a menace to the grain fields of the

parasite to war on the fly has been
evolved by this department under
the direction of W. A. McConnell, its
chief.
When those experiments were first
begun, Mr. McConnel states, but two
kinds *if parasite were known to
combat the ravages of the fly, but
now twenty varieties have been de
veloped, and as soon as a few final
tests are completed. it is ex
pecfd thnt the new parasite will be
distributed In certain localities where
tho trouble from the grain pest is
most keenly felt.
Other experiments along similar
lines are being conducted by this
department which was recently
brought to Carlisle through the
Chamber of Commerce. Extensive
and complete laboratories have been
fitted up here and a corps of five
trained assistants will re-enforce Mr.
McConnel during the summer and
will remain here.
This division has charge of a
number of States, Including Penn.

THE ItOAnsiDIC MAIIKLTS
OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Any ranrhmm of southern Califor
nia who chances to dwell along one
of the main arteries of vehicular traf
fic may enter Into the roads'de-mar
ket business with but little effort and
almost no investment. The mechanics
of the roadside market are seldom
more elaborate than some form of
roof to offer protection from the sun,
a few racks for displaying the prod
ucts, and a wheelbarrow, pushcara, or
other conveyance for carrying the
Btock Into the market from the ranch
in the background on which it is pro
duced.
Sunday, when the highways are
thronged with thousands of motor
cars, and the motoring population of
the larger cities seek the open coun
try, is the harvest day for the road
side markets. The advent of the in
stitution has also developed the
southern California Sunday into the
market day of many motorists who
seek to combine their Sunday's outing
with the opportunity to purchase
their next week's supply of fresh
foodstuffs at prices representing a
considerable saving over city-market
prices.
The ranchmen have learned that it
is easier and essentially more profit
able for them to dispose of their pro
duce, or even a portion of it, at their
very gates than to be put to the ex
pense of hauling to the city markets
and then accepting a narrower mar
gin of profit. Sumultaneously the mo
toring public has learned that it is
more logical to secure fresh produce
which has come from the tree or gar
den on the day it is purchased, and at
minimum prices, than to buy from
the city markets produce which may
have been in stock several davs anil
to the retail price of which a multi
tude of middlemen's profits must nec
essarily be added—By John Kdwin
Hogg, in the Popular Mechanics Mag
azine.

How the War Can Be
Won From the Skies
Tremendous plans are now being formed to deliver a crippling blow at Germany's military
efficiency, not only "putting out her eyes," but spreading havoc by aerial armadas numbered by
thousands. Vast sums are to be spent for the establishment of an American air-fleet on a colossal
scale, and training-schools for air-pilots are beginning to spring up like mushrooms over night.
During the past three years, there has been in Europe not only an immense development of the
art of flying, but a specific evolution of the allied art of the aerial duello.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for July 7th, one of the most interesting articles is a translation
from the French of Oscar Ribel, Chief Instructor in a French "School of Pilotage." This article ex
plains in much detail, the tactics of air-fighting. It is illustrated by sketches which visualize the tac
tics of pursuit, offense, and defense.
