SUMMER SCHOOLS
 OPEN 4TH WEEK

Birmingham's public summer schools Monday will open the fourth week of their session with all indications point ing to a steady continuance of what apparently is one of the most success ful summer sessions ever attempted by the local system.
 There has been an attendance during the entire term this year that exceeded any previous records. Three additional teachers have been added in the ele- mentary school classes.
 The summer school sessions are be- ing held at three elementary schools and at the Phillips High school. The elementary schools are the Bush. Powell and Woodlawn. Enrollments this year at the various schools are as follows: Phillips High, 569; Bush, 1G0; Powell, 230, and Woodlawn, 132.
 As the summer schools are not in- cluded in the regular budgets, a tuition fee is being charged for the pupils en- tering the six-week term. This tuition is $5 for elementary schools and $7.50 for the high school.
 Three classes of pupils predominate in the classes. They are students who failed or who had been conditioned in one or more classes during the past years and who wished to make up" their work; pupils who had done un- usually good work during the past semester and who were desirous cs making extra credits towards gradua- tions, and pupils who were weak in some particular subject and wished to review in it, even though they had been given satisfactory grades.

PLAN TO REVIVE JITNEY SERVICE
 LAID TO CLIQUE
Com m iSsiOner Wants Railway Company To
 Get Fair Play

Charging that small group of "ren- egade" operators are leading the fight to again place jitney buses on Bir- mingham streets, Commission President D. B. McLendon declared Saturday he would fight the move on the ground that the newly-organized Birmingham Elec- tric company should be encouraged rather than retarded, in it's effort to give this city the best street car service in the south"
 McLendon said he had learned that the jitney operators organization, which bitterly resisted the city's action in re- moving jitneys from the streets in 1922, is not taking part in the attempted comeback"
 "William F. Spencer, attorney for the jitney men in their last fight, also in forms me that his firm is not repre- senting the group of operators who are now active" McLendon added.
 Declaring that, fin his opinion, the movement is confined to a renegade group" which hopes to make the so- called comeback" an issue in next years city primary by holding out promises of a five-cept. fare, the com mission president asserted he would fight at every turn to give the street car company "every opportunity" to carry out its improvement program.
 5000 Names Needed
 The jitney men can force an election by presenting petitions signed by at least 5000 qualified voters, but Me Lendon does not believe this number of signatures can be obtained, "inasmuch as the leaders of the former jitney op- orators are taking no stock in the move ment."
 He declared the street car service is rapidly being improved, and quoted company officials as saying further i'm provement soon would be noticeable.
 My view is that the company should have a full, fair chance to make good, " he added.
 Reports to members of the city com mission indicate that the street car com pany has made money since it's recent reorganization, McLendon said.
 Despite the boast of leaders of the jitney movement that they will make it a dominant issue in next years cam paign, McLendon expressed the opinion that their effort would fall flat.
 Fair Play Wanted
 "In the last week." he explained, q have tried to sound out public senti- ment on this issue. find everywhere a feeling that the company, which has just been brought out of bankruptcy and reorganized, should be given ample opportunity to make good.
 '"This is not a time to urge the resto- toration of iitneys. If the service i'm proves, and continues to improve, the company should be encouraged and sup ported. If the service falls short of public expectations, then it will be time enough to talk about renewing the op- eration of jitneys."
 McLendon's views, generally speak ing, appeared to be shared by most city officials. After the long struggle to get the affairs of the street car com pany adjusted, the commission is not anxious to have its operations and i'm provement program so quickly leopard ized,

