MISS TAFT WILL
MAKE DEBUT
Young Lady Is Years of
Age Will Be Formal
ly Introduced.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 30.-To-
morrow will be a great day in the
life of Miss Helen Taft. Tomorrow
afternoon Mrs. Taft will give large
tea at the White House, when her
daughter will be presented to society
While Miss Taft needs no formal in
PRODUCTION to the majority of her
parents friends. official or personal,
tomorrow afternoon will mark her
first formal appearance in any large
company.
Miss Taft, at eighteen, will be the
most notable debutante of the Wash
ington season, and the youngest
White House society girl ever known
with the exception of Miss Ethel
Roosevelt, who was formally pre-
sented to society when she was but
seventeen.
Miss Taft is a splendid type of the
American girl. She is extremely
pretty, with great masses of brown
hair and large blue eyes, clean-cut
features with slightly tip-tilted
nose and up-turned mouth. She is
free of affectation-a perfectly ma
tural girl. Last season she appeared
occasionally at informal functions.
but was never present at state func-
tions until the dinner given by the
President to a Japanese prince and
his suite shortly before the Taft
family left for Beverly last summer.
Mrs. Taft was unable to preside as
hostess, and SO the daughter of the
house filled the role with grace and
ease.
While she does not go in for ath-
letlcs to as great an extent
as the Roosevelt girls Miss
Taft IS fond of outdoor sports. Ten

INDUCES in golf, and is an accomp-

In addition to having completed her
sophomore year at Bryn Mawr in
June with high honors, the Presi-
dents young daughter has enjoyed
exceptional advantages of travel in
Europe and other parts of the world
In fact, it is to be doubted if there is
another young woman Of her age in
the entire country who has Travelled
more extensively over the world.

with the PHILIPPINES during her
fathers residence in the islands and
accompanied him on one of his
globe irdling tours, visiting Japan.

Europe. Her travels over the United

NATURAL BEAUTY

A recent decision of a Colorado
court ought TO have a far-reaching
influence for. the protection of scenic
beauties from DETACHMENT, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, if it shall become a
precedent in other states.
Cascade is a summer resort near
the base of the north slope of Pixies
Peak. AS its name indicates, water
falls form large part of it's attract
iyeness. Recently a water power
company diverted the stream which
forms the cascades to run power
station. The court has issued a per-
manent injunction against this di-
version on the ground that in Gre
ating scenic beauty the water is al
ready being put to beneficial use

What would have happened if we
had had such a law in this state
when Niagara was tapped for cleo
trio power? Will the recognition of
the commercial value of scenic beau
ty go far enough to induce courts to
prevent or to punish it's destruction
for purposes Of advertisement? If
you cannot destroy natural beauty
to turn it into power, why should you
be permitted to destroy it for the
purpose Of advertisement? The COM
mon sense of the Los Angeles court,
which held that a billboard was a
public nuisance because it was an
eyesore, is slowly travelling east
ward. Perhaps it will reach New
York by another decade.

DRY FARMING AND THE COLUM-
BIA RIVER BASIN.

In a special report on Dry Farm
ing in Relation to Rainfall and Evap-
oration," written by Lyman J. Briggs
and issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, it is shown
that the Columbia river basin is re-
markable for the success of dry
farming, though the annual rainfall
is little There is probably no other
region in the United States where
such farming is successfully con-
Quoted with so low a rainfall tIr.
Briggs observes. One of the reasons
is that evaporation is less in the Col
umbia basin than in other dry farm
ing regions. The rains come in the
winter season and the basaltic soil
absorbs the fall readily. Torrential
rains are rare, so much of the water
tndL IdllS Is dDSOTDSuI i o SuCn con-
ditions the system of alternate crop-
ping and following is especially
adapted. Wheat IL successfully
grown in the Columbia basin with
an annual rainfall as low as S }
inches, though Mr.. Briggs says 10
inches is about the minimum For snc-
cessful wheat production. The re-
port warns farmers that they can not
safely depend upon the record of to-
tai annual rainfall. The time of the
year it falls is an important factor
as is also the character Of the rain.
How much is evaporated and does
the rain fall in torrents and run
away without being absorbed? TIA

MAY RSPOUSE MONROElSM
Diplomats Expect Some Such Action
at Buenos Ayres.

Washington diplomats held widely diff
ferent opinions yesterday about the cable
from Buenos Ayres predicting the adop-
ton of resolution by the South Ameri-
can Congress. now in convention, extend
ing and upholding the Monroe doctrine.
The general opinion was that the pro-
gramme drawn up In Washington by the
Bureau of American Republics, declar-
ing for the Americas for Americans only
and excluding foreign powers, will be
adopted.
If 1t should be, it is believed that no
foreign power could afford to interfere
openly. It is expected European gov
ernments will have little influence at the
congress. and if the governments repre-
scented at Buenos Ayres decide to adopt
Monroeism officially by the necessary
two-thirds vote, no amount of under
ground politics can prevent 1t.
The strong anti-United States senti-
ment that has been fostered by foreign
agents and carefully stimulated by hos
tile rulers in South America is the great
est obstacle in the way of the adoption
of the Monroe resolution, 1t is believed
here.
No Instructions have been given the
United States delegates as to how they
shall vote. The United States viii prob
ably act with the majority Of the other
governments interested. Delegate White
has as yet asked for no instructions in
the matter from the State Department.
Huntington Wilson, acting Secretary of
State, said yesterday that a conference
with Secretary Knox would probably be
necessary IN case the delegation does ask
for instructions.

Guards Ordered Aboard Yes,
sells at Bluefelds.

The State Department has taken the
attitude that the Madriz gunboat Venus
will not be permitted TO interfere with
the shipment of American property into
the port Of Bluefelds even when the
property is on board foreign vessels
This is the decision reached as result
of the protest of business firms IN New
Orleans against the action of the Nor
wegian government in recognizing the
blockade established by the Madriz fac
ton. The New Orleans business inter-
ests and the Norwegian government Will
be informed Of the action of the United
States. Under this arrangement Com
mander Harold X Hines. of the gunboat
Dubuque, will probably convoy foreign
vessels carrying American goods into
port in order to prevent the Madriz gun
boat Venus from interfering with them.

the view that the blockade established nv
the Madriz faction was not effective. and
therefore illegal, in the view of interna-
tional law. According to advices re-
ceived at the State Department. 5oth
Madriz gunboats, the Venus and the San

OF navigating the air began this morn
ing at the Naval Academy before the
board OF officers composed of Lieut. Com
mander Frank Lyon and Lieuts. Charles

While Mr.. Ames still declines to give
out any more information than he can
help. the machine has been exposed to
the public most OF the day. as It stands
on the bow OF the Bagley, moored at
her wharf. Much Interest is being taken
in the canvas cylinders, extending later
ally from the operators platform, and
canvas tips, extending as tangents from
the surface of the cylinders.
1t became known to-day that the prin-
ciple which is applied practically to the
machine Is that OF a curved ball. The
revolutions OF the cylinders are expected
TO create vacuum and draw the ma
chine upward as q ball curves In the
direction of its revolution.
