Charles M. Moderwell, president
OF the board Of education and owner

in his report to Mayor Dever upon re-

accomplishments OF the board. The
report is resume OF the boards
achievements since Moderwell's ap-
pointment two years ago.
MeAndrew's Councils.
The new council which was sane
toned by the hoard at its last meet
ing will be made up of one repres-

organization in the city. They will
meet with the superintendent and
other bosses on the educational staff
Meetings will be called by the super

were in fact school shop meetings
where the teachers in individual
schools met to discuss problems arts

plain where the money for the raise
will come from. Coath under the head

motion but like school boy about

much embarrassed. He finally walk

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 10
The latest report from the U. S. de-
partment of labor completed for 20
cities out of the 81 included in the
bureaus report shows marked in
crease in the cost Of food for the
year period March Is. 1924 to March

Out Of the 20 cities, 10 show the fol-
lowing increases: Peoria, 8 per cent;
Detroit, per cent; Buffalo, Cleveland

ton, D. c. per cent; indianapolis, 4
per cent; Charleston. s. c.. Columbus,
Milwaukee and Portland, Me-, per
cent; Boston, Bridgeport, Neward and
New Haven, per. cent; and Provi
dence per cent. In Fall River there
was a decrease Of less than FIVE
tenths Of per cent.
AS compared with the average cost
in the year 1918. the retail cost of
food on March is, 1928 was So per
cent higher in Richmond, So per cent
in Detroit, 81 per cent in Washing
ton, D. c., Sc per cent in Buffalo. IS

HILLCREST, Alta, Canada, April
(By MaiD-The situation here has got
ten worse. Blairmore and Bellevue
have decided to accept the new wage
scale, giving till today, a chance for
Hiilcrest and Coleman TO come with
them.
AS the latter two camps have no
other choice now but TO go, they have,
AZ least my own camp, elected COM
mittees to meet the operators to nego-
tiate.
Dissolution.
We will meet them as U. M. w. A.
men, when It is over chances are we'n
be nothing. 1t will be put to a vote,
and even if the vote of Hillcrest and
Coleman defeats it. the other two
camps will take It anyway.
The strike call that the sub-district
asked for, for the whole district, was
turned down by our district officials.
They have been useless to us in the
present crisis.
Fighting Leaders Needed.
What we hack is good leaders. If
we had them I'm sure the present sit
uation wouldn't have come to us. The
drive appears to be to smash the
union, and I'm afraid it will succeed
around here.
The rank and Ale have convinced
themselves Of the coming cut and
there was no one to say anything to
the contrary If the union does go,
the chances are the active members
will be blackhsted; if so. the condi
tons Of these camps win be worse
than before.

of two successive weeks. Direct ap-
peal to South Side party members, ap-
plicants and friends to take advan-
tage of this series of courses is made.
It is the first time that the South Side
Negro workers have had advantage OF
classes Of this nature being brought
to their immediate vicinity.
The important place the Negro work
er holds today in the industrial life OF
America warrants a new knowledge Of
his relationship to the economic de-
velopment Of America. The prime aim
OF these classes is to bring a scien-
tifc understanding OF the underlying
causes of present day racial conflicts
in American life. 1t is the hope to
develop competent Negro leadership

ment, which day by day clearly prom
ises to assume great Importance in

THE MEXICAN BEAN
BEETLE INvADES U. S.
UNWELCOME SECT IMMI-
GRANT HAS CROSSED RIO
GRANDE. rs SPREADING.

The Mexican bean beetle, unwel-
come immigrant from across the Rio
Grande, has been spreading so rapidly
that it now threatens New England.
Western New York will look on al
most helplessly this year as the pest
makes its entry there, reports Prof.
Glenn w. Herrick. entomologist at
Cornell university. The pest will prob
ably invade the bean fields of at least
three counties and by 1926 cause con-
siderable injury
The beetle has been known for about
rs years in the southwest. Suddenly,
about 1918, it took a long jump from
Arizona and landed in the vicinity of
Birmingham, Ala, where it was dis
covered in 1920.
Since then it has developed an as
tonishing amount of activity and has
spread over the east with whirlwind
rapidity, says Prof. Herrick.
Rapid Advance.
By 1921 the beetle had travelled
northward through Tennessee and
Kentucky and in 1924 it had covered
almost all of Ohio, much of West
Virginia, narrow strip in western
Pennsylvania and stopped its wander
ing within about 100 miles of the
western boundary of New. York.
1t is about the size and shape OF
one-half of a pea-bean. 1t is a red
dish or copper-colored and bears 10
small black spots on its back, eight
on each wing cover.
The eggs are orange colored and
are little smaller than the eggs Of
the common Colorado potato beetle.
They are laid in patches of 40 to on
on the underside OF bean leaves, where
one can easily see them.
The grubs are orange-colored and
are covered with long branching
spines. No other pests on beans look
like them.
Prevention.
Both the beetles and grubs feed on
the leaves, which are soon skeletonized
and severely injured.
The Mexican bean weevil is said
to be the most injurious pest OF beans
in the United States. 1t is exceeding
ly difficult to control.
Spraying with magnesium arsenate
at the rate of 2 pounds to 100 gallons
Of water, with l pound of lime casei-
nate added as a spreader, has proved
fairly satisfactory. Four applications
may be necessary. busting with high
grade calcium arsenate has also been
practiced by growers where spraying
was impracticable.
Much more experimental work
needs to be done, however.
