CONCILATION TAKES PLACE AT LAUSANNE Danger of a Breach is Sidetracked i By All. Concerned—Curzon. 1 pones Trip. - ( j Lausanne, Jan. 31.—The spirit of conciliation shown on all sides today prevented a rupture of the near east ern peace conference following Vtrmal presentation of the allied draft treaty to the Turks and the mutual good will manifested by the British, French and Italian delegations sideti anted any danger of a break in the allied front due to yesterday’s develop ments. Marquis Curzon, ths British foreign 1 1 secretary, changed his plans tor | leaving Lausanne oji Friday, and « agreed to remain, together with his 3 entire delegation until °’unday night.

THE CONCORD TIMES HOIV TO STAMP OUT POULTRY PARASITES Powders, Liquids and Fumes Are Employed in Exterminating Mites and Insects, BY SETH W. Director, School 7>f Agriculture, In ternational Correspondence Schools, Scranton, Pa. No animal of benefit to mankind seems to be free from pests of some sort or other that constant y tend to reduce its usefulness. Domestic poultry seem to have their full share of such pests and a considerable number of these are -in sect pests, most of which are lice and mites. The lice attacking chickens and staying on the body continually are very small and may be killed by dust ing. Red mites on the other hand are usually found on the chickens at night only when they are on the roost, and hide in the cracks and crevices of the house during the daytime. They prick the skin and suck the blood from the body of the fowl and also leave an irritation on the surface of the skin. ' Rco M/ rss. There are three general class of insecticides that are reliable to kil. poultry parasites. They are powders, liquids and fumes. The powder has to be dusted on the bodies of the para sites so that the fine particles will be drawn into the breathing tubes ot the insects which will become clog ged; the insects then will dies of suf focation. The liquids will kill because they are corrosive or because- they get into the breathing tubes and suffo cate the insects and the fumes kill be cause they suffocate. Avoid Poisonous Powders. Insect powders, us a class, are not poisinous but are merely fine powders that are used to suffocate the insects. Insecticides' containing arsenic, such as Paris green or other bigfily poisonous matter, should not' be useci. about poultry buildings as they are dangerous to the fowls and some times to the attendant. The only reliable test of efficiency of any insect powder lies in the re sults obtained from its use. If, when it is applied, the parasites contract or act as if paralyzed the powder is good, but, if the powder does not act and destroy at once it is very little valile. The following kinds of powder insecticides may be safely used .on poultry cf all kinds: Aniseed powder or Pyrethrum pow der, sometimes called Persian or Dal mation Insect Powder, or tobacco dust, Staves acre seed powder, dry I ' The Sale of Sales . 1 | surrs AND OVERCO^TS | I 1 Here s a Sale that will rank as the most n I j\ xWwy/M unexpected event of years.

The liquid insecticides are more effective if applied to the inferior of poultry buildings than powder in secticides for the reason that they can be sprayed into all tbe cracks and crevices. When thoroughly ap plied a good liquid insecticide will rid a house of practically sl\ the parasites that are in it and, of course, the house must be thoroughly cleaned before this is applied so that it will be able to penstrate. When liquid in secticides of any kind are'used eirner as a spray or upon the poultry, they should be a Lowed to soak into Tim wood and allowed to dry thoroughly before the fowls are allowed to go in side again. The principal liquid insecticide is Creosote, known in seme localities as Creosote stain; fowls should not De allowed to enter a building sprayed witli Creosote until after the material has had time to dry find the fumes to pass away, This'will ordinarily he from three to four hours. Other liquid insecticides are crude petroleum, kerosene, benzine, lin?, turpentine, creolin, and carbolic acid ns.efi at the rate of one and a half ounces to one gallon of wafer. Fume insecticides Include sulphur fumes, tobacco fumes, and creosote f inner,. OCR BONDED DEBT. University News Lcttef. The State bonds issued by North Carolina up to January 1 are sixty nine million dollars all told, or mar ly twenty-seven dollars per in habitant. The state bonded debt is right around half of what we have invested private y in automobiles alone. ;\nd the per capita burden of bonded debt is just a little more than half —the cost of a set of Ford tires. The interest on the bonded debt of the state is $2,8000,000' a year, wnich is about a dollar per inhabitant, and a dollar is just about the cost of tive gallons of gasoline We buy cars and tires and gasonne and never think about bankruptcy, but when we talk about state bonds .we think about nothing else but bank ruptcy. / The state is far likelier to be bank rupted by private automobiles than by public bonds. t Public bonds issued for proper pro ductive purposes in commonwealth progress and prosperity are one tning, provided of course the proceeds lj>e honestly and efficiently administered. Public bonds issued to cover indebt edness are another. Bonds of this sort are a sign of inefficiency, impropriety, or reckless use of public' funds, and they ought to be anathema. When a state, a county, tor a municipality, a state department or a state institu tion, wantonly fails to liye within its income or budget allowance ‘ the oifi cials responsible therefore ought to be ha ed into court. But bonds to promote public pro gress and prosperity are investment bonds and a state is well within rea son if it issues these to the full limit •of safety, the taxable wealth of the state considered. The sixty-nine millions already is sued by North Carolina have been in vested in state-owned railroads, in pub ic highways, in public education, ‘ and in state institutions of Charities. and corrections. They represent the will of the people to basO, the future of the state on the intelligence, the skill, the health, and the character of her people. And all told they repre sent an investment less than half the amount we have tied up in automo biles alone. The bonded dsl>t of North Carolina is $27 per inhabitant, it is SSO in the little city of Los Angeles, and $177 In New Zealand where the white in habitants are fewer than 1,800,000. But in all these instances, the bond ed debt represents a productive in vestment in public progress and pros perity. Nobodv in Los Angeles or New Zealand is in doubt about the wis dom of such bond issues— literally nobody. And nobody in North Caro lina need be in doubt about the wis dom and the necessity of investment bonds —or at least not yet. , Nevertheless there ought to be (1) a limit to the issuance of public bonds —a limit fixed by a definite per cent of the taxable wealth of the state as it appears on the county tax lists, (2) a sinking fund created ten years ahead of bond maturity dates and annually increased at compound interest rates to amortize the bonds ns tbsy fall due, with out oppressing the taxpayers, and (3) a sinking fund so safeguarded by organic and statute law as to put it entirely beyond the power of state 'officials to divert it ;o oihe nurposes. There is no greater slate problem for our budget commis sion and our legislature to solve, and not to solve it satisfactorily is to fail in a matter that fundamentally con cerns the safety of th? state in the years at hand and .ahead. Ivey and Company Purchase Valuable Charlotte Realty. Charlotte, Jan. JO. —J. B. Ivey and company, which for years have occu pied the B. P. Hutchison building on North Tr.von Street, leased recently- by Louis Lipinsky, of the Little-Long Company, has bought the Wittkowsky property opposite the city hall, dimen sions 96 feet frontage and 396 feet deep, extending to Church Street.

Stodnrd, architect, in reference to plans for a 15-stor.v office building to he erected on the site of the Trust building, South ' Tryon, which was burned. The building and laud will he worth $1,000,000. A . Spot Removing. One of the secrets of successful “spotting” or stain-removal is to have plenty of pad underneath the spot to absorb the liquid that is used to re move it, and to a circular mo tion, working from the outside toward the center of the spot in order to keep a ring from forming. Change the pad as it becomes soiled, and pat the spot gently until the cleaner evaporates. Certain spots with color in them, such as a black grease spot, come out more easily if turned face down* on the pad so that the spot, can be carried out without passing through the fabric.
