Pine Leaf Scale is
Damaging Evergreens

Pine leaf scale, which has been
doing increasing damage to evergreens
in Minnesota nurseries, in Minnesota
parks, and on lawns, apparently can
be controlled by proper spraying with
lime sulfur, according to statement
recently issued by A. G. Ruggles, state
entomologist and a member of the
staff of the division of entomology and
economic zoology of the Minnesota
Agricultural Experiment Station.
The Pine leaf scale has not done
serious damage under forest condi-
lions, but because of it's increase in
nurseries and in other paintings, es-
pecially in the vicinity of Minneapo-
lis, st. Paul, Lake City, and Fari-
bault, the agricultural experiment sta
ton, in cooperation with the Mime
sofa State Department of Agriculture,
some time ago began careful investi-
CATION. 1t found that the scale some
times produces two generations in the
course of a season and that the spray
ing of each generation at its maximum
was necessary in order to maintain
control. Lime sulfur, says Mr.. Rug
giles, has thus far given satisfactory
results when properly applied, but
further Investigations will be neces-
sary. Detailed information may be
obtained by addressing Mr.. Ruggles
at University Farm, St Paul.

Trend of Times Shown
in Valentines History

There is a fascination in following
the history of any utterly useless
thing. The valentine, always a caprice,
a within, is tender, ostentatious, low or
sentimental, according to the trend Of
the time. Its history can be briefly
put down. The day was once the
Roman Lupercalia, the festival at the
beginning of spring, when every man
had the right to express his affection
and every girl as well. Each drew
the name Of his valentine out of an
urn. Here was no diffused sentiment
such as pervades the valentines pop
ular In America, which read ITO
Baby" ITO Mother" or "To Grand
father" Some religious houses on
the continent encouraged their men,
bers to choose saints as valentines
and to inscribe verses to them. But
in general the church frowned on the
festival, for moral reasons.

longed to one of the earliest Of the
Christian families and was terribly
ambitious in the church. There was,
however, a villainous creature resid-
ing in Rome at the time, one named
Governor Calpurnius, who was a
pagan, and threw Valentinus into
prison for his religious undertakings.
The inevitable happened. Valentinus
fell for the keepers daughter. All the
time he was in prison he amused him
self by cutting curious designs out Of
paper, on some of which he wrote
pious exhortations and assurances Of
love to the lady. The morning of
the execution dawned and before Val
entinus was dragged to the Flaminian
way for the beheading act his parting
message on a frilly sheet of fancy
paper to his loved one was: "Your
Valentine" History tells US there is
great reason for supposing that in
cident to be the origin of the quaint
custom Of observing st. Valentines
day.

MINNESOTA BORN
GIRL MAKES GOOD

Dorothy Peterson is one actress who
didn't prepare the way to success by
starving. Born in Hector, Mimi, she
matriculated at the University of Wis
consin, changed her mind about an
academic career, and studied opera
instead.
Again she changed her mind and
attended dramatic school that spe-
cialized in Greek adaptations. She
did Euripides "Alcestes" among other
classical works, then sought new fields
to conquer.
She journeyed to Chicago, found lit
tie there for a budding young actress
and once more took up the study OF
music, this time at the Chicago Must
cal College where, curiously enough
she received an offer to play in Bor-
gony Hammers Ibsen repertory COM
pany.
Two years of transforming con-
WINGED her that New York was the
atrical haven, and she arrived in
Gotham with $40 to spare, but she
never did get around to starving, new
as she was to Broadway. Intermittent
jobs posing for magazine covers
helped, then she got "bit" in "The
Cat and the Canary"
Progress came in leaps and bounds
and quite suddenly she found herself
cast in the leading role of "Icebound,'
then "All Gods Chillun Got Wings
Cobra" ''The Fall Guy" and ]. p
McEvoy's God Loves Us"
Dorothy Peterson is her real name
She is 26 and comes of an old Swedish
line.
She is under contract to First Ma
tional and her initial motion picture
is Mothers Cry" an adaptation of the
noted Helen Grace Carlisle novel
which appears on the screen of the
Aster theater.

