COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
RED, WHITE AND BLUE CORN.
(From The MorgantoWn New Do
n1inionA

There have been many interest
ing and diverting experiments in
plant production in the last few
years, but the announcement that
a Northwestern University profess
sor has discovered the secret of
growing a red, white and blue
breed Of corn tops them all. 1t is
said that the professor was expect
ing to eat some of his patriotic
maize on the Fourth Of July, as an
especially tasteful celebration. Al
though the colors thus far are pro
duced unevenly, the story goes
that the inventor expects to per
feet his product before long so
that the kernels will grow in solid
rows of color.
SO far as the average mind can
see, there is no very great advant
age in frowing corn which looks
like the national flag. but the sug-
gestion of new possibilities in the
way of influencing plant life which
this gay corn reveals are of much
interest and possibly of value. Out
Of many such playful undertaking
seemingly unimportant, has come a
discovery which Illuminated pro
fession or an art or revolutionized

Shall we have blue potatoes

carrots? When my lady wishes tC

PART-TlME SCHOOLS FOR
WORKING CHILDREN.
(From The Fairmont Tines

One Of the most progressive of
the recent movements in compuls-
Dry education has been the passage
by many States Of continuation
school laws, which afford a child
who has left school for employment
opportunity for further education
by providing part-time compulsory
schooling for a specified number of
hours each week Some of these
laws apply to unemployed children
or to children who are no longer
subject to day school attendance
requirements. A brief analysis of

HIGHWAYS MUST BE SAFE.

(From The Wheeling inteligencer)
While there will be no disposition
to rejoice over the misfortune of
former Mayor Calvert Of Cambridge,
who has been sentenced to a prison
term for shooting at an autoist sus-
pected of carrying liquor, the action
of the court will be generally APP
proved. To sanction such shootings
would be to make the highways UNI
safe for automobile travel.
Mayor Calvert was one of a party
of five men who are alleged to have
shot Thomas McNiece of Barnes
vile, who was riding along the high
way in company with woman
friend. The party are said to have
believed that McNiece was a whisk-
ey runner for whom they were look
ing. Even if their belief was en-
tirely genuine, their failure to make
identification positive before open
ing fire was inexcusable. Men can
be arrested on suspicion, but they
cannot be legally killed on suspic
ion, especially when the crime Of
which they are suspected is one OF
small importance.

By Jnited Press:
MONTREAL, April 25.-Lord
Shaughnessy. former president Of the
Canadian Pacific today addressed a
long communication to Premier
Meighen. setting forth his views on
the best method for solving the
Grand Trunk and Canadian national
railways problem in Canada.
He makes plain that the opinions
set forth in his communication are
purely personal and far from being
influenced by the controllers of the
Canadian Pacific have not yet been
communicated TO them.
Lord Shaughnessy points out that
his ideas are the same as those he
outlined in a similar communication
in 1917 TO Sir Robert Borden except
that they are brought up 10 date.
Shaughnessy said that the Grand
Trunk If relieved OF the burden OF
the Grand Trunk Pacific should in
normal tiTes be in r position to pay
interest on its securities that take
precedence of the common stock
but a return OF the comuon stock
appears 10 be exceedingly remote in
any circumstances. This system is
however. Of national importance. he
poin,s out and IL would be unfor-
tunate from a Canadian stand point
II. hampered BY the methods and
ambitions Of previous managements
the company should be kept IN
state Of embarra ssment and should
be prevented from carrying plans
for increased efficiency and eco
nOmy.
The baron suggests that il would
be wise for the Dominion govern
ment 10 drop all measures looking
20 the acquisition or control OF the
Grand Trunk and, 10 relieve that
company OF all obligations IN con-
nection with the Grand Trunk Pa
cific. The Canadian northern sys-
tenn in the opinion OF Shaughnessy,
by over expansion was made a hope
less business proposition.
Shaughnessy suggests that the
lines be operated by the Canadian
Pacific and pay the shareholders in
perpetuity a fixed annual dividend.

DUNN SHARES EN-

Manager of Baltimore Orioles
Uncovers Many Future
Diamond Greats.

BALTIMORE. Md, April 25 -
Jack Dunn, Baltimore Oriole boss.
like Connie Mack Of the Athletics,
Is a star developer OF young ball
players.
He has sent up some Of the most
brilliant performers the diamond
game has known.
The average fan would naturally
conclude that Dunn employees a
wonderful scouting system. He has
no scouting system.
The only scouts who beat the
brush for promising Orioles are the
personal friends of Dunn-men in
all walks Of life Dunnie has them
in large numbers.
Gets Tips on Players

It is a travelling man who tips me

there is to tt"
For this same service big league
ball clubs spend thousands Of dol
lars a year.
They employ veteran baseball
men-men Of brains-who scour the
woods and sand lots for youthful
talent. And not always dc they sue
ceed in such measure as does the
Baltimore man.
Jack is a great believer in ANA
teur and semi-pro baseball.
He lends every encouragement to
the formation of leagues among the
youth of the city. And he watches
their ranks closely.
But he doesn't agree with John
McGraw and Fred Mitchell on the

Dunn.
1T takes too much Of the mana

should have a man with nothing
else on his mind. Then he might
discover talent now and then.
But 1 don't believe the time and
expense would justify such a course
in Baltimore.
