Bean Beetle Control Demonstrations
An effort will be made at 10 a. m,
June a, at the Adams and Abel farm
to route the Mexican bean beetle. M.
P. Jones, extension specialist in en-
|tomology, will conduct control
demonstration at the time and place
stated above, and also at the New
berry farm in Stockport, at 2 p. m,
the same day.
There seems to be no foundation
for the much talked theory that the
bean beetle is to disappear after the
third or fourth year with us,
consequently, if we care for beans
as part of our ration it may be-
hoove us to make an effort to learn
how to control the enemy which
threatens to make our county a
beanless one.
HI Clothing Leaders Meet
Leaders of the All Clothing clubs
in the county met on Tuesday, June
z, for an all day training meeting,
with Miss Maiier specialist in All
Clothing work. Some of the leaders
did not come in for the training
meeting, but those who did attend
surely were able to bring back to
their club girls many excellent sug-
gestions for better and more eff
cient work. The club girls are in
deed fortunate when their leader is
able to attend the training meeting
with the specialists.

GOLF WOMEN SHOW
 LITTLE TECHNIQUE
Trevor Sees Them Score on
 Strength, Not Art

New York, Sept. o6 (49 - The hand that rocks the cradle cannot baby a chip shot. Impressed by the long driving of competitors for the Womcn's national golf tournament at Cherry Valley last week, George Trevor in todays Sun gives his opinion of the inferiority of women at the short game, in which one writes:
 "Iour correspondent takes his hat of to the gorgeous long range shots of the average Jop-notch woman golfer. We never cease to marvel at the majestic length they attain with driver, brassie, spoon aGI iron. With these devastating weapons the girls put to shame the average masculine invitation tour nament golfer.
 "Why, oh why. do these accom- plished women golfers fall down so abjectly around the greens? They are pitifuily Inadequate on delcatc, subtle little strokes that don't re- quire brute force. They shine at those back-breaking, Insty shots that call for sheer strength.
 Tt is sports amazing paradox, thls failure of the feminine sex at that gentle, dainty phase of golf which. one might suppose, should he adapted to comparatively trall women. The hand that rocks tha cradle cannot baby a tiny chip shot up 10 the lip of the cup. Daintness and delicacy are not feminine pre- negatives when it comes to executing approach shots.'
 The title was won by Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn, of Kansas City. who in the final round defeated Miss HMaureen Orcutt, of Englowood, N. l., by and 4. Each girl tried to hand the match to her adversary on silver platter," Trevor writes,

PASTOR SAYS MARRIAGE
 WON'T REMODEL WOMAN
Frivolous Girl, With Itch For Pleas. ure, Drinking and Wild Parties.
 Not Ideal Wife.

Chicago, Sept. 26 (UP)-A mar riage ceremony will not change a frivolous girl into a faithful wife, Rev. Clinton c. Cox of Drexel Park Presbyterian church told his con- gregation Sunday in a sermon on 'frivolity."
 "Frivolity," he said, lis a disease it is the itch for pleasure, for wild parties and drinking, setting fast so- cial life ahead of everything else.
 "A frivolous girl will not become faithful woman by listening to a marriage ceremony. The things that break up a home are the things which took place the other side of the altar.
 T do not condemn the light heart, but the giddy mind. There is much frivolity now.
 "The reason for most unhappy marriages is the craving for the old thrill of frivolity, which has become a habit. It leads a woman to desert her home for the old pleasures.

URGE NEW YORK
 ID OWN SUbWAYS
Favor Municipal Ownership for
 Billion Dollar Project

New York, Sept. 26 UP)-A plan under which New York wouIJ eventually own and operate it's sub way system was laid before the transit commission and the peonle 1 of New York today. Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the transit commission, advanced the recommendations in making | public his report which followed weeks of exhaustive hearings on the transportation que stion. The subway system which now is taxed 10 bring New York's hundreds of thousands of workers from their | homes to their places of work and | back again each day. is rapidly ap- preaching billion dollar project Cntermyer urged that the time had 1 come when the city should take from private hands the operation of system so large and of such i'm portance to the city and it's people.
 tntermycr recommended: 1-Retention of the cent fare subject 10 its approval in q popular referendum.
 2-Purchase by the city of the entire 1nterborough Subway system for S945,594 00O. If that failed, he proposed recapture of the East Side lnterborough for $1S4,o00,O00. S-Recapture by the city of the Brooklyn Manhattan Transit lines for s62, 900, 900.
 4-Combination Of these two sys- tens with the municipal subway system now being built at an esti- mated cost Of S699, ,000
 o-Condemnation and purchase by the city of any other lines or part of lines needed 10 complete the sys- tenn.
 The proposed purchases and re- captures would be made through the Issuance of long term bonds. The municipal transit system would be operated by a corporation composed of nine directors, five of whom would be chosen by civic and business organizations, three 10 be members of the city admlnistra- ton, and one, the president, 10 be elected by the other eight directors.
 Cntefmeyr said the cent fare would be adequate to sustain the cost of the purchase and recapture Of the proposed lines and their operation, and might even produce q profit.
 If the cent fare results in a de- flcit when the city operates the system it now has under construc- ton, he proposed that the loss ha carried in the city budget and paid for by taxes,
 Public hearings will be held by the transit commission on Unter- myer s'report Aftm that it will go 10 the board of estimates, and if ap. proved notice will be served on the E. NJ T, of the city's intention to recapture and on the I. R. T. of the city's intention to purchase that system.
