says l must rest or completely col
lapse" the letter said.
In the announcement Mrs. Tyler
praised the work of the khan, referred
to her promise to, "stand by the guns
until the enemy has been vanquished,'
but explained that the illness Of Mrs.
Jett, which she said may prove fatal,
made the resignation necessary. She

ing mo official connection" with the
khan but declared that after her res
ignation as assistant in the propa-
cation department she would "always
be with it in spirit"

SHERIFF'S SLAYER,
3 OTHERS, ESCAPE

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. IA
Four prisoners. all said to be desper-
ate men, and including Luther BORN,
who killed Sheriff j. l.. Smith, of
Bradley County, few months ago,
escaped from the Hamilton County
Jail some time today and are still
at large.
Besides BORN, the fugitives are
Arthur Henley, serving a term for
felonious assault; Ira Henley, con-
victed of highway robbery, and j. H.
Rouch, held for forgery.
Sheriff's officers believe the pris-
oners walked out with parties of Wis
itors, this being visiting day at the
Jail and several denominations hold
ing religious services in the institu-
ton. II is the theory of Sheriff Bush
that clothing had been smuggled to
the men along with the saws with
which they escaped from their cells
by saving thru steel plate.

FLAPPERS NOT WANTED

Swarthmore, Pa, do not consider the

pursuit of higher education. Girls
must cease to be flappers or attend
college elsewhere. The position of
the college on the "flapper question"
is summed up in this sentence form a
letter sent to prospective students:
1--WE hope especially that the mothers
of our girls will agree with us that ex-
tremes or eccentricites in style of
dress and coiffure are not indicative
of the good taste which college
women should preserve" Never
theless some of the Swarthmore girls
we have seen are genuine flappers.

Combating Chinch Bugs Shown in
Window Display.

In Morgan County, Ind, the agri.
cultural agent demonstrated by a
window display the method of COM
batting chinch bugs. A box 3 feet
long and feet wide, and about
inches deep was filled with sand,
some small corn plants being set out
at one end and some wheat stubble
and timothy at the other. A coal
tar barrier was placed around the
edges of the box and chinch bugs
were placed in the, wheat stubble.
Part of the corn patch was protected
by a coal-tar barrier
The exhibit was set upon Thurs
day and displayed until Saturday
night. The barrier line was renew
ed twice a day. By Saturday morn
ing the corn that the chinch bugs
had been allowed to reach was COM
pletely wilted, while the protected
corn was still in perfect condition.
Through this display several tnous-
and people were shown what chinch
bugs are and how they affect corn.
Two other exhibits of this kind were
put up in different sections of the
county.

~ any, benefit, for even after the
coolest winter nearly all the eggs
hatch. The advantage gained from
nonhatch is offset to some extent by
the injury to parasites of the moth
caused by cold weather
II is not supposed that any reliance
can be placed on control of the gypsy
moth by means of extreme cold, since
temperature can not be controlled,
but investigators are interested in
the explanation as to why there has
been only slow increase of the gypsy
moth in many regions where food
conditions would seem to point to the
reverse.

Very Low Temperatures Kill Gypsy
Moth Eggs.

Investigations carried on by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture relative TO the effect of ex-
tremely low temperatures ON gypsy
moth eggs have shown that when the
thermometer registers from 80 de-
grees F. to 25 degrees F. the eggs do
not hatch unless they are protected
by snow or ice. Many localities that
have these temperatures regularly
have not been infested. Maine and
New Hampshire, except on the sea-
coast, receive the greatest benefit
from non-hatch due to extreme cold.
Central and northern Massachusetts,
also derive considerable benefit in
certain regions. Connecticut, Rhode
Island, the southern and eastern parts
of Massachusetts,, and the coastal sec
tion Of New Hampshire derive little,

Notable Progress Reported
Better-Sires Movement.

