which appears
trivial. For instance. a man who cut
down tree or impersOnated Green
wich pensioner generally paid the life
penalty. Due TO the exertions Of Sir
Samuel Romilly. this severe criminal
code gave way towards the end of
the reign of George III TO more hu-
name conceptions. Since the statute
Of 1891 there have remained only the
four crimes punishable by death.

unconsciously an allegorical portrayal
of the character of Shelley himself
who. in "Alastor," has painted himself
as an idealist isolated from human
sympathy. Helen Moore, in her life

ject.

Sunday as DAY of Rest.

Sunday ought to be day for tuning
up the health of the soul, mind and
body together. 1t does not at present
fulfill this function because IL is treat
ed simply as day of idleness. Rest

When II 10 Solved Il May BE Believed
the God Of War WIN ss
Dethroned.

Al present we know Of but three
posssible sources Of new energy
solar energy. the internal heat Of the
earth. and atomic disintegration,
writes Floyd w. Parsons In the
Worlds Work. The aforementioned
source Of energy is Just now attract
Ing greatest attention. We know that
the atoms Of radium are In constant
process Of breaking up. We know
that this disintegration liberates en-
ergy, for II has proved that the tenn
perature Of the air surrounding n
piece OF radlum Is about three degrees
higher than the temperature beyond
Its vicinity. However, scientists have
been unable to increase the flow of
energy from radium by heating the
metal to q temperature as high az
that Of the electric arc. Nor have In
vestigators been able to slow down
the disintegration of radlum atoms
BY placing the metal In q temperature
Ms low as that of liquid air. In other
words. we are easily able to observe
all Of the phenomena Of radio-activity
and yet We cannot control this activ-
ity. That is the problem science 10
attempting to solve, and one day when
the answer is written. the whole
course Of human life will be so
changed through the utilization of the
new knowledge that past revolutions
will appear Of small consequence in
comparison.
When we have discovered the Sc
cret of the atom and can control its
force. It is likely all nations will be
ready and willing to lay down their
arms and abolish their armies and
navies. Statesmen will be glad to sit
around table and compromise their
differences without any talk of force,
for a power will be available in the
world so mighty In its potentialities
that no person would dare consider
its use except for some constructive
purpose.
