We suppose expert testimony is all right within
certain limits all right time, but it has
passed into phase in which it is or should be
no convincing to jury than the statements of
opposing counsel 1t should cease, in the interest Of
accuracy in the Of language to be called testi-
mony."
We have the testimony of two finger-prin ex-
perts "a comparatively new kind Of experts) in the
Arbucke trial gives the jury assurance that the
finger prints in the where Miss Rappe sustained
her fatal injury those OF Arbuckle and his vic
tim. The other is equally positive that they were
not. Now which is the jury to believe? How can
any jury without knowledge to the qualifications
OF two conflicting finger print medical experts
tell which is right and which is wrong?
An ordinarily intelligent juryman form an
estimate OF the story OF ordinary witness. The
witness speaks Of things the layman compre-
hend. The jurynan observes the manner OF the wit
ness before him. II the witness slips in his story,
the juryman perceives it, and when he has finished
he has been catalogued by the juryman and his evi
dence has been placed before him in such shape
that it can be weighed. One value of witness to
the side on which testes is his disinterestedness
An honest witness may be and often is interested
and even biased but then is of less value than one
whom the jury knows to be wholly unbiased But
the expert witness IS known always to be biased He
is employed rather retained by the side for which
he testifies The jury understands that if the other
side had him first his evidence would have been
for that side and OF wholly different character.
His interest in the outcome Of the is hardly less
intense than that of the attorneys either side
we are not decrying the value of expert testi-
mony, that is Of real unbiased testimony but when
witness is under fee from side another his
testimony is intended to be of value only to that side
Is much his business to conceal what may be Of
value to the other side it is the business of the
lawyer keep out other evidence which serves the
opposing side.
We think it would be well to adopt some other
way Of securing expert testimony Experts should be
selected only by the court from among known
to be experts and competent to testify for neither
side but for the state, not prosecutor
party but for the court which sits between the parties
The expert should not be under the obligation of
fee to either party.
This suggestion Is not made because of any
harm we believe expert testimony It is now adj
duced does. but make it in the interest OF expert
testimony itself. AT present we believe it is
fusing and so little regarded by jurles to be
less when we ought avail ourselves Of its possi-
bilities for helpfuness in arriving at justice.

shelled and marketed 10000 pounds
OF pinons last year. She markets the
nuts in cardboard cartons and glass
jars.
The food value OF the pinon is
3.142 calories per pound. This is
twice the value of an equal weight OF
dried beans, over four times that of
boiled eggs and half again as much
more as pound OF peanuts. The
shelled nut is composed of 2.59 per
cent water, 1898 per cent protein,
$3.50 per cent fat, 1920 per cent
carbohydrates Sugars, starches, etc.,
and 2.6S per cent ash.
The use of the nut seems to be un-
limited. The pinon adds delic-
ious and harmonizing flavor to most
food. 1t is often served by fastidious
chefs in vegetable soups and In dress
ing OF baked fowl. In salads II COM
bines with all fruits and vegetables
and is used in all so,'ts of confec-
tions and pastry. The pinon praline
is one of the most popular nut nov
elites. As a diet for persons at
fIicted with certain kidney ailments
the pinon is said to be excellent.

The claim of Senator Hitchcock Of great credit
to the democratic party for its part in the limita-

would have been unjust for the republican leaders
to claim all the credit. There was glory enough
for all.
The greater credit should go to neither party nor
to both parties but TO the American people, millions
Of whom regardless of party signed petitions to the
government to accomplish what has been done.
That the American delegates succeeded in ac-
complishng more than was demanded of them, alone
IS to their credit as representatives Of the two

A RIVAL OF THE PEANUT

carried in sacks and baskets to the
nearest Indian trading post, where
they are sold to the dealer who ships
them to market.
The nuts are shipped in 10000
pound carload lots to the East, where
they are purchased by candymakers,
clubs and hotels, and by companies
which vend the nut in various ways.
The man who gathers the pinons is
paid from to 10 cents a pound, the
wholesale dealers average about is
cents a pound and the retailers sell
the nuts at about 25 cents a pound
in the West. The 1921 crop in New
Mexico, the only state to market the
nuts on a large scale, is valued at
about 100000.
Strangers to the exotic little brown
nut in the east are making its ac-
quaintance through the agency Of
slot machines which are placed in the
subway stations OF New York. A
nickel in the slot brings a handful
of the pinons. The sudden fad for
the nuts sold in this fashion in
creased the price over 100 per cent
last season. Pinons bring about a
dollar a pound in the slot machines.
But the unshelled pinon is diff
cult to eat. The birds and squirrels
who live on them and the Indian who
considers them staple article Of
diet, have plenty OF time to crack the
thin brittle shells to obtain the rich
meat inside. Few others, except per-
haps practiced ''pinon busters" who
have the habit, viii take the time or
risk their teeth in cracking the nuts.
The pinon shelled and ready to eat,
however, is a great delicacy.
1t remained for a. woman OF vision
and infinite patience to solve the
problem of preparing the pinon for
immediate use. Mrs Fannie $. Spitz

WASHINGTON, Mar. 20. - The
pinon nut, the tasty seed of the pine
tree which the Southwest Indians
have been using for food for CEN
turtles, has at last come into its own
as popular delicacy. A periodic
bumper crop of the little brown nuts
in the mountains of New Mexico this
season has resulted in the CONNER
cializing in the East OF the pinon as
an exclusive product of the South
west highlands.
The pinon is a volunteer. Nature
does the farming, the Indians do the
harvesting and the traders do the
marketing. The nuts are produced
each fall at an expense to no one
the pine cones dropping their ripe
seeds lavishly on the ground. They
are gathered by the Indians. who
bring them to the trading posts for
shipping to Eastern markets The
gatherer is paid for his labor in har-
vesting the nuts.
The species OF two-leafed scrub
pine which produces the edible nut
known as the pinon is found scattered
through the four Southwestern States
OF New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and
Colorado. 1t occurs, associated with
cedar and juniper trees, in dry rocky
soils at attitudes between five and
nine thousand feet. The tree has a
shrivele-A crooked trunk, a spherical
crown and reaches a height of about
Is feet. 1t grows slowly and some
times attains an age of over 800
years. Its scientific name is Pinus
edulis.
1t is commonly believed that the
plnon bears only once every five
years. 1t is true that exceptionally
large crops occur only at intervals
Of from three to seven years, but
there is a crop each year The nut
requires two years to ripen, and while
last seasons crop lies on the ground
beneath the pine tree the next crop
is maturing. in smaller cones on the
tree. The 1921 crop was one of the
largest in recent years, about 2,000,-
600 pounds being gathered in New
Mexico alone.
Gathering the Pincn
In October the big harvest season,
bands of Indians flock to the noun
tains where the pinon trees are to be
found. There they camp, moving
along as they exhaust the crop of
each area. The Indians. after their
own indolent fashion, pick up the tiny
nuts by hand from the ground. Their
white brothers, however, spread a big
tarpaulin over the ground beneath
the tree and shake the limbs until
every cone is enptied. The nuts are
