million when he died-a vast sum for
those early days. His example and
precepts did much to set the ambi.

BLACK SATIN VOGUE
EXTENDS TO HATS

Black satin's vogue for fall wear is
extended to hats in the newest dis
plays of fall millinery. Latest models
in the smarter shops show a wide va
riety. The very wide-brimmed hats
for dressier occasions are most often
found with a fiat crown. some of the
new models measuring only an inch
or two in depth. Their round. wide
brims are an irresistible temptation
to any brisk breeze.
High-crowped hats are plentiful
also, some of them with fairly good
sized brims, but most of these are dec
Grated with a cluster of flowers at the
base to soften the harsher lines.
An attractive model is of black vel
vet with a brim which dips over the
right eye. At this point at the base
of the crown is huge bunch of pink
and purple violets.
The younger things seem more like
" to revel in the small brimless mod
els. Berets that have more versatility
and can be pulled into all sorts of odd
angles already are giving proof of
greater popularity.

Made Jefferson President
Matthew Lyon, Irish Boy Who Was Sold for Yoke Of
Oxen and Was Congressman From Two States,
Kept Burr From White House.

Nearly two centuries ago, July IA,
1850, there was born in Ireland a
boy destined to become a big BUSH
ness man. to represent two of orr
states in congress and to cast the
deciding vote for a President of the
then unthought-of United States of
America. Mary Gilbert Smith writes,
in the Boston Globe.
His father. member Of a prom
inent family. was executed for his
part in the White Boys insurrec-
ton. His mother married again.
Young Matthew Lyon. studious and
enterprising, was well treated by his
stepfather. who was, proud and fond
of the boy.
But he had heard of the strange
new land beyond the seas and longed
to try his fortunes there. One morn
ing when he was, fourteen he bar
gained with sea captain to carry
him to the province of Connecticut in
return for his services as cabin boy.
He had a guinea which he had saved
from his pocket money. and he gave
this to the captain for safe-keeping
The captain hid him in the hold, so
that no one would find him before the
vessel sailed. and took the precaution
to lock him in Had he not done so,
young Matthews adventure would
have ended that same morning.
When his stepfather came seeking
him. and called to him effectionately

James Lyon was the eldest son of
Col. Matthew Lyon. The book is
printed on paper made in Colonel
Lyons mill and bound in leather

1t was James Lyon who published
at Fair Haven the paper in which
was printed Matthew Lyons article
attacking President John Adams.
which caused Colonel Lyons arrest
under the alien and sedition law He
VISA fined $500 and sentenced to four
months Imprisonment at Vergennes.
He was in Jail at the time of the
congressional election. but his con.
stituents rolled up so large major
ity for him that he was released to
return to congress. The largest
crowd assembled in Vermont in early
days sped him on his way. He ar
rived in time to cast the decisive vote
that made Thomas Jefferson Presi-
dent over Aaron Burr.
The restless spirit Of the pioneer
now urged Matthew Lyon to turn
from things accomplished to a new
country where everything was yet to
be done In Fair Haven he was at

enterprises, he went to Arkansas and
later to Kentucky, the next state aft

for the rest of his life, and from here
he was again returned to congress.

Radio May Be Weapon
in Pest determination


Several years ago the writer made
some preliminary tests on small
quantities of infested wheat with a
view to determining if radio methods
could be effectively used to extermi-
nate the eggs and larval forms which
may be concealed within the mate
rial, as well as the adult insects.
Thirty and six-meter waves were
used, the former of low capacity and
the latter of high capacity. The 30
meter low-capacity waves were effec-
tive in DISCRIMINATING adult insects in
small quantities Of wheat within a
period of about 30 seconds, but the
eggs later Matched out. With the 90
kilowatt, 6-meter waves, an exposure
of six seconds was sufficient to ex-
terminate eggs, larvae and adults.
The testing plant has been in oper-
alton for year and many kinds of
infested materials have been success
fully treated. including wheat, corn,
flower and garden seeds, tobacco,
spices, nuts. beans, peas. cocoa beans,
packaged and bulk milled cereals, and
so on.
Results of the writer's research
work indicate definitely that weevils
in all stages of their development,
from eggs to adults. can be exter-
minated without injury to the ger
minating properties of grain, or ap-
preciably affecting the moisture con-
tent. and without adversely affecting
the food value. There are indica-
tions that the terminating proper
ties of wheat and other seeds treated
may be enhanced.
Worms, mites and other infesta-
lions Of cocoa beans, spices, tobacco,
nuts, packaged cereals, and so on, can
be exterminated without injury to
the products treated. Where the
equipment is properly installed there
are no adverse effects upon persons
working or stationed in the vicinity
of the apparatus. Fl. Davis in the
