Atlanta, Ga.—That love is blind has
Just been proved In police court here
when a blind man, his blind wife, and
her alleged affinity, blind also, were
arraigned for trial following a battle
royal between the two men. after the
husband had come home unexpectedly.
Martin Strode. the husband, told the
recorder that while peddling religious
tracts In the streets a friend had warn-
ed him that a rival was paying court
to his wife and thnt he had better go
home.
On his arrival there he said he found
Sam Stewart enjoying a chat with the
wife. Then the fight started. Most of
the furniture In the room was wrecked,
but the combatants suffered less In-
jury, due to their inability to get at
each other properly.
“One day in a dark cell In the po-
lice station for Stewart.” said the
judge.

A minute, green caterpillar, called
the red-handed leaf-roller, has attract-
ed attention through Its attack on
vegetable crops, particularly beans,
sweet potatoes, asparagus and corn,
as well as strawberries and other
plants. The extent of the damage,
however, which has been Investigated
by entomologists of the United States
Department of Agriculture Is not
large, seldom being sufficient to war-
rant artificial control measures.
This caterpillar rolls a leaf shelter,
the Interior of which'Is rather difficult
to reach with insecticides. Ordinarily,
the rolled leaves can be clipped and
burned, ns they are easily detected.
Arsenate of lend, two or three pounds
to 50 gallons of water, is recommend-
ed as a foliage spray when the leaf-
roller becomes abundant.

One of those popular elections which
do not decide and speedily become un-
popular, may be said to character-
ize the plebiscite In Upper Silesia.
Germany received a heavy majority of
the total vote, hut It came from the
larger towns and centers of popula-
tion. Polish strength was manifested
principally in the villages and among
agricultural groups, and the conten-
tion has arisen as to whether the re-
turns shall be Interpreted by the whole
majority or by village and group units.
Various factors contributed to the Ger-
man majority, the principal among
them being that military service Is no
longer compulsory In Germany, where-
as Polish citizens must serve two
years; German factory and mine own-
ers threatened to close their works If
Poland won the plebiscite, so many
Polish employees voted in favor of
Germany through fear of losing their
jobs; the Berlin government vaguely
promised to share the big landed es-
tates In Upper Silesia among the small
land owners and Germany promised
amnesty to all political offenders. Al-
ready there has been violence In the
disputed territory and although the
Interallied commission which super-
vised the voting will have to decide

wife who had
been divorced by mutual agreement
were both looking for apartments.
Frequently their paths crossed In their
search for- quarters. The first time
they met they bowed gravely but po-
litely. Their mutual smile gradually
broadened as the hunt for flats nar-
rowed down to a few hovels in the
slum section.
“Let’s kiss and make up and go
-back to our Hat," the wife finally said,
and they did.
President Mlllerand, who recently
took possession of the Elysee palace,
received 41 applications for his apart-
ment In the Avenue de Villars.
Henry Landru, who has been In La
Saute prison for the last 20 months
awaiting trial on charges growing out
of the disappearance of 11 women, re-
cently was dispossessed from the flat
that lie bad occupied on the Boulevard
Rochechouart, a rather sordid section
of Paris. Requests came from every
quarter In Paris, some even from aris-
tocratic Auteull, asking that the flat
be reserved.
A vagrant just finishing 30 days In
La Sante prison told his cellmate un-
der sentence of five years for swin-
dling that he dreaded to return Into
cold, dreary Paris. He was homeless;
prospects of spending the winter
nights under Paris bridges did not ap-
peal to him. The prisoners exchanged
clothing and cards of Identity, and
w’hen the warder called for the va-
grant to send 1dm out Into the cold
world the swindler responded. The
fraud was discovered o’nly when the
swindler’s lawyer called at the jail.

building Is reported,

struggling with the rent problem.
London.—Paris, according to the
London Daily Telegraph correspond-
ent, is talking about a new flying ma-
chine and the romantic story of its
invention.
It is called the “hellcoptere," and
the inventor, M. I’ateras-l’escara, a
Barcelona engineer, made bis discov-
ery in the Saute prison at two o’clock
in the morning. It is claimed for this
new flying vehicle. In which the
French government Is Interested, for
it will send a technical missioti to Bar-
celona to witness the trials, that pas-
sengers can descend from the air with
the same comfort as though they were
sitting in armchairs.
How It Works.
The Invention consists of an axle
fixed to a motor which Is placed in
the vehicle. The axle sets in motion
sets of propellers, one set turning one
way, one another. The vehicle rises
vertically from the ground; It can dip
in every direction, remain immobile In
space, and decend like
with engine stopped.
M. Pateras-Pescara, a nationalized
Argentine, who married an Austrian
princess, had to leave Italy when that
country entered the war. He came
to France, where he was employed in
the ministry of inventions. In 1916
he was at work on a bombing machine
which was Intended to fly between
Paris and Berlin with a cargo of ex-
plosives at a speed of 130 miles an
hour. He had had trouble with the
diplomatists and was watched by the
International police.
Arrested, he was taken to the Saute
prison, and tt was in his cell on De-
cember 18, 1916, that he solved the
problem of the “hellcoptere.” The ex-
pulsion proceedings against him were
dropped, and after his release he ap-
plied himself to his invention.
Proves Successful.
In August, 1919, a mission from the
French air department went to Bar-
celona to witness the trials of his
parachute "hellcoptere,’’ and as a re-
sult of Its report :i contract wa»
signed with the inventor. Compelled
to reside outside France, M. Pescara
built a definite model of his machine
at Barcelona. It was tried recently,
and it is said that the propellers
worked admirably.
With reference to this claim of the
Barcelona Inventor, it may he pointed
out that there Is nothing whatever
new about the Idea of a "hellcoptere,”
I. e.. a machine capable of rising from
the ground by the action of horizon-
tally-placed propellers. The plan, in
fact. Is one of the oldest in the history
of aeronautical theory and experi-
ment. and has been put forward more
than once during the past quarter of
a century. Whether M. Pescara has
succeeded In surmounting the difficul-
ties heretofore encountered remains
to be seen.

Domestic economic considerations

stabilizing of exchange rates and the
establishing of a more settled state of

lacking, both inside and outside the
