along 10th street at 9:30 +. NJ, to the
drug store at the corner, to get a choc-

she implored, as he darted around a
passerby with his leading string.

difficulty in untangling herself and

soda fountain. Narrowly missing the
surface cars and winding around the
subway kiosk, Bobby suddenly caught
a glimpse Of his goal. the drug store.

to prevent his plunging through the
window.
His mistress managed to bring him
up bodily before the cashiers desk by
lifting him In her arms; and here, with
the little beast wrlggIing and kicking,
she purchased a 10 cen soda check

a spoonful Of the nectar and am

when the sweets were held to him

CROPS NOT AFFECTED BY

Scientists are now convinced

ponds upon the amount of food
in the soil and in the air that is
available for them and upon
temperature, light, and moisture.
The moon obviously does not af-
feet the character Of the soil in
any way, neither does it affect
the composition of the atmos.
phere. The only remaining way
in which it could influence plant
growth, therefore, is by it's light.
Recent experiments, however,
show that full daylight is about
100000 times brighter than full
moonlight, yet when a plant gets
1-1OOth part Of normal daylight
it thrives little better than inab-
solute darkness. If 1-100th part
of normal daylight is thus TOO lit

quite certain that 60O,0O0th
part can not have any effect at
all 1t is therefore a mere waste
of time to think about the moon
in connection with the planting
of crops. The moon. say the
scientists, has nothing more to do
with this than it has to do with

things over which it
