The Great Blond Doer


a 7 NO time in the history of man is
~ his "holding" of "adaptability" so
Il IA amazingly seen and so individually
exploited as in time of war. He will strug-
gle to adapt in the face of the most insur-
mountabe difficulties, even to the extremity
Of death If necessary.
speak of this faculty as "holding"s for
the reason that it is, to a greater or less de-
gree. within every man. We all struggle to
adapt, but many of us die under the stress
of those very environments which develop
strength and character in others. Why?
have been tremendously impressed in OBJ
serving the phenomena of success and fail
ure in adaptability, from an anthropologic
point Of view. The evidence is so over
whelmingly in favor of its being, primarily,
physical ENTHUSIASTICALLY booming to fail
ure on the one hand, forespeaking success
on the other-that I am constrained to write
on the matter hoping that others, perhaps
more fitted than I, will observe and report
on this subject.
Let me offer in illustration our present
naval situation. The navy has been re-
cruited entirely through the volunteer sys-
tenn. After careful observation over a
period of two years and careful percent
age count of more than thousand sailors
in various parts Of the country, find that
better than 80 per cent of them are blue or
light eyed. The personal efficiency of the
navy is far too high for it's achievements to
be classified as other than the result Of sue
cessful individual "adaptability," while. on
the other hand, the percentage of light ewes
is too high to be ignored as a factor in the
matter.

constant impact of that ray from the sun,
unlmpeded by the moist cloud banks of the
northern sea zones, while, on the other hand,

equatorial zones, in being equipped with a
blocking material quite as effectual as the
molsture-laden clouds piled up by the sea,

The Jack of leather is constantly increasing as the war progresses, so that even the scraps of leather which were former ly nailed to the shoes will soon not be available. such leather as is still on hand or still expected is for the most part required and used up for ihc army, consequently the civil pop ulation mus manage for themselves.

several associations, among them tho association for the protection of the interests of the suburbs of Berlin nave petitioned the board of directors uf the railway for repeal of the ordinance forbidding the heating of the cars The reason for the petition is found in the order issued by the minister of public works on October 3th of this year. It is stated in this order among other things that;
 "+ The heating of city, trolley and suburban cars, laborers and workshop cars, as well as those of nranch lines having d run of less .han an hour is entirely out of the uGestion. Branch lines of more than ore hours run are not heated in general throughout west and central Germany The request of the usso- ciations for the heating of the subur- ban cars will therefore be refused by the railroad administration. More over the lack of coal is only a minor rc ason for this refusal. Tho chief reason is the lack of heating pipes which are made of rubber or of a substitute. The supply of the coup iings of the heating system is hardly enough for all the long route cars, so that tho heating of suburban cars cannot be counted on. Therefore people who are obliged to travel long distances every day on the suburban trolleys had better provide them selves with an extra protection in the way of clothes, whether they like it CT not.

Between Decem- Der, 1916, and March, 1917, Stopper partly by his own efforts, partly through the others who are under in- aictment in the case, had little by lit tie bought up 4,000 hundredweight of carrots and had deposited them 1r Berlin.

Bread Card SswindlCrS.
(Germania, Nov. 23. 1917.

(Germania Nov. 23, 1917)
 The story about the 1000 stolen bread cards seems to be a case of nrofitcering, partly professional col fusion and fraud, which yesterday under the heading "Winkelmann and companions brought seven persons before the fourth criminal section of the first county court" These bread cards were derived from the thieVery of two youthful apprentices in a printery, in which food cards were n ade. The apprentices got in league with Kurt Winkclmann, a workman well known to them, who, with the help of other accused, attended to tho selling of tho stolen cards. on "n average of 90 pf. was paid them for each one, which naturally by means of "chain" rapidly became very dear. Consequently the thou iands of bread cards earned for the apprentices thousands of marks, in spite of tho approximately low sell ing price. Tn this way, they received ut one time alone 4,0OO marks. Win l<elmann himself WaS cheated, robbed and defraudcd in these transactions bN the others at various times. On one occasion 300 bread cards were stolen from his coat pocket, another time he was given ill payment a sealed envelope which was alleged to contain 1000 marks, but really only contained d 10-mark note, hidden in q local newspaper. Three of the prontecrS received one year in the house of correction, two four months respectively, ono year imprisonment' Winkolmann six months in prison. one was aCOlittCd

Rules for War Horses.

(Deutsche Tageszeitung, Nov. 23, I'D
 The acting commanding general of the Sixth Army Corps in Breslau in an order now made public has forbidden the keeping of horses for pleasure. The order forbids for the territory In which the corps is located, the pos- session of all horses which are not actually needed in connection with war industries, In trade, business, manufactures or farming, and espe- cially those which are kept merely for convenience or pleasure. The order aoes not apply to horses under four years of age. however, because up to that time edges of horses front teeth have not begun to rub together; 1t does not apply to horses used cxclu- yively for breeding purposes, to riding school horses which arc used as n means of livelihood. or to race horses whose worth in times of peace is on nrely beyond the price possible to al- low for them.

REDUCE sweet
POTATO LOSSES
1T is SAID MUCH OF THE LOSS
DUE TO DISEASES MAY BE
PREVENTED.

BY John A. Elliott, Plant Pathologist

Station.
1t has been proved by repeated eN
periments that many of the diseases
of the sweet potato can be controlled
or very much reduced by proper seed
selection and treatment, and crop ro-
tation. Clean seed planted in clean
soil will produce clean crop. Badly
diseased seed cannot be made safe by
any treatment, and such seed shoSld
be discarded
Treatment For Sweet Potatoes.
First: Choose seed that is as clean
az possible.
Second Treat the seed. Treat
ment: (Use care as this is very pois-
water 8 gallons. Let the potatoes
soak for 20 to 80 minutes-not longer.
Formahn may be substituted for cor
rosive-sublimate, in which case use
pint of 40 per cent Formalin in 30
gallons of water. Soak for two hours
not longer. (Corrosiye-sublimate is
better).
Third: Bed in clean, disease-free
sand which has not been used before
and is not from a field where pota-
toes have been grown. II crop has
been badly diseased, change the loca-
ton Of the bed to clean soil.
Fourth: Plant in field free from
disease If field has produced q
diseased crop do not use it for grow
ing potatoes for at least two seasons
If this plan is followed carefully n
clean crop of potatoes should be
raised.
Clean potatoes. carefully handled
end stored in clean, properly ventilat,
ed and heated houses, will keep with
very little loss
