Gov. Brewster Said

The modern theory of State Rights
has been defined by supposed
disciple of Jefferson as requiring
that mo power ever ought to be
reposed in the national government
that can as we'll be entrusted to the
state =. Every case" he says, lis
to be judged by that touchstone."
Jefferson in 1900 would probably
have stopped far short of such a
mere balancing of advantages. He
| would more likely have said: rs it
at all practicable for the telephone
+ business to be adequately regulated
by the states?"
In its inception foreign affairs and
| interstate commerce practically COM
pretended the federal activities but
interstate commerce meant very lit

along the Atlantic seaboard. 1t
! touched their lives at minor points.
The state government itself they
scarcely knew. and the federal gov
eminent they knew not at all so far
as the life of the ordinary man was
concerned.

become economically and socially
one. Today interstate commerce

humblest is daily served by the four
quarters of the United States.
In railroads and banking and
meat-packing and trade practices and
combinations Federal regulation is
now matter of course. But how
are the states to secure any effective
regulation of radio or aircraft or
telephone rates or interstate trans
mission of electrical power or a
variety of other problems that laugh
at the bounds of states?
Federal regulation of interstate
commerce is 25 years behind the
economic facts.
This deals only with the increas-
ingly intricate commercial problems
that confront Americans at every
turn. 1t does not touch the broader
considerations of social welfare with
which America has been in recent
years increasingly concerned.
Nor does it touch the other field Of
cooperative effort between the Fed
cral Government and the great bust
ness and agricultural interests of
this country by which the problem
of production must be solved if
America is not to be drowned in an
ocean of plenty.

economic slavery to vast masses Of
our people amid the complicated
commercial mechanism of the pres
ent day.
We have had recurring cycles of
depression but they only marked a
pause for progress to new heights.
Now the United States seems enter
ing a new phase in its development
that definitely reached it's turning
point in enormous expansion of pro-
duction incident to the World War.
The war accelerated the arrival of
the period that in any event could
not have been long delayed.
For generations we have been
dominated by the so-called economic
law that over-production brings in
action and men walk the streets and
starve because the storehouses are
too full. Centuries ago in Egypt
famine came because the crops had
failed and prudence required pro-

sort.

cyanic gas powerful acid gas that 1t
Is believed will check the ravages of
these insects.
These beetles are doing a tremen-
dous amount of damage annually to
the old cathedrals in Europe, and large
amounts of money are being expended
to replace the timbers destroyed by
Them" he said.
He spoke of another place in Maine
where Powder Post sbeetles had made
the beams in q large barn SO unsafe
that there was grave danger of the
barn falling down. The insect in quest
ton is about one-ffth of an inch In
length and is cylindrical in shape and
reddish brown in color. They live in
dry sapwood, feeding until the wood Is
turned to find dry powder, causing
it to crumble. Hardwood material In
storage Is subject to damage by these
beetles, furniture having been known
to crumble before the presence of the
beetles became known.
DR. Pierson continued: 1.-THE large,
black Carpenter Ant also does consid-
cradle damage to buildings at times
They make extensive tunnels and gal
leries in wood and are difficult to de-
stroy unless their nests can be located
in which case carbon bisulphide can
be employed on them to good advan-
tage."
Methods of Slipping something
over" on the ants are explained by
the doctor, who adds:
Bits of food can be placed where
they will find it, and the lines of march
followed and observed, the nests being
located by this means.
Rustic work of log cabins is often
destroyed by these insects; in fact
nearly all such work eventually sue
cumbs to their attacks, but If all
such woodwork is saturated with or
thodichlorobenzine this can be pre-
vented. This is a colorless liquid

fast, dinner and supper, and goes
worming its way through the universe
eating peoples houses down.
Henry D. Pierson. State forest ento-
mologist, said yesterday:
I'VE have had several calls In refer
ence to insects working in the tim
bers of houses and barns of late. In
one case the blue pine borer Scientific
name given below is destroying a
large estate on Mt. Desert Island. The
swarms of fiat, purplish-blue beetles
are attacking the woodwork. supports,
beams and furniture of the house and
have even invaded an annex which is
at some distance from the main house.
piles of fine sawdust around the
sides of the room and beneath the fur
niture show where the borers are at
work. At the time of our examination
the beetles were depositing their eggs
in the woodwork. These eggs later
hatch into grubs which do the tunnel
ing in the wood, and when full grown
they pupate and next July will come
out as more beetles to again start a
sieges of destruction. The adult bee
ties die soon after laying their eggs.
The so-called Death Watch beetle
was also working in the furniture.
This is an interesting, though destruc-
tive little beetle about which much
superstition has always centered. The
ticking sound which emanates from
dry wood is caused by these little
workers bobbing their heads up and
down against the dry wood. AS they
are often found feeding in the furni-
ture of old bed-chambers, the super
stition arose that this tapping or tick
ing sound was an omen of approaching
death"
An attempt is being made to pre-
serve at least part of the house in
