MAKING STICKY FLY PAPER
ing Pests That Have Gained
Access to House.

Sticky fly papers are Of some value
in destroying flies that have gained
access to houses, but they have
marked limitations and numerous OBJ
jectionable features. For use out Of
doors traps are much more effective
and economical.
The following method Of preparing
fly paper is given in Farmers Bulletin
734 recently reissued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture:
Take two pounds Of rosin and one
pint of castor Oil, heat together until
1t looks like molasses. Take an Ordi-
nary paint brush and smear while hot
on any kind Of paper-an old news
paper is good-and place several about
the room. A dozen Of these may be
made at a cost Of one cent"

Who First Licked Stamps?

Dispute is being waged as to the
earliest postage stamp Ticker. Claim
Is put forward for James Chalmers Of
Arborath, Scotland, who submitted
specimens Of adhesive postage stamps
to a select committee Of the house Of
commons in 1884. Rowland Hill is also
credited with the invention. having ex-
perimented with glutinous washes in
1887. AS Rowland Hill directed the
British postal arrangements, he was
probably the first man to lick a genu-
Inc post office stamp.

QUALITY OF CREAM TO WHIP
Per Cent of Butter Fat and
Kept Very Cold.

The best cream to whip is good, rich,
raw cream, from "a to 4S hours old,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. 1t should contain at least
80 per cent butter fat to produce
ideal results, and be kept very cold.
Pasteurization tends to lower the
whipping quality of the cream, and
homogenization Is very harmful to it.
Combined they practically destroy the
value of cream for whipping.

In constructing the trap two of the
hoops are bent in circle Us inches

of an ordinary barrel head with the
bevel edge sawed Off sufficiently to
cause the head to fit closely In the

Portions Of the Top.

ployes and employers has been held
or if the conference diSagrees
Indeed even if so-called repre-
sentatiyes of the workmen did
agree to something which a large
body of their fellow workmen who
were organized in a union or I'M
organized didn't like, the United
States Railroad Labor Board can
take cognizance of the controversy
on petition from any group of
workmen and thus get the case
into it's hands for decision. So,
after all, even though the Pennsyi
vania railroad or any other carrier
retains the right to prevent the
United States Labor Board from
interfering in the manner in which
the employees pic ktheir spokesman,
the law provides check against
misrepresentation. And that's why
Judge Pages verdict on that point
is not considered essential.

DOl0 ne Sdlu III part
What Judge Said.
II have reached the conclusion
that it was the belief of congress
that the results desired by the leg
lslation could be attained through
the force of public opinion and
that that public opinion would fol-
low the publication made and
would support the decisions of the
board composed of men each of
whom Xould have special knowl-
edge of the difficulties within and
the necessity of the group that he
was chosen to represent"
This is the first time that a fed
eral judge has made clear the
scope of the United States Rail-
road Board and though he points
out that no penalty was provided
by congress for a violation of the
transportation act, Judge Page
leaves the impression that neither
employees nor employers are safe
in ignoring the decisions of the
board. He emphasizes significantly
the mandatory language of congress
in the law which says:
Law Is Quoted.
"All decisions of the labor board
shall establish rates of wages and
salaries and standards of working
conditions which in the opinion of
the board are just and reasonable.
This command of congress to es-
tablish rates at one time was ques-
toned when the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission was first estab-
lished, but decision after decision
showed that the command of con-
gress had TO be obeyed and that it
was constitutional for congress to
make public utilities obey the COM
mission. Government lawyers here
believe the labor board is going
through the same evolution and that
the attacks against it in the courts
will only tend to strengthen the
which congress has created
to prevent railroad strikes.

Curb Market

New York, May 6.-There was a
sharp falling off in the dealings on
the Curb Exchange today. Price
changes were irregular Profess
sional floor traders were evening
their accounts for over Sunday, and
as these operators had been long
due the past week, they naturally
sold unbalanced. Commission
house business was smaller than
recently.
An outstanding feature was Va
CUM Oil. which reached a new
record. Mother Lode Coalition was
also in demand. the buying being
credited to one of the largest down.
town banking institutions. 1t. too
made a new top. Dubilier Radio
and Radio common displayed firm
ness and there was moderate in
quiry for some of the motor shares.
The Wyoming Oils were again sup
ported, with Mountain Producers
the leader.
These were the exceptions to the
general tendency. as most of the
other stocks traded in eased after
the early dealings. There was
considerable profit taking in many
of the oil stocks which were the
features during the past week
sympathy with Mexican Petroleum

Bonds were in fair demand. In

southern Pacific today. A leading
nous in its letter pointed out that
the same people were interested in
Southern Pacific who had made a
lot of money in Stadard Oil of Cali

New Haven was strong for a
time. and Pere Marquette made a
new high in response to the anal

rate of s per cent on thu common
stock after the full per cent on
both casses OF preferred. But these
were exceptions. One explanation
for the sluggishness is most OF the
railway list is that there is a de-
sire to await the April traffic re-
ports before taking any fresh spec
ulative position. Another and more
technical reason is that brokerage
houses have been so insistent in
their recommendation ito buy the

with them. Consequently they are
bull hard.
