On Sugar Bowl Eve
Tennessee IS Foyorite
In New Orleans, Wild
Over Grid Classic
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31-Two
football teams with 20 miles of gulf
coast between them, but nary an
alibi. were ending the year and their
practice simultaneously today in the
quiet Of their respective camps as
enthusiasm over their meeting in
the Sugar Bowl classic here tomor-
row slowly worked its way toward
mass hysteria.
At Bay City. Miss, an apprehenslve
Frank Leahy was to send his Boston
College Eagles through mild work
out to brighten any dull spots and
then prepare to spend New Year
Eve worrying in all dimensions about
what might happen tomorrow.
Eastward along the coast at Edge
water Park. Bob Neyland and his
confident Tennessee Vols were to GO
through a similar routine, with the
veteran Neyland, to whom bowl
games have become just an extern
sion department of the regular
schedule, forsaking Leahy's worry
ing role.
Both Teams in Top Shape.
With the recovery of Gene Good
reault, star Boston end, from knee
injury, both squads are in top shape
physically. The Eagles, since their
arrival, have been high-spirited and
kittenish, a fact taken as a good
omen by their followers. The Vols
have been businesslike, which their
fans also view with encouragement.
Meanwhile this alWays-festive city
was beginning to look like all the
county fairs rolled into one as trains,
buses, automobiles and boats hourly
disgorged hundreds of rabid fans.
Hotel lobbies resembled mass meet
ings; streets, from the narrow, an
tique French quarter to the broad
expanse of the main business dis
trict, were thronged with good
natured, jostling crowds, promising
New Year Eve without a roof.
From all lips came one question:
who do you like?"
1t came with a soft, Dixie accent,
or with a crisp Down-East twang.
The answer always brought an argu-
ment.
Tennessee Heavy FavOrite.
Oddly enough, except for the rabid
Tennessee fans and the equally
rabid Bostonians, the choices were
usually based ON a cold analysis of
each team, with Tennessee usually
coming out on top in this kind of
competition. So much so, in fact,
that the Vols early today were rated
2-5 favorites, although the margin
was expected to narrow as the
Northerners increased in number.
Odds or no odds, the belief was
general that $1,000 spectators would
see a great, and possibly free-scor-
ing, battle between two undefeated
teams tomorrow
The two squads were to remain
at their camps tonight, arriving
here about headache time tomorrow
morning. The weatherman has
promised sunny skies.

IT suppose you know" he said
quietly, that John Coventry was

his cabin about two hours ago"
II don't see what that has to do
with me-" Myra answered. She sat
stiff1y upright in her wooden chair,
her hands folded rigidly in her lap.
Perhaps this will help to ex-
plain" Storm said. He took the
newspaper clipping out of his pocket
and showed it to her. AS her eyes
fell on the picture Myra started
visibly, completely, losing her brittle
pose Of self-control.
Where did you find this?' she
asked through stiff lips.
I'm a notebook belonging to John
Coventry, and I suggest that you
begin at the beginning and tell me
everything you know about the
case"
Il don't know anything about it."
Myra answered. Il have nothing
at all to say on the subject"
That's a very rash attitude for
you to take" Storm said, especially
in view of the fact that certain evl-
dence in my possession shows that
you were at the scene of the crime
this morning."

seen Stephen Ballard before that
morning."
NO. That was the truth. Actu-
ally, I had never seen him before.
But I had heard a great deal about
him from my brother"
"Just' what was the nature Of
your brothers dealings with Bal
lard?"
He helped him to form the Sill
yer Lode Mining Co. You see, Bill
had gone out West to make his
fortune. He thought there was still
plenty of gold in the mountains.
And he did succeed in finding a few
veins of very valuable minerals.
Then he met Stephen Ballard, who
talked him into investing his money
In a company that he and Bruce
Cameron were thinking of forming"
who was this Cameron chap?"
He was the man with whom Bal
lard had made the discovery of
Hurricane Cavern. They had been
friends since childhood, which made
Ballards treatment Of him later on
all the more diseraceful. Bill always
used to say that for all his pompous
dignity Stephen Ballard was one of
the cleverest crooks living"

no response, but mufned sound
from within led him to believe that
the cabin was occupied. He put his
finger on the bell and kept it there.
The shrill ringing reverberated
through the house After long in
terval Charlotte Paige came to the
door.
What do you want?" she asked,
looking pathetically frightened.
I'D like to talk to your friend
Myra Watkins" Storm said, STEP

living room.

