The plant OF the dasheen has large,

The dasheen was first served in pub
lie several years ago. when 1t was in
troduced as feature in the menu OF
the annual banquet of the National
Geographic society, In Washington.
Since that time the government has
made many farmers acquainted with
the vegetable, and through the divis-
ion OF foreign seed and plant introduc-
ton OF the Department OF Agriculture
has distributed many seeds TO men
who wish to experiment. Remarkable
progress has been made with the ex'
periments, and the southern section
OF the United States has been found
to be generally adaptable for its cult
vation Speaking of the preparation
OF the dasheen for food, Robert A.
Young. OF the foreign seed and plant
introduction division. who has just
completed study of the oriental vege-
table, says:
The young tops, when properly
cooked. can be substituted for spinach
at time when the weather is too hot
TO grow spinach. The banched shoots
obtained by forcing dasheen corms in
the dark in a greenhouse or under oth-
er suitable conditions constitute an Ell
tirely new product, which is meeting
with general approval. The nutty fla
vor of the tubers gives them a pecu-
liar palatability which has struck the
fancy OF large number OF persons.
The higher heterogeneous and starchy
character gives them an advantage as
food that would seem to make the
plant. when compared with the pota-
TO, an even more valuable food pro-

r. p. Ripley, president OF the Santa
Fee Railroad Co, is another eminent
patriot who is highly incensed by
the promise of the Wilson admins
tration TO investigate wage reduc-
tons in protected industries which
are ascribed to tariff reductions.
The Investigation OF wages Is not
the governments business" says Mr..
Ripley, The question OF the rela-
ton of the employer to the employee
is one that must be settled among
themselves"
We assume that Mr. Ripley excerpts
all those cases in which the railroads
are concerned. either in the matter
OF raising rates or in preventing
strike. Then the investigation OF
wages is decidedly the governments
business, and nobody is more insis-
tent on that point than the railroads.
In the midst OF all the clamor that
has been raised by protected indus
try and its allies over the Underwood
and Redfield statements, there Is one
significant fact that deserves atten.
ton. No more threats are made of
wage reductions In case the Under
wood bill becomes a law. The chair.
man OF the ways and means commit.
tee is assailed. the secretary OF com.
merce Is assailed. the president Is as
sailed, the government Is pictured as
ruthless despotism about to invade
the sanctity Of private business, but
the misunderstanding about wages
has ceased.
The gentlemen who were all going
out OF business II the government re.
fused longer to support them In the
luxury 10 which they have been &C
customed are no longer trying to
bulldoze the senate by threatening to
compel their employees to make good
the subsidy that they now extort
from the public as whole. Their
bluff has been called. Even the men,
bers Of the National Association OF
Manufacturers seem to think that
there may be some hope for the ma
ton, provided all citizens who be-
lieve In God. In flag and In country"
rally against the Industrial Workers
of the World.
Had Mr. Taft four years ago taken
up the policy that Mr. Wilson has
adopted. and refused to be buldozed
by protected Industries and protected
politicians. he might still be presi-

OF PERSIAN industry in this
LAMBS country. He has
imported from Per-
STA and Russia for breeding purposes
a number of the finest specimens Of
the famous Karakul sheep which
money can buy, and 1t is the lambs
of this breed which furnish the beau
iiu Persian lamb and broadtail SKINS
which are SO highly priced for the
making of women's coats and furs.
Many hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars worth OF Persian lamb skins and
he broadtail Persian are imported to
supply the fur trade In this country
each year, and the experiments wnlch
have been conducted by DR.. Young IN
cooperation with breeding experts OF
the government seem 10 indicate ,hat
II may be possible to establish pos
porous Persian lamb industry In the
United States.
The present home OF the Karakul
sheep is in Persia. southern Russia,
Asia Minor. northern Africa. Turke-
stan and China. The last Importation
OF sheep brought TO this country by
Or. Young were purchased at the AN
nual sheep show held at Moscow, Rus
STA.
An American woman today pays
$3.50 to $3.50 for long Persian lamb
coat. and $500 or 81 900 and upward
usually upward-for a broadtail coat
OF good quality. The introduction OF
the Persian lamb industry In this
country might promise reduction In

that In the raising of Persian lambs
American farmers can make good

boy went on eating his breakfast and
said not a word till he was through.
Then. as he got up from the table. he
remarked You better keep you:

AS this statement happened to be
bullying with truth, 1t was greatly en-
joyed by all those present, except the
person to whom 1t was addressed. He
has not kidded anybody since
Genevieve. aged four, has a papa
who possesses a grea deal OF money,

cred that she has to be some coaxer
before she can disentangle her father
from a nickel for an ice-cream soda

The Sunday school which Genevieve
and her sister Marion attend was
raising a fund for some good work,
and the superintendent offered a prize
to the pupil who collected the largest
sum. Genevieve, with family and
friends grouped about her on Sun

Henry for contribution.

Henry. I'll give you s. II your father

Genevieve looked up into her uncle

Ready-made jobs are going out OF

OF your mental processes with espe-

they started TO make their investiga-
tons the investigators first examined
number OF people already working
at Jobs that called for more or less
mental effort. Every job does that

discoveries that were made were
startling For instance, the investiga-
ton OF the capacity OF the motormen
OF certain street railway system
by Prof Hugo Munsterberg, OF Har-
ward university, resulted in the find
ing that fully % per cent OF the men
examined were incapable OF doing the
work assigned to them and would
have been rejected had tests been ap-
piled when they took the job.
