QUEENS PARADE
TO Be HUGE ONE
Coronation OF AmeO GrottO Popular
Girl to Attract Entire City on
Streets.

Carnival night, Dec. Is, when the
queen of the Amoo grotto popular
ity contest is crowned, will be a
jubilee night for all Rock Island.
The big parade headed by the
queen, her four maids, and the
ladies' reception committee, will
begin at z o'clock in the evening,
and will be followed by the corona
ton.
Every person on the streets that
evening will have bags of confetti,
and each will be the target of the
other. Confetti, balloons, whistles,
horns, rattlers, peanuts, popcorn,
flags, and fun-makers of every de-
scription will be utilized. Each per-
son will be asked to join in the
merry-making and use confetti
freely. The parade will follow in
an order similar to this:
First will be the grand marshal.
and then the advance guard of po-
lice to open the way for the band
which is followed by the guard of
honor marching in open formation
to clear the path for the royal
party, consisting of the royal
trumpeteers, the queen, heralds,
flower girls, and the four maids.
Other entries and many floats
will follow. The maskers will
come close behind the royal party.
Arriving at the throne erected
especially for the royal party, the
paraders viii take their places in
line and the queen and her royal
consort will take their places. The
presentation of jewels will then be
made by master of ceremonies.
Following the coronation, the
queen and her party will visit the
three dance halls where festivities
will be held, the Masonic temple,
Odd Fellows hall, and Legion hall.

N THEORY
SAVED
FROM DISEASE

Racine, Wis.-Those persons who
like TO have Just a few barrels of
sauer kraut in the house in case of
sickness or TO whom corn beef and
cabbage is a necessity and cabbage
salad a luxury, owe an inestimable
debt to DR.. L. R. Jones, plant
p%athologist of the University OF
Wisconsin and to the persistence
of a group of Wisconsin cabbage
growers along the west shores of
Lake Michigan.
In the face of a blight which in
variably followed continuous plant
ing of cabbage and which practi-
cally threatened the determination
of the commercial growth of the
plant, experiments conducted by
DR.. Jones saved the industry. The
story is told by a writer in the
Wisconsin AgricuIturist.
It is a story of a 10 years fight
by scientific men using the weapon
of selection and elimination against
a disease known as cabbage yell
lows and which science has Won
Today there are miles of cabbage
fields in the truck section of Wis
consin and Illinois where a few
yearse ago scarcely a trace of a
crop would reward the best efforts
of the farmers.
Cabbage grows almost every
where in the United States but it
was an unsatisfactory crop because
after a few years of production,
land would invariably become in
fected with yellows and henceforth
for all time would refuse TO grow
cabbage.
The principle upon which DIR.
Jones operated was this: A field
infected with yellOws would produce
maybe a dozen, maybe not more
than one or two heads per r For
some reason these heads would
have a natural immunity to yell
lows. The theory was that the
progeny of these individual heads
would continue to develop the i'm
munity to a large degree and this
has worked out in fact.
In 1910 when the Wisconsin cab
bage growers were diSheartened
and about to abandon the industry,
Dr.. Jones selected a single head
fro ma 1O-acre field owned by w.
J. Hansche of Kenosha county.
Cabbage is a biennial and it took
two years for the seed to develop,
but the ultimate seeds from this
single head also proved TO have
immunity to the yellows.
They were planted and carefully
conserved and studied and from
this single head was developed the
Wisconsin Hollander cabbage, a
strain that grows luxuriantly in
the worst yellow and diseased
land.
A ]. Piper. Broesch Brothers,
Walker Brothers and a few other
lake shore truck growers were also
conducting similar experiments and
establishing the principle that by
selection and elimination immun-
ity could be developed.
Up to this year, almOstno seed of
the disease resistant strain was
sent out of the state, although cab
bage growers everywhere who had
watched the experiments, clamored
for it. There was not enough seed
yet to supply Wisconsin nor in fact
any nor than for use for further
growth of seed cabbage. This
year the seed is being distributed
by the College OF Agriculture of the
university to other experiment sta
tions and colleges where it will be
used by them in overcoming their
yellow infected cabbage land.

dangers which might ensue from

The American delegation feels
that the naval experts who have
worked out the ratios of existing
strength as between the japanese
and American navy know what they
are talking about and that If the
truth were acknowledged the ratio
OF 5-5-3 is much more generous
than a strict Interpretation of ex-
listing strength really calls for.
Feeling that way, it is not surpris-
ing that the Americans will not
c-ountenance a 10-10-7 ratio.
The conference is having it's ups
and downs, its exasperating de-
lays and discouragements but rela-
lively speaking they are infinites-
imal compared to the multiplicity
Of differences which developed at
the Paris conference. And the
progress being made here, slow
as it may seem to those anxious for
quick results, is rapidity itself
compared to the Paris procedure.
The most surprising thing about
the whole conference thus far is
the fact that the Far Eastern queS-
ions are being disposed of more
quickly than most Far Eastern ex-
perts ever dreamed. Perhaps this
Il because the conference started
out with definite principles and is
simply trying to apply them to sps-
clhc cases. Perhaps it is because
Japan herself is not so much of
an obstacle to agreement as some
people thought she would be. Aft
er all it is much more to the in
terest Of Japan that an agreement
should be reached on Far Eastern
questions than it is to any other
power here except possibly China.
For it is evident to the Japanese
that they can accomplish little By
direct negotiations with the Chi
nese because of the latter's in
terminable distrust of everything
Japanese. Whatever is settled
there, therefore, is so much gain
ed in the cause of Far Eastern
peace. Many of the questions on
the program will of course not be
disposed Of in Washington but will
be left to some tribunal to decide.
Yet a start will be made on all of
them.
Jap Attitude is Key.
From the beginning the attitude
OF Japan has been the key to the
words success or failure" at
this conference but the japanese
have given evidence in more ways
than one that they will not take
the responsibility before the world
Of breaking up the Washington con-
ference and placing themselves in
a position of moral isolation which
would be permanently injurious to
plans for expansion. All
agreements reached are a comprO-
mise and the American government
thought it would save time by put
ting out a compromise at the first
session. The Hughes naval pro-
gram is not .natiOnalistic but is
worked out on a basis that is felt
to be fair for all nations. That's
why there will be no r~ecessions.
The Japanese and British are fully
expected to announce their COM
piete acceptance at a plenary ses
sion the latter part of next week.

Allarico Valle's Return for 1920
False, Made None in 1921,
Prosecutor Saws

Allarico Vale, manufacturer of per-
fume at AZ West Forty-second Street,
who lives on Arthur Avenue, the Bronx,
was arraigned before Samuel M. Hitch
cock, United States Commissioner, yes.
terday, charged with having made a
false income tax return for 1920 and
with vaing failed to make any return
for 1919. He was held in 100000 bail
for examination. The bail afterward
was reduced to $4,000.
According to David v. Cahill, Assist
ant United States Attorney, Vale rem
dered his 1920 return so as to show
that he owed the government 81, and
paid that amount, whereas it is alleged
ne should have paid $1o1,oo In 1919,
Cahill charged, Vale failed to make
any return, although he should have
paid the government $4,000 thai year,
After examination had shown that was
the amount he owed, Vale paid it, said
Cahill. ~
Bail was fixed at $1,000 when Mr..
Cahill told the Commissioner that
Yale recently had sent his family to
europe and he feared that he intende
following them.
The matter of bail was taken before
Judge John C. Knox, in the Federal
Court, after the hearing, by Harold A.
Content, attorney for Vale. After ar
gument Judge Knox reduced the sum
TO $4,000 This amount Vale fur
nlshed through a bonding company.
