Geraniuins Poison
japanese Beetles
Found That Insects Are At
tracted to Plant and
Are Paralyzed.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
An insect poison that seems to need
the aid of the sun to develop its best
effects has been observed in connec-
ton with the campaign against the
destructive Japanese beetle, now being
waged in New Jersey by the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
has been known for some time that
geraniol, an oil which occurs in ger
aniums and some other plants. is very
effective in attracting the beetles, and
this bait or attrahent has been used
to concentrate beetles on a single tree
where they can be killed by poison.
Feed on Geraniums.
1t has also been known that the
beetles feed on geraniums, and that
such feeding is often followed by par
alysis or death. Articles suggested
that geraniums could be used for con-
trolling beetles have frequently ap-
peared in newspapers in the districts
infested by the pest.
The effects of geraniums on the Jap
anese beetle were studied by Charles
III. Ballou, of the bureau of ento-
mology, during the past summer. He
found that the insects are drawn to
the plant and eat it. both flowers and
foliage. Many of the beetles are par
alyZed and fall beneath the geranium
plants. In the ordinary course of
events some of the beetles recover and
others die. But in making observa-
lions of the effect of geranium poi
soning, Mr.. Ballou observed that if
beetles fed on geraniums in the sun
many more were paralyzed than when
they fed on geraniums in the shade.
Flowers More Poisonous.
He also found that the flowers of
the geranium were somewhat more
poisonous than the foliage of the
plant, although either would cause the
death of considerable proportion of
the beetles feeding. One of the most
interesting facts discovered was that
"a hours after death by geranium poi
sOning the entire digestive system of
the beetle was destroyed.
Because of the poisonous effect of
geraniums on the beetles Mr.. Ballou
suggests that thorough study of the
chemical nature of the plant might
lead to the discovery of a new and
troll of the beetles at present.

When Silage Spells

Silage may spoil sometimes in con
crete silos because the wall is porous,
and therefore neither alright nor
waterproof. The best way TO render IT
nonporous is to puddle the concrete
during construction next to the in
side wall with fiat spade. The spoiled
silage at the juncture Of the stave
silo with it's concrete foundation is
due neither to the concrete nor to the
wood, but either to a poor ledge, or
the fact that the joint is not alright

From the standpoint of cleanliness
and disease prevention, it is an excel

Barley is a cheap feed and is often

PORTRAIT WITH LIPSTICkS
LATEST PARTISAN CRAZE
Woman Calls Bluff of Artist and
Now Makeup Kit Has
Found New Use.

Paris.-A casual remark deliv-
cred in a lecture at his studio in
the Pare Monceau section by Kees
Van Dongen has led to the latest
craze OF the mondaines-the lip
stick portrait.
Van DOngen, fashionable painter
OF smart women, was talking to 40
of them on "Masters Of Makeup"
when the audacity and determina-
tion Of one Of his audience in call
ing his bluffs led TO the first of the
new pastels.
"WOmen are so lovely now.
They know so well how to empha-
size their charms and can conceal
their defects" said the painter.
"They paint and powder SO clev-
erly that I often dream of paint
ing portraits with the contents of
a vanity bag. It is an art for wom-
en- to make up. Although I am a
painter | envy them. A woman
must have the skill of a Raphael to
put just the right shade and just
the right amount of rouge on her
cheeks; she must have the mastery
of a Murillo to color her eyelids
blue-the blue that gives the sweet
ness and melancholy Of a lovesick
dove"
This eulogy proved too much for
one of the audience. She rose
and held out her vanity case.
Dear Nj. Van DOngen, you are
always teasing us poor women, so
it is our turn to tease you a little, .
she said. "Why not make a pOr-
trait from a vanity case now?
have always coveted a portrait Of
myself painted BY you, but | cannot
afford to pay several thousand
pounds for it. Paints and canvas
are expensive. | offer you my lip
stick, my eyebrow pencil and my
rouge and powder free of charge
if you will make my dream come
true. Please tell me that you are
not joking, oh please do"
There was an Outburst of APP
plause. Woman after woman rose
and held out her vanity case.
The painted surrendered. He
made the first lipstick portrait. And
now all the society women, as well
as the actresses of this city, are
besieging him for portraits of them
selves done in their own lipsticks.

SUBJECT OF Three NATIONS
BECOMES CITIZEN Of U. S.
Didn't Know Which Flag Of the
Three European Countries
to Renounce.

