INsREEDlNe TESTS CONTINUED

After Is years of inbreeding and
cross-breeding experiments with the
guinea pig, in which more than 34,-
900 animals were used, the United
States Department of Agriculture is
continuing the Investigations with
poultry and swine, making use of
many facts developed in the tests
with the smaller animals. Six pens
Of White Leghorns have been set
aside for the purpose, and it is plan
ned to breed continuously within
each pen, using one male bird each
year. A similar test will be carried
on with five pairs of Poland Chinas
and four pair of Tamworth hogs.
This experiment will make possible
later comparison of crossing with
in a breed and between two breeds
with inbreeding.

PROHIBITION is THE MAIN ISSUE

Prohibition will be a dominant is
sue in not fewer than thirty states
this fall, and results will bew atched
with more than usual interest.
The vets contend they are certain
of victory, while the drys openly say
that if no other force kills the hope
for light wines and mild beers" it
will die at the hands of the bootleg
gers who are making too much mon
ey under their present system to per-
NIT the traffic to become legalized.
New York and New Jersey are all
"het up" over the issue, which also
will be paramount in al of the New
England states, and in Missouri.
Pennsylvania will face the question,
as will Maryland, Delaware, West
Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Colorado, Ohio, Wisconsin, Ne
braska, Washington, Michigan, Cali
fornia, Oregon, Utah, Louisiana, Tex
as, Oklahoma and Florida.
Pennsylvania vets pretend to be-
lieve they are sure of victory, but the
recent sweep of the rogressive Pin
chot points the other way.
1t would be difficult to predict the
outcome in many of the states, but it
is to be hoped that whatever be the
verdict it will result in an obedience
to law.
A decided dry victory will most en-
phatically express the will of the
people, and unless the bedrock of
American government is to be dyna-
mited the sooner the expressed will
of the people is obeyed the better.
And it will not hurt if Uncle Sam
himself leads the way on the one or
two of the seven seas he is now man.
aging to navigate.

RECORD HEIGHT REACHED BY
WEATHER BUREAU BALLOON

A record height for the Washing
ton district was reached recently by
the balloon sent up by the weather
bureau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in connection
with it's observations of upper all
conditions. The balloon was seen tC
burst at 22,590 meters, a height OF
about 13 miles, after being watched
123 minutes.
The Astrological service of the wea.
ther bureau releases a balloon filled
with hydrogen gas twice daily from
the roof of the weather bureau build
ing, provided there is no rain. The
object is to get the direction and We
locity of wind movements at various
elevations as far as the balloon can
be observed. These balloons are
SMALL, about two and one-half feet in
diameter when inflated, and made of
the finest quality of uncolored rub
ber. The watching is done through
q theodolite and the time is kept by
a clock which sounds an alarm every
minute.

pusL,s RECOGNIZED At LAST

Even the most severe critics oi
the interstate commerce commission
viii approve its recent ruling that In
sures low rate for the shipment OF
surplus war materials destined to
build good roads. Good roads are the
arteries through which the nations
wealth must travel.
The issue was raised by the ship
ment of material by the Bureau of
Public Roads, United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture, to state high.
way departments.
The material was shipped as con
tractors" equipment, thereby giving
IL the advantage of a low rate. The
railroads objected. They wanted the
states to pay less than carolad rates"
on various items in such shipments
even when the aggregate filed a car.
The contention of the bureau was
that since none of the material is
new, and that as it is all intended for
use in road construction it should
have the low rate allowed for con-
tractors equipment.
The commission upheld this con-
tention and the result is that on one
shipment alone from Schenectady, N.
Y, to Boise, Idaho, $720 was saved
to the state and consequently to the
taxpayers.
1t would seem this is not a partic-
ularly happy time for the railroads to
make fight against public interest.
There is no reason why the lower
rates should not prevail and every
reason why they should.
True, improved roads and the de-
velopment of the auto truck mean a
reduction in the railroad short haul,
but that is a natural development,
and the time has gone by when 1t is
considered wise to smash machinery
because it speeds up production.

WET PETITION
IN THE SENATE
FreIinghuysen Explains 1t
Was Not Lost Mistake
Made in Office
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOy Evening NcWS)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17:-At the
same time that Senator Joseph ).
Frelinghuysen presented to the
senate yesterday the petition of
$4,000 New Jersey Anti-Dry League
members asking for modification of
the Volstead law. he issued a state
ment frankly denying the charge OF
William r. Stewart, president of the
league, that he had knowingly ig-
nored, withheld or suppressed the
petition.
Senator Frelinghuysen presented
the anti-dry league petition to the
senate as soon as it convened Mon
day and stated on the floor of the
senate that while he was opposed to
modification Of the Volstead law he
had no wish 10 withhold or delay
presentation to the senate of a petit
ton faVoring modification.
Last August the anti-dry league
of New Jersey sen to Senator Frel-
inghuysen a petition bearing $4,000
signaturs urging modification of the
Volstead law and asked thu he pre-
sent it to the senate. He did so
without delay and with a statement
to the senate explaining the petition,
its purposes, etc.
Several days ago President Will
liam X. Stewart of the league sent
Senator Frelinghuysen a supple
mental petition containing $4,000
names, for, presentation also to the
senate. When Mr.. Stewart a few
days later wrote Senator Freling-
huysen making inquiry concerning
the receipt of the petition he re-
ceived a reply from Senator Freling-
huysen's secretary stating it had
not been received, or if received
could not be found.
president Stewart then issued a
statement charging that Senator
Frelinghuysen was either dishonest
w suppressing the petition or was
responsible for gross carelessness in
connection with it's loss.
Senator Frelinghuysen's statement
reads as follows:
During my absence, a member or
my Office force receipted for an ex-
rress package. The office receives
such packages from time to time
which are intended for my home,
ana which are subsequently sent
there. Believing that this was ont
of them the package was sent to my
house and kept there by one of the
servants unopened. Several days
Z it came to my attention, / had
it opened, and found that Il contain
ed the petition which | had been ad-
vIsed was being sent to me, ana
which l had been unable to locate.
Il intended to file this petition in
the senate at the first opportunity
affCrded, and this I did. My action
in presenting the first petition sent
me proves that l had no intention
whatever of Withholding the second,
nor have l ever been guilty of such
an act. Tho statement made by Mr..
Stewart that 1 knowingly ignored,
withheld or have been suppressing
this petition Is not in accordance
with the facts"
Friends of Senator Frelinghuysen
were of the belief today that Pres
ident Stewards attack on him for
mislaying papers for which he was
not personally responsible will re-
act to the benefit OF Frelinghuysen.
