To Preserve Washington Palm Groves

CONGRESS has graciously allowed
the American people to be pre-
sented with a new national mOnu-
ment. 1t is in Riverside county, Cali
fornia, and it's purpose is to preserve
some fine specimens of the rare Wash
ington palm. Congress says the peo-
pie may have it when the donors fur
nish the money to pay the Indians
for the land. The senate has passed
house bill 1893. Senator Johnson of
California called up the bill and said {:
"The monument is desired in order
to preserve what is probably the only
remaining large groves Of natural
wild Washington palms in the United
States. Three adjoining canyons,
Palm, Murray and Andreas, each con-
tanning an extensive grove of these
desert palms, are embraced within the
area Of the proposed monument.
Many other specimens of desert flora
of major scientific interest are also
to be found there. The bill has the
approval of the Department of the
Interior, including the bureau Of In
dian affairs. 1t safeguards the In
dams and it costs the government
nothing at ALL"

Potato growers in the northern Sec
ton of the country use different
methods of storing their crops through
the winter. Some employ the old
method of a straw-lined trench with
a straw covering and earth thrown
over it. Others have built of timber
or concrete underground storage cell
lars. In some sections, notably Maine
where huge crops of potatoes are
grown, the tubers are carried through
winter, or until such time as they are
marketed, in warehouses which are
provided with artificial heat. In view
Of these facts, investigators for the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture say, an intensive study of the
subject has not been made, and not
much reliable data available.
The reason for this lack of inten-
sive study are given by William Stuart

1t will be noted that the exterior
walls of the building are covered with
drop siding, nailed to the 2X4-lncn
studs. Ship-lap sheathing is nailed to
the inside of the studs, providing
finch air space between the interior
and exterior walls. This acts as an
insulation against heat and cold and
also provides means for air circula,
ton. A 22x2-inch timber nailed to the
inside wall provides mailing space for
the walls of the storage bins, which
are of crib siding, permitting
circulation Of air through the walls
of the bins. The floor of the building
is laid of 1x6-inch matched flooring.
The building provides space for
seven bins, each by 8 feet, inside
measurement. 1t is considered the
best practice to extend the walls OF
the bins up only six feet, to permit
ease In filling and emptying and to
provide plenty of air space above.

and Storage Warehouses" "When
potatoes are plentiful and relatively
cheap" says the bulletin, little atten-
ton is given to such wastage and loss
as usually occur in storage; in fact, a
considerable loss was considered in
evitable With high prices and scare
ity of supply the need of conserv-
ing the entire production for seed
and food purposes is of the utmost inn
portance."
However, it has been demonstrated
the bulletin continues, that losses in
storage can be largely prevented by
the proper construction and intelligent
management of storage houses. When
it is considered that potatoes are one
of the most important food crops in
the United States, it is sheer economic
waste to fail to provide proper means
of conserving the crop.
The primary object of storage is to
hold potatoes, which are more or less
perishable, in a salable condition

Claims of Americans Against Germany

A BILL to provide for the payment
of American claims against Ger
many has been introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Underwood (Ala.),
Democratic leader.
1t is provided that American claims
shall be adjudicated by commission,
and unless otherwise satisfied paid
out of the German property in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Versailles treaty and the separate
treaty of peace between the United
States and Germany.
The bill creates a commission to be
known as the enemy property claims
commission, composed of six commits
sioners to be appointed by the Presi-
dent, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the senate. The commission
would have practically all the powers
of a United States court. Any ques-
ton of sufficient Importance to war
rant such action would be settled by
the Supreme court.
The German property is TO be clas-
sified and American claims paid out
of the several classes Of property in
their order, each class to be exhausted
before the funds of another class are
touched.

Roger Sullivan, Former Engineer, Dis
abled in World War, Successful
in Camera Work.

