FRUIT HAS DIVERS FLAv0RS
DvrIon, Growing Only In Burma, High
~ Esteemed by Some and Die
liked by Others.

In Burma Is found a curious and
delicious fruit, called the durion. This
fruit grows on q tree Of about sixty
feet In height. It Is oval-shaped, from
ten to twelve inches in length and
from six to eight feet in diameter. It
Is Of a light green color and the outside
Is covered with thorns half an inch
long. These thorns are very tough and
strong. The interior is divided into
five sections, In which lie rows Of
seeds about an inch long, surrounded
with the delicious pulp, which is con-
sidered q great delicacy by those who
like 1t. Others dislike the taste. The
favor is described as follows: 'Take
the sweetest bananas, the richest pine
apples, the most Juicy Of oranges.
some peaches and cream, flavor the
mixture with some rare spice, and you
might have something that would re-
semble a durion." It has a pungent,
spicy fragrance which is greatly ad.
mired by many, and not liked by 9TH
ers. The king Of Burma used to send
every year special steamers to Moul-
mein, Burma, to procure royal speci-
mems of this most royal fruit.

Power Of Sight In Animals.

The two familiar expressions IAN
eagles eye'' and "Blind as a bat" just
about sum up the average persons
knowledge of the sense Of sight in
animals. The popular impression is
that all large, dangerous animals of
the Jungle have powerful eyes; but,
in fact, many are decidedly weak in
sight.
The elephant has poor eyes, and re.
lies on his other senses, mostly on
smell, to compensate for this, writes L.
3. Eubanks in Our Dumb Animals.
Also the rhinoceros sees but a short
distance, and depends on his sense Of
smell, even in charging an enemy. The
buffalo has good eyes, but those Of
the bear are so poor that when little
confused he will run directly over the
hunter he Is trying to avoid. Bears
eyes are dramatically described as
red trimmed and savage" but bears,
ordinarily, are not quarrelsome, and
prefer to use their eyes in retreat.

HARDING ASKS RAIL POWER
President Holds Conference Strike On
Mayhower Trip.

Observation-Disclosures Congress is
to be asked to authorize government
operation of railroads and coal prop
critics. President Harding has told his
advisers that he will exercise the au-
thority thus granted only in case Of an
industrial crisis.
Despite the apparent deadlock in
both the rail and anthracite strikes,
the President is described as still con-
fdent that way will be found to pro-
tect the interests of the general pub.
lie without resort to actual govern
ment direction.
In the meantime, however, Mr.. Har-
ding considers it extremely advisable
that II Congress is to recess, it first
clearly define his powers to act, and
legislation to that end is being pre-
pared for submission.
This policy of preparedness, emery
ing from another day Of inquiry and
consultation by administration off,
among many Of the majority leaders
in Congress, but was followed by evil
dence Of reluctance among others to
60 further than is provided in the in

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Kellogg and
Lenroot conferred with Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Aitchison
and H. B. Spencer, federal fuel distri-
butor, to ask that priority orders for
coal to the lakes be continued and
received assurances that steps will
be taken to keep supplies moving, de-
tails being left in the hands Of Donald

It also was indicated that voluntary
distribution committees, in some sec.

duction at the mines being reflected
in decrease of requests for priorities.
This will leave the regular priority

DOLLAR WHEAT AND
THE EMERGENCY TARIFF

It has not been many years ago since
Warren G. Harding expressed the opin-
ion that farmers could obtain prosper
ity by raising dollar wheat. It is the
irony Of fate that on August Is, in the
second year of President Harding's ad-
ministration, wheat sold as low as Il
dollar bushel, and touched the low
price of 80 IL cents. Three years ago
farmers were receiving $685. and $3.50
bushel for wheat.
The Emergency Tariff bill put a
duty on wheat for the purpose of re-
storing the slump in prices, but wheat
declined, and although. the tariff on
wheat. is still enforced it dropped to
ST q hushel on August Is, which raises
again the all-important question of
how much longer the Republican party
will. try to fool the farmers by. putting
high tariff duties on agricultural prod
ucts which this country exports3

FORD FACTORIES CLOSE
Closing Of Plants; :. Caused By
Coal Shortage Hard Blow

petroit-One hundred thousand EN-.
ployes Of the Ford Motor company
throughout the country will be with:
out jobs after September 16. In addi-
ton, several hundred thousand other
workers employed in industries fur
nishing materials for the Ford plants
will be affected.
Henry Ford gave these figures out
In announcing that his three big mo-
tor plants located in Detroit suburbs
and his ASSEMBLING plants through
out the country would, be closed on
that date because of coal shortage.
The announcement was the most
severe blow that Detroit has sustain
ed since the industrial depression
two years ago. It MEANS according
to Mr.. Ford, that $4,000 men employ
ed in the plants of the company here
will be without work. Thirty thou
sand others now working in the vari-
GUS assembling plants scattered thru
ought the entire country will be
thrown out of employment.

Democrats throughout the nation
take pride and interest in the nomi-
nation of the Democratic veteran legis'
lator, General Isaac R. Sherwood Of
the Toledo, Ohio, Congressional district
without opposition. General SHERWOOD
is among the last survivors of the
Civil War Commanders. He has a
fine and fearless record as a Congress-
man, and the honor Of the nomination
he has just received is made doubly
interesting by the fact that the nom"
ination came to him just five days
before his eighty-seventh birthday.
While, the so-called Republican "best
minds' among the aged legislators are
retiring from the conflict, one Of the
Democratic "best minds' among the
veterans is coming back.
