r L is the flapper who is keeping
the drug store and the chemical
preparation industry busy, ac-
cording to the latest official sta
tistics Of the census bureau, while the
American people are turning away
from the time-honored patent medi-
cines and druggists preparations.
The census bureau has just com
pleted the compilation Of its figures on
the census of manufacturers in 1921.
1t has three general classifications COW
ering the basic business of drug stores :
Druggists preparations, patent medi-
cines and perfumery and cosmetics. OF
the three, the last classification, per-
fumery and cosmetics, called the
weapons of the fapper-is the only
one which shows an increase.
The value of the perfumery and cos
metics produced in 1921 amounted to
S72,500,000 according to the official fig
ures, compared with $596O0,OO0 in
1919: the last census period for manu-
featuring statistics. This Is an in
crease of % per cent. In 1914 per-
fumery and cosmetics output was only
$16,900,0O0 Thus, from 1914 to 1921
the percentage increase in this decora-
tive business reached the astounding
figure of 800.

abuse of the treaty by building practi

ations.
"Snch sharp practice, II was the in
tention Of the treaty TO forbid, buI
each nation is free to modernize its
own ships as 1t thinks best without
dlsputing the methods preferred by
any other navy, always keeping inside
the treaty limitations.
"The change In angle Of elevation is
what the United States navy needs to
keep our ships equal to those of Great
Britain. which may choose at pleasure
means Of modernization more suited to
Its needs.
Neither the treaty nor the spirit of
the treaty expects to exclude comperi-
tlon. A navy equal to Great Britain
includes competition as its basis. The
treaty limits competition to such as
may take place within the terms of the
treaty and to this extent only.
"If the country wants no navy, or a
navy that is inadequate, 1t may read
lily have such. But it should go about
1t, knowing what It Is getting and not
thinking 1t is getting navy second
to none.
Putting the matter In another form,
IT is unbelievable that our delegates
meant to agree that Great Britain by
treaty was to preserve for some of her
ships an ability to fire at ranges which
most of our ships cannot attain with
out alterations of some extent"

BULLETIN DISCUSSES
watermelon DISEASE
Farmers Have Been Slow to
Adopt Control Measures.
Convenient Descriptive Key Given to
Different Ailments Of Plant En-
abling Growers to Determine
Cause of Trouble.

(Prepsred BY the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
1t Is not surprising that farmers
who produce watermelons for the
market have been slow TO adopt dis
ease-control measures when frequent
ly buyers pay just as high a price to
growers of diseased melons as to
those who produce healthy ones, says
the United States Department of Agri-
culture in Farmers Bulletin 1877,
Diseases Of .Watermelons, just off the
press. However, there is a. this time
a movement toward cooperation be-
tween railroads, distributors and grow
ers that promises great improvement
In this respect
The bulletin discusses and gives
control measures for such diseases as
wilt, root-knot, gummy stem blight,
ground-rot anthracnose,. stem-end
convenient descriptive key to all
these diseases, by means Of which
a grower may Identify a disease in
his field.
Briefly, the control measures for
few of the principal diseases are as
follows:
wilt is avoided by planting on land
not previously used for watermelons,
with precautions against the use of
wilt infested stable manure and the
spread of the disease by drainage
water and live stock.
Root-knot can be prevented by the
use of land free from infestation, or
by rotating infested fields with root
knot immune crops.
Anthracnose is controlled by thor
ough spraying with bordeaux mixture,
during the month preceding the ma
turity Of the crop.
For stem-end rot the most impor-
tant measure is the disinfection of
the cut stems with a biuestone paste
as the melons are loaded into cars.
Infection by the organisms that
cause anthracnose, gummy stem
blight, and ground-rot may be reduced
by seed disinfection, provided the
crop is planted on soil that is free
from these diseases and in case barn.
yard manure containing the organisms
Is not used.
Copies Of the bulletin may be had
without cost by addressing the De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington.

WHEN AN ENGINE 0VERHEATS
Don't Blame Cooling System as Mix
ture Furnished by Carburetor
May Be Cause.

Don't always blame the cooling sys-
TEN when the engine overheats. The
mixture supplied by the carburetor
may be causing the trouble, perhaps
being too rich. Possibly the spark is
not advanced far enough; maybe
the oillng system is clogged or for
some reason is not properly lubricat-
ing the mechanism Of the power plant.
II might even be possible that the fan
belt is slipping, thus preventing the
fan from doing its full duty. Then
there are the brakes. They may be
dragging because the bands are too
tight, condition which can be dis
covered only by jacking up the rear
wheels and noting whether or not
they turn freely.

