etc. But on July +th the Citizen in
an appendum says:

RAW COTTON IN MANY coLoRs
Possible, says Southern Man Who Has
Made Experiments.


In South Carolina there Is cotton
grower, W. Brabham, who maintains
that cotton may be colored before il
is grown. He says; Il have now in
prospect or on hand red, brown, green
and gray cotton" Some he got by
means of hyhridizing Red is native To-
Peru. gray is grown in India, brown
in Egypt, yellow in China and black
is being developed in Mexico, accord
ing to Mr. Brabham.
He says soil has no eject on the
colors, and he believes that it will be
possible 10 grow practically any De,
sired shade as a result Of crossing the
various available colors. Thus, If the
war makes it impossible 10 obtain
dyes. we may be able to get along
with the aid of nature and have the
additional certainty that the colors
will be fast.

KEEP MICE FROM PIANO
Pedals Exclude Pests by New Kind Of
Vertical Rods

One of the common causes Of dam.
age to pianos is the destruction of the
felt coverings of the hammers by mice
that gain access through the pedal
apertures, and to prevent this, one
manufacturer is using new connec-
ton for the pedals. Instead of enter
ing through slots in the front of the
case, as is the usual practice, the new
pedal arms are curved down and un
der the front and are connected with
the vertical rods beneath the case
The rods glide up and down under
the action of the pedals and can there
fore be made to fit the openings 50
closely that the mice are unable to get
inside the case Popular Mechanics,

CARDINAL FARLEY
Continued from Page One)

of his pilgrimage to Rome, was
in New York
He was born April 20, 1912, at
Newton Hamilton. County Armagh,
Ireland, the son of Philip and Cath
crime tMurphy) Farley. His father
was an inn-keeper. Both parent
died when the boy was only seven
years old, and he was left largely
to make his own way. Ue succeed
ed in getting a fair education at St.
Marcartan's, a college in the neigh
borhood of his home, and he proved
to be not only a brilliant student
but a popular one, for he was known
as the comedian of his class and a
peacemaker among his fellows.
Through the auspices of an uncle,
he came to New York and continued
his education at Sa. Johns College,
Fordham, and at St Josephs Sem
mary at Troy. n. Y. Four more
years he spent at the American COL
lege in Rome, Italy, and was or
dained as priest there, June IL,
1870.
Returning to this country, he spent
the first two years after his ordination
as assistant rector at st, Peters, at
New Brighton, Staten Island, in New
York harbor. The vigor and ability he
displayed in this, his first work, attract
ed the attention of Cardinal Archbishop
McCloskey and he engaged him as his
secretary. The young Father Farley
held this post for u years, almost up
to the time of the cardinals death. This
sectarial intimacy with the first Ameri
can to be elevated to the cardinalate
had great influence on Father Farley.
He imbibed much Of the gentleness Of
spirit and plain habits of life which
we're characteristic of his superior. and
after Cardinal McCloskey's death he eu-
logized him in story of his life.
While serving under Cardinal Nc
Closkey, Father Farley was also rector
of St. Gabriers, populous and poor
parish on the East Side of New York,
where priests life was on Of constant
toll and not little hardship. In that
parish he showed himself capable of the
greatest sacrifices for his people. He
was a great friend of the poor. and it
became neighborhood saying that no
man ever went hungry if Father Farley
knew IL.
In 1884 Pope Leo XIII appointed him
private chamberlain, and his title then
became monsignor. In 1891 he was APP
pointed vicar-general of the archdiocese
Of New York; in 1892 domestic prelate of
POPE Leo; in 1895 apostolic prothonotary'
and in the same year auxiliary bishop
under Archbishop Corrigan Of New
York. In this capacity Father Farley

coup by asserting to a restriction OF
the discussion to the principles laid
down by President Wilson as the only
possible basis Of peace.
1t was said authoritively today
that such a proposition undoubtedly
would be accepted. But this state
ment was accompanied by slgnifi-
cant reminder of conditions which
must be met preliminary to any such
discussion.
These are that the central powers
must withdraw completely from all
occupied territory in France and Bel
GUM, Italy, Russia and Serbia. The
Germans must drop the subterfuge OF
the Brest -Litovsk treaty made by
Germany with Russian agents, hired
to betray their country. They must
loosen their hold upon the wheat
| fields of Ukrainai and the oil wells of
Serbia and Russia, and all of this
must be done before America would
consent to talk of peace, even upon
the basis of the Presidents stipula-
ton.
Attention was called to the fact
that in his reply secretary Lansing
referred to the terms upon which the
United States would consider peace
as having been stated repeatedly,
That meant not only that the four
propositions laid down by President
Wilson in his fourth of July speech
at Mount Vernon must be considered,
but that they must be considered in
rxyifh nfhap 6np1nra ion
from the same source. 1t was par
ticularly intended, it was explained,
that there should be held in mind the
fourteen propositions stated by the
President.
Accordingly before the Central
powers can have any peace discus
sions with the entente powers and
America, they must accept the prin-
ciples of mo secret treaties; freedom
Of the seas except to suppress pre-
