Taking her left hand, while she was looking into his face for the admiration she merited, he slipped off the ring again and disappeared in a cloud of thought. \ , m , Bam!?He had been keeping company with her for eight years and hud never mentioned marriage, and she had decided to give him a strong hint at the first opportunity she might have. It came ono autumn afternoon. , As they started for a walk into the country she caught up a bright red sweater to wear. He touched her arm. "I wouldn't wear that if I were you, Phyllis," he said; "the field which we shall cross has a Jersey bull in it and?" "Oh, then I won't wear it," she answered emphatically, throwing the red sweater or. a dialf.

Very Obecure.?Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the English actress, lives In the manner of the days gene by, and she hns lost none of the gift of repartee, which has brought her delighted listeners and not a few enemies in times past. Recently she was invited to a dinner and could not find the house, finally having to induce a policeman to help her hunt for it. She arrived at the party very late, still escorted by the patrolman. "Reallyj you're very obscure, my dear," she to'd her host. "You're not even known by the police." Wit Didn't Fail.?Jack had returned to his ship apparently under the influence of drink, and was being interviewed by the officer of the watch. That worthy, to prove whether Jack was drunk or not, ordered him to repeat the sentence: "The Irish constabulary extinguished the conflagration." Jack stood for a minute, blinking, apparently stunned by the magnitude of the task. Then, with a smile of triumph, he blurted out: "The Irish coppers put the lire out!"

"Yes," admitted Kent, "and yester- ; day I heard a story that confirms the idea.

Wiley, a prominent newspaperman of Cincinnati and Washington, directly charged before the committee that the bill was not really aimed at racing at all, but was plainly and | simply an effort to muzzle the news-1 papers of the country through the imposition of a government censorship. I He pointed out exactly how the broad j language of the bill might work out toj prevent printing even the results of i non-professional athletics.

"It this bill is passed, and congress wants to be consistent," he continued, "it would have to forbid publication of stock quotations and bank clearings, for pools are made on them as well as on baseball news published in the newspapers. What this comes to is an attempt to Russianize and destroy the American press." Oruj witness before the committee frankly declaied that there were a million people who bet on horse racing, and that he d.id not in any way condemn the "evil of gambling." This was Henry D.

BOLL WEEVIL A* GRAVE PROBLEM Government Wou'd Have Airplanes Stations Stretched Across the Cotton Belt?Deadly Poison Would Be Dropped on Fields from the Flying Ships?Plan Would be Costly. By Frederic J. Hnakin. "Washington, D. C.?That the airplane, togetlcr with some of the instruments for the use of poison gas and liquid flame, may be successfully used against insects, which arc man s worst enemies, next to himself, seems to be indicated by experiments which have been conducted here.and there. The most successful experiment, and that upon which most of the high hopes seem to bo based, was the spraying of a grove of ornamental iforto in r?hin from nn airnlr.ro. which completely destroyed the caterpillars Infesting the trees at a single flight The material used was calcium arsenate, carried in a hopper below the plane, as the machine passed over the trees it heavily dusted with the poisonous material a belt of land 600 feet wide. It is reported that 99 per cent, of the caterpillars wore killed and. that the ground, after the attack, was literally covered with the dead. Now the* Department of Agriculture is at work on a plan for the use of the rirplane in fighting its ancient enemy, the bell weevil. Millions have already been spent by the government m its fight on the weevil, and millions have been lost by reason of the fact that the boll weevil has not been destroyed. The boll weevil has for generations literally been eating the shirts off our backs and tires off our cars?for cotter as much as rubber is the basis of tire construction. The Weevil Army. The problem of fighting the boll weevil would seem to be in some respects much like that of checking an army. The boll weevil advances slowly along an immense front. The difficulty is to cover that whole front at one tiMe, so as to check- the advance effectively. Presumably, if the advance could be checked, the enemy could be destroyed, but Eradicating the weevil here and there docs no permanent good, if he Is spreading in other places. Thus the government, cannot well put a large enough ajmy in the field tc check the weevil all along his advancing front at once by hand spraying. T:*c individual planter docs what be can, but what between the boll weevil and the fluctuating price of cotton, be often lacks the funds to do the work. One planter may spend $15 an acre in intensive spraying, and clean the boll weevil out of his farm.

Signed may he a'poor tenant farmer who cannot afford to spend even the $6 an acre which is necessary if any crop is to be made at all. So the weevil, checked at one place, advances at another. The plan skUched out by the gov eminent calls for a so'-ies of airplane .stations reaching: clear across the cotton belt on the boll weevil front. When you realize that a single plane flying: across this front might destroy the weevil completely over a swath COO feet wide, and when you reflect how much time and how many men it would take to do tho same work by hand, .you get some idea of the possibilities of the new method. But it has its difficulties, too. The spray, to be effective, must be done at ni^ht when the dew is on the plant, it seems. The air service, however, seems to be prepared and willing to undertake the work under these conditions. Then again, the expense will be heavy. Calcium arsenate costs about 10 certs a pound, and enormous quantities of it would be necessary for this uivasn incuioa ui oisuiuuuun, Is no doubt that the work would far more than pay for Itself in the cotton it would save. There, as in 30 many other ways, the clumsiness of modern industrial and government methods comes in. Tho trouble is that the saving cannot be applied to the cost of the work. If the work is to be done by the government, it must be paid for by the taxpayer. Rut the taxpayer feels that ho is already being taxed enough, chiefly to keep up the army and navy and pay the war debts, and if he has an ounce of sense he knows that saving of th^s cotton is not at all sure to reduce tho price of a cotton shirt to him. As for the planter, he wants the boll weevil exterminated badly enough in order that his whble living may not bo eaten lip by the pest, but its complete cesirucuon uocs nui itmui an; - , tainly increased income to him. In I fact, a large cotton crop is apt to > mean a low cotton price for the farmer, so that he really cannot afford any extra large investment in this work. These same obstacles, rooted in the i stupid inefficiency of industrial orgs nidation and political government, are found blocking the path of numerous projects for the furtherance of man's control over nature. Science devises a solution of the problem, but industry and government seem designed to obstruct putting the solution into ef'ect. The fact of the matter Is that, while the physical sciences have advanced steadily since the Middle Ages, trade and governmental methods remain medieval in many respects. Our methods of regulating commerce, our diplomacy ai^j our v/ars, for example are all essentially medieval. We cannot stop to elaborate this important idea, because.this is a story about bugs.

Of course, the insects are i slowly fretting the best of us overy- I where, ami many scientists, especially entomologists, see life as a battle for ] suDrcmacv between man and the in- ] sects. Insects devour our crops and our forests and carry many of the deadliest diseases. The mosquito and the boll weevil, the Hessian fly and the gypsy moth and the long list of other insect pests are man's most serious enemies. The insects have the enormous advantages of being very small, very numerous and very prolific. We cannot destroy them ono by one as we do our other* natural enemies. The insect problem was admirably posed by that friend of the human race who, some years ago, advertised a positive method of destroying potato bugs. He sent to inquirers, for one dollar, two ! small blocks of wood with instructions | to put the potato bug on one djock and hit him with the other. , ? ? < PRINCESS IS SAD. !
