BANANAS BREATHE,
LATEST FROM THE
REALM Of SCIENCE
Also Watermelons and Ber-
ries-Uncle Sans Expert
Vouches For 1t.

Bananas are deep and rapid breathers.
So are bIackberries, raspberries. straw
berries, and huCkIeberries.
They don't breath, you say. Yes, they
do. Bet you.
Prof. II. c. Gore, assistant chief
chemist at the Bureau of Foods Of the
Department of Agriculture, can prove
it, All fruits breath. He says they do.
Prof. Gore has recently been conducting
experiments into the respiratory activ-
ity of the various fruits used as food.
He found that they not only had re-
spiratory powers, but that they ac-
cumulated and gave iff heat in respira-
ton lust as human beings and all ami
mails do. Bananas give off so much
heat that it is hard to determine their
rate of respiration.
When YOU go into the market next
tim and smell bananas or watermelon
call them down; they are blowing
their breath in your face. That's what
it amounts to, according to Prof. Gore.
If these fruits didn't breath, they
wouldn't ripen.
ripening is held down with the temper
ature. That's why they keep when
you put 'em in the iceboH. Simple,
isn't it?
Fruits and berries that develop rapid
ly breath rapidly. Citrus fruits and all
those that develop slowly nave a low
rate of respiration.

FAMOUS CLAN OF
SHAWS MEET TODAY
AFTER MANY YEARS
Three Brothers And One
Sister Gather At Latter's
Pennsylvania Home.

Four Shaws-Capt. John Shaw, Of
Washington; DR.. Anna Shaw the
noted suffragist; DR.. James Shaw, of
Boston, and Thomas Shaw. of Michi-
gan-saw each other for the first
time in many years at DR.. Anna
Shaw's country home at Moylan, Pa,
today.
With the exception Of a brief re-
union at the golden wedding of their
parents the three brothers and the sis
ter had not been together since the
father of the family and his three stall
wart sons marched away to the war In
1851
Since that time they have been far
separated, and each has won success.
All of the Shaw family were born in
England-at Newcastle-on-Tyne. They
came of family reaching far back into
history, and there Is a picture on their
coat of arms of Castle Loch-an- Eilan,
Ariemore. where their forefsthers,
doughty fighters, strong and true, lived
and kept the faith.
Came Here In AZ.
Their father was Thomas Shaw, and
their mother NichOla Scott Shaw. They
emigrated to America when DR.. Anna
Shaw, born in 1s47, was but four years
old.
Landing on the Atlantic coast they
drifted to the westward, and when the
civil war came 1t found them in Michi-
gan. Their fourteen years OF residence
in the United States was sufficient to
endow them with love of this country
and the father, who had practiced medi-
cine, enlisted as surgeon of the Tenth
Michigan Cavalry. and the young men,
James. John, and Thomas, fought
through the war with the Sixth Michi-
gan Cavalry.
After the war the spirit Of the Shaws
showed itself. Four years of fighting
had kept them away from money max
ing. and even before the war their
means had not permitted Them in their
pioneer life to be college trained. But
James. the eldest. managed to get a
medical training. and has become one
of the most prominent physicians in
Boston. John. next in age. has won a
fine position with the Government: and
Thomas. the Youngest though he Joined
the regular army and was STAFF bugler
in General Clusters campaigns on the
froatier and spent many years in the
West, afterward settled in Michigan
and became Dossessor OF a great farm.
DR.. Anna Shaw's career is even more
brilliant. and she is regarded as one OF
the leading American TCInen.
1t was not for many years after the
reparation by the war that there was
a convention Of tho Shaw family.
Twenty wears after Appomattox Mr..
and Mrs. Shaw celebrated their golden
v edding anniversary. and their children
gathered for the occasion. Since then
they have been scattered.
Thomas Shaw came to Washington
several days ago to see Captain John,
and they went together 10 Moylan to
meet Or. James and DR.. Anna Shaw.
Afterward the brothers will go or TO
Boston.
Cant. Thomas Shaw lives at 1924 Sixth
street northwest. in Washington. He
came here about twenty years ago.

The full significance of this has not

Paul Beattie is willing to tell all he

the defense will unload on him as far
as possible.
P$ul has already given damaging ev-

injunction to keep silent about 1t, and
the midnight telephone call on the

TARIFF SITUATION
JUMBLED,, FATE OF
.. BILLS IS IN DOUBT
Conferees Deadlocked Over
Wool, And Leaders Hint
Measure May Not Pass.
UNDERWOOD AND
LA TOILETTE DIFFER
Neither Will Make Concessions,
And Session May Be
Prolonged.

A chaotic situation with respect to
tariff, with the utmost uncertainty as
TO time of adjournment, prevails in both
houses of Congress.
Possibilities of a failure to agree on
a wool bill have developed in the con-
ference committee. AS the situation
stands today, the outlook is not as
pronounced for the enactment of wool
revision measure as it was last week.
Senator La Toilette and Representa-
tive Underwood, who have charge of
this bill, have not yet agreed. La Fol-
lette is insisting that the Senate bill,
which fixes raw wool duties at So per
cent, be passed. He holds that such
bill would be signed by the President,
who has denounced the existing wool
tariff. Underwood is fighting for the
House bill.
No Compromise.
The spirit of compromise and con-
ciliation is not manifesting itself much
now. The situation is such that some
of the Democrats predicted today that
there would be no wool bill. The
chances for a free list bill are better
than for a wool bill.
Representative UnderwOOdS firmncSS
In nOlulng out Tor the House wool bill
has led to talk among the Senate
tariff revisionists that he does not want
any wool bill passed now. 1t is we'll
known that his preference personally
is to have the wool bin remain in con-
ference until next winter. anG then
shape it in the light of the tariff board
report
He is being charged with trying to
bring about this situation in confer
ence, despite the strong feeling IN the
HnnIEa hi -
passed, and he is being criticised in
This connection for doing the very thing
that would best please President Taft.
Some pretty vigorous talk is being in
prompt revision that Representative
Underwood is playing Tatts game"
What La Toilette Wants.
Senator La Toilette wants the wool
bill put up to the President first He
holds that the President would have lit
tie reason for vetOing this; less than he
would have to veto the free list bill.
On the other hand, Leader Underwood
wants the free list bill passed first.
In this situation, with the outcome on
the WOOL and free list bills uncertain,
and with much uncertainty about the
cotton bill in the Senate and the steel
revision in the House, few are willing
TO predict the outcome
Senate regular leaders predicted today
an agreement on the wool bill in spite
of the wide differences between Under
wood and La Toilette.
The Senate Finance Committee prob
ably will meet tomorrow to begin hear
ings on the cotton bill. Senator Sim
mons has arranged for representatives
of the North Carolina manufacturers to
be here at that time. Stuart Cramer,
secretary of the association, has asked
to be heard and he will bring others
with him.
Senator Penrose announced this after
room that a meeting of the Committee
on Finance would be held at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning for the purpose of
hearing persons interested in cotton
manufacture and in the revision of the
cotton schedule.
