Spraying From Ground .
to Kill Apple Aphids
Entomologists at the New York ex
periment station assert that it is ex
tremely difficult to control aphids on
apple trees unless a systematic meth
od is followed in spraying each tree.
In experiments conducted in apple or
chards in western New York, it was
found that when spraying was done
from the top of the spray tank the re
sults were quite uncertain, due to the
fact that the insects congregated on
tie lower branches of the trees, where
the spray mixture failed to reach them.
At the same time, In orchards where
he station spray system was followed,
u which the spraying was done from
he pround and under the trees, prac
ically complete control of the pests
tas accomplished.
In the station method, the spray
ditflt is equipped with a sufficient
encth of Hose to enable the nozzle
Dan to work from the ground and un
ler the tree. He then takes up cer
ain designated positions in spraying
?ach tree, which insures the spray
nixture reaching the under side of
*ery branch and twig. By moving
Vein place to place, and by maintain

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
? Spirit of Stephen in the Modern
Church.
I. Stephen, the Deacon (6:1-8).
The earlj' church was threatened
with disension over suspected partial
ity ta the distribution of alms. Up to
this time it would seem that the apos
tles did all the work. In view of such
burdens, perhaps some things had been
neglected. However, the church proved
itself capable of meeting the exigency.
A congregational meeting was called;
the case placed before the church and
the church instructed to select seven
spirit-filled men of good reputation to
administer the temporalities of the
church, giving the apostles the neces
sary time for prajpr and the ministry
of (rod's word. Thus we see how that
the Spirit-guided church was able to
solve Its own problems, and how
church government developed. Just
as the deacon's office sprang out of
this dissension, so new needs called
forth new officers. Among the seven
deacons, Stephen had first place. While
engaged In his duties as deacon, he
sprang into the light as an eloqaent
and powerful preacher. So mighty was
his ministry that the number of disci
ples greatly Increased; even many of
the priests believed.
II. Stephen Before the Council
(0:9-15).
1 ? Disputing With Stephen (w. 9,
10).
Certain foreign speaking Jews took
the lead in this controversy. Perhaps
the fact that Stephen was a Grecian
Jew provoked them to the act. He
was more than a match for them while
the debate was carried along the lines
of reason and Scripture.
2 ? Charged With Blasphemy (vv.
11-14).
They trumped up this charge and
endeavored to support it by secretly
finding and inducing men to perjure
?themselves in their testimony. Stephen
showed in his preaching that God's,
purpose was progressive and that the
\ policy Instituted by Moses should be
superseded by the new faith, since this
was the culmination of what Moses
began. He showed that the old dis
pensation would be superseded by the
J new and that the church would come
out into the liberty of Christ.
& ? Stephen's Face Transfigured (v.
I 15).
He was so completely filled with
Christ that his face shone as the face
I of an angel. It was Christ shining
I through him.
| III. Stephen's Defense (7:1-53).
j In refuting their charge he showed
by the history of God's dealing with
j the Jews that they had always resisted
! Him. Therefore their present attitude
j was because they were unwilling to
move forward with the divine purpose.
| As pointed out by Stifler four points
stand out in his defense:
1. God's dealings with the Jews
showed progress. The end was not
reached by a single leap but by grad
ual stages.
2. The temple was not the only holy
I place. God appeared at different places
! and at different times.
j ? 3. Israel Invariably opposed God as
I He tried to lead them on.
4. He showed his loyalty to Moses
by constantly referring to him.
IV. Stephen Stoned (7:54-60).
1. ? Looked Steadfastly Into Heaven
(v. 55).
This was the secret of his calm. If
he had looked about him he might
have been afraid.
2. He saw the glory of God.
A vision of God's glory carj only be
seen by those who are loyal unto Him,
even unto death.
3. He saw Jesus standing on the
J right hand of God. The fact that
, Jesus was standing shows that He Is
actively interested in the suffering of
, His faithful witnesses.
! 4. Cast him out of the city and
, stoned him.
| 5. His prayer (v. 60). How like that
of Jesus on the cross. Christ so cora
j pletely filled him that he could thus
act.
j 6. He fell asleep (v. 60). The Chris
) tian's death is only a sleep. This sub
j lime scene must have vitally affected
Saul who was consenting unto his
death.

TX7HEN in the course of fashion
* * events It becomes necessary to
declare one's Independence of newer
modes In order to retain a style that
Is becoming, comfortable and alto
gether charming, the declarer may
well consider those waist-and-sklrt, or
blouse-and-sklrt combinations that are
now so popular, and apparently are
destined to play a considerable part

provide a common-sense answer to the
desired qualities of simplicity, charm
and comfort in summer costumes, and

now must be Shapely, comfortable and

comeliness of the figure, without ham

that shown in the illustration, has re

TWO DISTINCT VARIATIONS OF THE MODE
jhey permit so many individual treat
ments that they do not become mo
notonous.
The two outfits shown here repre
sent two distinct variations of this
mode. The all-white costume at the
left Is made in the simple slip-over
pattern, with round neck and perfectly
j plain waist, that extends over the
j plaited skirt. It is finished at the waist
I with a belt of the material. A mono
1 gram Is embroidered below the pocket.
Chinese embroideries provide the in
spiration for the all-over design shown
on the blouse at the right. The pat
tern is worked out in jade green and
light blue against a background of
white crepe-de-chine. The straight
j plaited skirt Is of preen crepe-de-chine
in the \east, they are cool, and elastic,
so that they give to Me play oi
muscles while they support the figure
correctly.
Cotton and silk brocad?, surgical
webbing and elastic are the mediums
used by corset makers mainly. Cor
sets for special purposes, as well as
regulation styles, are turned out by
the manufacturers. For sports and
athletic requirements there is the
corselet and there are girdles of vari
ous sorts.
Both the front and back-lace corsets
have their devotees, with back-lace
outnumbering the front-lace fana
somewhat. With the modern corset
It is necessary to wear a brassiere, and
these are made in considerable variety,

:ollar anil short sleeves are finished
n the same shade of green as that in
.he skirt.
Hats and accessories are chosen
fvlth the idea of being In complete
larmony with the costume. The young
ady in white has a parasol covered
alth ribbon petals and wears a close
itting milan hat trimmed with two
afge ribbon rosettes posed at the
front. The hat at the right is of white
?repe de chine trimmed with a band of
;he same material edged with French
jnots of green silk.
Whoever doubts the progress of
?voraen in artistic sense, and In food
;omraon sense, has only to study
the history of corsets for the last
decade or so. Women have grown dis
criminating, exacting and sensible in
their demands of corset makers and
corset making has more than kept
pace with them. Their needs are an
a *> ?- ' '? ' ^ v
of light-weight .brocades, or heav;
laces, of webbing and of lighter ma
terials. The newest ones have dia
phragm supports Introduced in the
design and are anchored to the corset,
so that they will stay properly ad
justed. A very pretty, fancy brassiere
of plaited crepe, overlaid with embroid
ered chiffon, is shown in the picture.
The very foundation of good style In
dress, is proper corseting. It Is mar
velous how much can be done to make
the figure trim and gracious by choos
ing the right corset, and the new
models have done much toward the
success of the straight-line and artis
tically-draped dresses that distin
guish the mo(^8 of today.

away with a feller night before last

"Great grief!" ejaculated his hear
