ATTACKING an Ancient Evil From a Scientific Standpoint

n approaching the problem OF the
social evil. with its allied wrongs
and crimes. from a scientific
- standpoint John d. Rockefeller.
Jr., and his associates are applying the
principle that in no branch of human
endeavor can anything be accomplish
ed unless the underlying facts are
learned and mastered. With this end
in view they have established the ~
reau Of social hygiene. Their views and
aims are laid before the public in a cir
cular recently issued.
The promotion Of the social health Of
the world through the diminution to
the lowest possible dimensions Of the
terrible evil OF the fallen woInan is the
first objective Of the bureau of social
hygiene. There are no limits to h fu-
ture ~ramif1cations Of its work. 1t aims
to lay the AK at the trunk of all pre-
ventable evil when the root system is
disclosed by systematic delving. With
that end in view 1t will study h car
let sister not only as a malefactor. but
as the victim of economic and social
wrongs It's spirit is scientific and its
work will be thorough. As essential
products Of its work will come reports

woman. as we'll as everything and
everybody that batten on her misfor-
tune and her crime. The white SLAYER"

says:

evil. As the initial step in the winter Of

uous cropping. "soil robbing." through
out the centuries has taken the fertih-
ty out Of most of the soil of Palestine.
Besides. there is insufficient rainfall in
most places.
One of the most important results Of
the three years work of Mr.. Aaronsohn
in Palestine has been the discovery OF
wild wheat. Wheat rs 1t is grown in
the civilized countries OF the world is
not q hardy plant. 1t requires a soil
rich in plant food, with considerable
moisture. and in other ways the plant
that supplies US with most Of the staff
Of life" is not adapted to barren
tries. In thinking over the Develop
ment Of the wheat plant Mr.. Aaronsohn
figured that modern wheat must have
come from an original stock Of much
harder character. The problem. then.
was to find that hardy stock. With this
in mind he discovered what proved
later to be wild wheat.
He has been working with this plant
and hopes eventually to develop a
wheat that will grow and mature in To-
calities Of Palestine in which the soil
IL very poor and the rainfall Is lacking.
II this can be done II means that he
will have q variety of wheat adapted to
reproduction in all. or nearly all. Of
the arid and. semiarid portions OF the
United States and other countries.
In an interview recently MI. Aaron
sohn called American attention to the
fact that q number Of years ago the
University Of Arizona agricultural ex-
pertinent station decided to introduce
dato culture. as the climate Of Arizona
is more nearly like the climate where
dates grow naturally than 10 any other
part Of the United Statea
The university found no difficulty In
growing dates. but, SO far 40 the scien-
fists In charge of the matter could de-
termine, It was impossible to mature
them. Thousands Of dollars were spent
in fruitless Investigations and another
appropriation Of $4,000 had Just been
voted for the purpose of tackling again
the problem Of bringing the fruit to
maturity when Mr. Aaronsohn visited
the station. at Tucson. and the matter
al placed before him.
The whole matter was made clear at
once. He told the university investi-
gators how dates are matured in Ara

Tho dates are then ready for use. The
university tested the method and found
It good and was enabled to announce
that 1t could grow and mature dates
