This ie Philip H. Gadsen, presi- dent of the American Flectric Railway Association and an officer in other big poblic utilitien. Mr. Gadsen makes out his case Wwith arguments that may be briefly summaz- ized somewhat as follows: That public utility companies are already treated in the eves of the law for every purpose but taxation as a special class, the class of regulated Industry; that they are compelled to buy their labor and-mater- als in the opjen market in competiton with general industry, ‘while the selling grices of their products are li law ; that they camnot, Ifke or dustry, curtall their operations in un- favorable times mor regulate their rey- enues to meet Increasing operating 6x- pénses or Imereasing taxation; that they eanmot refuse to undertake new business when they see no profit in it, but are wnder legal compulsion to sup- Py their pregucts for all who apply for tham; that'their produets are limited by law; that during the war, while bus- inebs in gemeral was snjoving an unpar- slitiad prompérity, their net Incomes 4windléd from month to month, until in many eases dividends on stoek had to Be pased and evén interest on Jonds 1e#¢ unpaid. R Thers seems to be wefPht iIn the ar- guments that Mr. Gadsden advances although it may ocenr to some to stz- gest that the regulatory bodies in eharge of public utilities are supposed to allow for inerease in rate to offset inerease in taxation. But it should be remembered that such an increase in rates would amount to an indirect tax en the general public using the pro- dnets of the wtility companies, Utitity ecomphnies would bs bound to pase on this tax to the public undimin- ished, while there s enough elastici- ty in other’ gemeral business enterpri s t6 make it possidle that in many in- sances the tax would be absorbed by the industry and net passed on to the pub- lie; while im ether instances it would B¢ passed em only diminished amount.

FEORTAGE EX- | e chief King PR —— CANADA'S NEW VICEROY Mot often ig it that a new Governor General has eome to Canada with so Freat a prestige in popularity as has Fgron Byng of ViMy. And in their ad- miration for thelr new viceroy, the peo- Dle of the United States have a share, Julien Hedworth George, Baron Byng of Vimy, hag been a soldier all his lite, 204 in that sespest differs from all pre- osditg Gevemor&Gemegals of Canada, With the exeeption of the Duke of Con- .

