BERLIN, oct. 21.-CVia Amster-
dam)-The entire civil population is
in full fight from Warsaw because
of the approach of the German army
and an attack on that city is immi-
nent, according 10 reports from the
eastern front received here today.
The Russian announcement that the
Austro-German forces have been
routed along the Vistula is officially
denied at the war office.
The flight of civilians from War
saw is said TO have been advised by
the Russian government, which has
promised To care for the refugees in
st. Petersburg and other cities. This
action is declared here to indicate
that the Russian general staff has
practically no hope that Warsaw will
be able To hold out against the Ger
man siege guns.

The agricultural pursuits of Ger
many. which last year raised one
seventh of the wheat grown in Eu-
rope. Will be fostered by the govern

country is at war. Steps TO this end

the Prussian diet which begins on
Thursday. Measures providing for
the granting of credits to agricultural
associations for buying motor plows
in order that the tilling of the grain
fields may not be neglected and for
the construction of pOtatoes-drying
plants will be introduced. These
measures have been drafted by Min
lister Of Agriculture Won Schorlemer.

Women can not practise law in the
courts of England This doctrine was
recently affirmed by the court of ap-
peal, which decided against Miss G.
M. Bebb in a suit which she had
brought against the Law society and
in which she claimed the right to
practise as solicitor. The master Of
the rolls said that 300 years ago Lord
Coke had expressed the view that
women could not be attorneys, and SO
far as this case was concerned, the
master of the rolls said he decided
IL on the ground that at the date Of
the passage of the solicitors act in
1S43, there was a disability on the
part of women to be attorneys. The
act had not destroyed the pre-exist-
ing disability. He disclaimed any
right to legislate in the matter. No
doubt many women, and in particular
the present applicant, were in edu-
cation, intelligence and competency SD
perior to many candidates who would
come up for examination But with
that the court had nothing to do. The
lord justices concurred and the ap-
peal was dismissed

The dispute over a cargo of con-
served, dried fruits from Canada,
which the French sanitary authori-
ties condemned on the ground that
the fruits contained boracic acid, has
led to an authoritative statement be-
ing issued by DR.. Roux, director OF
the Pasteur institute, to the effect
that all fruit contains small quanti-
ties Of boracic acid, boracic being pro-
duced naturally by all living cells.
Messieurs Bertrand and Aguilhon,
whose work on this subject was
cited by DR.. Roux, discovered a
new method of quantitative analysis
enabling the chemist to distinguish
between the presence of pre-existent
and artificial boracic introduced for
preservative purposes. The Bertrand
Aguilhon table of pre-existent boracic
fixes at 112 milligrams per kilogram
the normal amount of boracic acid in
dried apricots and cherries, Sc milli-
grams In wood strawberries, 28 milli-
grams in English pears and 228 milli-
grams In black grapes. Almost all
vegetables, notably carrots, beans,
turnips. onions and cucumbers, con-
tain from Sc to 1873 milligrams of bor-
acic per kilogram.

INTERESTING srA1lsrlcs

Among the information that may be
classed as interesting, but not i'm
portant, are some statistical deduc-
tions produced by an actuary in New
York from the figures of 43 insur-
ance companies. These are that sim
gle women live longer than married
women, that women who hold endow-
ment policies live longer than those
holding straight life policies, that
business women live longer than mar
ried men. Asked for a theory. the
discoverer admitted that he had no
explanation to offer, except that, per-
haps, women holding an endowment
policy grimly resolve to hold on to
life until they get 1t. whereas the
women holding straight life policies
simply folded their hands and ex-
claimed, "Oh, what's the use?" This
theory may be as good as any, IL any
were any good. On the same reason
ing that definite aim in life tends
to prolong 1t the spinsters, 1t is pre-
sumed, live longer because they are
set on getting married, while the mar
ried woman, having attained the goal
Of matrimony, has no further ambi-
tion. The principle, however, cannot
be applied to the greater longevity of
the business woman than the mar.
ried man, but why should they have
been compared at all? The fact Is
that, like good many other statis-
tics. these do not prove anything
whatever They lead nowhere. These
results simply happened from tabu-
lation Of a certain class at certain
time. There is nothing to indicate
that they represent general tenden-
cies, or that even in this class the
same results will always be reflected

SLOW PROGRESS.

Ours Is an age which prides itself
on rapid progress. Wherefore, by
measuring the time 1t takes a radical
departure to become established In
this modern era, one may get some
notion of the slow pace of invention
and discovery In more conservative
periods Aluminium is a metal so
abundant that every claybank is a
mine of it. 1t does not rust, as iron
and steel do; 1t is very light in pro-
portion to its strength. 1t has so
many good qualities that the predic-
tion used to be made that aluminium
was sure to supplant iron, even as
iron had taken the place Of bronze.
But it hasn't done so. Aluminium
was first isolated in 1928. Improve
ments In its manufacture were made
in 1855, and since about 1890 the pro-
duction Of this new metal on large
scale has been pretty well standard
lied. 1t has been applied to many
uses, but it hasn't made dent in the
supremacy of iron and steel. II four
score years of knowledge and quar-
ter of century of specialized indus
trial effort under modern conditions
have had SO little effect in substitu-
ting aluminium for iron, how long do
you suppose it took our respected an
cestors to make up their minds that
copper was better material for break
ing heads than was Clipped flint?

Hundred-story buildings are not
only possible. but probable. according
to statement by Henry w. Hodge,
consulting engineer, in the Engineer
ing Record, in which he forecasts the
future of steel construction. 1t is
pointed out that recent advances in
design have called for great improve
ment in the quality of building mate
rails. The modern trend is from plain
steel to its alloys nickel, vanadium
and other metals-which have been
found to increase strength in greater
proportion than cost.