There is every reason to belive that
the replacement of scrub and grade
sires by pure breds is on the increase
Reports received by the United States
Department of Agriculture from
county agents in various parts of the
country show that the Better Sires
Better Stock" movement is having
noticeable effect. A recent state
ment by NJ. G. Lewis, county agent
of Rockbridgg County, Va, is typical
of large number.
1.-The pure-bred bull movement. -
says Mr.. Lewis, ''is progressing rapid
ly. Since January /, 16 farmers have
disposed of grade or scrub bulls and
are using registered bulls instead. on
the other hand, there are no less than
80 men in the county who still per-

gress and development of the live

ing inferior grade or scrub bulls.
have list of Sc ownersof such bulls.
Some of these men have grades that
are fairly good individuals, while
others have scrubs that are the worst
kind of a disgrace to the community
and to the county.
1.-The cost of good registered bull
is so small now that it is a mystery
why any farmer will keep anything
else. Many records have been kept
during the last few years to prove
out the actual value of a pure-bred
bull in dollars and cents"
Some Of these actual figures were
obtained recently by the Department
of Agriculture through an inquiry
s5nt out to more than 500 farmers
throughout the United States. These |
men gave it as their opinion that in |
all kinds of farm stock pure breds |
have an earning power more than |
40 per cent better than common
stock. 1t is noteworthy that in the
case of dairy cattle, whose produc
tive power can be easily measured,
pure breds were considered to be AIS
per cent better than common cows.
The lowest percentage given for any
kind of stock was 36.S per cent.

DOCTORS FEES IN COURT

1t has always been "a question as
to how much a doctor should charge
and the fact that the charge varies
with patients rather than with SER
vices has frequently been criticized.
The matter was recentlythreshed out
in London court where a wealthy
patient alleged that a doctors
charges were unreasonable. He cited
among other things that the doctor
charged SIS for merely being pres-
ent at an operation in which HI took
no part. The Judge il. ruling admit
ted that there was no standard to go
by in fixing fees and could be none
since most doc ors treat poor patients

recognized the necessity popular doc
tors feel of KEEPING M a considerable
establishment and good socia. sta

theory that doc or may get all III
can out of rich patents to make up
for free services to the poor. The
decision, however. wa; a compromise.

Disgusting Joint and Crack Filters i'm
Concrete Roads.


Unsightly black lines, sometime
jagged and irregular, which mar the
| appearance of practically all concrete
roads and which are due to the natu-
raj color of materials used to fill
joints and cracks, will be avoided by
the use of material for the purpose
developed in the laboratories of the
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture, if
tests by actual use prove as success
full as expected. This material has
the some color as concrete, and when
used to fill cracks and joints the
surface has the appearance of con-
tinuous and unbroken slab to the
casual observer.
No particular advantage over other
good materials is claimed for the
preparation other than its color, and
it is probable that the cost will be
somewhat higher but not prohibitive.
For several weeks a section of road
with expansion joints filled with this
material has been under observation,
and the results are entirely satisfac-
tory, but longer test will be neces-
sary before it can be recommended
for general use.
The mixture consists of approx
mately ~ parts rosin, / part crude
rubber, with sufficient barium sui
phate to give the desired color. In
preparation the rubber is dissolved
in gasoline, and the rosin is then
mixed in with an application Of heat,
the coloring material being added as
required. Any desired consistency
can be obtained by varying the pro-
portions. A material with remarka-
bic adhesive properties is produced |
and which can be heated so that il |
will flow into the cracks and joints.

Cattle officially tested during June
1922, for tuberculosis numbered $780,
S86,SS6 according to a summary is
sued by the Bureau Of Animal Indus
try. United States Department of
Agriculture. This figure exceeds
the normal amount of tuberculin test
ing by several thousand. or all the
cattle tested $50 reacted, thus dis
closing about per cent of tubercu-
lous cattle.
The removal of such animals from
herds otherwise healthy is gradually
bringing about better health among
farm live stock, safer milk supplies,
and many economic benefits. The
popularity of tuberculosis eradication
is evidenced by the length of the list
of herds waiting to be tested. At the
end of June there were applications
on file for the testing of 1929
herds. containing more than half a
million.