lotte Paige answered, but the finality
of her words was discounted by the
trembling of her lips She's not
feeling well today and she's in no
condition to see any one"
She'll have to see me- Storm
said firmly. She was strong enough
to 60 out walking this morning and
she can't possibly have gone into a
decline in such short time"

But since chance had led him to

oughly than before. At the actual
scene of the struggle he discovered
nothing which could even remotely
be regarded as evidence. But lit
tie further down the path his eyes,
now keenly alert, caught sight of an
infinistesimal fragment of black
wool clinging to one of the spiky
branches of the shrubbery beside the
road.
Not many modern women wore

that Myra Matkins had clutched

And now this fragment of black

had shared on the thorny roadside

RED sQUILL EFFECTIVE IN GET
TING RID OF RATS

While 1t is desirable and possible
to rat-proof newly constructed build
ings and keep rats out, once they
get in, other means of dealing with
them must be resorted to. According
to DR.. e. N. Cory, State Entomology
list, starvation is the first precaution,
keeping all foods in secure contain
ers and taking the greatest care that
nothing attractive to rats is left
about
Red squill poison bats are edfec-
tive against rate. Several kinds of
bait mixtures are used, because the
the rats become wary of any one
food. 1t is a good idea to ''prebait,"
that is, use various mixtures without
poison for a night or two and then
set up poison stations where the rats
are known to feed and live. About
a level tablespoonful of bait is used
in one spot. 1t may be spread on
small rounds of cardboard, which
are easy to gather up and destroy;
or put into paper bags, with the tops
teid. Care should be used to keep
pets out of the way when rat poi
son is about, and not to use the
bats above the ground floor of al
dwelling. The formulas given below
will not kill cats, dogs or poultry,
but are likely to to make the mann
mails sick and cause them to vomit.
Formulas L: Red squill oven-dried
powder l ounce; lean hamburger
meat, Is ounces; cornmeal, ounce.
Mix the dry poison with the corn
meal first, then add the meat and
as much water as needed to make a
sticky, but not wet, mixture.
Formula 2; Red Squill, ounce;
canned salmon or mackerel, Is oun-.
ces; oatmeal, l ounce; and water
las needed.
Formula g.: Red squill, ounce;
corn meal, 16 ounces. Mix thorough
ly and add sufficient water.
By changing formulas frequently
the natural suspicion of the rats is
allayed.

Highway Building Costs
Not Limited to Surface

What is a road? Motorists, de-
spite their constant use of highways,
might have a difficult time answer
ing that question.
Evidence indicates that the aver
age motorist considers a road, from
the standpoint of construction cost,
as slab of surfacing material over
which he drives his car. He ig-
nores the elements represented in
the right-of-way and the establish
ment of grades and laying of base
materials.
The fundamental factors are fairly
permanent; in other words, not SUBJ
ject to destruction nor to mainte-
nance and replacement costs. The
right-of-way, for instance, is paid
for once and then may be forgotten.
If the grade is established to con-
form to official standards-and it
must be if it is partially financed
by federal aid funds-then it, too, is
subject to but a single initial cost.
With road experts making enor-
nous progress in their efforts to
salvage base materials, about the
only factor which is subject to de-
terioriation and wear is the actual
surface. If the motorist thinks of
this feature as the entire road, he
may get false impression of the
longevity of the highway which he
builds, although modern expensive
surfaces do show vastly improved
durability.
In connection with their advocacy
of a better comprehension of what
actually constitutes a road, highway
officials would have another aspect
of highway life more thoroughly I'M
derstood. 1t is that relating to the
effect of traffic upon surface de-
struction. The most searching of
all investigations conducted by fed
eral scientists reveal that it is not
the service it is called upon to rem
der so much as the climatic condi-
tions which it must resist that de-
termines the degree of maintenance
that a given highway will require.

