 A. The Queen of the Market is one of the most satisfactory early sorts, while for late blooming. the late branehlngs sorts such as semples are extra good. Q. I notice a green, horny looking bug on my egg plants that I never saw before. What will kill them? c. S. Dothan.
 A. Mix one pound of dry Bordeaux mixture and one pound of arsenate lead with 50 pounds of hydrated or air slaked lime and dust on plants. It may be necessary to repeat If bugs again make their appearance. This same remedy is destructive to other leaf eating insects.
 e. Do you grow the Chinese lan- tern plant from seed. Miss B., East Lake.
 A Physalis Franchetti or Chinese lantern plant, while perennial, would likely bloom by fall from seed planted now.
 Q. I read sometime ago about a soy bean lima. Can you recommend it?. H., Greensboro. A. The United States department If agriculture recently introduced this from eastern Asia. It closely resembles lima beans in appearance and taste and said to be prolific and q sure cropper. I have no experience with it.

 A. Burgers stringless green pod known also as white seeded Kentucky wonder and other names, can be rec commended highly and they do fairly well in corn.
 O. Is the boutiful bean good va riety to grow for market? Mrs. F.. Sheffield.

ager. Ruth and Mays don't speak. Bob Meusel and his manager are at outs and are not on speaking terms half the time. And, now. Waite Hoyt has been added to the list of Huggins' enemies. Wally Schang and Hoyt had a word battle Sunday. Schang is pretty hefty and stocky. Hoyt didn't go into a tilt with Schang. Instead he waited until the vest pocket edition manager sided with the catcher, and then he went over and slapped the midget Huggins in the face.
 The funny part about 1t is that he got away with it without be- ing punished Huggins. in ex- plaining the thing, said that Waite was a hot-tempered kid and didn't realize what he was doing. The funnier part of it is that the Tanks are winning ball club, in spite of all this dis cord

 Wilson Should Worry
 It is to laugh. The A. A. U. now has the question of Claude Wilson's standing up. The A. A. II. is wee bit behind the times. If the officials had wished to dsqualify the fighting Claudia. they should have taken steps to bring this about before Wilson made his debut as a professional.
 Claude is no longer an amateur. and doesn't care whether he's ruled eligible or ineligible in the fights he participated in as an amateur. He is a pro-de butante for Monday night, when he steps into the ring to mix mitts with Frankie Britt of Cincinnati. There are those among the ex- perts of fistiana. who believe that Claude has better prospects to become a real fistic champion than any man in Dixie.

 This is now profitable pasti-ne l for the gardener, and it's necessary to

 most widely available poison. is very 1 effective. but should always be used in connection with lime to prevent in- | turing the foliage. Dust sprays are
 more effective than liquid. One | pound of paris green to hundred
 pounds of hydrated or air slaked lime dusted on will be found effective. Ar senate of lead or arsenate of lime may

OFFICIALS ARE
 NOT AFFECTEDBY YOUNG CRUSADERS
Action of Harding in Refusing to Receive Delegation Is Cause of Surprise in
 Washington
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Heraid

900 Davidson Building
 Washington, May Special )-f has been demonstrated that the "chil- dren crusaders" will not have oppor- tunity formally to ask the President of the United States to pardon their fathers who are serving sentences for having obstructed, generally by word of mouth. this country in the prosecu- ton of the war against Germany.
 The attitude of the President would be natural in others not so sweetly disposed, it is pointed out. But when he declined even to see the children he surprised those who believed him to be the most human President who has served in many decades. It was known that the President would not be moved to action by the pleas of the children, for he had committed him self against blanket pardons. But Il was supposed that he would speak tc the smallest members of the party and perhaps kiss the little Swear old whose banner explained that she. had never seen her daddy.
 The President washed his hands oi the affair and sent the band to the department of justice. The children we're TtGelNeO Dy the Attorney ten eral. Harry M. Daugherty who deliv- cred speech which apparently pleased his auditors. Those who know the Attorney General, however, said that it was typical of Daugherty If was sympathetic. In the main. but when the Attorney General declared with boldness that might have com mended Itself to the public at large that he would not consider the case of any man who had not demonstrate ed conviction that he had been properly punished and justly pun fshed. he caused surprise.
 Debs Not Repentitent
 The Attorney General was not so deeply concerned with the "repen- tance" of Eugene V. Debs. It is re- called that the leader of the socialists. following his release from Atlanta. boasted that his attitude had under gone no change. and that he would not have accepted a pardon had 1t been offered on any such terms or conditions.
 The administration lets it be known that 1t will proceed to investigate the petition for pardon of any convict serving for having expressed opinion contrary to the best interest of the government during the war. but will not issue blanket pardon. This means that in time all so-called war prisoners will be released.
 Since the pardon of Debs there is no reason why others convicted of iaen- teal offenses should be longer con fined, 1t Is pointed out.

chose the hardest way possible. lie pitched his hitless, runless game against the greatest ag- gregation of clouters in the major leagues-the Detroit Tigers. Ty Cobb has assembled some of the greatest slugging talent in base ball, and in spite of this Bobby sent them back to the dug-ou in one, two three order in every in- ming.
 Chagrined over this bit of humiliation at the hands of an unheard of youngster, the Tigers are now offering an alibi They have suggested that the ball was doctored. It has been reported by some of the athletes victimized by Robby's stuff that he spread crude oil on the surface of the leather. It is to laugh. however, and Ban Johnson will probably get sundry chortles when he reads the evidence and lamps the balls sent him. In the first place the youngster had been pitching for two years in league that doesn't allow the placing of any foreign substance on the ball. or any illegal or trick delivery. In the second place he was a rookie breaking into the big show, and 1t isn't reasonable to suppose that green youngster making a stab at a berth in the big leagues, would have the gall and nerve to resort to deceptions and trickery of that kind.
 The Worl.'s Hardest Job
 Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees, probably has the most difficult job in the uni verse. Miller, who is no bigger than a minute. and far less n- offensive than one, must build harmony and peace out of dis cords and insults. Why. he isn't raving maniac by this time is one of the things that is pug zling science. Huggins and Ruth never speak. Mays and Huggins are also at outs. And Mays and Ruth hate each other worse than they hate the diminutive man.
