A modern version of the legend
Of Bruce and the spider was staged
on the west side of Fifteenth
street, between New York avenue
and H, a few days ago.
You remember the legend, no
doubt. Bruce, King of Scotland,
had been defeated in battle. Hid
ing in barn, he watched a spider
trying to weave its web from one
roof-beam to another. 1t failed
six times, the web breaking, but
the seventh trial was rewarded by
success. Bruce forgot his heart
sickness, went into battle again
and won. Now for the present
day-story.
A woman motorist was trying
patiently. like the spider, to park
her car in small space between
two limousines, and yet comply
with traffic rules. Capt Albert J.
Headley of the traffic squad
watched her for a while, and final
ly stepped up to give her word
OF advice. Needing the officers
instructions, the woman motorist
succeeded on her seventh attempt.

Where is the thrill and the cheek

That held me there at the wheel?
Where is the joy, that / seek low

Where is the hand-press and eye-

That gave to each blissful ride
The pleasures of Heaven? A long
while
1t is since you rode by my side.
where is the chatter and laughter ?
The freedom Of spirit and mirth
Yet why should ! think Of them.

SANE AS BURNING MONEY

That hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars are burnt up every year by farm
ers of the corn belt is the rather start
ling statement Of G. p. Walker, Of
Purdue University.
"A few years ago it was commo I
sight during the spring season to sec
great clouds of smoke rolling up from
burning straw piles and corn stalks"
says Mr.. Walker. "In many commun:-
ties the practice of burning stalks is
still common one, and the farmers
".vho are growing less than so bushels
Of corn per acre contend that the
stalks are too heavy to do anything
with.
"To one who realizes what this
means j nrcduced crop yields, in the
face of a constantly increasing popula-
ton, such pra' tice seems little short
Of criminal. Burning straw piles are
less common than in the past, but
selling the straw is little better when
the price received for it barely pays
for the cost of baling and hauling.
"The, man who burns the stalks from
a fifty-bushel corn crop is burning up
about twenty-five pounds Of nitrogen,
or as much as he would put back on
She land in an application Of two and
one-half tons of ordinary manure.
The purchase of this amount Of nitro
gen in fertilizer at present prices
would cost about nine dollars. Many
of the cropped soils of Indiana have
lost from onc-third to onc-half the
supply Of nitrogen and organic matter
which they once held They are
harder to cultivate and canot hold
enough moisture in dry seasons for
/ producing maximum crops. Young

worth when turned back into the soil :?
Returning the cornstalks and wheat
straw to this soil has increased the
average yield of corn eight bushels,
of wheat one bushcl, and of clover
hay, 800 pounds per acre, in tests
made at Purdue University. Valuing
corn at $l.00 and wheat at $500 per
bushcl, and hay at $4,000 per ton, this
increase has been worth about $500
for the three crops, or an average Of
over $i.00 per acre each year.
"Thc corn 'stovcr produced has
averaged about $500 pounds, and the
wheat straw about 100 pounds, 80
hnt less thNn two tons Of this material
has been returned to the land for each
rotation.
with crop increases worth $1,000
the residue materials have been worth
$3.50 per ton.
"Have they paid? SO far the appl:ca
tion Of six tons of manure has p;'oduc-
cd less wheat and hay and only three
bushels more corn than the returned
straw and stalks with 200 pounds

 There will be no international match this summer unless arranged along the lines first suggested. The players who arc interested want a straight American team. which wolfid include Barnes and Hutchinson, ta. light it out with a, straight English team. They insist that they will not play in any team where Scotch, Eng fish, American and Irish or some other combination is represented as it would mean nothing. America in this Case would not have a fair show, as there would be about twelve for aien born golfers playing against six home breds.
 Hagen, Barnes. Hutchinson and Brady, who would be called upon to represent America, discussed the matter yesterday and will refuse to play in anything but a straight team match between America and Great Britain.

INGRAM TIES CAN
 TO GIANT ROCKIES
Jim Cooney and Sidney Ross Go
 /. Back to Minors

San Antonio, Tex. March 15.--John McGraW has made the first cut in the roster of the Giants. He announced the. release of Jimmy Cooney, the shortstop, to the Milwaukee club of the Am erican association and the re- turn of Sidney Ross, left handed pitcher. to the San Antonio club of the Texas league. It is expected that many ore releases will be made pub lie before the Giants leave here Fri day night
 SrCooney was purchased late last sea- son from the Providence club of the Eastern league, in which he batted 1905. The purchase was made main- ly to fortify the infield in the big drive against the Reds. In connection with his release to Milwaukee it is interest ing to note that Joe O'Brien. secretary of the New York club, is president of the minor league outfit. It is likely that there is a string attached to Cooney.
 Ross came to the Giants in 1918. and.was sent to Toronto. Last season he was sent back to San Antonio and came up for another trial.

 He Will do Some Boxing.

Mexico City Mexico. March b Jack Johnson. former champion heavyweight, has reached Manzanlllo on his way to Tia Juana which is just this side of the border in Lower Call fornia. Before leaving Mexico City Johnson said he had arranged series of fights to take place in Tia Juana. He announced he was to meet Sam I.angford of Boston and Harry Wills of New Orleans, and also made the statement, which sporting men here refused to take seriously that Jack Dempsey had agreed to box him in Tia Juana. The biz negro declared that he would not return to the Unit ed States until he had received assur- ances that he would not be arrested before he had had a chance 10 settle his business affairs there. After that, he said, he was willing to submit to whatever action the courts decreed.
