HINTS TO GARDENERS

The cutWorm is the champion pest
OF destruction OF the Bug army, says
the American Forestry association,
on how to battle the plant enemies.
He is the Seventy Five,' animal ar
tillery for action. This destroyer is
called the '.army worm" and poison
bran mash is the thing for him, the
association points out.
Poison bran mash is ia mixture of
Paris green, bran, syrup and water.
Here is the fatal com bination: Bran,
large quantity, twenty to twenty-five
pounds, small quality, one quart;
Paris green, large quantity, one-half
pound, small quantity, one teaspoon
full: common molasses, large guam
tity, one quart, small quantity, one
tablespo water, just enough to
thoroughly HlGisten. :#
>Cutworms generally hide under de-
bris or rubbish or in the ground dur
ing the day, and come out to feed at
night. A single broad cast applica-
Ition in the late evening of poison
bran mast is generally sufficient for
effective control of these troublesome
pests. .u.,,ssL ,.s
A vegetable poison known as he!-
lebore, which, is manufactured by
finely grinding the roots of the white
hellebore plant, has been used quite

A UNIQUE LINCOLN MEDAL

Anton Erickson, Norwegian-Am-
erican metal engraver of Minneapolis
celebrated Lincoln's' birthday by
completing on that day unique
Lincoln medal. On one side is en-
grayed a striking likeness of the
great American, and on the other the
entire Gettysburg speech, detailing
1900 words, including dates and the
artists name. The medal is of gold,
the size of a one-cent piece, and
though the text cannot be read by
the naked eye, it is easily descipher-
ed under a magnifying glass. Erick-
son learned his art in Norway, but
came to the United States about 10
years ago.

"BLANkET BILLS"

As Charity covereth a multitude of sins. so Blanket Bills may follow Charity's example.
 Blanket Bills" are to be deprect- ed. This. chiefly because man is ex- tremely human and inclined to take the less troublesome way if he secs that not too much harm will result in the general good that will be done.
 An instance in point was the occa- sion when many in this city desired to have the budget prepared by the board of finance and taxation cut down in the matter of appropriations. Those opposed to the budget. and dosirous of lower tax rate. tried to adopt. at the city meeting, another budget in it's en- tirety. In that document many of the appropriations were cut. Some justice In the "cutting" of certain approprid- tions was seen by many. Other cuts. grouped with the possible ones, were ridiculous: It would have been impos- sihle under the law to make such cuts.
 Hut those clamorlng for the lower AhA iHAt NauNeu 10 GCJ " the eaSleGt and quickest way. They did not bother to listen to the claim that some of the items included were cut below the possible point. They eaJlcd for n vote on the whole thing"
 When the appropriations committee Of the legislature withdrew. yesterday. the blanket bin covering increases in salaries for various offices. 1t did wise thing. The separating of it into Is separate bills. each of which may be considered on its merits. although a more difficult way in which to dispose of the matter. certainly gives a greater chance for right action in each case. Legislators will not have the opportun- ity to take the easier way The in clination to pass a blanket bill, wise for the most pai, though it may con. tain some inperfections. in order to facilitate the work Of the Legislature will be counteracted.
 Many bills are. in effect. "blank. bills'--they touch matters not frankly mentioned in the measure. They are dangerous as frank blanket bills are dangerous in lesser degree

Manila, F. l., April 24-(DelaSed) Apology to Supreme Court Justice Elias Finley Johnson was voiced to- day by President Manuel Quezon of the Philippine Senate for criticisms of the jurist last December on the floor of the territorial senate Pres ident Quezon. in speeches, criticised Judge Johnson for what Quezon con- sidered an arraignment by Johnson of the adT11inistration of former Govern or-General Francisg Burton Harrison. It was statement the jurist made just, prior to his departure for the United States 1s.stssN ovem ber
 QueSon had also attacked Judge Johnson for decisions rendered sev-s eral years ago, one of which involved an act of former Governor General Probes in deporting lawless Chinese.

WISE OR JUST CLEvERg

It is indicated that President Hard ing would he quite willing to have the Borah amendment to the Naval appro- priations bin extended to contemplate including armies in the conference on disarmament to. be called by the United states.
 This sounds well; but is there any thing about the suggestion that lies be- heath the surface of that pleasing ap- pearance?
 President Harding is in no hurry to ,all the conference planned by the Borah amendment as it stands. at this moment. That amendment refers only to Naval armaments. There seems to be no good reason. as far as naval mat ters so. why the invitation to Great Britain and Japan should not be given at once. if there is reason for 1t at all.
 But if the amendment were changed to include n consideration of the armies. two things would be necessary. France and Italy would logically have 10 be in- cluded in the invitation-and the invi- tation would have to be postponed. for certainly neither France nor Great Britain would accept an invitation. at this moment, to discuss disarmament of land and sea forces. with the condi- tions as they arc fin Europe today.

gaining an unenViable distinction among members of the medical fraternity who are specia kzing in public health. Difficulty has been encountered in the past whenever a superintendent of health was sought and many who were eligible for the position and who could have been appointed decided that life was more pleasant where they were. Bad news travels fast It is now gener- ally known that this city has little to offer in return for services in the department. And until Mayor Curtis makes up his mind to play a hands off, policy and take the health de- partment out of politics this situa- tion will continue,
 
 In the course of a recent statement widely published, Roger w. Babson, the eminent economist, takes occasion to strengthen the hearts of the na
 lon's business men by predicting that commerce has seen the bla,ckest days of the depression. Incidentally lie ad. vises an increase in advertising appro- priations as one means of improving business.
 Part of his statement follows:
 Business will be quiet, but in many lines there should be some improve ment. It you have weathered the storm or the past seven months you can take courage. it this stage of the depres- slon the main problem is selling Cut down your production expenses as far as you can. Do without further ex- panslon in new building and euuip- ment, but don't stint on your selling appropriation. Now is the time to Iso that reserve fund which you set aside during the fat years. Later in the de- precision area we shall come to tic time when you should increase your plant, but this summer increase your advertising. Take the aegressiya course. There will be considerable business, and the firm that goes after 1t will be the one to get it."

They're talkin' bout the jit- neys; common folk like you an me ain.t bothered much by questions that involve a theory O what would benefit us most if this or that was so - the answer to our problem is the thing we want to know. If trolleys was struck off the map. would jitneys fill the bill? If we lived on a mountain peak could trolleys mount the bill? If schedules were changed about an gasoline was cheap an airplanes butted in would we have nightmares in our sleep?" Sich ques- tions are beside the point; we fails to work 'ern out: they only muddle our poor brains an leaves us more in doubt. The thing that we all want to know is how, on any date, we're goin' to get down to work on time an not be late. Must we all wait or walk or bump along in trolley car in order that the trolley stock may jump right up to par? Must we be forced to ride in tits. if trolieys suit us best? Must we all live accordin' to another mans behest? It seems as though commissions should consult the peoples will-not make the slight upgrade O life wind up a sleeper hill.
