BUG ALWAYS
 GETS ITS MAN

Berkeley, Cal. (UP)-The ha- brocytus cerealellae always gets his man.
 He doesn't belong to the North west Mounted, but he's a bug on criminology.
 Norman S. Noble, Australian scientist, says 50 in scientific bulletin published as part of his work for a master of science de- gree at the University of Califor- mia.
 Like Sherlock Holmes, habrocy- tus has a particular enemy. His moriarity is one angoumois, a grain 9oti that lays eggs in corn, or wheat grains, and nourishes his offspring at the expense of crops.
 Habrocytus' only resemblance to Phiio Vance in his name. He is wasp-like bug about one-eighth of an inch long, but it's all brain detective brain.
 From his long career ,let us take one case:
 Word comes to headquarters that angoumis has established a hideaway in a pile of wheat. It lives In kernel and eats its way out. Then the Iarva turns into a moth and comes out like chicken from the egg. It lays more eggs. The job Is to trap 1t while still in the kernel.
 Habrocytus starts the hunt. Us- ing its antennae as a safecracker does his finger tips. it's drives un- erringly toward the hideout.
 Quick. Watson, the neddle," and its bores q hole in the kernel and gives angoumis a fatal hypoa dermic injection.

 New York, Nov 17--UP)-In his first post election interview, Norman Thomas, socialist candi- date for president who campaigned before the largest audiences his party ever attracted, but failed to equal it's largest vote, to-day claimed amazing gains for social- ism"
 "The socialistic gain was im- mense," he said, more people heard me than ever listened to. a socialist candidate before-and in many cases they paid admission to hear me. And they heard socialism talked straight--I included every thing. They listened sympatheti- cally too"
 He laughed. "I got all the ap- plause and the other fellows got all the votes. But never mind. We converted many, but as the first process of conversion is toleration, our success has been amazing. As result of the campaign we have healthy, young organizations in cft- ies and states where we've never had them before."
 "The reason there were so many people who were socialists in pre- election, conversation and not at the polls, was due largely to the get Hoover movement. Hoover's last minute drive cost me many votes. It aroused fears in the bosoms of many voters that per- haps he might be elected after all. They resilved, Come heaven, come hell, we'll have no more Hoover
 Thomas in excellent humor, looked back over the campaign merrily. TO him 1t was a past phenomena and at the moment the humorous stood out. He could be more than philosophic in his "de- feat" because never for a moment did he anticipate victory. Never theless. he conducted a strenuous campaign, touring in the country in the upper berth of a Pullman conducting a two weeks campaign for as little as $65.
 "The troubles for Roosevelt ,and. the country are just beginning" he said, fin the last four years the people were educated to kcik out Hoover. In the next four, they'll be educated to kick out Roosevelt.

 "Another encouraging thing shown by the election was the tre- mendous shifting in party alliance. It showed vast body of voters capable of drifting from one party to anodther as Raymond Clapper of the United Press so accurately pointed out in one of. his analysis. This tendency is encouraging and I look forward hopefully. to its further progress. The more people who become accustomed to leav-l ing their old political alliances at will, the more hope there is for eventual salvation.

Deposit Certificate Of Closed Banks
 Still Disputed
Atty Cassidy. Representing Mercbants Trust Co DepOsitors, Prevents Agreement on S4O,OOO De- posit Whereby S4,OOO Dividend Would Be Paid on It as Commercial Deposit

