War on Insects
Atlantic City.—The future will see a
“titanic” struggle for existence waged
between man and insects, members of
the New Jersey Mosquito Extermina-
tion association were told by Dr. L. O.
Howard, chief entomologist of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture.
“Insects now consume each year the
equivalent of the labor of a million

Argentine Protests
Beirut, Syria. — To protest
against the attitude adopted by
Syrian Moslems toward Argen-
tine women, the Argentine gov-
ernment has closed its consulate
in Beirut.
The consul stated that Argen-
tine women of the Christian
faith marrying Syrian Moslems
abroad and later accompanying
their husbands to Syria suffer
considerable hardships. On ar-
rival in Syria they are confined
in harems as is customary with
native women, and forced in
every way to conform to the
Moslem mode of life.
New York.—Capt. C. W. R. Knight
of England recently demonstrated his

dents of Sweetbriar college, Virginia,
to be their queen at the annual May
to give the bird exercise and that the
bird enthusiasts, some of whom were
members of the Explorers’ club, had
been given permission to view the
eagle.
The eagle weighs about 16 pounds
and has been trained to retrieve game
and other objects thrown by Captain
Knight. The eagle, which is being
kept at the Bronx zoo, was brought to
the Putnam estate in a closed car by
Captain Knight and was kept blind-
folded until ready for the “exercises.”
Captain Knight explained that he was
better able to keep the bird under
control when it was blindfolded.
As soon as the blind was removed
from the bird's eyes the eagle perched
on Captain Knight's shoulder. Cap-
tain Knight threw pieces of meat and
dead rabbits as far as he could, and
these were brought back to him by
the eagle,
Among those who witnessed the
flight was Capt. Bob Bartlett of the
Morrissey, who took the Putnam ex-
pedition to the Arctic.

have a great advantage over human
beings both anatomically and physi-
cally. Man's superior intelligence is
all that has enabled him to even be-
gin to check the advance of insects.
A serious struggle is ahead.
“Rapidity of motion, and frequency
of multiplication, quick adaptation to
conditions, powers of concealment and
no long period of helpless infancy, are
some of the advantages that insects
have over men.”
As a means of preparing for the
battle with insects, Doctor Howard
suggests that colleges and universi-
ties devote more attention to en-
tomology as a step in the mobilization
of a trained army of insect fighters
capable of waging successful warfare
against the enemy,
The importance of oiling small
bodies of water and emptying casks
and tin cans containing water was
emphasized as a means of holding
mosquitoes in check.

Idea for Milk Container
The plan for delivering milk fin
paper containers sounds extravagant.
What is the housekeeper going to do
with the containers when the milk
has beén used? Throw them out.
Now, our idea is to have the bottles
made of the same material as cones
for ice cream, and rendered imper-
vious to moisture by being treated
with some digestible fat. Then the
housewife can use the milk and eat
the container, and there will be no
waste.—Exchange.

Despite their tender ages the serv-

be broken up and the brothers sent

youngsters, that would seem to call

How these dully gleaming giants

for the first time in connection with

a bright little fellow, is to be seen
with his chest and head cut open and
all his insides revealed. Young John

Bewildered, young John follows the
directions, and sure enough, walks
straight into a restaurant.
Now what has happened is this:
When the youth pushed the button on
Rupert’s tummy a light showed on a
switchboard in front of a man at a
table in a control room.
He immediately “plugged in” on Ru-
pert, lighting up Rupert's eyes and
establishing a telephonic contact with
a microphone hidden behind a silver
gauze-covered hole in Rupert's front.
Thus the man at the central control
station heard young John's question | with head lights and tail lights at