In days of old girls got their thrills
From Valentines all fired with frills.
While we go in for simpler stuff,
Tell 'em nothin'; treat-.em rough.
But we are none the less sincere;
Come be my Valentine, OIL dear!
There you have It! The Valentine
greeting Of 1881 and one which If
seen by grandmamma would send the
shivers down the poor old creatures
spine. For when she was a
girl maidens lisped and tainted at even
the mere thought of Valentine from
the favored one but times
have changed and no more do hand
some SWANS send their lady loves
turtle doves in lacy nests Of paper Of
crimson hearts stabbed by Cupid's ar
rows. The sweet passionate
symbolism and lifting rhymes Of the
quaint old Roman custom started for
lovers centuries ago have gone into
the chest Of forgotten things.
Valentines today are overlooking
with messages Of frank brutality.
They are far from sugary and their
frankness and sophistication is sup
posed to result at least in a COM
panionate marriage If not in tenn
porary affair. For instance let us
compare a rhyme Of the ByrOnic era
with one Of today. The earlier one
went:
II love were what the rose is
And I were like the leaf
Our lives would grow together
In sad or springy weather.
Then this one:
How delicious Is the winning
OF kiss at loves beginning,
When two mutual hearts are signing
For the knot there's no untying.
For the boy friend who is irked by
the high hattishness Of his favored
one this is dandy little token of
affection a la 1881:
Your conceit and assurance
Hand me quite a laugh,
For your friends say you haven't
The sense of q calf.
Heaven help us. 1t is an age where
there is no romance. Not even in q
Valentine. Focus your eyes on this

HINTS ON HEALTH

Committee of Minnesota
State Medical ASSN.

Beautiful women seldom have can
| Ger.
This is the observation Of a fam
Gus American physician to which to-
days bulletin from the Minnesota
State Medical association heartily sub
scribes.
The doctor referred to in the bull
letin was talking of course, about
cancers of the surface of the body
the skin, the mouth, the cheek, the
ear.
The beautiful woman is the well
groomed woman, the Medical associa-
ton commentators point out. She
keeps her body scrupulously clean
She will not permit rough spots
moles, warts, or "sores" anywhere tc
mar her appearance.
If this zeal and watchfulness has
it's roots in nothing more than q
passion to be admired, it is at least
medically sound, and should be en-.
couraged.
"The day when carlessness and bad
| grooming and sloppiness generally
was to be taken as a sign of spiritual
| excellence or intellectually is decid,
eddy over" this bulletin says.
ut is one of the most easily demon.
| strated truths about cancer, that ir-
| ritations contribute universally to the
| development of malignancy. They
are anathema to the well groomed
woman because they are unsightly
They are anathema to the physician
for more fundamental reasons.
If the scrupulous care to prevent
| blemishes and unsightly surface ir-
| ritations might be extended with
equal scrupulousness to any untowart
interior symptoms, the problem of can.
Ger would be nearly eighty per cent
| solved, even if nobody ever discovers
a specific cure for cancer" the bulle
| tin declares.
ut is a fact for which there are
reliable figures to prove that no less
than eighty per cent of the cancers
| that are discovered and treated when
the very first obscure symptoms pre-
| sent themselves are completely cured
| these doctors say.
while we are waiting for science
| to discover a specific cure for malig.
nancy, we may we'll occupy ourselves
encouraging people to good grooming
without, and the utmost watchfulness
within, so that cancer may at leas
have the benefit of early diagnosis ant

Don't think you fool me
With your powder and paint,
For I happen to know
That you're no plaster saint

But, If you prefer the old-fashioned
Valentine, the one of sugary verse, or
one of the gifts of another day, choco-
late creams in scarlet satin heart
shaped boxes, sheafs of roses or clus-
tiers Of violets or book of passionate
poems, you can do it, but it will not
be tres chic, as the French would say.
The swank of romance in the TWEEN
tieth century will be lacking. Cock
tail shakers, cigarette cases and light
ers, pocketbook TASKS are the tokens
Of affection and esteem for the girl
friend this st. Valentines day.
And as for old boy Valentine

NEWSPAPER AGAIN
CHEVROLET'S AIDE

Another aggressive advertising cam
paign, with newspaper display col
umns carrying the brunt of the attack,
is promised for this year by r. X.
White. advertising manager of the
Chevrolet Motor Company.
Long one of the nations leading adj
vertisers, the Chevrolet organization
lent its endorsement to the pulling
power of the newspaper by using
500 dailies and weeklies to announce
its new 1881 car i'm November, the
largest newspaper schedule ever used
by Chevrolet in one campaign since
the inception of the company. This
move was made despite sub-normal
business conditions and the generally
slackened promotional activities of
manufacturers in and out of the auto
mobile industry.
1--WE made this move" Mr.. White
explained, because we are in direct
accord with the frequently expressed
view that the only way to make bad
business good and good business bet
ter is to put abnormal effort into your
activities when you face subnormal
conditions.
mot only did we carry the largest
newspaper schedule we ever used, but
we enlisted new forms of advertising
to put our new car message across.
Both the radio and the motion picture
screen were added this year. Both
are new media in our program, and
both were added because a manufac-
turer with national market inten-
sively cultivated cannot afford to over
look any new means of approach to
| that market.
I'VE are continuing to use the radio
and the screen to supplement and but
tress our newspaper campaigns just
as we have always used national mag
azines, outdoor boards, direct mail
and other media for the same purpose.
"The newspaper, however, continues
to form the backbone of our cam
paigns, and for the present will con-
tinue to do so. 1t, in the parlance
of the gridiron, carries the ball and
the rest run interference"
