FIERCE ANIMAL ENEMIES.

People in the early part of the
Stone Age knew how to get hre
from forests that had heen struck
by lightning. They knew how W, 10
make tools by chipping stones. Fheys
had learned to wear the skins oil
animals for clothes.
Those were great victories over
nature, but they did not make peo-
nile feel really safe. Clubs, pointed
sticks, and sings were good weap--
ons against small animals, but DID
not help much against larger beasts
Among the fierce animal enemies
of men in Europe and elsewhere
was the saber-tooth tiger. You
see it pictured.
We get an idea of how this tiger
looked from bones it has left. Not
ice the long, Sharp teeth. Those
teeth are as keen as the blade OF a
saber. That is where the name "sa-
ber-tooth" comes from
During thousands of years, men
in Europe were bothered by this
tiger. If it sprang at them, they
were almost certainly lost.
Happily, saber-tooth tigers did not
like cold weather. When the elm
ate of Europe began to grow cool,
err and cooler, some of them died
off. Others made their way to Al
RIGA by the strips of land which
then Joined Europe to Africa.
The exit of the tigers from Eu-
rope may have been unpleasant to
the people in Africa, but it was
good for the people of Europe.
However, troubles were far from
being over. Many other fierce
beasts roamed the lands now called
England, France, Germany, Russia,
Spain. Austria and Italy.

TWO SIDES OF THE "JAZZ"
RECORD DESCRIBED
Daily Letter BY Frederic j. Hasl<in

NEW YORK CITY, March ga
bitter controversy over jazz has
burst forth in New York as the re-
suit Of a recent play by J. Hartley
Manners, called THE National An
them" which treats Of the baleful
effects OF syncopation. Jazz, accord
ing to those who champion Mr..
Manners view, is a national curse
which is wickedly leading whole
some Americans astray, while its de-
tenders insist that it is nothing more
than a pleasant, if banal, form of
amusement and a healthful, stimu-
lating exercise.
Although this sudden assault up
on our one conspicuous contribution
to music may appear a trife late
now that jazz in it's widest state
| has passed on to Europe and has
been replaced by a more refined
| phase over here, the reform element
is making the most of it. A bill
! attempting to regulate modern dane
ing and dance music has recently
| been introduced into the New York
legislature, and will doubtless be
| vigorously pushed through the law
making machinery in the near flu
ture. Meantime, New Workers of
prominence, including many in the
theatre and in the pulpit, are elo-
quently voicing their views on the
subject.
my objection to jazz" says Miss
Laurette Taylor, whose talent and
charming personality are making
| her husbands play. 1.-THE Nationa!
Anthem" a great success, lis that
one can't sit still when it is played.
You just must get up and wear
yourself out dancing. When you be-
come accustomed to the pronounced
rhythm you are unable to get that
beautiful relaxation which comes
from the appreciation of fine music.
| This is really doing q terrible injury
to young people"
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell, we'll known
author. holds a somewhat similar
view.
Jazz is to me a very Irritating
| thing" she declares. ut assaults
| the nerves and dulls the brain. I
do not see how it can fail to have a
demoralizing effect if one subjects
ones self to it constantly. Drink is
it's natural accompaniment. l have
| been across the continent five times,
and everywhere on the streets and
in the hotels 1 heard it. One could
dance a great deal to harmonious
| music, l should think, n not have
| this terrible excitement. But
| jazz is not music"

On the other hand, Miss Margaret
Hawkesworth, dance organizer. as

noble purpose in diverting people
and thus keeping them out of trou-

GUNIMOSIS TREATMENT
Experiment Station Tells How to Dea.
With this Disease

Gummosis is disease of the bark
and the injuries appear chiefly on the
trunks and larger branches of the
bearing trees. Attacks of this dis
ease are often serious on all COM
mercial varieties of citrus trees.
1t is easily recognized by the scaly,
liberated areas formed in the bark
with which are associated more or
less gum flow. The progress of the
disease is up and down the affected
limb or branch with a continued re-
currence and apparent healing of the
disease within the affected area.
The treatment for gummosis as
recommended by the Florida Expert
ment Station, consists in removing all
dead and diseased bark down to the
healthy wood, and applying some an
tiseptiC such as carbolineum, pine tar
or white lead to prevent reinfesta-
ton of the exposed tissue.
In groves where the disease is
troublesome the trunks of the trees
should be painted one or two times g
year with a concentrated solution Of
lime-sulphur, consisting of l par
lime-sulphur to 10 to l 5 parts O.
water. Badly infested trees should
be cut down and destroyed or the in
tested parts removed, where possible
to do so. In case their production il
enough to warrant keeping them the
diseased areas should be covered with
a lime-sulphur wash or bordeaul
paste. to prevent any possible spread
to unaffected trees.

How may our Florida soils receive
these things?
The humus may be supplied with

siderable amounts of nitrogen. The
nitrogen may be supplied at the same
time supplying considerable humus.
But there is a way by which both
may be supplied at the same time.
How?
Grow legumes and pillow them un-

been used as feed by livestock.