The fact that he was an engineer
before the war may help him to un-
derstand the mechanism of a motion
picture camera, but the knowledge Of
proper lighting effects and other
things incident to the successful pro-
duction of motion pictures had to be
learned by Roger Sullivan, after he
was seriously disabled in the World
war.
Sullivan was wounded while operat-
ing with the United Naval forces in
France. After the war, young Sulli-
van found that his injuries were such
that he could not successfully "carry
on" as an engineer. Under the super
vision eof the q. S. Veterans bureau,
he entered school of photography
in New York and has completed a
course in motion picture making and

THE FLOWERS OF THE LEGION
American Daisy and French Poppy
Official Poses of Both Branches
of the Organization.

There has been some confusion In
the minds of Americans in general
as to the status Of the daisy and the
poppy In connection with the Ameri-
can Legion and the American Legion
Auxiliary.
The daisy is the Legion's official
flower; the poppy is the Auxiliary's
memorial flower. The misunderstand-
ing arose in the first place, because
in it's early days the Legion did adopt
the poppy Of France as it's flower.
But at it's Kansas City convention the
American Legion adopted the daisy
as it's official flower on the grounds
that the daisy is an American flower
and the poppy Of Flanders is avail
able for use only in artificial form.
The Legion Auxiliary has taken adj
vantage of the very fact that the poppy
is not available as real flower to buy
artificial flowers made by disabled sol
diers in hospitals. The Massachu-
setts Legion and Auxiliary netted
something over $4,000 from the sale
of artificial peoples, last winter. This
money was used to better the condi-
lions Of sick and needy veterans OF
the World war.
The Legion is making every effort
TO interest the children of America in
the cultivation of flowers by appeal
ing to their patriotism and to their
natural affection for such flower as
the American Legion's American
daisy.

concerned, have been disappointing, it
is frankly admitted in administration
circles.
The prospect is extremely uncer-
tain. 1t is no longer a secret that the
various nations are jockeying with
each other for advantageous positions
in the refunding negotiations.
That is the situation that the for
eign debt refunding commission, made
up of Secretary of State Hughes, Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mellon, Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover, Senator
Smoot, Utah, and Representative
Burton, Ohio, finds itself in several
months after it's creation.
1t is understood here that Great
Britain, which has announced her in
tention to pay her obligations to the
United States looks to France to set
tie her obligations to England, and
France in turn looks to Germany to
make good on her Preparations before
she pays Great Britain. Furthermore,
England expects to settle ON as good
terms as any Of the creditors of the

anything will be done for months TO

CAN PREVENT
COAL SHORTAGE
IMMEDIATE RESUMPTION OF
PRODUCTION WILL AVERT
FUEL TROUBLE.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 19-
Early resumption of coal production
in the union fields covered by the
Cleveland agreement was looked to
today by administration officials to
avert fuel troubles next winter.
If the miners in those fields re-
turn to work within a few days, Sec
retary Hoover declared, there

be some minor inconvenience. Pro-
duction of approximately 100000
tons of coal weekly, made up of
about four-fifths bituminous and
one-fifth anthracite, will be needed
according to Federal Fuel Distribu-
tor Spencer.
Even with adequate production.
Mr.. Hoover asserted, action by CON
gress will be necessary to enable
federal price control temporarily and
to facilitate distribution of anthra-
cite and to supply needs of the
northwest.
Collapse of the fair price agree
ments made with producing opera
tors, when the union mines resume
production, was indicated by Mr..
Hoover. There would be then rs or
80 districts, he explained, to be held
into line as to prices by voluntary
means which would be an "infeasible
machine"
Nevertheless, Mr.. Hoover declac-
ed, the results of the fair price
agreements thus far have constitut-
ed a remarkable showing" with
z per cent of the coal now moving
being handled under the established
maximums of from $22O to $2.7s a
ton. Difficulties in the price situa-
tion, he asserted, arose from the 9th
er 30 per cent, which gave rise to
the charges of profiteering while OPP
