NEW DIRECTORY TELLS VIRTUES OF LAWMAKERS

Congressmen Use Official Publication to Advertise Their Business. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 10. An epitome of mankind's virtues, occupations, aspirations and deeds is found in congress. Within the pages of the congressional directory that of the sixty-sixth congress which was issued todays senators and representatives officially record their own biograDhies.

Most of the law makers are lawyers, but among the membership are an iron moulder, banker, stock raiser, tree surgeon, physician, cheese manufacturer, glass blower, baggagemaster and "a business man and political accident." Although such autobiographies deal with the author's past, a surprising feature was that many members did not have more to say about their ancestry. Several, however, trace their I lineage back to members of the continental congress, and once he Is a direct descendant of the father of Hannah Dustln, of colonial and Indian fame. Another member said he Is "best known as a platform orator. Recites Achievements. Other members, with an eye to thrift, did not fail to advertise. One said his firm originated a well known cloth, another that he brought the first autos Into this country from Europe and another that he Is president of a press clipping bureau. One recites his colleague's achievements and admits getting into congress after his "characteristic determination" carried him through an untiring campaign in a popular auto. One member was raised on a dairy farm, another lives on a gravel road. The shortest biography is that of Senator James O'Conner of Louisiana, He merely announced his name. Others took a half page or more to unbosom themselves as each was permitted to write what he pleased.

First Air Stowaway is Happy Lad, Though Facing Court Martial for Hiding in Ballast of R-34

CINCH BUG, NEW CROP PEST, APPEARS ON WAYNE FARM

Another crop plague has appeared In Wayne county. The chinch bug, described as being as destructive in large numbers as the army worm, is infesting fieldn on the farm ef Charles Fpencer, between Fountain City and Wlllip.msburg..

The bug have swarmed over a mll-j lot f eld belonging to Sr encer, and ! r r also prevalent in his timothy.!

They vary In color from bright red to t black, and are only about 3-16 of an inch in length at their largest. Ppencer has written to Washington rsklng for control instructions. When h bug appeared on several Wayne furrns some years ago cholera infected hugs were sent from Washington. These gave the destroyers the disease and the whole herd died. Methods of control for the bug in case it appears on other farms, are given by state experts as follows: "Where the corn has been protected by throwing up furrows and drawing logs to make a dust mulch, the bugs stop for a time, but where they have gotten on the crops, there is no way to stop them except by spraying. The dust furrow is only a make-shift, however. Road oil, strung along is effective, but expensive. A solution of "black leaf 40," one-half ounce to a bucket of water, will kill as high as 90 per cent, and a 1-4 ounce solution will kill about SO per cent."

NEW YORK. July 11. Although William Ballantyne, twenty-two, a North Country Englishman who was a member of the original crew of the R-84 as a rigger, is to be tried by a military court martial for stowing away on the big dirigible when she "hopped off" from Scotland he is not the least concerned about his plight. Instead he is happy as a lark because he earned the distinction of being the first stowaway on a lighter-than-alr ship In a trans-Atlantic flight. When the big dirigible landded at Roosevelt Field, Mineola, L. I., Ballantyne was the happiest member of the crew. He had achieved his ambition, so what mattered It that he was to face a military court? While the ship was being prepared for the history making trip Balantyne served as a rigger. A short time before the scheduled start it was decided to drop three members of the crew to lighten the load and Ballantyne learned that he was one of the trio. He accepted Major Scott's orders silently, but schemed with another member of the crew to get him aboard the craft. He climbed up lnaide the R-34 and secreted himself In the sand ballast in the rear. In Hiding for Six Hours Ballantyne remained in his hiding place for six hours until the R-34 was well on her way over Ireland, but he became sick and was almost delirious when he reported his presence to Major Scott. Ballantyne, who lay for twenty hours with a fever of 102. told the following story of his experience : "I'd worked hard, I had, blarsted hard, on the bally blimp, but that didn't matter so much. You see, I'd never been to America, had my heart placed on it, and my mind, too. So I sneaks out a bit before midnight, about two hours before the R-34 left Scotland. I hides in the rigging. No one saw me and we were off. When the ballon was about 200 feet up I changes my position to a more comfortable one. I hid between the gas bags No. 6 and No. 7 at the stern of the ship. "I foraged some food and water and intended to remain there until the end of the trip, unobserved, I hoped. But I was out of luck. I took sick. I guess I was the only man aboard who was sick on the trip. I remained stowed away until I was on the point of becoming delirious from fever. "Knowed" He'd Reach America "When we were about sixty miles out Sergeant Watson Btumbles over my head, and of course he takes me to the head coxswain. The officers couldn't do nothing then, and I saw one of 'em smile so I knowed I'd see the land where they pay $100,000 for a man to get in the ring for three rounds. "I wish you'd tell your newspaper that I'd like to take on some one at

126 pounds. There is a little house In England what could use the win-

nlng end of the purse. I'm only going to be here a day or so, but maybe some American could fix it for me. "I am not worrying about the punishment they are planning for me now. The big thing for me is that I made that trip and here I am."

SOLD YESTERDAY, FOUNDED IN 1885 The sale of the John A. Evans company Thursday, to two local men, changes the ownership of one of the oldest manufacturing concerns in

Richmond. Called the Quaker Machine company, when first started In

1885, It was owned by J. A. Evans and L. A. Tlegle. and occupied about one hundred square feet In one end of a room in the building that is now used by the Davis Motor Car company. One year later, after a contract with E. G. Hill, the firm started to specialize In greenhouse ventilators and after three years, in 1888. the building now occupied was built. The business developed and in 1900 Evans bought full control, and has been manufacturing the ventilator ever since. The ventilator is well known in America and in several countries in Europe. Evans was born in Pittsburg, where he worked as a carpenter, a metal worker and a miner. He came to Richmond forty years ago, where he worked in several shops before going in business for himself. He has announced his retirement from business. T. F. Porter, one of the buyers, has been with Evans for seven years in the capacity of superintendent, and O. F. McKee has been with the Davis Motor Car company for some time.
