RESTING IS CALLED FALLACY
Experiments Prove That II Is More
Profitable to Keep Soil Busy
Growing Some Crop.

Those who practice resting the land
instead of planting 1t to some legume
should ponder well the result Of an
experiment at the Alabama experiment
station.
On a plot where velvet beans were
grown the year before the yield Of
sorghum hay was 1904 pounds, while
on similar land where no crop at all
was grown the year before the Yield
Of sorghum hay was only 1892 pounds.
Oats yielded 1886 bushels per acre aft
er velvet beans and only 81 bushels
after crab grass and weeds.
Idle or resting" acres are unprofit-
able; the land should be kept busy
growing profitable or a soil improv-
ing crop.

Future Of Radum.
With reference to the furlre of
radium, Doctor Ewing did not venture
forecast, but pointed out that very
great significance must be ATTACHED to
it's selective action ON many lads of
tumor tissue. In spite of rapid i'm
provement in the technique of applica-
ton, the speaker believed that on the
whole the methods are still Compare
lively crude, although he had little
doubt that exact dosage and accurate
adjustment of the apparatus -an be
worked out to much greater degree
than is now accomplished. "FOr in
operable cases." Doctor Ewing said. in
conclusion, "the value of radlum, al
though great, is perhaps already over
estimated. To what extent IL may es-
tablish itself in the treatment of OPP
cradle cases it remains for the future
to decide"
DIR. Joseph C. BlOOdgood of Johns
Hopkins university spoke from the
surgeons point of view on cancer in
the human being, dwelling especially
upon the importance of the pre-eXist-
ing LESSONS which may develop into
cancer and in the treatment and re-
moval of which lies the chief oppor-
tunity of preventing this disease. Doc
tor Bloodgood made it clear that can

''The diseasa" he said, usually
springs from pre-existing lesion al

In external cancer the waning is Wis

pain is rarely present. A mole or u
wart small area covered with a scab,
a small lump or nOdule beneath the
skin, an unhealed wound, all of these
may indicate potential cancer. The
appearance of these defects should
mean a call upon the physical for ex-
animation as to the probability of in
cipient cancer. Nothing is lost by
taking the precaution if symptoms are
not found and, on the other band, the
risk is too great to allow tie warn

keepers and amusement caterers or eV-
cry sort were improving their proper
| ties, arranging their advertisements
and preparing for another season OF
peace and plenty. Then suddenly came
the crash, and for them it looked the
end of the world when. on August D.
the Monte Carlo casino closed its doors.
Meanwhile the people whose bust
ness had always been to make the Ri
viera attractive, were looking each
other in the face. They saw nothing
but ruin ahead. But something desper-
ate had to be done, for the living Of
many thousands depended on their de-
cision and its success. Just as brave
ly as the young men were fighting in
the North the older men in the South
put their backs to the burden. They
got no sympathy from outside. They
must stand together and save the Ri
viera as their sons and younger broth
ers were saving the rest of France.

Few hotels were to remain shut for
the season. except those which were
needed for hospitals. The shops were
To- do business as usual" and Il great
petition was sent to the Casino not to

sympathetic" it was more patriotic
to open them. The SOciete saw the
justice of this, since the life of the
Riviera might hang on their world.
Consent was given. though ii looked
as if it meant large monetary loss I;
and on January l, 1915, when the war
was six months old, the Casino at
Monte Carlo began to do its ''bit" by
the public as already it was doing for
its employees.
By this time everything was getting
into full swing. But what a different

without its dust-raising hOrdes of mo-
tors the Riviera began to be Won

covered all over again. When you had
finished your daily work of visiting
the poor or of suffering in some rock
village or hospital. when you had put
together your pile of knitted socks. or
the bandages you had promised to
make. you could actually go for quiet
walk-a joy forgotten since high-pOw-
cred cars took over the Riviera.
Ordinary gaieties were given up. and
it wasn't fully realized yet how kindly,
how cleverly they could be organized
for doing good. In Mentone the tall.
black Senegalese soldiers had begun to
appear, at first TO be trained for new
kind of fighting; then, when they had
fought, as invalids in the hOtel-hOspit-
ais. But, well or wounded. they were

there could be no such

burning with interest and romance,
was born In the French Riviera Au-
gust 2, 1914, writes G. n. and A. Nj.
Williamson In the London Graphic.
OF course, the Riviera was struck
the same sweeping blow that struck all
France across her brave, astonished
face. At the clang of the tOcsin, the
men of the Midi ran out into the
streets of picturesque rock villages
among the hills and tourist towns
along the sea, as the men of the North
were doing. But the Riviera thrilled
under the menace of q peril all her
own. Just across the beautiful Gorge

where any thought of tragedy would

Flight of the Working-FoIk.
Panic-stricken, the Italian working
folk settled along the coast from Men
tone to Marseilles started to scuttle
across the frontier. They feared in
ternment and hundred vague hor-
rors. Under the binding sun of Au-
gust, along the dazzling roads of Up
per and Lower Corniche, marched an
endless procession, and those who can

young, tottering children and babies in
arms-in arms because the perambu-
lators were piled with the family bag

wheelbarrows, caravans, every sort of
vehicle.
Despite the tragedies of the march
(children dying on the way) it had its
humorous side. because, as it turned
out. the whole business was unneces-
sary. The next phase through which
the Riviera passed. however. was far
from funny. She doesn't really fall as

Inconsistencies in the valuation Of

some cases between two bales of cot

The survey showed that for the

the whole considerably greater in the
eastern cotton states than In those
west Of the Mississippi. These diff

were much greater than differences In
freight rates to mills alone would ac-
count for. The other factors In favor
of the East are believed to have been
the direct purchase by mill buyers,
the existence of good storage facili-,

cheap money, and the more general
