IKE many truck operators, S. H. Bacon
IL assumed that heavy hauling job
called for heavy truck. Today, he knows
better! His own experience proves that
light, fast Ford VS. truck can and will
haul more materials in day than a larger,
slower truck-and at the same time keep
operating costs at rock-bottom.
During the four years this truck was in
service, it was driven Al, 700 miles and
hauled more than 100000 tons of sand
and gravel. Its operating costs, Mr.. Bacon
believes, were lower than that of any other
equipment he could have selected.
Why not measure Ford VS. truck

Steamship Line
May Change Route

NEW YORK, Nov. 81. (UP)-The
United States Lines has discussed
with the U. S. Maritime Commission
the possibility of placing its pas
senger liners on a New York to
Naples and Genoa run since the
northern European ports at which
they formerly called are in belliger-
ent zones, it was learned today.
In Washington the Maritime COM
mission said that formal application
for such a move involving the 24,000
ton luxury liners Washington and
Manhattan had not yet been receiv-
ed but it was indicated there that
such application would be made
soon, if, in fact, this had not al
ready been done. The President
Harding is another U. S. Lines pas
senger vessel, but much smaller
and older than these sister ships.
The italian governments permis-
sion also would be required but a
U. S. Lines official said this should
be easily obtainable because of the
routine nature of the request

Paper Says Nazis
'GIoat Over Guilt
In Bolivar Case

LONDON, Nov. 81. (UP)-Basing
the allegation on purported Ger
man broadcast, the Daily Mail said
today that the "Nazis freely ad-
mitted their guilt and even gloated
over the sinking of the Dutch liner
Bolivar with a loss of some 80 lives
after striking a mine.
The Mail said broadcast in Eng
lish from Hamburg, Cologne and
zeesen stations early today said:
"Germany's aim is to strike her
foes at sea. Britain Is in no position
to make Britain safe for her ships
or for neutrals in the waters sur
rounding the British Isles. The re-
suits are rather sad for neutral
ships.
Germany regrets this develop
ment as far as neutral ships are af-
fected, but she is unable to do any
thing about it. The harvest must
be reaped. Great Britain started the
war-a war which she is not able
to run in the way anticipated by
London"

relief clients will be taken from

Miss Martha Chickering, director
of social welfare, discussed with Oh
son the varying practices of county
supervisors in requiring old age aid
recipients to give liens on property.
She said uniformity of administra-

the legislature be asked to repeal
the provision and also drop any
claim to property left after death
of such persons, since recovery was
negligible.

said relief expenditures we're con-
fined to estimates and money ap-

the only unknown factor was whe-

waterfront workers in San Francis
co might go on relief but he believ-
ed even this number could be han

Thus assured of relief funds until
February /, the governor was ex-

Olson said he. would ask for new
revenue measures, another relief ap-
preparation, new provisions for in

less important measures. He said a
proposed long term building pro-

EASTER EGGS

The use/of eggs at Easter time fol-
lows custom of greatest antiquity
the egg having been considered in
widely separated pre-Christian my
thologies as the symbol of the resur-
rectlon. The mysterious develop
ment Of life in the egg has always
been wonder, and it is easy to see
how it might become a symbol of the
revival of nature and the springing
forth of life.
The Egyptians, Persians, Greeks
and many others regarded the secret
OF life as adhering within the egg.
1t was therefore accepted as the
token Of life. In connection with
the Christian celebration the egg
came to represent the symbol of
both life and death AS a little
chick comes out of the shell, so
Christ came forth from the tomb
Coloring eggs is very old prac-
tlce. The Jews early boiled their
eggs hard and decorated the shells.
Persians from ancient times have
colored their eggs The Norsemen
annually welcomed Easter, the god
dess identified with the Aurora
Borea1is (Northern Lights) in a fes-
tlval Of celebration featuring an egg
and rabbit as symbols of fecundity.
The survival of this custom, some
say, is our present Easter egg, tint
ed in imitation of the quivering
beams OF the Northern Lights.

TREATMENT WILL KILL PESTS
OF GLADIOLUS

Soaking gladiolus corms for three
hours in solution made by dis
solving one ounce of bichloride of
mercury corrosive sublimate) in a
small amount Zone quartz of boil
ing hot water and then diluting to
T1a gallons will kill thrips and scab
bacteria that have overWintered on
the corms According to Paul e.
Tilford and G. r. Neiswander of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion all gladiolus corms should be SO
treated before planting
A crock or wooden container must
be used, since bichloride of mer-
curry corrodes metals. After treat
ing all the corms that the solution
will cover, it is necessary to add one
third ounce of Dichloride to bring
used to treat an additional lot Of
corms This small amount should
be dissolved first in hot water and
then added to the bulk of the solu-
ton. Enough water should also be
added to bring the volume back to
71a gallons. Even with these pre-
cautions the solution should not be
used more than six or seven times
before it is discarded
Mercuric chloride is poisonous if
swallowed and should be used with
caution around children and live
stock.
Semesan, an organic mercury dis
irfectant, gives good results when
the corms are treated seven hours
in solution containing one ounce
of the material in three quarts OF
water.
1t is advisable to treat the entire
stock at once and then allow it 10
dry. When only a portion of the
