BIG TREE YIELDED TO AGE Chestnut In Which Washington Is Said to Have Hidden Collapses at Yonkers, New York. Maybe there's no truth in the tradition that George Washington once hid In the hollow trunk of the great chestnut tree thut Until recently stood In the front yard of Charles F. Coy, Yonkers. New York. But folk thereof about believe he did. just as they he" lieve that the tree was 700 or 800 years old when It died a few years ago, and was the oldest and biggest tree of any variety not only in Westchester county but In New York state. The trunk, which wus about 35 feet tall and about 35 feet In cireumfer...ao nut I cuur, nuuiruuiK lu air. ^ao \ ui down by the department of public works of Yonkers, and its dismembered remains carted away. Said Mr. Ooy: "Before it died that tree produced the biggest and sweetest-tasting chestnuts I ever saw. After Its death a vine that covered It made It still an object of beauty. Just as Its vast size and age mode It an object of admiration. "The top was broken off about the time It died. I never knew lt^ exuct height. But I do know that a deal of tradition had grown up uround it and that It commonly was rated the largest" tree in this part of the country. I am sure It was the biggest In tills county." TO DESTROY INSECT PESTS Two Forma of Insecticides Necessary for Successful Protection of Plants and Foliage. r*n not wnsto vonr flint* sum vine - parts preen on inserts that suck the Juices from plants anil follape. such as lice, preen, black anil whi.e aphis or fly, mealy hup. reil spider anil scale, by tlirustlnp their proboscis Into the leaf or stem, for they are not affected by stomach poisons. Tlvey must be destroyed by contact insecticides. Those in powder form kill by closinp the breathinp pores in the insect's skin, or in fluid form by belnp absorbed through these pores, the American Forestry Magazine points out. The best contact insecticides in powder form are hellebore, slup shot and tobacco dust. The best in fluid form are aphine. black leaf 40, fish (whale) oil soap, nicotine (tobacco extract), kerosene, miscihle oil and lemon oil. Insects Uiat eat plants, follape. vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., whether bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or slugs are more quickly and effectually destroyed with a poisonous stomachic insecticide such as arsenate of lead, paris preen or hellebore. These, If applied according to directions, are so diluted as to be harmless to vegetation and to animal life. Less poisonous stomachic and contact Insecticides are kerosene emulsion, slug shot, etc. Boy "Policeman"' Gets Results. Bill Zerbe, formerly of Indianapolis, io uiuiut vjrvit; jniiiieuimi 111 me i/(igansport police department. Both the young and old know Bill because of his record as a tamer of speeders. A few days ago the driver of an automobile permitted the motor of his / -u machine to run while he went Into a ( store. When he came out he found a piece of paper In the front seat of the car. On the paper were these words: "You are pinched for permitting the engine of your machine to run over 15 minutes. Bill Zerbe." The driver of the car went to police headquarters to pay his flue and exhibit the evidence thnt he had been caught. On being assured that the paper presented had not been prepared by Zerbe, the driver of the machine recalled that he bad seen a small boy with a broad grin on his face standing near when be started toward the police station.?Indianapolis News. Electricity to Locate Metal. The idea of using current trans/mitted through the earth as a means of locatlhg metal ores Is familiar, the belief being that the greater conductivity of these metalliferous regions can be clearly Indicated, and the area mapped out, says the Scientific American. The location of oil deposits, which according to the Electrical Review Is now being Investigated elec iiiiauj, iiicscuiB n iDuvrrw prouiem. In this case the Insulating properties of the oil diminish the current, and oil-bearing regions are detected accordingly. In view of the great depth to which It Is often necessary to bore for oil?oil that only exists simultaneously with an almost oil-free area above?the method would seem to have limitations, but It has doubtless possibilities In dealing with surface oil areas. That Decided Him. George was In n despondent mood. "But, Mnhei, dear," he said, "marriage Is out of the question Just now. You seem to have forgotten that I'm a poor clerk on a meager salary." "Oh, George, don't let poverty Interfere with our happiness. We cnn live on one meal a day, if necessary." "But you know nothing of household duties, sweetheart. Why, you can't even cook." "Indeed,"I can, lovec I hnve kept It secret from you but the time has come for my confession. George, dear, I got a certificate from a domestic aclence school three months ago." The yonng man jjasped. "My darling," he said, "come to my arms. It shall he as you wish?one mesl a toy will be more than enpugh." THE DILI MADAME POST ha? moved her beauty parlor from 27 S.
