The Emulatiye Corn

Sir: There are times when my deep
admiration for The Tribune is mingled
with doubts as to it's infallibility.
For example. in telling Of the bumper
crop Of corn growing con the roof of
the subway" whatever that may be, In
front of City Hall, it is suggested that
"the stalks would be foot higher by
now but for the fact that the Wool
worth Building casts its shadow over
the cornfeld all afternoon"
1t is very evident shat Municipal
Gardener Gus Human has never studied
the psychology Of corn in its solid
state. Coming from Iowa, "out where
the tall corn grows" I know more
about corn than corn knows about it
self. i know that, like the people Of
the Hawkeye State, corn is courageous
and not faint-hearted. Instead Of being
frightened or discouraged by tho Wool
worth Building, or the Municipal
Building, or even the tower of the
Tribune Building, the cornstalks have
undoubtedly been inspired to emulate
them and are twice as tall as they
would have been but for the inspira-
tion drawn from their surroundings.
In some parts of Iowa, we are told,
they raise a f1agpole in the middle of
the field in order that the green shoot
just emerging from the ground may
have something to compete with. This
accounts for the unbelievably tall
~, ots 81,
to entertain some doubts as to the
truthfulness of veracious natives.

HYMN TO BRAHM

HYMN TO BRAHM
ENDLESS, beginningless, ere time
~ was, thou art;
Sinful and sinningless alike are thy
part.
Uncreate, formless, in thee are all
forms;
Thy heaven is stormless, yet thine
are all storms.
The higher, the lower; the seeker,
the sought;
The seed and the sower are one in
thy thought.
All life is the giving of thee, the
Great Breath;
So, too, is the living which here we
call Death.
Poor bond-slave to passion, this body
of earth,
Break thou and refashion through
birth after birth,
And ever renewing the life which
aspires,
All, grant me, reviewing old dreams
and desiresI
To live and relive them; to issue
more just,
Until thou forgive them their yes
ture of dust;
That, ever ascending through in
finite pain
The spiral unending, myself l at
tain.
Oh, heart of the primal night, soul
of the sun,
Lighting the very light, Only and
One!
All, lift me, upheld me, one drop Of
thy sea;
Absorb and enfold me, immortal in
thee! PERLEY A. CHILD.

Governors Allen
and Miller Lock
Horns on Ship Canal

Washington. Mar. 1.-The battle for
and against the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee ship canal project was fought
for nearly three hours today in de-
bate before the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress between Governors
Henry J. Allen of Kansas and Nathan
L. Miller of New York.
Gov. Allen, aided by Fl. H. Merrick
of Chicago, former president Of the
Mississippi Valley Association, cham
pioned the project, while Governor
Miller took the negative side. There
was no decision. both governors
agreeing at the end that congress
would become the final arbiter in its
action on the international commits
sions recommendations for construc-
ton of the project At the clase OF
the debate, the two governors shook
hands and exchanged Congratulations.
The cry Of "sectionalism" early was
brought into the joint debate of the
governors who were brought togeth-
err on the rostrum fter recent news
paper exchanges between them. Gov
ernor Allen and Mr.. Merrick attribute
ed New York opposition to the st.
Lawrence project to desire to pro-
tect the interests Of New York har-
Dor and state and the New York barge
canal. Gov. Miller denied and decried
sectionalism.' Declaring he spoke
from the national viewpoint he mar
shalled arguments against proceed
ings with the project until after q
thorough investigation had been made
by experts and the proposal examine
ed from all angles.

Germans Holding
Up Share of Dyes
Due United States

Paris, March 1.-(By The A. P.)--
The American dye industry is said
to be in danger. of considerable in
convenience becI use OF the refusal of
i Germany to deliver the American
share of dyes to the reparations
commission until the controversy be-
tween the textile alliance and the
I minority dye interests in that coun-
try is cleared up. The Associated
Press was informed today in reliable
quarters. America has not received
its share of the German dyes for
more than four weeks, and American
experts in Europe assert that any
great prolorgation of this situation
probably will cause widespread dis
turbance to Americas newly organ
! lied dye industry.
1t is asserted that while American
! dye industry manufactures q ma
jority of its own dyes. those dyes
which have been supplied by Ger
I many through the PREPARATIONS COM
mission are what are known as
/ key dyes and represent vital color
elements without which no industry
could continue for any length of time
to perform acceptable work America
has been receiving the important
dyes at the rate Of two million dol
lars yearly. They include dyes man.
| ufactured in Germany from processes
which up to the present time remain
secret to the outside world.
When the American government
70 Cd off t,,,~
cable despatch sent it by the re-
parations commission on the subject
of dye deliveries, or to a direct COM
munication said to have been sent
by the textile alliance, representa-
tives here to President Harding,
Germany served notice that she did
not feel called on to deliver dyes to
the commission for America, unless
the Washington government indicat-
ed its approval Of the textile alliance
or some other responsible agencies
for their receipt.
In the meantime American OBJ
servers say they have been informed
that Germany is quietly but effect
lively exporting her dyes to the
United States at prices two and
three times higher than she had been
credited with by the reparations
commission. The German dye
manufacturers. these observers as
scrt. would like the reparations COM
mission arrangement abolished so
that she might sell direct to the
United States at greatly increased
/ prices. 1t is added that the com
, mission does not take this view Of
Germany and that 10 probably would
! demand resumption of deliveries Of
| dyes if the matter were placed in
its hands. For the present. however,
the officials are credited with say
| ing they cannot act because of the
failure Of the American government
to make decision in the contro-
versy.

Wednesday that he had been trying

although he had not received a def

chances were good for a game with

game would have to &c played on the

materializes 1t will practically be u

has trimmed up the college teams of

viously deposited brought the total

Maine was lowest with $422.
Taking each Industrial group as a
whole" the board said, "the number
of depositors increased during 1921
in the textile and other cities. but de-
chned in the machinery centers.
'In each group. however. half OF the
cities reported fewer accounts in 1924
than in 1920. AS in past years. the
size Of the average savings account
was considerably larger in the textile
group than in any Of the other In
dustrial groups taken as a whole. an
interesting sidelight in view OF the
textile strike now in progress.
Taking individual cities by indus
trial groups. 1t appears that the shoe
and itather eenters, which were the
first to feel the effect Of the industrial
depression, sustaining losses in saw
ings deposits during the latter part ot
1920, showed distinct improvement
throughout 1921. The machinery and
metal group Of cities, on the other
hand, were fourishing in 1920 but hard
hit in 1891.
1.-THE textile cities. with the single
exception Of New Bedford. showed
steady increases in the amount Of
savings on deposit. OF course thess
gains were not so great as In 1920.
but nevertheless the fact remains
that the textile cities were the only
industrial group to chow gains In both
years. although with the exception Of
Lawrence and Fall River, the gains
represented interest added to principal,
those two cities alone showing . bal
ance of net new principal.
'Ttaken as a whole. the second
half Of 1921 showed a weaker situa-
ton. the gross amount on deposit
gaining only little more than one
half as much as during the first half
Of the year, while the decline in the
amount Of net new principal on de-
posit nearly doubled. The only states
showing reduced gross receipts were
Connecticut and Vermont. the gross
gains in the other four states being
~ nff ~,
losses in the totals for New England.
After deducting interest on dividends
credited, however, every state showed
a decline in net new principal on de-
posit."
