F-SACRIFICE

Just the other day heard some.
one remark, in talking about the
coming operetta, that they really
were learning what self-sacrifice
meant. l knew that person well
enough to understand her meaning
giving up one petty amusements
couple of weeks, she was being
self-sacrificings
In a small measure she was, but
giving up ones petty amusements
for a couple. of weeks is a very
different proposition, from giving
up really important plan forever,
or at least for long time, in or
der to help someone else along or
make his path easier. 81.
Self-sacrifice is one of the hard
est virtues to fully understand and
it is harder task to practice it.
1t is, moreover, thankless virtue
in most cases and one which nat
urally leads others to consider you
as inferior. Occasionally it is prac-
ticed to the extent that an infer
iority complex does result.
But it is virtue which teaches
you the futility of self-pity, the
wisdom of STANDARDIZATION and the
insignificance of an individual in
this world of big things.
If you can learn to give your
own plans up to help the common
good, to sacrifice your own inter
ests for the more important inter-
ests, right now in your school and
home life, you are laying the foun-
dation for a fine unselfishness,
which, after all, is the principle of
self-sacrifice.

EFFECTIVE MOTH CONTROL
EXPLAINED BY STARCHER

Doyle B. Starcher, district hort
icultural inspector, makes the fol
lowing summary of spray for cod
ling moth control: +" 4
Last season the loss to the ap-
pie industry caused by the cooling
moth exceeded by far that caused
by any other insect pest. Some
crops were not packed but were de-
livered directly to the Gull car,
while in others the loss ranged
from 5 to 80 percent, mostly due
to worm infestation. Due to this
heavy worm infestation, control
measures will have to be very eff
fective if clean crop of apples
is to be harvested this fall.
Effective control of any insect
pest by spraying depends on three
things. First, the spray must be
efficient at the strength used; sec
ond, the spray must be applied at
the time when it will have the
most effect in killing the pest; and
third, the spray must be applied
thoroughly.
For the control of codling moth
the spray material that has been
most generally used has been arse
nate of lead at strengths varying
from A pounds to 10 pounds to
each 200 gallons of water. Prof.
Anthony Spuler, entomologist of
Washington State College, exper-
imenting at Wenatchee, found in
his test that 8 pounds of lead to
100 gallons of water was more eff
ficient than pounds to 100 gal
Ions. .
Summer oil is being used more
each year in the codling moth
spray program. Used in conlbina-
ton with arsenate of lead, it not
only destroys many of the codling
moth eggs that are deposited on
the fruit, but increases the effic-
iency of the arsenate of lead over
longer time. Spuler states that,
3The oil-lead arsenate combina-
tion is more effective after 10
days than lead arsenate alone is
Immediately after spraying" Not
over three sprays containing oil
are recommended. Oil alone as a
control of codling moth has not
proven successful.
The time of application of the
codling moth sprays vary with the
season.
The calyx spray should be ap-
piled after most Of the petals have
fallen and before the calyx lobes
have closed. Unless exceptionally
warm weather follows the falling
of the petals, 8 to 10 days will
elapse before many Of the calyx
cups are closed. This spray is i'm
portant and should not be omitted.
The first cover spray is applied

SENIOR. DAY

Last Wednesday was Senior Day.
Instead of coming in the. regular
costumes, each Senior appeared
with cap adjoining the noble
brow. Every cap was perched in a
different way. Some were insolent,
some were hardiboiled, some were
cocky and all. were original.
At one o'clock a program was
presented in the gym featuring
the Senior Super Six, which is a
jazz band composed of Leona Oh
brich, Margaret Moulton, Tom
Brown, Bill Burris, Harold Nelson
and Bob Siegfried. The Super Six
rendered several selections, alter

The Senate's battle over the
London naval limitation treaty
entered its second week today
with prospects of its ratification
depending chiefly on the admin
istration's ability to maintain the
Constitutional quorum necessary
for the legal transaction of bust
ness in the upper branch Of Con-
gress.
Political campaigns, business
affairs at home and vacation re-
treats furnished an attractive
lure to a Senate not overly i'm
pressed with the necessity for
ratifying the treaty this summer.
There were numerous observers
who believed the opposition to
the treaty would outlaSt the quo
rum, which was present all last
week, and that administration
leaders would be forced to permit
an adjournment with postpone
ment Of action until the next
regular session in December.
The seriousness Of the situation
was recognized today by President
Hoover. He had Senator Watson,
the majority leader, to breakfast
at the White House, and later they
called in Senator Borah (R) Of
Idaho to discuss ways and means
of preventing an adjournment.
During the first week, the
treaty opposition helped the Ad.
miniStration to maintain a
quorum. While. the Congressional
Record reported as many as 81

