fame is world wide. His studies have carried him to the far places of the earth, but for number of years he was professor of economic geology at the University of Chicago. and lecturer at Leland Stanford in California He is fellow of the Royal Geographic society, London; and member of all the leading scientific societies of the world. He has done much state and govern ment work. His writings on geology are authoritative. Richard also called Philadelphia his home, but he was much abroad.
 Spencer PenrOse
 Spencer Penrose. pioneer in the Cripple Creek gold fields of Colo rado, still makes his home In that state, at Colorado Springs. He had been in Washington to see his brother just short time before his death. At that time the senator was just as deeply interested in life and in good living as he had ever been and had spent days having an epi- curean dish of diamond back terra pin prepared for the brother from the mountains.
 In politics, in medicine, in geology, and mining engineering the name of Penrose will always live. The three younger brothers of the senator have all had interesting lives. They all graduated, as did Boies, from Harvard, then they all went west Some of them went through the cat tie rustlers' war in Wyoming, all have known the hazards and tri- pmphs of the frontier. The story of these brothers is real story of American life.

 Washington, January 7.--The death of Senator Penrose aud the severely simple burial of this Hast of the senatorial barons" at Philadelphia served to direct public attention to the other Penrose boys who, taken altogether, form probably the most interesting group of brothers in the entire United States. The spotlight of publicity beat so steadily upon Boise Penrose, because of his domi- nance in the affairs of the republican party and national legislature that it left the senator's brothers, each especially distinguished in his own field of endeavor, somewhat obscured in the vast shadows it cast
 But in the great world of science the three brothers of the senator have achieved the success that Boies attained in the world of politics. The family ties among the four Penroses were very strong. Boies was the eld- est by few years and the others looked up to him in much the same way that they had in carrier life re- garded the wisdom and direction of their father When the other Pen rosa boys" pass to the beyond, they, too, will go without regrets and be buried with the same extreme exclu- sion which marked the earthly end of the family head, whc. not quick to make friends, always possessed a wonderful loyalty to those fortunate enough to gain his confidence and re- spect. The remaining brothers will be there to say last good-by. Life was sweet to Senator Penrose, but it was not all. In the most critical days of his early illness he got a great deal of grim humbr out of his condition. Sadness he-never knew.
 pr. Charles Penrose
 Perhaps the best known of the brothers so far as the general public is concerned, is Dr. Charles B. Pen rose of Philadelphia, who attended the senator during the greaaer part of his long illness. No man ranks higher in American medicine than Dr. Pen rose. Author of a number of medical works, a fellow of the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science and member of half score of scientific societies, he retired from active practice a number of years ago to devote himself to medical and scientific research.
 It is rather odd that while the older brother, Boies. took to politics, all three of his surviving brothers were won by the scientific arts. The attainements of Brother Charles" in materia medica have been eoualed by Richard A. F. Penrose' Jr.. in geology, and by Spencer, the youngest of the brothers, in mining engineering.

PET DOGS POPULAR

Berlin, January 7.-Pet dogs have become so popular among the femi- nine population of Berlin that theatre managers have been compelled to in- stall rooms where the dogs may be checked. Some patrons complain that none of the theatres has made simi- lar provision for checking babies. and think this is an unwarranted discrim- ination. During the intermission the women repair to the ''dog room" and feed the animals with bits of sand wishes which it has become the cus- tom for theatregoers to eat between the acts.

NOVEMBER EXPORTS
LARGEST FOR YEAR
Totalled $3s3, 100000 or S12,00o,'
900 Greater Than Octo-

Washington, Dec. 19.- Ameri
can exports in November reached
the highest point o. the year &C

statistics made public today by the
Department of Commerce showing
an export business totalling 1888,
100000.
The November total is $12,000,'

er than the value of commodities
shipped abroad in November last
year.
In comparison with November,
1918, the increase was more than
$138,0OO,000.
A brief statement by the. depart

DOES NOT EXPECT
AMERICA TO MAKE LOAN
Newspapers Reject Tne Idea That a
Loan is Now Possible
To Germany.

London, Dec. 19.-Those news
papers to which the British public
looks for solid and conservative
guidance completely reject the idea
hat an American loan to Germany
is probable, or in her present con-
ditions, possible. The journals base
their skepticism on long reports
from their correspondents in the
United States who appear to have
probed important sources of infor-
nation over the weekend.
The possibility Of American in
tervention in Europe's troubles still
engrosses attention here. Two or
three of the morning papers reiter-
ate with more or less striking en-
bellishment last weeks stories con-
cerning an impending loan The
consensus Of opinion, however, is
that "there is something in the
wind and that there is distinct
possibility that America in some
way that has not been divulgeo
will take hand in helping to- solve
the difficulties which hitherto bat
fled European statesmen.
The Times, while depreciatina
exaggerated optimism, says that the
rumors of American Intervention
doubtless have a substratum Of
fact. The newspaper welcomes indi
cations of "the fresh interest ant
understanding the United States il
showing in European conditions"
! The Morning Post, also welcom
ing the "obviously increasing inter
est" of the United States thinks
America "is beginning to recognize
more clearly. that sooner or late7
her own industrial prosperity mus
be affected by the political and eco
nomic conditions in Europe.
i The Daily News, although it doe
not regard American Intervention
for the present as more than
possibility, says:
ut is highly probable that sucl
intervention would change th'
whole course of events in Europe
In all the comment there is :
clear eagerness to see Intervention
and there are many indications
that this desire is based on a con
fident belief in the nigh American
ideals.

