said to reporters.
Several seconds later the line OF
workers turned into Flushing Avenue
again in spite of attempts by the
police to stop them.
Forget Distributors.
Meanwhile a large group of sailors
and workers were watching from the
entrance to the Navy Yard. And the
distribution of leaflets continued.
Suddenly several automobiles with
additional reserves appeared. The re-
serves consisted mainly of plain
clothes men, under Capt. George F.
Bishop of the 18th detective division,
and several patrolmen.
Use Clubs.
When the demonstrators were
directly opposite the entrance of the
Yard the police and detectives charged
the line. Workers were dubbed and
signs were torn. Mounted police
rode on the sidewalk to drive the
workers along Flushing Avenue into
Carlton Street. The police followed,
continuing their clubbing.
Reform Line.
Half way down the block the lines
reformed. Banners up" a young
worker shouted, the workers march

and the Navy Yard. The police wait.
ing several PAGES away, charged the
line once more, using their clubs
freely. The workers retreated several
feet but more returned. This time
the police charged with redoubled
violence, using their nightsticks to
the maximum. The lines finally
broken, the pickets retreated to Park
Avenue, many taking refuge from the
police clubs in stores, street cars and
vestibules.
Many Banners.
A banner reading, "Ex Service Men
Greet the Marines who Joined SANDING
in his Fight Against Wall Street
Forces" headed the line of pickets.
1t was carried by a group of former
soldiers who are members of the
Young Workers League. Other BAN
ners read: Don't Fight for Wall
Street Interests in Nicaragua; "Sup-
port SANDING, He Fights Wall Street.;

AS soon as the authorities in charge
of the Navy Yard were informed of
the demonstration they ordered Capt.
John Tige in charge of the special
Navy Yard Police to mobilize his for

Moncada May Be New Tool.

Adolfo Diaz, marine-supported
president of Nicaragua, and tool of
the financial interests, is the darling
Of Wall Street and the State Depart
ment no more, according to despatch
es from the NicarSguan capital. Dec
laring that he is being deliberately
stripped of all authority and becom-
ing but rubber stamp, Diaz is said
to be about to tender his resignation.
Diaz's action follows his political
reverses in the Nicaraguan Chamber
of Deputies which has approved
amendments that would weaken the
administration bill for controlling
the coming elections.
Another Judas.
Diaz's successor in the State De-
partment's favor is reported to be
General Jose Maria Moncada, the
former leader of the victorious Mica
raguah liberal armies who sold out
to Col. Henry L. Stimson when he
demanded the immediate disarma-
ment Of the liberal forces.
Moncada recently paid friendly
visit to the United States officials
in Washington. Shortly afterwards
he was chosen to deal with the strik-
ing stevedores who tied up the harbor
of Corinto in general strike called
in sympathy with the struggle of
General SANDING against the Amer
lean invaders. The strike was broken
by the landing of bluejaekets from

In the Philippines and other tropical countries

II Many great cities filter their water
~ supplies through sand. The water,
" after settling in basins provided for
~ the purpose, is run through three feet
of sand and, as delivered to consum.
ers, is supposed to be absolutely pure
Unfortunately, the filter beds of sand
may be propagating grounds for multi
tudes of nematodes, and every glass of
water drunk by the citizen has passed through
myriads of them. To prove the fact is easy.
If rag be tied, bag fashion, to faucet over
night some of the worms will be found in it
in the morning.
They are harmless; nevertheless, the idea is
not agreeable. In the top layer Of one of the
sand filter beds in Washington, DR.. Cobb found
the nematodes in such numbers as to represent
hundreds of millions per acre.
As already said nematodes do great damage
to the crops. Most destructive of them all is the
"gallworm," very tiny Species only one-twen-
tieth of an inch long. By forming gals on the
roots Of cultivated plants it reduces crop yields
enormously. 1t levies huge tax on every kind

rapidly in the potato field, and after
while there many of them that
the potato plants can no longer pros
per. The potato plants are obliged to
move. So the farmer uses another field
for growing potatoes, and where the
potatoes were he sows beans.
The nematode enemies Of the potato
do not care for beans and die out for lack Of the
food they require. So the beans thrive until
after WHILE their own nematode foes have a
chance to multiply and become too many for
them, SO to speak. Then the beans must move
Whereupon the farmer can grow potatoes again
on that same area and get good crop. Thus
the reason behind the practice of rotation Of
crops is now for the first time explained.
The eggs of all nematodes, whether big or little
species, are microscopic, comparable in size to
spores of fungi or the larger bacteria. They
float about in the air; they may be seen as mites
in the sunbeam; they present in incalculabe
numbers everywhere The dust in our houses is
full of them. They may be dried for indefinite
years and yet preserve their vitality, Matching out
young when mostened.
There is kind of nematode which makes
grasshoppers its special prey Armed with a
spear, it bores its way into the insect until,
finally reaching the body cavity, it coils itself.
