monty called DEVILS Bur, were re-
vealed to the Department Of Agricul-
ture during a nationwide weed sur
vey now in progress.
This vine produces spiny seeds
which attach themselves to automo-
bile and bicycle tires, which carry
them long distances. 1t is not only an
opportunist, but an migrate, because
it is causing widespread trouble to
motorists and cyclists by puncturing
their tires. The possibilities for
damage from this plant are illustrat-
ed by the experience of California
man who was reported to have had
seventy punctures in one tire, all due
to the puncture vine. The weed is
considered so serious in California
that the California State Department
Of Agriculture has published a num-
Der of special articles on the subject.
The plant is being spread with rapid
ity in sections of Arizona where it
never was previously known.
The puncture vine is known scien-
tifcally as Tribulus terrestris. 1t is
native of southern Europe, and
was probably introduced into Amer
lea by means of burs contained in the
fleece of sheep. The fruit, or bur,
splits at maturity into five sections,
each equipped with pair of spines
about one-fourth Of an inch long.
The sections lie on the ground in such
a manner that one Of the spines al
ways points upward, ready to enter
the first tire that comes along. In
one California county it is estimated
that half of all the punctures in BIZ
cycle tires, and large proportion Of
punctures in automobile tires, are
caused by this weed. The burs also
cause severe damage to wool. The
plant has been known as ground bur
nut, caltrop, and has recently re-
ceived the apt name of automobile
weed. In addition to California and
Arizona, it has been reported from
Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska,
Kansas, Arkansas and Texas. Hope
for it's eradication in fields is given in
the fact that it is an annual and can
be controlled by repeated cultivation,
thereby preventing the formation Of
seed. Along roadsides, however, the
plant cannot ordinarily be controlled
by moving, on account Of the low,
spreading habit Of growth. Even af-
ter being closely cut, burs are apt to
form on the ground. Department ex-
perts are planning to test the possi-
bilities of exterminating the plant
along the roadsides by spraying with
chemicals, such as crude oil or iron
sulphate.

Joseph Fagin, president Of the sopho-

of New York, decided yesterday that
things needed little stirring up, and
had Louis Warshow. president of the
junior class, kidnapped. The expert
ence, Joseph thought, might impel
Louis to indulge in physical exercise
and, perhaps, inspire other juniors to
bestir themselves.
Warshow was called from his class
room, seized and thrust into q taxi
cab, with the admontion to keep still
because the Ku-klux Klan had him.
Joseph's surmise was correct. Louis

were informed that a man was being

Spirited Rendition
OF Carmen" Given
By San Carlo Co.
Mime. Ferrabini i'm Title Role
and Miss Kettle as Micaela
Win Warm Praise; First
Act Fight Strenuous Affair

The performance of Bizet's Carmen
by the San Carlo Opera Company at
the Manhattan Opera House last eve
ming was nothing il not spirited. The
animation started when Conductor
Pcroni raised his baton AMI; the di-
rector's fiery reading Of the score was
well sustained by principals and chorus.
In the first act the ladies of the ciga-
rette factory were particularly lively
and the victim of Garments onslaughts,
shrieking wildly, battled with vigor
worthy of Miss Geraldine Farrar in her
most ardent moments.
Nine. Esther Ferrabini, in private
life, Nine. Agide Jacch;a, wife Of the
conductor of the Boston Pops, was an
excellent Carmen. Her beautiful voice
was we'll suited to the music and she
sang with greater warmth and elo-
Cucnce than other Carmcns heard in
recent years with larger opera COM
panies. Her acting was effective, spon-
taneous. yet free from the exaggerat ted
vulgarity too often assumed by singers,
who imagine that one need only be
vulgar to be the woman of Bizet's
opera.
Miss Madeleine Kettle, one of the
best Micaelas on the operate stage to-
day, again appeared in the part in
which she won warm praise last sea-
son. There was little to commend in
Mr.. Corallo's performance as Don Jose.
Crude in song and action, he was
always q tenor conscious of his vocal
strength, but innocent of fnesse or
the power to suggest the character Far
better was Mr.. Rogers Escamilo. His
fine voice was skilfully used and in
appearance and behavior his toreador
was an imposing figure.
