Another report has it that H-222 will
never be reported from the committee IN
its present form. The time for reporting
it is now overdue and no extension of time
on the measure has been asked for. rms
would lead to the conclusion that the
judiciary committee may be preparing a
substitute bill. possibly embodying some
Of the principles expressed by the governor
in his special message of two weeks back,
including a highway commission. This
would bring the highway matter to a
head at once, as the whole situation could
then be fought out in taking up this one
bill. If H-222 should be reported back
to the house this week. there would, I'M
doubleday, be majority and minority re-
port on the measure, with the majority
of the committee probably reported adj
verSely.
In the meantime there are two high
way bills including commission features
in the senate; the Taylor bill. which pro-
videS for highway board of six members to
have full control of highways, and the
Villas bill. which would substitute high
way commission of three members made
up of the governor, the state engineer and
an experienced road builder to be ap-
pointed by the governor. These two meas
ureS are now being considered by the
committee on highways and bridges.

thai body tomorrow and Will probably be
passed before the end Of the week
Whether this measure will pass the
house is another question. While Mr.
Stearns of Johnson has had the support
OF large number of the members of the
house throughout most Of the session, il
4 is now reported that his bill (H-9S), pro
vidng for the re-estabiShment of the nor
NAL schools at Johnson and Castleton is
less popular and that Mr.. Stearns may be
ready TO talk terms with the proponents
Of the state board bill If. however. the
/ Stearns bill Should pass the house and the
teachers college measure should &C
through the senate, then Il deadlock might
result which would leave things just as
they are. In this case, Mr. Stearns wou,t
really lose everything 50 far as his nor
maj school program is concerned and the
state teachers college plan would be post
poned Tor the time being, unless q com
promise could be reached. That the nor
NAL schools at Castleton and johnson vii
ever be re-eStabiished as such seem,
hardly probable from present indications

1t is further asserted that no city
which has adopted the plan has ever re-

Yet the plan has been in operation
since 1908, when Stanton, Va, officials
became disgusted with the inefficiency OF
the then method of government and
hired general manager" Numerous
triumphs of economy. efficiency and low
cred taxes are claimed for the plan and
likewise evidences of popular approval,
including that of organized labor.

Don't Get Scared.
(Grecnfield Recorder. !

Sugar refiners are doing their best to
start another rush on this staple BY
spreading the story that another short
age is imminent, with a big advance
in prices probable. If a big advance
were really coming the refners would
not be so so anxious to let US know
about it. They would sit tight and take
their profits later. Cuba's offer, made
within few days, of 100000 tons of
raw sugar at 424 cents pound, with
freight and insurance paid to this coun-
try, will probably relieve any corner
which the sugar interests anticipated
making.

Entomology, as you we'll know is that branch
of zoology which treats of insects, or insecta.
Formerly most articulates were regarded as en-
toma, or "insects," and the science of entomol-
ogy was equally extensive. The term is now
unusually restricted to the science of the true,
Insecta, Condylopoda, or Hexapoda.
There is nothing like defining your subject.
1t gives it such an authoritative air, but it does
not make any difference whether you are
extensive or restricted student of entomology
there is never lack of insects to go round, for
this is an insectivorous world, as any traveller
can we'll testify.
But insects are no joking matter, neither do
they alone given an opportunity for be-spectac-
led professors to invade fields and woods and
streams with nets to get specimens for their
collections There is whole branch of econo-
mic entomology and upon the fight waged by
men like DIR. w. E. Kinds, the state entomolo-
gist, often hangs the prosperity of the farmer.
On his recent visit to Birmingham he told
about the meeting of the Cotton States Ento-
mologists at Dallas, Tex, November 80 to De-
cember 2, where experts from all over the
south would take up the discussion of the pink
boil weevil, the ordinary boil weevil, the Mexi-
can weevil, the sweet potato weevil, the Argen-,
tine ant, the bean beetle ana oCner pests winch
are costing mankind so much in the destruction
of crops and fruits and trees.
Less than three score years ago there was
only single chronological society in the
United States while at present there are a score
or more The first chronological society of
which we have record was formed in 1912, and
was the chronological Society of Philadelphia,
which has long been out of existence. 1t is I'M
necessary to give history of other oragniza-
lions which have sprung up. The "transac-
tions," proceedings" and publications of
quite few have an ever widening circle of in
fluence and readers.
The more you know about insects the more
there is to know for just when one pest IS
gotten rid of along comes variety. No
need to tell any trucker or gardener in the Bir-
mingham district about the ravages of the bean
beetle which wrought such havoc the past
son. The insect has "a way all his own to get
about and the bean beetle having somehow made
his way to the Blocton district is busy widening
his area of destruction.

