When Mr.. Robert Hervey Randolph,
alias Slim Hervey, chauffeur, vice Pat

Cab company's No. 1893, skidded that
vehicle disastrously to the curb in
front of the Poppy club and, as a re-
suit Of his criminal negligence, in con-
junction with Miss Imogene Pamela
Thornton's reprehensible peeking oc-
cupation, hurled that young lady to the
middle of the sidewalk on her hands

HOW SCIENTISTS
EXAMINE SOILS.
Survey Of important Work Of One
OF Branches of Department
Of Agriculture.
STUDIED VARIED ACTIVITIES
Bureau Took Active Part With Geo.
logical Survey In Nationwide
Search for Deposits Of Nj.
trates and Potash.

During the twenty years Of Its
existence, the bureau Of soils, United
States department of agriculture, has
studied the chemical constituents Of
the soils Of all parts of the country. It
has investigated these constituents
qualitatively and quantitatively, show
ing their relation to one another and
to plants, their solubility and perna-
,nency, and the manner Of their func-
tioning. It has studied the problem
of alkali-that condition arising where
soils contain an excess of soluble salts
and devised methods for measuring
the content Of alkali In the field and
for eliminating 1t under field condi-
lions. It has studied hardpans, ex-
planned the ann Of their formation,
and suggested the "a of improving
lands affected with the different sorts.
These various activities have involved
the making Of thousands of analyses
and the devising of much apparatus.
Public Given Advice and Counsel.
Advice and counsel is given by the
bureau to the public on all matters
connected with soil chemistry. The
bureau has also investigated the phys
zeal properties Of soils. It has devised
apparatus FOR measuringsthe tempera-
ture Of soils, the movement Of water
and of air and other gases in soils.
The absorption Of water, the extent
and rate of capillary action, the e.
feet of pressure on the concentration
of the nutrient solution, and on the
retention of that solution in the soil,
the relation of soils to erosion, and
many kindred problems have been
worked upon. H..
The bureau has also worked upon
the problem Of the fixation of nitrogen
found in the air in it's experimental
factory at Arlington, much advance
having been made. Carried to its Iogi-
cal conclusion this move will result
in supplying easily all the nitrogen
the country needs In agriculture and
industry.
Soil surveys have been made in all
the states of the union. The surveys
are Of two kinds: detailed surveys On
the scale Of -one inch to the mile u.s.
ually covering county units, and re-
c~onnoissance surveys much more. gen.
eral in character, made on scales Of
four to six inches to the mile and

How many vulgar venrcfrs ~ hire
were blessed by the transient presence
of Miss Thornton during the next seven
hours Is a matter of gross mathematics
and consequently beneath the ken of
an intelligence that can chat along
about nice things like Pamela and Rob
ert Randolph for pure pleasure and
subsequently sell the remarks for cold
cash. Five minutes to spot a lively
cab, five minutes to ticket the driver
and pile him or the discard, two more
to find her purse, three more to look
innocent then start all over again.
Divide seven times sixty minutes by
all that. and you've got her number.
Let us leave the statistical fiend and
pass on to ven o'clock of the near
Christmas evening when Miss Thorn
ton was momentarily out OF q cab
and strolling down the slope of the
hump In West Fifty-seventh street. A
mushy snowman had just begun to
fall, giving anyone with the price a
splendid excuse for taking a cab any
where for anywhere. Before the portal
Of the Great Northern Lights squatted
four taxis in a line. In the drivers
seat Of the rearmost of these, and con-
s%equently the last on the rank, a lank
human being was buried in an enor-
nous turned-up collar rooted by 4
chauffeur's cap set at an angle Of
slumber.
Pamela, the very moment her eyes
fell on the recumbent figure, felt that
short quick leap Of the blood in her
veins which Is ordinarily termed a
"hunch." She longed to step forward
and raise the yelling headgear, but she
dared not, for not only vas the hotel
starter on the job but also the window
shades of the Poppy club next door
were still elevated by special request,
owing to the slippery state Of the side
walk IN conjunction with the home
Ward-holinh stream Of dreSS~m0delS.
AS Il consequence. she was necpH>ar-
fly content With opening the car door
for herself and stepping in. The starter
politely begged her to pass to She taxi

