live in the soil, such treatments
for gardens and cultivated
fields are too costly and are not
to be generally recommended.
Heavy application and very
careful treatment to assure I'm.
form distribution are absolut-
ely essential for effective con-
troll. The Carbon Disulphite E.
mulsion must be applied at the
rale of at least one quart per
square foot of turf when the
soil is moist and three and one
half pounds of Arsenate of
Lead Dust per 100 square feet
must be evenly appliea ana

1t should be noted that these
insecticides are recommended
for killing Japanese beetle
grubs in lawns where they
cause serious damage by feed
ing on the roots. Fortunately,
the japanese Beetle has as yet
done no damage in Virginia.
Only a few adults of these beet
les nave been found here, ano
it occurs. so far as is known,
only in Arlington County, and
in the City OF Alexandria. The
European Corn Borer is another
pest which has not reached this
State. Soil treatment with in
Secticides are not recommended
for this pest where it does &C.

/ Now to go back to the Mexi-
can Beetle. This insect never
lives in the soil; ddring the win
| ter months the adult beetles
hide in the woods under leaves,
brush, loose bark and in other
similar places which afford
suitable protection. It is evil
dent, therefore, that treating
the soil cannot possibly kill
this pest nor affect its feeding
IN plants growing in treated
soil. The only method known
which will control this pest is
0 spray or dust the foliage.
Information available indi-
Gates that it is waste of val
liable time and money to at
tempt to control insect pests in
the garden or in cultivated
fields by the application of chem
icals to the soil. There are a few
diseaaes which are controlled
by soil treatment, but anyone
insect pests and several plant

should first obtain reliable in
formation on the subject be-
fore investing in or selling any
product for soil treatment and

those who read this artisle will
spread the warning throughout
their community and thus dis

sale of any insecticide being

Preserving Music of
Pacific Coast Indians

Every day the halls of the anthro-
pology department of the University
of California ring out with the low,
plaintive music of the Indian tribes of
the Pacific coast. One unacquainted
with the proceedings might be led to
think that war dance was in prog
gress, but the fact Is that for many
years the university management has
been engaged In collecting phOnO-
graphic records on which are pre-
served the old-time songs and dance

the Pacific slope They have succeed
ed in recording some gems For in

RACES BEFORE HISTORY
BEGAN HAD MOTOR CARS
Also Radios and Airplanes, Says
Henry Ford.

Henry Ford believes that civiliza-
lions so ancient that they are not
recorded by any existing history pos
sessed flying machines, automobiles
and all other scientific and mechani-
cal equipment of the present age.
This amazing theory of the auto
mobile magnate is expressed in an
interview with Ralph Waldo Urine,
philosopher and writer, published in
the current issue of McClure's Maya
zine. Ford's views, as taken down
by stenographer, are printed YER
batim.
The Detroit industrialist believes
that highly developed moral sense
is the only attribute of modern man
that has not been possessed by an
cient peoples. He fits this belief into
his recently expressed theory of in
carnation, taking the view that the
moral sense has been evolved through
many reincarnations and is the fac
tor which increases the stability of
each succeeding civilization.
May Visit Planets.
'This globe has been inhabited by
intelligent people millions Of times"
says Ford, "and very ancient people,
believe, were highly developed N
the arts and sciences"
Il believe they had all or most Of
the things which we think are tbs
creations of modern progress, and
some things that we havca't yet
heard Of. | am sure they had the au-
tomobile, the radio, the airpis,ne-
everything we have, CT its equivalent,
and perhaps many things that we
have yet to discover.
But apparently they cid Hut have
a counterbalancing motal develop
ment. They went down with ali 1hcir
otherwise high civilization. Oar own
physical advancement has had a
larger balance Of the moral element
in it, SO that it may be that our civil
ization will last though We
lave long way to go ycse."
Ford also advances some startling
forecasts of what the future may
bring. In the McClure's interview,
he asserts:
Il believe the time will come when
man will even know What is going
on in the other planets, po'har5 he
able to visit them, The miaI is 1rav-
cling faster than it dl!. Ideas circu-
late more freely. W. nave more
mental progress in five years t,lan
we formerly did in a century. The
distribution and reception # new
ideas have been greatly increased"