But it is as a war hero that the new Governor-Genera) will appesd to the the imagination of the Canadiens, whose ‘military forces he Jod in the early part & the world war,, They remember him as displaying the qualities of the finest type of gen- tral officer, a man always alert, re- toureefyl, aggressive. Canadlan ‘sol- liers won imperishedle glory at Vimy Ridge under the eommand of General Byng and his amploft in breaking the Serman line aptoved. Wwith tanks at Cambral, then The fizat time - in.tha It is easy to see why he popular with the Canadian u ity that will turn to a valuable asset in the administration of his office. Baron Byng's name is a worthy ome to add to.such a galaxy of distinguished Britons as Lord Dufferin, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Minto, the Duke of Connaught and the Marquis of Lorne, who have served their mother country in the thriving dominion. COSTLY INSECT PESTS The average annual loss to agrienl- ture . through the activities of insect pests, according to a recent survey of reports issued by the federal department of agriculture, is about $1,101,000,000. Including the damage done to forests and forest products, te domestic animals and to products in storage, thé annyal loss is about $1,500,000,000. The de~ partment estimates thft through its bureaus of plant industry and entomol- ogy it has reduced the possible los from ‘Ifseet pests by half, hence were it met for the fact that the governmenmt directs continuous and unrelenting’ Wi fare upon the Dests, the country might suffer the loss of so much of its crop output as eerfously to impalr its ability to feed itself. \ If these pests were native and if there was Jittle likellhood of mew marauding Insects finding their way te this coun- try, the department's fight against them would be comparatively stmple, but there is aiways the danger of a new destroyer getting a etart in areas re- cently fréed of pests. The boll weevil, which in 1917, cost the cotton states abeut $250,000,000, crossed the Rio Grande from Mexieo only thirty years ago, yet today it is found in every corner of every cotton state, and although the government maintains a special statten for experiments in the eradication of the vest, little headway toward rellef has been made. These bugs have probably done more damage in- thirty vears than the south ever suffered at the hands of an invading army. P The alfalfa weevil, the San Jose scale, the codling moth or apple worm, the peach borer, the sweet potatd weev- il, the Hessian fly, the chinch bug, and the European corn borer, .which was found oply four years ago in Massa- chusetts, all collect an annual tribute from American farmers which demands that more attention be paid to the work of eradieation. Crop burning Is the only effective means of stopping the corn borer, which entomologists be- lieve to be the most deadly plant enemy Sver brought to this country, and unless it 1s destroyed it will infest the north as the .boll weevil has infested the south. STOLEN AUTOMBILES Thousands of automobilés are stolen in the United States every day, which leads to the natural inquiry of why the police do not eatch these automobile thieves and send them where their ae- tivities would be suspended for a time at least, Now comes the head of the anto de- tective squad in New York with an ex- planation that puts the blape largely on the automobile owners instead of the volice for failure to identify ocars that may be recoversd by the police.. He claims that many auto owners would rather collect the insurance on @ stolen car than identify their car when it has been found. Having obfained insurance before the recent drop in ‘car prices, they would rather have the mone with which to buy a new car than re- ceive back their old worn machine. The first thing done to conceal the fact that a car has been stolen is to change its license plate and its engine number. Without these marks, the deteetive says, the owners refuse to identify their cars, although they may not be In doubt at all. Another trouble is that ewners to whom cars are returned refuse to prose- cute hecauge they do not wish to lose the time it takes to go te court. As to failure to identify, York detective names no stances, but he has for registering the essential parts of cars, which cannot be changed llke a license plate on an engine number. Armed with this schedule he says his men will be able to force upon reluct- ant owners the aceeptance of stolen cars, even when the insurance would be worth more than the car. When he findg 2 man disputing the ownership of a ear against his identification marks and gives that man's name to the pap- ers, his theo:y will have something to stand upen.

A roem, especially a colonial reom, done in soft eolers ealls for a note of bright color mear the window. The newest way 'to obtaln this without the use of overdraperies is to make vour curtain of a plain net and then embroider them in gayly colored wool Bright, old-fash- ioned flowers lend themselves to this purpose. 1f you have never tried em- broidering with coarse wool you will be surprised to see how quickly the flowers grow under vour fingers. A good way to get a design is to adapt one from a piece of chintz you happen to fancy. You can get both the outline and the coloring from chintz or cretorne. Another way to get a note of color in your curtains is to select a net with a large design and outline the figures in colored wool. If the room is hlue and white get a white met with block design in it and outline the blocks in blue wool. Or it the room is done in soft woodsy tones of brown and tan you can use ecru met and orange weol. Cream net and green Wool make another charming summer combination, I JNEELING TAD If you must get down o your knees to clean the kitchen floor? provide a knedling pad_with a slip-on oil cloth cover.

