SPRAY FOR LEcAN1uM SCALE

Many inquiries have come to the
county agents office relative to spray
ing of cherries and other fruit trees
for the Lecanium Scale.
This scale insect passes the winter
in an immature stage on the twigs
and smaller branches of the trees. At
this season it may be seen as a small
flat oval shaped slightly gray object
about 1-l6 of an inch long. During
the early spring and summer they
form large brown scale over their
bodies, usually reaching the size Of a
very small pea, brown in color.
The winter treatment for control
of this insect is spraying with a good
oil emulsion spray. Any of the
standard oil emulsions applied at a
strength of 8 or 4 per cent oil and
thoroughly applied will prove very
efficient. Most of these oil emulsion
sprays are mixed at the rate of five
gallons of Oil emulsion to 100 gallons
of water. 1t is always best to follow
the directions of the manufacturer of
emulsion in using the spray.
Oil emulsion sprays of dormant
strength must be used during the dor

The creation of interest through
group activities has long been recog-
nized, and the popularity of athletics
in our schools is due largely to the
element of competition. 1t is hard to
get a boy interested in a line of work
just because you say he should be, but
let the boy next door try to beat him
at the job he has to do and the
element of competition enters in. Ask
the average girl to help mother with
the family canning and she can fur
nish more aiibis than ten lawyers, but
let her do the same amount of work,
knowing that her work is going to be
judged along with that of some twenty
or thirty other girls and you have a
different proposition to deal with. No
number of prizes can give half the
| thrills that the satisfaction of being
high man can. The All Club work
is based largely on wholesome compe-
tition.
Next Saturday evening, at the Island
Club, is to be held meeting for the
formation of an Island All Club. AL
ready the boys and girls attending
high school have found out something
of what it is all about, and have no
doubt given their younger brothers
and sisters the benefit of their
knowledge.
1t is not at all likely that in COM
munity made up of intelligent people
as is ours that the boys and girls al

discouraged. But there is the posi-

Interesting indeed is the report of
the Department of Commerce on the
subject of unemployment for the
Seattle district. The figures are based
on the recent census and show that in
each of the seven classes of jobless
there are far more men than women
out of work; for instance Glass A,
persons out of job, able to work and
looking for a job l0,S27 males, 1868
females; Glass B, persons having jobs,
but on lay-off without pay, excluding
those sick of voluntarily idle, 1850
males, 317 females; Glass G, persor-s
out of job and unable to work, $50
males, 200 females; Class D, persons
having jobs but idle on account of
sickness or disability, 988 males, 3l1
females; Glass E. persons out of job
and not looking for work, $50 males,
243 females; Glass F, persons having
jobs but voluntarily idle, without pay
42O males, 189 females; Glass G, per-
sons having jobs and drawing pay,
though not at work ION vacation, etc.,
1888 males, ITO females.
The question still remains, in this
day and age of working women, why
the percentage of unemployed men
should be so much higher than of I'M
employed women. In view of our sex
we do not presume to express any
ideas we may have on the subject, but
in presenting the figures we imagine
some of our readers will, like us, have
definite ideas on the matter.

Restoring Confidence.

as herein used does not mean extrava-

Nobody can contest the soundness
IL that theory. But to whom is the
advice addressed2 To the worker, in

They will resume It when they feel con-

Inspector Shelby.

Assistant Superintendent Of Police
Shelby retires from the Police Depart
ment today after service OF twenty.
nine years. The action Of the District
Supreme Court yesterday in expunging
from the records the special report OF
a grand jury that two years ago un-
justly criticized him serves also TO re-
move, with due formality, the only stair
on his oficial record as a police officer
For his many friends the action was
unnecessary. for to them the stain was
never there. But it is we'll that this
tardy recognition of injustice has been
made.
A year after his promotion in 1927 IL
the assistant superintendency of police
Inspector Shelby asked to be retired
A physicians report, however. found
him physically able to continue in the
service. He was ordered before the
Board Of Police and Fire Surgeons this
month by Maj Pratt, who acted on the
physician. and the board recommended
his retirement because of poor health.
To Inspector Shelby the Police De-
partment owes the adoption of many
new methods In police work, recon-
mended after careful study He was
the founder Of the Police School for
Recruits, and for many years he made
this training school his special hobby
1t was never given the importance OF
the equipment that he asked for it OF
which It deserved. He was a real stu
dent of police organization, believer
in thorough training of police recruits
and bitter critic of the lack of such
training. When there is established
some day a school for police recruits
that is worthy of the name. Inspector
Shelby will receive the recognition that
u his due.
His speciality was administrative and
personnel work. To a friend he COM
planned, not long ago. that his troubles
started when they tried to make a
detective out of me-" And 1t is true
that he was made chief of the De-
tective Bureau, not because he asked
for the work or because his previous
training had given him any peculiar
fitness, but because he happened to be
the ranking police officer available for
the Job. A few months after his taking
charge of the bureau q storm broke over
his head in the form of the McPher-
son case and he never fully recovered
from the nervous strain to which a
wholly undeserved personal attack SUBJ
iected him
He retires now with the good wishes
Of the community he has served faith
fully and well. The Star wishes him
many happy hours among his books
and the contentment that comes with
clear conscience, an untroubled mind

This plan is advanced by a special

consideration as 10 details. No appeal
