SOKOLSKI EXPLAINS
BEATING OF RUSCH
Proprietor of Tailor Shop Says He
Had Been Threatened By
Unions Before

2. Sokolski. one of the proprietors
Of the tailor shop which was the OBJ
ject of an attacking party of thugs,
believed to have come from New
York city, where Joseph Rusch was
severely beaten yesterday morning ex-
planned to The Herald that his firm
was not to be defined as a strike
breaking organization. He stated
that it was his belief that a desire for
revenge prompted the beating of
Rusch and Sanders. and that union
sympathizers were responsible for the
act because he runs an open shop es-
Enlistment.
Mr.. Sokolski admitted that the COM
pany was doing work on garments for
New York firms and had been doing
so for some time past. He stated that
he had been threatened a number of
times by union sympathizers because
he ran an open shop. not because
work was being done on garments for
a concern whose employees were out
on strike. He also stated that he
could not run a union shop If he de-
sired as it was impossible to get men
garment workers here and the union
does not admit women, who do the
bulk of his work, to the organization
in this branch.

OLD UNPUBLISHED TEXT
SOUGHT In MAINE CITY
Poem Written BY Longfellow When
He Was But 10 Years Old
Comes to Light

Portland, Me-, Aug. 3. - A brie1
and hitherto unpublished poetic flight
of Longfellow, written when he was
| Is years old, has come to light here
The verse and the history connected
with 1t was revealed by the search OF
Rufus Lamson, an elderly potter. for
nondescript pottery plaque, Ions
since vanished. Conceived while the
youthful Longefellow was watching a
potter working at his wheel. the verse
is believed to have had the same
source Of inspiration which,, in later
years, found its expression In "Keara-
mos"
As related by Mr.. Lamson, one of
the favorite haunts Of Longefellow as
a boy was the small pottery of Ben
jamin Dodge, on Brattle street. Long
fellow, watching q vessel taking shape
under the fingers of the old potter
one day scrawled four lines of verse
on slip of paper:
mo handicraftman's art
Can to our art compare:
We potters make our pots
OF what we potters are
Then he slipped away to join his
companions. BENJAMIN Dodge, alb
sent from his task, returned and
found the paper. And because the
lines grasped his fancy. he wrote them
on a plaque of clay and had it baked.
For years the panel hung over his
wheel. A new firm erected new pot
terry, and the panel was kept for rs
years and then sold. That was 20
years ago. With the passing of the
plaque the tradition faded, and only
lately was it revived when one of the
new proprietors expressed his wish to
recover the little red clay panel.

EUROPEAN WASPS TO
Fight CORN BORER
100000 Tiny Insects Imported
From France Set Loose Here

Boston, Aug. with the release of
100000 tiny wasps termed habro-
bracons, in this vicinity, experts OF the
bureau of entomology, United States
department Of agriculture. hope they
have set in motion an agency that will
result In the destruction of the corn
borer and the saving of millions of
dollars to the farmers. The success of
tie experiment, entoniologists say, will
not be determined until observations
have extended over a period of years.
Imported from France, in which
country and in Italy the habrobracon
has proved a relentless enemy of the
corn borer, four colonies of the insects
were bred at the government labora-
tories III Arlington. Whether the wasp
and more uneven climate of New Eng
land and the United States in general
is question still to. be determined.
The corn borer itself is an imported
species, having come to America in
shipments of European broom corn.
Its ra>ases first attracted serious at
tention in 1917 in Eastern Massachu-
sets. Since that time it has worked
steadily westward Last year the
borer caused damage estimated at ST.
100000 in this state alone. The corn
borer. which in appearance resembles
d caterpillar, not only attacks corn
but infiicts injury upon crops of beets,
celery, beans, rhubarb, potatoes, pep
pers, buckwheat and clover. Alto
gether, investigators have found the
bcrer guilty of damaging I'll varieties
of plants
The habrobracon is said to injure
no crop, combining its attacks to the
oorer, the gypsy and the brown tail
moths. The wasps are very small,
with bodies about the size of the head
of a rin. The female wasp attaches
itself to the corn borer and lays Its
eggs Oh it. These, when they develop,
at first paralyze and later kill the
borer.
The battle between borer and ha-
brobracon began with the release of
colonies of 100000 habrobracons each
in saugus, Cambridge, Maiden and Ar
lington. Further experiments are
being made by government entomol-
ogists with view to finding other
insects which may check the spread |
of the horer. s.,

Warren G. Harding brought to the

without the stress and worry which

Whatever else historians may. say
