the world seeking for trouble
and excitement never have to hunt
far for danger and peril in the Solo

natives, savages that practice canni-
balism and delight III head-hunting
exploits. If there is one thing that
Papuan likes to do better than to
conquer his enemies, it is to deck
himself out in all his bracelets, an

The theme of Vanity Fair must
have had its origin in a Papuan In

pre-eminent as worshipers of personal
adornment. They have fuzzy hair
and no BARRIERS. Hair ornaments

America. Their use in the United
States has been of great help in the
control of the pest.
Although the European corn borer
has not greatly extended it's devasta-
tion area in the United States during
the last year. it always is menace
to the American corn crop. If ever it
gains widespread entrance to our
corn belt, there is no estimating the
tremendous amount of damage that
it may effect.
Corn growing has been curtailed in
certain sections OF New England as
a result of the domination Of this in
sect in those regions.
A parasite has latterly been found
to be promising control agency of
such infestation. More than half a
million parasites inimical to the corn
borer were collected in southern
France last summer and sent to the
United States where they We're liber-
ated in the infested areas of New
England. Potentially, Uncle Sam will
introduce and liberate millions of
other insect enemies of the corn borer
so as to help ultimately in the control
of the ravages of this pest in tho
United States. Scientific residents of
Washington will get the credit for
ing our domestic agriculture from
piratical pests, for they are the engi-
neers of these remarkable projects.

germ of ambition and fired with the
resolve to make for himself sue
cessful career.
Despite a genuine love of his coun-
try and his sympathy with and un-
derstanding of the Irish people and
their troubles, he sought fame and
fortune in England. Wise in his gen.
Grafton, he knew that his beloved Ire
land would lavish her love and plau-
dts upon him, but there would be no
ducats to fill his empty pockets.
With his "Odes of Anacreon" rolled
under his arm, he set forth upon his
quest to find a patron and to provide
golden key to the Golfers of Eng
land and access to its exclusive
circles.
Very soon the "Odes Of Anacreon"

headed by no less a parsonage than
the prince regent, and at once, of
course, fame and prosperity We're
showered upon the author.
THROUGH the interest of Lord
Moira, he was given an appoint
ment at Bermuda, but was disap-
pointed in the island and turned his
face toward the United States. His
arrival upon American shores brought
no fresh honors nor the slightest ap-
probation of his songs.
Having been the protege and com
panion of the Prince of Wales, and
therefore lionized in England. he ap-
parently turned from a lovable lad to
q pronounced snob. He went so far
in his efforts to stand wen with his
titled English patrons as TO compose
a bit of doggere1 against the priests
of Ireland.
Hence, when the poet landed in
Washington and betooz himself to
the residence of Mr.. Merry, the Eng
lish minister, whose abode was at
2411 Pennsylvania ave. a sturdy old
mansion, still in use as a dwelling. he
found himself snubbed and cold
shouldered by the large contingent of
Irish gentlemen of means and promi-
nence who had emigrated from Ire
land at various times during and
after the Revolutionary War. Among
them were many of the Irish patriots
with whom he had associated in his
college days, and who had been
forced to leave their native land be-
cause of their participation in the
uprising of the year before.
At the time the poet came Presi-
dent Jefferson was in the midst of
his first social tempest over the mat
ter of precedence, and Moore, of
course, took his stand with the rep
resentative of Great Britain.
The Presidents palace and Thomas
Jefferson. like the town, excited his
ire and his ridicule. The President
was merely amused at the pomposity
of Moore, and detecting his attitude
toward himself, completely ignored
him.
After the Presidents levee Moore
ridiculed the city and the people.
In his epistle to Thomas Hume he
gave his ideas of the city, saying:
The Presidents house, very noble
structure, is by no means suited to
the philosophical humility of it's pres
ent possessor, who inhabits but a
corner of the mansion himself and
abandons the rest to a state of un-
cleanly desolation.

