THIEVING GANGS IN MOTORS
PREY ON JERSEY SUBURBS,

MULLICA HILL, N. ia Dec. IL.
Motor thieves are extending their.
operations from the big cities to the.
rural districts, authorities believe
after investigating recent robberiea..
City gangs are suspected in most
of the operations. BY using auto
mobiles these gangs can make q
quick run into South Jersey, loot a.
few houses and return In few;
hours with little fear of capture, 80
many OF the small country towns
have no police protection. Opera,
tions indicate that they are only
after money and rarely take any
other loot which might lead to their
being traced.

BUILDING PLAN
FOR DISTRICT
FAVORED
Congress Believed Likely to
Provide for SIS, 100000
Program Here.

The, $5,00O.O00 program for new
Federal buildings in Washington is
almost certain to be enacted by the
present Congress.
Both Senator Fernald, chairman
Of the Senate Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee, and Congress
man Langley, chairman of the SINH
lar House committee, have expressed
their approval of the plan and their
support Of President Coolidge's rec.
concentrations.
FOresees No Opposition.
There will be new public build.
ings provided for Washington at
the present session." said Fer
Maid today. 'I don't think there
will be any opposition to the Presi-
dents program when the facts are
placed properly before Congress.
We have delayed for nearly five
years any appropriation to provide
for the expanding needs of the
Federal Government in the Capital
and the habit Of renting buildings
from private interests consequently
has developed to an enormous ex-
tent"
It is understood that the public
buildings bill to be framed by the
Congressional committees will in
clude the much-needed archives struc-
ture and additional housing for
the Treasury Department especially
the bureau of internal revenue.
An effort will be made to include
the development of Government
land running from Pennsylvania
avenue to the Mall, between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets, In
the Congressional plan.
Temporary Building.
This plot of ground which in.
cludes the space occupied by one
of the temporary internal revenue
buildings will house three or four
structures without difficulty. The
plan of the Fine Arts Commission,
however, calls for monumental
buildings on this land in accordance
with the Macmillan survey rather
than office buildings strictly such
as Congress would be inclined to
favor now.
The Public Buildings Commission
and the Congressional Public Build
ings and Grounds Committees will
hold conference in the near future
to agree upon a construction plan
for early introduction in Congress.

The widespread ravages Of the
cotton boil weevil in Southern COT
ton fields have brought to the
front lot of new theories rs to
the use of new remedies in exterm-
mating the pest, the insecticide
and funicide board of the Depart
ment of Agriculture reported today.
The board has attempted to col
lect all of these, with the idea of
submitting them to analysis and
test" the report stated. This is a
tremendous undertaking, and it
probably will take several years
work before this situation is cleared
up and worthless preparations
driven off the market"
The report calls attention to the
fact that this work cannot be car
ried to completion until Congress
authorizes additional funds.
The campaign inaugurated in
1919 and involving the inspection Of
the domestic supply of calcium
arsenate used for cotton boil weeyil

fiscal year 1923, and it was found
that the composition Of this article
was growing more constant and

qualities" the report states.
Imports Found Dangerous.
However, enough of the offgrade
material continues on the market
to demand our attention.
zone of the outstanding new fea-
lures of our control work during
the past year was the investigation
of large shipments of calcium arse
nate sent in from abroad. Up to
the present year no calcium arse
nate had been imported, but this
year some large shipments came
from Germany and England.
Investigation showed that some
Of the shipments were satisfactory,
while others consisted of a, very
poor grade of calcium arsenate that
was irregular in composition and
contained enough water soluble ar
senic to cause the product to be
seriously injurious to cotton.

Unsatisfactory shipments of cal
cium arsenate were, of course, ex-
cluded from the country.
The campaign designed to i'm
prove the quality and labelling of
Bordeaux mixture and Bordeaux

the fiscal year 1923 and the labels
for most OF these preparations
brought in entire conformity with
law. Work was continued on new
brands of these preparations APP
