SWEDES MAY STUDY AMERICAN DRY LAW
Government May Send Com mission to United States to
 Investigate Prohibition
By Associated Press

stockholf, May A Swedish com mission may be sent to the United States to make a study of the effects of prohibition in that country and re- port to the Swedish people before the consultative plebiscite on prohibition to be held in Sweden next autumn.
 The proposal has been made by the central board of the Swedish Students Association for Absolute Prohibition. This organization is composed of stu dents in the higher schools and in universities. They suggest that the commission shall be composed of an equal number of "wets "and "drys," newly organized National League For Temperance.
 The students organization points out the immense importance of the American experiment to the develop ment of prohibition all over the world, stating that the Swedish peo- pie. before casting their vote on this Issue. should receive reliable infor- nation concerning the general ef fleets of the dry law in the United States.
 The report to be submitted to tho Swedish voters must be based on thorough study of the social, econom- ic and cultural effects of prohibi- tion.
 It Is further pointed out that re- ports from the United States on the effect of the dry law are extremely contradictory and an investigation by

ATTRACTIONS OF THE STAGE &sa
May Make Insanity
 Grounds For Dioorce

Paris. May s,-rhe bill introduced in the Chamber Of Deputies by Andre Tardieu and Georges Almond, making Insanity a legal ground for divorce, has met with considerable. opposition. The bill provided that husband or wife should be entitled to bring an action for divorce after the person to whom he or she was married had been detained for three years in a recognized lunatto asylum, and if competent medical authorities de- clared the patient was mentally de- ficient beyond hope of recovery.
 The measure is opposed on the ground that no physician Is suff- ciently tnfallible to be able to state that case is hopeless beyond re- covery.
 Confirmed opponents of all changes in the French divorce laws arr draw ing distressing pictures of tho ..in- ourable" patient recovering and re- turning to the bosom of his family to find his wife married again.
 Andre Tardieu, one of the authogs of the bill was a mem Der of the lass cabinet of Premier Clemenceau and was French high comm sioper in America during the World war.
 Insanity was a ground for divorce In Franco 100 years ago. In Germany, Switzerland and other countries it is considered legitimate grounds for di- vorce, although the laws vary ip irn- portant particulars in each country.

POPE WOULD LIKE
 TOV|S|T AMERICA
Regrets He Did Not Come to United States Before
 His Election

Rome. May s.-Pops Plus xI har- bors at least ono deep regret. and that is his failure to visit the new world before his elevation to the holy see.
 T was 70 anxious to visit the United States. Brazil and Argentina" he said recently. "But I thought I had plenty of time. I never dreamed that I would be elected pope"
 Diplomats and ecclesiastical digni- taries arc playing an important part in the new pontiffs efforts to fla miliarize himself with tho affairs of his church in every land. Cardinals are usually accorded interviews last ing two hours or more, while ambas- sadors are seldom dismissed before they have spent an hour with the pope.
 He is evidently feeling his way and trying to understand the com plicated machinery in all its parts" said one ambassador, as he left the vatican offices. Tt Is quite a strik- ing contrast to Pope Benedict, who used to go straight to the heart of the subject in hand and exhaust 1t in few moments"
 His sympathetic attitude toward the American continents has en- couraged Latin American represen- tatives of the Catholic church to hope for an increase In the number of car dinals allotted them. Senor de Ava redo. Brazilian ambassador to the vatican, has pointed out to the new pope that the United States, smaller in area and with a smaller Catholic population than Brazils, has two cardinals while Brazil has but one.
 One of the chief objections to granting cardinals in Latin America brought forward in the past is that the Sacred college cannot exceed 70 members, and that the pope, follow ing traditional law. must leave few vacancies to be filled by his suc- cessor This argument is controvert- ed by senor Azaredo on the ground that the present limitation of 70 car dinals was established nearly 300 years ago, when no one could for see the development of the American continents

n3Kns COTTON FIRNPnnor

0aled cotton, which 70 easily oeecAss fire. or quickly rots when sx- posed to the weather, is to be largely savsd from both hugo losses by now ohSmical prooesS which Is sim pie te apply at the time the cotton Is gtnne6 and does not fn3ure tho qual- tty sf tho cotton
 Anyone who has touched . match to . p3eoe of cotton batten knows how ths flame spreads over the surface n A' flash. This has led to the adop- ton of the term -fIash ffre- in the cotton industry. and is ono of tho menaces to be guarded against in shipptng or storing cotton bales. An other form of fire risk is the so-called ''burrowing ffre.- which refers to tho fire which eats its way into the bale One would think that this fire hazard was a sufficient handicap to be plac- cd upon any industry, but cotton is also su bject to another loss, called Country damage," caused by fermen- tation among the fibers when the bales arc stored in contact with the ground or under adverse weather conditions This country damage spreads into tho bale, and may occa- sion the loss of as much as 80 per cent of the cotton in tho bale.
 When consideration is given the fact that, with the single exception of corn, cotton is the most valuable of our agricultural products. and far exceeds in value any other exported commodity, tho economic importance of any process that will reduce the fire loss and prevent tho loss through country damage, can be appreciated.
 The process of treatment, descfib- ed and illustrated in tho Popular Me- rb a ntcs Ma gina fa extremely sfm- ple- and has been tested to a point where its commercial value Is proved.
 Many tests have shown that treated bales are practically immune from country damage, even when. stored under adverse weather conditions. Ono test showed that tho loss after three years was only two pounds on . boo-pound bale, while with the un- treated bales the loss in only few months may range from 30 pounds to n much as 400 pounds per bale.

 KEEP TIMBER GROWING


 The farmer uses wood in many ways-buildings, oordwood. fencing, implements, barrels, boxes and multitude of minor requirements. It Is estimated that on the average he needs 2.000 board feet every twelve months to keep going. In fact, the business of farming could not be carried on In It's present state of de- velopment without liberal wood supply.
 Continued prosperity in our rural districts and life upon its present high scale, depend upon an abun- dance of growing timber. How to keep up tho supply of lumber and mako it available at a reasonable price Is the problem It is largely one of Idle acres. If we are going to continue as wood users we must be- come wood producers, The farmers of the country taken as whole, are our greatest owners of timber lands. A large percentage of such areas are idle, and as Ben Franklin would say, "Idle lands make Idle hands,
 Ground best suited to raise cror of trees should be put to work. The farmer does not have to walt for them to grow. Trees will grow whether he waits for them or not Taken as a whole, the farming in- dustry Is independent so far as food stuffs arc concerned. It can like wise become mainly independent a' to wood requirements if the 1s1 1,ooo,' 900 acres of woodland owned by farmers are put to work. Many farmers are already watching theil woodlots and checking up the croI with the same care used in calculat ing the annual harvest of grain II the years which are coming, the farm with the woodlot will bring higher price on the market than th' place which does not have one.