WINTER WHEAT IN
SOUTHERN STATES
South Carolina Has $4,000 Acres
Sown-Condition Above
Average

Washington, Dec. 19.- Winter
wheat sowings this fall, estimated
by the Department of Agriculture
today at 46,O69,0OO acres, are the
third largest ever planted by the
farmers of the country but the con-
dition of the crop is somewhat low,
being S.4 points below the ten
year December 1 averag condition
The crop reporting board made
no forecast of the probable produc-
ton but in an official statement
based on average abandonment
during this winter and average
condition prevailed until harvest,
places production at from 575,ooo'-
600 to 6o0,0O0,O0o bushels. The
first forecast of winter wheat pro-
ductien will be made by the crop
reporting board next May when its
estimates of acreage abandoned
during the winter will be an
nounced.
The paintings this fall of winter
wheat are about one and one-halt
million acres less than the revised
estimate of the paintings a year
ago and about $4,000 acres less
than those of the fall of 1918 when
the record area was sown. They
exceed the average sowings Of the
last ten years, which is 42,420,-
600 acrs by almost 4,500,000 acres.
The average area harvester in the
last ten years is 3s,416,2OO acres,
the average abandonment has been
9.57 per cent and the range from
IL per cent during the winter OF
1888 to $40 per cent during the
winter 1867.
The area sown to rye this fall Is
5,5os,OoO acres, or 11.3 per cent
less than the revised estimated
area sown in the fall Of 1921 which
was 6,21O,OOO acres. The condition
of the crop on December 1, was
S4.3 of a normal, compared with
92.2 year ago, 90.5 in 1920 and
9O.S the ten-year December 1 aver
age.
The average of winter wheat
sown in Southern States and the
condition on December 1, were as
follows:
Virginia, 100000 acres; condi'
ton, 81 per cent.
North Carolina, 615,00O acres
, and S3 per cent.
South Carolina, $4,000 and "a.

TRYING T0PUSH
SHIP BILL ASIDE
BOTH SIDES STRUGGLE FOk
DOMINANCE IN SENATE.
JOHN SHARP WILLlAMo
SAYS HE WILL NOT VOTE
FOR EITHER MEASURE

Washington, Dec. " ouPpoi'
ers of the administration shipping
bill and members of an alliance be-
tween opponents Of the measure
and proponents of the Norris agrl-
cultural financing bill struggled 1or
dominance in the Senate today
without definite result.
The issue, which was before the
Senate throughout six-hour ses-
sion, was embodied in the motion
of Senator Norris of Nebraska
chairman of the agriculture COM
mittee, and a leader in the ne"
progressive bloc, to FAY aside the
ship bill and to take up the Sena-
tors own measure to create a gov
ernment capitalized agency to buy
and sell farm products. The ques-
ton was the subject of numerous
conferences, and several speeches
including the maiden address OF
Senator Brookhart, Republican,
Iowa.
An attempt was made soon after
the session began to obtain unan-
imous consent for a vote on the
motion late tomorrow and appear
ed on the point of success, but a
wrangle over the detail blocked the
way. Renewed efforts are to, be
made tomorrow with prospects IA
voring a vote before adjournment
Demand that the shipping bill be
laid aside was made during the
session by Senator Brookhart, Sen
ator Borah, Republican, Idaho and
Senator Fletcher of Florida, leader
of the Democratic opposition to the
m aasure. Senator Ransdell, Demo
crat, Louisiana, in four-houl
speech, urged prompt passage OF
the legislation while Senator Jones
Republican, Washington, in charge
of it, stood firmly vn his deter
mination to keep the bill before the
Senate until rural credits legisla'
tin could be reported to the Sen
ate by the banking and currency
committee. Chairman Mclean oj
tbs committee, announced during
the day that such action might be
expected early next week.
One Senator john Sharp Viii.

nounced he would not vote either
way on the question because he
said he would feel himself "dis-
graced either way" He said he had
not thought ''it was within the
realm of human ingenuity to frame
bill worse than the ship subsidy
bill "but that Senator Norris by
his measure, chad accomplished the
impossible"
