BUSINESS OUTLOOK
DISTINCTLY BETTER
Crop News Continues Encour.
aging and the Steel Market
Improves.

New York, June '21.-.Bradstreet says:
Irregularity and relative quiet are
still the ruling features In trade and in
dustry, but evidences Of Improvement
in western distribution are rather
sharply in contrast with the reports OF
slow trade recently received. Warmer
weather Is the key to the better crop
and trade reports received this week
from the west, northwest and south
west, while cool, moist conditions along
the Atlantic coast, now disappearing,
have been a bar TO trade and crop de-
velopments in the east. Relatively
best reports come from western cities
and towns, while country trade, though
better, is slower to respond, owing to
farmers being busy IN work delayed.
R. G. Dunn says:
g Crop news continue encouraging, the
iron and steel market improves, while
foreign trade now shows an excess Of
export. and in these three important
particulars the business outlook Is dis
tinotly better. 600 a"~ "n~ .'"~ 1870 z

DRUNK; I.D0N'T CARE!
Telephone my wife
Declared Illegal for Cop to Take
/. You Home IF
"Soused."

Chicago. ILL.,. June 2O.--It's all right
fellows. you can telephone to your wife
that business will detain me late to-
night" and then get a happy "souse"
without fear of being taken home in q
wheelbarrow by a policeman.
It's a good tip, because Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Howard Hayes. who
himself is married, yesterday gave q
written opinion to that effect. In SO
many words Mr.. Hayes told the, city
council judiciary committee that any
policeman who dared take a man home
when he Is picked" would 90 so at
his own peril.
In giving his opinion Mr., Hayes over
rhles the theory of Judge Mckenzie
Cleland, sponsor Of an ordinance pend
ing before the committee, which pro-
vides that all DRINKS" be taken home
instead Of to police stations.
His idea, 1t seems, is that when a
married man Is "soused' 1t is a much
greater punishment to wheel him home
In a w~heelbarrow, OF something like
that, than 1t is to call the patrol wagon
and cart him to a cell. Pretty nearly
anyone, the judge figures, can square
an arrest for disturbing the peace
but hardly anyone can square 1t with
his wife If a staiwart copper" drags
him to his front door,. a.

Taken suddenly i'll after a hurried

FLOWERS MADE TO
BLOOM IN DARK
Sunlight Not Necessary to Per-
feet Blossom, Declares Emf
nent Woman Biologist

After two years of experimenting
section of the country. DR.. Marian
Mackenzie of the department of BIZ
ology at Temple university, Philadel-
phia, has established the fact that
every kind will blossom as quickly and
as beautifully in the darkness as in the
light.
The experiments were conducted in
the greenhouses of the botanical gar
den at the University of Pennsylvania
and extended over two years, says the
Baltimore News. The towering plants
were studied comparatively under con-
ditions of high and low temperature,
in the darkness and in the sunlight.
Among the varieties that lowered in
the darkness were the violet, all vari-
eties of the maple and poplar trees,
the wild azalea, sassafras, the jack in
the pulpit and the skunk cabbage. The
observation that darkness does not re-
tard the blossoming was SO generally
true that Doctor Mackenzie thinks it
justifable to state as result of her
experimental work thataal flowers of
our climate bloom under these remark
ably unnatural conditions.
1t was a matter of some surprise to
Doctor Mackenzie that the skunk cab
bage. thought by even the most ad-
miring naturalists to be worthless
perennial plant, burst forth into rich
bloom when brought indoors. The
flowers, too, noted the experimenter.
are more gorgeous than those of many
plants that housewives of today are
harboring in their homes.
'It would really gladden. ones
heart" said Doctor Mackenzie, ito
watch the skunk cabbage when it
blooms after being taken into the
house. The flowers are delicious
