NEW YORK, Oct 26.-The Hot Stove League season is bound to be a success if for no other req son than that Walter Johnson is returning to the Washington ball club with which he played for 21 years.
 Speculation over what the Big Train will do at his old home should help paclfy fandom during the long period between seasons. The club itself has set a good ex- ample for the great idol of base ball so far as action is concerned. It lost one manager and picked up another within ten days time.
 But few if any spectacular moves appear ahead for Washington. Most of the changes will be within the club. Clark Griffith, president of the Senators. already has gathered in a big collection of fresh ma terial.

HISTORIC TREE

 NATIONS UNITY
States and Territories to Unite in Planting for,
 Friendship Grove

A few small orse-chestnuts will be the symbol of unity which binds all the States and Territor- ies and possessions of the United States and a symbol of friendship between the United States and foreign nations.
 Ordinary chestnuts would not do it, but these from the famous Washington Friendship Tree now standing at Bath, Penn., with it's history Of the comradeship of three great American patriots, will sure ly promote unity and friendship, according to Miss Barbara Bayne, Tree Historian of America, Ingle- wood, Calf.
 Gov George A. Parks has been advised that 13 of these chestnuts have been mailed to him and an equal number to the Governors of all American states and territories. These will be planted with suit able ceremonies as Americas Friendship Grove. The Governor is asked to plant them in the Gapi- tol grounds here on Arbor Day.
 The history of the famous tree is unique. On October 13. 1875, Gen. Light Horse Harry" Lee pre- scented Washington with 12 horse chestnut saplings as a friendship gift. Washington planted four of them by the serpentine walk at his Mount Vernon Home. Two of the others he presented to Gen. Robert Brown, his guest, also a friendship gift.
 General Brown carried the ten- der young saplings on horseback over the mountains and into Penn sylvania, where they were planted at his home near Bath. But only one survived, and has become

finally other sections OF the state
will become infested, and the spread

those who have seen its ravages
north of the Pennsylvania line and
in New Jersey it is Incompetent
sible that anyone should so jeopar-
die the welfare of the State.
It is denied at the Quarantine
headquarters that New Castle hau
been picked out specially as the
prey of the beetle. They have not
Increased there any more than III
other years. Their numbers are
practically the same at the present
time. .,.o4
The report from Harbeson that
Japanese beetles had appeared III
large numbers in the fields devoted
to bean culture was found to be IN
correct. The beetles at work there
are the Mexican variety that prey
only on beans. Efforts are being
made to stamp out this pest by
burning fields in which they are
found.
A great uduy pO4oOhS pAA
cides have been tested out on the
beetles, and from the results OF TINS
work, it has been observed that the
common insecticides repel rather
than actually kill the Japanese bee
tie. A solution of acid lead arsen-
ate, -four and water has been found
the most effective as protection. ,
While a certain number of the bee
ties feeding on such poisoned foil |
age have been killed, the majority |
are simply repealed, and the beetles |
leave for other foliage that is not |
so treated.
For protecting various shade
trees, such as elms, lindens, sassa-
fras and horse chestnut, and orna-
mental shrubs, including roses,
althea (rose of Sharon) and others,
use three pounds of lead arsenate
and two pounds of flour to fifty gal
Ions of water. Where only a few
shrubs are to be sprayed and small
amounts of the solution are to be
used, the amount of material per
gallon should be about three table
spoonfuls of powdered arsenate OF
lead and two tablespoonful of flour.

HOW SHOULD 1900 O'CLOCK

According to the U. S. Naval OBJ
servatory, 1900 NJ. is almost uni

clock noon. IN" in this connection
is an abbreviation of Meridian"
which is derived from the Latin
"meridies," meaning midday. Mid
night is properly designated 1900
P. M. Post Meridian). Frequently
one sees 1900 N. (Noon) and 1900
NJ. (Midnight), but these abbrevia-
tions are confusing and should not
be used. Because of the difference in
usage some writer's dispense with
the authorizations entirely in desig-
mating noon and midnight and write

pectively.-The Pathfinder.
