ADDITION TO NATIONAL MENU
Interesting Exhibit at Washington of Plant Foods That May Be
 Grown for the Table.

An interesting exhibit of fruits and vegetables was prepared by the office of foreign seed and plant introduction of the United States department of ag riculture for the benefit of the agricul tural editors who recently met in Washington.
 Ranged upon the tables were speci mems of casSava root. daSheen tubers. udO shoots, passion fruit, white SapOte fruit, chayOtes, and last. and best of all, collection of highly colored and extremely fragrant mango fruits.
 All the vegetables and fruits were fresh and all were grown in the United States at government stations.
 The culture of some of the vege- tables and fruits represented at the exhibition Is limited by climatic condi- tions to our southern states, but this feature will not bar them from the northern and western markets. The exhibition in this respect gave some idea of the increased range given to tEe American bill of fare by the intro- duction of these plants for commercial purposes.
 The udO a celerylike shoot of a Jap anese vegetable, is not limited by eli mate and Is now being grown success fully as far north as Nova Scotia. It is a salad vegetable of particularly pleasing taste and texture-sOmething quite strange to the American palate.
 The value of the exhibit Is in the fact that each of it's members has passed beyond the experimental stage of culture and may be regarded as an accepted agricultural resource.

young 'Drake'S~car. Sc the little smile stayed in Bess eyes with persistent happiness while she prepared a nour- ishing dinner.
 Next morning she made a stop on her way to business. It Was at the "Lost and Found" desk Jf the leading daily paper.
 The advertisement read: twill young man who drove three girls home from corner Fifth avenue and Fifty fourth street please return fur neck piece left in carp
 As she turned away from the desk ..nd started to make her way swiftly out lest she be late, she collided with d young man apparently bent on the same business as herself.
 "Oh!" gasped Bess, breath!ess from the impact. Then, looking up, beau- tiful flush swept her cheeks.
 "So!" cried young Drake, with quite shameless elation, "then 1t was your fur?" He had jumped to speedy con clusions seeing Bess near the Lost and Found" desk. II am not sure would have recognized eit'cr If rhe other two girls-had I bumped into them here," he added.
 The implied compliment was reward ed by lovely slow glance from the girls eyes.
 "You were going to advertise for the Owner?" she questioned.
 "Yes," young Drake told her, 'and I don't mind letting you know hcpcd you were that owner. l have never had to return lost property before, so don't know how to do it." He looked expectantly at Bess for his solution.
 "I would call it found property now" she said slowly, and decided then and there that she would like knowing young Drake much better than she al ready did. "Perhaps if you have time and still must stay out in the air you could stop by Fifty-tllirl street some evening and deliver the fur. l am at that corner every evening about 5:15."
 "I have time, I must stay in the air and know you need your fur this cold weather. If tonight is all right l will be waiting"
 Tt is pretty cold" laughed Bess and the atmosphere surrounding her smile being anything but chilly, young Drake knew that every evening from then on would see him waiting at Fifty-third should cease to be self-supporting.

The Lost Fur
  By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD

t(cl lS2O, by Mcclure Newspaper Syndtcate.) )
 The snow was piled in great banks along Fifth avenue and the stages careened through the street like a ship in an angry sea.
 Bess Wilson had been standing wait ing for seat on one of those buses until she felt she could stand not an- other moment.
 Getting to and from business under the horrible conditions of the city streets was a most trying ordeal each morning and evening, and Bess, togeth- CT with two of her business friends. was getting weary of the struggle.
 ''1t is only under such conditions as these that I ever regret being poor and having to work for living" laughed Bess discOnsolately as they vainly hailed the tenth bus that passed them on its uptown way. :. "It wouldn't hurt some of these wealthy people to give us lift either" commented Nesta. "They could so cas- fly fill up their great cars and helQ traffic a little."
 The words had scarcely fluttered from her lips when a big motor, driven by well-poised young man, stopped before the three tired girls.
 "Plenty of room in my back seat if any of you want a lift" he invited. with a sharp military touching of his cap.
 Oh" sighed Nesta, perhaps the most tired of the three.
 II was just saying some one would be good enough to take us uptown"
 Young Vincent Drake laughed and jumped out to let the girls in his great car.
 BeSs Wilson hesitated
 "I go. to the West side," she sighed. "You two go ahead. I will just have to- wait for a No. 15 bus"
 Drake inveigled her into the car while she was yet speaking. "1 can strike toward the West side at any angle," he told her. When they

