the basis of the laboratory findings ar
engagements are made for further

or for requiring the washing of fruit

this procedure and excellent results
have been secured.
Records for the current year show
that 373 specimens of apples from SO
orchards were examined for spray res

rectly from orchards, 241 We're found
to contain less than one one-hun-

over the amount allowed and it was
necessary for about one dozen or
chards to make provisions for washing
the fruit. Fruit from these orchards
was examined after washing and was
found low in residue. In a few other
orchards, in which occasional samples
were found to show high residue, fire.
quent rains reduced the residue to
low amount and no special treatment
was required other than wiping, etc.
Through the cooperation of the
growers and Federal and State agen-

generally been found in satisfactory

concerned. Because of the very gen
eral use of sprays throughout the
country it is, however, always advisa-
bic for purchasers to wash fruit thor

MUST EXAMINE FRUIT FOR
CHEMICAL SPRAY RESIDUE
Is One OF Many Duties Added
To Department of Health

The custom of spraying fruit trees
with chemicals to protect the growing
fruit from insect enemies has added
new duty to departments of health
the examination of fruit for left
over spray residue containing arsenic
or other dangerous substances. If
more than very slight trace of ar
senic is found on the fruit the regula-
tons of the Federal Government will
not permit marketing or shipment of
the fruit. The ways by which this
new duty has been met in Maryland,
so far as the apple industry is con-
cerned, are described by Mr.. A. l..
Sullivan, Chief of the State Bureau
of Food and Drugs, as follows:
"Sincc 1880, the Bureaus of Food
and Drugs, and Chemistry of the Mary
land State Department of Health,
have given special attention to the ex-
animation of apples for the purpose
of determining the amount of spray
residue present and seeing that fruit
offered for sale shall be relatively low
in residue and in compliance with ac-
cepted standards. Conditions in Mary
land are more favorable than in some
other states because orchardists as
rule do not spray SO heavily, and fur
Their, there is usually a fair amount
of rainfall which removes much of the
residue before the fruit is marketed.
Conferences are held each year
with the entomologist and the direc-
tor of the inspection service of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service. The State entomologist has
outlined spray schedule for Mary
land and apple growers are urged to
follow this schedule. The inspection
service, under the direction of S. B.
Shaw, secures specimens of apples
from representative orchards prior to
harvesting. These samples are sub
mitted to the chemical laboratory of

Smell, Republican leader Of the House:
Representative Wadsworth. Represen-
tative Hamilton Fish, and many
others, have decreed the end Of Mr..
Macy as State chairman and party
leader. They apparently believe that
once Mr.. Macy has been ousted, his
influence will wane and the g. o. p.
may present again q solid front
against the Democratic foe and the
New Dealers. Mr.. Macy, however, is
not without followers and the fight is
not yet at an end.
The dissension in Republican ranks
in New York State this year is making
hard game even harder for the G.
o. P. But the row appears to have
been inevitable. Mr.. Macy has sought
to soft-pedal Republican opposition to
the Roosevelt New Deal and to fight
the election this year ON State issues
alone. The old guard leaders, on the
other hand, have been intent on max
ing a serious attack on the New Deal.
This determination of the old guard
and of Mr.. Wadsworth-not to
advance the candidacy of Wadsworth
for Governor, but to turn to Mr.. Moses,
is likely to be interpreted as meaning
that the old guard has been impressed
with the lack of strength an out-and-
out conservative can muster on elec-
ton day Of this year.
Mr.. Moses may look like veritable
Moses to the old guard leaders. The
interesting question is whether he will
look like Moses to Mr. Macy. Ger
tainly the G. o. P. in New York needs
some one to lead 1t out of the wilder
ness.

Stephens and Bilbo became necessary.
Mr.. Bilbo has appealed to the mass
Of the people in Mississippi. He has
attacked the capitalists, whom he
terms "cannibalistic" He has prom
ised to raise more hell" In the Senate
than Huey Long. That Is quite prom
ise. It will be interesting to see
whether his hell raising" will be di-
rected against Senator Pat Harrison,
his colleague, chairman Of the Senate
Finance Committee, a veteran in de-
bate and high in his party's leadership.
Senator Long has crossed swords with
Senator Harrison on occasion, when
bitter words have fitted through the
Senate chamber. Bilbo probably is no
more to the taste of Senator Harrison
than is Long. But Mr.. Harrison has
him on his hands now and must make
the best of him.
Not all the efforts of the anti-Bilbo
crowd in Mississippi could renominate
Senator Stephens, who has been a sup
porter of the Roosevelt program.
Stephens has had a reputation for
independence and courageous action
during his twelve years in the Senate
and eight years in the House Of Rep
resentatives, but he is too conservative
for the majority of the voters in Mis-
sissippi this year. 1t begins to look
as though 1884 would go down in the
political history of the country as a
radical year, if what has happened in
the primaries Of Louisiana, Mississippi
California and other States is a
criterion.

