Parliament Adjourns by Royal
Decree—England Doesn’t
Want Intervention.
Caino, Egypt, Nov. 25.—(By
the Associated Press.) — An im
proved atmosphere prevailed in
Cairo today following yesterday’s
sensational political developments
resulting from the course taken
by Great Britain in consequence
of the assassination last week
of the sirdar, Major General Sir
Lee Stack.
British troops again paraded
the streets this morning, but oth
erwise there were but few out
ward signs of the unusual.
Parliament Adjourns.
The Egyptian parliament was
adjourned by royal decree today
..to December 25.
Private Fight.
London, Nov. 25.—There ns no
immediate intention to impose
martial law in Egypt. Great
Britain realises that the entire
country is a tinder box. Lord
Allenby, however, is authorized to
take such measures as appear ne
cessary.
Suggestions, apparently from
French official sources, that adju
dication of the Anglo-Egyptian
trou ble is a matter for the league
of nations, have met with freezing
silence. ____________———i
" Great Britain regards the pres
ent situation as a private fight
and official spokesmen are frank
in stating that no one shall be
permitted to interfere.

FAT? GET A BRUSH
AND RUB IT OFF
Vienna, Nov. 25.—The scrub
brush has been introduced in
Vienna in a new role—that of
flesh reducer. The idea was
brought here by a South
American doctor and has made
considerable rub in overweight
circles.
The scrubbing treatment with
a perfectly dry brush, a trifle
softer than the kitchen varie
ty, must be taken four or five
times a day, the more the bet
ter, and vigorously.
* After the rubbing a cold or
tepid shower or plunge should
be taken. If these directions
are carried out, enthusiasts
say, a pound of two of “ex
cess” disappears every week.

Toronto, Nov. 25.—Since the
confirmation of prohibition in On
tario renewed efforts have been
made to stop wholesale rum run
ning across the border into the
United States. Thus far these
efforts have not been highly sue
cessful.
Intoxicants, ostensibly design
ed for export, were seized by pro
vincial authorities at ports con
tiguous to the border. At Wind
sor the liquor taken from export
warehouses was valued at $200,
000 .
But, unfortunately for the foes
of the liquor traffic, the wet
goods has been returned to the
exporters following decision by
the police magistrates that there
was no legal justification for the
seizures.
For Ohtario Trade, Charge.
The Ontario provincial govern
ment, which, following the plebis
cite on October 23, has been tak
ing the initiative, claims no ju
risdiction over exports, But it
made the seizures on the ground
that the proposed export of these
large stocks of liquor was camou
flage and that the real purpose
was to supply the domestic boot
legging industry in Ontario.

ities in effect, “this liquor is de

COUNTRY COUSINS
BEST CITY GIRLS
IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Washington, Nov. 25.—The
United States bureau of edu
cation has found that the farm
boy and farm girl are not in
ferior to their town and city
cousins.
Country girls, it is said, are
even brighter than their sis
ters in urban communities.
Facts involving 20,000 high
school girls representing every
state in the union, it was as
certained, show that farm chil
dren make better progress
than other children through
high school.
This is true because of the
unusually good progress of
farm girls.
The facts show also that
fewer farm girls are eliminat
ed from high school.
PLANES ARE USED
10 DOST PEACHES
HI FORI VALLEY
Fort Valley, Ga., Nov. 25.—
Twenty-five acres of peach trees
were dusted by aeroplane in fif
teen minutes in a demonstration
here yesterday as the initial step
in what purports t,o be the solu
tion of a great problem in Geor
gia’s peach industry.
George B. Post, of the Heff
Daland Company, New— York,
brought from Americus a cotton
dusting plane to experiment in
peach dusting and the plane was
driven over the Wilson orchard
by Dan E. Tobin.
Weather Unfavorable.
The weather was unfavorable,
windy and raining, but the experi
ment was a success, proving that
dusting peaches by airplanes can
be done when rain and mud would
otherwise forbid.
Examination of the trees showed
the dusting to be thorough and the
advantages are a probable less
cost, insuring a scientific dusting,
a saving of labor, a universal
dusting at the psychological time.
Mr. Post stated that a thousand
acres could be dusted in a day
with the small plane landing every
five or ten minutes for dust. A
plane is being constructed which
will carry a thousand pounds to
dust three acres an hour.
Growers in this section are en
thusiastic over the demonstration.
Mr. McHatton, of the State Col
lege, Athens, and Mr. Demaree, of
the federal department, working
in the paean industry, were here
to witness the demonstration and
more than a hundred growers
looked on.
4 The plane sweeps six to ten feet
above the orchards one hundred
feet wide at about eighty miles
an hour and leaves a cloud of dust
through and over the orchard that
would penetrate a closed room.
Dusting seasons come when
farmers are rushed and the.plan
culty. In this way thousands of
acres of fruit could be cared for
as compared with twenty-five or
thirty acres by the old plan.
