WASHINGTON MAY BE FIRST
TO WIPE OUT TUBERCULOSIS

Washington is expected to be the
first OF the As States to make defi-
mite plans to wipe out all bovine tu-
berculosis within its borders. In 20
of the 29 counties area eradication
work has already been conducted In
cooperation with the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
commissioner of agriculture and the
State veterinarian have planned a
State wide program that will be pre-
sented to the legislature in January.
The governor is understood to be In
favor of the plan, and there is every
reason to believe that sufficient mon
ey will be appropriated so that with
the cooperation of the department on
the present basis all the cattle in
the State can be tested within a rea-
sonable time, probably two years.
The light infection OF the cattle
herds in the State and the fact that
most of the cattle already have been
tested make the outlook particular

RECORD KILL OF PREDATORY
ANIMALS MADE by TEXAN

Texas holds the record for the
highest individual catch of predatory
animals made by one hunter in one
month, according to report receiv-
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture. The hunt;r, who
was working near Eagle Pass. in
Maverick County. caught 104 coy
otes and 10 bobcats in "a days ac-
tual trapping operations. This good
work was a part of the effort of the
Biological Survey to help ranchmen
in the control of dangerous and d.
structive animals throughout thG
State. Previous to September. 1921.
State funds were available for this
purpose; but since that tins only
funds from the Federal appropriation
amounting to $4,000, have been
available to carry on the work.
Even with this small fund, how
ever, much Aas been dona. lndivi-
cual stockmen. or groups Of stock
men in clubs who wish to obtain pro-
lection Of their own interest, have
agreed to pay two thirds of the sal
airy Of the hunters assigned TO their
various territories, and the other
third Is paid from Federal funds. In
this way about 20 hunters can be
retained on the force. This plan has
been readily adopted in spite of a
general shortage of money and a
slump in the ranching business.
Campaigns were started in different
counties, with exc, llent results. In
addition TO trapping. shooting. and
hunting with dogs, a great many pre-
datory animals have been destroyed
by means of poison bats.

DIETITIANS INTERESTED IN
OFFICE OF HOME ECONOMICS

Interest in various phases OF the
home economies and nutrition work
carried on by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture was evidenc-
ed by members of the American Die
tetic Association attending the third
annual meeting of the association
in Washington, ID. c., from October
16 10 IS. Over hundred visited
the department, most of whom are
professionally engaged in preparing
scientifically planned menus in hos
pitfalls, schools and tea rooms, or in
connection with social-welfare or
CARNATIONS.
In the experimental kitchen the
visitors were shown studies now be-
ing carried on in the use of hard and
soft wheat flours for making cakes,
in the use of macCroni made from
rust-resistant variety of North Da-
kota wheat, in measuring the inter
nal temperatures of cooked foods.
and in making pectin extracts from
citrus fruits and apples. DR.. w. A.
Orton. of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry, sent over for exhibit col
action of vegetables from his die
tetic" garden. Some dishes made
from these vegetables ware also
shown because of their special inter-
est to hospital dietitians.
In the calorimeter laboratory the
visitors saw in studying the energy
expended by human beings under
different conditions, also the small
err calorimster, used in studies Of the
changes taking place in fruits and
vegetables. An experiment was in
progress with the small calorimeter
in which the energy elimination and
gaseous exchange of bananas during
ripening were being measured.

A GOOD ENOUGH EXCUSE

A class of school-children had been
struggling with the problem: IF a
cask contains four and half gal
Ions, how many times can glass
holding a pint be filled from it?"
1t proved too much for them, and
as it was near the end of the after
noon the teacher said: We'll, boys,
you can take that sum home as. your
home work tonight, and let me know
the answer tomorrow morning"
Next morning one member of the
class turned up an hour late. He
brought written excuse-a scrib-
bled note on rough piece of paper.
1t read:
Dear Sir-Please excuse Tommy
for being late, and please do not give
him any more of those sums for home
work. My husband spent all the ev-
ening working at it. with two friends
to help him. In consequence, we
were all up late this morning, and my
husband is not fit to go to work to-
day, and has forgotten the answer"

UNCLE SAM-MOvIE MAGNATE-
SCREENS VARIOUS SUBJECTS

Farm movies covering more than
$50 agricultural subjects have been
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and are now
available TO persons complying with
the necessary regulations. These
films cover subjects ranging from silo
construction, cattle dipping, and
fighting forest fires to demonstra-
lions of cottage-cheese making. They
are made by the office Of motion pic
lures in cooperation with other
agencies.
Extensive use of the department
films is being made by county agents
and home demonstration workers in
the field. Last year, according to
reports to the Department of Agri-
culture almost 100000 people saw
one or more of these films. In addi-
ton to their use by the extension
workers OF the department, the pic
lures were much in demand among
State colleges of agriculture, farm
bureaus, chambers OF commerce, wO-
mems clubs and other organizations,
as well as commercial motion picture

OIL NOTES

Oklahoma produces more high
grade crude petroleum than any 9TH
err single state in the Union. The lat
est official figures indicate an out
put of more than 100000 barrels a
day.
The oil industry was founded in
1859 with one producer and a maxi
mum output of 25 barrels a day. At
present there are $4,000 individuals
and companies producing oil and the
average daily output is nearly 1901

Havre, France, Nov. ia short,
stout, sharp-eyed, brown-faced man
of SO was the most noticed person on
the steamship Paris, which sailed
from here this afternoon for New
York.
He was Georges Glenn enceau,
Frances wartime premier, on his
way to carry out a long-cherished
dream-that Of visiting the United
States for the first time since his
youth and doing his utmost to bring
complete understanding and SYM
pathy between that country and
France.
Altho the departure of the Tiger"
was unrecognized officially by either
the French or American govern
ments, he is looked on as one of the
most important figures to ever leave
the shores of France.
"What a wonderful old man he is"
was universal comment of those
gathered at the pier. Besides his
valet, Albert, he is accompanied, as
he Enthusiastically remarked, only
by his hat and cane.

