Society Men and High Rents
Cause Of Race Suicide.
United Press Service.
Chicago, July 18- —Young
Mr. Husband of moderate means
who sacrifices his parenthood so
that he may live in a flat with a
good view of the lake and a
southern erposure, or that he
may engage in polite revelry,
came in for a scoring today by
Winchester Bodine, superintend
ent of compulsory education, in
charge of the city census just
completed. Statistics gathered
so far, Bodine states, indicate
that the fashionable apartment
house district of Chicago, es
pecially along the north shore,
are sadly in lack of children.
“In considering the state of
affairs which causes a lack of
children along the north shore
apartment house district”, said
Bodine, “I believe the society
man is more to blame than the
society woman- Quite often the
gay life of young husbands sets
a pace that kills the health of
fatherhood, and children that
do come are weaklings. Pros
perity to many brings self-indul
gence. Many prosperous men,
you will notice, play with their
automobile like the poorer man
would play with his baby.
“Another tendency that caus- j
es race suicide is the high rent
of desirable apartments. A fam
ily with an average income de
sires a good flat- Good flats are
1 expensive- A young couple can
I often afford a four room abode,
which furnishes sleeping space
for two. The family is natural
ly prejudiced in the mater of
children under such circumstan
ces and little by little the desire
for family additions is smother
ed in the artificial economy of
their new lives.”
The Twenty-first ward, popu
lated mostly by folks of moder
ate means, is keeping its repu
tation for a small birth rate, Bo
dine stated. The Twenty-fifth
ward, where there are more
young brides living than in any
quarter of Chicago, threatens to
fall into line with the Twenty
first,

How To Control The Army j
Worm- I
I I have reports this week from ,
j farmers asking for information;
! on how to control the army
i worm and the boll worm. To
date the reports have all come
from the river bottom sections
The army worm is a blue green
ish slender worm, wtih black
spots and stripes on his back
When moving he “bows” up in
the center. The damage done
is most severe in the late sum
mer, but he is present nearly all
summer. There are several
generations each year. That is
why it is necessary to kill out
the early generations now.
The army worm is controlled
with a Paris Green spray. Ar
senate of lead powder may also
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOq CHXXXXXXXX^VCXXXXXXXXXXJtXXXJ
I
be used. Mix about one pound
of low grade flour; this should
spray one acre- Two rows can
be dusted at one trip across the
field by balancing two sacks a
cross a mule’s back.
The cotton boll worm is some
what darker than the army
worm and is a common garden
pest. This is the same worm
that attacks the ends of the
ears of corn as well as the bolls
of cotton- The same remedy for
the army worm will control the
boll worm now- However, re
member that you can destroy
them if you will plow deep this
fall.
The control of these pests is
a serious problem to some of us
now, and we should by all means
break the land in the fall, not
only for the worms and other
3ests and other many good re
sults that come from fall plow'
ing and growing of wbnter cov
er crops. I only mention the
fall plowing because of its close
connection to the control of crop
pests. It is our best remedy and
in addition is the best method j
for proper preparation. I have j
a bulletin on the cotton boll
worm whch I will be glad to
send you.
If it rains it will be necessary
to apply again the above reme
lies, and remember that both
Paris Green and Arsenate of
Lead are deadly poisons- If the
wind is blowing tie a handker
shief across your mouth. Do not
swallow the dust particles when
^ 1__J_L
r wu civ/ui juui i/iuuat auu waou
)ff the animals that have been
carrying the sacks. Do not al
ow stock to eat where poison
las been applied.
The army worm may also be
lestroyed with a mixture of
>ne pound of Paris Green, 50
►ounds of wheat bran, the juice
>f from three or four oranges,
ind make a dough of the mix
ure with cheap, black molasses.
Scatter this about in the parts
if the field infested with the
rorm.
And this fall make your prep
rations for a great deal of fall
►lowing. It doesn't matter
whether you have crop pests to
ontrol or not, we have no
aeans of knowing whether they
nil reach our farm. The great
st benefits will result in hav
ug a winter cover crop, and in
laving a good seed bed next year
nd better soil.

