Paris.-No more remarkable signs
of the business revival In Paris can
be furnished than by the figures pub
lished of the progressive decline in
the numbers of unemployed, especial.
ly during the last year.
Between September 20 and October
"a, 1914, when statistics are first avail
able, the number of relief tickets is
sued shows that the total Of those who
were without work or means was 257,-
435. This was Just after the battle Of
the Marne, when the crisis was at its
height, In the fortnight between Feb.
ruary IA and March /, 1915, this num-
ber had dwindled to $50, ,S64, or dim
mutton of nearly 10000.
Since then the decrease has been
regular and rapid. Between November

Acid Soils.

Some plants do not grow on
acid or neutral soils as well as on
alkaline soils, while some plants
prefer acid soils. Sour soils oc-
cur more often in humid than in
arid regions. They also occur
more frequently in poorly drain.
ed than in well drained places.
Acidity may be caused by free
acids, or may be due to a lack Of
bases. This last ought to he
called a neutral soil but since
plants usually grow equally well
on acid and poor soil, We use but
the one term-Acid Soil.
A number of things will cause
soil to become acid. Large
amounts Of lime are removed i'm
the drainage water. The decay
of organic matter causes much
carbon dioXide and nitric acid To
be formed. Growing plants re.
cover the nitric acid but the car
hon dioXide aud other bases are
largely lost. III our latitude the
decay Of organic matter 3ontin.
nes nearly throughout the entire
year. AS this decay is more
rapid near the surface, we find
the surface soil more sour than
the sub -soil.
Growing plants use more lime
and other bases than they do
ac i DIS. In ordinary farming
where the entire crop is removed,
this is quite factor in forming
acid soils. The blowing under
Of green manure, while not
changing the total amount Of
acid or basic products in the soil,
does, for n time, make soils more
sour by the union of the organic
acids with such basic material as
was already present in the soil.
The continued use of such fer
Iilizers as acid phosphate and
ammonium sui lphate, add TO the
acidity of the soil. Soils derived
from limestone are not usually Y
acid, but many such soils and
soils underIaid with limestone
are ofIen benefited by the use Of
lime.
In future article we will dis.
cuss the plants adapted to both
acid and alkaline soils.

law leaving the Capitalization of
the great financial reserves Of the
country untouched and creating
a central bank, privately owned
and controlled by Wall Street.
The National Monetary Com
mission reported January 4, 1912
and the Republican Senate I'M
der Taft had a full fourteen
months in which to agree either
upon the Aldrich bill or some
other plan of currency reform.
No plan at all was advanced sim
ply because the Democrats and
progressive Republicans of the
Senate absolutely refused TO ac-
cept the Aldrich schemeof plac-
ing control of the country's fl
Inances i'm few favored hands
and the Senate reactionary Re
lpublicans refused to consider
any other plan.
But i'm December, 1913, less
than ten months after President
Wilson was inauguraled, a DEM
ocratic Congress, responding TO
the recommendations of presi-
dent Wilson, passed the Federal
Reserve Act, under which the
country's present unequalled
prosperity has come TO be a fact.
I'm mo- particulars does The Fed
eral Reserve Act follow the Aid
rich plan; indeed Aldrich him
self, though at the time retired
from the Senate, i'm speeches be-
fore financial audiences de-
lnounced every essential proyis-
ion of the Federal Reserve Act
The new law uprooled the sys-
tenn of concentrating banking re-
serves i'm New York and Chica-
go, and i'm lieu of a privately
controlled central bank, estab-
lished a system Of twelve region
al reserve banks controlled by
the government Thus power
over the credit and currency oil
the country was distributed fair
ly over The country, so that the
great producing agricultural anC
industrial sections of the United
States are mo longer dependent
upon Wall street
If Republicans are entitled To
credit for the reserve act es-
.pecially the Republicans of the
UNITED States Senate. as is
claimed, why did all but three
Republicans of the United States
Senate vote against it on passage
i'm the Senate and why did all but

Justly inferred that Hughes
syympathies lie with the reac-
tionary plan of That Commission
rather than with the progressive
and entirely different plan en-
acted into law by the Democrats
under Woodrow Wilson.
