Area of Sugar
 Cane Estimated

Washington, Aug. 22-(By The A P.)-The area of sugar cane, NOT in- eluding sorghum cane, in the eight principal states producing sugar is estimated by the U- s. Department of Agriculture to be 524,2 200 acres, or about 90 per cent. of the harvested cane acreage of 1921. This is a preliminary estimate and includes the acreage intended to be harvested for seed and sirup, as well as for su- gar.
 The acreage that will be harvested for seed can not be satisfactorily es- timated at this time, it was said, as it depends largely on the price received for sirup and on other factors not yet operative.
 Louisiana has 2s5,50o acres planted to cane this year, according to the preliminary estimate, or more than one-half the total acreage of the eight states. Alabama has 79,00O acres, Georgia, 55.o00, Mississippi. and Arkensas 2.5O0.
 Crevassas in levees along the Mis- sissippi river and other rivers are re- ported to have destroyed 9,760 acres of cane in Louisiana. and flood in the Rio Grande valley destroyed a large part of the cane in that part of TexSsS.

HOneymOOns And
 Convention Will
 Go Hand In Hand

New Orleans, Aug. 22-NationaI conventions and honeymoons are sel- dom taken together, but the American Legion national convention is face to face with the problem of creating a Gretna Green for a number of Legion men who attend the national gather ing in New Orleans, October 1920, inclusive.
 The problem arose with the receipt of a letter from a Legion member in Brocket, N. D., asking for information in regard to the holding of marriages during the convention.
 Can marriage take place under the auspices of the American Legion at the convention in New Orleans this year or not?" the North Dakota doughboy queries. 'If so, I'd like to know full details about everything like dress to be worn, where to get the license; also what time to be there.'
 During the Legion convention in Kansas City last year, twenty couples were married in convention hall by the Legion national chaplain The Kansas City committee paid for the marriage licenses and local merchants provided wedding rings and numerous presents.
 we had not considered duplicating the<Kansas City free marriage offer this year." T. Semmes Walms1ey, con vention chairman, has stated. How ever, the Legion is rather partial to the institution of matrimony and our committee will assist those comrades aspiring to that estate with all the facilities at our disposal"

 Washington At Sea.
 Washington, Aug. 22-'Hopeful for peace but preparing for trouble"
 This summed up the attitude of the Administration today in the railroad strike as President Harding met with his cabinet for another round table discussion of the industrial situation and the policies that the governme ent may be compelled to put into effect If tomorrow's joint conference be- leaders fails to establish the desired peace in the transp industry.
 The war-like utterances of the eastern executives. notably L. F.Loree and W. W. Atterbury, did not ma teriaIly jar the optimism that exists in government circles that a basis of ad- justment will be established this week. It has been expected all along, a cabi- net oincer saio' tnaC the eastern executives would oppose settlement of the strike on any but their own terms. and, consequently, the "sur- render'' attitude of the "die hards'' indicates little change in the situation.
 Secretaries Davis and Hoover took today's cabinet meeting reports show ing steady betterment in the coal situation. Already bituminous pro- duction is picking up as a result of the Cleveland agreement, and reports from government observers indicate an anthracite agreement is at hand.

