Easter Lily Seeds
Now Grown in u. S.

Easter lilies can nov
be grown from seed in this country.
Once it was necessary to depend upon
imported bulbs from Bermuda. Then
Japan got into the market and ten mil
lion bulbs have been imported from tbs
Orient.
But now, say the scientists of the
American Nature Association, better
as well as earlier maturing lilies can
be produced right at home. This is
the result of six years of study as
the Arlington Experimental Farm in
Virginia at the foot of the hill crowned
by the Memorial Amphitheater, where
lies the body of the Unknown Soldier.
The individual grower can raise his
own seed by purchasing impoEted
bulbs either in the early winter or at
Easter when most Of the plants are in
blossom, and grew seed for planting
the following January. The Amer
icanized lilies blossom in from IS to
IS months. This decreases the expo
sure of the bulbs to disease and mark
eddy speeds up their commercial pro-
ductiop.
Easter lily bulbs are curious in their
response to American climate. They
will winterkiu in the Gulf States,
where the mild climate induces top
growth which succumbs whenever the
temperature drops. Under normal
conditions of winter temperature far
Their north, the bulbs remain at rest
throughout the entire winter. By max
ing pollinations at Easter time, one
can secure ripe seed the following
June. This seed can be planted the
succeeding August and the plants will
be ready for two-inch pots in January
and four-inch pots the next April. The,
following June, few of the flowers
will show scattered blooms. Suisse
quently during the winter months
about ope-quarter of the flowers may
be forced to bloom for the next Easter.

DUMB WAITER
MOON CASE ON
Attorney Says Annie Volt,
1881 Salem Ave., Was
Just Scrubbing.
POLICE BURNED ''SUDS''

* Bitterly contested, inch by inch, the
interesting liquor case of the state
vs.. Annie Volt, went to trial in the
| circuit branch of the municipal court
this morning. Attorney Stephenson
representing Mrs. Volt, interposed so
| many objections to the states testi-
inony that he almost got to the point
of objecting to the state witnesses
| breathing at all.
| He objected to testimony about a
blue flame unless the witnesses were
qualified, and when the witness over
his objection, testified that the stuff
/ on Annie Volts floor which she had
spilled before they got in (They saw
her through window splitting stuff
from 8 paid burned when match
was put to it with blue alcoholic
| flame, Mr.. Stephenson wanted to
know if it was ethol-aleohol methcl
alcohol or amol-aicohol cor any other
form of Hydroxyde"?
He objected to questions of the
district atterney as repetitious, as
not proper re-direet-eross examination,
as leading and suggested, and yet un-
der all his objections, the states case
was in and concluded by twelve o'clock
this noon.
Tell About Dumb Waiter.
Officer John McGivern and Ser
geant Schneeberger testified that they
| raided the flat of Mrs. Volt upstairs
at 1881 Salem avenue February, 1928.
They said the flat was locked and the
door fastened with a chain. They
knocked, received no response at first,
but looking through a window saw
Mrs. Volt go into the bath room,
bring out pail, put it under the
faucet at the kitchen sink and fill
it with water.
They testified that she then open
ed the door and demanded that the
search warrant be $read which they
did. They said McGivern touched a
match to the liquid which had been
spilled on the floor and it burned with
blue alcoholic flame. They said the
liquid left in the bottom of the bath
tub also burned with this blue flame.
"Why didn't you gather it up for
evidence 2" asked the defense counsel

The officers testified that dumb
waiter connected the soft drink parlor
of Louis Recla downstairs at 1881
Salem avenue with the rooms of the
Volts above and that they tried it by
sending up bottle of near beer and
the dumb waiter dumbly did it's work.
Stephenson declared at noon that

NO BACKD0OR ENTRY
TOLEAGUE OF NATIONS
tRy Asseelatea Press Leased vine

Washington.-President Harding was
said at the White House today to be
wholly unable to discover any logic in
arguments advanced in some quarters
that adhesion by the United States to
the permanent court of international
justice would put the United States
into the League of Nations Through
the back door," The issue presented in
the international court proposal, it was
said, had in the opinion Of the presi-
dent been somewhat beelouded by the
friends of the league who endeavored
to find in it possibility of getting the
United States into the league.
