This method will catch the wingless female as she climbs the tree after emerging from the ground in the spring, The fall webworm is a common pest, but one to, guard against, Despite the "tents" they erect, see illustration, the webworm is often not noticed until its weblike nests are built in August and September. The mature webworm a white moth, lays eggs on the under sides of tree foliage. The larvae feed on the tender portions of the leaves Fruit tr es are on the diet list of web- worms, •,,- - One method of control of webworm is to cut off the branches holding the nests and destroy by burning. The nests can also be burnt out by apply- ing a torch to them, being careful not to injure the tree. Slice cabbage and cook for 10 min- utes in boiling salted water, then drain.

THE BOMBER PRESS IN GREAT BRITAIN Another in a series of articles written by W. R. Legge and C. V. Charters, who represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association in a recent tour overseas. OLD INNS OF ENGLAND By Walter R. Legge Following the completion of the Bomber Press series of articles, some readers have enquired why there was not one article 'about the old inns the party visited. Such an article really has, little, to do'with the war effort, so that it could not properly belong in the Bomber Press series. However, the old inns play a most important part in the life and history of England; and we natur- ally visited a number of them. Nearly every settlement of any size in England possesses at least one an- cient inn well worth a visit, with an interesting history and picturesque ar- chitecture. Probably the most famous, to Can- adians at least, is the Old Chesire Cheese in Fleet Street, which dates erb location on the. Thames, Our party can testify that an excellent meal is still being served there. Our home for many clays was the "Old Ship" hotel at Brighton, one of the best known of the numberless hotels at that seaside city. It was here that Dickens spent ten clays` in 1837 when he was writing "Oliver Twist", and he described his quarters as a "beautiful bay-windowed sitting room, fronting- the:sea". (Could it have been the same room that was occupied by Messrs. Charters and Legge while there?) This was far from the only time that Dickens stayed at the Old Ship, and he wrote from this hotel to George Cattermole who waS.iltustra- ting the "Old Curiosity Shop." Dickens is known to have made many trips to Brighton and probably was often at this old hotel. It did `not take us long to discover that the, best meals in England in war- time are to be found in some of the smaller old Inns, and two of the best meals we had while there were served at the "White Hart" at Lewes, only a few miles from Brighton,' At this inn, the carving is done in the dining room by Mrs. Walton, wife of the proprietor. The building is a very old one dat- . ing from the fourteenth century, and was the borne of the Pelham rattily, from which family came the Dukes of Newcastle and the Earls of Chichester, The mansion was turned. into an Inn about 1717, and since then has enter- tained many celebrities, After our second meal there, Mr, Walton took the party through the wine cellar of the Inn. This cellar in reputed to have been used to eorifine prisoners during the Commonwealth period, and, is referred to in this eon- neetiott is ""Ovingdean Grange" by Harrison Ainsworth. There is some very fine oak panelling of the Tudor period in the two drawing rooms. Another fine meal at a small unit was enjoyed in the same district at the Roebuck Inn at Wych Cross, the jun- ction of two old Roman roads. This Inn is not an old One, although it is made to loop antiquated, Grantham, in Lincolnshire has two fainetia old inns, the "Atigel"•arid the "Gore." The latter, at which, the had a delicious Thneh proudly displays a brass Plate setting forth the ,phtuse in Dief<eng "Nitholas iklickiebe Which reads, "Twenty miles •further en, Mil of the front outside passengers wisely availing themselves of theit: arrival at one of the best Inns 'in England,' turned in, for the night, at the George at Gratham." The George dates from 1780, but does not look as interesting as the Angel goes back to the fifteen- th century and once lodged Richard HI. ,„ Bristol has many fascinating old, Inns, probably the most interesting being the "Llandoger Trow" which was built in 1664, one of a block of half-timbered houses by the Welsh Back quay, The quay is cobble-stone and the mooring posts are ancient ships' cannon, It was from here that the Hispaniola" of Stevenson's "Treasure Island" set Out and 'the Llandoger Trow was probably the "Spyglass." Bristol was, one of the most famous pirates' haunts in the world; and some of the most notorious pirates came from there, such as Capt. .8dward Teach, (Blackbeard, as he was called), Capt. Bartholomew Roberts, and the pirate woman, Mary Read. The cellars of the Llandoger Trow' were, used as temporary prisons by the Press gangs, and also for rum running, and one passage leads to the WeWt Back quay,,and another to the Theatre Royal, Many famous people have been en. tertained at the Llasdoger -Trow, is- cludisg, Henry frvin, Wilson Barrett, Hate Terry, Beerbohm Tree 'and Judge? Jeffreys, In it Defoe met Dr. Selkirk, the original of Robinson Crugoe, 'Me ceiling of the bar is now a Shiby black, but it is said that original.. ly it was covered with excellent paint. ings of scantily clad ladies, but some 200 yearn ago a fascinating widow Who.

These dart boards are tremendously popular in tngland and nay be 'found tut almost every hotel, Aux inn which wilhbe renumbered by moat Gsl tailiat *.bo' weo in the laSt war is the Royal Anchor at Liphook. one of the features of this hotel is that all the rooms are named after famous- people who have occupied them. This Inn dates from 1745, It is famous for the immense and very ofd chestnut tree in front of it, and also because it was a haunt of Lord Nelson and. Lady Hamilton. It has to share that fame with a great many other places,. because I concluded that there are as, many places in Ehgland where Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton sojourn- ed, as there .are places in. America. where George Washington slept, Salisbury, which some of us visited one Sunday has a number of famous old Inns. 'We were strongly recom- commended to, get our lunch at the "Haunch of Venison" but found that it did not serve meals on Sunday. 'This is believed to be the inn described in Dickens ",Martin Chuzzlewit" where Tom. Pinch went to meet Martin Chita*: zzlewit, and also -where Toni returned after his dismissal from Mr. Peck- Sniff. Another hotel in Salisbury AO ich'fig- in the same book is the White liart,. where Tigg and Jonas came on the night" of their disastrous ride fig= London, The White Hart is quite a large hotel with the figure of a 'white hart on top of the front, This white hart can be seen for 'some distance down the street. We were not able to get lunch at either of these hotels and went to the County Hotel. Another interesting old inn at .which We stayed was the Saracen's Head at Lincoln; but we could not learn it had any special history, The inns motioned above are some that we visited or stayed at, but we passed large numbers of other, picture. sque ones. With the various restric- tions now in force, most of theta are closed for a good part of the day, One other inn was worthy of men- tion, the Nortibgate Arms, an old but which is &audiol condition, and at which we were served a splendid meal, it is situated a few miles from Bath and stands entirely alone. There are no end of intis.in England called "The Marquis "of' Granby" but the Marquis of Granby kept by Mrs. Weller in "Pickwick Papers" Was an entirely mythical inn, We passed a great number of HIM, one of the log. tst being' in London on the .Old Kent Road, back to 1667. It was a haunt of Dr, Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, James Boswell and many other famous men. It has been badly battered in the raids on London, and its famous dish, beef- steak pudding, is out, probably for the duration. It was serving beverages when the Bomber ,Press was in Lon- don, • One of the first that we visited was "Skindel's Hotel" at Maidenhead, which is not a very old Inn but is quite famous, and was very popular before the war on account of its sup- F.
