ment. In his second term the state was overrun by British troops, and Jefferson, civilian, was blamed for the intellectual resistance. Most of the criticism of his administration was grossly unjust. His conduct be- ing attacked, he declined reelection to the governorship, but was unani- mously returned by Albemarle as delegate to the state legislature.
 From 17S4 to 17S9 Jefferson wa. in France. first under an appoint ment to collaborate with Benjamin
 Franklin and John Adams in nego- tiating treaties of commerce with
 European countries. and then us Franklin's successor as minister of
 France. He was exceedingly popu- lar as a minister. During this time
 he assisted in negotiating treaty of amity and commerce with Prussia and one with Morocco, and nego- Itiated with France convention defining and establishing the rights and privileges of consuls and vice suls.' When Jefferson left France it was with the intention of soon returning, but President Washington rendered him the secretaryship of state and he reluctantly accepted. Alexander Hamilton was secretary of the treasury. These two men, anti podal in temperament and political belief. clashed with irreconcilable hostility, first on the financial pro- posals of Hamilton, which were adopted by congress against the pro- tests of Jefferson. then on the ques- tions with regard to France and Great Britain, Jefferson's sym pathies being predominantly with the former, Hamilton's with the lat ter. They formed about themselves two great parties, which took the names of republican and feder;llist. The schools of thought for which they stood have since contended for mastery in American politics. The name republican was dropped at the time of the war in 1872. In 1853 it was revived for new party of very different political principles.
 Jefferson was elected president, entering upon his duties March I. 1891, and reflected in 1904. His ad- ministration was distinguished by simplicity that marked his conduct in private life.
 When, on March 4. 1909, he re tired from the presidency, he had been almost continuously in the public service for forty years. He refused to be reelected, for the third time, though requested by the legis- latures of five states to be can didate. Thus. following Washing toms example, he helped to estab- fish a precedent deemed by him oi great importance for preserving :; democratic spirit in the presidencS- When he, died. he chose for his tomb the epitaph: Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author Of the Declaration of Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and Father of the Uni versity of Virginia"

 that it won't be available in a practical way for another 10 years and even then only to those | who can well afford it.
 Just now great number Of engineers and scientists are ap- this field. At Camden, N. J., the Radio Corporation of America has gath cred scientists from the labora- tories of the General Electric company in Schnectady and the Westinghouse company lin East Pittsburg. Here, these men are delving into all sorts of television problems, many of them guarded with profound secrecy, all the way from transmission to reception. In New York. the Belle Tele- phone laboratories are astir with research and development, and
 have progressed perhaps the far thest of all. In less than four years they have exhibited first a form of television by wire and radio, like network broadcasting to-day, then suggestion of tele- vising outdoor scenes of rather
 large proportions, then color tele- vision and more recently two-way television by wire.

Washington, D. C., April 12.-In the picturesque and dramatic period just before, during and immediately after the Revolutionary war, there are probably but few figures who stand out in American history as does Thomas Jefferson, third presi- dent of the United States, and the most conspicuous apostle of democ- racy in America, according to the division of information and publica- tion of the George Washington Bi- centennial commission.
 April IS, 1891, will mark the 1S8th anniversary of his birth at Shadwell, Albemarle country, Vir- ginia. By strange coincidence he died on July 4, 1926. the fiftieth an- niversary of the signing of the Dec laration of Independence, on the same day as John Adams, the second president of the United States, and (with one interruption from 1795 to 1809) lifelong friends.
 No American of this time had such versatility or such diversified interests. Jefferson was asked to draft the Declaration of Independ- ence because of his reputation as a writer. Adams thus tells the story: He brought with him a reputation for literary science and the happy talent for composition. Writings of of his were handed about, remark able for their peculiar felicity of expression. It was the Summary View which elicited the admiration of Edmund Burke"
 Jefferson was a student of Will liam and Mary college at Williams burg, Virginia. In addition to ex- ceiling in other studies. he had a good knowledge of Latin,. Greek, and French, to which he soon added Italian and Spanish. He had an artistic temperament, loved music and was an exceptionally good vio- linist. He was proficient in outdoor sports, and an excellent horseman. Thoroughbred horses to him were a necessary luxury.
 Soon after leaving college, he en- tered a law office, and after five years of close study. was admitted to the bar in 1767. His thorough prep aration enabled him to compete from the first with the leading lawyers of the colony.
 On January l, 1772, he married Martha Wayles Skelton, childless widow of twenty-three, very hand some, accomplished and very fond of music. Their married life was exceedingly happy. and Jefferson never remarried after her early death. Of six children. two daugh- ters alone survived infancy. Jeffer- son was emotional. and very affec- tionate at home, and his generous and devoted relations with his chill dren and grandchildren are among the finest features of his character.
 In 1779, at almost the gloomiest stage of the war in the southern states, Jefferson succeeded Patrick Henry as governor of Virginia, be- ing the second to hold that office after the organization of the govern

