Louise Marshall. Ill Chapel Program The chapel program given last. Friday was conducted by Mrs. Crawford, who is the teacher of _ the second grade. This program was concerning the life and poems of Robert Louis Stevenson. Several of the children gave poems yhich were acted by others of the child ren. Two examples of this are: One child recited the poem, "The Grapevine Swing", while another swudg in k swing which was 011 the itage. One little girl recited the poem "My Shadow and I" and the^fetage was so fixed that we could see her shadow. The stage was,jfwell decorated and the play waart-njoyed by ?)1.

TODAY and rAITH . . . . . a Negro I do not think I exaggerate when I Hay that an old negro who was buried the other day did more than scores ol ministers and hun dreds of churches to heln restore thousands of Americans ttrtlreir faith in God. The funeral service for Richard B. Harrison, the ven erable actor who played the part of "De Lawd" in the play "The Green Pastures," was conducted by the Episcopal Bishop of New York in the great Cathedral of St. John the Divine, as a tribute to the spiritual force that he. had exercised in the last five years of his life. Cynics may sneer and agnostic scoff at the childlike absurdity, as j it seems to them, of the simple faith of the negro as portrayed in that play. But faith is not the product of reason or oX logic; it springs not from the intellect but from the emotions. And few who have ever seen "The Green Pas tures" have failed to be profound ly stirred. I thought the Bishop's text might well have beeri taken from the 17th verse of the 18th chapter of the Gospel "Of St. Luke: "Who soever shall not receive the king dom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein." ? * * '.MILLIONS ; . . two girl* The matrimonial*' affairs of America's two richest young wo men are always first-page news. Everybody is interested in good looking young women and every body is interested in millions. The two in combination are irresisti ble. ---7-1? Barbara Hutton, the five-and ten-cent store heiress,, has an nounced that she is going to di vorce herself and her 4 2 million dollars from her Georgian prince, who hadn't anything but a title and good looks to trade for the $50,000 a year she has settled on him for life. I think both are get ting a good bargain. Doris Duke, with her 33 mil lions of tobacco money, had the good sense to pick an American husband who has brains and abi lity in His own right, who didn't have to marry for money, having plenty of it, and who is enough older than his4 bride to contribute the necessary worldly wisdom to make their marriage a succest. Knowing Jiirt Cromwell, I think both of them got a bargain, too. MAVERICK . . sans party Old Sam Maverick, who signed the Texas Declaration of Inde pendence in 1846, has the rare distinction of having had his name becolne a common noun.. A "maverick," as every western cow man knows, is an unbranded steer. Sam Mav?rick owned so many head of cattle, and had so much trouble'' during, the war between the in hiring enough cow boys to brand them all, that thous ands of them ran wild, as did those of many others. When the unbranded cattle were rounded up at the end of the war Sam Mav erick was foremost in his claim of ownership, until it became a com monplace saying in TexaB that any unbranded steer must be one of Maveriek's. ' , The word came into other uses, until it signifies today any persQii who plays a lone hand and does not run with the herd. Sam Maverick's grandson. Con gressman Maury Maverick of Texas, lives up to tlrt definition implicit In his name. He is one of a little group in Congress, 35 of them, who have banded togeth er to work for their own Ideas of advanced legislation, regardless of party orders. Of course, they have been nicknamed "mavericks," and the name fits. I think there is a very useful place in public life for mavericks ? for -men who refuse to be brand ed with party tags. ? ? ? SUGAR . , ' . - maple sap Up in Vermont they are tapping the sugar maples, five million of them. The mid-March thaw follow ing a hard Winter has started the sap flowing all along the north eastern border. Northern New York has begun to harvest its annual cr?p of maple sugar and syrup, though Vermont still pro duces more than any other state. Around my own farm in the Berkshires some of the neighbors with large families still extract the inaple sap, "bile" it down into syrup and then, usually, into mtiple sugar. .The old ".sugar bush" of somewhere above 100 sugar maples, two hundred years old and more, at the top of the hill above my nouse, pastil been tapped for a generation now. Hir ed help costs too much to make sugaring profitable, and my fam ily doesn't run to boys. I have to get my satisfaction out of the sugar season by recalling my own boyhood, and the fun we youngsters used to have riding on the ox-sleds that carted the sap barrels down to the big iron boil er. I probably wouldn't enjoy it much now, but halt the happiness of advancing years lies In remem bering moments of youthful ecstasy. ? * ?

'() X TROLK LOW K It PESTS WITH SI'K.VYS OK DUSTS Contrary to the general belief, nsect pests on flower gardens are lot a necessary evil from which here is no relief, says C. H. Bran ion, extension entomologist at State College. Although there are a few peats for which no satisfactory control method has., been developed, he points out, most them can be eradicated by application of in expensive sprays or dusts. Sucking insects, which draw their nourishment from inside tho plant, must be treated with a poi son that kills when it comes In contact with their skin. Plant lice,_ aphids, thrips, and scale insects fall in this group. Chewing insects, which eat leaves or small stems, may be eradicated by a stomach poison. When they eat the poison, death follows in a short time. Caterpil lars, leaf eating beetles, and grass hoppers are among the chewing insects. For sucking insects. Hrannon recommends a spray with. one aud a half teaspoonful of nicotine sul phate to a gallon of water,, or a dust with a half ounce of nicotine* sulphate to nirie and a half ounces of hydrated lime. For chewing insects, he recom mends a" spray composed of three teaspoonsful of arsenate of lead to a gallon of water, or five tea Bpoon8full of magnesium arsenate to a gallon of water. Or a dust may be prepared by mixing one part of arsenate of lead with four and a half parts of hydrated lime, or one part of magnesium arsen ate to three parts of hydrated lime. These mixtures are safe for de licate plants and bright colored flowers. Brannon says. Tougher plants will not be injured by a slightly stronger mixture of the foregoing sprays or dusts.
