Artificial Light
to Promote Growth
Flowers, Vegetables

New York, Oct. 25-(By \. PD-
Scientists announced today the
successful completion of expert
ments, conducted by the West
inghouse Electric Manufacturing
company in collaboration with
Columbia University, which demon
strated that with artificial light
they could put flowers and vege-
tables to sleep and awaken them at
viii releasing them from the domi
nance of the sun.
Hereafter there need be no flower
famines on national holidays, such
as the reported S2.O00,000 shortage in
the lily crop last Easter day, the
experimenters declared; nor dearth
of dollhouse vegetables because of
continuous sunless days.
The electric company announced
its findings at the conclusion of
months of test sin electrically lighted
hothouSes at Columbia University
and at Baldwin. Long Island. There,
they assert, they have been able, by
using electric lights developing an
intensity one-fOurth that of the sun s
rays. to make flowers bloom at Il
pre- determined time, and to mature
vegetables in from two to three
weeks less time than normally
transpires between planting and
ripening.
The speeding up of vegetable
growth is accomplished by the in
stallation of overtime" in the hot
houses The plants are permitted to
sleep for an hour after shutdown. as
the experimcnters described it. They
get an hours repose; then the electric
light are turned on and the flowers
absorb the artificial light and heat
as greedily as they do the suns rays.

SHUTS POINTS OUT
LEAGUE NOW ONLY
T0DDLING Child

London. Oct. 25-(Bv The A. P.).-
General Jan c. SHUTS. the South Afri-
can premier. tonight delivered another
speech in which he reinforced his pre-
viously piain-spoken sentiments on
the alleged effect the Franco-Belgian
policy was having on the situation in
Europe. The occasion CO the speech
was dinner of the league of nations
union. given in honor of the visiting
overseas premiers.
Abiding to the status of the league
of nations. General SHUTS justified its
avoidance Of big international disputes
on the ground that it was small
child and there were a number of
Herods waiting to destroy it, He ad-
Focatcd waiting until the league had
reached adult stature and represented
all nations, and not merely a majority
of them.
history is moving at a fearful
pace" said the premier land very
soon the league may be the only rally
ing point left for a distracted world ::
ana even its enemies may come to
welcome its intervention"
WITH reference to the dispute be :
tween Greece and Italy. General SHUTS
said some very "hasty and unpleasant
work" had been done. but fortunate
~ not by the league of nations.
Depicting what he termed the la
mentable conditions in Europe, tho
South African premier declared that.
despite the gloom, he still believed
elementary human feelings and SYM
pathies eventually would come into
play. A great transformation already
had begun.
While many think along the old
lines of great continental armies and
combinations of force" the premier
continued. worldwide public opinion
is being formed, which is sapping and
mining their whole position. Against
armies of force there is being mo-
biliZed {, still greater army of the i'm
whose influence always is
decisive in the end. Gods army is
on the march"
General SHUTS predicted that Fas-
cism. like Bolshevism. would fail and
pass away and give way to the ideals
of the league of nations.

Counsel in All Day
Effort to Get New Trial
for SaccO and VanZetti

Dedham, Mass. Oct. 2J-Fred IT.
Moore of counsel for Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, convicted
of murder. devoted the whole of to-
days session of the hearing on mo-
tons for new trial for arguments
relating to an alleged eyewitness
of the murder who did not testify
at the trial and to a witness whom
he charged with perjury. He had
not concluded when court adjourn
ed until tomorrow.
MIR. Moore asserted that a new
trial should be granted because the
testimony of Roy Gould who had
made affidavit that he saw the ban
dts who shot paymaster and he
guard at South Braintree in 1921
and that they were not the defen-
dants. was vital to the case. AS
further ground he charged that
Louis Pelser had testified falsely for
the state
Judge Thayer suggested that If
Gould's testimony were merely en-
mulative it would not constitute
grounds for a new trial.
A new affidavit filed by the state
late today was by Charles J. Van
Amburgh of Bridgeport. who ap-
peared for the state as an expert on
weapons and bullets. He said in the
affidavit that in his opinion the bull
let which killed one of the men
came from SaCco's pistol.

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Portland, Oct. 25-Teachers from
all parts of Maine, numbering over
1000, gathered here today in annual
convention, were welcomed tonight
by Governor Baxter in an address
which stressed the need of more re-
spect for the law. DR.. A. o. Thomas,
State Commissioner of Education and
Miss Olive NJ. Jones of New York,
president of the National Education
Association also spoke. DR.. Thomas
spoke on THE Significance of World
Education and dealt mainly with
the recent International meeting of
educators at San Francisco.
AT the opening session Ernest L.
Crandall, director of lectures in the
public schools OF New York City,
spoke on visual aids and how to han
die them. There are four types of
die them. There are four types of
visual aids" he said, real objects,
loose pictures, stereoptican views and
motion pictures. My experience has
been to apply these in the order
named
That is, real objects, such as
specimens, should precede pictures;
pictures that can be handled should
precede stereopicon views and the
place of the motion picture comes
after all these. There appear to be
sound pedagogical and psychological
grounds for this arrangement"
The convention will close tomorrow
night with an address by Stephen
Leacock, professor of political eco
nomy in McGill University, Mont
real. Officers will be elected to-
morrow afternoon.
Gov. Baxter Addresses Convention
Governor Baxter, addressing the
convention expressed appreciation of
the interest he had in the splendid
work being done. He spoke, of re-
SEonslbility TO the children, the vital
factor which the school teachers are
IN the community, of the progress
that had been made and expressed
the hope that the State superintend-
ent hold that office 80 long as l am
Governor"
Renewed efforts are constantly
necessary, he urged and he criticized
the Indifference of parents. He
thought the most helpful thing that
could happen 20 education would be
the intelligent. consistent interest of
parents and their cooperation with
the teachers. A Parents Day"
should be frequently celebrated in the
school room. Our school children are
our greatest asset.

whatever evil influences they came

no reason to question but that the
young people of today are Just as
upright and moral as these Of former
years. and l resent the sensational
stories that sometimes are spread
abroad about conditions in the
higher grades of some of our
