out giving pro-
lection, but in - -
most cases the beans are so stunted
that the pods that do form are not
worth the picking. The yield of
unprotected plants is materially re-
duced.
The protection of the bean plant
from the beetle depends on two
things. l. The use of poison that
will not injure the bean plant, and
2, putting the poison where the
beetle will get it. Lead and calcium
arsenate cannot be used on beans,
as they injure the plant. Mag
nesium arsenate does not injure
the plant, but cannot be used after
the beans begin to form. Thus,
rotenone or pyrethrum are recon-
mended, since they do not injure
the plant and they are not poison
GUS to warm FLOODED animals.
1t is recommended that those
Victory gardeners who have or are
able to obtain rotenone reserve it
for use on beans and the green
leafy crops. Use lead arsenate or
some other poison wherever pos
sible so that the supply of rotenone
may be made to last as long as
possible.
The entire life of the Mexican
bean beetle is spent on the under
sides of the leaves. To be effective
the poison must be there where he

case of Litvinoff or anyone else.
It's essence may be nationalism,
which may be one of the things
wrong with the world. but it's tech
nique or method is denationalized
That is to say, it is the same with,
shall one say, Brennan from Ire
land, Halifax from London.
Diplomacy is done with poker
face.
AS a result of having played Lit
vinof, an amiable and whimsical
man behind the indispensable poker
face, there is only one embarrass-
ment for Homolka. That one, he
is quite sure, is more his fault than
that of the man who represents
Russia.
"You know" he says, at is Mr..
Lltvinoff's idea-maybe good, may
be not so good, I don't know-that
as result of the impersonation, I
should try the real thing. Well, to
be specific about it, it is that I
should spend a day here trying to
act as the Russian Ambassador. Not
the real thing, understand, but the
unreal thing SO I could understand.
Il don't think I could"
Maybe it means that actors, con-
fronted by reality, lose their con-
fldence.
Mr.. Homolka, one of the most
pleasantly modest actors you ever
saw, could do that very easily.
Miss Gertrude Bromberg, who
represents the distinguished Plav-
wright Company with such distinc-
ton, says that one Of the most
acute subjects of curiosity about
THE Eve of st. Mark" is the ORIGIN
of the title.
You'll have to know" she SAYS,
as If drama critics wouldn't. 80
you can explain"
80" one says severely to Miss
Bromberg, which gives her a chance
to continue.
WELL" says Miss Bromberg, "the
source of the title is an unfinished
poem OF the same name by John
Keats. Although it is not as we'll
known as the poets The Eve of St,
Agnes it can be found In all the
complete works of Keats. (The
beauty of the complete works of any
poet is that they include his incom-
plete works.-Ed)
THE two lines which Mr.. Ander-
son (MaxwelD quotes in the pref
ace Of his play are:
Until the dusk eve left her dark
Upon the legend of st. Mark
The legend referred to is that
II a virgin stands at the door of a
cathedral on ST. Marks eve, she will
see passing before her all who are
about to die that year, and if her
lovers face is in the crowd, he, too,
never will return"
Yesterday, by the way, was the
eve OF st. Mark.

UuI Ol III UOOdy LOT Whatever meals
are available, discussed the matter
OF mimicing Mr.. Litvinof rather
freely and quite amusingly.
One of the more interesting an
giles from which he approached the
subject turned out to be the overall
problem of playing Litvinoff, or any
other diplomat. 1t is a problem
because diplomats of the more Sue
cessful type are required to dead
pan-an acting term which sounds
strangely out of place in the Ian
guage of diplomacy their way
through life. Whether making a
treaty for an exchange of, say,
cotton for apricots, or asking their
passports so they can get out of
their assigned countries on the eve
Of war, they show no emotion.
ct is easy that way, as far as
that goes" Mr.. Homolka admits
''but there is another side to it
Actors have been accustomed all
their professional lives to showing
emotion. Emotion is their business
They are moved by everything, an
infection in a voice, gesture, or
what have you? Acting is reacting
and we react to everything. Then
when We run across the part of a
diplomat who is a calm, imperturb-
able person-or goes into another
line of work-it is necessary to ap-
ply the brakes to everything we have
been taught"
You might think that a Russian
diplomat would be easier to play
than, say, an English one. That is
because the Russians are a more
volatile people, given to moodiness
playing gypsy music on violins in
caves, and sometimes drinking vodka
SO they can forget what the world
really is like.

not without some validity, but ii

will get 1t as he feeds. No amount
OF spray or dust on the upper leaf
surfaces will affect him in any
way-it must be put on the under
side.
Whether you use a dust gun or a
tank sprayer, it should have an ex-
tension tube long enough so that
the dust or spray may be released
near the surface OF the ground and
directed upward toward the under
surfaces of the leaves. A dust gun
or sprayer that will not permit this
is OF little use in the Victory garden.
The choice between a buster or
sprayer is of little Importance as
far as effective control is concerned.
The buster is a less costly piece of
equipment, but has fewer uses than
a spray tank. A dustef is quicker.
but spray sticks longer.
Fighting the bean beetle normally
starts after the middle of May. 1t is
seldom practical to start the spray
ing or busting until the beetles are
present on the under side of the
foliage. Since the leaves are making
rather rapid growth and rains are
frequent, it will be necessary to apply
the poison every few days during the
early stages of growth. AS the
beetles are brought under control
the frequency of application should
be reduced to conserve the materials.
The Mexican bean beetle will at
tack all kinds of beans-bush, pole,
lima and soy. Keeping them under
control on the pole beans is even
more important than on the bush
beans-and easier. A severe infes-
tation of the bean beetle greatly
shortens the productive season of
pole beans, which normally is several
times longer than that of bush
beans.

PRIVATE 'JITNEY
 BILL PROTESTED
House Returns Measure Permitting Private Own.
 CTS to Charge Fees

The bill permitting motorists go- ing to work to charge Q fec to the passengers they take with them daily received opposition on the part of the bus companies. The house returned the bill to the committee on motor vehicles yesterday.
 The bill provides that because Of the present transportation crisis, motorists who use their cars going to work may accept fees for no more than five persons in their cars if these persons are employed near the same place as the motorist. The bill also stipulates that one round trip Is permitted daily.
 The senate favored the bill but delayed passing because of opposi- ton. The point was raised that in case of accident the owner of the motor vehicle would be faced with several suits for large sums of dam ages which would not be covered by ordinary liability insurance, and he most likely wouldn't be able to Ob. tain public liability insurance.
 The Connecticut Motor Coach as- sociation was one of the strongest opposers of the bill. Frank Healey of Waterbury is its secretary and counsel.
