Anatel Josepho arrived In New York via Ellis Island three years ago, a penniless dreamer envisioning the aale of an Idea to American finance. The dream came true. Several business leaders handed Josepho his check, named the Inventor vice president of the Phot oma ton, Inc., and announced plans for a nationwide chain of studios where the public might photograph itself, eight shots for a quarter. The Inventor holds to his Socialistic theories despite hia admission to capital. "I plan to create a trust fund with half of this money, to be devoted to general charity," he said. "The other half I plan to administer in the interests of various Inventions I consider worthy of development. "The average Inventor has a hard life and it la a rare Instance for him to reap rewards of his Inventions as I have done. I shall dedicate much of my life and new wealth to helping my brother Inventors to similar success." Josepho was born In Omsk, Siberia, SI years ago. He was Interned la Prague during the revolution, but eacaped through Turkey to Siberia. After tha war he opened cheap studioa in China and Japan and while there conceived his automatic photo device. Months of poverty and days and nights of .experimenting followed hia arrival in New York. He finally interested Henry Morgenthau. former ambassador to Turkey, and an experimental studio wsa opened In Broadway. Within six months 290,000 persons paid $70,000 to photograph themselves In almost two and a quarter million poses. Even Governor Smith became his own cameraman at the studio. Bight photos, each 2 by 1»4 inches long, are delivered to the sitter eight minutes after he drops his coin. The machines resemble telephone booths with both sides open. Mr. Morgenthau is chairman of the board of the company and Raymond Small, former vice president and general manager of the Postum Cereal company, Is president James O. Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America, and John T. Underwood, president of the Underwood Typewriters company, are directors. i '•vf^r; . Sttnir food we all can do. >.

Codling Moth Ruining Great Walnut Orchards Berkeley, Calif.--California walnut growers are much concerned over the inrnada of the codling moth on walnat orchards, according to the California experiment station. The moth Is the same that la now all too well known to apple growers. It is present In nearly all orchards of California to eome degree and Is very prevalent In some localities. In one particular orchard 31 per cent of the trees were Infested. The experiment station worked with tha codling moth In all stages of development. It was found that It moved freely from apples to walnuts, and its behavior was practically the same on both. The Insect lays eggs In the undeveloped flower, which Is stimulated to rapid growth. The larvae that emerge from the eggs are soon provided with abundant food In the surrounding tissue at the expense of apple or walnut host. 8praying the trees with 15 per ceut solution of basic arsenate of lead in the early weeks of June or as soon as possible is the method of extermination. Dusting the tree Is sometime* tried, but Is not as effective as spraying Apple trees In the vicinity of walnuts are now considered dangerous to one of California's best-knowu crops.

Statistics aren't up to the minute, but the 1925 figures, just «-<*Hitfete, show France no longer is the only "dying" nation. France in 1925 had 18.07 births per 1,000 population. Sweden dropped to 17.5, and even England made a poor er showing than France. But the glorious part of it. to the French, Is that Germany, with a rate of 35.7 a quarter of a century ago. now boasts only 20.5. "Nature hates a vacuum," says one commentator, "and Asia, resuming her march, will swarm over to till the void." Even Switzerland, say the statisticians. is on the downward trend In Its birth rate.
