STATE POLICE WARN PARTY 1
AGAINST SPEEDING?SAID
TO RACE AT SIXTY MILES
Baltimore June 13.?Published
reports that members of the State *
police force set the pace for Persi- j"
tdent Harding's party of motorists on ^
Ifacir recent trip through Maryland
^Uorrt Valley Forge to Washington, j
- when they were alleged to have sped
along the Washington Boulevard at
fifty or sixty miles an hour, were .
denied recently by Capt. Roger H. ^
Williams in a report made to Auto- ^
mobile Commisisoner Bauhman.
The report indicates that four of
the state police did escort the President
from Rising Sun to Overlea,
tut that there was no such body- ^
guard with the Presidential party be- t
tween Baltimore and Washington. It ^
is further stated that, while the po- .
lice were with the party, tho cars
traveled at a speed of thirty-five
miles <an hour most of the time j
though at times it may have been g
tip to thirty-seven or thirty-eight .
miles.
Two others who saw the President (
4-V.a _WKIfo Hmico Viqvp
<vu ma wa) irv uic nuivt **w??v ^
^'*reported that at Bakers Gulch, a ^
speed of forty miles an hour was be- t
Ing indulged in and that the passage s
through Hyattsville was made at a r
speed of between thirty-five and ,
thirty-eight miles. The speed limit j
through Hyattsville is fixed by law
At fifteen miles an hour. Officer Ver- ^
million, who encountered the party
at Bakers Gulch, reported that he ^
reprimanded the first car for violating
the Maryland speed laws. , j
When the alleged violation of
Maryland speed laws was brought to ^
the attention of Secretary Christian j
at the White House recently the only s
comment he would make was with ^
reference to the report of Officer Vernillion
that he had reprimanded "the .j
first car of the President's party."
Christian said that the first car was g
the President's car and denied that it ?
had been stopped cr a warning given t
either to the President or its chauf- ?
! 2
feur. Mr. Christian admited, howev- ?
ei, that the state officer had stopped t
the car in which he was riding and
given warning, and that the other cars
which followed had been similarly j
warned. He said that when it was ex- '
plained to the officer that all of the
cars belonged to the President's party g
^"*<he told them to proceed.

From Farm to City v
c
During the past fifty years there
has been a steady movement from the
farms to the cities.
This has been a matter of grave
importance to those who have simply \
read the population figures, but have
not analyzed the reasons back (f this
movement.
The usual explanation is that life E
in the city is more attractive than h
country life; that people like the ii
noise and bustle, the smoke and grime, h
Perhaps so, but back of this there t;
is a more fundamental reason why b
city dwellers tend to increase, while d
the population of the farm remains h
stationary. d
For instance, a large part of farm r
labor was (once devoted to the breeding
of horses. The horse is now be- li
ii. replaced by the automobile tind the s
tractor, which are strictly city prod- m
ucts.
Horse breeders are now mechanics.
Possibly the same men have net
changed jobs, but a city industry has
1 1
repiaceu larm iauui.
Again, fifty years ago farm work
was done largely by hand. Now the
farmer has the reaper, multiple plotv,
and the thresher. This machinery is
iall made in cities. In eliminating
farm labor the introduction of laborsaving
machinery has created city
^?Time was when the farmer built his
own fences and split logs which he
cut from his woods. Now he buys .
wire fences and steel posts from city
maunfacturers. {
Milk was once separeated and made {
into butter and cheese on each individ- j
ual farm, but the program now is to ship
the raw milk to the city where (
great distributing companies handle
it on a large scale, taking the surplus
of milk which arrives in the spring *
and storing it until summer, when it j
is made into ice cream.
f If we multiply these examples Dy (
several hundred we begin to under- J
stand why a stationary or even a decreasing
farm population can continue
to support a growing population.
Labor-saving machinery is distinctly
a city product.
The man who works in a shop in
Chicago "making reapers is contributing
to the agricultural output of the
nation just as much, and more, than
if he were actually cutting grain in
Kansas.

TREATING WATERMELONS
TO PREVENT STEM-END ROT
V. Simple and Inexpensive Treatment
of Stems Will Prevent An
Enormous Loss.
Clemson College, June 21.?A simile
and inexpensive ti-eatment of the
terns at the time watermelons are
oaded for shipment will prevent stemmd
rot, the most menacing disease
hat melon growers in the South Atantic
states have to contend with,
ays F. L. Harkev, field agent in marketing,
who is receiving many inquires
about the matter from melon grow;rs
in this state. This disease, which
isually develops during transit to the
narkets, causes an annual loss to the
growers of Florida, Alabama, Georgia,
and South Carolina of over 2,500
arloads worth approximately $1,166,100
according to market values. The
leatment consists of applying with a
rush to the freshly cut stems a disinfectant
paste made of common
tarch with which has been mixed 6
>er cent, of copper sulphate, common
y called bluestone. The fresh cuts
should be made at the car and the disnfectant
applied at once.
It is estimated that the disease
causes a loss of 20 per cent, of the
rop. The treatment which has been
ested by the Department of Agriculure
during the past three seaSbns, has
shown uniformly favorable results.
The cost should not exceed 50 cents
i car for material, and $1 a car for
abor. Application of the paste, if
)roperly made wil! not interfere with
he normal speed of packing the car.
In making this disinfecting paste
lse a large kettle of enameled ware,
is the bluestone attacks iron or tin.
?Jace 3 1-2 quarts of water and 8
rnnces of bluestone in the kettle and
>ring the mixture to a boil. While
t is heating, mix in a separate vessel
4 ounces of starch with one pint
if cold water, stirring until a milky
solution free from lumps is obtained.
^.s soon as the bluestone is entirely
lissolved and the solution is boiling,
idd the starct mixture, pouring it in
i slow* stream and stirring vigorously
o prevent lumps . Continue boiling
md stirring until the starch thickens
venly, which should not require more
han two minutes after the starch is ]
dded.
The paste seems to bemore readiy
applied when fresh, but it will keep
, week or two by using one-fourth or
ne-half the propotion previously
pecified and then diluting the resultJit
thickened paste to the proper conistency
when needed. Fruit jars '
rith glass or enameline tops make
onvenient containers.
