A study Of chemical, physical and

the market was undertaken by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture In order to gain better under
standing Of them, to be able, II pos
sible, to improve them, and to produce
new arsenicals for insecticidal pur-
poses. The results Of this investiga-
tion are set forth In a new bulletin
just issued by the United States De.
partment Of Agriculture as Depart
ment Bulletin 1147.
Paris green and lead arsenate, which
have been standardized and found re-
liable for many years, have consti-
tuted the principal insecticides used
against external chewing insects. How
ever. during the past few years, the
use Of calcium arsenate has steadily
Increased, owing In part to the disc0v.
cry that II Is effective In combating
the boil weevil. The manufacture of
calcium arsenate although well beyond
the experimental stage In most facto-

400 Boys to Encircle the Globe ::
In an Oliver Optic Schoolship

Many of the older generation will re-
call with pleasure their reading the
adventures of Young America Abroad"
a series Of books by Oliver Optic. The
story was regarded as a dream, but a
pleasant fiction. 1t detailed the voyage
of Scholarships filed with boys to the
countries of Europe.
But this dream of the last century is
to be realized. Several wealthy men of
Atlanta, Ca, have formed an organiza-
ton that will maintain scholarships and
take 400 students to the great places of
the old world. Asa G. Gambler, jr., has
bought from the government for $780,
900 the former transport Logan, which
will make the $4,000 mile voyage 'as a
classroom on water" Zebulon Judd of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute will
be the dean of the floating school and
the government will detail naval off,
Ger to navigate the vessel.
The cruise is due to start from New
York city September Is, and to return
June Z, 1924. Besides a large faculty
the ship will carry surgeons, dentists
and nurses. Already 200 applications
for reservations, more than can be ac-
|commodated, have been made. Where
ever among parents and educators the
plan has been mentioned it has been
greeted with enthusiastic approval
Col. E. T. Winston, who will be the
general manager of the cruise, is a
West Point graduate, has had serv-
ice in the Philippines and has been
professor of military science and tao
tics in several military institutions.
He has been close student of boys.
For years he has maintained that
visual education" is the greatest
form of education. He believes that
boys would gain infinitely more from
travel than from textbooks
A number of southern capitalists
became interested in the idea, a cor
poration was formed and 100000 in
capital stock has been paid in. The
promoters plan to buy two more

space. An athletic director will have
charge of sports. A school band and
orchestra will be formed by the boys.
Their religious life will be supervised
by a member of the faculty.
Prior to the cruise chartered train

The Case of the Homeless Armenian
BY ANDREW nj. BRODIE,
National Representative, Near East Relief.

The Turkish printing press. Turkish
grammar and the Turkish theater.
owe their origin to the initiative Of
the Armenian. In the great foreign
business houses of Turkey. book
keepers, clerks and confidential en-
ployes are native Christians.
In 1914 there were 10000 Armenian
students in Russian colleges and
universities. and for many years pre-
ceding the world war Armenians pre-
dominated in the enrolment in Amer
lean schools and colleges in Anatolia.
Their eagerness to found educational
institutions among their own people
and finance the game is evidence of
these facts. Modern education could
easily have become established and
self-supporting among the Armenians
II 1t had been given a chance.
Allies In Great War.
Fifth. The Armenians were one Of
our allies in the late war, and fought
most valianuy. Clemenceau said: ::
The spirit OF self-abnegation of the
Armenians, their loyalty to the allies,
their contribution to the Foreign
Legion to the Caucasus front, and to
the Oriental Legion, have strength
ened the ties that connected them
with France. 1 am happy to confirm
to you that the government of the
republic, like that of Great Britain,
has not ceased to place the Armenians
nation among the people whose fate
the allies intend to settle according
to the supreme laws of humanity and
justice"
Lord Robert Cecil said: After the
Russian armies broke down last year,
the Armenians took over the Cau
casus front, fought the Turks for
Ave months. and thus rendered very
important service to the British army
in Mesopotamia. They also captured
Baku and the Turco-Tartars, and

day when scholarships filled with STU

from Italy, France, England. China

elaboration of the idea will be a pow-

good will among the nations. In
speaking of this phase he remarked ed:
Our plan has been discussed with
high officials of number of foreign
tcouneries, and they regard 1t as the
most forward-looking movement fns

In promoting the visual education