Mississippi's Gift.

The Mississippi rapier, Theodore G..
Bilbo, apparently is coming to the
Senate. 1t might be more correct to
refer to the new Democratic nominee
for the seat held by Senator Stephens
as the Mississippi cut-and-thrust
sword. His attacks are swift and
hard. Senator Huey P. Long, Louisi-
ana self-styled kingfish, may have a
kindred soul alongside of him in the
Upper House when Bilbo takes place
on the floor of the Senate.
Bilbo for more than twenty-five
years has mixed in the political pot
of Mississippi He was first elected
to important Office in 1912, when he
became Lieutenant Governor of the
State BY 1916 he was running sue
cessfully for Governor. He won a
second term as Governor in 1928.
Since the laws of Mississippi do not
permit an incumbent to succeed HIM
self in office, he had to drop out OF
the race in 1882. He was given an
Office under the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration paying him ST.
500 a year. If the political leaders
in the State believed that at last
Bilbo had been shelved, they found
themselves mistaken. He tired of
clipping newspapers for the A. A. A.
and last February declared himself
in the race for the Senate. In a
three-cornered fight for the Demo-
cratic nomination he ran second, close
behind Senator Stephens, while Rep
resentative Collins was third. Under
the Mississippi law a rma-off between

A Moses ?

Any lingering trace of doubt that
publican party in New York must be
removed by the vitriolic letter sent by
w. Kingsland Macy to the delegates
who will attend the party's State
convention September 27. Mr.. Macy
is State chairman. Many of the old
Republican wheel horses do not like
Mr.. Macy or anything about him.
What Mr.. Macy now says about them
fills a column. One of the least un-
kind things he has charged is that the
old guard Republicans are merely
the tools of the public utilities. He
announced that he would go to the
convention and fight for the nomina-
ton of Judge Samuel Seabury, re-
former, independent Democrat. and
ardent foe of Tammany, and would
strongly oppose the nomination OF
James w. Wadsworth, former Senator
and now a member of the House.
While Mr.. Macy was issuing his
diatribe, the old guard Republicans
met and agreed to put forward as a
gubernatorial candidate Robert Moses,
who is park commissioner in the ad-
ministration of Mayor La Guardia.
Mr.. Moses is willing to run. Indeed,
he was at the meeting. In politics he
has quite record as an independent,
although he has continued to be affili-
ated with the Republican party. In
1912 he was a Bull Mooser, supporting
the late President Theodore Roosevelt
in the campaign of the Progressive
party that year. At one time he was
secretary of State under former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith. The determination
of the old guard to put Mr.. Moses
forward for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation came as surprise.

To keep the paths Of knowledge clear
For teacher, dear, may wisely speak

Glory of the Firmament.

From the Louisville Courier journal.
Code restrictions on the salaries OF
movie stars have been removed. Sol.
Rosenblatt, division administrator.
made an excursion into the Hollywood
armament, studied the galaxy at close
range, and reported that "a star is
worth as much as the public can be
led to think he (sic) is worth by pay
ing to see him" Advocates of the
limitation should h&ve sent a blind
man out there to hear the arguments.
The decision, nevertheless, rests
solidly on the axiom that a laborer is
worthy of his "box-ofdce pull" There
is dramatic art and there is the show
business. Producers are in the show
business. They make pictures to sell
and exhibitors buy them to "sell out. !"
A hit is invariably initiated till it loses
its drawing power. A popular star is
featured till the public Is tired. So
long as one star exceedeth another in
glory producers make their profit from
exploiting that one. When . star
wanes they hire another.
But movie stars are not raw ma
terial fabricated into marketable
products. They are human. The pro-
ducers furnish the medium of distri-
button through which their physical
endowments, talents and hard work
reach the public market. Their time
upon the screen is brief. They must
earn while they can. Producers can
60 on making money of the popularity
of other stars indefinitely. The public
prefers to see its money 60 to those
who entertain it rather than into
unearned increment-to the artist in
stead of the speculator. Nobody is 50
deluded as to believe that the saving
on stars salary would be transmitted
through the ganglia Of producing and
distributing corporations to reduce the
price Of seats.

