their hour of sorrow. III. ..s.ss,"

The common cabbage worm, the
best known and one of the most i'm
portant insect enemies of cabbage, is
a velyety green worm, or caterpillar,
measuring when full grown about IL
inches in length, and is the young of
well known white butterfly. 1t feeds
upon the leaves and eats into the buds
and head of the cabbage, starting ear
ly in the season and continuing active
until frost. Natural enemies do much
to hold the pest in check. The best
method of control is by spraying or
busting with arsenical poisons such
as lead arsenate, calcium arsenate, or
Paris green. The treatment should
begin as soon as the worms are no.
ticed and continue as often as neces-
sary to properly protect the crop
These poisons are not recommended
for use on cabbage where the outer
leaves are to be used for human food
as greens, or are to be fed to live
stock

Salt for Cows.

Dairy cows should have all the salt
they want. The quantity consumed
will vary with the kind of feed and
size of the animal. Experiments
have shown that ordinary cows in
milk will require about 1 ounce of
salt day. Heavy producers should
get more. Many dairymen mix salt
with the grain mixture, Incorporating
from 1 to 2 pounds of salt with each
100 pounds of concentrates. In adj
dition, salt is provided so that the
cows can have access to it and take
more if they desire. Stock salt can
be purchased in several forms. In
cake form, salt may be kept in each
feed box in the barn where the ami
NAL can lick it, Or it may be placed
in convenient places in the lot or
pasture. 1t should be in some shell
tered place to prevent the rain from
dissolving it.

such as amber cane, orange cane,

The World and All
NEEDED

We are getting so civilized that we are forgetting
the good features OF the old organizations OF society
that were far less civilized but often more natural.
Our lawmakers meet in regular sessions to pass
more laws. At Washington and in the capital cities
Of the forty-eight states, Americans indulge in regular
orgies Of law-making every year or two
Already there are more laws in every state than
any lawyer can hope 70 learn about in a lifetime Of
study and practice.
But it's 50 easy to pass and print another Law, or
another volume Of Iawsi
In Iceland. nine hundred years after the be-
ginning Of the Christian era, there was a primitive but
sturdy civilization.
There were no law-books. There was one law-mak-
ing body. the Althing. Il was a legislative and judicial
body, passing the laws and trying the lawsuits, render
ing judgments and seeing them executed.
The only lawyer in the country was the L~awspeak-
er. It was the business Of the Lawspeaker TO learn all
the laws BY heart and say them from memory.
On public holidays, and at the close Of a session Of
the AlthinR at which a new law was passed. the Law
speaker went up to the top Of the Lawhill. in the CAPT
tai city. and in . load voice "said" all the laws for
the sovernance Of the people Of Iceland.
Naturally. the number Of laws was kept down TO
the minimum, since no Lawspesker could be expected
to remember and say" more laws than one could print
in q good-sized spelling book
Not a bad system at all. il seems to me. Most Of
the modern nations could cut expenses materially by
employing a Lawspeaker.
But can you imagine the Job Of the Lawspeaker who
should climb up on the Lawhill III the capital Of any
American state, and start to SAY" the laws? The poor
fellow would break all the marathon records Of the
flagpole sitters, just repeating the laws passed ut one
session Of one Of our state legislatures.
We can learn something from the most primitive
peoples, and from Iceland's early history We can learn
how simple j. life when laws are few and forceful.

BRIToNs scoRN As.ERIcAN MARINE


During the early stages Of the World war the for
mer Germany emperor held the British army In con-
tempt. The ~contemptibles," however, turned the ia
bles on William. Today the British hold much the

an Illuminating commentary on the British state Of
mind with respect to American shipping. He says.
~The United States government has long been at its
wits end 60 know what TO do with IFS merchant marine.
1t has the most expensive, unstable, unwanted state

however. He does not "think the prospect is likely to
disturb our companies. They have long found it pos

the admiralty are urged to do with the American
navy-dismiss IL from their calculations"
II comment Of this kind. published in British

Europe ia Unsatisfactory much so-with the
American tariff policy. and this dissatisfaction has at
last found open and forcefuI =<Sression. The dispute
with the United States. started BY the increase in
French duties, is more than a passing squall. Careful
and reasonable diplomacy may end il quickly, but the
sources Of difficulty will remain unless extensive con-
sessions are made by the United States.
There is little reason to believe that the French
government particularly intended to stir the whole
question Of American tariff policy; its action was prob
ably nothing more than q regular step in the process
Of tariff revision and t~reaty-making. Nor is the pres
et vigorous difference between the two countries
without many presidents in the same field.
Leaders Of American political thought have appar-
entity sensed that the saunders Of a strong protectionist
policy IN postwar circumstances is facing a new chsl-
lanre. A feeling has been abroad that the present con-
troversy with France will have a strong influence on
future American tariff policy. And what is probably
6f greater Importance il the fact that the new Ameri-
can commercial policy based on the unconditional" in
terpretation Of the most favored treatment, has met
its first major obstacle.
