Die to Le Rudlin is In the neighborhood of thirty miles, and we did it in something less than thirty minutes, writes E. Alexander Powell In Scribner’s Magazine. We went so fast that the telegraph poles looked like the palings in a picket fence, and we took the corners on two wheels so as to save rubber. Of one thing I am quite certain—if I am killed in this war, it is not going to be by a shell or a bullet; it is going to be In a military motor car. No cars save military ones are permitted on the roads in the zone of operations, and for tho military cars no speed limit exists. As a result the drivers tear through the country as though they were in the Vanderbilt cup race. Sometimes, of course, a wheel comes off, or they meet another vehicle when going around a corner at full speed— and the next morning there is a mili¬ tary funeral. To be a driver of a military car In the zone of operations is the Joyrider’s dream come true. The soldier who drove my car steered with one hand because.he had to use the other to Illustrate the stories of his exploits in the trenches. Despite the fact that we were on s mountain road, one side of which dropped away into nothing¬ ness, when he related the story of how he captured six Germans singlehand¬ ed, he took both hands off the wheel to tell about it. It would have made Barney Oldfield’s hair permanently pompadour. SEEMED UKE HOME TO BIRD Canary Finally Successful In Breaking Into Jail, and May Serve a Life Tarm. Having been born in a prison cage, it was only natural that a canary, re¬ gretting the breaking of home ties at a moment when the door was left open, should pause in his recalcitrant career when he aaw the hundreds of barred windows of the Tombs prison, remarks the New York Herald. He always had associated bars with a well-filled seed dish. This runaway canary had been try¬ ing for several days to break into Jail, mistaking it probably for a bird cage —a JaQ bird cage. A "down and out¬ er” at the penny coffee stand under the Tombs wall caught the hungry and remorseful bird. John Crowley, a turnkey, who had watched the little fellow for days, gave the outcast IS cents for the bird and took him Inside the prison. There the canary was happy again. He flew Sboflt the Cagewalls, ate greedily from the bird seed dishes, took a splashing bath in the bright sunshine, and sang Joyoaely. The bars made him feel at home, and he may serve a term for life there. Admired American Invention*. As far back as 1876 some of the for¬ eign commissioners to the Centennial showed their keen appreciation of the importance of invention and the ad¬ vantages derived by America from its encouragement. One of the Swiss commissioners said: “I am satisfied from my knowledge that no people have made in so short & time so many useful inventions as tho Americans, and if today machinery apparently does all the work, it nevertheless by no means reduces the workman to a machine. He uses a machine, it is true, but he is always thinking about somo Improvement to introduce into it, and often bis thoughts lead to fine inventions or useful improvements." The reports to parliament of the Brit¬ ish commissioner said that “as re¬ gards extent of invention and lngonn ity, the United States was tar ahead of other nations,” and that "judged by its results in benefiting the public, both by stimulating inventors and by giving a perseveringly practical turn to their labors, the American patent law must be admitted to oe the most successful.” Her View of 8elf. She was a typical East side girl and, though plainly dressed, was vew pret¬ ty. While walking through Van Cdrt landt park she heard for the first time of the game of golf and observed the golfers as she was asking her com¬ panion, a sprightly young girl, some¬ thing about the game. The girl ex¬ plained. "My Gawd,” responded the other.

"Do they play it away off there, too?” “Oh, yea,” replied the girl. "They play it all over the place.” “Well,” concluded the East aide girl, dismissing the subject with definite finality and a shrug of her shoulders, “that’s another of those nice games Td like to learn—I don’t think!”—Naw Tork Times. Poisoning by Aeroplane Varnloh. The enormously increased produc¬ tion of aeroplanes during the war lends point to a warning regarding the varnish employed. At the aeroplane ! works in Johannisthsl a number of workmen employed in the varnishing department were taken seriously ill, and two deaths resulted. The most important symptom was Jarntdice due to decomposition of the blood. On investigation the cause was found to be poisoning by tetracblorethane, the only solvent known for the highly combustible acetylcellulose. These ac¬ cidents led to an order forbidding the use of solvents containing a high per¬ centage of tetracblorethane.—Scien¬ tific American. HOWTO v nns THAT TRUCK % Stats Beard Of Entomology Mm Pre¬ pared Bulletin On Buge That injure Veftetabtse tically Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—With prac¬ no limit to the variety and quantity of truck crons that can ha successfully grown sad marketed to Georgia, the present undouuhkJy nA&wtty for di¬ versification will eoadaaa te more extensive truck growing then the state has ever known before. Insect pests, whleh are an impor¬ tant factor to contend with in truck farming, can usually be controlled at comparatively little expense. The State Board of Entomology has Just prepared a new bulletin an these pests, which will soon be in print and ready for distribution among those who are interested. State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham urges that any who desire detailed information regarding particular pests, will write direct to the department. The common red spider whleh at¬ tacks such vegetables as tomatoes, beans, cucumbers and melons, in; Jures the plant by sucking its juices. Complete destruction of overwintering green plants that furnish food for the adults, is the best preventative. As n remedy thorough spraying with lime sulphur, one found part to 106 parts of water, has been most effective. The Harlequin cabbage bug. black with orange or yellow markings s*d about three-eighths of an Inch long, feeds principally on collards, cabbage, mustard, radishes, turnips, lettuce and the like. Cleaning up and burning of trash will destroy many hibernating adults. Mustard should bo planted as a trap plant; a few short rows will do. As these become badly infest¬ ed they should he sprayed With pure kerosene,. If the growing crops become badly Infested later, a 16 per cent kerosene emulsion may be applied with auocess. To Kill Plant Lie# Plant lice, or aphids, attack vegeta¬ bles, fruit trees and flowers. They are all usually oontroiled by the same treat¬ ment. One of the principal offenders is the melon aphis, feeding on the leaves of cucumbers, cantaloupes, cot¬ ton and similar plants. It congregates on the under side of leaves and saps the juices, arresting development and killing the plant. They have many parasitic enemies, but where the p^sc is serious, spraying muat be resorted to. One of the best spraying remedies Is Black Leaf 46, a nicotine tobacco product. This concentrated solution produces splendid resalts, even at the rate ot one pari to 400 or 600 parts of water. Soap solution, one pound to 3 or 4 gallons of water, or ten per cent kerosenb emulsion, will control the pest. The mole cricket to a moot serious truck crop pest, especially in south¬ eastern Georgia and the coast coun¬ ties. Tomatoes, peppers, turnips, pota¬ toes, sugar cane and Bermuda grass are its principal foods, but tow truck crops escape it. The cricket cut* the young plants just underneath the ground. Plowing of breeding areas two or three times during April, May and June is the best method of get¬ ting rid of this pest. It exposes the eggs to the sun and kills them. Poi¬ son baits of cotton seed meal aad ar¬ senate of lead or Paris green have proven very beneficial. Few gardens escape injury from eat worms which are active, chiefly in the spring, and altogether at night, biding under tho surface cf the ground by day. They cut off plants Just at tha surface of the ground. Preventive measures are best. Grass being their j principal food, they are thickest oa , land that has been in sod. They wan¬ der into gardens from grass beds. Thorough plowing and pulverizing ot the soil during the winter, is a good preventive measure. They will crawl under boards or in holes punched in the ground, where they may be found and destroyed. Poisoned baits of eom meal and Parih green, sweetened with molasses, have proven quite effective. Animals should be kept away from the poisoned baits. Crops Worms That Destroy The pickle worm injures cucum¬ bers and cantaloupes by boring into them; the fruit attacked is rendered worthless. The squash, which they prefer, is effectively used as a trap plant; these are planted in the melon field at intervals of two to three weeks.
