HARD FIGHT TO BE WAGED
AGAINST THE CORN BORER

Supprcssivc measures against the
European corn borcr are to be applied
vigorously this spring in the western
part Of New York State to test the
possibility of preventing the natural
spread Of this pest Specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture in charge of the work have
about completed their plans, which
will be carried out in cooperation with
State agencies.
The infested area where the expert
ment is to be tried out borders on
Lake Erie and partly on that section
of Canada where the corn borcr made
it's appearance last year. The fight is
to be carried against the insect while
in its winter quarters. The corn stub

the fields since last years harvest will

tacks to the flockS Of the immediate
vicinity i'll which they are kept, but
travel for miles in all directions,
spreading destruction in the hockS
with which they come i'm contact
Because their work is so often done
under the cover of darkness ii is al
most impossible to catch them in the
act of worrying sheep, hence they can
seldom be positively Identified
After Il dog has once formed the
habit of killing sheep it seemingly
becomes a mania with him and he is
seldom if ever broken of it. He not
only destroys sheep himself but leads
other dogs to the work. No conSid-
GRAFTON should be given such dogs
and if additional losses from this
source are to be avoided, they should
be killed as soon as their habits are
known.

Heads and Chnrnctnr

Even one of the most plausible of their statements. namely. that a high forehead IS sign of intelligence, has been den.u- itely disproved by the painstakinE studies of Karl Pearson. He demonstrated ex- perimentaliy that the color of the hair or Its straightness or curliness. shows ones inelligence better than does a high forehead, although these are not offered either as good indices Tn other vsrdr. there has been found no definite rela- tionship between any single peeullarity of the shape of the head and any trait of Character.
 For many years an Italian eriminol- ogist, Dombroso. made a study of crtm- inal structural pecularities and their re- lationship to crime. He found well mark ed tendencies for criminals 10 peesess certain stiguoata or signs, but untortu- nately the signs of the criminal were found to be widely prevalent among those whose names had never been upon police blotteTs. IL was his pet scheme 10 havO ali individuals who were marked by peculiar sign watched by his de- tectives. thus preventing crime instead of merely punlshing it after 1t had been committed. It was entirely imprae- ticsble, for the characteristic sign of a murderer was found in altogether too many tender-hearted individuals to make the scheme at all feasible.
 All systems of similar nature h which relationship has been sought be- tween traits of character and peculiari- ty of the structure. have met about tha same fate.-Henry Foster Adams.

COMMERCIAL PLIERS

Sew 1ork, July 4.-Ths Manufaetur- CTS Aircraft Association. on completing an aviation survey of the United States, announced today that. in tine last six months, the 1900 commercial planes in operation in this country had flown ap- proximately 5.25o,o0o miles.
 The record says the survey, shows that civilian flying. although embarrass- ed by the lack of an American air policy has established itself as remarkably safe and dependable means Of transpor- tation. In three and a quarter million miles of travel by aiy only 1b persons were killed and 4s injured in a total Of 27 serious accidents. Most sf these ac- cidents occurred among that class of civilian aviators known as gypsy flyers.

Industrial Education
It's Progress in Maine

DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, State
superintendent of public schools, de-
clared Wednesday that industrial
education which seeks to help the
student do better the desirable things
of life which he is likely to do any,
way, is crowding heavily upon the
department of education for CO.
operative attention.
I'VE have at present 81 schools in
which are conducted courses in home
economies, 26 agricultural High
schools. 43 schools teaching indus
trial education of a pre-vocational
type, six vocational schools, SO with
departments of business and COM
merce and Is Americanization schools
with 1000 in daily attendance" said
DR.. Thomas.
"All of these activities require the
attention of the department" con-
tinued DIR. Thomas. application
must be made for such federal and
State support: the work must be
visited and inspected; and final re-
ports of the work accomplished must
be filed and funds distributed ac-
cording to their needs.
"At the present time f. X. jenkins
occupies the position of director of
industrial education under the State
board Prof. Herbert Hill is the
supervisor of agricultural training,
assisted by Mr.. Roy Thomas Miss
Bernadine Cooney is the supervisor
of home economics in day and even
ing schools. The position of director
of trades and industries is vacant at
present but will soon be filed. Mr.
Jenkins is occupying the dual posi-
ton of director and supervisor.
Besides all of this work the de-
partment is taking additional lines
of Americanization and rehabilita-
ton Of industrial and other cripples.
It will be necessary in the next few
days to fill the position of director Of
trades and industries and provide for
some one to take charge Of the work
of rehabilitation. This position will
be cooperative between the state and
the federal governments"