Stress Effects Of
 Forest Fires On Game Preservation

Washington, Aug. 22.-(By the A. Pl-Of interest, in connection with nres in several sections of the coun- try, is a circular of the Biological Survey of the U. s. Department of Agriculture stressing the effect of such fires On game and game preser- vat1on- A fire which rages over any large area destroys not only the birds and other game. themselves, but their Iood and shelter; and though one take little interest in forest fire pre- ventlon for the sake of preserving the trees, he may be more interested in saving the game and fish.
 Decrease of one or both of the eIe- ments Of food and shelter means a corresponding decrease in the num- Der of valuable wild creatures The belief that burning over in certain localities is beneficial because it pro notes new grass, ignores the fact that the grass thus obtained does not com pensate for the destruction of the trees and shelter and food required by the animals, says the Survey. Partridges in particular suffer from forest or brush fires. When their faVorite places are burned over and their food and shelter are gone they are obliged to seek new localities and face new dangers.
 1ndiscriminate setting of spring fires in the Southern States dislodges deer. opossums, raccoonS, foxes, squir- AOASS 4e1OD1tS anu OlaSr dnlI1alS ana endangers ground nesting birds in the timber, such as woodcock, pheasant, wild turkey and the wipjpoor-Will. The woodcock is in some danger of extermination at the present time, it is pointed out, and deserves all possible protection.
 In seasons of drought forest fires even invade marshyS places and drive out fur bearing animals as well as waterfowl, and shorebirds, it has been found. Many think that burning re- suits in only temporary inconvenience to the game and do not realize that the food of many birds is largely the seed and berries of the year before.
 Burning brush also eliminates for months all shelter from natural ene- mics.
 Burning of the ground cover in for ests of longleaf and shortleaf pine kills the young trees as they emerge and results in thin, struggling growth. The burning of timber and other ground cover which should absorb and retain moisture also accelerates the run-on and effects the stream flow at different seasons to such an extent that the supply of fish may be mater ial1y decreased.

Music As Aid
 In Milking Long Has Been Utilized

That music as an aid in the milk ing of COWS long has been recognized IS revealed in passage in Tess Of the DUrbervilles, by Thomas liar
 When Tess first goes as milkmaid to a big dairy farm in Wessex it is noticed that the cowds do not sgive down. their milk as usual. Jana than Kail attributes this to the pres ence of a new hand among the milk CTS. and Dairyman Crick calls out: 'ffolks. we must lift up @ slave or two-that's the only cure fort" "were often resorted to in dairies hereabout as an eHticement to the cows when they showed signs of with holding their usual yield; and the into melody-in purely businesslike tones, it is true, and with no great spontaneity; the result, according to their own belief being a decided inn provement during the songs continu- ance. When they had gone through fourteen or fifteen verses of cheer full ballad about a murderer who>was afraid to go to bed in the dark be- cause he saw certain birthstone flames around him, one of the male mixers said:
 CT wish singing on the stoop did not use up so much of a mans wind! !! You should get your harp, sir: not but what fiddle is best"
 Dafryman Crck agrees that 'the ere 8 nothing like a fiddle" and proceeds to relate an incident in which mu- sfcian. returning home from a we'd ding on a moon light night, was sav- ed from an infuriated bull by playing on his violin. He kept the animal at bay across an entire field, backing toward a hedge as he played. Every time he stopped the bull lunged for ward, halting the moment a new tune was played.
 Well, 'tis quite true, sir, whether or no,'' said Dairyman Cricks at the end of his story. 'I knowed the man well"

 A pilgrim train bound for Lourdes was waiting in the station at Dijon and several pilgrims had crossed the tracks to the refreshment room when the whistle called them back. Among tenn was a paralyzed man who could only move with difficulty even with the aid of two crutches. As he was between the rails on his way back an express train was seen to be entering the station. A cry of horror went up from tose who saw his dangerous po- sition, but the man who had hobbled half way across with his crutches, now put them under his arm and ran for safety, escaping what seemed certain death

Divorce Case
 Over Religion

Hartford, Aug. 22-Philip R. Levy of Elcentro. Cal, a former resident of this city. has brought suit for di- vorce against his wife, living here. on the grounds of cruelty.
 The papers in the case were for warded to Hartford from the Califor- mia town yesterday According to the papers Levy bases his complaint on the fact that his wife is an Ortho- dox Jew and has humiHated him by insisting that he observe the tenets of the faith. He charges that she Is religious fanatic and so extreme ly religious that she will not permit the plaintiff to eat, walk, or act in any manner contrary to the beliefs of the Jewish faith; that he Is American born and has been brought up Sac- cording to the customs and manners of an American.
 About a year ago Levy turned his business and property into cash and left the city. The divorce action now discloses his present where abOutS,
