Carbon Bisulfide Is Recommended as Aid For Weevil Control To help victory gardeners safely store their 1943 bean crop against the ravages of the bean weevil, treatment with carbon hicnlfiriA wac rprnmmpnHiaH frtHav by W. Ralph Taylor, Rock Island county larm adviser. "Common hrnn wppvila hrpprt throughout the year in dry seeds stored in a warm place, and tney may be found in all stages of growth throughout the winter months.

Under no condition should weevil-infested beans be planted. As soon as the crop is harvested, the beans should be thorrtneh.lv ririerl and fumigated with carbon bisulfide before they are stored, to prevent reintecta-tion, tight sacks should be used for storing them," said the farm adviser. "To fumigate quantities of less than one bushel, put the beans into a tight container big enough to hold the amount to be fumigated and still leave a little air space at the top. Use one-sixth ounce of carbon bisulfide for each gallon of beans to be fumigated. Pour the carbon bisulfide on top of the beans.

Then place a tight cover on the container. It is best not to attempt fumigation when the temperature is below 70 de-The container should re main covered for 24 to 48 hours, after which time tne Deans may ha rpmnvprl. aired and daced in storage. This treatment does not injure the germination properties of the bean nor detract from their food "It must be remembered that carbon bisulfide is inflamable and when mixed with air is explosive. Furthermore it is not safe to store in the house, so only tne neeaea amount should be purchased.

Another precaution is that the fumes of carbon bisulfide are poisonous, and breathing them should be avoided," Taylor re ported.

Knew War Cominjr, Declares Struna Speaks at Initial Meeting of Year of After Dinner Club "Approximately 10 years ago there were only two countries in Europe, Russia and Czechoslovakia, who saw a new danger rising on the horizon to European peace when the German people elected Adolf Hitler chancellor of Germany," detlared Dr.

Richard Struna, before the initial 1943-44 meeting of the Moline After Dinner club Monday night at the Scottish Rite cathedral. Dr. Struna returned to the United States recently after living under Hitler and the Gestapo for two years. "Prior to the rise of Hitler, Russia was busy developing an educational system, improving transportation facilities and improving the living conditions of the farmer and working class of people," said Dr. Stuna.

He added, however, that Russia immediately increased its military budget as soon as Hitler was named chancellor. "Russia's military budget was increased to $3,000,000,000 in 1933 and then skyrocketed to by 1937. To increase the strength of the Red army in 1939. a sum of $29,000,000,000 was set aside for the Russian military ma- chine. Commends Roosevelt "Not only were the majority of the European countries complacent of Hitler's military might but you people in America held the same attitude with the exception of a few of your leaders, including President Franklin D.

Roosevelt, who really knew that Hitler meant war," stated the speaker. "I predict that Russia alone could defeat Hitler if necessary but Stalin has continually pleaded for a second front because he knows the Germans can't afford to fight on two fronts. "The final defeat of the -Nazis will come when Germany is forced to. withdraw 60 to 70 divisions from Russia to fight the Anglo-Americans and when the Red air nron virl Va A r-i rrl rt A rr ari fnry ail" forces can set up permanent air fields an the Caucasus and in southern Italy to destroy Hitler's oil refineries in Rumania, When these two objectives are accomp lished it will mean the end of Germany." Peace Alms The speaker declared that after the defeat of Hitler and the Nazis the Russian government will insist on a share of Poland; certain air fields in Finland; she may ask for the Baltic states, Estonia, Lativa and Lithuania; and to throw off completely the Nazi yoke from other occupied European countries. "In addition to territorial demands Russia will want to be an equal among nations, she'll want to be respected and have a understanding with China, the United States and Great Britain," claimed Dr.

Struna. Previous to the introduction of the principal speaker, A. W. Wood, chairman of the membership committee, introduced 49 new members who were added to the 1943-44 list.

