Cannot Eliminate Love.

A periodical devoted to the drama
pleads for plays based on some enc

in producing such plays is that every
play must have hero, and in making
hero the playwright, as well as his
audience, almost inevitably adopts the
view expressed two thousand years
ago by scribe on one of the dead
walls of Pompeii: He who has never
loved woman is not gentleman

CONSERVATION POTASH MINES
President Urges Congress to Save
Deposits

Washington. March 2S.-President
Taft on Tuesday sent to Congress a
message urging the immediate en-
actment of a law to protect from pri-
vate entry and exploitation fields Of
potash such as recently were discov-
cred in southern California. The
president declared there was no law
full way at present for him to protect
these mines from entry, and suggest
ed that Congress would find the nee
essary protection in a bill introduced
by Senator Smoot on March II. 1911.
which was an amendment to the with
drawal act that governs entries on
public lands.
The president said that one OF the
most acute problems faced by agri-
cultural interests of this country was
that OF maintenance of soil fertility.
Potash is an element of the greatest
value in maintaining the fertility.
The adequate protection of the beds
already discovered and of those that
may be discovered hereafter, the pre-
sldent said. will inure TO the great
benefit of the agricultural industry OF
the United States and may reduce
the necessity of continuing the pres
ent extensive importation.