JUST LIKE A MAN

New York Correspondent Pittsburg Dispatch.
Don't park here" says an impudent little
sign on the desk Of man in the Times Square
district. Propped up against the ink we'll is
placard reading: "This is my busy day." From
the walls a series of notices tell the visitor:
"Make it snappy," "Don't tell me your troubles;
I've got troubles of my own," "This is no filling
station; drive on"
"And the funny part of it is" the mans
stenographer told visitor who was reading the
signs with an amused smile, ''that he spends half
his time gossiping with callers and statesmen
who drop in. He'll buy anything from foun-
tain pen to gold mine, and he's never too busy
to discuss the League of Nations or prohibition
with casual callers. Isn't that just like mani"

LORD CURZON TALKS
PLAINLY TO FRANCE

England, France, Belgium, Italy and the
United States as we'll, shed their blood in the
World war. No greater sacrifice was made
than that of the British in the Gallipoli cam
paign.
This combination of nations overthrow Ger
man Imperialism and saved France.
Lord Curzon was not out of line with world
thought when in address at luncheon in
London he reminded France that her safety
lies mot in her own strength, but in the con-
fidence of the world" and cautioned France
that she could not succeed by a revengeful
policy toward Germany or be permitted by iso-
lated action to Illustrate the work of the ma
lions at Washington"
Following her new-found independence Po-
land undertook to be an invader. 1t was the
natural outcome of generations of hate. But
the allies told Poland that the new philosophy,
expounded by President Wilson in the Id prin-
ciples, was the autonomy of all nations, new
and old, large and small.
France must realize that the matter of ar
maments concerns not only herself and Ger
many, but all the nations. To permit an ex-
ception to the rule is to destroy to large ex-
tent the program which the world is demanding
of the Washington conference.

crossing the Mississippi river and after getting
a foothold on this side made no rush to con-
quer the seaboard states and yet by degrees
he kept coming until now he is well, if not
favorably, known over practically the whole
cotton area. But the attack of insects upon
useful plants is no new thing. 1T doubtless be-
gan with their first cultivation, but it was not
until the end of the eighteenth century that
any means for mitigating their ravages were
employed beyond han methods and other pure
ly mechanical measures.
A few crude efforts were made among the
farmers and fruit raisers of the Mediterran-
can shores toward the suppression of insect
pests, and Pliny even advised the use of hello
bore, one of the modern insecticides but it
was about the middle of the nineteenth centu y
that insecticides insect poisons began to be
generally adopted. It has been put on scien-
tific basis. Entomologists like DIR. Kinds are
on the watch tower in every state to fight the
ever encroaching army of insects. Just at
present he is waging ants and reports
that the $4,000 cups put out in Selma have
worked wonders.

SEND A DELEGATION TO
MUSCLE SHOALS

The Civitan club, by its energetic action yes
terday paved the way for all the civic organi-
cations of Birmingham to join in welcome
to Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison when
they come to Alabama.
Perfunctory invitations will not serve the
purpose, if Birmingham really wants Mr.. Ford
and Mr.. Edison to visit this city. large
delegation must be sent to Muscle Shoals as
an evidence of Birmingham's interest in this
great project which will add millions-to the
wealth of the south, and to show that the
souths chief industrial city is eager to pay its
respects to these two captains of industry.
The Civitan club has shown a commemorate
spirit in taking up the matter. At meeting
to be held this morning the other civic organi-
zations of Birmingham should join the Civil
tans in whole-hearted invitation and make
preparations to send representatives to meet
Mr. Ford and Mr.. Edison.
Unfortunately the impression has been ere
ated that Birmingham is lukewarm toward the
Muscle Shoals project and the offer of Mr..
Ford to lease the property. These doubts can
be quickly dispelled by the business and pro-
fessional men of Birmingham if they will get
together and extend greeting to Mr.. Ford
and Mr.. Edison whose warmth and sincerity
can not be questioned.

put out one every year, and the new machine

LIKES INVITATION IDEA

az think the idea of sending delegation to
Muscle Shoals when Ford and Edison visit
there, mighty fine one," says w. v. M Rob-
ertson, Jr
"f necessary, it would be to our benefit to
send man to Washington or New York if we
can interest these two men in Birmingham.
They should be officially invited and person
ally invited to come here.
"The project they have in mind will be a
wonderful thing for Alabama and the south.
What they have in mind sounds like a page out
of a fairy tale; the value of the development
and its effect on industry and agriculture will
be almost inestimable
"By all means Birmingham should have these
two men as visitors, and hope that with action
already taken and that which is planned, that
the suggested visit will become a reality.
"The Age-Herald, by its editorial suggestion,
has given the idea the proper kind of impetus"
