Jean Chassagne, driver of one
of the two Peugeot entries re-
presentaing France in the India
napoIis race on Memorial Day,
was the unlucky man who was
followed by a jinx, being elimi-
mated from the running by one
of the most peculiar accidents
ever recorded.
On the I5Oth mile. terrific
wind pressure tore the cars hood
from its fastenings. To run
that way is a violation of the
rules, so Chassagne was notified
that he would have to replace
the hood or get out. The nervy
Frenchman set out at touring
speed to find the missing part.
He and his mechadic scanned
the grassy infield for a complete
circuit-but no hood was to be
found. A second circuit was
made with freuuent stops so that
the grass might be searched
but the hood had vanished into
thin air.
With smile of resignation, the
man who had travelled all the
way from Franceto race, shrug-
ged his shoulders in true Gallo
nonchalance and drove q hood
less but sweetly running car to
the pits; utterly out of the rum
ming.

Work Required TO Rid Farm Of
Weeds.

There is no short cut to weed
prevention or determination, both
hard work and system being re-
quired, according to E. C.
Vaughn, a member of the Bot.
any Department of the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, who has estimated that
there are more than 125 varie.
ties of weeds in Kentucky which
should be destroyed. An &C.
casional crusade will give only
temporary relief but a systema-
tic campaign lasting through
every month and every year will
succeed with less expense in the
long run.
Bearing in mind the fact that
prevention is better than cure,
the farmer should be very care
tul in the purchase of seeds and
should make an earnest attempt
to get those that are free from
noxious weed seeds, even though
the cost may be much greater.
In case of doubt as to purity
samples should be sent to the Elk.
pertinent Station for analysis,
and judgment should be based,
not on the per cent of pure seeds
but on the per cent and charact-
er of weed seeds contained in the
sample.
Care should be taken to pre-
vent the introduction of objec:
tionabIe seeds by threshing ma
chimes, clover hullers, used grain
bags and screenings. All i'm
plements and machinery that
could possibly carry seeds should
be carefully cleansed before
moved from one farm to another.
Screenings containing weed seeds
should be boiled if used for feed
or burned if useless.
Weeds should not be allowed
to ripen on the farm. Some,
such as amaranth, have incon-
spicuous flowers and produce
seeds before their presence is
suspected. For this season weeds
should be cut as soon as possible
after their appearance.
Some weeds may be crowded
out by quick-growing. thickly
seeded crops especially if the soil
is kept in good condition. Most
of them may be held in check by
a good rotation including one
closely cultivated crop every
three or four years.
Land should not be permitted
to be idle, but some useful crop
should be kept growing when
even possible. The task is not
ended with harvest, for some
weeds mature later in the fall
and the seeds scattered about in
various ways. produce weeds the
next spring.

WANTS TO REPLACE
HAMILTON SCHOOL
School Board to Make Strong
Appeal to Extra Session
of Congress.

Definite plans for appealing to the
next Congress for an emergency ap-
preparation to provide for the con-
struction of modern open-air school
to replace the Hamilton School, now
used to quarter thirty-four white tu-
bercular children. will be made 10y the
board of education at its regular
meeting at the Franklin School this
afternoon at 1 O'Clock. Members of
the board are convinced that not only
is a new school needed, but larger
appropriations for equipment. includ-
ing "A sufficient sum to provide motor
transportation. also are required.
1t is understood that the board will
take action authorizing Supt. Ballou
to consult with the Commissioners
and other officials of the District gov
ernment to ascertain the cost of a
new building. and also recommend
that an appropriation for this pro-
posed project be asked of Congress.
the school should be i'm the city
proper and in close proximity to "a
car lire, as one of the criticisms of
the Hamilton School is that il is not
in an accessible location.
Some board members are of the
opinion that about six , porta Bile
structures should be secured as tenn
porary quarters for the children now
at the Hamilton School. and that this
building should be aba ndoned. 1t
will be brought to their attention.
however, that no portables are avail
able and that the Hamilton School
will have to be utilized until a new
building is erected.
Recommendation of Supt. Ballou
calling for changes in textbooks in
the elementary school in September
will not be submitted to the board for
its action. as planned. School Off
Gals believe that the board should
defer action on the proposed text
book changes until DR.. BalIou re-
turns from Atlantic City, where he
is attending the annual convention of
the department of superntendence of

it is our desire to keep the operating
costs of the utilities company at as
low a figure as we possibly can. at
the same time being just to ourselves.

with the present wages and believe
drop a satisfactory situation will pre-
v2.il before the end of the year.
