Birth Of Males in
Montenegro Shows
A Big Decrease

CETTINJE, Montenegro, June
24.-There has been an alarming
decrease in the birthrate Of Monte
negro, due to the loss during the
war of so many Of the "Black Noun
tain's" fighting men. The govern
ment offering premiums to moth
ers who bear male children. The
female now greatly outnumber the
males.
The incentive offered by the gov
eminent to mothers of male chill
dren have resulted in pathetic APP
peals from the untutored peasant
women to the American Red Cross
nurses to give them some medl-
cine to make a boy"
In Montenegro boys are consid-
cred much more valuable than girls,
and the constant prayer of the
mountain dweller is that she may be
blessed with a male child. This dis
parity in the sexes is largely the
outgrowth of the days when Tur-
key held dominion over the Balkans
and when the liberty-loving Mon
tenegrins had an ever-present need
of men to defend the homeland.
In Montenegro the women do all
the work, the men considering man
ual labor undignified. They feel it
their chief duty to carry firearms
and swords, talk politics and pre-
pare for the next war.

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN AID
IN SWELLING PARTY FUND

q good thing when they do not util-
ize the financial capability of Mrs.
Harriet Taylor UPTON. She was the
treasurer of the American Woman's
Suffrage association end carried the
greater part of the burden OF f1nan-
cling the cause during the lean years
when suffrage was not the popular
movement among women that it be-
came later. She tells this character
istic story Of, herself.
"A long time ago the American
Woman's Suffrage association plan
ned to hold big meeting here to
Washington where we hoped to
raise a lot Of money. I made all ar
engagements and laid one thousand
dollars for the use of the Columbia
theater. On the day planned the
Maine blew up and in the excite
ment the crowd failed to come to our
meeting.
Mrs. Cats Advice
1--WE were left very much in the
hole. It was up to me to borrow
the thousand to pay for the theater,
but as a person who looks poor sell
dom has success in borrowing
money, I took Mrs. Gait along, who
looks rich, in going to see a wealthy
woman I knew who might advance
the funds. She lent us the money.
But it was a long terrible struggle
for us to pay it back. When we
finally managed to do it, Mrs. Gait
sent me a letter with the cancelled
note, saying:
Dear Harriet: Stick this in your
mirror to remind you that it is al
ways easier to borrow money than
it is to pay it back
eff I had really carried out Mrs.
Cats suggestion and stuck all of my
cancelled notes in my mirror, there
would not be room enough to powder
my nose
Mrs. Blair Bannister, sister OF
Senator Carter Glass Of Virginia
who is making arrangements at the
Democratic headquarters for the
women's financial committee, has
made some interesting observations
on the woman campaign contribu
tor
There is novelty for women In
being a campaign contributor. We
do not get the same wearisome re
Spouse from them that we do from
the men. For men within the party
it is no novelty to be asked fol
money to carry on the work. AS q
rule, it means much more sacrifice
for a woman to give to the party
than it does for men, because they
must take it out of their own bank
accounts or allowances. In some in
stances Republican husbands whose
wives are Democratic will not allow
them to give, we have learned. Mos
of the money raised by the woman'E
committee will be used to promote
organization work among Demo
cratic women"

$1,000 Appropriation
Is Sought for Pecan
Research Experiment
BY THEODORE TILLER
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
403 Fuana BUILDING

WASHINGTON, June 25.-An
amendment to appropriate $4,000
for experimental work in pecans was
offered in the senate Saturday by
Senator Harris, of Georgia, and will
be considered during debate on the
deficiency appropriation bill. Sem
ator Harris said appropriation of the
amount would permit the establish
ment of an experimental station for
pecan culture in his state.
The work Of the federal depart
ment of agriculture in Investigations
of peach insects and diseases with
headquarters at Fort Valley, will be
continued during the next fiscal year
beginning July 1, according to an
assurance given Senator Harris Sat
urday by the department of agri-
culture. Secretary Wallace said the
chronological Investigations were
carried under funds for deciduous
fruit Investigations and the patho-

Purse-Proud Republicans
Have Not Asked Feminine
Contingent for Contribu-
tons to Fill War Chest
BY CAROLINE VANCE
Leasad Wire Service to The Journal.)
lConYright. 1927

