w. H. Jurnee, assistant state at
torney general, has ruled that a
girl who wears boomers can not
be called indecent.
The attorney was asked to rule
on whether girl can be put off a
dance floor for indecency if her
boomers show below her skirt. The
question was presented by James
T. Spillane, city attorney of Ro-
chester, MINI.
Jurnee said it was question of
fact rather than of law but he
doubted very much that a girl who
wears boomers could be called in
decent"

Kill Potato Bug
by Using Poison
Calcium Arsenate Is Effec-
tive and Cheapest Mate
rial on Market.

Calcium arsenate is the most eco
nomical and effective poison one can
use TO control the Colorado potato
beetle or potato bug, as the pest is
commonly known.
Either Dust or Spray.
calcium arSenate may be used
either as dust or spray and in either
case is effective" says q. IL. Brannon,
extension entomologist at the Moth
Carolina State college. when this
poison is used, no other is needed. as
calcium arSenate is absolutely effec-
tive and is the cheapest material that
can be used. The applications should
start as soon as the beetles appear
in numbers and should be continued
Just as often as they become nu-
nervous"
TO apply the calcium arsenate, Mr..
BrannOn recommends the regular hand
busters used with cotton in the control
of the boil weevil. These have given
excellent results in tests made at the
college. The plants need to be well
covered. There is little danger from
burning, but too much poison should
not be used because of the waste.
Using as Spray.
If one prefers to use the arsenate
as a spray, large amounts may be pre-
pared by using two pounds to 90 gal
Ions of water. Where only small
amounts are wanted for the home
irish potato patch, ten tabIespOOnfuIs
to three gallons of water is the proper
proportion. Growers should keep in
mind, however, that this application OF
calcium arsenate is for control of the
beetles alone and will have no effect
in controlling plant diseases.
If the potato bugs are left without
mOlestatiOn, they can destroy the po-
tato plants in short time. Growers
who have tried calcium arsenate say
that it has given excellent results.

table after the tolls Of an unusually
busy evening.
The landlord and landlady were not
inclined to any uneasiness or alarm.
During our forty-eight hours stay
they had discovered that Mr.. Mazaroff
was, as they put it, an affable and
friendly gentleman, inclined to socia-
.bility-their present opinion was that
he had dropped in at one of the moor
land houses, and was still there, COM
fortably chatting. But when twelve
o'clock sounded, and he was still alb
sent, Musgraves face heightened, and
he began to talk about the foolishness
of going out in the dusk and dark in
strange places. There's places he

moor and dispersed IN different direc-
tons, listening always for any cry Of
distress.
We were out in that way until q
faint gray light began to show beyond
the eastern hills: at that we went
back to the inn. None of us had

Highly Concentrated
Fertilizer Mixtures

There has been much discussion of
late concerning very highly concen-
trated fertilizer combinations, and the
economics of them have been stressed.
There is nothing especially new in the
idea of greater concentration Certain
of these products have keen on the
market for years, and limited tom
mage has been distributed, more par
ticularly to high freight overseas desz
tinations. Generally speaking, these
materials have cost more to produce
at plants, and unless out freight were
high there has been no advantage in
their purchase. Triple superphosphate
containing 45 to 4S per cent available
phosphate has been made in Belgium
for years, yet the Belgian farmer has
used little of it. Potassium nitrate
was used as a fertilizer seventy-tive
years ago. Basic patents on the prep
aration of ammonium phosphate ex-
pire this year; this article has been
on the market for years.

Agricultural Hints
+ +


Oil is cheaper than bearings and
other farm implement parts.
To save cutting glass to fit, use
standard sized windows in all farm
buildings.
One way to reduce the cost per
bushel Of corn is to produce more corn
to the acre. 1t pays.
Planting twenty rows of corn in the
poultry yard furnishes shade for
chicks besides yielding well in the
fall.
An attractive farm sign lends dig
nifty to the farm entrance, displays
the farm name, and advertises farm
produce to passersby.
A bred-to-lay hen weighing four
pounds will change from seventy-five
to eighty pounds of feed into twenty
five to thirty pounds of eggs in a
years time.
Threshing wheat early protects the
grain from ravages of the Angoumos
grain moth. Farmers who follow this
practice increase the profits from
their crop.
Squash are not ordinarily given the
place and attention which they de-
serve If you are growing squash or
pumpkins this season, save the mature
ones for storing.
When planting forest trees, test the
planting job by Juggling at the tree
lightly. If the tree remains firmly
rooted. it is well planted, if it loosens,
it is poorly planted.
Rape makes good temporary pas
ture for finishing the market lamb.
An acre requires only four to six
pounds of seed and the pasture will
carry 20 lambs for six weeks.
If nests are too large eggs may be
broken by two or more hens crowding
into them. Twelve by fourteen inches
is suggested for the larger breeds,
and ten by twelve inches for the
smaller breeds.

Poison Necessary to
Control Flea Beetle

Flea beetles are often very troubles
some on potato tops. There are said
TO be dozen species of these beetles,
ed as one common pest. Bordeaux
mixture used literally if often recon-
mended as a deterrent, and apparent
ly is to some extent, but will not con-
troll the swarms around now. Poison
is necessary, one and half pounds
powdered lead arsenate to 90 gallons
of bordeaux. For busting, poison
mixed with dry lime will be useful,
though not so effective as when the
liquid is properly applied, which
means a spray covering underside as
well as tops of leaves.

Two Water Streets
Call for Remaining

To the Ed1tor OF Inc STAR
We have in Washington two proni-
nent streets of the same name, Water
street. This should not continue, as it
always causes confusion, especially to
strangers visiting here.
Water street in old Georgetown no
doubt is the Oldest street in the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
Water street southwest is as old as
the City of Washington; older, in fact,
for it appears on the first map for the
city, and that was before Washington
was born.
We have in the District avenues
named for each of the States, except
California. Water street southwest
lies along the river front, much
the shape of the State of California,
as it fronts on the Pacific Ocean. This
street Is soon to be made one Of the
show streets Of the city by the expendi-
ture Of large sums of money.
I suggest it be renamed California
avenue. The State, am sure, would be
gestive humor, I further suggest that
the new avenue to be constructed from
Pennsylvania avenue near the Peace
Monument to the Union Station be
named Ohio avenue. This will be short
avenue, but, oh my, over no pavements
of any city in the world will there roll
more splendid equipment carrying the
most honored people from all lands. All
the avenues of the world will lead up
to Ohio avenue. The citizens of the
State as they enter their Capital City
will feel q great thrill of pride as they
roll or walk over the pavement Of the
avenue named in honor of their State.
This will complete the naming of ave-
nues for the States and for Alaska.

as the earth to be removed is required
to MI around the reptile house, which
will be constructed at the same time.
Mr.. Holaday-This is to take care Of
your owl proposition?
Dr. Mann-We had to take down the
old eagle cage to make room for the
reptile house and this money will cover
the cost of a new eagle cage and do
necessary grading around the new bird
house. We also plan to build cages for
our owl collection in this area.