DON'T WASH CAR
TOO FREQUENTLY
Expert on Automobile Finishes
Explains Why There Are So
Many Shabby Machines.

Here is the opinion Of an expert
on automobile body finishes:
'The idea that car must be
washed every time dust has accumu-
lated on 1t is a mistake.
"Every time car is washed the
varnish Is raised slightly and the
enamel is dulled. 1t would seem nee
essary on account of heavy road mud
to wash car, but 1t isn't.
Mud Gets on Rear.
Mud generally gets on the rear
half of the body and the running
gear. Washing the running gear
will not materially affect the general
appearance Of a car If il does lose Its
luster. 1t is the body Of car that
catches the eye. Sprayed mud on
car can easily be removed by the use
of soft cloth drawn lightly back and
forth over the surface until it crum-.
bles away. 1t Is not necessary to
use pressure. Light fluffing accom-
plishes the trick.
ANY white dust left on the finish
after this has been done will act as
fine polishing powder when good
polish is used.
ITO keep a finish in the best pos
sible condition, 1t is necessary to use
cleaner once in 90 days to smooth,
clean and polish the surface. Clean
ers always contain securing powders,
but a preparation Of this nature
should not be used as regular treat
ment, as once the dirt and grayness
have been removed from finish
cleaner will remove some of the good
finish In each application. Therefore,
as general wash and polish in one
application. preparation very light
In cleaning element, with preserva-
tive properties, should be used. II
this treatment Is followed, the finish
on an automobile will be deep in
shine and will not require refinishing
for months and sometimes years.
Keep Enamel Bright.
THE enamel on a car can be kept
In bright condition indefinitely, while
1t is only natural for varnish to keep
bright as long as there is life in it.
Water Is not always free from al
kali Alkali will eat up varnish.
Soap cannot be made without the use
Of alkali, and no matter how much
oil and tallow are used, the alkali
stays alive.
Drawing the chamois skin over an
enamel surface dulls II a little In
every movement and in the course OF
three months Of washing treatment,
the enamel surfaces on car turn
gray. This never happens II a good
reliable polish is used instead"

"HB VIII Hays of the map, the
United States geographic
board might jokingly be called.
Arguments about names Of

1t is:

authorities, work of ele-
waiting the guns Of the battleships will
start soon. The department takes the
ground that nothing In the spirit or
letter of the treaty forblds elevating
the guns and that II Is imperative that
this be done II the treaty status OF
equality between the United States and
Great Britain is to be established. The
nayy's attitude I'm the matter Is thus
explained by Rear Admiral w. l.. Rod
gers, head Of the general board OF the
navy:
american naval officers who were
most closely in touch with the work of
the Washington conference of 1921
% are one in their belief that nothing
in the naval treaty prevents increasing
the elevation of the guns as provided
by the congressional appropriation of
last session.
'The United States navy is to be
second to none 1t can only hold this
place by modernizing it's ships. Other
nations are doing the same thing, but
not all take the same steps to reach
the objective. Modernization OF ships
is as old as navies. The United States
navy, like the British navy and the
French navy, has always followed the
practice.

CORN MOST IMPORTANT CROP
Quantity Of Yield is Greatly infiu-

Used by Farmer.

Corn is the most important crop in
the United States, both in acreage and
In value. The quantity Of yield Is
greatly Influenced by the quality OF
the seed planted, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture. A
practical way to decrease the cost OF
harvesting the crop II 1t Is to be fed
to hogs is to let the hogs do the har-
vesting or "hogging down. by turn
ing them into the fields in the fall.

HIGH PROTEIN FEED COSTLY
Amount Of Gluten and Meal Pur
chased May Be Reduced by Grow
inp Alfalfa and Glover.

Protein in the form Of high pro-
tein feeds is extremely expensive.
The amount of gluten feed, cotton
seed meal, and linseed oil meal ordi-
narily purchased can be reduced BY
the production or roughage rich IN
protein, such as alfalfa and clover.
Heavy grain feeding Is also expensive,
and the quantity of grain fed can be
lowered by growing roughages Of high
feeding value.
