ARRANGING To
LEAVE BERLIN

BERLIN, Wednesday, Feb. 7.-(By
Wireless to Sayville) Feb. S.-The
date of the departure of Ambassador
Gerard has not yet been fixed. The
German authorities are making every
endeavor to assure him and members

announcement made public today by
the Overseas News Agency which fol-

''The date of the departure of the
American ambassador has not yet

FEW MEASURES
SUBMITTED IN
LEGISLATURE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 8.-Today's
session Of the legislature was nearly
devoid of interest. A brief morning
session of the house was given main.
ly to the hearings of state officials on
the general appropriation bill and to
the introduction of two bills. One
was by Wiltbank Of Apache amending
the law with relation to livestock and
the other, local bill by Green Of
Maricopa providing for the construc-
ton of approaches to bridge across
the Aqua FRA river near Coldwater,
Maricopo county. In the afternoon
the house in body visited the Tempe
normal school.
Several measures were considered
in the senate committee of the whole,
most of them of minor Importance.
The house bill appropriating $1,000
for the Northern Arizona Fair at
Prescott was favorably recommended,
in spite of considerable opposition. A
favorable recommendation was also
made on senate bill providing that
there shall be a superior court in each
county for every 10000 population or
fraction thereof. The object
of this bill is to give Cochise county
a second superior court. A senate bill
railroad companies response
bic for all dead livestock found on
their rights of way was recommended
for indefinite postponement.

GRAINS GROW
EASIER THAN CORN

Corn is not so easily grown as the
smaller grains, and is not as extern
sively cultivated in the valleys as it
ought to be. The spring period be-
tween late frosts and hot dry
weather is too short to give a crop
time to mature. If planted about the
middle of June in the southern part
of the state where irrigation is prac-
tieed, or as soon as the rainy season
begins in July under dry farming, the
tassels and silk will escape the intense
dry heat of summer, and the early
varieties the frosts of autumn. Con-
sequently a good crop can often be
grown during this part of the year.
The quick-growing native varieties are
well suited to the region but are lin
tied in productiveness. The following
varieties are best adapted to this sec
ton, both under irrigation and dry
farming: Mexican June, Hickory
King, Forrey's Red Dent, and Navajo
Dent.
In the northern part of the state
where irrigated or dry farmed, corn
can be grown successfully by planting
in May or June. In these sections the
large Dent corns, such as Colorado
Yellow Dent and Bloody Butcher, the
hint corns and the Moqui soft corns
can be grown successfully. F.

Arizona.

MANY STRANGE NAMES
IN ENGLISH TRADES

LONDON, Jan. 25.-The reports of
the military tribunals, which are still
at work wedding out men for the army,
show that there are many ways Of
earning a living which are not known
to the ordinary public. The list of
trades represented in a days applica-
ton for military exemption frequently
reads like an extract from a nonsense
rhyme book For example, the report
of a tribunal in the east Of London
shows applications from a sourer, a
splatcher, a smutterman, a weller, an
unhairer, a tackler, and a tenterer.
A bargain-letter, a monkey-runner,
and bull-dogger were among the ex-
emptions granted the other day. A
bargain letter, it is explained, is the
man in a quarry who arranges terms
with the quarrymen from time to time
as the work develops. A monkey run
ner works in a steel mill, where he
conveys the pieces from shop to shop
suspended from block and tackle, while
the dull-dogger stands by the rollers
and receives the rolled metal in a large
pair Of tongs or dogs.
An allowance man" is not what is
known in the British colonies as a re-
mittance man, but is found in the
breweries, where he is responsible for
the allowance of beer made to every
employee twice daily. A jack-tender is
employed in the cotton mills, with en-
ployes known as jiggers, are found
in a score of traders as wide apart as
woolen weaving and coal mining. The
coal mines provide many curiosities,
such as kirvers, scupplers, thurlers,
lockers, leaders, getters and filters.
An "arbor-maker" has nothing to
do with garden furniture, but is an
cog in the watch making
industry. The "clicker" is found in
q dozen trades, but is especially prev
alent in boot-making, which also pro-
vides such occupations as those of the
cordwainer and sldver. The chucker
is employed in the manufacture of
coke, while the HEAVIER is found in the
metal working trade.
The "masticator" belongs to the
rubber industry, as does also the high
ly skilled workman known as the "hy-
drostatic bedmaker." The "mungo
sorter" deals with the manufacture of
cheap cloth from shoddy. The ''ironer"
may belong to any one of Is trades,
from umbrellas to boots. A "backer"
mas nothing to do with the race course,
put may be encountered in half a doz-
IN trades, from bookbinding to ma
,hinery. The 'booEmaker" is also
found in several trades. The FLASHER"
follows a wholly respectable calling
connected with the manufacture Of /.
plate glass. The "raceman" works in
l lead mine and the eraser" in a cop :
per mill.
The "bank walker" is not employed =
Il a financial institution, but is en-
gagged in examining the banks of
annals and rivers to guard against ac-
.idents. A "hurrier" comes from the
cad mines. A bobby lad" has moth
ng to do with the police force, but !
S employed either in the mines or the
cotton mills. A "datal man" is an ag-
.icultural laborer, but a "pig litter"
S not; he is employed in steel works. S

SOURCE OF BoRAx

The volcanic deposits on the east
side of the Calico mountains, at the
edgeof the Mohave desert of Califor-
MIA, include clays containing coleman
tie, a crystalline borate of lime.
Colemanite contains 500 per cent of
boric acid, 27.2 per cent of lime, and
21.9 per cent of water. The deposits
near the Calico mountains are be-
heved to have been formed by replace
ment of limy beds that were laid down
locally during the evaporation of lake
waters, at intervals between some of
the great outbursts of volcanic ejecta
which formed so large part of the
Tertiary deposits. The boric acid was
undoubtedly derived from fresh vol
canic materials and carried to its
present position by underground wa
ters. The deposits are in two princi-
pal beds, each feet thick and about
so feet apart. These beds have been
mined to a depth of 500 feet. All the
borax produced in the United States
is obtained from California mines,
mainly from Lang, north of Los An
geles, and Death Valley. The value
of borate ores produced in 1915 was
nearly S1,7OO,OOO. The borax is made
by heating the pulverized colemanite
with solution Of sodium borate,
which crystallizes. %. S. geological

KNOWN BY HIS BAD LATIN
American Scholar Tells How He Was
Recognized Without Being Seen :
While Travelling Abroad.

When that distinguished surgeon,
DR.. w. W. Keen, enjoyed his eightieth
birthday, that other eminent scholar
Joseph G. Rosengarten, called to pay
his respects. And Mr.. Rosengarten
told a story, writes Girard In the Phil
adelphia Ledger. ...,a,ss .,.
i He was riding in a diligence In
Switzerland when he heard voices
from without which made him think
that at least one of them was an Amer
lean. So he hailed them In English.
As there was no response, the Phil
adelphia linguist called out In French.
Still there was no reply to his saluta-
ton, and Mr.. Rosengarten spoke In
German, but he was greeted only with
silence.
Finally" said he, II thought !
would try q little Latin, whereupOn q
rotund voice from on top of the vehicle
called down: ..-&--. >
""That's you, Joe Rosengarten. I'm
sure of it, because you never could pro-
nounce Latin correctly"
The other American aboard was DE-.
Horace Howard Furness.
This incident" said the phllosophic
Mr.. Rosengarten, "convinces one that
he may be identified by his mistakes
as well as by his victories" -Girard.