The soaking should last for ten minutes at least, af- ter that the fingers_ must be wiped with a soft cloth, but not immediately wash- ed. EXERCISE WEAK FEET. In the treatment of weak feet in chil- dren the followiig exercises have been found efficient, according to the United States public health service: 1. Tiptoe . exercise: The patient places the limbs in the attitude of mod- erate inward rofation, raises the body on the toes to’the ekxtreme Iimit, the limbg being fully extended at the Krees, then sink slowly, resting the welght on the outer borders of the feet; remeat about twenty to thirty times. 2. Walking In bare feet. | 3. Walking on the forepart of the foot. 4. Grasping motions with the toes; exercises with foot weights. 5. Bicyeling has also proved of value and should be highly recommended. These exerciseg should be praeticed daily and should not be carried out to the-extent of tiring the patient, TO ARRANGFE. RUGK. Rugs, small and large, should be lald on straight lines on the floor, not at an angle. The structural lines of the room are thus conformed with and harmony instead of discord created. The use of one large rug, instead of several small ones, adds to the apnar- ent size of a room. It also helns to produce = unified effect. The floor cov- ering, like the wall pamer, is a back- ground, Therefore, plain colors or neu- tral tints are usually the best, The new plain colored rugs with straight narrow border lend themeelves admirably to the best standards of house furniching. In oriental rugs and ‘the best types of ddmestic rugs the dif- ferent colors are so beaytifuly blended as to produce a soft glow of color In which the pattern is lost, DICTATES OF FASHION Novelty hatpins are the vegue, and often are the qnly trimmir employed. The sleeveless Jacket, sometimes of bright red flannel, the sweater that is gaining faver. Gray sweaters are favorites these dawys and while they are worn with white skirts are best liked with gray homespun and linens, Organdle collar and cuff sets with hems basted witi black woel and cor_ ners decorated with colored wool flow- ers, are popular. In novelty jewelry, circle pearls take first place, pearl bracelets, earrings and tassels suspended on a cord being among the favorite forms. Jade and jet are also popular novelty jewelry items; red, which has been the vogue for some time, is losing prestige. Bright eolors are to be in high favor for children net fall, and even ncw many vivid sbades are featured.

Pat the spot lightly with the cleanser. It will come out just as well and the fabric will not be injured. When cleaning it is well to remember to always work toward the center of the spot. Thus you run no danger of spread- ing it. Lemon is not bnly good for whitening clothes but it removes stains frém hand- kerchiefs.

Chairs should clear the doors of book- cases, cabinets and wardrobes, and not have to be moved to gain access to these articles. While a chair or two may be pulled out at a convepient angle, cater- Turn@red arrangements are seldom pleas- ing. Furniture and rugs are hest placed ni lines that accord with he structure of the room. Pictures Jook best if they are fairly uniform in size -and have their up- per or lower edgks on a horizontal line all the way around the room. COFFEE ON GERANIUMS. Pour hot coffee into the saucers of your geranium pot every morning, having it boiling hot if possible. It will be suf- ficlently cool before it reaches the roots of your plants, and you will be astonished at the wealth of blossoms your piants will put forth, MAKE A WEITING PAD, A writing pad to be successful must be solid and of a good size. A board half an inch “thick, 9x12 inches, makes the best pad. Buy half a yard of black elastic, half an inch wide, the strongest you can get, overlap the ends and sew firmly to- gether into the form of a belt. Slip this over the end of the board. It will keep in place both blotting and writing paper and can be moved up and down the board as you feed it. On a ‘windy day it is in- valuable, setting both hands free. BAKED RAREBIT. A baked rarebit is prepared by putting through the meat grinder one pound of cheese, half an onion, and one cup of fried baecon. Mix these well with half a teaspoon of salt, two teaspoons of mus- tard, half a teaspoon of paprika, one tea- spoon of table sauce and half a cun of buttermilk. Cut the top off of a loaf of French bread, remove all of the soft part of the loaf, leaving a bread hox. Fill the loaf with the well-mixed cheese mixture, put on the top and tie with a string, wrap the loaf ingoiled paper and bake in a medium oven half an hour.

