sometimes it's great thing for uu if people oppose us and tell us we can't do thing.
 Had it not been for just such d situation, the story about this beau tiful, dark k-eyed woman might never have been written.
 For she might never have been the day

 Now when you say architect, that means that this young woman must not only he an artist in line and form, but that she must be able to Know her trigonometry so. we'll that she can make mathematical figures Jump through hoops and things. And she does.
 Her name Is Mrs. George c. Smith.
 And most any day, if there's a big Job of work to perform you'll find her hard at it in the office of J. D.. Greene, while everybody else is off having good time.
 Work Is Play
 Part of the reason for this is that tho plans must be completed, and the other part Is that she adores her work and treats 1t as play.
 But to get back to the way her ca reer happened It was during the war, and she was with the T. c. l. people.

 After that I was positively ceter- mined that I would make good--that l would get the training l needed.

CONTROL OF BEAN BEETLE ASSURED
 BY SPECIALISTS
Auburn Station Explains Method After Years Experi- ment Work on Two
 Crops


 Auburn, June 1S.-(SpeciaL)-After one year of experimental work on two crops of beans, the Alabama experi- ment station has worked out control method for bean beetles sufficiently effective to recommend it. Informa- ton to this effect is contained in a circular recently prepared by pr. w. E. Hinds, entomologist for the extan- sion service and experiment sta tion.
 The experimental work was con- ducted near Birmingham in Jefferson county, under the immediate super vision of Dr. F. L. Thomas, who has spent the greater part of two bean growing seasons conducting experi- ment.
 In searching for control 1t was destroy bean beetles without injur- ing the beans or make them unsafe for table use. Poisons have been ap- piled by different methods and no final recommendations can yet be made, but 1t has been found that an insecticide composed of one part tri- calcium arsenate. one part superfine dusting sulphur and four parts hy- drated lime. when properly applied produces very satisfactory results.
 TSs first application should be made whom the first beetles appear, followed by as many applications as are necessary at intervals of 12 to 15 days. An ordinary hand dust gun Is sufficient for applying this powder and care should be exercised to get 1t on the under side of the leaves where the beetles attack.
 Dr. Hinds and pr. Thomas call spe- cial attention to the fact that this mixture does not injure snap beans for table use, if they are properly washed as is always done It is probable that further investigations, work still caused the present recon : mendations to be changed.

end. third. and fourth sprays were
put on after prepared schedules.
The results the first year showed
the benefits Of cooperation. CUES
tionnaires were sent out TO all the
men whose orchards were sprayed.
From these il has been computed that
the average cost Of spraying, allowing
10 per cent depreciation on the ma
chine, was Sls.63 per orchard. the or
chards averaging 80 trees. As the
total value Of fruit was more than
$40 per orchard, IL is easily seen that
the experiment was worth while.
In addition. other spray rings were
formed after the manner Of the first,
and the result in improving the gen
eral appearance Of the orchards gave
the region a reputation for fine trees
and fruit which was q great value
IN increasing market possibilities and
also the value Of the farms.
