responsibility it was to hold the
Confederacy together behind the
lines. He shows the influence ex-
erted by the Deep South and the
underlying antagonism between the
nouveaux riches planters of the
Mississippi Valley and the old aris-
tocracy of Virginia and the Caro-
linas. In order of their Importance
he draws brilliant portraits of the
men in power; jeff Davis, high
strung, imperious, and lonely; the
fiery wasp, Vice President Alex
ander H. Stephens; Judah P. Ben
jamin, the imperturable Jew;
Toombs, the rambunctious; the col
orful diplomats, Yancey, Mason and
Slidell, and a host Of others. He
points up the fantastic, often path
etc, efforts of the Southerners
abroad to bring about conspiracy
in Mexico and recognition in Lon
don and Paris. He shows the
grandiose negotiations with Juarez,
Napoleon III, and Lord John Rus
sell. He traces, dollar by dollar,
the fatal mistakes in the cotton
policy, the vice of the paper cur
rency, and the steadily increasing
destructiveness Of the Federal
blockade. He discloses the parlor
intrigues in which the women play
ed their part, and he demonstrates,
in touching and very human terms
how that fierce individuality with
which the States seceeded from the
union in its turn prevented the uni
flying and wholehearted action
without which no new nation could
hope to survive.
Here, then, is a fascinating blend
Of biography and historical nara
tive, now intimate and appealing
as the record is drawn from the
diaries, letters and family memoirs
of the South; now objective and
tragic as the historian Eliminates
those forces which opposed each
other beneath the surface. At last
we can appreciate the men and the
motives which, taken together,
make the rise and fall of the Con-
federacy such a fabulous and many
sided story.

AN OLD CAPTIVITY
By Shute

Donald Ross was a good aviator
out Of work. When the archeolo-
gist, Cyril Lockwood, proposed that
Ross fly him to Greenland for an
aerial survey, of certain ruins, Ross
had his doubts.
And to make things more diff
cut, there was Alix. Maybe she
was Lockhead's daughter, but an
expedition by air from England to
Greenland was going to be difficult
enough for one man to handle even
without the complications of an ex-
ira passenger, a girl-and an un.
friendly girl at that.
Ross agreed finally, and plans
were mapped out-Scotland, Ice
land, Greenland; then, the survey
completed, to Halifax and down the
coast to New York.
This is the story of the expedi-
ton. 1t is the story of a man of

The rise and fall of the Confed-

and valor that we have lost sight
of those wealthy planters, those
State-right senators and implusive
politicians, who planned the Rebel
lion and who as Cabinet officers,
governors, diplomats, and business
men, dedicated their brains and
their private fortunes to the Lost
Cause. In this vivid and long need

did cast.
This robust, romantic drama
casts Alice Faye in her most col
orful role as the fiery belle of the
waterfront who fell headlong for
handsome Robert Fulton-and went
after him, while the whole brawl-
ing waterfront cheered her on.
MacMurray is seen as the burly
shipbuilder engaged to build the
Clermont, after Fulton's model for
the first steamboat; Greene is seen
as the dashing inventor himself;
and blonde Brenda Joyce has the
role of the lovely girl who loved
him, helped him to attain his dream
in the face of ridicule, and who
later became his wife.
Others prominently featured in
the cast are Andy Devine, Henry
Stephenson and Fritz Field.

Fred MacMurray and Madeleine

time, prove that they are among
the screens peers when it comes
to romantic teams, in Paramount's
Honeymoon in Ball." a gay, rom
antic comedy, which plays at the
Oxford Theatre Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday.
Using a smart New York depart
ment store, Nassau and Bali for
background, the picture casts the
ethereally lovely Miss Carroll as a
department store executive who is
so wrapped up in being competent
and independent that she has no
time for romance. Fred is cast as
the young man who is the disturb
ing factor in her little scheme of
things-a reckless, carefree adven-
turer who has just returned from
Bali, and is more or less convinced
that woman's place is in the home
and in a mans arms. Allan Jones,
co-starred with Fred and Miss Car
roll, is cast as an opera singer who
is also ardently interested in Miss
Carroll.

