Dust Mixtures

Dust mixtures containing calcium
arsenate are for use against chew
ing insects. Many also contain cop
per compounds for disease control.
Dusts containing 10 per cent calcium
arsenate together with ''fixed''
copper compound and tale are COM
monty used to protect cucumbers,
melons and squash from cucumber
beetles and diseases. Dusts con-
tanning 20 per cent calcium arsenate
with copper sulphate and hydrated
lime are used on potatoes for potato
"bugs" and blight. Either type will
protect tomato, pepper, eggplant
and other transplants from flea
beetles. It is best not to use dusts
containing arsenicals on plants such
as beet green's, swiss chard, broc-
coli, brussels sprouts, kale, or on
cabbage If the outer leaves are to
be eaten, because enough poison
may remain to be injurious to
health.

Legislatures Keep in Step
With Standing Committees

Increasing reliance on standing
committees to keep track of de-
velopments in various fields of gov
eminent and legislative activity was
reported for the nations state legis-
latures by the Council of State
Governments.
Functioning on a permanent basis
during legislative sessions, the
standing committees vary in pur-
pose as widely as the needs of the
states which established them, and
deal with a diversity of subjects
agriculture, labor, public health,
education, finance, amendments to
state constitutions, workmen's COM
pensation, public works, insurance,
transportation, elections and inter-
state cooperation.
Most recent additions to the ex-
panding List of standing committees
are those concerned with civilian
and national defense and aviation,
the majority of which have been set
up by rule in state legislatures dur
ing the last three years.
A total of 1895 standing commit
tees now handle regular work of the
48 legislatures in the country. OF
these, LAS are senate committees,
1,785 are house committees and 1856
are joint committees.

Images Form ON Ewes

In several murder stories identifi-
cation Of the criminal is alleged to
have resulted from a picture Of the
killer formed on the retina of the
eye of the victim.
Although it is highly improbable
that such retinal picture ever re-
vealed the identity Of killer it is a
scientific fact, says the Better vi
sion institute, that experimentally
indistinct silhouette images may be
formed on the retina of dead ami
NAL. If the head Of a rabbit, for
example, is kept in the dark for
some time and then placed carefully
in the light of a window, rectangles
viii be bleached on the retina of
the rabbits eye by the light coming
from the several panes, forming a
pattern of the window. Such a reti-
nal picture is known as an "opto-
gram"

THEY LEARN WITH EYES AND
HANDS

Acting on the theory that people
learn best by doing, some 125 small
farmers in .Guilford County, North
Carolina, have been attending food
workshops" conducted by Farm Sc
curity Administrators supervisors
of the War Food Administration.
The plan of the workshops is to
demonstrates well as discuss
good farming methods. Emphasis this
year has been put on the learning
of the know how" of milk, poultry
and egg production-foods for which
there is a special demand in the war
food programs well as gardening
and hog raising. Giuilford farmers
have made trips to various farms,
going into gardens, hen houses, pig
pens and milk barns for real life"
instruction in the essentials OF i'm
proved methods.
A soil conservation specialist is
usually on hand to explain contour
blowing, terracing, and other prac-
tees that conserve the soil and pre-
vent erosion. A farm family is "host"
at each workshop meeting and shares
with the visitors in the work under
study.
Similar learn while you work
methods of improving farming me-
thods are being tested in many areas
where FSA programs are active.

Mexican Opticians Treat
PEOPLE From Vehicle

Thousands Of Mexicans owe their
sight to battered ambulance which
rumbles out of Mexico City at reg
ular intervals for a trek of several
months to remote and isolated COM
munities.
The service is sponsored by the
Mexican Association for the Proven
ton of Blindness, under the direc-
ton of Adela Formoso de Santalicia
Obregon. The 'Blind Car" as it
is affectionately called in rural Mex
leo, carries two doctors and nurse
to regions where no other facilities
for eye treatment are available.
Dona Adela, an accomplished mu-
stefan, poetess and playwright, knew
nothing about eye ailments when
she was given charge of the associa-
tons hospital because Of her ability
to raise funds. Undaunted, she
studied eye diseases and took on
herself the whole problem Of Mex
ico's blind. The ambulance was the
result of her vigorous one-woman
campaign for mobile eye-service.
The "Blind Car" maps its routes
and goes everywhere that an auto
mobile is supposed to go, and to
many places where it is not. An
nouncements of its itinerary are
sent out in advance, and long lines
Of sufferers are waiting when the
ambulance arrives at its destina-
tons.
The doctors remove cataracts,
splinters and thorns from eyes and
provide treatment for all eye all
ments except those requiring adj
vanced surgery. Such cases are
brought to Mexico City for treat
ment in the associations hospital.

