CONDITIONS GOVERN SELECTION.

CONDITIONS GOVERN SELECTION.
Planters and breeders have their
likes and dlslikes, just as people show
In selecting hats, clothes, watches or
clocks, tractors, c%ultivators or wind
mills. What Is best character and va
rlaty Of crops " animals for one may
not be best for another. The man
who has made a success In breeding
Duroc hogs consc1entiously believes
that breed to be the acme of perfec-
ton and can't understand why others
choose another breed. Same way with
varieties Of corn, cotton, melons and
fruit. Probably the breeders Of poul-
try are stronger in their preferences
than any others. It Is pretty, well es-
tabl1shed that anyone will succeed
best with growing crops or raising ami
mails that, after investigation, he Sc
lects as best for himself and condi-
lions governing his choice. If a e c
ton becomes famous for producing
crops Of a certain variety or animals
or poultry of one breed, buyers find
it out, and the result is better prices
for those who have assisted in making
that particular location pre-eminent.
Investigate carefully, then decide what
you car grow or raise better than you
have been growing, says Farm and
Ranch. Preference and enthusiasm in
growing crops, under suitable condi-
lions, are dominent factors In achiev-
Ing success. BE sure you are right,
then 60 ahead" and don't let your en-
thusiasm and confidence drag.

If you visited some unfamiliar city
and asked to be shown about, for your
friends to take you through the hand
some residence sections and show you
the fine schools, city hall, library, etc.,
and other manifestations Of wealth
and civil spirit. The student Of social
advance Of the future will do some
thing more than look at handsome pub
lie buildings and homes Of the workers
and if there are any slums, to inspect
them, says the Salem News. If he
finds tumble-down tenements and for
bidding looking quarters of the work
Ing people, all kept in a state Of dis
order, he will conclude that the ad-
vance of that community has been su.
perticial. The lavish public buildings
and the tasteful homes seem built on
a false foundation. But If he goes
around among the modest dwellings
of the working population and finds

is going to say: This is fine and

ings may not be quite so scrumptious,
there may not be many castles and
palaces for the rich. But if the spirit
of Improvement has taken hold of the
mass of the people, If the owners Of
property have gained a feeling that
they are responsible for the neatness
and attractiveness Of the same, that
town is at the top of the civic pro-
cession.

! WHY SAFE OUT

X ~. .f
The screw door safe Is practically
what it claims to be-burglar-proof. I
don't say q craftsman can't enter it,
but it Is impractical because it takes
him SO long. I've heard Of cases where
they were able to get isolation from
saturday midnight over Sunday,
through a peculiar lay Of the land, and
good confederation, and were able to
crack one. But, ordinarily, a burglar
must get by in four hours or not at
all, and it's physically impossible to
crack a screw door safe in that time.
This is the reason that night bank
burglary has gone out Of fashion in
the last few years, writes Richard
Barry in Leslie's Weekly: The big
robberies now occur in the day time.
And this has bred a different type Of
man. Out Of the thug, the craftsman,
the expert with the Jimmy and the
"soup" it has bred the gentleman
burglar, the fellow who can look and
act the part Of the business man, who
has the intelligence to plan a campaign
requiring days Of preparation and the
nerve to pull the stunt and get away
without bloodshed. In burglary, as In
business, 1t is a day of big deals, Of
combinations, Of high finance. "Mobs"
don't 60 about as they Used to. willy
nilly, over the land, dropping in here
and there as they pleased and get
ting away with a few thousands in
each place. Instead, there are a
comparatively few very high-class op-
orators; these never try to pull a trick
until their preparation is complete;
they work with well-drilled gangs and
have reversed the old order about
women Women help the cracksmen
now as they never did before.

Of Adelaide, each tree a memorial

Archibald Weigall, the governor Of

expression of this fact to the average
citizen, who still believes firmly that
he cherishes the sturdy antipathy Of
his forefathers to emotionalism. II

CUERNAVACA, Mexico, Aug. IL (By
The Associated Press).--A. Bruce Bic
laski, former American Department Of
Justice official, was formally absolved
of all guilt in the recent kidnapping
episode in which he was the central
figure, when Judge Quiros, who has
been conducting the examination into
the incident, issued full clearance pa
pers this afternoon.
The case was formally closed after

and the judge expressed himself salts
fled that Bielaski was innocent Of the
charge of self-abduction.
At the personal request Of Judge
Quiros Mr.. Bielaski is remaining In
Cuernavaca for several days more in

for calling eff the pursuit of the kid
naping party, are still under arrest.
The order came suddenly this after

requested to remain in Cuernavaca
several days longer before decision
was handed down.

