Washington, BSept. 5.—To pro. tect fruit growers and farmers of the United States the Federal Hor- ticultural Board of the Department of Agriculture has declared a quar- antine against certain imported plants, fruit and seed. Some of the most destructive insect and plant diseases to which cultivated plants are subject have been brought here, according to the board, on stock im- ported from foreign countries. Certain fruits from the Hawailan Tslands have been refused admit- tance from the fact that the Medi- terranean fruit fly, not heretofore widely prevalent in the United States, exists in large numbers in the Territory of Hawaii. This in. sect attacks figs, grapes, grapefruit, sweet limes, oranges, peaches, and other fruits, as well as certain veg- " etables and would be, if it were ad- mitted to the United States, a men- ! 'ace to the fruit and vegetable grow- ! ! erg of the country. | Potatoes from Germany, Holland, i and the British Isles can not be im- ported into the United States as long as the quarantine declared in September, 1912, exists against | them.

INDUSTRY TO BE REVIVED Jacksonville, Sept. 5 .—State Fish Commissioner T. R. Hodges, of Tallahassee, who is in the city en route to Fernandina, where he will seek to arouse interest in re- clamation of the oyster beds of that section, states that Floridians liv- ing in the coast countics should de- vote more attention to the cultiva- tion of oystcrs and other shell fish, | in which there is great profit. Flor- idlans, he declares, should reap a re- ward of not legg than $20,000,000 from this industry within a few years. The position held by Mr Hodges was established through a bill passed at the recent legislative ses- sfon, the enforcement of which means the rapld development of the shell fish industry on both Atlan- tic and Gulf coasts. Under the terms of the law oyster farms are leased at a rate of 50 cents per acre per annum, no farm of more than 500 acres being leased to one per- son. With proper care, any intel- ligent man can make a good living for himself and a large family on 100 acres and attend to other work at the same time, declares Commis- sioner Hodges. “The law goes into effect Oct. 1, by which time I will have appointed nine or ten efficient deputies to as- sist me,” sald Commissioner Hodges. “The State has also purchased two powerful motor boats for use in work along the coasts, and I ex- pect to arouse immediate interest in the plans for rejuvenating the in- dustry, which should be bringing twenty millions annually to Flori. dians within a few vears. The in- dustry has been almost paralyzed through carelessness and gross neg- ligence in past years, as a result of which only about 500,000 barrels of | oysters, bringing about $2 a barrel, were taken from the Atlantic and Gulf waters last year. 1 hope the fish industry as much publicity as possible.

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS London, Sept. 5.—The views of ;hcr Majesty Queen Mary seem to keep her constantly in the limelight, As a result of the dispute which ishe has over the precedence which | Princess Maud should take over the sister of Duchesg Mary of Fife when she is married to Prince Arthur of Connaught next month, a pretty so- cial war has broken out of social circles. This is the season when just such a thing is needed to en. liven the scason. Although sym- pathy is plainly with the mother of the bride-to-be as well as with that younz personage herself, every one discusses the fuss with abated | breath for fear of offending Queen Mary who hasg 1o opinion at all, if it is not to sce that the status of everybody and everything royal is considered as it should be. Although there is a general be- lief that there has been an agree- ment made between the militants and the government whereby the violent methods of the suffragettes will be suspended for a while, while friends of the votes for women movement in the ministry summon more friends for the cause, the suf. fragettes are regarding the govern- ment’s attitude more or less with suspicion. They are encouraged be- cause their tactics have caused suf- ficlent alarm to make the powers that be anxious to discuss terms with them, and declare that the lat- est move of the government will be a straw to break its own back un- less something I8 done for the ‘“cause” at the next session of par, liament. Heavy restrictiohs are being placed on moving picture shows in Russia by the order of the minister of education. The minister has re- ported that his investigations led him tg belleve that the great in- crease in crime among children and increase of suicides are due to mov- ing picture shows, and he has made his new regulation in the hope 'of decreasing crime. Hereafter mov- ing picture fllms are to be taxed 2 1-2 cents a yard, whether Russian made or improved, Boys and girls under the age of sixteen are now re. tused admjttance to picture shows. A strong reaction has uudde_:,;; taken place in Paris against exotiq dances, such as the tango, cake- walk, grizzly bear, and the match- iche, and the old-fashoined quad- rille, which has not been seen or heard of for years, is now danced everywhere. What is still more cu- rious is that the turn of the tide occurred not in fashionable salons, but in the dancing halls of Mont. martre. The Moulin de la Galette, the Elysee de Montmartre, are dancing quadrilles every night, and they bid fair before long to oust even the American dances from pop= ular favor. During the direussion at the med- i ical congress it was stated that de- formities among young children could often be completely corrected | by the sun cure. All that a parent has to do Is to entrust the child to the family doctor, who may uge ma= chines to strengthen or stretch the limbs and then to let the child spend as much time as possible basking unclothed in the sunshine. All kinds of malformations in arms, legs, back, neck and chest have been adjusted by the simple expedient of letting the sun's rays play upon the cellg of the body. I
