the Farm Bureau has been the secur-
ing Of an appropriation Of half I,
million dollars to fight the corn borey

Last spring when Congress was i
session, it cut the proposed appro-

The Farm Bureau exerted the infiq

increased it by 100000.
When Congress was considering

ADJT. GEN. P. c. HARRIS
MEETS CONTEMPT RULE
Answers Subpoena Issued for Re-
fusal to Disclose Affidavit Filed
in Army Draft Case.

Peter c. Harris. adjutant general,
L. s. A. appeared today before Justice
Siddons of the District Supreme Court
in response to a rule in contempt laid
against him for refusing to obey IL
subpoena duceS tecum issued several
days ago by the court The officer
had been directed to appear before
a notary public acting under COM
mission from an Ohio court to take
testimony in a divorce action brought
by Harry H. Walsh against his wife
Mary H. Walsh. Gen.. Harris also had
been directed to bring with him an
affidavit made by the wife in connec-
ton with her husbands draft papers
Gen. Harris appeared before the
notary as directed, but declined to
exhibit the paper on the ground that
1t was of confidential nature and
against public policy to disclose it's
contents. The officer also pointed out
that the selective service act espe-
cially prevents the exhibition of the
afidavits made under it's require
ments. even whom ordered by a court
of law
When the refusal Of the officer to
show the paper had been reported to
Justice Siddons rule was laid
against Gen. Harris to show cause
why he should not be adjudged in
contempt. The officer made the same
return to the courts order through
Assistant United States Attorney
1d8seH5--caRtming that the selective
draft law does not permit him to
disclose the contents of the paper. .
/ The case may be argued late this
afternoon.

CROSSING THE STREET.
A Plea for the Person Who Takes
the Safest Course.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In framing regulations for the control
OF traffic at street corners it would help
great deal if those who have the mat
ter In charge would devote a portion
OF their time to q study of the human
animal. This interesting creature has
certain instincts and characteristics
which should be taken into account when
preparing laws for his guidance
One Of the most pronounced of these
is his dislike for right angle and his
avoidance Of it unless restrained by con-
ditions beyond his control. The pave
ments of the buried cities of the east
bear mute witness to the fact that in the
DAYS OF Abraham men were as much
given to cutting the corners as they are
today. The streets of ancient Greek and
Roman cities give similar testimony. and
Wherever men walk on the face Of the
earth they follow their natural bent,
which is not a right angle
, II this tendency were recognized and
some regard paid to the fact that it is
second Nature for q man to take a
diagonal course at intersections, it
would not be difficult to make the cross
ings safer than they are now. Pedesr
TRANS should be given the privilege of
crossing either at right angles or diagon-
ally. and automobiles and other vehicles
should encroach upon these spaces at
their peril
sometimes hear complaints of per-
than the intersections. They are called
Jay walkers and other lard names and
it is implied that they have no bust
ness to venture into the street at such
points. know men who prefer to
cross in the middle of the block. for
there they need watch in only one direc-
ton at a time, while at the regular
crossings death bears down upon them
from four ways at once IF the middle
of the block is to be preserved for the
automobile. surely the crossings should
be sacred for the man on foot
The recklessness Of some drivers at
these points is almost beyond belief A
few days ago I was crossing the stree:
with a lady at a crowded corner. Street
cars were moving in three directions.
and the traffic cop was as busy as a
one-eyed orphan at a three-ring circus.
Obeying his signal we moved forward
and had nearly reached the other side
when an automobile dashed over the
crossing. When the chauffeur saw us
he sounded his horn but made no ef-
fort to check his speed. Something had
back in front of an approaching street
car, trusting to the sense Of the motor
man-fOr it was clear that the cha uf-
feur had none-to avoid an accident.
Our confidence was not misplaced but !
do not care to take that kind OF a
chance very often.
There are more pedestrians on our
streets than there are automobiles. and
the privilege of crossing the street with
ont risking his life is one OF the in
aIienabIe rights with which the man on
foot is endowed.

Answers to Last Weeks Questions.
No. 13-1. 1t is necessary to keep
exhaust pipes and muA1er clean to
prevent the burned gases from exert
ing . back pressure on the piston
while the gases are being expelled
from the cylinder, which would
cause a waste of power.
.. The spark should be varied ac-
cording to the rate of speed of the
engine. On high speed the spark
should always be advanced to ignite
the gas charge earlier in the cylin-
der On slow speed the explosion
should occur later. Therefore re-
tarded spark is necessary.
3. Piston rings are placed in
naming space between it and the
cylinder wall. to give better COM
preston. They are split, SO that they
can expand enough to fill that space.
4. A bearing made of steel, with
balls or rollers. is called an anti-frie-
made Of bronze and has only a smooth
surface, no rollers, for friction.
5. The piston stroke on some OF the
| smaller cars is usually no longer
| than the diameter of the cylinder
bore. A long-stroke motor has a
| the diameter of the bore.
s. The exhaust valve is open the
longest time when a motor is running
| A trifie more time is needed to allow
| the burned gases to escape than to
| allow the gasoline vapors to enter

| !. valve cam is a fat. cylindrical
disc of steel having a bump or raised
portion, which, in turning on its
! shaft, comes in contact with the low
! er end of the valve push rods, auto
matically thrusting it upward. The

against the pressure OF the valve
8. At a high rate Of speed on good

pediment to overcome than traction

traction resistance only is consid-

3. Cylinder blocks are usually made
