In control Of the codling moth
Mr.. Bregger particularly empha-
sized in the necessity Of thorough
spraying and proper timing at the
beginning Of the season for the
control Of the first brood. The
caylx application should be made
at time when it is possible to get
the spray coverage onto the cayix
parts before they close. Spraying
should begin just early enough,
taking weather conditions into
consideration, to complete the
spray just before the closing of
the caylx. This is important when
we remember that IS percent Of
the first eggs are laid upon the
leaves and worms travel over the
leaves and thru the caylx parts,
then to get into the apple. If these
parts are well covered with lead
the worm will absorb enough poi
son to be killed before getting to
the point where he may eat his
way into the apple. The second
spray, the first cover, should fol
low the caylx spray within the 10
day period, this to cover new leaves
and stems developing so as to
leave heavy lead deposit upor
all parts Of the trees so that the
worm in travelling to the apple may
be poisoned. The Third spray, the
second covering, should follow
within the next ten day period ant
the periods should always BIZ
timed from start Of spray tx
start, or end to end. If one has pro
vided this coverage during thi.
period being sure every surface o.

sprayings tim in an orchard wher'
reasonable clean fruit was secur

to cut The spray down to 5, or a

i The codling moth situation thi
year, we believe, offers a rea
challenge to the fruit grower t
see just how well he can contro

upon one or two sprays later TO
the necessary follow up. IF the in
festation is not heavy, it may no
be at all necessary to use oil dur

: the use of oil will lengthen on
the time the lead will be effectiv
as control measure.
: The red spider, or two spotte

mands very close attention.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, December g.
Did a cold In the head change the
tinnid son Of q university professor nrst
to a drum major and then to highway
robber and automobile thief?
Or Is the case Of Ransom II. Hawley,
jr,, just like that of any other 18-year-
old youth accused Of crime.
This question was presented today to
Washtenaw County jury which heard
on the one side testimony that Hawley,
son of professor in the University
Of Michigan Engineering College, held
up two gasoline stations and stole two
automobiles, and on the other that he
suffers from mental sickness" trace
able to severe cold.
The defense story of the change IN
the youths disposition and habits
started with his fathers statement that
his son became irritable and moody after
the cold in Seutember, 1881. Then
followed physicians, led by DR.. Franklin
G. Lindemulder. professor OF neurology
at the university, who attributed the
change to encephalitis, or inflammation
Of the brain, contracted from the IN
flammation accompanying the cold.
The physicians told how young Haw-
ley had been Immature, childish. IN
need of protection" but after the con-
dition they described developed, wanted
to "show off," seeking and obtaining
the post of drum major OF the Ann
Arbor High School Band. The rob-
berries, they said. resulted from the
same mental sickness"

ATTACK ON M'KEE
RESULTS IN uPROAR
Mayor Dares Democratic
Senator to Waive Grim
inaI Immunity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December SIN scene
of uproar at the Hofstadter Legislative
Committee meeting today Mayor Joseph
v. Mckee dared Senator John j. Nc
Naboe, a Democratic member of the
committee, to "disrobe" himself of con-
stitutional safeguards so he might be
held criminally liable for a statement
to which Mckee took exception.
The mayor, who as president Of the
Board of Aldermen succeeded James j.
Walker when the latter resigned, was
on the stand advocating abolition Of
the Board of Estimate and the Board Of
Aldermen and substitution Of q City
Council.
Senator McNaboe interjeeted a ques-
ton as to whether it was good policy
for the president of the Board of Alder
men to represent private client be-
fore the Board of Estimate.
The question threw the hearing room
into an uproar Senator Samuel Hot
stadter, chairman of the committee,
banged his gavel for order and both
Samuel Seabury, the committees coun-
sell and Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvil-
lier, another Democratic member of the
committee, rushed to the mayors de-
tense.
Mckee Indignantly denied what he
interpreted as a slight on his integrity
and challenged McNaboe to repeat his
question where he could be held liable
for it, both civilly and criminally.
As soon as McNaboe's question was
asked HolStadter said: Strike that
question from the record" The mayor
flushed with anger, and Seabury, ig-
noring the chairman's gavel, rose to
shout, that is characteristic of the
senator's questions. His purpose Is to
obstruct and insult all witnesses other
than those that come from Tammany
Hall"
Mckee belongs to the Bronx County
Democratic organization and not to
Tammany.
