TIE Range Of the Fly.

A most interesting experiment was
conducted by the Bureau Of Entomo-
iogy, U. s. Department of Agriculture,
to determine the range covered by
flies.
approximately $4,000 flies Of DIFF
ferent species were busted with pow
dered, red chalk and liberated. Fly
traps, baited with food highly relishsd
by flies, We're placed at various dis
tances. BY this means the direction
and flight Of different species were
determined.
Some of the flies Travelled 1000 feet
In few minutes. The screw-worm
ny covered distance Of half mile
In three hours, while the black blow
Gy covered anywhere from half mile
TO eleven miles in two days. The house
fly covered over six miles in less than
one day.

STEWARD LET DOWN LIGHTLY
In View Of silly Assertion, One Would
Have Liked to See Him More
Harshly Handled.

A hotel steward said to be known
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and
for forty years nm observer of peo-
Pile who eat In public dining rooms,
is reported as saying at n convention
of public food purveyors that "Amer-
lean women have forgotten how to
rook." The gentleman speaks with
out knowledge of the facts. We may
excuse him only because he has been
penned up In public eating places for
SO many years that he has lost all
sense of proportion and lacks facts for
comparison. American women have
not forgotten how to cook. Their
good. wholesome. well-prepared food
for home dining room feeds, and feeds
amazingly well. 80 per cent OF the pop
plation. So general is good home
cooking that every man forced by cir
cumstances to get his meals at public
places regards himself MS unfortunate
because he cannot always eat at home
or at somebody else's home. This ho-

BRITISH EDITORIAL OPINION.
London, Nov. 1.-THE London
Times says in an editorial: President
Harding Of the United States set the
right note for the Washington confer
ence when he assured the delegates
that he welcomed them not alone for
their high purpose, but for their high
faith II that faith be strong enough,
general enough, and continuous enough
In the masses of the people whose Wills
are the force behind the conference,
success IN the great objects Of the con-
ference will, be attained
An editorial In the Daily News says:
by single gesture America has
al affairs. A despairing world has
been shown path Of salvation. This
path, which was missed at Versailles,
is revealed once again at Washington
as broad and straight"
The Daily Express says In an edI-
tOrial: valiant IL staggering is the
proposal of the United States. 1t
brings an ideal to the verge of practi-
cal politics."
The Morning Post In an editorial
says: Fleets and armies are but in
struments of warfare. Neither France,
America, nor Great Britain desires to
spend one penny more than the sum
requisite to secure that justice and
those rights to which President Har-
ding referred"
The Daily Chronicles editorial says:
"The world Is In debt to the United
States for its broad humanity and In
cisive vigor. 1t is our English way to
turn over critically all proposals af-
fecting the strength Of our navy, but
it should be at once said that, upart

600 feet, which is % per cent less
than In 1919, and % per cent less than
the peak in 1907.
The average price of lumber at the

which is raise of $50 per cent since
1910. The aggregate value of the cut

They are based upon reports from 49,

thousand mills cutting less than 50,.

AMERICAN EDITORIAL VIEWS.

comments made on Secretary Hughes
proposals for the limitation of arma-
ments:

America has cut the ground from un-
der the feet of those who would ma
NEWER, hesitate and delay.
Buffalo Express-The United States
is saying, In effect, to its only rivals
for sea power: I'VE will stop this COM
petition for naval armament If you
will, we will sacrifice If you will, and
we will sacrifice more than we ask you
to give up VIII they? How can they
refuse?
Detroit Free Press-If well begun Is
half done, then the world has the right
to hope for great things.
Providence Journal = The sacrifice
will be more apparent than real. The
relative naval strength of the powers
is to remain practically MS 1t is. No
country will be more exposed to in
vasiOn or conquest or more efficient In
offense by reason Of the plan.
Boston Herald-Mr. Hughes address
Is simply business, straight, specific,
definite. The peoples of the world are
waiting upon Washington with anxious
hearts.

of the conference and it's manner Of

Local Tax Rate Not
Likely to Raise

LAMBERTVILLE-The City Com
missioners are awaiting the announce
ment of the County and State tax
rates for 1921, which will determine
the total amount to be collected for all
purposes.
Now that the purely municipal and
school rates will not have to be raised
there is a strong hope that the County
and State will not change, 50 that
there may be no increase in last years
rate of 1857 for all purposes.
Many have feared thai County and
State rates would bring the total over
S4 this year, even though the local
authorities have kept theirs down to
the old figures.
The surplus of $500 carried from
1920, due in part to the receipt of
$4,000 from the State for local work
on streets last year and the ANTICIPATED
sum of $4,000 this year, provide for
$1,000, which would otherwise have
added about % cents to the tax rate.
The anticipated income of $17,500 for
the schools also make a difference of
about 68 cents per 500 of valuation.
Otherwise the city and schools would
have added about 60 cents to the tax
rate, bringing it to S4.63, had it not
been that the City Commissioners con-
sidered these sources in making up
their budget and to provide for their
expected receipt accordingly.
While increased valuations may
make a slight difference in the rate,
it is not believed that there will be
sufficient increase in either the city or
County to change the total rate many
cents

BROKEN RAIL AT
TITUSVILLE

LAMBERTVILLE-Local travellers
over the Belvidere Delaware Railroad
between this city and Trenton Won
dered Tuesday why trains slowed down
so sharply and shook up the passen-
gers before reaching Titusville. 1t was
due to a broken rail, wi ich but for
its timely discovery might have caused
serious accident.
1t was discovered in the early morn
ing, nearly opposite the rubber mill
this side of Titusville, large piece
being broken out of the head where
two rails Joined. 1t is believed to be
due to frost, as this kind Of accident
sometimes happens in winter.
For some hours, until another rail
could be placed in position, trains were
tagged across it at a snail's pace, the
wheels dropping sharply into the de
preston. Some of the passenger trains
pass this point at mile-a-minute clip,
and had one happened along before the
break was discovered a serious acct
dent would have been almost certain
to have resulted.
