CHANGES HIS MIND
Tuxedo Storekeeper Withdraws Re-
 quest for Injunction

Masked men who visited Joe Giangrosso in the night are said to be responsible for his withdrawal of injunction proceedings brought against O. s. Cash, crippled store keeper at Tuxedo station.
 Giangrosso and Cash are rival storekeepers at the station, which is the junction for the Pratt City divi- sion of the Tidewater. In seeking the injunction Giangrosso claimed that the new Cash store cut off in sress and egress to his store. Cash is confined to wheel chair with rheumatism. The petition for in junction. was filed Monday and Gian- grosso asked that 1t be dropped yes- terday. He denies that masked men visited him.

HARDING DOEJ NOT FAVOR PLAN OF CHAIRMAN KAHN.
 By Associated Press

Washington, April 5.-President Harding's opinion on the question of disposing of the governments prop critics at Muscle Shoals, Ala, to pri- vate interests under the proposals new before Congress for decision was sought today by Representative Kahn, or California, chairman of the House military committee. The con ference was held at the White House while the Senate agriculture com mittee in session at the capitol 500 900 for the continuance of con 500, 900 for the continuance of con- struction work on the Wilson dam, beginning July l, and members of that body prepared to iRaugurate hearings Monday on the four pro posals involving leases, purchase, completion and operation of the Shoals projects by private enterprise.
 Chairman Kahn said the President regarded the question of disposal or Muscle Shoals as one for Congress 'e determine rather than the execu- tiyz branch of the government. The reoposal to create a committee com posed of representatives of three ex- sc citiva departments empowered to esf lease or make other arrange aents for frture maintenance of the properties, recently advocated by Mir Kahn failed to recieve the Pres idenCs approval. it was said.
 Oo5action to the commission plan, it vas explained, were based princi- p4liy on the desire for congressional l.ocision which would dispose finally of the Muscle Shoals problems with out reference to the executive au- thorities increasing their already burdensome responsibility in the re- spective departments. It was in de- ference to this Mir. Kahn said that he decided not to propose the com mission plan to Congress for adop- tion.
 Senator Norris of Nebraska, chair man of the Senate agriculture com mittee, reiterated his belief at to- days meeting of that body that the Senate would be unable at the ex- istinR session of Congress to pass LII ,n any of the private proposals on account of pressing legislative bills and to a lesser extent because of the anxiety of members to return home for participation in the political campaigns.
 The appropriation of T,50o,0oo Senator Norris said. was recommend cd by the committee without the in- tention offinfluencins opinion on the various propogals. He did not be- licve. he saidSs that the starting or work on the Wilson dam, by army engineers would in any way affect the offers.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculturs.)
Weeds and insects are garden enc
mics, and the time to kill both is be-
fore they appear!
Careful stirring Of the soil destroys
the little weed seedlings just after the
seeds have sprouted. Likewise, culti-
'vntion keeps the garden In such shape
that insects do not find hiding place,
and are not so liable to injure the gar
den crops. However, insects are al
most sure to attack certain Of the gar
den crops and it will be necessary to
take precautions against them. Cut
worms, potato bugs, flea beetles. and
plant lice are the most troublesome
garden insects. Do not give them a
chance to get started.
The common cutwOrm does Its work
during the night. cutting off the plants
Just below the surface Of the soil
within day or two after they are set
In the garden. One of the best ways to
prevent this injury Is to surround the
stem plant with tube made Of stiff
paper or light cardboard, extending
an inch or so below the ground and
two or three inches above. These col
lars, or cutworm protectors, can be re-
moved after the danger Of injury Is
past-generally not until about 80 days
after the plants are set In the ground.
When Potato Bugs Appear.
The old-fashioned Colorado potato
beetles, or "hard Shells" come out Of
the ground usually when the potatoes
are about four or five inches high.

Paper Published for Prisoners.