'TYPICAL DINNER IN FRANCE
i Princess Hassan Tells of a Meal and
Its Service in the Land of
True Epicures.
A typical French dinner—not an
exceptional one, mark you, but such
a dinner as a small tradesman's fam
i lly would have—is incomparably su
; perfor to the plain roast dinner.
There would be, first of all, a few
relishes, according to the season of
the year. Radishes, Ice cold, sardines,
olives, caviar. Just a little of each
with which to awaken the appetite,
then the 3oup to excite gently the
liquids of the throat and stomach,
then a little entree—usually a bit of
fish with Its appropriate vegetable,
sr a handful of vegetables flavored
with meat sauce. Then, and not tlU
then, does the chief course appear.
It may be a roast, or game, or
chicken, or chops, but in no case will
It be anything which Is not In har
mony with the previous courses and It
will be eaten in moderation, for the
edge of the diner's appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
j have preceded it. With it comes the
i salad—varied throughout the year by
; all the possible changes of the sea
! son. and never, never by any possi
! bility will It be such a dreadful green
| hybrid as the romaioe, strawberry
j and green pepper thing. After the
! salad there will be fruit or mellow
| cheese, and then coffee. It will take
j two hours to eat such a dinne'r, but It
will take only half what the typical
! American dinner costs to pay for it
j and there will be no indigestion aft
| erwurd, no matter of what the din*
j aer la composed.—Princess Hassan in
I an Interview by Louise Rice in the
! Delineator.
: GIVE THIS A LITTLE THOUGHT
! There 5a a Point to This Importer
Joke, But Perhaps You Will Have
To Look for It.
This Is not an American Joke. The
reader is solemnly warned that H
Is of German extraction. Germans,
as everybody knows, like their Jests
broad and brutal. The victim of this
one was Cousin Hugo.
It seems Cousin Hugo made a night
of it and got home as the small hours
began to cease to be so small. Ai
he climbed the stairs he stumbled (In
spite of the most elaborate care) and
rolled down into the hall below. Ths i
consequence, for Cousin Hugo Is not
so young as he used to be, was a brok
en collarbone and a strained back.
Ahead even of the milkman, then,
came the family doctor, an estimable
old gentleman, and administered
soothing words while he encased the
patient in plaster.
T know, my dear sir," he said, “thal
It hurts like the deuce, but It is not
a bit dangerous. All the same you’ll
have to stay in bed for a while. You
got a nasty fall. How did It happen!
Was it dark?”
"It was not, doctor," replied Cousin '
Hugo with some asperity, “It was.
light."
But perhaps you are not a beer*
drinker.—New York Evening Post.
Curing Wood.
Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood in a lumber yard may be
sick and Infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting weights in a new
building. Some of the diseases are so
contagious that In a building they win
Jump several feet across masonry or

Cures were recently discussed by the
American Society of Mechanical En

Says Ante Do Not Co-Operate.
M. Cornetz, a practised observer of
Insect life, asserts that ants know
nothing of co-operation In their soda} j
life. In proof he cites an experiment j
which any one can repeat Offer as
ant a piece of cheese shaped like «
shuttle; It seizes the tip. turns It
about and starts dragging it in the di
rection of its nest. Other ants arrive
and seize the cheese by its sides. It
continues to advance, but more slowly.
There is no united effort; each ant
is trying to turn the crumb of cheese
around. If we chase off the ants os
the right the cheese will turn to thi
right, for the other ants are pushing
it Chase off those on the left and it .
turns to the left for the same reason.
Chase off the one that is pulling It and
it stands still, for the ants on each side
counteract each other. I
M. Cornetz holds this a proof that
each ant is acting for himself alone.

China “Called*’ Livingstons.
It Is not generally known that Liw '
Ingstone originally had the intention t
of devoting himself to the work of “a !
pioneer of Christianity in China." It |
was as such that he offered hi ms eh ,
to the London Missionary society In ■
t8S7, but when he had received his [
diploma from the faculty of physicians c
and surgeons in 1840, he found China [
closed to him. as Great Britain was ‘

his meeting with Moffat, who had re -
cently returned from South Africa, c
that led his steps to the Dark Couth {
