Death and Destruction of
Property Over Four States
One of the worst tornados in
Tecent years swept through parts
of six western states las! Wed
nesday evening.
Indiana and Illinois suffered
most front the storm, entire vil
lages being swept away. The
dead is estimated at 1.000 and in
jured at 2.500. At Murphrysboro,
Illinois, a school building .col
lapsed, buring 200 children be
neath it, most of whom were
killed.
The storm apparently came
cut of the Oxark hills in Atkan
sas and first struck at Annapolis,
Mo. Several small towns in the
path of storm were virtually de
stroyed Human bodies were
carried more than a mile by the
wind while pieces of timber
were blown fifteen miles Fire
broke out in the ruins left by the
storm, adding to the horror.
It covered an area of about
700 square miles, southern Illi
nois suffering the worst damage.
Over 5,000 persons are homeless
and the hospitals crowded with
injuted and dying.
The l^ss and damage to prop
erty is estimated at more than
$10,000,000. Many small towns
in southern Illinois and Indiana
Missouri and Kentucky were al
most swept off the map.
The Red Cross were soon on
hand to aid the injuted and sol
diers were also sent to aid those
who needed help
The Red Cross rushed sup
plies from St Louis. Chicago
offered $500,000. The Illinois
legislature appropriated a like
amount and the Missouri legisla
ture $25,000 and the southern
Illinois American Legion $6,000.
Congress to Let Oldest
Lighthouse Go to Ruin
Barnegat, X. J.—The iighthouse
bureau. United States Department of
Commerce, has practicaiiy abandoned
a!! idea of restoring historic Barnegat
iighthouse on tire Jersey coast. Tills
is one of tiie oidest itghthouses in
America. The board plans to substitute
a steo] rower to serve navigation.
Apparently, efforts of those living In
the vicinity of Barnegat and of the
X'ew Jersey state oiHciais to have the
f"!erai government restore this his
toric iandmark have failed. If the
state legislature dues not provide funds
for its preservation it wiii be but a
few years before it wit! fati into the
sea.
Robert Engie. member of the Xew
Jersey state hoard of commerce and
navigation; W. T. Sherman, engineer
of the board, and Steward W. Appieby
of Asbury Park, son of Representative
T. Frank Appieby. who has shown
much interest in the old lighthouse
restoration, heid a conference with
Assistant Secretary of Commerce J.
Walton Drake to learn the govern
ment's position in regard to the light
house and to urge the department to
take steps to restore it to Hrst-ciass
condition.
Congress appropriated $100,000 to
restore the old iighthouse. Mr Drake
said it woutd cost $417,000 permanent
iy to restore it, so it was decided to
buiid s steei tower, costing $0,000 in
stead.

HOSTESS LATEST
BARBER SHOP JOB
Smoothes Away Embarrass
ments for Women.
York.—For the first time )n his
tory, harbor altops have lutstesses.
These dlreetora of hirsute traftie sug
gest type of halrdressittg, smooth away
the embarrassment which many wom
en fee) tn seeking a mate barbers'
advice as to coiiTures and assist' pa
trons in spending their money.
This deveiopment was inangurated
by a department store whieh for years
maintained its [dace of business on
Sixth avenne and was somewhat re
moved from the Fifth avenue trade.
Xow the roneem has a Fifth avenue
shop and has hired hostesses for its
barber simp to make patrons feei at
home in the new surroundings.
Dutiaa of the Hostesses.
Strange it is. but true, that many
of the newer eomera to this country
tind more difficulty in spending fheir
money titan in getting i). blew York
is fuli of nowiy rich peopie of foreign
birth. With inerensing prosperity the
women of these fatniiies have found
that the oid standards of attraetive
tiess witieit appeaietl to the men In
other eottntries are ohsoiete iiere anti
they ate determined to itve up to im
proved conditions. Hence the boh, the
barber and the hostess.
The hostesses of the present-day
shops are counted «n to iteip them.
Most of the hostesses etnpioyed hy the
smart shops today are of certain age.
Hut a)i are shining examples of pres
ervation. Young women are not
sottgiit. tint a woman of fifty who stiit
bus attractive hair, aithough it may
be white, a fresh skin and a tigure
ean usuaiiy obtain such a position,
tier chances are enhanced if she
speaks one or more foreign iattgttages.
For the cashiers of the women's bar
her shops cash more cheeks signet)
with "his mark" titan any institution
except deaiers in foreign exchange.
in the men's shop a barber who wiil
not taik is at a premium; hut itt the
women's hairdressing establishment a
barber who cannot talk ftiferesritWy'
has hut a brief time between ititttseif
and separation from the payroil.
Other Shops Adopt Pian.
The so-called exeiusive shops for
women's ciothing just off Fifth avenue
also have taken the hostess to their
payroiis. To earn the weekly saiary
cheek it is necessary for these women
not only to wear clothes wait but to
tai'; them weil. One shop is so exetus
ive that it soils nothing for cash, tte
fore one may bay a sampie of its prod
tuts, it is necessary to pstabiish an
account for gl.otk).
For many years this simp has never
sold a mode) for less titan (-30 hut
recently it bus estabiisiied a depart
ment on an upper floor where those
who do not fee) equal to purchases at
that rate oeeasionaily can buy a dress
as low as $90. That, however, is the
irredueibte minimum, as the hostess