Merchants Trust Co.,, had com pleted his explanation of the agree ment reached between himself, and counsel for the receiver for the Sanditz Bank, when Attorney Cas- sidy made his objections.
 Mir Reeves reviewed the case, that has been before the court for several weeks, pointing out that the certificate was issued to the Sanditz & Traurig Bank upon re- ceipt of a personal note from Adolph Sanditz and indorsed by William Traurig. He said he first presented a claim to the courts ask ing permission to use whatever dividends materialized from the Merchants Bank, as a set off against the Sanditz note. The re- ceiver for the latter bank, claimed the certificate as preferred claim to be paid in full.
 Under the agreement reached, the certificate is to be considered a commercial deposit, on which a $4,00O dividend is due. The re- ceiver for the Merchants Trust withdraws it's claim for q set-off, and the receiver for the Sanditz Bank. withdraws it's claim for preference.
 Attorney Cassidy stated he had not been called into any conference on the matter, although represent ing several depositors. He claimed 1t Is a matter for the interest of depositors of the Merchants Trust Co and that they should be giveD consideration. He pointed out that 1t Is the only bank in the state that has not had a committee or. counsel appointed by the depositors to look after their interest. He said the bank has been in receiver ship almost a year and that there has been but one dividend paid on each side of the bank. He called the courts attention to the fact that when the certificate was de- posted and the note issued. no cash entered the proposition. He asked the court to continue the matter until depositors were acquainted with the proposed agreement. } Judge Baldwin asked MT Cas- sidy if he represented depositors, and when he answered in the af- firmative. Attorney Reeves said he had not entered an appearance for them. MT Cassidy said he had. The court continued the matter a week.

Norman Thomas In His First Interview
 Since The Election
More People Heard Him Than Ever Before Listened to Socialist Speaker, But He Didn't Get Biggest Socialist Vote

One encouraging thing, is that the people are becoming more edu- cated.
 "But don't think I'm satisfied, And don't think the next election will be a walkaway. I don't fore see success for socialism for some time to come. ButstI'm not going to quit. The other parties cam ptign only at election time, but we campaign all the time.
 "As to the democrats, they will ruin themselves" he exclaimed. How? By being their usual damned fool selves. They will wrangle and do nothing. Roose- welt will find it, almost impossible to control his large and unwieldly majority. He is a shrewd politician but the weakest of leaders. He has given hostages to fortune all along the line.

 Montreal - \ tale of Intestinal fortitudc" comes from two air. plane pilots forced down on a small lake near Prince Albert, Sask.
 The men,. Bill Jewett and Jim Fox. dropped on to the lake after the engine failed. They found a hole fin one of the pistons and couldn't figure a way to mend 1t until Jewett hit upon the plan of using native copper which was de- posted along the shore of the lake.
 After the engine was running again, the problem was to take of successfully. They noticed q nar- low place at the end of the lake. Here the water switched and dropped 400 feet Into a narrow gorge.
 Jewett headed for the falls. gave tho ship the gun and went over. The plane dropped sickeningIy for a second. but finally rose. The men made their base. 800 miles away, four hours later.

PHLOX.
DR.. L. H. Bailey in his "Cyclo

DR.. L. H Bailey in his "Cyclo
Of Horticulture" states that ther.
48-odd species In this genus, all ex
one Of which were found first In NoItn
America The name "phlox," derived
from the Greek word for flame" is,
indeed, applicable to a bed of these
snowy flowers. Hcme gardeners are
chiefly interested in three species
namely, Phlox subulata, the moss pink
of our rock gardens; p. Drummondi
the low-growing annual form, useful
wherever a bright mass Of color is de-
sired: and. greatest of all, p paniculata
and hybrids, which include the sterling
perennials now in bloom in our gardens.
Like most plants that are native, phloX
thriveS in spite OF hot weather and in
tense sunlight. provided the soil is kept
reasonably moist.
Perhaps no perennial is more worthy
Of a place in the garden than is phlox
because Of its profuSe bloom at time
when most Of the perennials are resting
from their task of Spring blooming.
The plants increase in size quite rapidly,
so that after two or three seasons 1t is
necessary to divide the clumps. Were

THE VEGETABLE
GARDEN.

