NEW DEPARTURE. Washington Monument as a Motion Picture Screen. i v What is probably the largest motion picture screen in captivity is claimed by the city of Washington, D. C., says the Popular Science xr/yn^hl? fA* am Vior* IViUULUl ? LU i k;^i.viuuvi . It was nothing more or less than the Washington monument and it has x been pressed into service by the resourceful bureau of commercial economics, which has decided that as long as the out-of-door public must have its cinema entertainment, it can get along without Mary Pick ford and L Charlie Chaplin for the time being i and subject itself to an educational - movement. fj It is the avowed purpose of the bureau of commercial economics every once in a while to conduct mo. tion-picture shows which are to be f * strictly educational, and the pictures will be projected on the fair white sides of the Washington monument in the capital city. The bureau inaugurated its season bV a special "invitation performance" } on the evening of Decoration Day, when scenes from the Grand Canyon, the Yellowstone, the Yosemite, Crater Lake, Mount Rainer, Sequoia, and other nationally famous places were , flashed against the towering shaft. ^ On account of the monument's rough surface it was found necessary to project the pictures on a special * - silken screen, which a local florist provided together with a gigantic wreath having a diameter of thirtysix feet. Ticks and Prices. Washington, D. C., Sept. 13.?The average value of beef cattle over two ^ years old in ten tick-infested States? North and South Carolina, Georgia, H Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas ?was $25.90 on January 1, 1915. For the remainder of the country on that date it was $48.47. In Georgia . and Florida the average price was $18, in Alabama $20, in Mississippi WF $22, in South Carolina $23.00, in W" Louisiana $24. In every tick-free , State, with the exception of Vermont and Tennessee, the average value was $40 or more and in eighteen the average was over $50. There are two reasons why cattle in a ticky country are worth less than in a tick-free one. They weigh less and they bring less per pound. They bring less because they cannot be sold on the open market but must i be disposed of in quarantine pens for immediate slaughter only. Experi. enced dealers estimate that buyers offer from fifty cents to two dollars i a hundred weight less for cattle from below the quarantine line and the owner, who cannot transship his herd to another market or sell the animals as feeders, is in no position to stand out for a better price. Ticky cattle weigh less because they are scrubs to begin with and be. cause the tick sucks the blood they ' need to make flesh. Experiments have shown that when the ticks are abundant they will take in the course of the year 200 pounds of blood from a thousand-pound steer. They don't L take it all at once, of course, but they take it nevertheless and the steer, in order to live, has to make new blood. While he is busy at that, he is not likely to put on much weight. Fattening ticky steers is like trying to keep a leaky barrel full; there is a lot of waste in the process. Furthermore, as all cattlemen know, there is more money in grade stock than in scrubs. Elsewhere in the country farmers are turning their attention to grading up their herds, to securing animals that will respond r v to good treatment and feed; in the tick-infested sections of the South this has hpen imnossible for no one J will risk bringing pure-bred bulls into a ticky county to die from Texas fever. - , Both directly and indirectly, therefore, the tick keeps down the weight of Southern cattle and the eradication of the pest is essential if the Southern beef producer is to compete on even terms with producers elsewhere. The matter is as vital to the small farmer as to the large cat[ tie owner. Students of agriculture are all agreed that the average Souther ern farm today has too little stock upon it for its own good. The reason is obvious. Under the conditions t created by the tick, cattle raising is not a sufficiently attractive industry to appeal to the average man. Without the tick, the business assumes a different aspect. This has been abundantly demonstrated in those f sections in which the tick has been eradicated. Almost invariably the tick's disappearance is accompanied by an increase in the quantity and an i l'ronrnTromfint in t Vl finalitl' (~?f tVlO llilpi \J V t XX. A tiiv yj V A. country's live stock.

Legislation for National I*reparedness Feature of Session. Congress adjourned sine die Friday morning at ten o'clock, concluding a session, record-breaking in many respects, with appropriations and authorizations for the future running wpII toward two billion dol lars. Important bills passed by the sixty-fourth congress since last December include preparedness, rural credits, Philippines, child labor, vocational training, workmen's compensation, eight-hour day law for railroads, shipping, good roads, emergency revenue and rivers and harbors measures. Other important acts of congress were the ratification of the Nicaraguan and Haitian treaties, the confirmation of Louis D. Brandeis as associate justice of the United States supreme court, the rejection of the nomination of George F. Rublee to the federal trade commission, and the defeat of the Gore and McLemore resolutions to tie. the president's hands in dealing with the submarine crises with Germany. Each of these acts involved warm controversy. By far the biggest achievement ofj congress, in the opinion of leaders on both sides, was the passage of the I preparedness programme. This programme was divided into six bills, Ti'liinVi onnrnnrio f oH o fr\fol nf r?oor. ?* appi uyi jLuivu u iv/iux vi nwu* i ly seven hundred million dollars for the national defense. The six preparedness bills were the army reorganization bill, the naval appropriation bill, the army appropriation bill, the fortifications bill, and the naval and military academy bills. The army reorganization bill is designed to increase the regular army to approximately one hundred and seventy-five thousand enlisted men and eleven thousand officers, peace strength, and to raise the strength of the national guard to approximately four hundred and forty thousand enlisted men and seventeen thousand officers. The army appropriation bill provides two hundred and sixty-seven million dollars to pay for these increases. The naval appropriation bills authorize a three-year building programme of 157 ships, including ten dreadnoughts and six battle cruisers and provides three hundred and thirteen million dollars to pay the first year's installment. Importance of Dandelion. Dandelion, once looked upon as only a weed, is rapidly becoming a plant of commercial importance. The Scientific American prints pictures of a dandelion farm near New Haven, . Conn., and of the gathering of the crop, detailing at the same time some of the manifold virtues of the plant. "The use of the dandelion leaves as a pot herb or salad in the early spring is well known in this country," it says. "The country people make from them a tonic recommended for purifying \he blood. Its use for the table has become so universal I that in a number of places large ! fields are devoted entirely to its cul| ture. The leaves when boiled form I an agreeable substitute for the spinach and other greens at a much earlier period of the season than that in which any other plant is found to ripen in this climate. The flow| ers are used for making so-called dandelion wine." Many tons of dandelion roots are imported from Germany, Austria and j France every year, local growers seemingly not knowing that the roots are worth more than the tops. They are dug up in the late fall or early j spring, when they contain the full | virtue of their medical qualities. The j dried root is sold by wholesale druggists at from 22 to 28 cents a pound. ?New York World. The Dream of Love. To love a dream forever and dream of love today?