ODD iNCIDENTS IN AMERICAN i HISTORY T S T —— An author of Sketches of Neorth Caro- lina says that Massachusetts hss her Lady Arabella, Virginia her Pocahontas and North Carolina her Flora Macdonald. Tie name of the pretty Scotch heroine |is as inseparably finked with the history {of North Carolina us with her own coun- itry. It was Elora Macdonald who helped the pretender, Prince Charles Ed- ward Stuart, to escape from Scotland after the battle cof Cullodep, in which the poyer of the Highland lairds was de- stroyed. For the part Flora played the pretty Scotch girl was imprisoned and after her release she married Allan Maedonald and they emigrated to America, settling in Norty Carolina in 1775. They had come to America to seek peace, but in- stead found disturbance and war. After the termination cf the Seven Years' War nearly every one of the High- land regiments, soldiers as well as of- ficers settled on grants of Jand in America. Many of the inhbitants of Northwestern Scotland, especially the clans-of Mac- Donald and Macleod, listened to over- tures from those whe @ad obtained con- cessions of vast domains and migrated to Middle Carolin. When Flora and her husband came to Amenica they settled in the west of Cumberland County, North Carolina. At the time she was fifty five years of age and the mother of many children. Her husband was aged, but still with hair jet black, of a stately figure. and a countenance that expressed intelligence and steadfastness. Shortly after their arrival in Amerieca the Colonial Governor summoned the Highland emigrants to support the royal cuse. On the 10th of Japuary, 1776, a commission was issued to_Allan Mac_ Donald, with other Scotchmen, to raise end array, and by the 15th of Februa:y, march all the King's loyal sunleets in a body to Brunswick, pppesite to Wil- mmgton. Donald MacDnold, one of the most irfluential men {n the Cr Creek, N. C. scitlement, who was a of Flera's was to command the army. Tte Sccteh gir! herself espousal the cause of the English monarch. Sae ac- comvanied her hushand when he went to join -the army. At the bhattle of Moore’s Creek the husband was taken prisoner and was sent to Halifax, where Flora found herself once more in the condition of a fugitive and an outlaw, The MacDonalds, with other Highland- ers, suffered much from the plunerings and confiseations to which the royvalists were exposed. It iz paid that Mera’s house was pillaged and" her plantation ravaged. Allan, after his release, finding his prospécts in America unpropitious, deter- mined te return to his native land. Flora had previously embarked in a shop-of- war, On her voyage home an incident oceurred illustrative of the oharacter of this remarkable womau The sloop en- countered a French vessel of war, and an actlon ensued.

Tomorrow—Origin of the Campaign Booster e e e e e — I CHILD TRAINING AT HOME I Rainy Day Pastimes By Mabel R. Young Alrainy day in the kindergarten is always just a lttle freer, a little bright- er and happier than the%brdinary day. Why should a rainy day at home be lopg and dull? Here are few sugges- tions for mking the next one a red iet- ter day for your little forlks. First, let the children mke scrapbooks trom all the pieces of saved wrapping paper; let them cut the paper the right size, book form. Have one book for crayon drawing, one for freecutting pictures, and another for clippings from maga- zines, papers and seed catalogues. Pro- vide a pan or basket for the slips. This occuption will keep the children amused for an hour or more, at the same time developing accuracy and originality. Another period can be happily spent making potato animals. Burned match- es fasten heads and bodies together and make splendid legs, elephants trunks and necks for giraffes. A potato circus in full parade is a sight to make even the crossest grown_ up. smile in_ spite of himself. If potatoes canmot be used, small animal crackers from the grocery store make a good substitute. Wit the help of building blocks the children ean mke & farm and barnyard. and the ani- mals ~and blocks will provide 2 play Noah's Ark. Save all the clean burmed matches lollypop sticks and meat skewers in a box, as they provide a never-falling source of amusement, The stick pictures tiat can be made! Houses and bams, fences and Jadders, beds, chairs and tahles can be formed by the ijttle hands. Even a park ean be laid out, with trees, benches and flower-beds: or a camop with rows of tents and soldiers marching in line. . There are many games adaptable for indeors. Ball, tenpins and bean bags are always good. d Stories and nursery’ rhymes can be dramatized and sense games plaved. for instance, tve Bell Ringer, in which one child, blindfclded, tries to eatch another, who rings a bell a¥ he moves about. An- other good game is the Mystery Man, who can be impersonated by one of the children, Al kinds of articles are placed by &im’ in the hands of the blind man, who must guess what they are. Then the play of tasting and smelling makes the time pass profitably and pleasantly. With a few helpful suggestions chil- dren can work out and adapt for them- selves all of these games and spend the hours indoors happily busy, while a fa- vorite story re-told by the mother gives a perfect ending to a joyous rainy day. FRINGE REFUSES TO * TAKE A BACK SEAT One only needs to look arcund a bit to know that it 4as been a fringe sea- son, and the ever popular fringe is mot to be submérged by the advent of the bead.