MODERN ENGLISHMEN
ARE SOFT AND LAZY

London, Nov. 11.-Unless Brit
ishers regain their spirit Of adven-
ture the nation is lost.
This is the belief expressed by Sir
Claude De Crespigny.
at would be good thing for the
future of the nation II duelling we're
reintroduced and personal satisfac-
ton for an injury took the place OF
a namby-pamby wordy argument in
the courts" Sir Claude says.
Many men now are in the habit
of declaring that their womenfolk
are becoming less womanly and more
aggressive. II this is so 1t is the
law Of compensation working, for as
woman is getting nearer to man in
his characteristics so is man veering
inevitably to the feminine. Many
men think nothing of letting women
be the breadwinners. Where is our
manlih SIS, our charity, II such a
state of affairs is allowed to exist.
1.-The young men Of 1922 seem to
have forgotten how to lead a man
ly life, or, If they have not forgotten,
they shun II like the plague. Sslfin-
diligence, ease and comfort-these
are the modern aims. The general
inclination is all toward the amassing
of wealth, with the ultimate aim of
"a soft and lazy retirement.
"Your modern young man drinks
numbers of cocktails and other
fancy mixtures. 1t may be argued
that in the good old days men drank
far NOR ethan in the case today. That
is possibly true, but they would get On
their horses and go for good gal
lop over fences to work off any soft
ness. Your cocktail drinker does not
ride a horse; instead he seeks the
most comfortable arm chair in his
club-and sleeps!
There is another charge l have
to make against Jul hON"
He is a scandalmonger. 1t is some
time. alas! since the hint of an in
suit to a lady brought out swords to
force an apology. Today men are
not sufficiently manly to protect their
won enfolk, and If they have a com
plant they do not settle it in man
ly way. They prefer to go to law
the very idea of which is an Insult
TO our national traditions.
1.-The aim and object of modern
education seems to be the carsfui
training Of our youth to enter a
safe profession. Many parents re-
fuse to let their sons enter the serv-
ices because they are risky and adj
yenturous. Adventurous? Why,
adventure and work are the very
breath of life.
UNLESS we regain this lost spirit
of adventure we shall settle down
DULY to become a soft, flabby, mon
ey-making people and justify that
contemptuous descriptions nation
of shopkeepers."

LONE PlRATEER
BLACK SEA Wasp
Russ, Submarine Given To
Renal, Told To Get"
English Ship.

Constantinople, Nov. 11.-With
the hangman waiting for him at
Odessa and six lean and hungry
British destroyers watching for him
TO enter the Bosphorus, Kemal's on
ly submarine is leading a lonely life
playing pirate in the Black Sea.
When the Soviet government gave
the submarine to Renal they wished
the captain good luck" and told him
he would be hanged II he came back
TO port without having sunk British
ship. The British naval intelligence
heard Of this and issued orders that
Kemal's undersea hope was TO be
sunk on sign-and no questions ask
ed-as soon as II crossed an imagin-
airy line drawn across the Black Sea
entrance to the Bosphorus.
Trap Is Laid.
Six destroyers were stationed in
the narrow Bosphorus straits. As
soon as the submarine was sighted
two OF them were to put to sea, get
behind him and shut off his escape.
The other four were TO steam down
the channel. dropping depth charges
at regular intervals.
Warned by wireless of the trap
laid for him II he ever tried to get
at the great battle fleet riding at
anchor in the Sea of Marmora, the
submarine captain stayed well clear
of the straits Five times he was
sighted by the British, but each time
far enough out to be safe from even
the most elastic Interpretation OF the
British destroyers' orders.
Now he is cruising off Trebizond,
stopping merchant ships and doing
a road agent job on the passengers.
The Black Sea shipping lanes from
Batum TO Constantinople and from
6 ,bastopol TO Trebizond are in ter
ror OF this ocean bighwayman, as
the Great North Road used TO fear
Dick Turpin.
Describes Captain.
An Armenian merchant, who was
robbed of 5000 Turkish pounds
when the schooner he was travelling
on was boarded by the submarines
crew off Sinope, on the south coast OF
the Black Sea. said the captain was
a blond, bearded man. who spoke
TO his first mate in French, and was
most polite to the schooner's passen-
gers. According to the Armenian,
the submarine is a very large one;
the crew is Russian, wears Russian
naval uniforms and red fezzes and
looks well fed.
Officially, the British say nothing,
but unofficially the imaginary line
inside OF which the undersea brigand
may be A'spurios versenki' has been
considerably extended. Meantime,
the blond, bearded submarine captain
is getting himself comfortable
stake on which to retire in case he
escapes the hangman and the lean
gray destroyers.

By Zoe Beckiey CHAPTER XVIII

Quickly though she had left Ben Wheelers office, Molly glimpsed the effect her words had upon him-"Some day someone will use force on you and then heaven pity you!'
 She saw him stiffen and the fighting look come in his eyes, but look of dismay too.
 Along with the brute in the primi- tive male is a childlike side. It is the frightened child in such a man that appeals to the protective instinct.
 Molly knew in the last analysis she could both frighten and soothe Ben Wheeler. And that knowledge supple mented the fascination she felt in the wielder of the club.
 In her bewilderment Molly turned to Billy, the understanding. She would go to his office. But Billy, as if in answer to her need, turned the corner at that very moment, his manner hur- ried, >his face grave.
