INCREASE IN WG0R
MADE BY CROSSING
After First Generation There Is
Decrease in Yielding Power
of Hybrid Strains.

It has been the common belief OF
feeders that a first cross between two
pure breeds produces an animal that
makes more rapid gains and natures
earlier than would an animal OF either
of the pure breeds that entered into
the cross. The blue-gray steer (Short-
horn Galloway cross) has been famous
as Q feeder for many years. Like

worth, or Duroc- Berkshire first crosses
to pure bred stock of any OF these
breeds. There is an increase Of vigor
in the first generation cross.
It has also been known for many
years that first generation crosses
among plants that have been bred
pure for some time will give an in
crease Of yield over their parent
stock.
Later experiments have brought out
a point that the earlier experiment
ers failed to fully appreciate-that
the increase in vigor from crossing
is only temporary. After the first
generation there Is decrease in the

FOR SCHEDULE SPEED
RAIL AUTHORITY OPPOSES
"SPURTS" ON THE LINES.
Is Satisfied That Continuous Running
on Time Explicitly Arranged for
js What Is the Desire Of the
Travelling Public.

Should a maximum speed limit be
fixed for all railroad trains, and what
does the public desire most in the way
Of operating, great spurts Of flyers"
or sustained speed that usually spells
"On time? The constant aim Of the
rail officers is continuous runs and ad-
herence to schedule rather than 90
mile dashes.
At times, officers of railroads have
issued orders prohibiting an engineer
from attempting to make up time. that
once he got behind he was merely to
maintain his speed and keep from los
ing more time. This rule has been
pronounced by many railroad men to
be without particular reason, because
one train might have sufficient leeway
on it's schedule to make up an hour or
two lost time without great speed.
while another train highly keyed would
be in no position to make up any loss
except by running at very high speed.
Speaking on this question, A. M.
Schoyer. an authority on rail opera
ton, said:
THE thing that counts most in the
operation Of trains is continuous run
ming and not very fast speed at one
point and very slow speed at another.
There is something wrong with the op-
Grafton when passenger trains are sub
ject to frequent delays, slowing up be-
hind other trains, crawling In and out
Of terminals and In many ways eating
up schedule time. Aside from snow
and other weather conditions. large
per cent of these petty delays are un-
necessary, and are due to lack Of
proper discipline or inferior facilities
or perhaps lack Of team work all
around.
III q train can be started from one
terminal and operated without delay,
making q continuously uninterrupted
smooth run to the next terminal, 1t
means maintenance Of schedule and
modified speed for any railroad. BY
this I do not mean nonstop runs, but
the operation of the trains without the
unnecessary delays which are 50 fire.
quent."
On the subject of great speed, Mr..
Schoyer said:
II have ridden behind steam engines
going 80 miles an hour for mile after
mile uninterrupted. and believe that
speed or possibly few miles more Is
about the limit Of our present steam
power on level railroads. With elec-
tricity great speeds are recorded. OF
course, with the latter there is power
for unlimited speed. all speeds being
subject to the limitations of track and
roadbed. There need be no great
speeds on American railroads. IL we
build, maintain and operate our roads
so that extra stops and unnecessary
slow points are eliminated. Continu-
Gus and uninterrupted running at av-
erage speeds Is the need Of American
railroads today"

Miss Minter, who is just fourteen, has
been on the stage since she was five
years old. She made her debut with
Nat Goodwin in "Cameo Kirby" but
is perhaps best known to theatregOers
for her remarkable performance in
"The Littlest Rebel" in which she was
supported by Dustin and William
Farnum. Miss Minter also appeared in
"The Warrens of Virginia - and played
with such stars as Mrs. Leslie Carter
Mrs. Fiske, Robert Hillard and E. II

Despite her success on the speaking
stage, she has achieved a greater sue.

Silverton from all parts of the west in

the city is taking on a remarkably ac-
tive appearance. Three families moved
here from Salem last week and one
from Portland. A Salem man stated to
a Tribune representative Saturday that
he knew of 10 more families in that
city who contemplated moving to Sill
verton. Nearly every vacant house in
the city has been engaged and new
houses are being erected to accommO-
date the new population. 1t has been
predicted that at least two hundred
houses will be erected here during the
coming summer.
The number of business houses in the
city is not sufficient to meet the de-
mand at present, and it is believed that
numerous store buildings will be erect

Edna May, Actress and
MiIhOnaireS wife, Bids
Adieu to Stage Tomorrow

New York, April 15.-When Edna
May acts for the benefit of the Actors
Fund in a special performance at the
Century theatre tomorrow night it will
not only be her first public appearance
in eleven years, but her last appear
ance on any stage This announcement
was made by Daniel Frohman, president
of the Actors Fund, who obtained Miss
May s consent to appear for the fund.
cit will be farewell not only to the
American stage but to the entire
world" said Mr.. FrOhman. "Miss May
would never have consentedat to appear
before the public again except for the
sake of charity. Her profits from the
moving picture she is now acting for
will also be devoted to a charitable
cause. She will turn them over to the
allied war sufferers.
Inquiries have been made of Mr.. Fro
Imam as to whether the actress would
be seen in her famous role from the
'Belle of New York. but Miss May
has not sung for so long she has de-
cided to give something else.
She will act in a new one-act play,
written especially for her.
Miss May closed her professional ca
reer in 1907. when she was married in
London to Oscar LewisOhn, millionaire
New Yorker. They have made their
permanent home in England, with in
frequent visits to this country. Her
only appearance on the stage after that
was in 1911, when company in which
she was the only professional played a
week at the Savoy theatre in London
for charity, clearing Almost $4,000.
The Actors Fund performance at the
Century will have the assistance of
other prominent actors. A few of them
are Sir Johnston Forbes-RobertsOn, now
making farewell tour of America,
Nine. Nazimova, who will appear in a
new playlet on the divorce question by
George W. Middleton and Marie Dress.
