visit and imprisonment there. that St

IN connection with the project for
draining the plain of Philippi, the
Greek government also will drain the
territory slightly to the west In the
Struma River valley. Close to the sea
this valley is occupied by Lake
Ahinos, the small remnant Of once
great lake. About 1t are marshy re-
gions. Farther up the valley the en-

constituting some OF the best agricnl-

pleted, Lake Ahinos and its marshes
will have disappeared.

1.-THE reward of $4,000 has aroused
the greed and desire Of men who have

bring them money without too much

Those killed are not the professional
bank robbers at all, and in most cases
have not single qualification for that

hands of officers of1men who were In
his opinion innocent of any attempt at
committing crime is to prevent the

Shrubs GiDe, Beauty
to Garden or Park

Relatively large numbers of shrubs
should be used in nearly all landscape
paintings, whether these are upon,
homeeor public grounds.
Very often there will be ten times
as many shrubs as trees. The imp0r-.
lance of these shrubs is especially
marked upon small home lots,
whether about the farmhouse or in the
crowded city. 1t is essential, there
fore. that every one who undertakes
to develop his own grounds, or who
has any responsibility for public
grounds, shoaId understand the care
of shrubbery.
And since the most serious annual
attention probably lies in the pruning,
special consideration may fairly be
given to this topic.
Shrubs Of most species may be
pruned with excellent results either. in
midsummer or early spring. II the
summer season is chosen the work
should be done soon after the years
growth is completed. and this point
is reached earlier than most persons
suppose. Generally speaking July Is
to 81 may be taken as the most favor
able time for summer pruning.

Business on Golf Course

McComb has in the Golf club a
business asset as we'll as source of
recreation. More and more CONNER
cial deals are being transacted be-
tween friends, for the great value of
warm personal contacts in business
affairs is having increasingly wider
recognition. A large number OF these
connections are made on just such
places as the golf course: Connec-
tions that will add to the pleasure
and competence of commercial trans
actions because of the friendly UNDER
standing enjoyed by buyer and seller.
The well-known and much-talked-of
Tired Business Man can renew, in
these surroundings, the good disposi-
ton that counts so enormously in the

would find that an afternoon or two
of golf every week would be of sur
prising benefit to his every interest

Artistic Walks Make
for Home, Beautiful

Perhaps there Is nothing that lends
more to the appearance of the sur
roundings of home than neat, ar
tistically placed walks and drive
ways. Careful thought given to their
placing and arrangement at the time
they are built will more than repay
the owner In the attractiveress they
will add to the exterior Of the home.
Every lawn offers variety Of pOssi|
bilities in location and arrangement.
Like streets and highways, walks
and driveways must be designed to
meet the needs Of those who use
them. While 1t Is generally desirable
to have them take the most direct
route, pleasing effects can often be
obtained by the use Of graceful
curves. 1t is folly to destroy fine
tree because it happens to be In line
with the route of the walk or drive
way; graceful curve around the
tree does not inconvenience any one
and it will add to the beauty of the
home surroundings. Often such
curves can be arranged SO that the
garage is partially hidden behind q
clump of trees or bushes. In building
such curves provision must be made
for the growth of the tree to prevent
it from raising or cracking the con-
crete. Often it is possible by the
use of colors mixed in the concrete
to give a pleasing tone to the sur
face, and if desired the walk and
driveway cal. be made somewhat dec
orative by marking off the surface
into geometrical patterns which will

Toad to Fight Mosquito

Colorado Springs. COCA cat-eyed,
pug-nosed toad is mans new ally In
the war against mosquitoes.
It is the spadefoot toad of the west
ern plains and his legions are being
m0biIized for movement to mosquito
infested areas in the East.
Studies made by Ralph J. Gilmore,
professor of biology at Colorado col.
lege, revealed that the spadefoot toad.
unlike other frogs, is carnivorous IN
the tadpole stage. The pollwogs prey
on mosquito larvae in shallow pools
and for this reason they are expected
to destroy the insects before they
take wing and molests mankind.

higher animal to attack their larvae

The adult toad is small, being only
two inches long. Its finely-textured
skin is yellowish olive to dark gray
The frog gets its name from the
horny spades. about one-eighth OF an
inch long, on the inner. sides of its
feet. With these spades it burrows
into the ground to a depth Of few
inches to several feet. 1t remains
hidden during the dry seasons, and
reappears after rains.
The pools Of water that dot the
prairies are kept virtually free Of
mosquitoes BY the tadpoles, so much
so that Professor Gilmore says he has
experienced difficulty in obtaining
larvae of the insect for his expert
ments.

Is not a new method. Professor Gil
more says. Fish have been used for
that purpose, but, he points out, they
cannot enter the shallow, stagnant
marshes in which the spadefoot toads,
with life cycle of only forty days,
multiply rapidly.
Environment has forced the tad.
pole to change from the herbivorous
habit Of its ancestors to its peculiar
carnivorous characteristic, Professor
Gilmore believes, because of the
scarcity Of vegetable life in the wa.
tiers Of its habitat, which includes
Arizona, Colorado. Montana. North
Dakota and Idaho. The professor has
found these frogs sparsely distrib-
uted, but abundant in limited areas.
