HEAVY SHOWS TO
BRING Big CROPS
Soil In Fine Shape as Result
Of White Blankets.

Washington.-For number of years
the country at large has not enjoyed
such general SHOWS as whitened the
countryside during February and
March of the present year Also it
has been the occasional catastrophe
that one great heavy snow has fallen
late in the season to be followed by a
quick thaw and consequent floods.
Now the soil sharps, seeing that condi-
tions are more nearly ideal this sea-
son than for a number of springs, are
encouraged to believe that 1914 is des-
tined to be year of bumper crops.
DR.. j. A. Bonesteel of the bureau
of soils is quoted:
"Since the snow blanket took its
time in departing we will have bet
ter crop start this year than for sew
eral years. To date conditions could
be hardly more ideal. We had snow
after snow-not too heavy, but per-
sistent enough to keep the ground COW
cred well and the tender shoots of the
wheat In perfect condition.
This is particularly true OF the east
ern states generally, but at the same
time conditions are far better in the
middle west than is the general aver
age.
"In the corn belt, where there was
considerable depletion of the crop
through too persistent drought last
season, the snow will prove of incal-
culable benefit. The corn belt ought
to have a splendid start.
"Where snow remained a long time
and there has been extensive oppor-
tunity for it to seep down into the
earth, carrying its moisture from one
to two feet. the soil Is prepared to de-
velop sturdy roots for the cereal crops
The plants therefore stand a better
chance against possible deficiencies In
the matter of rainfall during the period
of their growth"

of Is something sweet, cuddling and
adorable" said Mrs. Richardson. They
know nothing whatever of the mechan-
ism of the little body, how 1t should
be fed, nor how 1t should be clothed.
"This is not only true of the mother
Of the slums, but of that great army Of
mothers that belong to the middle class,
who would give their very lives for
their babies when they realize they
are the victims of ignorance.
'AThe great mistake OF the baby saw
ing campaigns In the larger cities is
that they have been conducted for the
poor mother To interest the mother
In the all around development of the
child is one way to stem wastefulness
idleness and degeneracy."
Mrs. Richardson, who Is chairman of
the hygiene committee of the National
Congress of Mothers, also said she did
not think it possible for public school
teachers to give instruction properly In
sex hygiene.
Plans were outlined whereby Ii Is
hoped to save at least 100000 babies
under the age of two years during the
coming year through the cooperation
Of all the branches Of the Congress of
Mothers. This will take the form of
better baby contests, under the aus
pices Of the organization, and the dis
tribution OF pamphlets and bulletins.

REPRESENTATIVE BURNETT.

Capacity to earn living Is thus re-
moved as possible excuse for the ad-
mission of mentally undesirable
A decided amplification of the scope
and exhaustiveness of the psychiatric
and psychopathic examination of in
coming aliens is provided in section 16
of the bill After setting forth the char
acter of the training which the exam
lining medical officers shall possess
with view to insuring thoroughness
In the examination. as in the Burnett
bill, the senate committee has inserted
this provision:
"All aliens arriving at ports of the
United States shall be examined by
two such medical officers" which in
creases the insurance of thoroughness.
Under the Burnett bill this medical
examination was provided for all
large ports of entry" The senate
committee has stricken out the qualify
ing large" The examination must be
made wherever aliens may enter
The senate committee while endeav-
oring to make the law more certain In
its provision for exclusion Of the unde-
sirable has shown a humanitarian dis
position along some other lines. 1t is
provided that immigrants found to be
suffering from tuberculosis in any
form or any other loathsome or dan
gerous contagious disease other than
that OF quarantinable nature must be
at once deported, but the following
leeway Is given to the secretary Of la.
Dor:
Unless the secretary of labor is sat
isfied that the existence of the disease
could not have been detected by com.
petent medical examination at the time
of foreign debarkation and that to re-
fuse treatment would be inhuman or
cause unusual hardship"
This proviso admits the alien to hos.
pital treatment.

MIDSHIPMEN WILL
TAKE UP DEBATING
Daniels Suggestion to Be Car
ried Out by Captain FuIIam.

Annapolis, Md.-Captain William f..
Fullam, superintendent of the Naval
academy, has taken up the suggestion
of the secretary of the navy that the
midshipmen of the first class engage in
debates on current subjects to improve
their acquaintance with the news of
the day and to increase their ability to
think and talk on their feet He has
had several consultations with mem
bers of the department Of English and
other instructors and officers and will
endeavor to fit something along this
line into the already rather crowded
curriculum of the first class.
The need for special training of the
midshipmen along the lines OF writing
and speaking on the topics Of the day
has been recognized, and much has
been done to further It, The practice
Of having the first class men respond
to toasts was started more than year
ago by Captain Gibbons, then superin-
tendent. and is carried on with much
success. A period of an hour and a
half or two hours is devoted to this
every week, one midshipman acting as
toastmaster, others responding to set
toasts or making extemporaneous re-
marks on each occasion. In this way
each member Of the graduating class
has the opportunity of speaking sew.
eral times during the year. Members
of the English department are always
present as critics.

THESE CHICKENS ARE VAMPS.
Survived a Fire and WouIdn't Leave
Shells Till Bell Rang.

Tarrytown, N. Y.-Fire destroyed the
North Tarrytown fire house. Water
played on the blaze flooded the house
of Charles Minnerly next door, and a
box with a sitting hen and fifteen eggs
fioated around the cellar. The hen,
however. stuck to the post while the
flames cracked around her.
When the eggs were due TO hatch no
chicks appeared. Minnerly spoke to
some of his friends. and they told him
they were fire chickens and If he want
ed to hatch them he would have to
sound an alarm of the bell.
Then Minnerly went to the coop
and rang an old dinner bell for fifteen
minutes. To his surprise the eggs be-
gan to open, and In less than an hour
every one of them hatched.
The chicks would not stay with the
mother as long as Minnerly rang the
bell He solved the problem by tying
a small bell around the mothers neck