/ SPRAY TOEND
APPLE FALLS
Wastage Cut By so Pee
Cent, Saving Growers
Millions
By FRED BAILEY

UNITED Press STAN Corres0ndentE
Washington, Aug. 8 - (UP -
Horticulturists of the Department
of Agriculture bureau Of plant in
dustry have developed new spray
which it Is said viii prevent TO q
large degree the dropping Of apples
Immediately before harvesting.
The discovery, comprising growth
substances such as napthaleneace-
tic acid and nathalenceactimi
will result in the saving of millions
Of dollars to apple growers, acs
cording to plant industry experts.
Horticulturists said the spray
has been tested extensively IN APP
pie orchards for two years with
amazing results" It does not
damage the tree and leaves no
harmful residue on the fruit, they
said. Droppings were reduced by
more than so per cent.
Idea 4 Years Old
Growth substances came mt
practical use about four years ago
when it was discovered that root
cuttings which were difficult to
root could be induced to produce
growing shoots when soaked IN a
solution containing the substance.
The scientists noticed that pc
tiole stubs remaied attached to
the cuttings abnormally long. Last
summer and fall the experiment.
was conducted on an orchard
scale. The spray consisted OF one
teaspoonful Of the substance 70
200 gallons Of water.
Using to Is gallons Of water TO
the tree, scientists found the aver
age drop Of Stayman winesap trees
was 23.4 per cent on sprayed trees,
compared with 61.4 per cent on
unsprayed trees. With York I'M
perial the percentages were 14.l
and 40.7.
The tendency for apples to drop
Is a characteristic Of early varie-
ties, but also Is frequent occur
renee with midseason and late
varieties. At the fruit approaches
the proper maturity and color for
harvesting, the danger Of loss from
dropping increases. A DISASTROUS drop
may occur overnight.
Effects Wear Away
On most varieties the effect OF
the spray was found to persist for
two or three weeks. With the Nc
Intosh variety, however, the effect
diminishes after eight or nine
days. Best results were obtained
with this variety when tn espray
was delayed until the drop started.
With most other varieties, the
best results were obtained when
the spray was applied just before
the drop began. The effectiveness
was influnced by the amount Of
spray used and the temperature
Immediately following the spray
The spray takes effect more read
lily under warm temperatures.
There is no visible residue left
on the fruit. and tests with labora-
tory animals proved that the spray
material Is not toxic even in large
amounts. Plant bureau officials
estimated the cost of the spray at
about q cent gallon.

Dies at so
Timothy l.. Chapman, 90, one Of
the oldest persons residing in Wa
terville, died Tuesday at the Me-
LELAND Nursing Home on Perkins
avenue. Committal services will be
held this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at
the Hillside cemetery, Cheshire. Rev.
j. H. Bainton will offlciate.
Mr.. Chapman was born in the
southern section Of Waterbury, but
spent great part Of his life in
Cheshire. He worked in the Post
Office there, and owned a jewelry
store in that town. AS a young
ster he attended South Center
school, and later went to the Chesh-
ire Academy, where one Of his in
structorS was DR.. Sanford Horton,
with whom he later travelled abroad
visiting England and France.
While living in Waterville Mr..
Chapman had made many friends,
who have often gathered near him
and listened to tales Of the time
when people travelled from Cheshire
to Waterbury in stage coaches,
which were driven by four horses.
The time required to cover the dis
lance, as told by Mr.. Chapman, was
approximately one hour and fifteen
minutes and the fare was about
seventy-flve cents. The stage
coaches would accommodate twelve
persons and the driver, and the
baggage was carried on top.
Mr.. Chapman was extremely alert
and would spend hours each day
reading the newspapers. One Of his
wishes was to reach his ninetieth
birthday, June IA, 1888, however his
good health carried him on past his
ninety-second year. He leaves sew
eral relatives in Waterbury.

The weekly Bible study hour OF
the Waterville Union church will