INSPIRATION ON THE AIR

Mail from listeners-1n UNIFORM
and out-requesting hymns on the
radio has doubled since pre-war days,
say orchestra and program conduc-
tors. and there is obvious reason.
For the boys in the service hymns
bring back the group around the
little old reed organ in the parlor,
the things that Mother used to sing
while going about her work, the
young folks meetings on mid
week or Sunday evening. For those
at home, they bring strength and en-
couragement and comfort.
Fred Warning, who plays each ev-
ening a hymn selected by group
of service men or women, learns from
his fan mail that they are rich
and happy memory for thousands OF
lads-and for girls in uniform herd
ed into crowded quarters in cities
far from home. Franklin MacCor-
mack of MICS Hymns OF All
Churhces" program says 1.-THE Battle
Hymn of the Republic" is as popular
with the fighting men today as 1t
may have been with the G. A. r.
Raymond Paige, conductor OF the
"Salute to Youth" orchestra, finds
that young people generally are evin-
cling renewed interest in sacred
music.
Hymns are primarily songs OF
praise-praise of God. AS they de-
clare Gods goodness, His omnipo-
tence, His love for His creatures, and
His infinite care, they become express
sions of gratitude, of confidence, OF
comfort in distress. Consequently,
they set up in human consciousness
a firmer faith and enlarged under
standing of Gods relationship to HIS
children, stronger reliance upon
a power above and beyond mere NOR
tai effort. Already hundreds OF men
in the service have had proof OF
protection Afforded by this mental
armor. BY all means let us have
more hymns.

FEDERAL AGENCIES WARNED
NOT TO BYPASS STATES

A resolution containing a sharp
demand that all Federal agencies
wishing to deal with and use the pub
lie school systems of the States
should work only through duly con-
stituted State Departments of Edu-
cation, was adopted by the Executive
Committee of the Governors Confer
ence at meeting in Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, Governor O'Conor made known.
Governor O'Conor is a member
and former Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee.
The Resolution follows:
WHEREAS there has been an in
creasing tendency on the part of GER
tain Federal Agencies to deal with
and to use the public school system
in connection with the promotion
and operation of their programs; and
WHEREAS, upon occasion, some
of these Federal Agencies have dealt
directly with local governments and
even with districts without refer
ence to state plans and programs be-
ing conducted in the same fields,
thereby causing great confusion and
seriously hamperfng the effective
conduct of the work;
THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED
by the Executive Committee of the
Governors Conference:
% That the States are willing
and anxious to make all Of their IA
cilities available for use in the war
effort and in other activities having
to do with the welfare of their citi-
zens; and to make these facilities
available in an orderly and efficient
manner:
CD That this can be done if Fed
eral Agencies, in all matters having
to do with activities conducted
through the public school system,
work through and only through duly
constituted State Deartments of Ed
ucation that are responsible for the
operation of our public school sys-
tenn.

GOVERNOR ORDERS ROADS
COMMISSION TO RUSH PLANNING


Roads construction must play a
major part in Maryland's Postwar
Program, Governor Herbert r. o.
Conor made clear to the State Roads
Commission. He notified Major Ezra
B. Whitman, its chairman, that plans
for a comprehensive program Of
construction and improvement, to
bring the highways of the State into
line with the needs of the future,
must be completed and ready for in
iation at an early date.
AS a move in this direction the
Governor directed Major Whitman
to segregate, from the present State
Roads staff, a group of engineers and
craftsmen for prompt completion of
blueprints for all projects already
in work or contemplated.
''If your present staff is not ade-
quate to take on and finish this huge
task promptly" Governor O'Conor
told Major Whitman, you are here
by authorized to employ outside en-
cheering firms as required"
With funds approximating $10,-
0OO,OO on hand at the moment, and
plans in various stages of completion
to expend that amount, the Governor
made known that the Commission
had programmed other construction
totaling an additional $4,000, 900,
and is ready to ask for final approx
al by the United States Government
of plans for the Baltimore City-Pa-
tapsco River Bridge, which, with
necessary approaches, will cost APP
proximately $2O,000,000.
The fact that the Commission has
been engaged for number of
months past entirely on access road
way construction approved by the
Federal Government, and for which
the Federal Government supplied
some $16,OOO,000 of funds, made
possible the present backlog of ap-
proximately $10,O00,O0O, the Gov
ernor pointed out
Stoppage of all regular State
Roads construction dates back to
April, 1912, Governor O'Conor said,
at which time orders were received
from the Federal Government prac-
tically prohibiting the State Roads
Commission from doing any con-
struction work except where approx
ed by the Public Roads Administra-
ton. At that time plans had been pre-
pared for approximately $2,0O0,00
worth of road work, including the
acquisition of rights of way, but, be-
cause of the Government order, this
work has never been let. Further,
surveys and plans for about $780,
900 worth of work have been COM
pleted and surveys started on an ad-
ditional $6,25O,0O0 worth of road
ways.
The State Roads Commission al
ready has programmed, also, with
surveys and plans still to be made
and rights of way still to be obtain
ed, approximately $10,00O,000 more
of roads construction, making a to-
tai of 100000, 900 in postwar pro-
jedts which now will be affected by
the Governors peremptory hurry
up" order to the Commission.
