little room to doubt that the lid from

OF the country, politically speaking.
Wednesday night he was more con-

Chairman Farley himself attributed
little significance to his Atlanta visit.

HOW TO COMBAT
 THE INSECT PESTS
New Remedy in Market That Gives Good Re-
 sults-NOt Expensive
GIVE WEEKLY DOSE

New Haven, July 17-A modern remedy for an old pest is descripea hv Dr Roger B. Friend, In new bulletin of the Connecticut agrl- cultural experiment statioh' me Squash Vine Borer." r..
 In four years experiments Dr Friend found that vines sprayed to kill the insect yielded at least a third more vines untreated anu sometimes the yield was higher' The old fashioned method of com hating the borer was to dig It out of the vine with a knife, but tnis was laborious, and not practicapie in a big field. ..
 Hinder Connecticut conditions Hubbard squash vines should pc snrayed at weekly intervals four times during July. beginning the first week." Dr Friend advises' "Onlv the basal four feet Of the vines need be sprayed, and care should be taken to cover thorough ,v the under side of the stem as well as the upper side, the lear uaIks and the under side or the caves. n .
 Lead arsenate and fish oil, coat ed lead arsenate, or nicotine sui- fate should give good results: Tne lead arsenate and fish oil snould he used at the rate of three pounds of lead arsenate plus one quart or fish oil in 100 gallons Of water, and coated lead arsenate should be used at the rate of eight pounds io 100 gallons of water.
 "The increase in crop yield op- tained by spraying will more than offset the cost of spraying. even when the most expensive of these materials is used. The cost or treat nent is from $25 to $30 an acre: a relatively small increase in yield would balance this expense. Gener- ally an acre untreated yields five to eight tons of Hubbard squash, whereas spraying should increase inc yield to 10 tons.'
 The squash vine borer inJures the plant by tunnehng in the stem. Adults appear the last of June and may be found flying in the field un- til the middle of August. The re. males lay their eggs singly on all parts of the plant. except the upper surface of the leaves. but the ma iority of the eggs are placed on the basal part of the stem and the under side. The larvae hatch and enter the vine.

SAFEGUARD THE
 MAN ON FOOT Need of F00tpaths on Washington St From
 Sylvan Ave Easterly THE PAVING FINISHED

The paving of Washington street from Sylvan avenue to Hamilton avenue will be finished to-day. It looks like a good job, but before the workmen are called off suitable footpaths should be made on either side. There is a lot of foot travel on that street, and inasmuch as 1t Is sure to be used as a speedway for motorists, the only way to safe- guard pedestrians is to have places on which they can walk on either side.
 The street department should make it a point to complete this job in such way that the high way commissioner will look it over and do likewise on the country roads all over the state.

Fanatical Moslems in
Frenzy of Self Torture

Beating their breasts, scourging
their backs with chains and cutting
their scalps with sword blows, crowds
Of the Shah sect of Moslems in Basra
and other cities keep alive the men,
DRY of a great tragedy.
Fourteen hundred years ago, in a
battle on the plains Of the Euphrates
at Kerbala, the forces of Hussain,
grandson Of the Prophet Mahomet,
were exterminated.
Year after year the defeat is pub
licly mourned. Loud chanting is heard,
punctuated by the rhythmic beating Of
their breasts by parties of 10 or 20
men, stripped to the waist, who sur
round their leaders. .....-......
The grief symbolized by the breast
heaters is repeated by the chain beat
ers. These ascetics lash themselves
with kind of cat-o'-nine-tails made
of chains.
In the holy cities, during the first
nine days Of the month of Moharram,
the swordsmen parade the streets and
work themselves up to the climax on
the tenth day.
They form up in huge circles, chant
ing and shouting their formula of
grief for the dead Hussain. Each cir
Gle moves round in quickening rhythm
until with delirious shout the leader
brings his sword down on his own
head. That is the signal for all to
follow his example.

Authority ON Spelling
of Geographical Names

The federal department which Is
the final authority on the spelling Of
geographical names is the United
States Geographic board. AS far as Is
practicable, the United States Post Of
fee department accepts the decisions
of this board In all Its official spell
ings In the case Of Pittsburgh, Pa.
the board was first asked to pass on
the correct spelling In 1891. at which
time 1t decided in favor Of the spell
ing "Pittsburg" This decision, how
ever, met with great deal of Opposi-
tion among citizens generally in Pitts
burgh. and In 1911 the board consent
ed to reconsider the case. One of the
deciding factors In the final decision
was the "Original seal of the Borough
of Pittsburgh" which was struck in
1904, and which was brought forward
as evidence. The Geographic boards
final decision in 1911 reversed the orig
inal decision and established Pitts
burgh as the official spelling Of the
name Of this city.