New Orleans. La.-United States
District court officials were startled
during an alien naturalization ses-
sion when one of the applicants for
American citizenship did not know
his nationality. He could qaulify
for civic rights in three European
countries and didn't know which
flag to abandon.
"What nation are you renounc-
ing allegiance to-" Judge Wayne
Borah questioned in a tone of rou-
tine.
81 don't know" replied Isador
Reisfeld, sometime domiciled with
in the territorial limits Of Austria,
Turkey and Italy. Questions result
ed in Reisfeld's being admitted as
a citizen of Italy.
''The funny thing about the mat
ter is that l am no more an italian
than any of you" the applicant told
court attaches after receiving his
papers.
Il was born of Austrian parents
and proved allegiance to that coun-
try when the World war broke out"
Reisfeld said. 'The place of my
birth, however, was ConstantinOple,
Turkey, so I was also a subject of
the Ottoman empire. That would
not have been so complicated only
the contortiOns ard changes Of the
maps in territorial readjustments
following the war brought my Aus
trian home under Italian dOmina-
tion, SO / may be termed an Ital-
ian as we'll"
Severing his relations with Aus
tria in 1923, Reisfeld came to Amer
lea on a Turkish passport. The
ship on which he crossed the Allan
tic arrived one day too late to get
her passengers within the immigra-
tion quota Of that country, SO the
man was allowed to enter as an
italian.
Reisfeld is a graduate of the Uni
versity Of Vienna, speaks French,
German, Turkish, Spanish, Greek,
Russian and Italian, and since COM
ing to America has been in every
state except that of matrimony.

HIGHWAY AT ST. GEORGES
Fill is Now Being Made from the
Northern End Of Canal Bridge

The frequent rains Of the past
SO days have handicapped the
State highway Department consid-
erably in the construction of the
new State highway from St. Georg-
es to State Road. In fact, it has
been estimated that more than half
of the working days during the
past two months have not been fit
to do the preliminary work neces-
sary. Town officials of st. Georges
We're required, several days ago, to
prohibit trucks Of the State high
way department from using the
main highway through town be-
cause of the fact that the red clay
which was being hauled from the
mill above Samuel Testers garage
was putting the streets in bad
shape. The red clay fell from the
trucks On each trip and within a
short time the concrete road would
be covered with several inches of
fine dust. Then when it would rain
the red clay would run over the en-
tire surface of the road and would,
later be tracked to the sidewalks
and into stores and residences. At
ter the matter was put up to the
officials of the highway department,
orders We're given for the trucks to
use the back street in St. Georges
which eliminates the necessity Of
their using the main street. At
the present time the fill is being
made from the northern end Of the
st. Georges canal bridge across the
marsh to the back street where the
new road is to be constructed. A
number Of other small jobs have
been completed along the route Of
the road from St. Georges to State
Road

Everlasting Punishment" was

Text: "The Lord preserveth the
strangers; he relieveth the father
less and the widow: but the way
of the wicked he tu1neth upside

the citations which comprised the
Lesson Sermon was the following
from the Bible: "Oh, let the wick
edness of the wicked come to IN
end; but establish the just: for the
righteous God trieth the hearts
and reins" Psalms &:9). The Les
son-Sermon also included the fol
lowing passages from the Christ
ian Science textbook, "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptur-
es'', by Mary Baker Eddy. "Di-
vine Science reveals the necessity
of sufficient suffering, either before
or after death, to quench the love
of sin. To remit the penalty due
for sin, would be for Truth to par
don error. Escape from punish
ment is not in accord with Gods
government, since justice is the
handmade of mercy" (P.36).

MODERN UNIT OF EDUCATION
Talk of Using MacdonOugh School
as Place to Try Latest Methods

as Place to Try Latest Methods
Delaware's proposed demonstra-
ton school, Incorporating new prin-
ciples and processes in education
was discussed Friday afternoon in
the chambers of Judge Hugh NJ.
Morris, Federal Court, BY the Del
aware State Board of Education
and committee of the Delaware
Citizens Association, of which
Judge Morris is chairman. The
discussion deals largely with the
actual operation Of such a school
and the possible location. There
is some talk about conducting the
demonstration school in the Mac
donough school at st. Georges, since
that building, built BY p. S. dupont
is considered a model school build
ing. Whether the school board and
the committee decide upon the Mac
donough school or some other dis
trict, it is definitely understood that
a modern school building will have
to be used. It is hoped that the
demonstration school will be start
ed next September. The cost will
be borne BY the Delaware Citizens
Association which has included the
project in its budget Of 100000
year which fund also takes care Of
the Parent-Teacher Association
project and university extension
work. The Delaware Citizens AS
sociation Committee consists Of
Judge Morris, Fl. Fletcher Brown,
Harry L. Cannon, Of Bridgeville,
and Burton r. Fowler, headmaster
of Tower Hill School. III 4 reso-
luton adopted recently, the State
Board Of Education welcomed the
idea of a demonstration school in
this State, az advocated BY the Del
aware Citizens Association and
rendered its cooperation to further
the plan in every practicable way.
The plan for the proposed school
states that the project will continue
t'for a period not exceeding five
years, without expense to the State
or any school district, and will have
a director, seven teacheds, one for
kindergarten, and one for each
grade from the first to the sixth
inclusive, especially trained and
equipped in the most improved
methods and practices in teaching
for a school to be located at a place
to be agreed upon, that may BE vis-
tied by the teachers Of the State,
to the end that all the teachers of
the State may from time to time
observe in actual practice, become
conversant with, and apply 50 far
as practicable, the more recently
developed methods Of teaching and
the newer conceptions Of child de-
velopment."