"Hil You Slim Hervey! |" yelled the
starter. "Come back here an sign up
for the junkl"
In the meantime, which wasn't
much mor than the twinkling Of an
eye, three perennial near-youths
dashed down the steps Of the Poppy
club to the assistance of the loveliest
trouble that had ever sent out an 8.
o. s. signal in the face Of ready help
to the falling. Individually and col
lectively, they raised the c~urly-haired
vision to it's feet.
1T was Mr.. Randolph" gasped the
maiden, in evident distress, land I've
been looking for him for weeks"
mot Bobby" exclaimed Mr.. Near
ton.
mot Herv!" calculated Mr.. verries.
"Not Randy |" interjected MI. Berry.
Pamela nodded three times, but her
eyes failed to show wonder. Nowadays
everybody she ran into seemed to
know everybody she knew by his first
name.
Excuse me-" said Mr.. Nearton, in
tent on getting there first with a re-
mark-any remark "does he owe you
money, too"
The effect was electrical. Miss
Thornton assumed a freezing dignity.
She fixed Mr.. Nearton with steady
eyes.
"How much does Mr.. Randolph owe
your" she asked.
"Only tw-twenty," babbled Mr.. Near
ton.
"Well, here It is," said Pamela, draw
ing a yellowback from her chatelaina
and thrusting 1t into Mr.. Nearton's
nerveless hand. IT happen to owe Mr..
Randolph a great deal more than that"
Wherewith she turned and made for
the r and the nearest telephone
booth.
Pamela was short Of breath when
she reached the telephone, but she
managed to get Mr.. Milyuns' residence
on the wire and learned that he was
detained at the office. She called up
that safe den Of the world-be undis-
turbed and connected with a new and
strange drawl.
"You've got the wrong number, lady.
This Mr.. Milyuns went home early to
celebrate his silver wedding"
"Will you put me through to MI.
Borden Milyuns," asked Pamela, in a
sugar-sweet voice, Tor do you really
want to start looking for another job7"
"How do I know you know him
Miss Hurry, did you say? The Office
boy amt here, so I can't ask him.
Leave me your number, an I'll have
him call you"
"Know him" gulped Pamela, in a
rage. "Why, I've k-kissed him !"
"Kissed Mr.. Milyuns !" responded
the voice, taking sudden notice. "Well,
dearie, why didn't you say so? I
thought you was n Of them high
brow danes. If it's a matter of kissin'
the boss over the wire, why just you 60
to 1t. I won't listen-oh. no.!
And a moment later, Pamela. in a
streamline body:
"Oh, Mr.. Milyuns, this is Pamela
and I've found him! Yes; Randy
Mr.. Randolph. . No; he got away!
-. Yes. He's going under the name
Of Slim Hervey and he vas driving the
Village Cab company's No. 1893, and
he smashed it on the curb just in front
of that horrid Poppy club. and when
he saw me, he ran: Oh, you will
get him. won't you? Please hurry.
And now, if you'll hang up, 1 have a
few words to say to that new tele-
phone girl Of yours. Oh, no! you
needn't tell her; I can feel her sagging
on the wire. Oh, will you? Oh.
thank you! It isn't as If she didn't
deserve It."

Nothing would have happened to
Miss Thornton had she been sitting
back in a ladylike manner, but at the
moment of the cabs collision with the

