POTATO GROWERS
FACE INSECT DANGER
Continued from first pagel


States has been forgotten. The insect
has not appeared as yet in the Mary
land counties.
1t is at it's worst in Northampton
with conditions growing worse in Ac-
cOmac county.
The produce exchange is aiding in
every possible way. 1t is the substi-
tute in Virginia for the Maryland Elk
tension Service. At the special meet
ing Thursday of the directors it was
decided unanimously that to save the
industry the late crop of potatoes
should be sacrificed. None will be
shipped and two cars that had been
sent out were recalled and destroyed
1t is from this crop that the pota-
toes for home consumption and seed
are obtained. 1t is the purpose of the
exchange and the Maryland authori-
ties to voluntarily quarantine the en-
tire second crop and destroy the
vines and seed potatoes. Also to so in
TO other States and procure seed for
a number of years. Nor will even a
voluntary vine be allowed to grow.
C. c. Glider, of the Maryland Board
Of Agriculture, said that it was crit
zeal condition, and that the growers
of both States were going to sacrifice
d 100000 crop in the hope that a
$15,000,000 crop might be assured.
Glider expressed himself as conf
dent that everything possible is being
done to stop the ravages.
q unique feature of the campaign is
that the growers are in this instance
making the sacrifice and are only ap-
pealing to the States for advice and
leadership. Potatoes have made the
two Virginia counties the richest for
their size in the world. Somerset and
Worcester are just awakening to
truck farming and are advancing as
rapidly as any in Maryland.
Growers today expressed their ap-
probation of the quick response of
the College Park experts and are de-
lighted at the way the members Of
the university are jumping into the
fight. Another cause for encourage
ment is the way the authorities are
working together in each others
territory. They are all fighting, but
are not optimistic that the insect will
be speedily conquered. w. Nice.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-"Ten Nights
in Hyde Park" might well be the
title of the latest literary effort
from the pen OF the Bishop OF
London, who is chairman of the
London Council for the Promotion
of Public Morality.
And what fine little row the
Bishops composition has stirred up.
Quoth the Bishop in a letter to
the press dealing with the subject
OF "spooning" in London's open
spaces:
Ten nights observation in, Hyde
Park disclosed TAG cases of impro.
priety, tndecency or immortality.
Ten nights observation in five
other parks disclosed 2,615 cases
Of complaint"
No sooner had the Bishops letter
appeared In print than a shrek of
strident dissent arose from the de.
tenders Of London's honor.
TO get the picture clearly before
the reader 1t must be explained
that London's many large parks
ana public grounds have long been
regarded as the Counting pre-.
serves Of the masses

VERY much doubt whether the
enormous number OF cases I1e
quotes would be included under any
OF these headings by the average
citizen. Have the inspectors. eyery
time they have seen a courtinr
couple kissing, noted the act under
the heading OF improperly?
Where are the young men and
women to do their counting IL not

Macmillan, well-known English

Men and women there seem to
work and play together and think
nothing OF til
'tCo-education is the true 'edu-
cational democracy"
In addition. Miss Fitch says that
women through years of separate
! education are apt finally to regard
men as their enemies.
II suppose they form the opinion
that man is the natural enemy of
women and that they must band
together to save themselves IL they
would advance in business, profess
sions or politics.
LAS a result, see our women OF
the East working separately instead
OF together in movements for civic
reform or politics. 1t will take
years to overcome this tendency"
Still, one of the most prominent
adherents to what Miss Fitch refers
TO as strange theories" is the
graduate of q co-educational college.
The theory, in this case, Is the
woman's party, and the member
we refer to Is Miss Doris Stevens.

Marriage, apparently, has never In
terfered with her public work.
But is man, after all, so very
different from woman? Cannot a
woman used to dealing amicably
with her own difficult sex be trusted
to get on with men? But Miss
Fitch contends:
>tCollege women are the natural
leaders among women, and 1t Is high
ly important, believe, that they
learn to work with men in school and
in college before they go out to-
gether to solve the problems of life
which become more complicated
every day"
Internal dissatisfaction in women's
colleges was noted several years ago
at the University of Pittsburgh.
Prof. Roswell Johnson and Bertha j.
StutZmann at the time said such in
stitutions should be abolished to pre-
vent race suicide.
Race Suicide Threatened.
Co-education, they insisted, should
be the logical solution. The records
Of Wellesley College then were an
alyzed They showed then that
twenty years after their graduation
less than half Of the Wellesley girls
were married.
These sociological investigators
said they actually believed that wom-
ems colleges were fastening the ex-
tinction of the best American stock.
And for these reasons:
Girls hadn't enough opportunity to
meet men.
Girls in this environment did not
desire marriage.
Girls of this type did not become,
competent for wifehood or mother
hood.
Finally-they simply didn't get
married.
Goods, it is believed, have a much
better chance of marrying.
