BATS HELD ABLEST FOE OF CODDLING APPLE MOTH San Antonio Expert Says Havoo ‘Wrought on Crops May Be Re- duced/to Minimum. By the Associated Press. SAN ANTONIO, October 13.—Bats can reduce to a minimum the havoc wrought on the apple crops by the coddling moth, declares Dr. Charles A. R. Campbell, San Antonio bat authority. The coddling moth is particularly pernicious to the apple-growing dis- tricts of the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Campbell and W. Kelley Price, apple grower of Selah, Wash., conducted tests which satisfled them that the bat can eradicate the coddling moth as it does many malaria-carrying mosquitoes in south Texas. Price sent the doctor some of the coddling moths and some guano from bats of the Yakima Valley. It was in the microscopic examination of this excretion that it was ascertained that the food of bats in that vicinity was almost 95 per cent coddling moths. —_— PLAN FOR BUS HEARING.

SIOUX FALLS, 8. bak., October 13—With nearly all crime news elim- inated and ‘“streamers” missing, the annual History Club edition of the Sloux Falls Press today was declared a success by the women who publish- ed the paper and sold it on the streets. It was the third time in three years that the members of the Sfoux Falls History Club had full charge of the paper, a privilege granted by the Press So the women may put their ideas into the making of a newspaper. Woman reporters “covered” all the regular beats, police headquarters, po- litical meetings and theaters. Women also had charge of the advertising and circulation departments. The ac- count of the Jack Sharkey-Harry Wills_fight was put on page one. Mrs. R. D. Springer, managing editor for the day, said the victory of Shark- ey “was bigger news than a win for ‘Wills would have been.” If the negro had won_the story would have been “played down” on an inside page, she said, because the fight would have re- sulted as the public expected. Most crime news found the waste basket, with the exception of the Chi- ocago gangland feud, which was “bur- fed” on an inside sheet. Mrs. Spring- er sald the story was a “disgrace” to any city. Because yesterday was a holiday, there was no New York stock report, but if there had been it would not have been published, according to Mrs. Springer, who did not care to print accounts of what she termed “a gamblers’ market.” Other avail- able market reviews found their usual places. S Sioux Falls news sent over the As- soclated Press last night was filled by the regular correspondent, a member of the paper’s staff. RELIEF SESSION TONIGHT.

A meeting has been called for this evening in the Jewish Community Center to discuss the situation. Mr. Behrend, freturning from a meeting of the national committee in Chicago, reported that two-thirds of the' fund sought already had been raised. There can be no doubt, he sald, of the need for relief. Condi- tions are especially bad in Russia, he said, where the anti-commercial policy of the Soviet government has reduced once prosperous communitie of Jews to the gtatus-ef starving BOOK DECISION PRAISED. Merchants Glad Commissioners Banned Annual Volume. The action of the District Com- missioners in denying the City Em- ployes’ Assoclation the privilege of publishing its anual book was com- mended yesterday by Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association, in a letter to Daniel E. Garges, secretary to the Board of Commissioners. “This annual book is typical of many that are gotten out in Washington, in that a very small amount of the funds collected for advertising are re- celved by the organization which is supposed to benefit thereby,” said Mr. Shaw. “‘Such advertising is a burden upon the merchants which they should not be. called upon to bear. I know that they will heartily approve your action.” oo Cuba's most popular eport is base {bail, and all players' supplies arefrom [ ght by P. & A. Photos.

Dietetics Speaker Says They Show Higher Vitamin Content. ATLANTIC CITY, October 18 (P).— s tiality for col- ored food are ol ving one of the soundest rules of dietetics, sald Mi A. Deane Dowell, home s selor of the American Associa- tlon, in an address made before its convention today. “Yellow milk and butter are not only more pleasing to the sight,” Miss Dowell declared, “but they contain a higher proportion of vitamin A than the white products. The same applies to green vegetables, as they are richer in vitamin C than the bleached varie- tles. Yellow turnip, which is rich in vitamin, is far superior to white tur- nip, which is particularly low.” NAVY COURT TO PROBE DEATH OF W’SHANE Inquest Verdict of Accident Ignored in Case of Ensign Found Dead.
