 application too late will be useless because the ear worm larvae already are inside the husks and feeding on the tip of the ear.
 A half-pint of oil will treat about 300 ears, if the drops are applied with a medicine dropper, see top picture at right so they can be placed correctly and none wasted. The oil leaves no flavor on the corn and proper treatment will protect 75 to 90 per cent of the ears from damage. The dropper should be in- serted into the tips of the ears from one half to one inch before the oil is elected. The old gardener rec ommends that about 30 drops of oil be applied to the silks of each ear. Treatments may have to be made at different times because some of the ears will have silks earlier than others. No ear should be treated twice, so tassels should be broken to mark stalks on which the ear has been treated.
 Most of the garden supply stores will have the mineral oil already mixed with the right, amount of rotenone and some in bottles with attached applicator pumps. see pie ture at lower right.

 Under circumstances which have not been of the best, under con- ditions which have been hazardous, Hollywood has been well represent ed in particularly every part of the globe at these shows, bringing laughter when and where laughter really was needed. THE CORPORAL WONDERED
 I never think in terms of post war entertainment for servicemen without recalling conversation with young corporal I met while On an overseas tour. He came up to speak to me after I'd wound up a show at his base in Italy.
 T liked your show, MT. Garleld,' '' he said. T think it was swell. It did a lot of good for me, too But" But what, son?" asked
 Well" he continued, "as watched you up there on that inn plovised stage I couldn't help but wonder about something. You see, MT. Garfield, I've not been wound ed nor hurt nor anything in this war. Not yet. just wondered about"
 Again he faltered. He kicked his toe into the ground.
 "Yes?" You wondered about What?"
 Well, about the boys who have been wounded, about those fellows who will have the war hanging around them for long time to come.

 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

I have shown all four of today's hands but before reading further I suggest that you cover up the South and west cards. The hand came from Harry J. Fishbein of the Mayfair Bridge Club in New York, and is purely a defensive one. We were both surprised at the num- Der of players who put up the wrong defense.
 The opening lead held and a club was continued, which South ruffed. South then led trump and East won with the ace. Now what should East lead? Surprisingly enough, a number of players said they would return a trump, others would lead a club. No one wanted to lay down the ace of diamonds, with the king staring them in the face, But East

 She opened her mouth and Frank said quickly,

She had thought herself in love with him for about two months. That hadn't lasted either. She shook her head, again. No, nothing serious.
 Except Jim.
 But that was absurd, she knew Jim, she liked him, she had been glad to see him again. There'd been nothing between them at the hospital, nothing at all. The few times they'd gone out together they'd talked hospital all the time, between dances. They liked and respected one another. And. she'd been glad when he came to Cran- berry, when he suddenly turned up again, and became closely as- sociated with her life.

First tests, to determine the
direction of air disturbed by the
huge whirling blades of the He'll
copter operated by pilot from
Wright Field, Columbus, Ohio,
were made at the college yester-
day and additional experiments
to determine air temperatures
were to be made today.

almost directly downward, al

tests show that warm air about
80 feet above orch a I'd
could be blown to the ground
by a Helicopter," declared A.
w. Farrell, head of the Agricul-
tural Engineering Department.
Now we will conduct further
trials at night to see if the air
could be disturbed to the extent
of actually raising the tempera-
ture near the ground. If this
works out, we may have found
solution to the severe damage
caused the Michigan fruit crop
in recent years because of late
frosts which kill the blossoms. )"
Farrell conceded it would be
economically impractical to use
present-type Helicopters for or
chard warming purposes, but
said that future wingless planes
will probably be much cheaper
and within the budget OF large
fruit growers.

could cover about 100 acres in
night, the engineering expert
said. 1.-THE plane would fly back

cring the same spot about once

would cost too much with the
Helicopters we have now, but
we're concerned with the prin-
cip1e OF the idea now, not the
economic practibility."

He talked to the survivors of

Officers and men told Filan

Their ship, buffeted shore

Forty-foot breakers hammered
the steel sides of the freighter.
AS men chung to the ropes,
rigging and rails. an oiler, for

Water boiled between the

Two brawny tanker seamen
hustled to the rail of their ship
and began pulling men out of
the water. Twenty six times
they succeeded. The survivors

"SOMETIME AGAIN" NOW ON SALE

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTMENT-Major George L. Hall, now in charge of the United States Armed Forces Institute at Seattle, has recently completed a novel titled, Sometime Again" written after serving three years in Alaska, where he travelled the Aleutians and mainland by air, water, rail, and dog team.
 The major was with the first troops sent to the Territory. AS was the case with so many sol diers, he disliked the Territory for it's newness, despised it for its plaguing mosquitoes and loneli- ness. But also like so many others, after he had fished it's glacial streams in the midnight sun, hunted the mountain sheep in the great unnamed mountains, "and sat by a campfire learning of the true Alaska from a lonely Sour dough, he found the life that ap- pealed to him.
 Having served a hitch as an en- listed man, he understood the sol dier's feeling and position. He en- couraged them to fish and hunt, he showed them how to smoke the salmon they caught. Adapting an athletic program to the naturally rugged terrain, he staged the Ko- diak Olympics where nearly thousand soldiers participated in the track and field events.
 Several thousand soldiers vaca- toned at the luxurious Army Rec reation Camp which he developed and operated at Mt. Mckinley Ma tional Park. Later, thousands more spent profitable hours par ticipating in the educational pro- gram which he established for the Alaskan Department.