eration witit the states of Xew Jersey
and Pennsytvania anti tite federai itor
ticuiturai board, the prevention of the
spread of the Japanese beetie has
been enforced to the fuiiest extent
possible by means of a rigid embargo
on a very iarge ciass of produce iikeiy
to be moved out of the infested areas.
Corn Borsr Expands.
The European corn borer has made
its appearance on t!te western end of
Long Isiand, and the infestation in the
Ohio area at the western end of Lake
Erie has intensified. Progress has
been made in the work of importing
insect parasites of the com borer frotn
southern Europe. Generai controi
eamottigns have been instituted.
(w imported parasite is aiding in
th.- alfalfa .weeytj. v i g
oesus controi efforts by state and fed
erat entomologists are beiieved to
have contributed importantiy to the
suppression of grasshopper outbreaks
in the Dakotas. Montana. Coiorado,
Wyoming, Texas and Oklahoma. Ex
tensive investigations have been made
in connection with weevtis attacking
stored products of aii kinds, resuiting
in the recommendation of senera! bet
ter and safer meticais of fnnligation.
The Mexican bean beetie has con
tinued its rapid spread, ft has now
aimost reached Lake Erie, has been
found in West Virginia near Pennsyi
vanta, and has extended its range
greatiy in the Southeastern states.
Attempts to estabiish a tachintd fly
parasite have thus far been unsuccess
ful, but it is hoped that this can be
done eventuaiiy.
Extreme coid weather in January,
1924, and a phenotneuai drought iater,
tn the states from Alabama westward,
resuited in a iow emergence of the cot
ton boii weevii this year. Controi
measures have been perfected aiong
several iines, inciuding airplane dust
ing and the maintenance of a suppiy
of cah-ium arsenate, and the outiook
is encouraging.
Bark-beetle controi projects in the
PactHc coast states and the Rocky
mountain region have continued to re
quire much attention.
Mew contact tnsactlctde.
A Mw contact insecticide, which
wiiiinmany instances be a suitable
substitute for nicotine at a tower cost,
has been deveioped at the Sitver
Spring (Md.) iaboratory. The practi
cal vatue of pure ethyl acetate as a
fumigant for grain at railway termi
nals has been demonstrated. The sub
stitution of hydrocyanic-acid gas funri
gation for sprays and other treatment
of hides and skins for the control of
the hide beetie has been a complete
success. A new fortnuia under Inves
tigation at the Oriando (Fla.) station,
the so-called kaolin emulsion, has
proved to have distinct merit in the
control of scaie insects affecting citrus
fruit trees. A project is under way,
involving co-operation with the bureau
of pqbiic roads and the bureau of
standards, to team the effect of the
eiectricai charging of particies of in
secticide dust produced by the air
piane used in airplane dusting of cot
ton Hetds.
Studies -relating to the probiems of
bee-keeping, such as the diseases of
bees, the causes of differences in the
colors of honeys and the behavior of
bees, as affected by change in me
teoroiogicai and other factors, have
continued at the bee iuboratory at
Somerset, Md.
In recognition of the position Hiled
by the insect pest survey, the ento
mologist in charge of the survey has
been requested to participate in the
meetings of the crop estimate board,
to serve that board in an advisory ca

issues estimates.