In setting out celery IN the garden
it pays to place the plants in the bot
tom of a trench some three or four
inches deep. When the time comes to
draw the soil up to the plants to blanch
the leaves. the trench method of
planting saves much labor and, further
more, facilitates watering during the
critical stage of getting started. Celery
is subject to two or three leaf spot dis
eases. all of which, fortunately, may be
controlled by Bordeaux mixture. Some
seasons these spots cause no trouble,
other years they are serious enough to
require spraying.
Caulifiower must be blanched in order
to attain that desirable whiteneSs and
high quality characteristic Of this vege-
table. AS soon as the flower bud ap-
pears. the large outer leaves should be
drawn up over the head and tied with
a narrow strip of cloth or of raff1a.
Caulif1ower, like its relatives, the cab
bage and kale. enjoys cool weather
and reaches perfection in late Autumn.
Tomatoes often develop a hard, dry
rot at the blossom end just about the
time they reach maturity. This trou-
Bile, known technically as blossom end
rot, really is not disease in the true
sense because no fungi can be found
associated with its development. How
ever, blossom end rot is a serious
malady some years, causing heavy
losses. Spraying is Of no avail and
often the trouble disappears as readily
as it came. Generally, blossom end rot
is associated with dry seasons and
should not, therefore, be serious fac
tor this year.
The cucurbits, namely, the squash.
cucumbers and melons, do not figure
very heavily in the smaller home gar
dens, not because these plants are
undesirable. but because of difficulty
in growing successful crops of the latter
two. Cucumbers and melons may be
grown If sprayed regularly with Bor-
deaux mixture. There is justifiable
tendency to grow those kinds Of vege-
tables that require no regular spraying
and hence the vines are largely left out
of many vegetable gardens.
Popular demand plays quite a role In
the selection of varieties, irrespective of
individual merits. For example, red
f1eshed beets are much mere in demand
than light-1eshed varieties, and who
would think Of growing white tomatoes?
Yet there are such and they are very
good. Yellow -podded beans are more
desired than green podded kinds
although the latter are deemed better
favored by many. Thus fashion pre-
walls in the vegetable garden as well
on the street.

disease resistant, the tiger lily Is in a
class by itself among the true lilies.
Hemorocallis, or day lily, Is quite as

the tiger lily is a very free propagator
by virtue of the bulbils formed in the
axil of each leaf.

THE HOME GARDENER
CLAY SOILS.

One of the major difficulties in grow
ing a garden in greater part OF tne
local region Is to learn how to handle
the stiff clay soils which are so abun-
dant. For those who have come from
regions of sandy soils or workable
loans, the clays must present a. prop
lem. There are, however, certain meas
ures that greatly aid in the successful
handling of clays. First is the time
of working with reference to rainfall
or watering. There is short pcrlod
in the drying-out stage when clayS are
very workable, just after they nave
ceased to be sticky. Most gardeners
on clay have come to recognize this
stage and make the most OF 1t.
Secondly, clay soils can be improved
bv adding certain amendments. namely,
lime sifted ashes, stable manure, peat
and rotting leaves. Lime tends to pre-
vent the fine particles Of soil from
contracting and hard coal ashes have
much the same function. Lime, how
ever, has other functions in that 1t
changes the acidity of the soil, making
it more favorable for some plants and
less favorable for others, notably the
Iaurels, azaleas and rhodooendrons. Peat
moss is an excellent modif1er for clay
SOIL but is rather expensive for large
areas. In the small border or flower
bed it is very appropriate. Stable
manure, rotted down into uniform
black state, is the finest clay improver
of all if put on three or four inches
deep and spaded in to a depth of six
or eight inches. Again. such a treat
ment would be rather costly, but would
certainly make fine garden.
Last but not least, one comes to
cover crops, These afford relatively
inexpensive means of improving both
the condition and fertility Of clay soils,
especially If one grows COW peas, soy
drawback is that a cover crop delays
the use of the garden. Many home
gardeners compromise by growing both
a cover crop and a cultivated crop dur
ing a single year, which is quite pos
sible both in the flower and vegetable
garden

it not for some diseases which attack
the foliage the plant would be almost
perfect from a gardeners standpoint.
Mildew, a grayish- white. powderylike
fungus, often occurs on the leaves,
especially the Older leaves of crowded
plants Dusting the foliage with very
finely divided sulphur will help and the
tops should be cut to the ground in
late Autumn and the refuse burned.
Obviously, large clumpS suffering from
mildew should be divided in early Spring
and reset at greater distances to allow
better air movement. Another trouble
of perennial phlox Is known as leaf
blight. In this case the lower leaves
are attacked first, gradually dropping
so that the lower portion of the stem
becomes bare. About the only remedy
known to date is cultivation and fer
tilization, followed by destruction Of the
tops at the end of the season.
AS a rule. however, phlox can be
grown without much trouble and in
some of its improved varieties can easily
be the glory Of the Summer border