Sea Atomic Power Source,
Says Prof. MiIlikan

From the unlimited hydrogen
contained in the water of the
oceans, man might derive limit
less Subatomic energy.
Hydrogen atoms would be com.
bined. Then would be formed
more complicated atoms of the
well known elements such as oxy-
gen, helium, silicon or iron.
In this process of atom-build-
ing, the mightiest atomic energy
is discharged. In nature this
process goes on all the time.
Hydrogen atoms in the sky are
changing into oxygen, heliuI11,
carbon, iron and similar other
atoms, and the released energy
comes to us as cosmic rays.
More Energy
Building atoms, indeed. would
give us IL to 100 times more en-
ergy than smashing of the atoms,
under enormous temperature and
pressure.

ert Andrews Millikan. Nobel Prize

UPD|KE, FORMER
LEGISLATOR
FACES JAIL
Wife Wins Suit for Support
Of Self and Children; Court
Order Waits Indianan

Former Representative Ralph
Eugene Updike, of Indiana, was
today ordered to serve 80 days
in Jail for contempt Of court aris-
ing out of his failure to pay his
wife, Mrs. Charlotte Mae Updike,
100 block of Thirteenth ST. N,
W., the balance Of an alimorly
payment due her amounting to
$32.50.
While the order in contempt,
signed by Justice Jennings Bailey
today, sentences the former Rep.
reSentative and erstwhile Sparring
partner OF Gene Tunney, to a
definite Jail term, he can escape
entire sentence or any part of il
by paying up the balance of the
alimony due his wife. under the
terms of a temporary order signed
in Equity Court last June 4.
Asked Maintenance
Mrs. Updike is represented by
Attorneys Raymond Neudecker
and Jean M. Boardman, and
brought her suit against her huS-
band several months ago asking
for maintenance for herself and
her four children.
She charged that Updike had
sent his family to Indiana at the
time of his recent defeat in the
general elections, and was to have
sent for them when he obtained
employment In Washington.
His wife charged that although
he was employed as an attorney
in the Treasury Department, he
not only failed to send for his
family and make them home
here, but had bestowed his atten-
tions on some other woman.
Court Not Yet Served
There is no indication as to
which Updike prefers. the 80 days
in Jail or the alimony payment,
until he is served with the courts
order by a deputy marshal later
today.

NEW CLASH DUE
ON DEBENTURE

Like the cat that came back. the
ancient issue of farm relief re-
turned to the Administration
doorstep today calling loudly for
attention.
With wheat selling around Us
cents a buShel, the lowest price
in nearly 20 years. renewed de-
mands for corrective action are
fairly inundating Washington.
Cotton, corn and other basic com.
modities are similarly low priced.
so that the howls for relief are
not coming entirely from the
wheat-producing States.
Senator Arthur Capper (R) of
Kansas, who has been demanding
during the last week that the
farm board purchase 100000 600
bushels of wheat in the open
market, spent the weekend with
President Hoover at his Rapidan
fishing camp. There was a full
discussion Of the situation.
Debenture Fight
One development that is con.
sidered more or less of a Ger
tainty is that the bitter fight
over the debenture plan will be
revived when Congress meets
again unless there is marked
recovery in grain prices between
now and December.
The Administration was barely
able to stop the debenture plan
in the last Congress on the plea
that the Farm Board had not yet
been in operation sufficiently
long to demonstrate the sound.
ness and workability of the Ad.
miniStration'S program.
The debenture has been re-
peatedly denounced as ''unsound"
and economically reprehensible by
President Hoover. It is a charac-
teriStization which its advocates
have warmly disputed. That 1t
is coming up again in December
is accepted almost as a foregone
conclusion.
Powerful Argument
The debenture sponsors, who
number some If the most influ.
ential members of the Senate,
are going to have powerful ar.
gument to support their position.
The fact that commodity prices
have sunk steadily since the
Farm Board began operation puts
them in a position where they
plan to say to the White House
I'VE have tried your plan. 1t
has not worked. Now we will
try our plan"
