Chemicals From Corn Cobs.

By developing new methods of ex-
tracing furfural from corn cobs,
chemists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture have greatly re-
duced the cost of making this chemi-
cal, which is used in the manufacture
of soluble and insoluble resins for
stains, varnishes, insulating material,
printing plates, and many other ar
ticles. Furfural has been made COM
mercially from oat hulls and has been
selling for about SO cents pound, but
when made from cobs it is estimated
that it can be manufactured at cost
of about 10 cents a pound. Cobs give
the greatest yield of furfura1 of any
of the common agricultural materials
that contain it.

A great many people seem to be un-

for newspaper and all the advertis-
ing is written and set up on press day.
AS a matter Of fact, as soon as one
addition Of the paper is off the press,
work begins on the next, and when the
morning of press day rolls around, the
paper is nearly ready to be put on

No Open Season.

There will be no open season on
prairie chickens this year, and the
hunters who have been looking for
ward to that sport will not have the
opportunity. The number of chickens
has greatly increased, but those in au-
thority deemed it best to wait another
year, at least, before opening the sea-
son on them. Old timers will recall
that prairie chickens were so numer-
Gus few years ago that they were
almost a pest. Those days have

The West Virginia Trial

1t is fortunate that the trial Of
the West Virginia miners charged
with treason is taking place in the
little town Of Charlestown, in the
Shenandoah Valley. The home Of
Samuel Washington, brother of the
first President, it still preserves
the best characteristic of the older
America.
Its people think as Americans and
not as members of one or another
class. They have been little dis
lurbed by the voice of agitation.
They pride themselves on being like
the people Of old Virginia. The pre-
siding Judge, described as a typical
Southern lawyer of the old school,,
is reputod to have a high sense of
lOnor and to be insistent upon a
5quare deal for all.

a Frank Disclosure

George Sylvester Viereck will be
recalled as one who says out loud
what others of his kind prudentlv
whisper. He feels an uncomfortable
urge to express what his co-workers
think but keep back.
SO Niereck, to the tips of his being.
IS joyful over Genoa. He does not
deem it worth while to pretend that
the Russo-German treaty is merely
economic. Cooperation along po-
lltical and military lines he regards
as inevitable. He proclaims the
death Of the Versailles Treaty
"deader than the soul of France he
eXclaims.
"Germany,' he truculently shouts,
will never pay the preposterous
separations imposed on her. Long
before the treaty expires no foreign
soldier will stand guard on the Rhine.
The Saar Valley, the Ruhr region
the Polish corridor, Danzig and the
larger part of Alsace- Lorraine will
be restored to the rightful owners.
Austria, German Slovakia and other
lost provinces will join their breth-
rem under the flag of greater Ger
many. France will sink to the level
of third-rate power
1t may be said that Viereck is a
windy extremist and as such that his
outpourings lack significance. But
the utterances of such are often fore
shadowing. Who will say that what
he shouts is not the secret aspira-
ton of the German heart?

sumo : the state. is as a matter
of fact in the hands of men long
closely identified with the coal IN
terests. Several of them have been
counsel for different coal COM
panles. and, according to persons
recently at the trial, there is an ap-
pearanCe that these men, instead of
acting il behalf Of the state, are
really working in behalf Of the
mine owners in their war against or
ganized labor.
The miners are assisted by able
counsel. Had the trial been held in
one of the mining counties, how
ever it is doubtful if even the most
skillful legal aids could have broken
down the barrier against them built
up by the operators. Will an old
fashioned American town dispense
oldfashioned American justice. for
getting propaganda of all species
and varieties?

The compliance of the INTERIOR

The consent of the Interborough to

that it was given. The same is true

Bryce on Bolshcvists

10 The Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Thinking your readers would be
interested in anything Lord Bryce
might say bearing on questions now
being generally discussed. I am quoting
an extract from one of his letters to
me, in which he expresses his opinion
of having anything to do with the
Bolsheviki. 1t is as follows:
II agree with you in wondering at
the tolerance extended to Bolshevism
by otherwise sensible people both in
America and in England.
"The Bolshevists are q set Of blood.
thirsty ruffians worse than the worst
men Of the French Revolution. MANY
people here are taken in by the
empty professions Of a desire to i'm
prove the world. Is this so in
America?
Personally think that the Allies
ought never to have treated or an
peared to treat with the Bolshcvists
at all"

AS the Twig Is Bent"

To the Editor Of the Tribune.
Sir: During Children's Week, April
9o-May !, public attention is being
especially called to the value of moral
and religious training early in life.
Such training should begin in the
home, and in this day of vicious in
fuences it is imperative that parents
also utilize every outside agency which
tends to safeguard and develop their
children's moral and spiritual nature
and encourages right thinking and
right living.
Dr.. Carroll D. Wright. formerly Com
missioner of Labor for the United
States, emphasizes the Importance Of
kindergarten education in relation to
moral development as follows
The kindergarten aims especially
to develop the child on his social
and moral side. He learns that what
is customary in the mutual relations
of right thinking people is right. He
learns through active cooperation in
games and associated work that with
out kindness, justice and truthful
ness, social life is neither comforta-
BILE nor for any extended time even
possible"