flew open with the shock, she also few

terests TO the time Of twelve billion
dollars. 1t may be thought that It was
Slim Hervey's intention to watt this
precious pair to some bosky retreat,
lover them with leaves, and hold them
for ransom, but such was not the case.
He desired nothing from these two
p~otentates among a ace Of 1ucre
giants beyond what might come to him
through his ever-open speaking slot.
This is all he heard:
"Lewisfader is getting kind Of
fresh"
"That's what I been thinkin'.".
"When?"
"What about Friday, when the Bun
kers-Bollweevil report comes QUIT"
"Good idea! Friday 1t is"
Not another word, but. as it hap
pencd. it was enough to start Mr.. Ran
dolph honking uptown the moment he
had dropped his laconic fares at their
next board meeting. No one had to
tell him who Lewisfader was; he had
been to college with that financier's
son, and If there was one thing above
all others that said offspring was good
at, it was blowing his fathers horn.
-Lewisfader was this and Lewisfader
was that, but principally and especial
ly he was the central rock in the money
maelstrom known to the stock market
as "Amal. 1. s. & Co." which had only
lately dared to swell it's p]ortentous
belly in the company of the most de-
veloped and vicious saurians Of the
financial world.
All the way uptown, Mr. Randolph's
face was concentrated in the nearest
approach to q frown Of which it was
capable. He vas not, however, weigh
ing the substance of what he had heard
this way and that, for the simple rea-
son that the moment the one word,
'Lewisfader," had reached his ears, he
had seen the great light and grasped
his bunch beyond any thought of look
ing back. That part Of it was settled;
what worried him now was the amount
OF ways and means in his pocket. By
thinking very hard, he added up his
capital without bringing it forth to the
light Of day. The exact sum was six
ty-eight dollars and fifty cents.
No sooner had he passed the test In
mental arithmetic than he drew up a
little beyond the front door of the Rock
q club. He started to leave his cab,
paused, considered, and then deliber-
ately lowered the flag. As he entered
the lobby of the club, four scandalized
fronts leaped to bar his way. They
asked him a variety of biting ques-
tons: Did he think It was q night
lunchwagon? Which chambermaid
was he calling on? Was he looking for
Mills hotel?
.Herbert!" roared Mr.. Randolph.
The functionary named, head door
man for the. Rocket club since first 1t
started on its appropriately meteoric
career, !leaped from his dignified seat
on the s0milolent side lines and stared
vide eyed at the servile apparitlon
that had dared shout the open sesame
to that inviolate portal.
Mr.. Randolph" he gasped at last,
and the stunned fronts started to stink
away.
Hold on, there! r said Nj. Randolph,
and Invested himself Of cap to one,
overcoat to anothen gloves to the third,
aud asked the fourth for a light. tlHer-
bert" he continued. In m%odulated
tones, the cab outside IS waiting for !

It.

FIGHTERS FOR DEMOCRACY
AND THEIR REWARD

Congress voted down the PROPOSE
ton for the returned soldiers, which
is the usual thing done in American
history. Read this. from James o.
Meals ''The Workers in American His
tory" respecting the veterans of the
war for American independence, from
1875 to 1888:
''But the last shot had scarcely been
fired when these veterans, retracing
their weary steps homeward, were con-
fronted with terrible situation. 1t is
doubtful whether history affords an
other such example of the shameless
ingratitude displayed by a ruling class
toward its benefactors that the Faith
ers" displayed toward the poor veter-
ans Of the war. Many farmers and la-
borers found that, while they were at
the front risking their lives in the strug-
gle. the wealthy classes were confis-
eating their little farms and household
goods for debts during the war. and
imprisoning thousands for debt"

Every additional acre Of corn.

When similar land had been put 10

case. the yield was increased more than
100 per cent. On rotation plots. ev-

as much grain as that spent on poorly
fortified ground. From the stand
point of the labor the most Of the gain

Der; fertilizers make larger stalks but
no more stalks; the cost Of cutting
and gathering is not increased. and
mot until the corn is hauled to the
husker or to the silage cutter do tie
larger yields mean more labor.
The use of an outside source Of
plant food such as fertilizer, does not
strictly speaking save labor on any in

productiveness of that labor; but
and here is the essential point - Il IS

prepared land does save farm labor
by making it very much more produc-

IF farmer with the same man and
horse labor cost can produce twice the
yield BY skillful cropping and slight
lly increased investment in fertilizers
and seed. this should be very az
tractive manner of increasing profits
Not by invention, nor BY acreage n-
