Columbia has another great hitter
who is following the footsteps of his
daddy as a golfer who knocks the ball
about as far into the great open spaces
as it is humanity possible to knock It.:
The golfer is Everett Eynon, son OF
E. B. Eynon, jr.. secretary Of the Wash
ington ball club, and himself a great
hitter. For many years Ed" Eynon
was known as one Of the longest hit
tiers of q golf ball around the Capital,
and now it appears his son is to follow
in his footsteps.
Everett Eynon. who used to be a
roommate of Roland Mackenzie at
Brown University, played with the
walker Cup team star last Sunday at
Columbia and outdistanced the long
hitting Mackenzie on IL of the IA holes
where q lengthy tee shot is needed.
Perhaps Roland was attempting to
knock them straight down the middle,
but usually he combines extreme dis
lance with considerable accuracy.
In any event, he was outranged from
the tee on q majority Of the holes by
the young scion Of the Eynon family.
Everett's longest wallop came on the
eighteenth, where he planted $50

Lamplight

It is a dark and stormy night, and
now the blamed electric light goes out
--confound such tricks! Around the
house tired father tramps and digs up
sundry ancient lamps and greasy can
dlesticks. They give dim, religious
glow, and half yard away, or so,
it's possible to read; but all the lamps
and candles smoke, and as we read we
gasp and choke, and say harsh things.
indeed Our eyes grow watery and
sore; tired father opens wide the door,
to let some fresh air in; then all the
sickly lights go out and people hear
tired father shout and raise a dread
full din. He burns his fingers on a
lamp, and We behold him paw and
stamp. in fury fierce and dire; candle
spills some redhot grease upon him
and he yells, "Policei" and also
"Tflieves!" and "Fire!" But presently

a long. long time after Billy's visit.
Farmer Browns Boy went on about
MS work. And then, glancing over his
shoulder, he again saw a movement.
He stood stock still Something was
coming out from under the hay. To
himself he was saying, MY gracious,
that's the biggest rat I ever saw He
must be the great-grandfather of them
ALL"
And then Farmer Browns Boy nearly
dropped the measure of oats he held
in his hand. He wanted to rub his
eyes to be sure that he was seeing what
he seemed to see. IF that isn't Peter
Rabbit, then I don't know Peter when

Boy. But how can it be Peter here
In the barn? How could he get in?
And why would he come in, even if he
could get in? 1t can't be Peter. No.

how can a thing be when it can't be?"
| It was Peter. OF course, 1t was Peter.
| He had come out from under the hay
where he had been taking a nap, and
being once more hungry, he had made
straight for the carrots. Now he has
quietly sitting there eating a carrot.
Farmer Browns Boy moved. Instantly
| Peter scurried back under the hay.
Farmer Browns Boy once more stood
perfectly still. He didn't move so much
as a finger. In few minutes he saw
Peters wabbly little nose poking out
from under the hay. Peter sat there
for a moment or two. Then he came
wholly out and hoped over to those
carrots again But the moment Farm
er Browns Boy moved he scurried
back under the hay.

said Farmer Browns Boy. You must
have been very, very, very hungry to
venture up here. I wonder how you
would like some oats? Those ought to
be change and be good for you"
So Farmer Browns Boy went over to
the oat bin and scooped out a couple
OF handfuls of oats These he put in
little pile on the floor, about two feet
in front of the place where Peter had
disappeared under the hay Then once
more he stood perfectly still He didn't
have to wait long, When Peter poked
his head out from under the hay. his
wabbly little nose was wabbling as only
1t can wabble. He smelled these oats.
He hoped over to them and reaching
out took a mouthful Then he hitched
little nearer and Squatting down he
made a business-a happy business
OF eating oats. You know, Rabbits are
fond OF oats. My, how those little Jaws
OF his did work! They were a treat
a very great treet. 1t was long time
since he had tasted any oats He quite
forgot that he was in Farmer Browns
barn and that Farmer Browns Boy
was anywhere about.
Meanwhile, Farmer Browns Bow was
still puzzling over how Peter had en-
tered the barn. He must have come in
some time when the door was left
open, thought Farmer Browns Boz.

Proper Vignettes Required

THE appetite stimulating vgnettes on the
fronts of cans Of mixed vegetables and
mixed fruits are sometimes more stimulating
than the contents Of the can, experts Of the
Food Drug and InSecticide Administration have
found in investigations Of this growing COM
modify. By far the greater part of the output
is true to label, but here and there cases have
been found where the vegetables pictured were
not all present or present in sufficient quantity
to warrant their inclusion in vignette. In
other cases vegetables that were present in
large quantity were not illustrated. Some
times the cans carry lists of vegetables, al
though this IS not necessary where vgnette
adorns the can, but such lists must be COM
plete and truthful, the administration warns.
At other times cases have been found where
the vegetables were pictured as If canned In
the succulent stage, when some of them were
soaked dried vegetables.
In the great majority Of cases the officials
have found that the lists and vignettes have
been strictly truthful. What holds true for
the vegetables also holds true for the mixed
fruit.