AHOY ma Lieutenant Photo by Koehne Studios, Chicago F. W. LINDEN, JR. Frederick W. Linden, of Moline, was recently promoted from lieutenant (j.

to the rank of lieutenant in the U. S. Naval Air forces. Lt. Linden has been on advance base duty with the fleet air squadron in the Caribbean and South Atlantic since his graduation from the Pensacola naval school, and was recently transferred to the Pacific fleet air force, Lt.

Linden is the son of Mr and Mrs F. W. Linden, 1920 Fif teenth street, Moline. Seek Increase in Sharing of Autos Motorists who have been granted and supplemental gasoline rations were urged by F. B.

Lofgren, chairman of the Moline war price and rationing board, to increase the number of passengers per car in an effort to reduce the gallonage consumption which now is running in excess of the quota and to get people to work who no longer can operate cars. The goal, he said, was to step up car sharing in the nation, which stands at an average of 1.9 passengers per car to 3.5 per car. OPA field representatives will visit plants in the near future, discussing ways and means of increasing car pooling with both company officials and members oi plant transportation committees. Through these efforts it is hoped to reduce gasoline consumption by 66,000 barrels daily in the 15 middlewest and southwest states in PAW district 2. The fourth quarter quota, which started Oct.

1, has been set by the petroleum administration for war at 467,000 barrels daily for the district. At the present rate of con-sumrtion, 533,000 barrels daily, motorists would be exceeding the quota by 66,000 barrels. "We are anxious to see that every essential worker is enabled to get to his job," Lofgren said. "However, all applications for supplemental gasoline are to be closely analyzed in order to conserve precious motor fuel. The needs of the armed forces must come first and I'm sure no patriotic American would want to make the task tougher for the fighting men by depriving them of materials with which to engage in combat."

GIRL, 16, STABBED TO DEATH BY MATE IN A MOLINE CAFE (Continued from Page One) wife at the Best Ever cafe. He said he made an appointment with her to meet her in the Le Claire hotel at 8 o'clock last night after she went off duty at the restaurant. Knocked at Door Evidently expecting trouble, the girl is believed to have had no intention of keeping the appointment. John Pappas, pro prietor of the Best Ever, closed the place for business about 8 p. locking the front door.

A few moments later Eveland knocked at the door, but neither his wife nor Pappas heeded him. Continuing to knock at the front door, Eveland called out to his wife: "Just come out to sign this birth certificate of mine." Pappas said the man held a piece of paper in front of him, waving it fran tically. Mrs Eveland then went to the door and opened it, whereupon Eveland stepped in the doorway, clutched her tightly with one arm and proceeded to stab her re peatedly in the chest with the pocket knife in the other hand, according to Pappas, and two men who were also in the restaurant at the time. Examination at the hospital revealed the woman had been stabbed about 11 times. The girl slumped to the sidewalk.

Police said that when she was placed in the ambulance, they thought she was already dead. In the ambulance she revived and asked for a drink of water. Physicians pronounced her dead at 8:40. Witnesses In the restaurant at the time of the stabing, besides Pappas, was Harry Miller, 1912 Fifth avenue, Moline; and Glen Ogden, 3315 Eighteenth avenue, Rock Island, according to the police. They witnessed the affair.

At about 8:05 p. m. Desk Sergeant A. V. Geller-sted received a telephone call from Mrs Eveland at the restaurant, saying her husband was knocking at the front door and that she wanted police protection to get to her rooming house.

Sergt Gellerstedt immediately placed the call on the police radio, summoning Officers Kyle Lewis and Julian DeGreve to the restaurant. They were cruising in the squad car at Prospect Park when the call was received on the air. The two policemen sped to the restaurant, arriving there a moment after the young woman had opened the front door to fall victim to her husband's attack. Policeman Lewis took from Eveland the pocket knife which he had used. In his savage attacks upon his wife, Eveland had broken the blade of the knife.

Pappas told police he hurled a cha'r at Eveland in an attempt to ward him off his wife. The man seemed crazed, and continued to stab his wife, Pappas said. Eveland Talks Eveland told newspaper reporters today that his act was not premeditated. "I don't know how it happened," he sobbed from his cell. Asked why he did it, he replied: "I did not want to lose her." He said he had been drinking yesterday.

