opportunity to kill them by tens of
thousands.
My idea is that by the use of some
process of fumigation or the employ
ment of an inexpensive bu. fatal gas
a great deal of good could be obtained
and there should be compulsion un-
der the law for killing off the insects
in such or a similar manner. Such
methods will materially reduce the
number of weevil and will help along
the enemy.
South Carolina. Georgis' and other
states in the Southeast have made ap-
preparations for the purpose of fight
ing the weevil. Reliance on The fed
eral government for appropriations
and for federal activities should not
be counted on. IL is absurd TO think
that young men have special fitness
because they happen TO be employed
by the United States Depal tment of
Agriculture and draw a salary for
service when they do not live on farms
and have no special training or fit
ness for dealing with such subjects.
l would rather prefer to- risk the eff
forts OF teachers in research work en-
ploJed by our own colleges and schools
and intelligent farmers.
Might Lose Trade.
There arc some careless reasoncrs
who believe that if there is a general
visitation of boil weevi. and the
amount of cotton reduced in any given
year it will result in higher prices
for the crop. and no doubt it is the
case. But if We are free from boil
weevil damage altogether, the farmer
is certainly in a position to regulate
the acreage he wishes to plant.
at must not be forgotten that fail
ures Of production in our country will
ultimately drive the cultivation of cot
ton TO Africa and Asia and may per-
manently transfer our great staple
crop to these continents. Nothing
would please Great Britain and France
more, for both countries have large
areas known TO be suitable for the
production of cotton. In central AZ
rica there is steady but slow growth
in the production of cotton and il we
should cease to produce the staple in
America 10 meet the deman, of the
spinners in Europe. those spinners will
not do without what they require.
another disaster will fall on us
because our lands will be sure to de-
cline in value as competition increases
in other sections of the world. l do
not pretend TO say that my sugges-
ton is an absolute remedy but l be-
lieve that it will assist in destroying
thousands and thousands of weevil
who would otherwise follow ter daily
occupation of increasing by the mil

conference room for rural women in
the Chamber OF Commerce building,
extending the work Of the boys agri-
cultural and livestock clubs and spon-

Than Federal Experts.

Edward NJ. Golson. San Antonio
cotton dealer, has suggestion TO add
Ito the many that have been made as
Apossible solutions to rid the cotton
districts of the boil weevil.
Mr.. Golson's idea is contained in
the following statement:
"a great scientist, III. Maxim, at
"a convention recently held in At
lanta made an address on the boil
|weevil in which he gave startling fig
blres about. the increase of these in
fkects. According 10 Mr.. Maxim, null
millions are produced every

Gtion, created by this pest. Every
body is alarmed ard there is certainly
much peril for the future production

eter is threatening.

NEED MORE ROOM
Dry Forces Look With Longing Eyes
Toward Federal Building.

Renewed efforts have been made
by Grouphead Harry Hamilton TO
find space in the federal building for
the prohibition enforcement officers
now located in the Kampmann build
ing. Since there is no appropriation
for rent provided under the prohibit
ton enforcement budget, Mr.. Hamil-
ton is compelled 10 pay the office
rent from his personal funds. In the
majority of other places, office space
In government or county buildings is
provided. Mr.. Hamilton has learned.
Il have conferred with the assistant
custodian Of the federal building" Mr..
Hamilton said. land he has assured
me that he will attempt TO find room
for the prohibition enforcement Of
fices. Since the building is already
overcrowded. l have little hope that
his efforts will be successful"
For some time. it is reported. the
eyes of the prohibition agents have
been turned to two rooms occupied by
the immigration service in the federal
building. immigration work of n To-
cal nature is conducted from the Of
fices in the federal building while
the district work is conducted from
the headquarters offices in the Hicks
building.
Dan S. .Kuykendall. inspector in
charge of the San Antonio district
headquarters. asserted that every
available inch of room was needed by
the immigration service. Since the
immigration offices in the federal
building are not large enough TO
house both the local and district work.
the immigration service was compelled
to seek additional space in a private
ly-owned office building. Mr.. Kuy-
Kendall said. Even then. he continued.
the immigration service rented the
minimum necessary amount OF space.

Rotary international
By STEWART c., MCFARLAND,
in The Rotarian.

Rotary International means Rotary the world
around.
1t is an ideal and principle adaptable and ap-
picable to all peoples and races and tongues.
1t is principle of action, an emotion of the
heart an idea or ideal of the intellect that will
eventually cement humanity into common BROTH
erhood.
1t is golden thread of faith that is helping
to knit the travelled cares of a worried world into
a beautiful fabric of understanding.
1t is the silver lining of hope that all nations
will soon behold in the dark clouds that have
long overshadowed the earth.
It is renewal of the prophecy that our
swords shall be turned into plowshares and our
spears into pruning hooks.
1t is the spirit Of the Most High made mani
fest in all our relations.
1t is All organized and confident expression of
the good in humanity that is already confound-
ing the jewellers in the tents of wicked prac-
tees.
1t is the oil of confidence poured over the
troubled waters of all our racial, creedal and
national prejudices.
In essence, it is the leaven that will leaven
many other and equally potent organizations and
inspire them to give hands and feet to the ideals
and principles enuncated by all the great men
of the ages.
Rotary International means the Golden Rule
applied the world around-that whatsoever ye
would that men should do unto you do we even
unto them.
Rotary International is the greatest world
demonstration of the workableness of the Ser
mon on the Mount-that it is possible for men
to lift their heads into the clouds and to the
loftiest gates of ideaism and yet forever keep
their feet on the rock of common sense
Rotary International postulates better world
in which to live and love and work.

Cost of Public Schooling.

