Any one in need of veterinary service will receive my attention M. J. Rattary, Veterinarian. Know Your Language By C. L. Bushnell School of English, International Correspondence Schools 'T'HE expression “nobody home” is J undoubtedly slang when used to denote stupidity. It is, however, slang with the backing of Alexander Pope, one of the most eminent of the Eighteenth Century poets. One of Pope's famous couplets reads: "You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come: Knock as you please, there’s nobody at home.” » » » An eminent man may be a prom inent man, but a prominent, man is I not necessarily eminent. "Eminent” ■ is properly used in speaking of a man who ranks high in his profes sion or the office which he holds. A prominent man is merely one who stands out from his fellows.

There are two major classifica tions of insect pests —chewing and sucking. > ' Chewing insects, such as beetles, leave telltale holes in leaves. Con trol by dusting or spraying plants with arsenicals (poisons with arsen ate of lead as a base). These reme dies are known as stomach poisons, for they must be eaten by the in sects. Plants commonly attacked by chewing insects include cucumber, squash, other vine crops, mustard, tomato and p- Trer. Sucking insects, such as aphis or plant lice, can be detected in small groups on the under surface of the leaves Regular inspections should be made. Control by dusting or spraying, directly on the insects, nicotine sulphate or pyrethrum. These insects do not eat exterior plant texture and must be killed by a poison fatal to them by contacting their bodies. Among plants attacked are pea', pepper, cabbage, and crops being grown for greens. Special treatment should be given two poets—cutworm and leaf beetle. The former (a chewii^ insect) is very fond of all young plants and is controlled by spreading about a apponful ot “poison bran bait" near each plant. This should be done at nightfall. * Beetles (also chewing insects) are found on tomato, pepper, turnips and other plants. They can be par tially controlled by a Bordeau mix ture spray containing an arsenical. Cold Wsather Hints For Motorists By C. R. Strouse Director, School of Automobiles, International Correspondence Schools ■ N EV ER run an engine in which 11 alcohol is used as the anti-freeze agent, after steam starts to issue from the overflow pipe. The steam will cause the radiator solution to run out of the overflow pipe until the radiator is empty. Scored cylinders, burnt pistons, etc., are likely to be the result. • s * When an automatic shutter,' or winter front, fails to open at any temperature, the thermostatic unit is probably defective and should be replaced. When the shutters open, but will not close, the trouble is . probably due to a broken closing spring. $ S: * Check the generator charging rate. Because of the heavy demand on the storage battery during cold weather, it is often advisable to in crease thg generator output during the winter months.
