 tary of the Treasury Mellon's S name was brought into the Daugherty investigation today by Gaston B. Means, former Department of, Justice agent, who said that, for President Harding, he investigated mat, ters connected with certain per mits having to do with violation of the Volstead act.
 -"Jess Smith wanted us to catch Secretary Mellon,' and we caught him." said Means, who declared that, Harding wanted the information. "The first tune he slipped through our fingers. "
 Means, who is under indlct, m ent in @ liquor case, when asked if he wanted immunity, replied: "I waive immunity. 1 ask no quarter, and will give no quarter"
 Means further testified this af ternoon that in February. 1922, in the old Bellevue Hotel, in Washington, he, received from "a Japanese representing Mitsui & Co., one hundred thousand dollars to stop government pros ecation inrthe Standard Aircraft case and that he turned the money over to the late Jess W. Smith, Daugberty's bumper and friend" /"
 Washington. = Testifying be- fore the Daugherty Investigating committee this afternoon, Means said that Jess Smith told him that Harding. Hughes, Daugh- erty and Mclean attended prl- vate showing of the Dempsey Carpenter fight pictures at Me Leans Washington home, de spite the fact that it was a viola tion of the federal law to show the motion picture film from New Jersey, where the fight took place, in Washington. The witness also averred that it was for Jess Smith he collected be- tween $50, ,000 and. $35, ,000 in con- nection with the various show ings of the films.
 Washington, Mar. lS.-F. c. Quimby, of4New York, the motion. picture man who was under contract with Tex Rick ard to make the films of the Dempsey Carpenter fight, testifying before the Daugherty committee, confirmed the statement of Means that the pictures had been shipped out of New Jersey, in violation of the law, and shown in Washington before Harding, in addi- tion to several members of his Cabinet, including New, postmaster general. Quimby said the pictures had oeen shown ln twenty-twO states under & secret plan, Rickard assuring him that there would be no trouble whereupon Senator Ashurst asked; Didn't you l know the Department of Justice was a l department of easy virtueY" Washington, March 19.-Secretary of State Hughes, who was named by | Means as one of the audience in which l Harding and other government off cials viewed the Dempsey Carpenter fight film in Washington at the home of Mclean, said today he had not | known that the pictures were to be shown when he went to the Mclean dinner, or thatlthe films were brought

Care of Fruit and Vegetables Is Important.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Most fresh fruits and vegetables
need to be kept clean, well ventilated
and, If possible, at a temperature be-
tween 60 degrees and 40 degrees F.
These conditions help to prevent spoil
age by whiting and by molds, bacteria
and yeasts, and to check ripening
changes. Fresh fruits and vegetables
are living materials, even after they
are picked from the plant or the soil
where they grew, and certain sub
stances, called enzyms, continue to
work In the cells and bring about
ripening. From the standpoint of edl-
BILE quality, there is a certain stage of
ripeness when every fruit and vege-
table is considered prime, and the
care it receives in the home oftentimes
is very important in maintaining this
period or in handling foods that have
passed it.
Sort Over Frequently.
To prevent single pieces of decayed
fruit or vegetables from injecting
others in the same container the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
suggests, in new Farmers Bulletin,
1874, Care of Food in the Home"
that fruits and vegetables stored in
boxes, barrels and bins should be sort
The Colorado statesman., 1924-05-03

, ed frequently to remove decayed ones.
The commercial practice Of wrapping
oranges, apples and other fruits, and
sometimes choice vegetables, in sepa-
rate papers Is in some cases worth fol-
lowing in the home. The wrappers
prevent the fruits from bruising each
other, and also keep the skins froni
touching and so offering a favorable
place for the growth of molds. Soft
fruits, such as berries, peaches, plums
and pears should, If possible, be spread
out on clean wrapping paper or in
shallow pans or platters rather than
kept in deep receptacles.
Wash Thoroughly.
All vegetables and fruits, especially
those to be eaten raw, should be thor
oughly washed before use as a protec-
tion to health as well as for the sake
of general cleanliness. The loss of
flavor and texture is very slight, even
in such thin-skinned fruits as straw
berries, provided they are not allowed
to stand in the water and are drained
thoroughly, and lettuce and other salad
plants are made crisper and more at
tractive. Lifting them from the wa
ter rather than draining it off Is an
effective way Of freeing these foods
from grit and dirt or washing them
in running water is perhaps best of all.

brushed every two weeks, it is doubt
full IL moths can affect it seriously.
Carpets and rugs cleaned by strong
vacuum cleaners and thoroughly
brushed on both sides, or electrically
cleaned are freed from infestation If
the work is properly done. Clothing
dry-cleaned is also freed from infesta-
tion by the process Once freed from
infestation, clothes should be protect
ed, If they are not to be used during
the warm season, by being immediate
ly wrapped in paper or placed in tight
chests or treated closets.
The public is familiar with moth
proof" paper bags of various types
that appear upon the market each
summer. These bags, if not torn and
If properly used, are excellent for
keeping moths from reaching clothing.
They are of no value in killing moths
that may be in the clothing when it
is placed in the bag, and those made
of plain paper are just as good as
those containing tar. The value of
such bags as protectors against infes-
tation ceases largely as soon as they
scaled.
Ordinary firm wrapping paper is
satisfactory, or several thiclneSses of
newspapers will serve. Clothes moths
do not eat into paper to reach cloth
ing. For this reason, if woolens and
other fabrics subject to moth attack
are cleaned and freed from moths by
any of the methods mentioned above,
they will remain safe If wrapped al
once and tightly in several thick
nesses of firm wrapping paper or In
newspapers. There is general belief
that the print on newspapers keeps
moths away. This is not true. Amy
paper of moderate thickness and IN
broken will protect clothing. Care
must be exercised to bend back the
folds of the paper upon themselves al
the ends of the bundles so that the
moths cannot crawl into the bundles
at the ends.
After clothing has been made into
bundles or sealed in boxes, these
bundles and boxes may be left ex-
posed in garrets or on storeroom
shelves without danger of infestation
from without. If flake naphthalene is
wrapped among the folds of clothing
made into bundles, any small larvae
that may have got into the cloth be-
fore It was wrapped will he killed.
The main point about using naph-
thalene flakes or any substance that
is expected to kill moth larvae by Civ.
ing off fumes is that the bundle,
trunk or container must be absolutely
tight In order to confine the fumes or
they will not be effective.

especially intelligent preparation for
preventing damage by clothes moths

The United States Department of
Agriculture has very comprehensive
bulletin, F. B. 1853, Clothes Moths and
Their Control, which will be sent for
the asking. This describes In detail
various ways of protecting articles by
such means as careful wrapping in un-
broken paper, using naphthalene flakes
or balls, and other preparations which
give off fumes, cold storage, fumiga-
tion, putting In cedar chests and other
methods.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the value of frequent brushing,
beating, summing and cleaning articles
subject to clothes moth attack. The
eggs of clothes moths are delicate and
can usually be crushed or dislodged
by brushing and beating. Pay special
attention to crevices, seams and pock-
cts Stunning is a valuable aid in con-
troll work. In articles laid away moths
are much more likely to concentrate
upon soiled spots If these have not
been removed. Brushing and beating
usually remove or kill the larvae or
worms. If clothing is thoroughly