Bedridden 30 Years,
Woman Able to Walk
Crippled When Two Years
Old, Operation Restores
Use of Legs

Miss Barbara Sirdevan, thirty-four
years old, who has been bedridden since
she was two years old because Of an
attack Of infantile paralysis, has been
walking for week about her home at
Passaic, 1t was learned yesterday. She
is hampered in her movements only by
her lack of sense Of balance, which she
is rapidly acquiring.
Several months ago Miss Sirdevan
was sent to the Orthopedic Hospital at
Orange, whore she was placed in charge
of DR.. Richard Humphries. She was
operated upon twelve times. She is
now permitted to walk for twenty min
utes daily, and it is only question of
time until she will be entirely cured,
physicians say.
The case is similar to that of Fred
erick w. Birge, a Vermont farmer, now
in the Hospital for the Ruptured and
Crippled, at 921 East Forty-second
Street. On Tuesday he will attempt to
walk for the first time since he was
stricken, at the age Of fourteen. That

Lack of Coal
Halts Increase
InB. II. T.Trains
New Service Scheduled for
August Is VIII Be Held
Up Until September l8,
Commission Announces
Has Only 4 Days Supply
Enough for Three Weeks
Now Lying in Harbo1
or ON Way From England

Lack Of coal probably will prevent
any increase in B. R. T. train service
for the next month. Although the
company has lying in the harbor or on
the way from England enough coal to
last three weeks, it has only four days
supply in its bunkers, and, therefore,
the Transit Commission announced
yesterday that it would suspend the
order for increased service.
Transit Commissioner Leroy T.
Hardness, who is member Of the
coal commission that is receiving pri-
critics for transmission 60 Washing
ton, advised that this action be taken.
The service increase was to become
effective August Is. Prudence in the
present circumstances dictated the
suspension, it was said, and the B. r.
T. will hold the increase In abeyance
until September 18, subject to two
weeks notice by the Transit Commits
sion.
Finance Plans Not Perfected
Bankers who were questioned yes
.terday on the details Of the plans for
financing the coal allotments made to
New York said that they had not yet
been perfected and would not be until
more definite information on the allo-
cations was received from Washing
ton. 1t was believed, however, that
a committee Of bankers would be
named to handle the financing of the
shipments. AS any coal apportioned
to New York must be promptly re-
ceived at the state line to prevent 1t
going elsewhere, payment must be
made Aoffyorxy NV tAa ToAoro1
ernment.
Due to the failure of coal dealers
to submit bids to the Board of Pur-
chase for the quarter from July to
September, Grover A. Whalen, chair
man of the board, yesterday requested
the Mayor to call special meeting Of
the Board Of Aldermen in the emer-
gency. The aldermen will be asked,
If the meeting Is called, for authoriza-
tion to go into the open market to
purchase coal for the city, suspending
the requirement that contracts for
coal shall be publicly let. Mr.. Whalen
suggested that the meeting be called
for August 16.
No Coal Bids Received
In his letter Mr.. Whalen says that
not only were no bids received for q
number of coal items on June 6, when
they were to have been opened, but
readvertising has failed to bring in
any since then. Coal dealers, he says,
are too uncertain as to whether or not
they can obtain coal to fulfill the con-
tracts If awarded to them. Estimates
from all departments of their needs to
the end of the year will be submitted
to the aldermen If the meeting Is
called.
A survey of the retail coal yards in
Staten Island, now in progress, shows
that many yards there have not ton
of snthracite in their bins. Dealers
said that they had been advised that
coal ordered some time back probably
could be delivered about September 15,
which would indicate that some of the
anthracite operators expect the soft
coal situation to be settled before
that date.

Call to arley
Summoned to Cleveland
tuesday as Operators
and Union Negotiators
Show Sign of Deadlock
Split Over Arbitration
Plan for 4-state Agreement
Dropped for Part Peace
Sending l55, 600 to Work

CLEVELAND, Aug. 12 (By The As
soc1sted Press).-A conference of Gov
ernors Of five bituminous coal produc-
ing states to hasten a settlement Of
the miners strike was called to-day
when Governors Davis Of Ohio and
Groesbeck Of Michigan, who have been
in consultation with the operators and
miners leaders here, telegraphed an
invitation to Governors SprouI of Penn
vania, McCray Of Indiana and Small Of
Illinois to attend a meeting here next
Tuesday.
The invitation was as follows:
The situation in coal negotiations
is such that We deem it advisable and
helpful that you be here Tuesday
morning. next. Come earlier if con-
venient."
Agreement among the operators and
miners on the joint sub scale commit
tee, seeking to negotiate a wage con-
tract that would bring a part settle
ment, was reached to-day that their
conference was sin no sense a four
state conference" which cleared the
way for further negotiations.
Declaration OF Intent
Apparently with the view of meeting
objections to any question of Federal
prosecution, the b-committee decided
on what was referred to by some of its
members as "a declaration of intent"
This emphasized that the conference
sought to make wage scale only for
operators participating in the confer
ence, and that the meeting was not a
four-state conference. A statement by
Michael Gallagher, spokesman for the
operators, and John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
said:
"In order to allay the misapprehen-
sion which exists in some quarters as
to the purpose Of the meeting of
operators and miners now In session in
the city Of Cleveland, Ohio, this
statement is issued:
"We are assembled for the PURPOSE
Of negotiating, if possible, new wage
agreement between the representatives
of the United Mine Workers and the
individual operating interests repre-
sented in this meeting. The conference
is in no sense what may be termed a
four-state conference and does not
undertake to represent the operators
OF any particular state or district or
any operating interests not repre-
sented herein.
Its sole purpose is to promote a
mutuality of understanding as be-
tween the operators participating and
the representatives Of their employees.
This statement is the joint action Of
the meeting assembled"