CAPITAL CHURCH HAD FIRST CLASS
 IN COURTSHIP
100 Young People Assem= bled in Mt Pleasant Con-
 gregational Edifice and There Were Plenty of Giggles

[ Washington, April 13-UP)- Abut 100 young people assembled last night at Mt Pleasant Congre- gational church for the first class in the course in courtship, by some vulgarly termed Hove clinic in- augurated by the young peoples forum of the church
 The topic for last night was, briefly, 'the ideals for the relation of young men and women in court ship and engagement and the sug gestion of one ideal after another brought alternate signs, giggles and outright laughter from the inter nes' present.
 While the program called for strict adherence to course l, court ship and engagement, a large num- Der of the helpful suggestions from the class had to do with the life beyond the ring and the book. Some of them were:
 That young married couple should keep available portable partition to be installed in the apart ment when the brides mother shows lup.
 ITO be. married to one who has all the tastes and viewpoints would be intolerably monotonous. To be married to one who differs in views would be unbearable." Which, as the lawyers have it, leaves matters in status quo ante.
 Other observations were:
 Tt is not necessary for wife to understand and sympathize with all her husbands interests. After all, it isn't the things you do so much as the one you do them with. I speak from experience"
 "The various virtues can, be sum- med up mathematically. A person deserves to preceive his degree of master of matrimony when he can average 75 per cent on these virtues otherwise he rates funk" The course in wooing will continue for five weeks more, developing var ious topics on the matrimonial Agenda, with 8 view, according to the pastor of the church, to prepar- ing young people to face intelligent ly the problems of courtship and marriage.

 In the United States and Canada to-day more than 25,000 pioneer teievision fans are turning on their television receivers to see whatever they can of visual radio programs heinz transmitted from Chicago from Washington and from other points where engineers are concen- trating their efforts on developing this newest of sciences.
 From softly illuminated booths more than two miles apart in New York city, two persons can carry on an ordinary telephone conversa- ton and at the same time see each other-all by means of wire tele- phone.
 For television--both by radio and by wire-is now fact. But 1t is barely arrived and the road aheaa ess ia long one, beset by all the dif- fuculties and inperfections that that marked the path of the first crude radio sets 10 years ago or the old hand-cranked wall ,teie- phones of q generation back.
 To these 25,0O0 pioneers televi- soin is fere-crude, almost unrecog- nizable at times. extremely limited and burdened with many lmperfec- tions. But it is here, neverethe- less, just as radio was back in the days when bold experimenters were coiling wire around oatmeal cartons and listening hopefully with headphones.
 To many persons participating in the experimental wire tele- 4 %l,~o T0xxy 0Y.k seeing quite clear and steady images of each other and hearing each other without difficulty-ap- parently there's nothing more to be done.
 But the engineers who have succeeded in progressing so far s with this remarkable science know better. In fact, so removed do they believe they still are from practical, commercially profitable television that they consider it's present forms merely experimental. crude and lim- ited suggestions of the real thing.
 The subject commands to-day perhaps the most intensive and widespread effort ever put on any sc.entific problem.
 Research in television is going on not only in the United States has already cost missions of dol lars and will cost millions more.
 Financicrs Back of It.
 That some of the greatest financial interests in the country are backing this research is as surance enough of televisions poten- tial practivabiIity, of it's future in a manner much similar to that of sound broadcasting and receiv- ing, and much like the two-way telephone conversation.
 When this practical form of television will arrive, in what form, at what cost and under what conditions or limitations are matters of conjecture. Opinions

cornstalks and stubble. The only way to control the insect is to des- troy it in this stage. This may be done by cutting the corstalks close to the ground and then either put ting them in the silo or feeding them to cattle. Another method is to destroy the cornstalks by plow- ing them under cleanly or by burn- in over the field.
 We are sure that cleanup methods properly applied can con- trol an infestation, "Dr Britton said. Last spring an experiment station crew burned cornfields and garden patches of four infested towns, Rox- bury, Southbury, Bethel and Easton. The work was done so thoroughly that last summer not a single speci- men of the borer could be found.
 "In Milford and Orange, some of the farmers who promised to prac- tice their own cleanup failed to do so. Consequently, the borer was found again in both towns. When the winter resting place of the borer is not destroyed by. the middle of the spring, the adult moth may emerge and lay eggs through the field.''
 Quarantined Area.
