New Weed Killer Seen
As Revolutionary

A weed killer which, according to
those who have carried out extern
sive tests with it in Washington
parks and golf courses, may prove
to be almost as revolutionary in it's
field as DDT in the field of insecti-
cides, soon should be available to
the public in a number of forms.
The "weedicide" is PAD, or di-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS acid-to give
its full scientific name-a growth
regulating compound which causes
wide variety of weeds common to
turf areas literally to curl up and
die within three to four weeks after
application.
A woman scientist, DR.. F. F. Davis,
who holds the degree of doctor of
philosophy and at present is con-
sultant for the Office of National
Capital Parks, demonstrated its weed
killing ability yesterday in the Mall
in front of the Museum of Natural
History Of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. The demonstration culmi-
mated long series of tests in this
area.
The demonstration was attended
by more than so representatives of
Government agencies, commercial
chemical firms and club green's
keepers.
The compound, according to DR.
Davis, who formerly conducted re-
search on its development as con-
sultant for the green's section of the
United States Golf Association, will
completely rid turf areas of such
weeds as broad-leaf plantin, knot
weed, clover, dock, buckthorn, dan
delion, honeysuckle, ragweed and
to some extent poison ivy. 1t was
developed by the USGA and the
Agriculture Department.

left this Halloween to the kids.
I'm too old for such stuff. But I
can still remember another Hal
lowe'sn. night about eight years
ago.
It happened like this:
There was a gang of about twen-
ty kids back in Scion Springs, Wis.
and we used to gather at the depot
platform to map out our evening
of devilment. Oct. 31st was no
different from any other night,
except that maybe it was q little
more so.
On this certain night we were
all there, twenty strong. The $3.50
passenger had just pulled out and
we were all ready to set forth.
Suddenly, from in back OF q
cafe, there came two or three loud
explosions. And the truth was out.
The whole police force was laying
for us. They came out Of the cafe
and from out of the hotel across
the street. From out Of the dark
alleys and from out Of the night
itself.
With Chief of Police Clark in
the lead, they made for the back
of the cafe. They searched every
nook and Granny they could find.
There was nothing there. They re-
turned to their hiding places, melt
ing into the night.
Bang! Bang! Bang! This time
a block down the street. The chase
was on again.
We kids stood on the platform,
as much in the dark as were the
cops.
Five times came the sound Of
firecrackers - four-inch busters
they were. Each in different
place a block or so away.
One thing was clear to US. The
pranksters were slowly moving
toward the depot.
The sixth and last bombardment
came from behind the store just
across the street. The police,
weary from the chase, moved In
slowly. Chief Of Police Clark, des-
perate and tearing his hair, or at
least what hair he had-took his
well-being in his own two hands
and advanced upon the depot.
"Okay," he snapped. "Who's
the wise guy?"
We didn't know and we told
him so. We said we wouldn't tell
him even If we did. Somebody
had stolen our thunder, but we
were behind them to the last man.
Several Of US had seen the two
shadowy figures slip behind the
post office next door.
Chief Clark mumbled something
about US kids staying out and
stalked off.
Excitement climbed to q fever.
ish pitch. We moved In a body to
protect the two pranlksters coming
In from our rear. As yet we did
Mt know who they were. But we
were not long in the dark. They
came up to join the gang, giggling
like q couple Of school girls.
It was Mrs. Clark Chief Clarks
wife and her daughter-in-law.
They had thought they would have
some fun. They had known Of the
Chiefs plan to lay for Us kids. Mrs.
Clark said as how she reckoned
Halloween was for the young and
as long as no harm was done, she
couldn't see why we shouldn't
have our fun.
The poor tired cops returned to
the cafe for some hot coffee TO
drown their woes In. The moon
hung low behind a cloud. We
were young. The night was ours.
And, brother, did we make use Of
It! III. p. Bednar

main of Philadelphia 1T the High
land Golf and Country Club Sat
urday.
Babe, bereaved by the sudden
death of her mother a day earlier,
not only scuttled Miss German IN
title competition for the second
straight year, but also, turned in
something of a par-Wrecking Job
in a 36-hole showdown for her
third championship since 1910.
Three contenders previously had
won two western open titles-June
Beebe in 1881 and 1888; Mrs. Opal
S. Hill in 1885 and 1896; and Patty
Berg in 1941 and 1943-but it re-
manned for the former Olym- C
track champion to establish a tour
nament precedent.
Babe played hot-and-cold golf to
trim Miss German for the second
time. 1t appeared the defending
champion would surpass her 7 and
5 triumph over Dorothy at Park
Ridge, ILL.,, last year when she
roared through the first 81 holes
four-under women's par for a six
hole lead.
Miss German staged a surpris-
ing comeback, however, to sweep
the 30th, 31st and 32nd holes and
trim the champs margin to three
holes with four remaining. tt 33rd
was halved and then Mrs. Zaharias
spiked Dorothy's guns with a par
four on the 34th that settled the
match.
Over the first 10, Mrs. Zaharias
blazed an eagle and four brides to
finish with u, one stroke under
the women course record of 70
set by Dorothy Ellis of In Llama
polls, Indiana state champion in
1913.
Babe kept up the pace on the
third nine with par-matching -,
but her slump on the home stretch
left her only one-under standard
for "a holes. Miss German was
four over par for the same dis
lance,
