REAL THRILLS IN QUEEN OF
SHEBA" CHARIOT RACES

The big surprise in Queen of
Sheba' the William Fox super spe-
clai which opens two days engage
ment at the Pastime theatre today
is the chariot race. 1t is so exciting
that hundreds of people have asked
how it was made. J Gordon Edwards,
who directed the filming to the story
for William Fox, answers the ques-
ton as follows:
There is no secret about itYou
can't keep a motion picture set con-
tanning 5000 people and covering $50
acres a secret. We simply built the
area, put on the races and photo
eTaphed them from every angle we
could think of. Two of the chariots
overturned, giving Jim Murphy, a
driver, the narroWesr escape or his
career. Tom Mix, the cowboy star,
did some thrilling riding for us bv
way, Of what he called "whooping it
up. ;ld Betty Blythe and Nell Craig,
driving chariot apiece, proved that
they were as skilled and as daring
horsewomen as ever I'd seen in my
lita. That's about all I can say"
Il might be AIDED that it took weeks
Of work to arrange for the race and
the thousands of dollars were ex-
pended on it. Special music at the
evening performance by Mrs. Hatcher

REMEDY FOR PLANT LICE
K. S. A. G. Expert Gives Receipt For
Spray For Trees

Kansas weather this SpriRg, al
though fine for growing crops, |.
also favorable for the aphis family
known as plant lice. q. w. Rees
sent branch from an elm tree, af
fected by the lice to the State Agri
cultural College and the following
information regarding the destruc-
ton and habits OF the pests has been
received from Prof. A. A. Dean OF
the department Of entomology at the
college.
The lice are very bad this year on
plum, cherry and elm, and they are
particularly destructive to garden
plants such as beans, peas, tomatoes,
cabbage, cucumbers, muskmelOns
and watermelons, according to Pro-
lessor Dean.
They are small, soft bodied, green
ish insects, easily recognized They
gather on the under side Of the
leaves. extract the sap and usually
cause the leaves to become curled
and eventually killed. If great
number of the leaves are thus de-
stroyed it will cause the death of the
entire plant.
The lice reproduce rapidly espcc-
tally in cool, damp weather and it is
necessary for the grower to keep a
very close watch i'm order that the
insects may be controlled before
great damage Is done.
Since some of the plant lice pass
the winter in the egg stage on the
stems of plants, as the cabbage aphis
ON the cabbage stalk, all remnants of
the crop and all weeds growing in
and around the garden should be
burned in the fall. In the spring.
weeds and wild grasses should not
be allowed to grow around the gar
den.
The melon aphis infesting melons
and cucumbers usually first appears
on isolated vines throughout the
patch. The grower should keep
close watch In order to locate and
destroy these first colonies. The in
Tested leaves or portion of the vine
should be pulled off and buried. In
most instances, just as soon as the |
plant lice are discovered, the plants
should be sprayed with either a nico-
tine sulphate or strong sOapy
spray. The nicotine sulphate is used
1t the ratio Of one-half pint to so
gallons of water plus two pounds of
common laundry soap. In making
mall quantity, use one ounce Of mic
time sulphate to six gallons of soft
water plus four ounces Of soap.
The sOpay spray is prepared by
issolving one poud Of laundry soap
n six gallons fsoft water The
pray should be applied thoroughly
0 the under side Of the leaves where I
he plant lice congregate. /