Britain's Napoleonic Loans

The news that the American COM
mission to consider the Allied debt
has made known its existence to the
French government has been re-
ccived as if the whole problem were
unprecedented. Our case, many peo
pie apparently believe, is an excep-
ticnal one, whereas it is not.
Among the many interesting prece-
dents furnished by history, however,
the case Of Great Britain and the
Napoleonic wars is peculiarly en-
tightening at the present time. Eng
land, allied with Austria in her wars
against Napoleon, made two loans to
that country, one in 1895 for 946O0,-
600 sterling, and the other in 1897
for 2l,620,000 1t was specifically
provided that Austria would arrange
the repayment of these advances so
that those payments should never
fall as burden on the finances of
Great Britain" No sinking fund was
provided for the first loan, and it
was agreed in the event of default
that Great Britain should pay the
interest on that portion of the issue
which was held by individual in
vcstors.
For the frs three years the Aus
trian government kept it's pledge on
the first loan and paid the charges
seml-annually. At the time that the
second loan was made, however, no
provision for interest charges was
made, and the Austrian government
theroupon ceased all payments on
both issues.
For twentyfour years Austria
failed TO pay anything on either
loan. 1t was then agreed between
the two governments that Great
Britain would accept a settlement
which worked out at rate Of about
thirteen cents on every dollar. By
1924, when the transaction was COM
pleted. the entire sum due from Aus
tria, including unpaid interest and
principal and other charges, amount
ed to SIS, 5,648,730, upon which Aus
tria paid s2,l89,285. The remaining
s13,000,000 was taken over by the
British Treasury as Britain's share
of the debt.
In commenting upon this transac
ton the British official "White Book"
remarks: "Of this settlement there
is little more to be said than it is
to be supposed the British Treasury
made the best they could of bad
bargain. They had to pay the usual

The Return of Beveridre

When Albert j. Beveridge, aged
thlrty-seven years. first went to the
Senate in 1899 he suffered under the
handicap of being a boy orator. He
will return, if his nomination is con-
firmed on Election Day. aged sixty
one years, as the matured author of
his monumental four-volume life of
John Marshall
Intimate contact with the great
mind Of one of the real makers of the
Republic naturally has had a sub
lectlve effect. Mr.. Beveridge is more
a statesman and less a rhetorician
than in his early days. He will wear
his toga soberly. On his second ap-
pearance he will scarcely be sub
jectcd again to Senatorial hazing,
Mr.. Beveridge, like other men
whose shadows fall toward the East.
has grown less sure the world can be
made over at once. He still is
capable Of turning out bizarre pro-
! posa(s, as he did not long ago when
be suggested that Great Britain and
France make a block transfer to us
of their West Indian possessions as
price for the cancellation of our SILL
000, 100000 claim against F,urope.
/ But in the main he now sticks to
beaten paths.
In recent address in New York
he laid the chief blame for the de-
preston on the unenlightened policy
OF the four great railway unions.
tlrst came the successful Adamson
law hold-up. This whetted appe-
tltes, and by threatening strikes
other grabs followed with the conse-
Quence that railway net income so
diminished that many trainmen lost
their Jobs. Similarly Mr.. Beveridge
has dared to disagree with the
miners union, though strong in his
state, He has apparently reached
the conclusion that economic non
sense is as tiresome to others as to
himself In the Senate he will not
suffer lack Of chance to show his
courage.
But once progressive always one.
Back of the conservatism of Mr.. Bev-
erldge can be discerned strong ten
dency not to be satisfied with things
as they are. If he comes again to
the Senate he will add greatly to the
debating power of the progressive
group and exert an influence such
as his party now needs.

| ne Clock and the OaleSman
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Last week one Of your CORE
spoudents said. "a little learning is a
dangerous thing" and then proceeded
to prove it by claiming it would be
necessary to change clock daily in
order to keep it running by sun time,
as sun time varied thirty minutes in
each year.
Standard time is the correct sun
time at the 10Th, Goth, 1o5th and 12oth
parallels of longitude, as we use it
in this country. The time at these
points is used as the time for all
places tx degrees east and west.
Local. circumstances make these limits
vary slightly from a straight line north
and south.
This standard time was adopted to
make all clocks alike, and so per cent
of the people still want the clocks that
way 1t is only those who don't want
the majority to rule when they hap
pen to side with the minority who
want the clocks fast
Why don't the city authorities take
vote if they would like to know how
people feel? Such votes have been
taken and have always shown ma
jority in favor of having the clocks
tell correct time.

Prudence
The careless robin builds his nest

And so he's often dispossessed
And has a dreadful time.
Yet in his day of sorrow. when

Upon the same old bough.
The flicker fears no prowling
He knows a trick worth two Of

The oriole his nest suspends
From 1.-THE and swinging sprays,
And though the great tree rocks
and bends
He calmly goes his ways
But if beneath the evening sky
A preying owl should roam,
And he should meet its greedy

Good bye to kids and home.

But my. he's wide between the

Ludendorf's first claim in his artc
is the familiar one (familiar, at leas.

U-boat operations or not. He presents
to American readers the ridiculous
fable that America was never neutral
that President Wilson had already
entered in 1913 into secret agree
ment with Great Britain to take sides
against Germany. He grasps eagerly
at President Wilson's casual and high
