FROST-PROOF CORN SOUGHT
Uncle Sans Experts Endeavoring to
Develop Variety That VIII With
stand Low temperatures.

Investigators for Uncle Sans de-
parment of agriculture are in a fair
way of developing "A variety of corn
that will withstand frost and will grow
at low temperatures. In fact, they
have already achieved results along
this line, and If their efforts prove
wholly successful. the outcome will be
to increase greatly the amount of this
grain raised by extending the corn
belt.
The investigators for the govern
ment planted a special variety Of
corn in February, 1917, and found that
plants which were several inches high
withstood drop in temperature, on
March 3, that froze the ground to a
depth of two inches. OF even more
importance is the fact that some of the
individual plants continued to grow
during periods of low temperature
when ordinary corn would have been
at a standstill. Experimentation con-
tinues, however, as success cannot be
considered assured as yet.

pandering to her popularity by bows
and set smiles; she remained before
the glass, prolonging the business, I'M
til the applause subsidized.
Whitaker received an impression as
of a tremendous force at work across
the footlights. The woman diffused an
effect as of a terrible and 0oundless
energy under positive control. She
was not merely an actress, not even
merely great actress; she was the
very soul of the drama Of today.
Beyond this he knew in his heart
that she was his wife. Sara Law was
the woman he had married in that
sleepy Connecticut town, six years be-
fore that night. He had not yet seen
her face clearly, but he knew. To find
himself mistaken would have shaken
the foundations of his understanding.
Under cover of the applause, he
turned to Max.
"Who is that? What is her name2"
1.-THE divine Sara" Max answered,
his eyes shining.
81 mean, what is her name off the
stage, in private life?'
1.-THE same" Max nodded with con-
viction; "Sara Laws the only name
she's ever worn In my acquaintance
with her"
At that moment, the applause hav-
ing subsidized to such an extent that II
was possible for her to make herself
heard, the actress swung round from
the mirror and addressed one Of the
| other players. Her voice was clear
strong and vibrant, yet sweet; bu
Whitaker paid no heed to the lines she
spoke. He was staring, fascinated, a
her face.
Sight OF 1t set the seal of certaint,
upon conviction: She was one will

Intensely burning eyes, that drawn and
pallid face, the qui K, nervous move
ments of her thin white hands, the
slenderness of her tall, awkward, i'm
mature figure-in every line and con-
tour, In every gesture and infection,
she reproduced the Mary Ladislas
whom he had married.
And yet Max was whisper
ing over his shoulder:
Wonderful make-up-what?'
Makeup" Whitaker retorted.
"She's not made up-she's herself to
the last detail"
Amusement glimmered in the mana
gers round little eyes: You don't
know her. Wait till you get pipe at
her off the stage" Then he checked
the reply that was shaping on Whit
aker's lips, with warning lift of his
hand and brows: SSH Catch this,
now. She's a wonder in this scene"
The superb actress behind the coun-
terfeit of the hunted and hungry shop
girl was holding spellbound with her
inevitable witchery the most sophisti-

she turned down to chair near the
footlights, followed by a torrent of
shrill vituperation under the lash of
which she quivered like a whipped
thoroughbred.
Abruptly, pausing with her hands on
the back of the chair, there came a
change. The actress had glanced across
the fOotlights; Whitaker could not but
follow the direction of her gaze; the
eyes of both focused for brief in
slant on the empty aisle-seat in the
fourth row. A shade of additional pal
Tor showed ON the woman's face. She
looked quickly, questioningly, toward
the box of her manager.
Seated as he was so near the stage,
Whitaker's face stood out in rugged

MARINES NOT SAILORS
HSoIders of Sea" Form Inde-
pendent Branch of Service.
for Naval Stations and Bases
outside Of United States.

The exact status of Uncle Sans
soldier of the sea-" as the Marine
corps has been designated, is not alto
gether clear to many people. The
marines are an Independent branch Of
the military service of the United
States, generally serving under the d.
rection of the secretary of the navy.
They protect government property at
naval stations at home and furnish the
first line of the mobile defense of
naval bases and naval stations beyond
the limits of the United States. They
guard American lives and interests
abroad and they are used as expedition
airy forces and for advance base duty.
The marines go with the warshipE, do
guard duty on board and act as land
bic that, owing to the active part the
marines are taking in the present war,
their status will be somewhat changed.
The Marine corps was first called
Into existence by the act of the con-
tinental congress of November 10
1775, and served throughout the Revo-
lutionary war. 1t was disbanded al
the close of the war, but was reor-
ganized and permanently established
July IL, 1898. 1t has participated in
every expedition and action in which
the navy has engaged and has coop
Grated in campaigns with the army.
Until recently the organized strength
of the marines was II, 400 men, but in
the present emergency a large in
crease has been made. An applicant
for enlistment in the Marine corps
must be an American citizen between
twenty and thirty-five years of age
and must read, write and understand
English. He must be single and with
out dependent relatives, and must be
of good moral character and excellent
health.
When a recruit is enrolled he is put
on probation and sent to one of the
many training stations. Here he mus
undergo another examination, and II
found satisfactory he is sworn into
the service. If unsatisfactory he is re
turned to his home at the govern
ment's expense.
The marines pay Is practically clear
as his expenses are few, and his saw
ings may be deposited with the pay
master. Upon the death of any en-
listed man from wounds or sickness
not due to his own misconduct there
will be paid to the widow, children Of
dependent relatives previously desig
mated by him an amount equal to sil
months pay.
Advancement in the Marine corps
especially at this time, is comparative
ly rapid, since vacancies occur con
stantly in the non-commissionet
grades. Non-commissioned officer
may be promoted to the warrant ranl
with pay varying from $1,125 to $3.50
year. Men are also selected by com
petitive examination for training 70
commissions at the Naval academy
and at this time special arrangement
have been made to enable men of thu
rank to receive regular commissions IL
proportion to their ability.

Horse Driven From One
of Last StronghoIds

The horse has lost another
trench.
1t has been driven from one
of its last strongholds-the Yos-
emite National park.
Heretofore motorcycles have
not been admitted to the park.
because the park roads have
been In use by horse-drawn We
hicles and because some of the
grades on the roads have been
considered too steep and danger
Gus for motorcycle traffic.
During the 1917 season, how
ever, there was practically no
travel in the park by horse
drawn vehicles. The roads have
been improved until now there
are none that are not safe for
travel m any kind Of convey
ance.
Secretary of the Interior Lane,
therefore, has issued an order
that hereafter motorcycles shall
be admitted to the park.
