THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1919.

OPPONENTS ARE UNCONVINCED BY LEAGUEJjHANGES Senators Stand on Determination to Exclude Covenant From Peace Treaty. WASHINGTON. March 21. Information conveyed in cable dispatches from Paris that the League of Nations constitution is to be amended to Buit the views of its American critics were received with unconcern by the senators who oppose the league plan. Among the senators who signed the "round robin," it was stated there was no break in the ranks, and that the 39 signers will present a solid front against the inclusion of the league plan in the treaty when the latter is delivered to the senate. In other words, these senators say that no matter how the league covenant Is amended, they will defeat any plan to make it a part of the treaty. Majority Is Necessary. , Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washington, declares that the ratification of the treaty will be a simple matter but that if . the treaty includes the league proposal, an amendment striking it out of the treaty will be adopted by the senate. Only a majority of the senate is required to do this, it ia stated. Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana, and Senator Moses, of New Hampshire, took a similar stand and said that the senate will insist upon having a complete separation of the treaty from the league proposition. Senator Moses returned to Washington yesterday from a speaking tour in New England. lie said he was gratified to observe that there had been a marked change of sentiment regarding the league. He noted particularly that there was more tolerance of the opinions of those who oppose the league, and even the league advocates veered to the point of acknowledging that the constitution was drawn clumsily and needs amendment. -

Income Tax to Help Pay Great Belgian War Debt f (By Associated Press) BRUSSELS, March 21 In introducing the budget for 1919, showing a deficit of over 600,000,000 francs, which it is proposed to cover by the income tax and taxes on inheritances, tobacco, beer and spirits, M. Dalacroix, the premier said yesterday: "The liquidation of the cost of the war looms up formidably and we will need ten billion francs. The existence of the country is at stake but our great allies are undertaking the task of rebuilding Europe in a spirit of great generosity. Our national existence depends upon promises mado us, and I think I can confidently tell you they will be kept."

Kill First Flies of Season as Soon as They Appear

By P. G. HOLDEN. START a fly campaign now. The wintered-over fly will make her appearance on a balmy March day. She may come from a crnck in the wall or a crevice in the barn, or she may have migrated from a neighbor's manure pile many miles away. She is a deadly enemy of health, as she may carry on her hairy body and legs thousands of

germs of disease and deposit them j

wherever she alights. The first flies of the season should be killed, by any means available, ns soon as they appear. They can be swatted, poisoned in saucers con

taining a solution of formalin (three ! teaspoonfuls to a pint of wuter), j killed by sticky fly paper, which can j be, purchased or may be made by

jieaung togetner one pint or castor oil and two ..pounds of rosin and smearing , It with paint brush on nny kind of paper. Or the flies can be trapped.

Liveliest Group of Invalids in Europe Make Wounded Forget Their Troubles

THE liveliest bunch of convalescents ever in captivity singers, story tellers, musicians and allround comedians and still in cap-( tivity, though they have a roving commission at present, have entered the service of the Y. M. C. A. In France. As convalescents, they are flat failures, but as entertainers they are the hit of the "Y" theatrii cal season . overseas, reports from Prance say. A few weeks ago they were Just patients In a big base hospital. They were all In the same ward, and to keep, up their spirits, they , got to singing and "putting on stunts." This not only cheered them up, but "won all sorts of applause from their sick and wounded comrades. "Don't tell me you're an ama

teur," as he looked approvingly and appraisingly at another who had Just finished telling a dialect story. "No," confessed the other, "I'm Sunshine Georgie Hall, and I've been doing juvenile movie comedy tha last three years before X joined the army. But I've seen 'you on the stage, too. . Where was it?" "Well, I've done , my bit at the New York theatres," admitted the doughboy who had spoken first. "In civil life I'm Val Marconi, of Marconi Brothers' Wireless Orchestra. We were with Fred Stone, too. And that ornery buck private over there happens to be Charley Speidell, who wrote 'One in a Million Like You and a lot of other song hits. We ought to get up a show They did, and the result is "The Convalescent Entertainers." ten en

listed men who hare been in "tig time" vaudeville and are Juist an successful overseas as they ever were here. The company has bogun a tour of the hospitals under the management of the Y. M. C. A., to which organization the army has assigned them for four months oa detached service. Of all the many groups of hospital entertainers employed by tha Y. M. C. A., none is more popular than the Convalescent Entertainers, "the boys who have wound stripes on their bodies as well as on. their coats." The other members of the company are "Smiling Bert" Bowman. Johnny Byam, Victor Orr, Jack Belco, Charles Bauer, Jack Waynian and Lawrence Hager. The accompanying picture shows Val Marconi entertaining In a hospital tent.

