Brides Shun Kimonos.

Despite objections of parents. Jap
anese brides prefer to wed in western
clothing, and this season the custom
has grown to such an extent that
stores have placed much larger foreign
orders than hitherto. The foreign
bridal dress is far less expensive than
the ceremonial Japanese attire worn
only once. A Toxic dress expert ex-
plains that Nipponese girls look better
in western attire now than formerly
because they are growing taller. The
rate of growth of girls is greater than
that of boys. According to an army
investigation the average height of
japanese youths has gained an inch
and half in the last 25 years. Many
girls who would like to marry in west
ern gowns bow to the wishes of their
prospective mothers-in-la and wear
the traditional kimono costume.

CROP ROTATIONS A SIMPLE WAY
TO CONTROL DISEASE

Crop rotation is simple way to
keep plant diseases under control,
but one of the best, according to I'm
tied States Department of Agricul-
ture crop specialist.
Rotating a wilt resistant variety
of flax with small grains and corn is
one example. Flax, although grown
like small grain crop, belongs to a
family of plants widely separated
from the grass family to which
wheat, oats, barley, rye and corn be-
long. and is not attacked by the
same diseases that injure grains.
Flax has its own diseases such IS
dust wilt and leaf spot, but these in
turn do not attack small grains. A
variety of flax susceptible to wilt,
however, must be grown on clean
land, as ordinary rotations do not
destroy the wilt organizm in fiax-sick
soil.
Many diseases of cotton are check
ed by growing other crops. In cotton
fields in Texas, where root rot is SER
ious, losses may be reduced by ro-
tating with grain crops and by deep
tillage. Cotton wilt is one disease,
however, which has not been success
fully checked by changing crops
crops is an important supplemental
factor in decreasing wilt damage
and increasing yields. Wilt has been
found in a field that had not been in
cotton for several years.
Root knot of tobacco is checked by
rotating with peanuts, crotalaria,
oats or a natural weed fallow. Gran
vile wilt of tobacco is controlled by

medals for acts of noteworthy public
SERVICE" according to recent state
ment of the American Telephone and

individual silver medal winners and
sixteen groups of telephone employees
awarded bronze plaques performed
outstanding services in connection
with the flood emergency. One silver
medal winner got the award for
prompt and resourceful action in car
ing for seriously injured victims of
an automobile accident. Checks for
$3.50 each went to the Individual medal
winners.
Groups of employees working in
eleven communities served by the Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania
and four groups of employees of the

WORLD PEACE ONE OF BOY
SCOUT AIMS

The National Jamboree of the Boy
Scouts which closed last week brou-
ght more than $4,000 khaki-clad
youngsters from the United States
and "a foreign countries to Washing
ton in the largest youth gathering in
the history of the country.
The international significance of
the great convention was not over
looked, for DR.. James E. West, chief
Scout Executive, stressed "the spirit
and drive for world peace that is the
very foundation of the scout move
ment.'
DR.. West recalled the words of the
founders of scouting, Lord Robert
Baden-Powell of England, who de-
clares:
1--WE are brotherhood, A Scout is
a brother to every other scout. Where
there are 100000 Scouts in train
ing, there are probably 5000, 900
fellows in the population who have
been Scouts in their time and our
numbers are increasing year by year,
so that in a short time there will be
a considerable proportion of the pop
ulation' in every nation to whom the
idea of war with their brothers in any
country would be repugnant.

Commercial canning had it's begin
ming in Maryland and the State has
continued to hold high rank in that
industry. In 1895, Maryland ranked
fourth in acreage of principal truck
crops for canning with 133,260
acres, and second in farm value of
these crops with total valuation of
$5,553,000. The value of canned and
preserved fruits and vegetables and
products in the State is approximate
ly four times that amount.

Hampshire, for his courage and prompt
and intelligent action in saving lives
during the flood at Contoocook, New
Hampshire, and to John T. Steck, a
construction foreman of the Southern
New England Telephone Company of
New Milford, Connecticut, for per-
forming similar service.
In both cases the telephone men rode
out on cable lines with flood waters lap
ping beneath them, to effect the rescue
of persons caught in positions of peril
by the rising river. The third indi-
vidual award went to Robert Hide
brand, toll repairman of the South
western Bell Telephone Company at
Fulton, Missouri. Hildebrand, round
ing sharp curve near Boonville, Mis-
souri,, came upon serious automobile
accident. Putting out warning flags
he climbed pole and with his test
set called nearby town for a doctor
and ambulances. While waiting he
gave first aid to the five injured occu-
pants of the car.
Vail medals are provided from a
fund created in memory of Theodore
N. Vail, who at the time of his death
in 1920 was chairman of the board of
directors of the American Telephone

phone employees throughout the
United States which conspicuously
illustrate Mr.. Wallis ideals of public
service.

self to visitors today after a
nights sound sleep.
DR.. Picard barely saved him
self yesterday when a cluster Of
the small balloons that had car
ried him about 1000 feet above
ground suddenly burst into flame
as he was about to land. He
jumped free, but the gondola was
destroyed and all the scientific in
Struments in it.
Saved Notebook
Close friends, however, said that
his notebook had been saved and
from the information in it, DIR.
Picard hoped to convince hackers
of the worthiness Of his new
scheme to penetrate the strato-
sphere.
His flight was merely intended
to test his radically new design
for balloon construction. It was
made up of two clusters Of 40
balloons about two feet in dia-
meter, secured one bunch below
the other.
For descending, DR.. Picard had
an arrangement Of dynamite caps
which he planned to set off and
thus cut away one or more Of
the balloons as he wished.
In coming down, however, near
Lansing. Iowa, about 125 miles
south of here, the craft took a
sudden dip while passing over a
tree.
The gondola was finally caught
just q few feet above ground. DR.
Picard decided to blast lose the
upper cluster Of balloons.
Flames Destroy Ship
The explosion ignited the lower
cluster also and q curtain Of flame
cascaded over the gondola. How
DR.. Picard escaped at all, not even
he himself knew. He said later ne
just jumped and ran as the high
ly inflammable hydrogen gas in
the small balloons guShed fire
over his ship.
Speaking for her husband, Mrs.
Picard said later he was elated by
the performance Of the balloon in
the air and hoped soon to try to
pierce the upper reaches Of the
sky in a similar type Of craft with
1000 small balloons instead OF
the 80 he used this time.
