that these diseases are trans
mitted or carried from plant 20

will remember ! have told YOU
several times that there are two
classes Of insects which DESTROY
plants 49, those that chew and
actually eat the tissue. and
those that suck the plant juices
by means of a long PROPOSES
inserted under the surface Of
the leaves.
The chewing insects do not
generally carry the virus dis

authorities, they damage the
part of the plant around their
feeding places and leave no liv-
ing tissue on which the virus

WORK OF VANDALS
 DENOUNCED HERE
Police Seeking Clues to Boys Who Desecrated
 Two Cemeteries

Over 85 headstones and small monuments have been tipped over in two local cemeteries during the last week, police disclosed yester- day. Some of the stones were bad ly damaged.
 Rev. Eugene P. Cryne, superin- tendent of the Roman Catholic Cemeteries, Inc, said that the vandalism was the work" of boys on a rampage" the result of "un- supervised youth"
 Warren Hitchcock, superintend- ent of old Pine Grove cemetery, where most of the damage was done, said some of the stones tipped were so large 1t required four men ta relpace them. He said such varl- dalism had occurred before, but not on so large scale.
 Both Supt. Nicholas Hapenny, of Calvary cemetery, where 35 stones were tipped over Saturday night. and Supt. Hitchcock said that the ] work was done in the older sections

Pastor Recommends
 New Book, The Robe
Rev. Dr.. John C. Walker Devotes Sunday Morning
 Sermon to Latest Contribution By Lloyd Douglas

Have you noticed that not simply one but no less than three of the outstanding novels these last two or three years have been religious booksT asked Rev. pr. John Q. Walker, second Congregational church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon entitled, The Robe, taken from the book of the same name by Lloyd 0. Douglas.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 We know very well the current trends and how often book review reveals that the latest sensational success in the field of fiction deals largely with greed, desadence, i1- cest, adultery, insanity or other such unhappy themes. l often marvel that 50 many people are 30 fond of reading about people who are 80 immoral and so despicable that if these same people lived in our town we would not wish to be seen talk ing to them on the street corner say nothing about exchanging hos pitality with them. T. the charact- CTS in some of the books you read came alive literally in your drawing room your first and perhaps your wisest impulse would be to call the police. You wouldn't dare to stay in the same house with them over- night.
 All that being true, sadly true, do you not renew your faith in com- mon, everyday human nature when you note that for months on end these last few years the top ranking best-sellers, the most popular books on the market, the books most wide- ly read by the general public nave been the good books, the clean, sound books, the books which inc stead of ignoring religious faith, have exalted 1t, have testified to 1t as clearly and as confidently as any true minister of the Gospel could do in any pulpit? Not long since and for many months 1t was The Keys of the Kingdom" by A. J. Cronin, that was leading the list. There was an interim there be- lieve and some books came and went, then for long months 1t was "The Song of Bernadette," book l never got around to reading but ia whose success I am bound to re- joice. And now we have "The Robe, the last, and, I feel quite sure, by all odds the greatest of this fine trilogy. We may note too that the first of these books was written by a Roman Catholic, the second by a Jew and the third by one ot oSr own fellowship. It is a good omen, l think, that this should be so
 "The Robe" is a book that VIII rank high up on the list of the books about Christ. l hope and be- lieve that 1t will have the same wide influence on our generation that ''Hen Hur, A Tale of the Christ" had on the world in . generation past. pr. Douglas is . man who, to quote one of my discerning friends, sets down his descriptions of life in the Roman Empire in fashion which makes them seem as real as the events in the morning news paper. Indeed as I read that book
 I thought again and again of the Third Reich and how tyrants are In every age.
 And when you put the book down
