Bedbug Appeal
Met by Public
InLibera[ Wav

For at least another year the
public will not be called upon to
be patriotic and give the govern
ment some bedbugs. The needs of
the insecticide laboratory at Wen
ma, Va, which was threatened with
insolvency because OF the lack of
cimex lectularius, have been more
than met by a generous population
which at first was skeptical over
the appeal broadcast by DR.. w. s.
Abbott of the Department of Agri-
culture. in charge of the bedbug
plant.
A few weeks ago the scientist
offered one cent apiece for 1900
bedroom residents, stating that the
various preparations submitted to
the Department as sure killers"
for the pests, had to be put to a
thorough test before offered to
the public. Days passed. and then
the monotony Of waiting was
broken by the arrival of Felix of
Philadelphia, man-eater. His re-
sponse. although involuntarily.
came from near and far. They

velopes, tin cans and. at great loss
of life, in tightly corked bottles.

sects not only contained offers to
supply the bugs, lat the names of
hotels, hospitals and jails in vari-
Gus cities which, in the opinion of
the writer's should be able to sup
ply them In large numbers. Others
offered chemical and mechanical
devices for ridding premises Of the
pests. Several of the letters were
in facetious vein. but most of

Rudeness'

My cousins son, whose name is

just had fired him from the bank,
accused of being rude. MY nerves.
he said, "were all on edge, from
working day and night; and up
there stepped old Wilhelm Wedge,
most long-winded wfESt. He
blocked the window, telh!-E yarns
that failed to make hit, and l, with
sundry hecks and darns, requested
him to fit. He told the president,
methinks, who fired me out with
zest; | am the victim of jinx that
never takes a rest" You are the
victim of your tongue" l cried, you
fippant knave. and you should
strive, while you are young. to make
that tongue behave. No youth
should talk about his nerves or
frame a cheap excuse, when he has
shown some boorish curyes and
thereby cooked his goosG Your
rudeness makes you seem a Ounce,
you'll never cut much ice; the viii
lage grocer fired you once, the baker
fired you twice. Your busy tongue
you'll have to school and make it

us. ARMY TOTALS
BADLY 0vERSTATED
Army Officials Here Say Re.
port in Commons Almost
Triples Actual Force.

Figures on the relative military
strength of various powers, said In
press dispatches from London to have
been given to the house of commons
Wednesday by Lieut. Col. Guinness,
undersecretary for war. and on
which he acquiesced in a statement
that the United States was the only
important power which had actually
increased its armed forces since 1913,
met with fiat disagreement yesterday
by Army officials here.
The Army figures for Great Britain
were given as 106,514 in 1913 and
S0,S19 in 1922; France, 666,743 and
45,S59, and the United States, $500
and $4,000. War Department in
formation, based on the budget re-
ports of France and Great Britain,
shows that there is no basis for COM
pariSon in these figures so far as the
United States is concerned.
The British army strength given, II
is shown, could apply only to the
forces in England itself. The figure
excludes 1900 British, not native
troops. in India at this time, the
British flag, provided for in the 1922
budget, being 606, 700. Similarly the
French 1922 figure quoted is the
budget provision for the interior OF
France alone, budget estimates pro-
viding' for a total force of 769,63O
men.
The 1922 figure for the American
Army quoted, however, takes in ev-
cry soldier, regular or reserve, cadet
or Philippine Scout paid for under
the appropriations that year and also
includes 400 men the Army does not
know it had any authority to main
tain. If the British undersecretary
had sought a comparable figure for
1922 to those he gave for France and
Great Britain, it was pointed out, he
would have had to give the strength
Of the American Regular Army at
home, exclusive of the West Point
cadets and any guardsmen or reserv-
lists on duty. That figure would have
been less than $4,000 men instead of
the $1,000 he did give.
In view of these facts, it was said,
the statement that the United States
is the only nation which increased
it's Army over 1913 figures must have
been due to misunderstanding.