The Pan-American Conference on
Arbitration and Cancellation held at
Washington recently at which all of
the Pan-American countries were rep
resented, employed a unique but eff
fective communication system where
by the difficult question of languages
was solved.
Each Of the delegates had small
telephone receiver installed at his
desk. This receiver was connected
with an amplifier and microphone sys-
TEN installed by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company SO that
an interpreter, Benjamin Cohen, one
OF the most skillful translators in
Washington, was able to interpret
from English to Spanish for the bene-
fit of the Spanish delegates when an
English speaker was addressing the
conference.
He also translated for the benefit
OF the English speaking people when
a Spanish delegate had the floor. MIR.

Was able to translate rapidly from one
language to another following the
speaker closely and in full detail.
Not alone did he translate the two
languages used at the conference,
but he embellished his translation
with current idioms of the English or
Spanish in the exact words of the
speaker.
Mr.. Cohen, Chilean by birth, was
former secretary of the Chilean lega-
ton. From lengthy experience with
South American affairs he is able to
keep abreast of the latest develop
ments in Latin America. This was
his second important post at an in
ternational conference He served in
a similar capacity, but without the aid
Of the telephones, at the Pan-American
Conference at Havana in 1927. For
this service he was given a vote of
thanks by the Conference on motion
of Charles Evans Hughes, former Sec.
rotary of State.

Wood Cups and Bowls
Once Highly Priced

Wooden trenchers, commonly called
''treen" were in common use during
the Middle ages in Great Britain.
"Masers' or cups and bowls were fire.
Quently mentioned in wills and inven-
tories. The finer specimens belonged
to the richer abbeYs-thus, there was
the Great maser at York, the Judas
cup at Durham, and at st. Saviours.
Southwark, there was 81 maser with a
border and knop of sylver and gilt
which was given to the church war
dens to drink when they mete." These
valuable wooden cups were sometimes
Ornamented BIZ a rim of silver, but
otherwise they were seldom decorated
nv more than few low holdings or
incised lines. Their value and beauty
lay in the granting of the wood, gen
orally maple, and the old turner's chose
the part of the trunk where it divided
off into branches so as to obtain the
speckled birds eye granting. BY Tu-
dor times pewter began to take the
place of tree, though poorer folk con-
tinued to use these wooden trenchers
and bowls till much later, especially
in the north of England and in Scot
land.
The Sahara
The true Sahara is Il great desert
that stretches, ii bare and dead world
of its own, all across Africa. A
strange world it is, for it has noun
taims, valleys and plains like the !iv-
ing world, save that nothing grows
to cover the bare ribs of the earth,
and nothing moves but the great winds,
and now and then the wandering
Arabs.
The desert is of fcur sorts, the rock
desert, the desert of dry salt lake
beds, the desert OF fiat sand tied down
by sage and cactus, and the desert
of the moving Dimes of sand.-Eunice
Tietiens, in Child Life Magazine.
Weather Prophets
Certain creatures anticipate changes
in the weather and indicate Their
foreknowledge by strange actions.
They seem to feel uneasy, and then
take necessary precautions. When
they foresee bad weather, bees go
out very early in the morning, keep
near their hives, return suddenly WIN
partial loads of nectar and become
easily irritated, attacking those who
approach. The garden spider turns
its head toward the interior of It's
hole and strengthens its web with
numerous extra threads.
Ducks raise themselves on their
toes, make great outcry and seem
to he excited. Boosters crow at eve
ming, or Mt other unaccustomed
times Oxen raise their muZHleS into
the air, as ii to sniff the wind, and
then huddle together. The mule APP
pears sad, the marmot whistles, and

stop work and retire to their under

close to the ground and snails come
from their holes.