INSECTS ACTIVE ALL THE YEAR
In HOMES WITH MODERN
HEATING
HEATING

The modern furnace or central
heating" is the cause of one trouble
that was unknown in the days Of un-
warned bedrooms and icy clothes
closets. The even heat in modern
houses enable many insect pests to
remain active, SO that we may be
troubled at this time of year with
insect fabric pests, usually clothes
moths, carpet beetles, or silverfish;
biting insects, like fleas or bedbugs;
las we'll as many food pests, particul-
arly cockroaches, ants, or cereal
weevils..
No longer are these insects frozen
out. Pleasantly warmed houses give
them a chance to thrive and multi
ply. They hatch eggs more times a
year than when the household temp
eratures were colder, according to
Dr.. George S. Langford, specialist in
insect control for the University Of
Maryland Extension Service.
One of the newest of the insects
is the silverfish or "slicker," which
seems to have been doing increasing
damage in the past 10 years. The
silverfish is a tiny, lively, gray, SCALE
covered, soft insect that feeds on
paper and wallpaper, book-bindings,
Starchy and sweet foods, and on thin
fabrics stiffened by starch. You can
see them scurrying for cover as you
open an unused store-room or closet.
They can be controlled by poison
ed bait from sodium fouride, or by
using pyrethrum powder.
DR.. Langford points out that
these and other insects, together
with their remedies, are described in
a new series of leaflets which may be
obtained from the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. Leaflets in the series
are 144-L, Cockroaches; 145-L.
Clothes Moths; 146-L, Bedbugs;
147-L, House Ants; 149-L, Silver
fish; and 1921, How to Control
Fleas.

Panama City

Panama City on the Pacific is
filled with fine old churches of the
Spanish Colonial era, moss-covered
forts and battlements and historic
buildings. The hotels, however, are
new and modern. In addition to
the canal, with its ever changing
scene of water-borne traffic, the gay
life and round of parties with the
military and the navy crowd when
ships are in and the excitement of
the carnival season, there is plenty
of time for peaceful repose along the
miles of beaches. Then there is
fishing, both near the mainland and
out among the Cocos islands in the
Pacific. Planes and fast modern
ships have brought Panama almost
to the back door Of the United
States and its natural advantages
have made of it one Of our most
popular tropical recreation resorts.

F Fertilizer Supplies
Assured Despite War

In contrast to the acute shortage OF
fertilizer materials suffered at the be-
ginning of the last European war, the
present purchasing season for ferti-
lizer finds the country prepared with
adequate supplies for this years crops.
CAT the beginning of the last World
War an immediate deficiency of nitro
gen carriers occurred" said Charles j..
Brand, Executive Secretary and Treas
urer of The National Fertilizer Asso-
citation. "There was an almost total
absence of potash. Although there
was plenty of phosphate rock, there
was shortage of sulphuric acid need
ed to make superphosphate.
"When war disrupted shipping from
1914 to 1918, nitrogen materials for
fertilizer became scarce, as we were
once bound to Chile for nitrates," said
Mr.. Brand. "Today, we not only have
adequate shipping service from Chile,
but our country is the third largest
producer of synthetic nitrogen in the
world, and the largest producer Of am
monium sulphate. The shortage Of
sulphuric acid during the last war
was due to the heavy requirements of
munition manufacturers for process
ing their goods. Improved methods
of munition makers no longer require
sulphuric acid. This leaves an ade-
quate supply for use in making super
phosphate.
"In 1914 we were entirely dependent
upon Germany for potash. Today, we
produce at home over 60 per cent of
the potash we use and have sufficient
reserves to care for our entire needs.
In addition to this, French, German,
Palestinian, and Spanish potash are
available"
Prices farmers pay for fertilizer
are now lower than before the World
War; prices they pay for all commodi-
ties average % per cent higher.
