Objects to Street Beggars.
Q the Editor, NC washingto Herald

To the Editor. The warrington Herald
When foreign diplomats Congre-
gate here in a few weeks to duscuss
world disarmament, what impression
will they get of our city, the capital
of the wealthiest nation on earth.
if they find our sidewalks lined with
PROSTATE cripples pretending to be
selling pencils when they are really
trying to prey upon the sympath
of a gulnble public?
If the condition of these beggars
were Investigated they might be
found much better off financially
than the ones from whom they are
soliciting help.
Allow US to suggest that the
police be empowered to look after
these people and aid them, If neces-
sary, but remove them from our
sidewalks.
Our government Is able TO sup
port all such persons and we cannot
afford to offset the beauty of our
parks and flower beds by the pres
ence of these human parasites. We
have the prettiest. cleanest city in
the world but a few things need
cleaning up and we believe this is
one of them.

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 8. 1921.

This Is read as a day of con-
flicting influences by astrologers
who find that while Uranus anG
the Sun are in benefic aspect. Mer-
curry, Jupiter and Saturn are all
adverse.
The rule inclines the mind to un-
to reach decisions.
Although the Sun gives the best
encouragement to those who seek
the aid or support of persons pow
erful in finance or business, the
stars diminish self confidence and
cause persons to appear at their
worst instead of their best status
of thought and action.
1t should be a fairly propitious
rule under which to seek employ
ment, although editors and deal
ers in real estate may be difficult,
to approach.
Farmers will have cause for dis
content and may suffer severe losses
but the stars certainly foreshadow
an era of plenty and profit after
this year.
Speculation in land will not be
lucky at this time aiL the inclina-
tion OF persons of moderate re-
sources to invest in farms or homes
should not be exploited.
There is sign held to forecas,
loss of popularity for public men
and especially for one who holds a
high office.
Mining matters will not be salts

ment in conditions should be
marked.

PRESERVING SOIL MOISTURE
Pernicious Practice Of Permitting Wa.
ter to Escape From Soil Should
Be Discouraged.

The practice that prevails in some
irrigation localities of letting the nat
ural moisture escape from the soil.
with the idea that more water can be
applied when 1t Is needed, is most per-
nicious and should be discouraged, say
specialists of the United States De
pnrtment of Agriculture. If the moist
ure that gets into the ground In the
form Of precipitation or as irrigation
wnter is retained by the soil 1t will en-
able the soil organisms to act upon the

for plant growth. There is feeling
of safety in having an unlimited sup
ply of water for irrigation purposes,

THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Proof That Engineers Have Erred in
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight Of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men averaging 1853
pounds in weight placed in a box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of 1S1 pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only As pounds. but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer 1S1 than 45
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.

FINAL TRIUMPH FOR MAURICE
Small Boy Endured Much, but in the
End He Made Strong Point
Over Rivals.

Ten-year-old Maurice was in love
with the pretty new teacher and did
everything in his power to get ahead
of the others In winning her affection.
Monday morning he was distinctly out
of humor when in walked John and
gave the teacher ticket. Its to the
entertainment at our church." he said
proudly. Il bought this ticket for you

sing"
A few days later he was more pro-
voked when In came Helen bearing
ticket. IT'S to our dancing class
party. 1 want you to come and see
me dance" she smiled.
He scowIed and scowled. But later
in the week his turn came to smile
above all the rest. He. too. bore n
ticket to teacher. but his speech was
different. Here's ticket for you,

to purebred males, according to the
owners pledges. Although the ncm-
ber of purebreds, as noted, increased
notieeably, more scrubs also we're
listed than in any previous quarterly
period. thus helping to accomplish one
of the main objects of the campaign
which is to grade up inferior animals
by the use of good purebred sires.
The greatest activity curing the
current year. SO far as enrollhents
are concerned, has occurred in Ohio,
with Nebraska second. In justice TO
other states 1t may be added that sew
eral. from which only a few pledges
to use only purebred sires were re-
ceived, have been active In other
branches of the work, particularly in
the procurement and distribution of
purebred sires of good quality. Ken
tucky and numerous other states, sn-
Guiding West Virginia, Minnesota.
Wisconsin and Virginia, are launch
ing aggressive drives against Inferior
sires. particularly scrub bulls.
A feature of interest during the first
quarterly period of 1921 was the dis
patch of five embIems of recognition
to far-off Guam, our island outpost in
the Pacific, thousands of miles beyond
Hawaii.