Copyright, 1922
WASHINGTON, June "a. - Stub
bornly refusing to ask the aid Of
their women, the Republicans are
setting doggedly about replenishing
the party war chest. The Democrats,
on the other hand, are not so sly,
and soon a committee of one hun
dred women will be announced which
will be known as the National Wom-
ans Finance Committee of the
Democratic party.
The woman within the Republican
party is in the position of the PAM
pered and petted wife of a reputedly
wealthy man who keeps his financial
worries to himself. The Democratic
woman is like the wife of the man
who is poor and proud of it and ex-
poets his wife to be a helpmeet as
well as a help-eat.
The Republican party is not Ia
menting in public that they are in
need of funds, because they have the
they are the opulent party. The
Democrats have always featured the
fact that they are poor and have not
even minded the appellation the
great unwashed host of democ-
any, 41O AelSL 1C1IlcIIIIS LI1uI OOIIl
parties emerged from the last presi-
Dental election with huge deficits
and with the congressional campaign
already upon them, financial aid
from women could well be used ~
both parties.
The experience first gained by
women IN conducting profitable
church suppers and fairs will stand
them in good stead In politics where
huge sums Of money are needed in
the modern political campaign.
"Women are good at raising
money" says Mrs. Harriet Taylor
Upton, the leader Of the Republican
women, land they can make it go
twice as far"
However" she continued, "I am
not lying awake nights thinking of
ways to tease EN- into giving me
that esponsibility."
Ingenuity of Women
The Democrats fully realize the
capabilities of women and some of
them believe that women are far
more adept at raising money than
the men. An observer at the last
me ting of the Democratic national
committee was struck with the men
tai activity the commlttee-women eX-
hibited along financial lines.
The women seemed to be able to
present more plans for raising money
than the men and in more detail.
They were ingenious about it, but
their plans were not always practi-
cal. For some Of the plans the ma
chinery to carry them out would
have been very cumbersome indeed.
Other financial plans proposed by
the women were extremely clever
and were adopted by the committee
as a whole. Most of the committee
women were CoCksure that they
could raise the quota from their state
and in many instances they raised
more money than the committee
men.
The Republicans are overlooking

Dear Folks: Gracious. when I
wrote that I would publish that
diet list for "the mothers who
care" I hadn't the least idea what
a really great amount of en-
thusiasm it would create.
Am just delighted that you feel
such an interest and 1 am here
with giving the dinner diet.
Cordially,
Dinner Diet:
Dinner, Or the heaviest meal,
should preferably be in the middle
of the day. This is not feasible when
the child must hurry from school,
eat rapidly and rush back; nor when
the child must carry his lunch to
school; nor when the mother can
prepare but one dinner a day and
the father must have his at night.
For a light midday meal, give a
vegetable soup, bread and butter
a simple dessert, or the meal
which will later be indicated for
supper.
An ideal dinner should consist of
soup, meat, vegetables, bread and
butter and dessert.
Clear meat soups or broths have
very little nourishment. Soups for
children should be made from dried
peas or beans, with fresh vege-
tables, such as potatoes, spinach
carrots, peas and onions; such
soups with the addition of rice or
barley and a small amount of milk.
make very nourishing dish.
Meat should be given but once a
day, and the quantity should not
be large. Lean beef, mutton, lamb,
chicken and such fish as cod,
the fresh fish of the delicate meat
that come in southern waters, but
no dried or salt fish. AS a rule,
cold meat should be avoided by
young children because it is rarely
chewed properly.
Vegetables should form large
part of the diet, especially in sum-
mer. Potatoes, baked, boiled or
mashed, should be given practically
every day. Almost all vegetables
except corn, cabbage and cucum-
bers may be used freely after the
fifth year. Corn should not be
given before the twelfth year
Bread and butter should be given
always.
Dessert. With plenty of bread and
butter and vegetables dessert is
not essential. When given, it should
always be plain. The most whole
some desserts are cereal buildings
with fruit, such as rice, oatmeal,
baked Indian or bread pudding or
plain cookies, or cake and cocoa or
fruit custards, junket, ice cream
or ices, stewed, dry or fresh fruit.
sliced orange or sweet chocolate.

Marquis of Huntley
May Marry Rich
American Widow

LONDON, June 24.-The an.
nouncement that the Marquis of
Huntly was going to marry an
American widow has caused the
limelight of publicity to shine far
more brilliantly upon him than If
his castle had been burned down by
Sinr Feiners. Several Irish peers
have had that distinction thrust
UPON them of late, but they have
not, in consequence, been written up
anything like as extensively as has
the Septuagenarian marquis.
He is seventy-fiVe years old. He
is described as the handsomest mem
Der Of the peerage and the most
courtly manner. He celebrated his
golden wedding in 1919. His first
wife died a few months later. There
were no children by that marriage.
He is the premier marquis of Scot
land. He has eleven other titles be-
sides that of marquis. He has been
lord-in-waiting in his time and has
captained the gentlemen-at-arms.
Both are purely ornamental posts.
The former pays something like