very rude paling, through which
common rustic stile introduces the
visitor to the first man in America.
'The private buildings exhibit the
same characteristic display of arro-
CANT speculation and premature ruin"
But in spite of all his disgust and
dissatisfaction at Washington and her
people, he became inspired while here
to write the Epistles, Odes and other
peems, among them the immortal

rT HE idea Of using most OF the
gaws and geWgaws which
dazzle the eyes of her ad-
Inirers as milady trips styl-
ishly down the corridors of Peacock
Alley comes not from those founts Of
fashions, the French style shops, but
from the bailiwicks and wigwams,
the subterranean caves and the cliff
apartment houses of the primitive
savages, from the remote haunts of
head hunters and from the lunch
counters Of cannibals.
The supreme court of American
fashion may try to discountenance
and contradict every written word
that attributes the effects or defects
of the garb of our best dressed folks
to the ruthless redskins or the swarthy
settlers of the African bush. Over in
the Smithsonian Institution, however,
is to be found abundant and infallible
proof that the "bobbed hair of the
current vamp is but a copy OF a style
made fashionable ages ago by the
Wachago warriors of South Africa;
that the bracelets, necklaces, rings
and earrings of today are nothing
less than facsimiles of those worn by
Papuan cannibals in the Solomon
Islands.
Take, for example, an abbreviated
dress which looks for all the world
like some of the abridged costumes of
the musical comedy profession. In the
case Of this particular garb, which
looks like n ballet costume, truth is
stranger than fiction, for it really is
an armored war shirt of the Tehuel-
che tribe of Argentine Indians. De-
spite its battlefield origin, this gar
ment has been the foundation Of
strange styles in modern dress. Used
originally as a primitive form of ar
NOR, its counterparts. embellished and
adorned to satisfy the eccentricities
of milady, may today be found in the
leading metropolitan shops.
The war shirt was made of coarse
fiber woven into cords, which in turn
were woven into the impenetrable
coat of armor that would defect
sharp-pointed spears, lances and ar
rows and prevent injury TO the
wearer. The recent dresses that are
cut on similar lines and style are
made of expensive silks and satins.

HEN Thomas Moore, the
M gifted Irish bard, visited
" " America in the spring of
1904, he came to praise
and remained to criticize, for there
was but little to crafty the tastes
of the satiated. blase little poet in
the crudities and primitive modes of
life in the little village Capital of the
United States, the dream city of
Washington and Pierre L'Enfant, so
derisively termed the "City of Mag
nificent Distances" To Moore, it was
at once. a city of magnificent disap-
pointnients,- and he. lost no oppor-
tunity to lampoon it and it's scat
tered residents mercilessly.
Moore was just twenty-five at the
time of his visit. At the height of
his popularity in England and in the
full blush of his swiftly mounting
fame, he was something of paradox
in his characteristics. Bubbling over
with the buoyance of youth and sue
cess, artistic and lovable, he was also
hot-tempered, impetuous, erratic, some
what overproud of his achievements and
calmly expecting the New World to fall
at his feet and worship his talents.
Genius had stamped him without
question, for he was a child of the
people, essentially human, and the
poems and songs that have lived
longest and are best beloved are
those he wrote with his head upon
Mother Natures breast, when he
tuned his magic Tyre to the heart
throbs of his oppressed and suffering
people, and to the vibrations of their
joys and sorrows poured forth lifting
melodies that have never lost their
power to touch the heart or fire the
ina gination.
Ever ready for a new love, an
other duel or the chase of the wilI-o'-
the-wisp inspiration, he could be Bit
terly cynical and coldly calculating
in his relations with those who Of
Tended him.
America offended him, but he first
antagRnized it's citizens, and the trib-
ute his genius should have had was
withheld.
Thomas Moore first saw the light
in one of the humble sections of
Dublin. His parents kept tiny gro
Gerry tavern, and from it's scanty
profits contrived to give this promis-
ing lad an education at Trinity Col
lege. Ireland was then regarded as a
hotbed of rebellion Relief from Eng
lands oppressive yoke was the COM
mon plea, and soothsayers and
witches were besought for signs and
omens that would throw out CLEAN
of hope and tighten the burden of
fear and misery, in the promise of
future freedom. Under the constant
pressure of the peoples despair these
aged crones mumbled the eerie proph-
ecy that has rung down through the
generations, keeping the flame of
hope and courage fiickering until at
last the dream has become reality

entering. college, especially as his
classmate and companion was the be-
loved Robert Emmett,
Rollicking, good-natured and with
a charming voice and a gift for ver-
styling, young Moore soon became
known all over Dublin as a singer
and staunch patriot. His friends and
admirers were legion.

native are no less startling than the
brilliancy of some of the costly Golf
