BRAND STILL .
.HUNTSCAB|NET
IPatchy Sort of Compromise
Seen In His Appointment As
French Premier.
BY c. F. BERTELLI.
Universal Service.

PARIS, Jan. 16.-Owing to the re-
luctance on the part of President
Millerand to accede to the expressed
desire of the majority of the Senate
by appointing former President Ray
mond Poincare head of the new gov
eminent because he disagrees with
the latter's certain policy of "the
iron hand" in dealing with Germany.
The solution of the governmental
crisis today appeared still to be in
much doubt.
NO CABINET IN SIGHT.
A patchy sort OF compromise for a
rruitless day of cabinet building was
arrived at yesterday when Mr.. Miller
and asked Aristide BRAND a former
premier to form a ministry. the latter
accepting, but. after five hours of
searching for ministers, meeting with
refusal on all sides. NJ. Brands pros
poets of success in forming Govern
ment to succeed that OF Leagues APP
peared no brighter than those Of
RAUL Peret president of the Chamber
OF Deputies.
The personnel of the new cabinet
was tentatively selected and will be
finally decided upon at a conference
of President Miller and Premier Bril-
and today.
The tentative personnel was an
nounced as follows:
BRAND, premier and foreign affairs;
Barthou. war; Guischau, marine;
Arago, agriculture; Loucheur, finance,
and Bannavay, public health.
In the Senate lobby it was cons d.
cred most doubtful that BRAND Will
be able to group around himself suf-
fcient responsible statesmen capable
OF forming a strong cabinet to deal
with the grave international problems
now held in allegiance. On the other
hand. IL was considered certain that
neither NJ. Poincare nor Rene Vivaani,
another eN-premier, would consent to
accept the post as head of a new adj
ministration.
CLOSER 4. s. RELATIONS.
Should M BRAND succeed. however,
in bringing n government together,
his advent to power would be sig

tons with the United states, and fall

BOYIsH IMPRESSIONS.
That's the kind of a far off silent
affection or hero worship / had for
Jim Corbett away back in the days
before he fought John l.. Sullivan. l
had begun my career behind the foot
lights and was tIst then one-half of a
song and dance team that was cking
out precarious existence on the
small time circuits. We were playing
at Asbury Park and l heard that the
famous James j. Corbett who was
soon to meet the mighty champion
John l.. was training there for his
bout.
Being passionately fond of boxing l
lost no time in searching out the tram
ing quarters for a peep at the chal-
1enger. He was playing handball and
as j gaZed with eyes that must have
expressed awe and devotion, the ball
suddenly caromed off the wall and
over the fence. In a minute / was
right in the midst of a lively scramble
for that ball with a young army OF
kids and I captured it. The JOY that
swept over me when the coming cham
pion took it from my hand and re-
warded me with a hearty .handclasp
and thank you" is still fresh in my
memory. No monarch could have
made me feel happier. Such are
youthful impressions.

ANY KIND OF LIGHT
Polk County Resident Discovers Pro-
 cess to Make Shades for Lights.

Little Rock, April -(Special) -
 Governor McRae is in receipt of a letter from Charles R. Montgomery Of Mena who says that he has dis
 covered a process by which he can at
 will place any shade of light under
 any kind of plant and directly effect
 the color of the bloom as we'll as the
 frdit. He says that in some instances
 it works like magic, the effect is so
 great He has found the solution to
 the color mystery in plant life and
 claims to be able to apply all con-
 trol it at will. Being able to supply
 any amount of any or all colors to discovery is highly practical in or
 chards, gardens, flowers and truck growing. It is one of the most effec- tive fertilizers furnishing the plant life with just what it requires for healthy growth and the highest pro- duction. It also gives the plant greater power OI reSlSCdHce to ueS- tructive insect life. When applied to a rose or other flower, it perfects the color and. makes it more beautiful with softer and richer tints. He has not yet patented his process, but ex- poets to do so, and in the meantime wants an opportunity of demonstrat- ing his process on some of the state demonstration farms. "If I can do what I claim for this," say he. you can see it ought to be on the market at the earliest possible date"