thousand. He has never had to do
any real hard work, but despite the
popular American notion that hard
work, and plenty of it, is essential
to health and longevity, he is re-
MAJ kably robust and, according to
one chronicler who claims to know
him personally, thinks nothing of
walking fifteen miles a day." There

can millionaires who could do that
at seventy-f1ve. He comes of ancient
and first-rate fighting stock and
has all sorts of blue blood in his
veins. His ancestor, Sir Adam Cor
don, Of Huntly, was killed at the
battle of Homidon in 1902. The
third earl commanded with Lord
HONS the left wing Of the Scots
army at Flodden field.
Ike fourth earl was killed in &C.
ton, while the next Huntly knew
what it was to be sentenced to the
block and to find himself chancellor
of Scotland on his reprieve.

Extend the Area in Alfalfa

CUR farmers are seeking ways and
means by which they may increase
Inc revenues Of their land from
crops other than cotton. The incen-
tive behind this movement is the
uanage which the boil weevil has
wrought in our cotton fields. Even
!! the boil weevil had not invaded
the southeastern states it would still
nave been highly desirable for us to
increase the landed area devoted TO
Aorage and hay crops. We have
never produced enough of this kind
VI 1oodstuffs to meet our local re-
qulrements in the past, Without
cotton to pay for hay and grain in
lne future we must of necessity
raise more of these crops at home.
VI that essential program of diversi-
ncatlon about which so much has
peen said and written.
In crisis like that by which we
are confronted it is natural that
tnere should be much inquiry as to
what we can best undertake to do,
ana desire to take this opportunity,
therefore, to emphasize the impor-
lance or our concentrating more of
our effort and attention upon the
cultivation Of alfalfa than we have
thought wise or necessary up to
this time.
Alfalfa is not a panacea for all
our ills. 1t is not crop which we
can expect to develop and grow on
millions of acres of our land. We
can, however, grow thousands upon
thousands Of acres of it, and it I'M
ooubtedly is one of the most desir-
able crops which we can establish
and cultivate, particularly on the red
lands of the southeastern states. 1t
IS doubtful whether this crop will
DO very we'll in many parts of the
coastal plains area, and particularly
on sandy lands. In those sections
other plants can be cultivated posi-
Oily to better advantage, but in the
PIEDMONT territory in particular, al
1alfa is a crop which should be cher
lshed and the cultivation of which
should be extended as rapidly and
completely as possible.
TO begin with, alfalfa is a Ie-
gume. Therefore it enriches the
land If it is properly inoculated
when it is first established. Unless
this is done it will not prosper, but
will soon sicken and turn yellow and

This new discovery, which is cal1eu Alex
ander's Rid-O-Fly, is not a poison. Though
it kills flies like magic. farm animals and
human beings are not affected by it at
all. In addition to killing these insects,
Rid-O-Fly is a strong repelant. Flies will
not come near stock or buildings where Rid
Oily has been used Rid-O-Fly is partic-
ularly valuable for cows and horses as it
is known fact that flies do untold harm
to these animals.
So confident is Dr. Alexander that his
discovery will rid your house, barns and
live stock of these pests that he offers to
send $500 supply for only $1.OO on the
guarantee that if Rid Oily does not solve
your fly prob ems it will cost you nothing.

is held in check, minimized or de-
stroyed the damage in succeeding
years may be much less and may
possibly be eliminated altogether.
A good way to add to the GER
tainty of destruction of this weevil
is to keep hogs running in the
orchard. Hogs will gather up and
eat practically all the immature nuts
as soon as they fall to the ground
They will also eat up those which
are damaged by the weevil. AS q
result large proportion of the in
sects may be destroyed in this way.

vent this trouble another year.
The damage to your pecans seems
to arise from injury done the ma
ture nuts by weevils. These insects
bore into the shell and lay their eggs
in the pecan. The egg matches
therein and the worm feeds on the
fruit. The small holes shown in
the picture are direct evidences Of
this infestation. Nearness to hick-
Dry trees is a predisposing cause to
an infestation of this character. If
there are hickory trees near your
pecan trees destroy or remove them.
The control of a pest of this char
acter is exceedingly difficult. A
spray would not be effective, as the
insect does not eat over a large
enough surface to be injured by a
spray. Control is best accomplished
by gathering the nuts from the trees
and burning the infested ones. All
the nuts, as soon as gathered, may
be treated with carbon bisulphide
for the purpose of destroying these
weevils. This is an important mat
ter, because if the crop Of Weevils
