If it should be deemed necessary and
wise to have governmental supervis-
ion over organized industry in order
to protect the public interest. I per-
sonally would not object, provided the
laws and rules shall apply alike to or
ganized capital and organized labor.
Many years ago the request of a SEN
atorial committee, l submitted the
draft of bill for consideration that
seemed to me then to cover the case,
but there was lack of time or disposi-
tion to give it immediate attention.
One of the most hopeful signs of the
times is the apparent disposition of the
present Administration at Washing
ton to aid rather than obstruct the ma
tural and legitimate progress Of busi-
ness. Anyone who Intentionally fails
to appreciate this desire or neglects
to cooperate to the limit of his ability
is his own worst enemy.
Purchases Delayed.
What can be done by the steel in
dustry? Experience has more than
once demonstrated that the mere re-
duction of selling prices does not bring
large and satisfactory business. Would
be customers are delaying purchases,
except for immediate and imperative
uses, until satisfied that a sound and
stable basis of prices has been estab-
lished. There have been reductions
and readjustments. Others may be
necessary, even in the steel business.

general public.
| It is well known that at present, un-
| less and until wage rates are further
decreased, the costs of many steel pro
ducers will not permit lower selling
prices. This presents a serious prob

conditions wage rates should not be
reduced until or about the time sell
ing prices are lowered. | also believe
it would be unjust to further reduce
wage rates before the costs of living
are lower, not, of course, including

difficult to secure supply of human
bodies for dissection purposes in their
classes. In fact the difficulty is so
great that several of these institutions
have nearly given up in despair and
are trying to think Of some way to
eliminate this disagreeable feature
from their courses Of study.
The strange turn that the situation
has taken is that certain officials of
medical colleges are attributing the
shortage of bodies to the prohibition
amendment; and this is actually being
urged in some quarters as an argu-
ment for it's repeal.

POISON TO KILL
INSECT ENEMIES
Gardener Must Keep Up the
Fight From Time Of Sowing
Until Harvest Time.
LIVE OVER WINTER IN SOIL
Principal Means Effective Against the
Destructive Pests Are Applied as
a Spray or as Bait in Form
Of Bran Mixtures.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment Of Agriculture)
Destructive insect pests give the
gardener or farmer n fight from the
time he puts his seed into the ground
until the crops are ready for market.
Left alone, they would devour every
useful plant in the garden. The sue
cessful gardener is the one who
studies the habits of these pests,
learns the means of combating them,
and keeps constantly at 1t.
The gardener who starts with clean
soil has done much to keep out in
sects and diseases. Many diseases
and insects live over winter in the
soil, and one OF the best ways to avoid
trouble is to plant each vegetable in
different part Of the garden every
year. Some OF the worst garden trou-
bles are brought in on roots of plants ;
consequently, in buying plants of any
kind one should be sure they are
healthy and free from insects.
Use Some Kind Of Poison.
In spite of the best precautions, In
sects will attack healthy plants. The
principal measures effective against
| them are various kinds of poison, gen.
orally applied as spray or as q
I poison bait, in the form of bran mix
lures. The kind of poison to be used
! depends upon the insects method OF
feeding. Some bite and chew the

BY the end of the first week the

Explains Moon Superstition.

The notion that the moon Is dan
eerous while one is asleep is so firmly
fixed even in the modern mind that
very many people would not will
lngly go TO sleep in the moonlight. Yet
science has proved the connection to
be entirely fallaclous.
In an old saga one reads story
which explains the origin of this SUI
perstitlon. 1t seems that warrior
who was being pursued went to sleep,
and that its changing path caused the
moon to reveal him TO his enemies.
Luckily he awoke before they killed
him, and ne escaped. But the strain
was so great that he became mad.

DlARlST PAINTS A PORTRAIT
While Setting Down Record Of
the Daily Events.

No man has ever yet succeeded in
painting an honest pcrtrait of himself
in an autobiography, however sedu-
lousy he may have set to work about
it. In spite of his candid purpose he
omits necessary touches and adds SUI
perfluous ones. At times he cannot
help draping his thought, and the least
shred of drapery becomes disguise.
II is only the diarlst who accOmplishes
the feat of self-portraiture, and he.
without any such end In view, does II
unconsciously. A man cannot keep a
daily record of his comings and goings
and the little items that make up the
sum of his life, and not inadvertently
betray himself at every turn. He lays
bare his heart with candor not pos
sible TO the self-consciousness that
inevitably colOrs premeditated revela-
