San Diego.-The Shenandoah com.

1913. when it appeared over this city,
Oct. 10, headed for the mooring mast
Mt North Island. The last 100 miles of
the journey were made at n speed of
more than co miles an hour.
The Shenandoah continuing to fol
low the northwestward course of the
Southern Pacific tracks. was sighted
ove C%oachella, Cal, north of Salton
sea, at 5:07 p. m.
San Gorgonio pass provided n low
altitude air path between the San Ber-
nardino mountains on the north and
the San JacintO mountains on the
south and observers along the line OF
the railway said the big ship appeared
to be attempting to go around the San
Jacinto range, rather than over 1t, by
taking advantage of this pass.
Reports from within the pass, how
ever, told of high winds and a heavy
rain and hailstorm. In the mountains
on either side. snow was falling. The
storm into which the Shenandoah was
then heading was conferred about SO
miles north of San Diego and about 40
miles southeast Of San Bernardino.

BOMB WRECKS BuiMP AND
INJURIES FIVE OF THE CREW

Newport News. Va. Lieutenant
Bruce NJ. Martin died as a result OF
injuries sustained at Langley field.
Oct. 10. when n bomb carried by the
United States army blimp TC-2 pre-
maturcIy exploded, wrecking the craft
and injuring the five members OF its
crew.
Lieutenant Arthur Puyer was SER
tously burned and Master Sergeant
Fkz and S%ergeants Wells and Jacobs
sustained less serious injuries.
The blimp was about $50 feet in the
air when n large bomb exploded pre-
maturely n blew a gaping hole In the
silk-encnsed bag. The blimp collapsed
and came crashing to the earth, the
officers and men aboard having nc
time to take to parachutes.
Flying pieces of shell are thought to
oav struck some of the men when the
oomb exploded. but whether this was
the cnse was not definitely learned.
The full extent of the damage to the
ship has not been determined by the
fact that the gas bag was. severely
torn by the explosion and fall. which
followed. The fact that the ship was
inflated with nonexplosive helium gas
probably prevented her complete de-
struction and the loss Of the lives of
all the members of her crew.

Sycamore Blight
Is Most Severe
Trees in Many States East of
Mississippi River Hard
Hit This Year.
tPrepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)

(prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Sycamore trees this spring and
early summer were especially hard hit
by n blight. commonly known as
sycamore blight. in many states east
Of the Mississippi river. not;.bly Ohio,
Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Illinois,
and Virginia. The disease affects not
only the common sycamore, or button
wood. but also the oriental plane tree.
Due to Wet Spring.
Although the blight occurs to n
slight extent every year in the east
ern and central United States. the
severity of the attack this year, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. appears to be
largely due to the unusually wet
spring. when the leaves were develop
ing.
The blight Injuries the newly deyel-
oped leaves and the young shoots. The
new leaves just unfolding from the
lud suddenly wither. become discol-
ored. and finally b~lacken. giving the
appearance of injury by frost. On
the older leaves the disease appears
as brown blOtches or spots of irregu-
lar shape, usually along the veins. In
severe cases the leaves fall. but a new
crop usually is produced later In the
summer. Continued defoliation in
successive years and the severe dying
back of the twigs eventually cause the
death of the tree.
Methods Of Control.
AS in the case Of most tree dis
eases, methods of controlling the
blight are rather expensive and usual
ly somewhat difficult to carry out. The
value of the tree, however, for shade
or ornamental purposes may possibly
warrant the expense and trouble. AS
a first step In controlling the disease,
the infected twigs should be careful
ly removed by pruning well back Of
the infected portion. All Of these
twigs. together with any fallen leaves
and twigs, should be carefully col
lected and burned. They should not
be thrown onto the rubbish heap,
since that Is often one Of the most
favorable places for the fungus to
fruit. It's spores may then be car
ried to healthy rec which may thus
become infected. After all the in
fected twlgs are cut away the re-
mainder of the tree should be sprayed
with bordeaux mixture In the proper
Ions 4-4-50. A second or third ap-
plication Of a weaker solution Of Dor
deaux mixture may be necessary be-
fore midsummer to protect the new
foliage. Again, in the autumn. 1t is
advisable to rake up and burn all
fallen leaves and twigs. since this
tends to prevent he spread Of II
disease which may be present upon
them.

EnaIand Faces Dirty Campaign

London.-With parliament dissolved
at the request of Premier Macdonald,
following the defeat Of the government,
remarks of the politicians and com
ments Of the press indicate that the
coming election is likely to be of more
interest than any of recent years.
Sidney Webb, president Of the board
Of trade. is quoted as saying the cam
paign will be an especially dirty one.
and the angry tone already manifest in
many declarations seems to Justify the
prediction.
One sign Of the eagerness of the
liberals and conservatives to prevent
another labor government is seen in
the initiation of negotiations between
the two old parties with n view to min
linking the number Of th~ree-cornered

How to Prevent Golfer

Enlargement Of the thyroid gland of
the calf. commonly termed goiter, may
be prevented by giving the pregnant
COW five grains of iodIde Of potash on
alternate days for sixty days before
calving. 1t may be dissolved in her
drinking water.
Where drinking cups are used In the
stable. a five-grain tablet Of the drug
may be dissolved in the water In each
cup every other day. Another plan Is
to dissolve one ounce Of lodide Of pot
ash in one gallon of water and of that
solution give the COW one tablespoon.

grains Of the drug, once daily In
water.
That amount is also tie correct dose
to give to a pregnant mare. SOW or
W to accomplish the same purpose.
Doing so will also prevent hairless
ness In newborn pigs, provided the
sow, throughout pregnancy, is made
to take active exercise daily and Is
fed a balanced ration Of mixed feed
and allowed access to minerals such
as salt, air-slaked lime, or ground
limestone and woodashes or steamed

successfully treated by giving 1t two
grains of iodlde Of potash nee daily

tincture of iodine two or three times