Fighting the Boil Worm

burning lights to trap the moths, and leaving
pans of poisoned sweets in the fields. The
trapping which was undertaken was all right
so far as the basic idea Of trapping was con-
cerned, but the trappers were as far of in
technique as trout fisherman armed with a
pickerel hook and bacon rind
Mr.. Bishop declares that the proper method
is to raise what the worms like, corn, and let
nature take its course.
It was found that If the trap corn was
planted late enough, so that it would be in
silk at about the time the field corn becomes
hard, the moths of the boil worm would fly
eagerly to the new corn, coming from long
distances and would deposit their eggs on the
plants These eggs would hatch in great num-
Der, but the larvae, being cannibals, would
devour each other until only very few sur
vivors were left.
However, trap-crop methods are not the only
ones by which the insect can be kept down.
Just as effective is the system of blowing
The boil worm spends the Winter in retirement
in the pupal stage about six inches below the
ground Flowing after cold weather arrives
breaks up the cells and cold and moisture do
the rest.
Poisoning can be resorted to for only short
period, but during that period the poisoning
also contains little blow on the side against
the boil weevil. A bran bait in which arseni-
Gals are introduced will do the trick.

UXXoNT you step into my parlor?" said the

The circumstances are different In the two
cases, perhaps but the strategy is the same
This enemy Of the cotton fields, which is just
as widely and Just as unfavorably known as
the corn ear worm, the tomato fruit worm
and the false bud worm Of tobacco, can be
largely controlled through trickery, so far as
the cotton raisers are concerned, and the can
nibalistic nature Of the worm.
The cotton boil worm, which bears other
names because of the fact that 1t IS general
feeder and is named in different localities after
the particular crops upon which it feeds, Is
not to be confused with the pink boil worm,
for the two are quite different.
1t Is probably more widely known as the
corn ear worm and has come in for much
unfriendly comment from many a housewife,
who has noted the unappetizing appearance of
the ends Of ears of corn wherein it has taken
up its domicile.

an effort to prevent as much as possible OF the

He found that numerous useless measures

Training of Marine Corps pilots varies slight
ly from that of the other services. Preliminary
training is given at Pensacola, where the pilots
take the Naval Aviation School course. This
includes flying Of both land and sea planes, as
we'll as large flying boats multi-engined. The
new pilots are then sent to one Of the Marine
Corps fields and given general training up to
about 1926 hours. Though they are listed as
pilots before that time, they are not considered
full-hedged pilots nor given assignments as
such. After 500 hours and two years expe-
rience the Marine pilot is considered ready for
any kind Of work-from the most intricate
pursuit work to dangerous bandt-hunting ex-
petitions.
The fine reputation Of the Flying Devildogs
and their growing fame has begun to act as q
boomerang in one way. The group OF 100
skilled pilots has begun to dwindle under the
pressure of fine offers from the commercial
world.
But to most the lure of adventure is too
strong. The thrill Of bandit chase, breath
less speed contest, fast duel above the clouds
all have had their effect, and few Of those
who have SO served can willingly say farewell
to the Flying Devildogs.

Seciudling the Public

A S long as there are people who will hang
4 a nutmegs around their necks by satin rib
bons to cure neuralgia, the Department of
Agriculture finds 1t necessary to step out with
q warning now and then against fake medi-
cines, insecticides and so on.
In the latest list of products offered gullible
public is a cute little case containing chemicals
which, when merely hung in a room, will drive
away moths, ants, reaches, flies and mosquitoes
and at the same time disinfect the room, purify
the air and prevent disease. Although 1t was
not claimed for the product, it no doubt could
be used to polish the silver, wash the clothes
and wax the floor
Another product which can be used with
great profit, that is profit for the manufac-
turer for he produces 1t at Is cents a gallon
and sells it at $64, is to be taken internally to
rid stock Of various pests. This magic sub
stance when mixed with the food or drinking
water Of poultry, cattle, pigs, sheep and what
ever stock you raise proves certain repellent
to lice, mites, ticks, f1eas or other unwelcome
guests on the stock. This, needless to say, &C
complishes about as much toward Kidding the
stock of the parasites as good drink OF water
would.
If you find the job of spraying your trees
and shrubbery, to keep down various fungi and
insect enemies, irksome remedies are offered
you which will soon obv1ate all your laborS.
Simply place the liquid, powder or capsule Of
your choice in holes made in the bark of the
tree or shrub. The sap, so the advertisement
tells you, takes up the medicant and carries it
to all parts Of the tree, Kidding 1t Of its foes.
This is very likely to save you the effort Of
spraying in the future, for the trees will prob
ably die Of their natural enemies while you
bask in the false security Of the vaccination
you gave them.
The department finds many insecticides,
fungicides end disinfectants to which it gives
its approval. It is only against fake and trick
products which claim to do the impossible,
that 1t directs its fire.

Preparing Chromium Ores

In order to prepare for emergencies bringing
high prices, American smelters are seeking an
economical method of producing chronic oxides.
The demand for chromium plating and for
chrome Steels has been such that the use Of
lower-grade ores might become essential in case
of serious shortages
The present method Of obtaining the metal
consists Of roasting a mixture of ore with lime
and soda ash.