were all three comfortably and thank fully tucked in he turned laughingly and impersOnally for orders.
 As they jOlted and swerved along the trntfit-bOund, snOW-encumbered avenue the girls took complete and most satis- factory inventory of the young man who so kindly rescued them from more lengthy wait on the street cor her. Each pair of eyes said, II like him-sion't you?"
 Even had Drake been chumily in- cllned. he could not have dared giving his attention for so much as moment to his three passengers. Driving was prerarlnus and all his head and energy were well occupied. However when Nesta and Helen were safely deposited amid the Snowdrifts adOrning their own neighborhood, he insisted on the third and lonely passenger changing from the back to the front seat.
 "Ynu'll get jostled back and forth across that big seat and. besides. l will have tD shout for directions to your houe.'
 So ReSs found herself beside Drake minus the small fur piece she had un- fastened from her throat. It had than trouble Drake. she let 1t remain unti! she should get out.
 The trip over to the West side was without any special incident. Drake had east an occasional swift glance at his tired little companion, but words between them were few. Perhaps Bess was too tired to do more than lift a pair of heavy lashes in acquiescence 10 some remark of Drake's, or it might have been sense of decorum that kept her from chatting freely with this strange young man.
 Interpreting her silence as the latter cause. Drake essayed to put his charge more at her ease.
 You are about the umpteenth pas >enger l have taken home during this cshow blockade. I've been picking up people all this week. Doctor orders that l keep out in the air as much >s possible; so l took this means of co Ai- bining duty with pleasure"
 During the remainder of the drive to Bess' apartment door Drake was conscious that the girls queer little personality was making its way through the silence she maintained. >
 'Thank you so much," she said soft ly as she stepped from the car. T was very tired tonight and appreciate your kindness. Goodnight"
 She was gone so swiftly that Drake hardly realized her exit from his hori- zon. It was not until he had plowed his precarioNs way a few blocks be- yond that he cursed himself for not having thought to get her address. He had feeling that he could get to like Bess, but now he had lost his chance She was needle in a great haystack to him.
 When Bess had climbed the three flights of stairs to the small apart ment and removed her coat and hat, there was quaint little smile lowering about her lips. She had not taken off her fur, because 1t was not on her neck to take off. It was in the back seat of

Electricity to Locate Metal.

The Idea of using current trans mitted through the earth as means of locating metal ores Is familiar. the belief being that the greater conduc- tivity of these metalliferous regions can be clearly indicated, and the area mapped out, says the Scientific Ameri- can. The location of oil deposits, which according to the Electrical Re- view Is now being investigated cleo trically. presents converse problem. Tn this case the insulating properties of the oil diminish the current. and oil-bearing, regions are detected ac- cordingly. In view of the great depth to which 1t is often necessary to bore for oil-oil that only exists simulta- neOusly with an almost oil-free area above-the method would seem to have limitations, but 1t has doubtless possibilities in dealing with surface oil areas.

SEEKS TO STABILIZE
PRICE OF COTTON
Head of Georgia Cotton Association
Wants Fair Profit Assured Growers
At Beginning Session ofmmusaiV.
At Beginning of Season.

Atlanta-"It is not our purpose
to be satisfied with the selling of
this present growing crop of cot
ton at good prices" said R. w. Mat
tox, president of the Georgia Divis-
ion of the American Cotton Associa-
ton, today in discussing plans of the
members of the association. Greater
than this one idea is to so stabilize
the price of cotton that our members
will be assured of fair profit on the
years work at the beginning of each
season."
President Mattox declares that this
is true in practically all business orga-
nizations, and theresis no reason, he
says, why it should not apply to the
grower of cotton. He shows that one
of the first reasons why it has not
heretofore applied to the business of
growing cotton is that the first fun

"One of the recent estimates that

these changes were considered in any
way"
| President Mattox says the total
acreage in the cotton belt this year
will be less than last season.
There is no question continued
President Mattox, "but that the world
is desperately short of all character
of cotton, and is willing to pay a
good profit to the producer in order
to get the supply. But it is up to the
producer to show what is the actual
average cost of production, and that
