EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—One man was burned to 
death, a fire captain was taken to a hos¬ 
pital injured, eight other firemen were 
overcome and 35 men, women and chil¬ 
dren rescued in a blaze April 11 which 
destroyed three frame buildings in Brook¬ 
lyn. X. Y., and caused more than $100,000 
damage. 
A Federal grand jury investigation of 
what is declared to he a nationally or¬ 
ganized “auto theft trust” began at Chi¬ 
cago April 11. Evidence already gathered 
was declared to show a traffic in more 
than 500 stolen machines, involving ex¬ 
pert thieves, dealers in used cars and 
salesmen. Six alleged members of the 
band were arrested. 
Governor N. E. Kendall April 11 signed 
a hill permitting the sale of cigarettes to 
adults in Iowa. The law becomes effec¬ 
tive July 4. Governor Kendall pointed 
out in a statement that through local op¬ 
tion provisions of the hill the sale of 
cigarettes to adults could be regulated at 
the discretion of any community. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—An experi¬ 
ment to ascertain whether sterilized Penn¬ 
sylvania chestnuts will grow in Ireland, 
where chestnut blight does not exist;, will 
be undertaken by the Pennsylvania State 
Department of Forestry in conjunction 
with the Ttoyal University at Dublin. The 
seeds will be planted, and if trees grow 
some will be sent here for trial, in the 
hope that chestnuts may be restored after 
the blight disappears. 
The age old question whether a clam 
is a migratory fish came to the Supreme 
(’ourt at Washington Ap: 'l r iot’ decision. 
Mussel fishermen operating on Little 
River, Mo., appealed for a review of de¬ 
cisions, holding that removal of the shell¬ 
fish from a public stream passing through 
private property was “trespass,” despite 
State laws vesting all right to game and 
fish in the public. The lower court held 
that “the fresh water mussel is a shellfish 
capable of locomotion sufficient to bring 
it within the category of migratory fish.” 
Beginning April 15, agricultural mar¬ 
ket reports are to be sent, to farmers and 
other agricultural interests by wireless 
from Omaha, St. Louis, Bellefonte, Pa., 
and Washington, D. C., officials of the 
Bureau of Markets, United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture, announced April 
9. Wireless stations of the United States 
Post Office Department are to he used 
for this purpose. Each station has a 
radius of approximately 300 miles and 
farmers located in 12 Central and 10 
Eastern States will be able to obtain 
either directly, or through local wireless 
receiving agencies, information relative to 
prices and conditions at the leading agri¬ 
cultural market centers and shipping 
points the same day that business is 
transacted. 
Lower transportation charges, economy 
in taxation, equal treatment under any 
tariff law and short-time credits are 
among the subjects representatives of 
farmers in 30 States began discussing at 
Washington April 11 preliminary to mak¬ 
ing up a program of legislation which will 
be asked of Congress for relief of the 
agricultural situation. In addition to re¬ 
ceiving the reports from their delegates 
the executive committee was addressed by 
A. F. Lever, member of the Federal Farm 
Loan Board, and held a round table dis¬ 
cussion with Governor Ilarding of the 
Federal Reserve Board. 
Notice is given by the Department of 
Agriculture that Quarantine No. 49, de¬ 
signed to prevent the introduction of the 
citrus black fly, went into effect April 1. 
This quarantine prohibits—except under 
special permit—the entry.into the United 
States from Cuba, the Bahamas, Jamaica, 
the Canal Zone. Costa Rica, India. Phil¬ 
ippine Islands, Ceylon and Java of "fruits 
and vegetables in the raw or unprocessed 
state, and of plants or portions of plants 
used as packing material in connection 
with shipments of such fruits and vege¬ 
tables, or otherwise.” This refers to ba¬ 
nanas, pineapples, oranges, etc., as well 
as plants from which those fruits are ob¬ 
tained. 
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.—The fol¬ 
lowing points were recommended in Presi¬ 
dent Harding’s message to Congress April 
V2: 
No American participation in the ex¬ 
isting League of Nations, but hoping and 
aiming for an association of nations which 
the United States can join.

resolution establishing peace with the 
Central Powers. 
Immediate reduction of railway rates 
and costs of operation. 
Establishment and maintenance of a 
great Ameriean merchant marine. 
Substantial relief from tax burdens by 
the readjustment of internal taxes, par¬ 
ticularly the repeal of the excess profits 
tax. 
That the tax burden be lifted and the 
war debt liquidated by striking heavily at 
governmental expenditure. 
Co-ordination of gov rnmental agencies 
for the care of disabled soldiers. 
Encouragement of aviation and the air 
mail service. 
An inquiry by Congress, without haste, 
in charges of profiteering, to speed price

tween producer and consumer.

movement for disarmament, but no dis¬ 
armament on the part of the United 
States alone. 
Establishment of a Department of Pub¬ 
lic Welfare, with a Cabinet officer at its 
head. 
Telling Farmers’ Wives 
A farmer’s wife in Trumbull 
County, Ohio, wrote to ask, 
"Why don’t you tell us farmers’ 
wives as much about Jell-0 as you 
do the city women, and why not give 
us the same chance to get Jell-0 
when we want it ?” 
That was some time ago, and since 
then Jell-0 has been placed on sale 
in practically every general store in 
America, including the one at the 
Corners and the Cross Roads, where 
it can be obtained as easily as at the 
groceries in the big towns. 
The Jell-0 Book is free to every 
woman everywhere. It is full of re¬ 
cipes for the desserts and salads that 
are most popular just now, not only 
because they are cheaper than almost 
anything else that is worth serving, 
but are really better than any made 
at much greater expense. And most 
of them can be made in a minute. 
. The Jell-0 Book will be sent to you 
if you will write and ask for it. 
Jell-0 is put up in six pure fruit 
flavors: Strawberry, Raspberry, 
Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Chocolate, 
and is sold by all grocers and gen¬ 
eral stores, 2 packages for 25 cents.