Some very tough problems are pre-
sented or suggested in report of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment Of Teaching. Acceptance Of the
conclusions of this report would con-
front the American people with the
alternative of revising their system
of public instruction or finding new
sources of revenue to maintain it on
the line along which it is expanding.
1t is set forth that the cost Of public
schools increased from s140,000,000 in
1890 to $1,000, 100000 in 1920. Enroll
ment in public elementary schools in
creased from 10000 900 to 22,OO0,0oO
during that period, and enrolment in
high schools increased from 200, 900 to
1900, 900. The increase in the number
of grade school pupils was approx
mately in the same proportion as the
country's population, but high school
and college attendance increased many
times faster. 1t may be problem be-
set with difficulty. but there will be no
backward step in education. The in
crease in high school attendance
shows the way the wind is blowing.
The people want this kind Of schooling
and what they want they will have.
The Carnegie Foundation report
makes some adverse criticism of de-
tails in our public school system, but
this criticism has been made before
and has come from many sources.
The report says that the present sys-
tenn of education has reached it's enor-
nous expense not wholly by reason
of it's efficiency, but partly by reason
of it's superficiality. 1t says that many
courses are delusive in that they can
not be taught in an academic way, and
that only by separating fundamental
training from specialized training can
this, superficiality and expense be done
away with.
No doubt that which is wrong in
public instruction will be corrected in
course of time. Sentiment is working
that way. In our new zeal for educa-
ton we have probably run to excess.
and are giving schooling in non-essen-
tial subjects believing that a child Of
school age can be crammed with all
learning and set out in the world fully
equipped to compete with men whose
schooling has been supplemented by
experience. Schoolmen differ as to
what can be successfully taught, and
they differ as to what are essentials.
Perhaps in time the question will be
sifted down and we shall agree. There
can be no thought of reducing essen
tials to the old standard Of readin'
'ritin' and 'rithmetic.

Job Barnard.

Job Barnard, retired justice Of the
District Supreme Court, who died in
this city this morning, was a Wash
ingtonian of fifty years residence,
having come to this city in 1873. He
then took position as assistant clerk
of the court to the bench Of which he
was assigned in 1899. He was thor
oughly identified with this community
In all of it's activities. With a wide
acquaintance, and many Of the warm
est friendships, he had a pronounced
influence for good in Washington. He
was a member of numerous organiza-
tions which worked for the betterment
of the District. AS jurist he dis
played deep learning and, moreover, a
thorough knowledge of the peculiar
conditions which prevail in this juris-
diction, and was one Of the most ef-
ficient members Of the bench in the
history Of that court. Retiring some
years ago on account of advancing
years, he remained in civic activitv
until comparatively short time ago,
when illness checked him. But he re.
tanned his keen interest in affairs, and
his advice was sought by friends and
business associates with appreciation
for the soundness of his judgment and
the .keenness of his view. He was a
valuable citizen and public servant,
and his death is a matter Of deep re-
gret to the community.

Government. Hotels.

The governments plaza hotels and
dormitories will probably stand for
some time and fulfill their useful mis-
sion. The indications are that the gov.
ernment will pay the land rent due
to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, that the whole matter will
be smoothed out and the hundreds Of
women threatened with eviction may
rest easy. A resolution pends in the
Senate, and one is about to be intro.
duced in the House, to pay the rail.
road company a reasonable rental for
the property, and those members Of
Congress having the matter in hand
believe that the resolution will not be
opposed.
It is fortunate that these govern
ment hotels are to remain for q while
longer. The time must come. and 1t
when the buildings will be removed.
They were wartime expedient, and
it was believed that the need for them
would cease with the close of hostili-
ties. The present need for housing
space in Washington is well known.
Every shelter conforming to certain
requirements is needed to take care Of
the people. and to evict government
workers from these buildings at this
time would bring an extraordinary
hardship on them and would indirect
ly bear against other persons by in
creasing the pressure for housing.
These government hotels should be
abandoned and removed as soon as
housing conditions return to normal.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Timothy Smiddy. representative OF
the Irish Free State In America has been
here long enough to satisfy himself that
Irish American sentiment Is overwheim-
ingly "anti-De Valera" He is 3nclined
to think the percentage is close to 90
for the Dublin government and 10
for the insurgent republican cause.
The Roman Catholic priesthood In the
United States, with no notable ex-
ceptfons, is said to be a unit in de-
crying De Valera's efforts to harass
the Free State government in its ef-
OF course. enjoys no Independent re-
lations with the United States gov
ernment. 1t maintains Official head
quarters in Washington, as Canada
long has done. and II Canada's long
standing desire for diplomatic inter-
course with the United States Is real
lied. Erin hopes to be placed on q
similar footing.

can Winston Churchill, who tenn

The House and Electric Voting

A proposition is under consideration
in the House of Representatives. to
establish an electric voting system
which, it is claimed, will save time and
avoid the confusion now attendingSRol
calls. 1t. is estimated that record
vote can be taken by the mechanical
device and fully tabulated within ff-
teen minutes, whereas roll call now
occupies more than twice that time,
and. moreover. is subject to some
question as'te accuracy, owing to the
confusion that prevails in the cham.
ber. s-#
Such system was proposed a num-
ber Of years ago, and a device Of that
nature was tried out, but was not
deemed a. success. Since then. how
ever, the feeling has increased that
the old method of"ealling names with
oral responses encroaches too much
upon the time Of the House, and en-.
deavors to effect a perfection Of the
machine have now reached the point
Of sufficient success to warrant its
adoption. 1t is hoped to secure an ap-
proving vote at this session to permit
the installation Of the: electric: voter