Fearful and Wonderful, q
These Colonial Dishes

The "good old days" Of our Colonial
ancestors had many culinary high
points, the contemplation Of which
leaves the modern American gasping.
Even the simple meal-time beverages
were given twists and turns that
threw them out of all semblance to the
cocoa, tea and coffee which today's
housewife prepares with such perfec-
ton. .....
Chocolate drinks, now among the
most popular of all soda fountain bev-
erages, Jared the worst at the hands
Of the Colonial dame. Her favorite
variation of this delicious wholesome
drink was to put several links of saus-
age into a kettle of chocolate and
then boil 1t. Honored guests were
served with bowls of chocolate in
which bits of sausage fioated. This
bit of refreshment was eaten with
spoon.
incidentally the cocoa and chocolate
industry got its impetus soon after the
Boston tea party. Up until that time
hot chocolate had been served only on
state occasions.
Our forefathers and foremothers,
too, were particularly addicted to boil
ing tea in an iron kettle, draining off
the liquid and serving the remaining
"herbs" buttered, under the guise of
vegetable The remaining "tea wa
ter" as 1t was called, was then con-
sumed without milk or sugar, simply
to help wash down the greens" Ughl

Moss Rose Legend

According to German tradition, the
legend of the moss rose is as follows:
"Once upon time an angel, having a
mission of love to suffering humanity.
came down on earth. He was much
grieved at all the sin and misery he
saw and at all the evil things he heard.
Being tired. he sought place to rest,
but as 1t Jared with his master, SO 1t
Jared with him, there was no room
for him. and no one would give him
shelter. At last he lay down under
the shade of rose and slept until
the rising sun awoke him. Before
winging his flight heavenward he ad-
dressed the rose and said that, as 1t
had given him shelter which man de-
MED, 1t should receive an enduring
token of his love, and so, leaf by leaf,
and twig by twig, the soft moss grew
around the stem, and there it is to-
day. cradle In which the newborn
rose may lie, proof of Gods power
and love" @

Colonial Mail

The following is from Elson's His
tory of the United States; 1.-THE mail
was carried by postriders, who fol-
lowed the main roads as far as there
were any; on reaching the roadless
settlements they found their way
through the forest as best they could
by the trails and bride paths. The
postman left a city, not at regular in
tervals, but only when he received
enough mail to pay the expenses of
the trip. The remote settlements were
fortunate If they received mail once a
month. Benjamin Franklin was ap-
pointed postmaster general in 1853,
and he served about 20 years. He
soon made the service paying one to
the crown. Yet even then the amount
of mail delivered in the whole country
in a year was less than that now de-
llvered in the city of New York in one
day."

American Museum Gets
Relics of Bronze Age

More than 800 objects, many Of
them over five thousand years old, are
on exhibition In the University of
Pennsylvania museum. The finds, the
majority of which date from the early
Bronze age, were uncovered at Tepe
Gawra, Mesopotamla. ..as s..i.5
Some of the earliest pottery ever
excavated In the Near East, small
copper frying pan, a cylinder seal of
a goat done in decidedly express
slonislic manner, an alabaster animal
fgurine reminiscent of early Chinese
Jade work, and an exQuisitely painted
clay chalice Of about 5000 B. c., are
included. tt-l
In addition there are numerous 9TH
err animal figurines and amulets, a
complete cosmetic set of the period,
a mold for casting bronze objects and
a stone palette for mixing paints.
The unusual nature of some of the
finds, together with the fact that they
are remarkably well preserved, makes
the collection Of particular interest,
according to DR.. Ephraim A. Speiser.
"Both the seal Of the goat and anoth-
er stamped seal of about 1870 B. G..
the latter which portrays an ibex,
show a sense Of design that might al
most be called modernistic." Doctor
Speiser stated, while the frying pan
constitutes a particularly valuable dis
covery because 1t still retains its orig
inal handle, very unusual occur
renee.
Particular interest is attached also
to the pottery. for 1t precedes the
bronze work in age. and points to a
time in the history of Tepe Gawra
when a state of comparative leisure
existed. This leisure subsequently
was driven out by the advent of metal.
for the coming Of bronze accelerated
the mode Of living, and the painted
pottery gave way to things of more
utilitarian nature"
