Wilson Memorial Picture Here

One of the special features of the
picture show tonight is an Interna-
tional Memorial film of ex-President
Wilson, starting from the time he
was first inaugurated president, and
ending to within a short time before
his death. Manager Eveland invited
few persons to see this picture
when it was run through Wednes-
day evening, and it is well worth
seeing. The picture is very clear,
and portrays many remarkable
scenes during the period of the
greatest war in history. In present
ing this picture Manager Eveland
again demonstrates his up-to-date-
ness, since this film is so new that
it has ben shown in but very few
places

Will Interest You.

Does your back ache night and day:

Then likely your kidneys are weak.
More trouble may soon appear.

says: II had dull aching and sore
ness across my back and my kidneys

Seek Treasure Under Sea

The harbor Of ancient Carthage Is
to be thoroughly explored in search OF
treasure which is now definitely
known to exist there, its presence hav-'
ing been revealed by observers in air
planes. For years the sponge divers
in that vicinity have repeated stories
about seeing an ancient galley repOs-
ing on the bottom, but the matter was
never given any, very serious atten-
ton. But from a height the bottom
Of the sea may be scanned very thor
Oughly and some aerial observations
revealed the presence of boat of an
cient construction very clearly. and
some preliminary examinations have
shown that 1t is at least partially
filed with valuable specimens OF
Greek art. Explorations on modern
plans will be commenced at once and
the cargo systematically recovered.
The old harbor will be further
searched for treasure ships which are
known to have gone down during the
Punic wars. In this work the airplane
will play an important part.

sect. This chemical is white crys-
talline substance having an etherlike
odor which, while harmless to per-
sons and domestic animals under or
binary conditions, is poisonous to in
sects.
Application of this chemical to
peach trees for the control of the
peach borer should be made in the fall
after most of the moths have finished
their egg-laying activities, to avoid
late infestation of the trees. The time
suggested varies from September /
as far north as Michigan, to October
10 in Georgia and Texas. The method
consists simply of applying the chem
ical to the soil around the base Of the
tree in circular band an inch or two
wide, care being taken that the inner
part of the band is about two inches
from the tree trunk. AS soon as the
chemical has been applied, cover it
carefully with several shovelfuls of
dirt, making a cone,shaped mound a
round the tree trunk by packing the
earth with the back of the shovel.
Under average fall weather condi-
tions most Of the chemical under the
soil covering will have evaporated in
four to six weeks, killing from 80 to
100 per cent Of the borers. It is a
good practice to remove the mounds
of dirt some five or six weeks after
application of the chemical.
The "paradichlor," in the expert
ence of the Bureau of Entomology,
can be used without danger of injury
on trees years of age and over
the dose on and year trees being
three-fourths of an ounce per tree, on
trees 6 years Of age and older l ounce
per tree, or, if the trees are usually
large l and one-fourth ounces may be
used.

Menace Of VesuUius
Today as Yesterday

A queer life they must have lived
In those little houses Of Pompeii,
whose rough masonry and stained
patches Of color were first created
when Germany was savage forest.
Britain a moist land distant from civ
ilization 'the whole globe away" and
America had never felt the tread of a
shod foot. In the sunny courtyard
the master dreams away the hot hours
to the splash of the tiny fountain,
listening to the sleepy gable OF his
slaves from the rooms round the
atrium. The rattle Of the twO-horsed
chariots over the lava blocks of the
street, the oaths of driver who fails
to negotiate the huge stones placed
like massive policemen to regulate the
traffic at the entrances to the cross
roads, disturb his slumber, and he re-
members the gladiatOrs, "herOes OF
ten fights" when the aedile Pansa is
to exhibit in the arena on the Nones
of April. A dull roar, and vertical
column of pearl-white smoke, bellying
out into fantastic shapes and floating
majestically away on the light wind,
shows him that Vesuvius is angry. He
chances for reinsurance to the picture
of the Lares and the snake of fortune,
painted on the wall of the entrance
porch to avert ill-luck. No need to
worry: it has always been like that
and always will be.
Al Is like that today. The monster
shorts fire and smoke innocuously
into the blue sky. Visitors OH sturdy
ponies 60 fearlessly up to gaze into
his black, evil-looking jaws. But will
it always be like that? Or, when the