After fining the man in police court Saturday, Magistrate Stephenson ordered Eveland to keep away from his wife, who was taking steps to obtain a divorce. They were married at Kahoka, last January. Parentless, the girl was given permission by her guardian in Tulane county, California, to marry. Their marriage followed a brief courtship in Bushnell where Eveland said he met her in a tavern where she was employed as a barmaid. Last August, they met a man, Fred Stapleton, in a tavern in Bushnell, and in the course of their visit with him, Eveland is said to have discovered that the man, employed at.

the Burlington, Iowa, ordnance plant, was carrying a considerable roll of bills. Still together in the evening, the three went for a ride in the country in Stapleton's car, when Eve-' land is alleged to have forced his wife to take Stapleton's billfold containing the money from his pocket while he was under the influence of liquor. The robbery was reported to have token place on a road between Macomb and Spoon river, south of Bushnell. The robbery was revealed in papers found on Eveland's person when Moline police arrested him the night of Sept. 22 in his room on Seventh avenue.

It was learned that Eveland forced his wife to sign the papers, which purported to exonerate him from robbing Stapleton. Betty Eveland told Policewoman Geneva Dunderberg that she participated in the robbery because she was forced to do so by her husband.

Handicap Tourney By shooting two brilliant rounds of 73 and 75, only four over par figures, John Klouser captured the championship of the men's fall handicap tournament at Oak- wood Country club by defeating Herman Kramer by a score of 4 and 3 in the 36 hole final match. Kramer had a pair of 78's for his two rounds, with Klouser giving two strokes on each round to his opponent.

The match started out wth both players beng even at the end of the first nine holes, Klouser having a one over par 37 to Kramer's 38. On the second nine, Klouser came back with an even par 36 to Kramer's 40 to take a 4 up lead which he never relinquished. On the third nine hole round, Klouser fired another even par round to increase his lead to 7 up with only nine holes to play. At this point Kramer rallied to cut the lead to 4 up by winning the first three holes in one under par figures. Kramer then bogied No.

4 while Klouser was getting a par 4 to increase his lead to 5 up and make his opponent dormy. Both fired bogey 6's on the long No. 5 but as Kramer received his last stroke on this hole, he won the hole to keep the match alive.

Recreation Officials From Baltimore, Visit Youth Center After visiting and inspecting the Moline Recreation center, known as the "REK' Monday, H. S. Callowhill, executive director of the Baltimore, a public recreation commission, and Al-dine R. Bird, representative from the Baltimore News-Post, stated today that the policy of youth self-government is the most attractive feature of the recreation center. The main purpose of the visit by Mr Callowhill and Mr Bird is set up plans for a system of recreation in Baltimore that will reach all the youth of the Maryland city.

The two men will stay in Moline until Wednesday. At a meeting, staged in the "REK" Monday night, Mr Bird explained that the coastal city already' has various recreation stations throughout the city but that they had not followed the plan of permitting the youths to handle their own problems in administration. The commission, he stated, plans to establish recreation centers so that one will be available to each group of youths in each part of the city. It is expected that this plan will greatly alleviate the growing problem of the increased juvenile delinquency. The plan is a result of a study made of comparitive increase in youth crimes since the war.

Mr Bird reported that the Baltimore commission found that juvenile court records show an increase of 17 per cent in cases brought before the judge from January of this yeaf to the present, as compared with a similar period last year. "The percentage of increase is approximately the same in other cities of a comparative size," Mr Bird asserted. The Baltimore delegates said that the Baltimore action is being carried out in conjunction with a nation-wide plan to adapt the "Moline Plan" to conditions in the respective cities. Mrs T. B.

Mirfield, spoke for the Moline committee, explaining how the center had been established and the work of the adult committee in taking care of the major financial problems. Tom Finfgeld, co-chairman of the house committee, presented the plan of youth administration. Fight to Remove Tax On Margarine Again Up for House Action WASHINGTON, D.
