and Of Little
Note
SENATOR MCLEAN
CAUSES SURPRISE
Feeling in Regard to Mexi-
can Situation Is Far
Less Optimistic

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE House met
briefly Saturday, but to little purpose.
The Senate was not in session. The
Senate banking and currency committee
factions did not come together, as had
been hoped, and it promises to be as late
as Tuesday before such meeting can
be contaminated and a report presented
to the Senate. 1t will be surprising il
the bill is ready for much discussion in
the Senate before the last week in Mo-
vcmber, when both houses of Congress
will surely adjourn for at least day
or two There is a growing sentiment
for adjournment of the extra session
soon. 1t probably will not prevail.
Senator Mclean of Connecticut Satur-
day surprised his Republican colleagues
of the currency committee by voting
for guarantee of deposits, and such
a provision went into the bill by his
vote.
President Wilson played golf for a
while Saturday, although the weather
was cold and drizzling rain fell. There
was much talk about Mexico around
the departments, but no positive infor-
nation was forthcoming. The high hopes
of peaceful settlement, which have
been so noticeable for the last few days,
were dashed somewhat by the latest dis
patches from Mexico. There have been
disclosures about Great Britain's sudden
show of interest weeks ago, as based
upon large plans to gain control of the
oil fields of Mexico to utilize them in
supplying her great fleet with fuel.
Senator Cummins of Iowa, who has
done much to keep the agitation for a
Republican national convention in 1914
alive, is out in statement deploring
the talk about presidential candidates
at this time. Mr.. Cummins has been
much discussed himself in that connec-
ton.
Flock to Meet Miss Wilson.
Pretty young women of the congress
sional set early Saturday locked to the
Congressional club at Washington to
greet Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, the
White House bride-elect., The reception
was followed by buffet luncheon. More
than 200 of the younger women of the
Senate and House circles were present.

About this time of the year, we go
over the fruit and vegetables in the
cellar and storage pits, sorting out
and discarding all that is badly de-
cayed, and putting the other where
conditions will be favorable to keep
ing it for future use. With apples
we make three assortments. One is
worthless. Another must have the
decayed portion cut out and what is
good of it canned or cooked for table
use. The rest which is in fair condi-
ton for keeping, is carefully wiped
clean and dry, wrapped in thin paper
and stored away in barrels or boxes
in some cool dry place, a layer of
thick paper being placed between
each layer of fruit. These should be
examined occasionally for a few
weeks, and any that are beginning to
rot throw away, to avoid their COM
ing in contact with and spelling the
other fruit.

crowding and there will be no tim.
for testing seeds then. 1t is not {
question, as some think, of getting 9
stand thick enough. although tested
seed may lead to this. But the great.
est value of tested seed lies in the
fact that when the farmer plants three
grains to the hill he can feel reason
ably sure there will be three grains
sprout. He can also feel reasonably
sure. ii the ground is in good condi-
tion and the season favorable, that
they will be strong sprouts.
If the corn is not tested the farmer
cannot tell the weak from the strong,
nor can he in all cases tell the ears
that will not sprout at all. When he
plants INFESTED corn there are some
hills with three good grains and very
likely some with none at all 1t tends
to produce nn uneven stand, which is
one OF the enemies of greatest pro.
duction
Probably the most satisfactory
method of thesting corn is to first Sc.
'ect few hundred representative
grains and terminate these. They
are placed in piepan with a thick
layer of cloth over and under them.
Another pan is inverted over this and
the cloth is kept moist but not wet
After five days the grains are exam
ined and If they practically all have
strong sprouts, no further testing is
necessary. This is very simple
nlan, and yet is effective in detecting
the presence of seed with low vital
:ty.
When the corn does not germinate
satisfactorily. the ears should be test
ed individually. The diag gram shows
the plan most commonly used. A
shallow box about 2 feet square is
provided with a layer of sawdust In
the bottom. Over this IL spread
cloth with Pinch squares marked of |
ON 1t. The ears are stacked Or laid
In rows 30 that they correspond to
the numbers Of the squares. Six
grains for ear number are placed |
In sGuare number I. etc. A cloth ia |
spread over the grains and another |
layer Of sawdust put on. The whole |
box y kept moist and placed By the |
stove 10 keep warm.
n about fve days the grains viii
have sprouted % that the bad and I
weak ears can b detected and dis.

up at the same time. Your
parents made your own social
chance, and Richards did the
same for him; but the situation is
changed. Yet, l understand that
the cost which most concerns you
is not measured in dollars and
cents, although that was what
first struck me.
l do not need to be told to
realize that Mrs. Fitzgerald, or
her double, is your bugaboo. You
know she always admired Rich
ard, that her husband leaves her
with time and money on her
hands-a bad thing all around;
that she is coquettish, not to say
flirtatious, and invited to the
places and festivities she is be-
cause upheld by her husbands
position. She is not wicked, ex-
actly, but she brings unrest to
every married woman within her
range and makes every engaged
girl fret. In your case, l should
not throw my husband in her
way, nor in the way of any such
person. Not that he is unprin-
cipled, but one should not play
with fire.
Why torment yourself cult

Is 1t Wrong to Dance?

Dear Miss Grey: i have
just finished reading a letter
by MIR. Davis and would
like to answer him through
you.
In regard to dancing--for
my part 1 can see no harm
i'm il, and on the other hand,
it does much good. The
dance teaches us grace and
poise, besides being excel
lent exercise, and many more
reasons L can give IL space
permitted.
Certainly, there are dances,
and dances 1 do not approve
of; take, for instance, the
public dance. It is impOssi-
BILE to know those with whom
you dance, and we will adj
init that two people who
are brought into close con-
tact like that with just an
introduction, will take adj
vantages more than If they
knew each other.
Then, too, you must con-
slider the way a dance is
danced. One can make the
common twO-step worse than
any "Bunny Hug" and the
"TurlSey Trot" as decent as q
waltz. The much slandered
"Texas Tommy" is hardly
more than a barn dance, so
there you are.
Not meaning Mr.. Davis
any Offense, but it Is just
those sort of people who
