The Manufacturer and Art


 w. Frank Purdy, president of the Art Alliance of America, planes the indus tries of the country for retarding the de- velopment of American taste and of the cultivation of our native talent. lie writes in Arts and Decoration:
 Have the American people good taste. or is 1t lack of an appreciation on the part of the buying public that has been largely responsible in retarding the cultit vation of our native art talent, and in minimizing the importance of it's applica- tion to American industry?
 Personally, have . very large and deeply rooted faith in the instictive ar. sense of the American people as whole, and firmly believe that even if hitherto the cultivation and practical use of our town art talent has been neglected, ands as consequence, our general art sense has lacked stimulation, that we are at this moment, as people, in a most re- ceptive mood, and that our inherent love of beauty and harmony will respond readily to consistent suggestion, and must eventually assert itself in the high est possible standards. of aesthetic taste. Put the element of beauty, art, honesty in color. line, form. texture-into every article we manufacture. put it there through properly trained American tall ent, display 1t in our shops in a better and more attractiVe way than nas DeeH our custom, and then question the taste of the American people.
 Not so much lack of ta-t@ on the part of the American people. but lack of foresight on the part of still too many of the American manufacturers and dea.- CTS to stimulate and satisfy that tAstes as well as failure on their part to giva the public full confidence in American talent. is at present one of the greatest obstacles in the way of the successful development of a national industrial art for America. Our public knows now, today. what it wants. It wants ko0d things. and will have them wherever the market

 Hundreds of fire fountains began play irg on the numerous lava lakes and sheets of flame gushed intermittently from beneath the crust surface.

SWEET POTATOES TO
 SUPPLY NEW SYRUP

Washington, February 10.--(Special.)- The government has seriously undertaken the production of syrup from sweet po- tatoes Machinery has been sent by the department of agriculture to Fitzgeraio' Ga., where experimentation on large scale will be undertaken. The depart- ment believes that it's plan will prove suc7 cessful and that another southern ln- dustry will be developed
 was worked out in the laboratories of the bureau of chemistry by Dr. H. c. Gore. The syrup is rich in sugar. of fine brown color, and highly palatable. It has been found to be valuable in baking, candy making and table purposes. It is stated that many persons think it equal to cane syrup.
 While the product is a success from laboratory viewpoint, the department IS not in position to recommend it to manu- facturers until the cost of commercial production and the market value Of the product, in comparison with other syrups, can be determined. The possibilities or the sweet potato syrup industry lie large ly in the utilization and marketing or a part of the crop which heretofore has not been practicable either for stor- age or shipment. Potatoes that are too large or too small for table use or for canning are as useful for syrup-making as perfect potatoes.
 The process which was developed by pr. Gore has been patented by the depart- ment of agriculture for the benefit of the public The apparatus required is 60 simple and inexpensive that plants couid be established within team-hauling distances of growing centers, as is the rase with cannaries.

B()LL WEEV|L SAFE FROM POISON GAS;
 KILL 0FF HUMANITY
Agricultural Department Says Pests Are Too Sturdy and Dosage Would Imperil Hu-
 manity and Live Stock
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 snn Davidson Buildiuq

Washington, February 10-tSpeclat)- Wide publicity given to the story that the agricultural department had deter mined to make us of war gases in the fight against the boil weevil, is declared by the department today not only to pc dalse but obviously false.
 It is pointed out that gas oppressive enough to exterminate the weevil would exterfninate also every human being and animal within a radius of miles. The department will continue the use of ar senate of lime, a poison. J. L.. Webb, acting in charge of southern field crop insect investigation, bureau of entomol- ogy, makes the following statement:
 There is no foundation for the report. No plans have been made or are in con- temptation by the department of agri- culture for the use of poison gas against the boil weevil.
 .'Several times since the signing of the armistice, the theory has been put for ward that the poison gases developed by the army could be aivantageously em- ployed in combating the boil weevil. IL is safe to say that no one who under stands all the factors and conditions in- yolyed has ever considered the plan feas- ible A little thought devoted to the sup- iect will make clear the fact that the release in cotton Yields of the south 0l NoiutucS OA uceoiy POlSoi 6oS be to menace the life of every human be- ing and animal within it's reach. Fur thermore, it's effect upon the boil weevil would be problematical.
 "Observations made by experts Of tnis bureau indicate that heavier dosage or gas would be necessary to kill boll weevils than would be necessary to Kill human beings. Insects are sometimes quite tenacious of life and are able to withstand conditions which would aD- solutely be fatal to human life.
 .sThis bureau has developed plan of boil weevil control which is safe ana effective. The plan involves the use of arsenate of lime, a poison, which IS dusted upon the cotton plants by means of machinery manufactured for the purpose Eradication of the weevil is impossible. It is possible, however by means of this poison to keep down the number of weevils to such an extens that a good crop of cotton can be raised. It should be pointed out, however, that the only purpose served by the use or this poison is its effect upon the weevfs. It will not insure a good crop of cot ton if conditions are such that good crop culd not be raised if the weevii crop could not be raised if the weevil