HIGH SENIOR PLAY SET FOR MAY 22 The senior play of the Richmond high school will' be held Thursday evening, May 22, in the Washington theater, Principal B. W. Kelly of the high school announced at the senior class meeting Friday morning. Some difficulty has been had in getting the theater. A. J. Beriault has been engaged for the twenty-first but it is thought he can arrange to be here ou the twenty-second, which is the night before commencement. The play is "The College Widow," a most delightful comedy, by George Ade. At a meeting some time ago the class decided upon caps and gowns but much opposition was raised because it was said all the members of the class had not been present at the meeting. A meeting of all the members of the class was held after chapel. The matter was decided upon by ballot vote and the "caps and gowns" were In the majority. A straw vote was taken to determine the minster to have charge of the baccalaureate services which will probably be held in the church of the pastor chosen. President Walter Stegman announced that every senior must order and pay for his commencement invitations by next Wednesday. The senior play was discussed by Principal Kelly, who suggested that if there should be any excess fund, as there was last year and the year before, it should be used for continuing the support of a French orphan.

The most effective time to trap flies is in the early spring. Each female fly lays 1.00Q eggs during 'the season 120 nt n time. It takes only 11 days for a fly to become full grown. In 22 days nfter the first fly of the season lays her eggs there are at least 14,400 flics hatched and ench of these 11,400 can lay 120 eggs which will be adult flics in 11 more days. From April 1 to September 10 one female fly can, if unmolested, produce. 5,598,720,000,000 flies. Schools, 'commercial organizations and other clubw often put on a fly campaign in the summer, after the flies have multiplied to an enormous extent, offering prizes for the largest number of flies killed. The most efficient time for fly trapping contests is in the early spring when the flies first come out of their winter quarters. If every fly was captured or killed ns soon us it appears in the spring the fly question would be settled. Right now TODAY is the timo to begin our fly campaign. Kill every wintered over fly as loon as it appears. V Clean up. Get rid of all refuse. Burn It or bury it. Flies breed and iirlve in filth

Mrs. Whisler to Direct Campaign for Clothes Mrs. R. P. Whisler has been appointed local chairman of the American Red Cross national campaign for used clothing, which will be begun in Wayne county Monday morning and continue for seven days. This will be the most comprehensive collection of clothing, shoes and bedding ever undertaken by the Red Cross. The American people are asked to donate 10,000 tons of cast-off apparel for the helpless and suffering refugees of devastated Europe. The need of clothing in many lands is one of the most serious reconstruction problems, but it is thought that a long step toward solving it will be taken when the thousands of Red Cross chapters' over the country "begin their collection of discarded garments. A local committee of women will be announced later, as will the headquarters, to be located in a central part of the city. The collection and packing of garments will be begun on Monday. All kinds of garments for all ages and for both men and women, except such garments as obviously cannot help the refugees, are wanted. Persons contributing such apparel need have no fear that it will not be used where need is great. Garments not in perfect conditions and shoes needing repairs can be put in suitable condi

tion by women of the devastated countries, who are anxious for employment.

Disking Corn Land in Early

Spring Will Saoe Moisture

, By P. G. HOLDEN. ! IF possible, we should disk com in the spring before the soil has lost its moisture and becom ; baked. If we do not disk, the ground dries out and bakes and when we plow we turn under large lumps and cover them with soft, mellow soil, plowed up from below. The hard, baked surface, turned to the bottom of the furrow in a lumpy condition,' cannot be reached and broken up by disking, harrowing or cultivating, and it prevents the moisture from below from reaching the roots of the corn. " We 6ften abuse our spring plowed land by turning up the furrows to the sun and winds and then allowing them to bake and drjf out, depending on a shower to mellow the ground at planting time. It is a

It is also a good idea to disk fallplowed ground as soon as the oat seeding is over. Fall plowing leaves the field rough, which aids evaporation in the early spring. Disking will cover the surface with a fine mulch and save the moisture. The mistake is commonly made of leaving the fall-plowed ground without disking until time to plant. By spring the ground has become packed by snows and rains and should be disked or at least harrowed as soon as oat seeding is over. This will conserve the moisture and prevent the "firing" of corn in August, which . so often follows fall plowing. There is seldom any advantage in plowing more than six inches deep, either in spring or fall." If ground is to be plowed deeper than formerly, it should be done in the fall. On heavy soils the bad effects of too deep plowing is often seen for several years.

130 Pupils in Local High School Failed in Subject One hundred and thirty pupils in the high school failed in one subject the first period of this semester. Forty failed in two subjects, ten in three subjects and two in four subjects.
