PULLMAN RATES Tio HIGH Washington, March 28.-^-Express ing the opinion that present rates charged by the Pullman Company for the use of its facilities are out of proportion to general business and financial conditions throughout the country, Senator Dial has writ ten a tetter to the -Interstate Com ' merpe Comtaission protesting against these excessive rates and asking if something cannot be done to reduce tjiem. In this letter he called attention to'tire fact that a total increase of 70 per cent had been allowed within the last year, 20 per cent of this going into effect in May 1920, and the remaining 50 per tent n August 1920. This letter I ' follows: "Same time ago you allowed an in crease in Pullman rates. Since that time I have received complaints from constituents that the rate was entirely too high and very much out of proportion to the service render ed. r , c j thowrht then that this was a | mistake and would insure to the in . jury! of both the public and the rail roads, and gave out an interview to that effect. Since that time facts have proven this position to be true. r- "Almost daily I hear people say that in riding'on the trains the Pull ''l mans are practically empty. Just re cently in a talk with some people they stated \hat in the coach in which they came here there were ' from three to five people only. "My informity is that the day coaches are practically empty and rthat passengers only ride therein at night when they are compelled ?o do so. < >i.t appears to me it wouia De a much wiser course to reduce these fares considerably. Thereby the roads would make more money and the people could again patronize the noads as they would like to do. In fact, I am satisfied that^ it would- be Beneficial to all parties if passenger rates were reduced. "I hope you will give this matter . your immediate consideration. If you care for any testimony on the subject, I will be glad to furnish it." Get Out Or i i i Look behind the doo some other corner a I la?f summpr lnw *Hof ?'nuf sed.'

The largest resulted in the Bowery! warehouse of the Menorah Winej ^company, where 2,500 cases each; containing three gallons and 500; barrels of wine, each containing t>z i gallons, were confiscated. I Ernest S. Langley, chief prohibi-l tion enforcement agent, who coii-j ducted the raid, assisted by three.; members of his staff, estimated thej present value of this liquor at $250,-1 000. Earlier in the day the same agents visited five other places, where they confiscated, wines and whiskies valued at $50,000. The Menorah company's ware house is a four story brick building next door to the site of the notori ous resort conducted years ago by Steve Brodie. In the cellar the. agents found two / vats- with a capacity of 1,000 gallons each. Most| of the liquor taken was stored on j the main floor. The "upper floorsI were used for bottling and casing wines.

GARDEN INSECTS Clemson College, March 29.?In controlling garden insects, there are two principal insecticides, suggests Prof. A. F. Conradi, chief of the entomology "division. One of these is arsenate of lead, which is a poison used for the chewing insects such as potato beetles and cahbage worms. The other is nicotine sulphate, which is recommended for plant life. It is well to keep these two insecticide? ?n hand. The arsenate of lead is purchased as a dry white powder, and should not be more than .75 of 1 percent water soluable. It may be used by dusting it in the morning when the plants are wet with dew at the rate of 1 to 2 pounds per aire, or it may be sprayed by adding one ounce of arsenate of lead to an ordinary 2 1-2 gallon pail of water. It should be remembered that be fore adding arsenate of lead, Paris green, calcium arsenate, or ny oth-j er powder to water, a little water should first be added and stirred into a paste. Those who desire to make up larger amounts for spray ing should write for Extension Cir cular 17. ^.Nicotine sulphate is a concen trated tobacco liquiif and the spray is made by adding a teaspoonful of nicotine sulphate to an ordinary 2 1-2 gallon of water. Soap suds, made from a piece of common soap about a cubic inih in size and added to the nicotine spray will improve it. Soap containing coal tar or naphtha should never be used.

It Is at last judicially determined that the proom at a wedding Is merely a necessary incident, accessory, or piece of furniture. The bride is . the whole <*a?t. In a diyorce action in Louisiana, in which defendant denied he was the man who had married plaintiff, nnd his identity with the bridegroom was In issue, the conrt says: ' "The only evidence Introduced by the defendant in support of his de nial that It was he who married plain tiff in Indianapolis on October 9, inii ...no ?kn (flaHmnnv nf The Pro ?VWI.?M.v.V bate judge who perfodtaed the cere mony and thut of tJhe proprietor of the Imperial hotel. The Probate Judge and the proprietor of the Imperial hotel both testified that they had Iden tified the plaintiff as soon as she had spoken to them when they stepped off the train In New Orleans; and from that circumstance, counsel for defendant argue that the Probate judce and the proprietor of the hotel | would surely have been able to identi fy the defendant if he were the in-! dividual to whom plaintiff was mar ried by the judge in presence of the hotel proprietor. ,We do not think so.

The new system requires no cord connection, but a novel type of plug, to be used with a special outlet, gives portabil ity not only to the lamp bulb, but to the entire fixture. The outlets are located in the parts of the room or es tablishment where occasional as well as permanent lighting may be desir able. The plug haw curved blades in stead of the ordinary straight ones, and is easily attached to any fixture. The outlet has tVvo parallel slots in a rounded triangular center. As the plug Is inserted with the curved blades pointing upward, electrical and me chanical connection are formed, and the heaviest household fixture la safe ly supported. The outlet will also re ceive the standard parallel-blade plug used with cord connections. To change a lamp from Its regular one It Is simply necessary to lift the fixture from its old location and plug It Into the desired outlet Can Hock the Flivver Now.

EAGLE PLyMES NO MORE From the New York Sun The last word in style for the In dians of the Southwest is turkey fea thers. The Hopis, Navajos and other tribes of that region are now wear ing the plumes of the Thanksgiving and Christmas fowl. Eagle .feathers the wearing of whic his decreed by every precedent and tribal law, are virtually unobtainable nnd the tribes have taken to turkey feathers. Since the turkey was selected for this honor it has been exalted to the rank of a sacred bird. Woe betide the Indian who takes the life of the blessed turkey, which are now to be seen scampering up and down the streets of the Indian villages. If an eagle is caught here it is carefully tied by one leg and anchor ed on the roof of the chief's hut and denuded of feathers. N Feathers are Sacred to Indian Feathers have an intense religious significance for Indians, and are valued for this far more than for their value as ornaments. To a Hopi, a feather is tantamount to a prayer, and the use of one or two feathers in his prayer is considered sufficient to insure a favorable reply. .When an Indian desires something urgently he will tie a feather to a stick and' conceal it in 'a shrine which h& hmself has constructed. This is considered extremely effica cious. Small, fluffy feathers dang ling from the ceilings of huts by strings are common sights. They represent prayers for trifles. Indi ans are always careiui to Keep a stock of feathers on hand, so that they will not be aught empty handed when an occasion for prayer arises. Feathers Worn By Knifht?, ToO However, it is pertty certain that the custom of knights and cavaliers of wearing feathers did not come from the Indians. In^the fourteenth century in the reign of Edward II it is set down that knights wore on their .shoulders ornaments called "ailettes" or little wings. All th6 men of that generation and those that immediately succeeded it wore plumes of ostrich feathers. These feather ornaments were worn on the left side that the right or sword arm should be free from hin drance. Peacock feathers were abandoned because their eyes were considered harbinger of bad luck. One chronicler writes that the men wore "feathers of preposterous size." Reports of the nineteenth century speqk of Mirriage hats trimmed with rose colored feathers and of others which employed cocks' feathers as trimming.