The Danish prison authorities, In
connection with the introduction Of
reforms, are considering the idea Of
publishing a newspaper wholly for
prisoners. It Is felt that prisoners
returning to civil life are considerably
handicapped In their lack Of knowl-
edge on current events. The paper
will cover political, home. foreign,
general news. and possibly have illus.
trations. In this connection II Is In
teresting to note that 1t is the inten-
tion of the authorities to give suitable
moving picture exhibitions In prisons in
addition to occasional concert parties
and hand performances, with an idea
Of keeping the inmates In touch with
the outside world. In Pentonviile
prison the governor recently began

der side Of the potato leaves. In a
few days these eggs hatch into soft
shell beetles or slugs as they are some
times called. In the soft shell, or slug
form the potato beetle has an enor-
nous appetite and colony Of them
will soon strip the foliage from hill
Of potatoes.
Hand picking Is perhaps the best
method of getting rid Of the hard
shell beetles. They may be killed by
either crushing them or dropping them
into boiling water. The slugs or soft
shell beetles cannot be gathered to so
good advantage, but they may be pois-
Oned by sprinkling the plants. while
the dew is upon them, with mixture
consisting Of heaplng teaspOonful Of
paris green to q pint Of air-slaked lime
or land plaster. The easiest method
of applying the mixture Is to place 1t
In cheese cloth or thin burlap bag
and dust the plants by shaking the bag
directly-over them. 1t Is not necessary
to apply the poison to all the plants.
but only where the bugs have made
their appearance. The plants should
be inspected every day or two to see
that the bugs are not getting a start.
Flea Beetles Eat Holes.
Flea beetles are small insects that
eat round holes similar to shot holes
In the leaves Of beans. tomatoes. and
number of other garden crops. They
can be poisoned with the mixture Of
paris green and lime referred to for
potato beetles, or they can driven
AWAY by dusting the plants with fine

very dry, powdery, sifted coal ashes.

HISTORY IN HUMAN BODIES
Many Long Dlsussd Muscles Tell ths
Story Of Mankind Through.
out the Ages.

For at least 6O,OO0.OO0 years the
world forces have been making the
animal body. yet today, in the finished
Investigators have found no fewer
than 1O7 organs or parts Of organs
which are more or less useless, says
a London Tit-Bits writer.
Why, for instance. have we hair
on our bodies7 There il not q word
to be said in favor Of 1t, harboring a.
It does dirt and microbes. It has been
artifcially fostered during the course
Of mankind's history and is vestige
the Ice age.
Again. the pieces Of gristle or
cartilage on the sides Of the head
which we call our ears are similar or
gans. They do not catch waves of
sound as many suppose: they are too
fiat to do SO. But II we compare
them with the movable ears Of the
horse we see what they mean.
They were once similar organs. but
now only an individual here and there
can use one Of the seven muscles un-
der the skin from which 1t is obvious
that the ear could once be moved In
every direction.
There are many similar muscles In
the body today which tell US about q
strange past. Some men can twitch
their nostrils. Some men can move
their scalps- They do SO by means
of muscles which In most Of US have
gone completely out Of use.
In the inner corner Of each eye we
have a little pulpy mass. which recalls
to use even remoter ages Of the body'a
past. 1t Is of no use whatever In the
body today. but is a relic Of "third
eyelid." To understand 1t, one has to
watch a parrot or an eagle in a cage
and notice how the bird flashes q
white film occasionally over Its eye
ball. Our eyelids are now better
apparatus for sweeping the dust on
our eyeballs.
In the remote ages there were AMI
mails with third eye In the top Of the
head. We find 1t in the heads Of 9
few reptiles, but the skin has growr
over 1t. In man 1t has become a smal
body about the size Of hazel nut
rising from the middle of the brain
1t Is mysterious organ, and. while
1t is difficult to say it has no func
ton. we Gun clearly trace 1t to the
third eye Of millions Of years ago.
The "vermIform appendix" - thu
source Of appendIcitis-has been re
moved from hundreds Of thousands o
people in modern times, and no harm
has ensued In any single case. and 1
seems to have no use In the body.
One Of the strongest links with th'
past is the vestige Of a tail. Some
times today children are born witt

short-tails. In addition, a writer Ii

declares we have bones, muscles ant
glands In many parts that are now thu
useless relics Of remote past.
