Julie pulled her from tho chair
and led her to the bedroom. She
remained while Enid listlessly
bathed and dressed. She chose the
gown to be worn. she applied
makeup lavishly and with an eye
to artistry.
Enid submitted without further
protest. When they went out to
the taxi she looked like her own
smart. well dressed self.
She lay back. giving no heed
to their direction. Even when they
entered the Sheridan foyer she
only complained. Are We dining

It's sweet Of you TO try to cheer

Mike opened the door at jules

Common or uncommon, bean
weevilS are costly guests. They de-
stroy hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of valuable foodstuffs
during one year. America is the
richest country in the world, and
the most extravagant when it comes
to feeding pests. A mathematician
would f1gure out quite accurately
how many children could be nour-
ished and clothed with the money
which we could have if bean weevils
did not get there first.
There are three or four species of
weevilS that attack our beans in
different parts of the country. Their
procedure is the same and the re-
suit of destruction is identical. The
most widespread of these bean con-
sumers is the one shown here. 1t is
slightly smaller than the weevil
whose special pleasure is to feast
upon peas. However, though this
bean lover is but 1s inch in length,
it is the number of them combined
tIldG TuIlS up tIle CoSI dCSouilI.
Early in the spring the busy
Weevils are in the field. The female
after making holes in the pods, a
handy pocket for her eggs, fills these
receptacles and goes on her way. In
a short time the eggs hatch and the
young attack the beans. There
may be and often are several Of
these bean destroyers domiciled in
one pod.
After spending their youthful days
in the pod, the larvae transform into
the pupal stage-right in the bean
then go on growing up into the
adult form. In few short weeks
after the mother has laid her eggs

money. BY busting the beans with
this white powder and keeping the
storage facilities powdered with lime,
there would soon be an entire ab-
sence of the bean pest. This pro-
cedure, followed by all neighboring
been growers, would help to rid this
country of a pest that should be
eliminated. Constructive conserva-
ton is one of the most efficient ways
to serve your country. Line up the
insect pests and wipe them out!

That the Capital City Softball

The defeat of the Grillmen re-

first place with Kavakos tied along

Carroll Alexander in the first inning
that cofeatured Garvin's victory.

Christoforidis
Must Obtoin N. B.A. Okuy
Of Victory and Whip
Webb To Be Champ
BY the Associated Press.

os lilt hSspNidNtu
NEW YORK. May 23.-Gus Les
nevich had half a hold on half a
title today, obtained by a half
hearted victory before half a house
last night at Madison Square Gar
den.
The sturdy Cliffside, N. j. fighter
outpointed Anton ChriStoforidiS Of
Greece, recognized by the N B. A.
as light-heavyweight champion, in
a battle of scrambled titles-and
now needs only two items to make
him undiSputed king.
One is the admission of the N. B.
A. that the fight was a legitimate
title affair, question brought up by
the fact it was held outside N. B. A.
territory, and the other is victory
this summer over Jimmy Webb.
Should he defaet Webb he would be
recognized as champion by the New
York Commission.
Lesnevich had an edge over the
dancing, left-hooking Greek from
the start last night. but at times
the margin was as slim as the crowd,
which ratified around in the Garden
like birdshot in a tin can.
Attendance was estimated at 4 900
with receipts around $4,000
The Associated Press score-card
gave Lesnevich eight rounds. Chris
toforidis five, with two even. In
the 18th and final round Lesnevich
had the willing but wanting Greek
out on his feet.