river, experts believe. The spread has been accomplished mainly by flight, they have learned. The beetle is slug gish in it's movements, but is a com paratively strong flier, and during the spring and summer may fly many miles. Marked beetles have, within two days, been captured five miles from the point where they were lib- erated.
 Bulletin Issued
 A bulletin containing virtually all facts about the life, habits and means of combating the beetle has been is- sued by Howard since he has been con ducting his investigations here. It de- tails the various experiments that have been conducted and describes the most effective plans to kill the insect.
 Regarding the habits of the pest he says: Tn the latitude of Birmingham, the beetles begin to emerge from their winter quarters in late March or early April, just as the early garden beans are coming up. By the middle of May most beetles have left their winter quarters. A few remain, however, un- til about the first of June.
 "On emerging from Information the beetles fly to nearby bean fields and the females deposit eggs after feeding for only few days. The insect repro duces so rapidly that by July or Au- gust, under favorable conditions, it has become extremely abundant.
 "The bean beetle can be successfully controlled by the use of certain arseni- cal poisons. Spraying has given the best results for the past three seasons. On account of the susceptibility of the bean plant to arsenical injury, the poi son must be applied carefully. In the southeastern states lead arsenate and zinc arsenate, which are reported to be useful in the west, have been found too injurious when tried on 'bean foliage to warrant their use under any con ditions. Calcium arsenate, undiluted, is very injurious to bean foliage, but a high grade may be successfully used by adding lime. For the past three seasons magnesium arsenate has given best results because it does not burn the foliage.
 Although spraying with liquid poi sons. has given consistently better re- suits against this beetle than dusting, the latter form of poison is becoming more popular year by year, and in the infested territory, most growers pre-. fer to apply insecticides to their beans in dust forms. Also, where medium in festation exists, dustinS gives good re suits.

Although it is not generally known, Birmingham, for the past four years, has been the center of an active cam paign by the federal government to repel a harmful invasion.
 But this invasion was not military. The onslaught was not delivered by an army of humans, and was not repelled by the federal military forces.
 It was, instead, more subtle and continued form of combat, one which has been progressing slowly, but which is, nevertheless, just as deadly and even more difficult to fight than actual war fare.
 This is a story of the invasion, in the Alabama truck farms, of the Mexi- can beetle.
 This insect, considered one of the most deadly of any preying on various crops, made it's first appearance east of the Mississippi during 1920, at Birmingham and Blocton, Ala.
 After becoming firmly settled in an area of approximately 4,500 square miles in northern Alabama, the pest, federal reports show, destroyed almost the entire bean crop in that section in 1921. It was also injurious to cowpeas, a hitherto unknown food plant, in some cases where this crop was growing in the vicinity of the bean fields.
 Department Acts
 As soon as the beetle made it's first appearance here the United States de- partment of agriculture took immediate steps to combat it. Experts from the bureau of entomology were sent to Birmingham, and a research laboratory and office was opened at 6427 First avenue, Woodlawn.
 Neale F. Howard, of the truck crop insect investigation department of the bureau, was placed in charge of this laboratory. A fifteen-acre tract in the East Lake truck-farm section was ac- quired and experiments were immedi- ately started in an effort to learn sue cessful means of combating the beetle.
 Since it made it's first appearance, the beetle has extended it's field con. siderably. Starting with 13 counties in northern Alabama in 1920, it spread over an area nearly 10 times as large during the next year, and was present in parts of six states. In 1922 it spread almost to the Ohio river in Kentucky, and to parts of Virginia. It is now known to be present in all these states, as well as in Mississippi and Ohio.
 Undoubtedly it will in time spread over most of the hilly portions of the United States, east of the Mississippi

 The trial of Frank Owens, alleged ax-man, is attracting much attention, due to the fact that Kenneth Charlton, counsel, has declared he will wage a spirited battle to prove that Owens is a victim of hereditary insanity.

Which To test out whether Senator
IA Follette is entitled to the label
"prosressive" in the viewpoint of the
voter.
First of all it should be recalled
chat La Toilette was close second
here to Roosevelt in the primary
days of 1912. But it cannot be said
that the same type of Republicans
who fought for Roosevelt then are
today supporting La Toilette.
In the contest between President
Coolidge and Hiram Johnson this
year the voters of oregon registered
their preference for Mr.. Coolidge by
5 TO /. Nothing has happened since
the primaries to make SO large body
o. voters turn from the President
The only question here is whether
the DISCONTINUED vote has grown.
Farmers Have Grievances.
Undoubtedly there is some dissatis-
faction here over the Presidents un-
willingness TO come out fatty for the
McNary -Haugen bin last Spring, and
there are farmers who still feel ag-
Srieved because the Federal Govern
ment instituted no relief measures to
boost the price OF certain farm prod
nets. But this disatfection is not so
Widespread as TO endanger the
chances Of Republican success.
The Is Toilette vote in Oregon will
hs large. 1t may even exceed the
Davis vote. But il is not coming
from the so-calIed independent or
progressive voters. 1t is coming from
