To Choke Boil
WeeviI to Death
OBy United Press)

Atlanta, Ga, March 30-Choke
'em to death!
That is the method James Lou
Allen, who halls from the noun
tains of northern Tennessee,
would employ to rid the south
of the Boil Weevil. Here's his
receipt.
Take ordinary wheat flour and
sprinkle it over he cotton fields.
Then let the dews of Heaven
moisten it. The boil Weevil will
be attracted to it, probably think
ing it is a sort OF cotton. He will
eat it, the flour will harden in
his throat, and he will choke to
death.
Allen made a three hundred
and fifty mile trip from Tonnes
see to the recent boil weevil con-
ference here to place his method
before Southern planters.

AMERICAN TRAINS
tHy United Press)

Picking, March 3l.-The travel
ing public that journeys between
Picking and Shanghai will get
used to it after a while, but just
now it is too much de luxe to be
treated lightly. Travel now is by
all steel American built trains.
The cars are finished in mahog
any and there are cut flowers
and cut glass on the dining car
tables. Those same green carpets
cover the floors and about the
train there is the smell Of Anne
rican varnish and not Oriental
lacquer. Six of these trains were
built in America and assembled
in China.

Very Successful

"The meetings held in the State

were very interested in the addresses
OF Alvin Owsley, national commander
of the American Legion" said Coz.
Albert Greenlaw, member Of the
National Executive Committee, Mon
day on his return from the trip on
which he accompanied Commander
Owsley. Col. Greenlaw said that one
reason for the interest in Command
er Owsley was the fact that he did
not give the same address in any
two places on his Maine trip. The
largest audience was at the final
meeting in Waterville Sunday eve
ming.
DR.. Kate Walker Barrett, national
president of the Legion Auxiliary,
attended several Of the meetings and

who are injured while engaged in
the field of industry" continues Com
missioner Spencer in his statement.
The present law is an amended
form of the initial act passed in 1915.
'The principal objections to such
a law have been found to be the pay
ment of large and indeterminate
price for contributory negligence, the
preferment of a premium upon ma
lingering, and the fallibility of human
intelligence in the determination of
the extent Of injuries, which may
frequently, in the honest opinions of
different commissioners, vary in ex-
tent from ten to fifty per centum in
individual cases.
$50 many states have already
adopted the principle of compensa-
ton insurance that its expediency
may be regarded as permanently
recognized in America, but in it's
present stage the only feature that
interests the public is that of eduit-
able administration.
ITO accomplish the objects of COM
pensation with the least possible in
reference with the processes of in
dustry, and hence with the progress
Of the State. is a complicated prob
lem. The ideal solution requires the
cooperation of the legislature in the
enactment of clear and reasonable
provisions for it's direction; of the in
surer in the faithful execution of the
trusteeship involved; Of the employer
in the adoption of adequate safe
