Red Spiders Injure Garden and Field
Products.
Various kinds of red spiders
or mites cause injury to the foil
age of many garden. fields and
fruit crops, ornamental herbace-
Gus plants. vines. shrubs and
trees. The foliage of beans, cot
ton, clover. strawberry, violet,
sweet peas. privet and elm is
often injured by red spiders in
Louisiana.
Red spiders or mites are close
~ related to the cattle tick than
to the true spiders. They are
all of minute size. Those that
feed on the foliage are usually
red in color while others are
nearly colorless. They injure
the plants by sucking the plant
juices and leaves injured by them
often become SO thickly dotted
with the, light spots resulting
from their feeding that the whole
leaf becomes of a white or yell
lowish color. Often there is pres

Clocks Run Faster at Night.

Berkeley, Calif.-Here's the scien-

in daytime. w. w. Campbell, director
of Lick observatory of the University
of California, in his annual report to
the president of the university, an
nounced that II. ii. Tucker. an obSer-
vatory astronomer, has made this
startling discovery regarding time
pieces. 1.-The ultimate cause Of the
phenomenon is obscure the report
states, but an exhaustive program of
observation so far has borne out the
hypothetical conclusion that clocks
run faster at night than in daytime"
The discovery is of vast importance
to astronomers who depend upon clock

MERCHANT SHIPS
TO Be D|SARMED
FIVE POWER NAVAL TREATY
NEARS FINAL FORM IN
CONFERENCE.
FINAL ACTION NEAR
ARMED MERCHANT SHIPS MAY
BE cLAssED AMONG
WAR FLEETS.
Western Newspaper Union News ser,icsJ

Westinghouse the arms confer
ence prepares to begin discussion of
the final draft of the five-power naval
treaty some delegates are studying the
question of arming merchant vessels
as it may relate to the agreement.
In no quarter is there apparent dis
position to raise an issue which might
endanger the treaty at this point in
the negotiations, but among foreign
delegations it Is predicted privately
that the armed ship problem will be
one of the most difficult of the collat-
eral questions to arise when the final
draft is gone over.
Italians, Japanese and French all
are said to feel that if merchantmen
might be not only to vitiate the pro-
ject to limit individual auxiliary war
ships to 10000 tons each, but it might
also result in n great disadvantage to
the nations which have small merchant
fleets.
Beyond saying that the status of
merchant ship is to be the status well
understood in international law, the
American and British delegates are
not willing to discuss the subject. 1t is
the view in some quarters, however,
that the British may bring the point
up for discussion.
The subcommittee draft of the treaty
is virtually completed after the ses-
sion of the naval experts. A plenary
session to make the treaty public
probably will follow this week, and
then the delegates will turn their full
attention to unsettled Far East ques-
tions.
Meantime the Shantung controversy
remains in deadlock, but hope of an
agreement this week was expressed in
American quarters. The mediation of
Secretary Hughes and Arthur j. Bal
four is looked on by the Americans
and British as almost certain to bring
the two groups together, although this
optimism is not shared by all Chinese
and Japanese delegates.
The position of the italian was said
to be that the status of a merchant
ship would be effectually changed un-
der the limitation agreement, and that
II no change were provided for, the
nations having the greatest merchant
tonnage would become in the nature
of things disproportionately powerful.
The arming with twelve-inch or four
teen-inch guns of a 54,0OO-tOn mer-
chant ship like the Leviathan, it is
pointed out, would have tendency to
undermine the 1O.0OO-ton, eight-inch
auxiliary clause unless armed mer-
chantmen are to be considered as war
ships.
The Japanese also are described as
believing that the status of merchant
ships must be considered in connec-
ton with the general naval question.
Although the French give evidence
of holding similar views, and also Of
being uncertain whether merchantmen
could arm under the new regulation
prohibiting submarine attacks on COM
merce, they say they do not intend to
raise the point at this stage of the ne
gOtiatiOns.

at heart.
"But the old Jaguar isn't like that.
He looks like dangerous creature
and n dangerous creature he Is.
81 hate men and they had better
stay out of my way If they don't want
to be hurt.
But l am handsome to look at If
one can look at me and still live!
THAT can be done of course If I
am In zoo, but I don't happen to
be in zoo though some of my family
are. There they are kept safely from
the people who can look at them.
There the jaguar can't tell what
he thinks of people-and what he
thinks of people Is that he doesn't
see any reason why he should be nice
to them.
"If any one should come to me and
say, Jaguar, will you improve your
ways and be kindly and be good! l
would say in answer, I'll crush you
with my great jaws!
"That would be smart answer all
right. And I'd live up to my answer.
"Of course people are pretty safe
from me as never go where they are.
If they come to the jungle or care

That is-lt is all right for me, but
not for them. 1 don't care whether
they do or not, really.