Overcrowded Schools-Again.

Another record enrolment in the
Washington schools at the opening of
the Fall term has jammed a number
of the schools beyond normal capacity
perpetuating the evil Of staggered
hours in two of the high schools and
creating unwieldy, diversified classes
in many of the junior and elementary
schools. Such conditions, faced at
the opening of the school term, may
be ameliorated in some degree as the
school authorities are able to make
transfers to less congested buildings.
But as the normal increase Of the
next few weeks is expected to send
the school population to new heights,
there is little comfort in the prospect.
The worst evil, of course, is in the
large, diversified classes in the elemen-
tary and junior high schools. Teach
ers cannot be expected to fulfill
their responsibilities when overcrowd-
ing prevents anything approaching in
dividual instruction. Education, under
such conditions, assumes some of the
characteristics of aSsembly-line, mass
production. The standards of educa-
ton, if not the quantity, fall.
Part of the difficulty faced by the
authorities now results from failure
in the past several years to plan ade-
quately, through early acquisition of
sites and building development, for
the rapid growth of school population
that was forecast. School construction
here, as in other cities, Jagged during
the depression, and for several years
to come the children will suffer the
consequences. 1t takes years to build
a school in Washington, and the bud
getting authorities in the past have
taken the view that before a new
school can be authorized the need for
the school must be shown by the en-
rollment figures. There has been no
consistent development Of a policy of
anticipating school population growth
by provision of schools in advance.
One of the forceful demonstrations
of the budget hearings held by the
Commissioners has been the reiterated
demand of citizens for adequate school
appropriations. In necessarily curtail-
ing the large expenditures proposed by
the department heads in their pre-
liminary requests, the Commissioners
will of course take into consideration
the fact that school development has
been postponed from year to year
until conditions will soon become in
tolerable, unless a program of school
construction is undertaken imme-
diately. This program is undoubtedly
the most important single element Of
the 1886 budget.

The Soviet in the League.

Entry of the Soviet Union into the
League of Nations, after election by
an overwhelming majority Of member
states. is an event Of wide interna-
tiona1 significance. 1t does not and
cannot automatically guarantee that
warless future which is the cardinal
purpose and underlying aim Of the
League, but it fortifies the general
foundations of that peace structure
which Geneva is so laboriously striv-
ing to erect and maintain.
Germany having deserted the League
and recently refused to join in an
Eastern Jocarno." the adhesion Of
the Soviet to the international or
SANITATION plainly forges a new link
in the chain which is being drawn
around the Na1 Reich for the pur-
pose of curbing its expansionist ambi-
tions. There were pointed refer
ences to both German and japanese
militarist tendencies in the maiden
speech which Soviet Foreign Commits
sar Litvinoff addressed to the League
Assembly on Tuesday AS a perma-
nent member of the League Council,
the Soviet is in position Immediately
and influentially to instigate action
at Geneva designed to unite the
League states against acts of aggres-
sion by Germany in Europe or by
Japan in the Far East-acts which
either threaten the security of the
Communist state or menace peace in
general. To assure herself League
support in a moment of peril was, of
course, not the least of the Soviet S
motives for going to Geneva.
While the government controlled
press. speaking in the official voice of
Moscow, welcomes the Soviet's admis-
sion to the League, it is noteworthy
that 1t emphasizes the necessity Of
continued dependence on the Red
Army and unrelaxed preparedness as
the country's principal bulwarks
against adventurous inperialists. "
In this respect the Soviet adheres to
the policy of the capitalist powers" :"
which dominate the League and which,
while avowing faith in its peace
preserving capacity and in Locarno
pacts, are careful to see that their
own defensive establishments are kept
at the acme of efficiency.
The United States consistently alb
stains from any thought of joining
the League of Nations, though CO.
operating with it in many fields. nota-
bly, that of disarmament. The Ameri-
can people, nevertheless, view only
with genuine qualification such de-
velopments as the Soviet's entry into
the League, which tend to enhance
Geneva's prestige and power in the
realm of world peace. The accession
OF Europe's largest and most populouS
country, with territory and interests
comprehending both the West and the
East, strengthens the Leagues author
ity in its chosen domain, and that is
a consummation in which the whole
world can rejoice.

the prominent newspapers of the

reports 3-to-1 pro-New Deal senti-
ment in its own typical section Of

the belief that the trend Is State

were carried by Herbert Hoover in
