Washington, Dec. 2i.-A charge that the post office departments cost ascertainmcut report was espe- cialy aimed at newspapers and periodicals was made today before the senate post office subcommittee by Arthur J. Baldwin, president of the National Publishers Association.
 Appearing at public hearings to oppose the $lQ,Q0p,OQO advance in second class mail rates under the administration bill to lake care of pay raises for postal employees, Bald win said Joseph Stewart, who had charge of the compilation of the re- port, had an obsesson that the sec ond class mail was q big burden 10 the department.
 Attacks Report
 "I think" he said, this report is framed with one specific thing in mind. to show that the enormous cost in the post office is in the han ding of second class mail matter"
 Referring to the rural free de- livery charge against periodicals Baldwin said congress established this service not for the benefit of the publishers but of the farmers. This service costs about $l00,000,- GOO a year,
 That $l00,0O0,o00 should be re- garded as an appropriation for the relief of the rural population" said he. Baldwin said he was not pres ent 10 say that the increase in the salaries of postal employes are not justified and merited.

TREES SELLING HIGH
Late Pnrcrs at AtSenEH1is Paying 
 as High as Five and Ten Dollars
 Apiece.

Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. A. Christmas trees shortage which sent prices from s5 to s10 each, with hundreds of late buyers fighting for the privilege of paying ,speculators these prices, developed here today. Small trees which usually retail be- tween g and 50 cents, scared to $2 and $3 over night, the larger trees jumping from s early in the morning to $1O at night.
 The shortage was declared by dealers to be due to the fact that a larger surplus of trees has been shipped into Minneapolis every year and that market was over-suppied. This year the regular dealers bought smaller supplies and inc tree specu- lators stayed out of the market.

Seven Passengers, All of Whom Died In- stantIy, Were Going To France For Christ mas.
Two Women Among Vic tims-CrOwd, Kept Back by Roaring Flames, Un- able to Render Assist anCe.
v The Assoriated Press

By The Assoria,ed Press
 Croydon, Eng, Dec. 24.-A Christ mastide tragedy occurred this morn ing at the airdrome here when the seven passengers and the pilot of he big Imperial Airways air express DH-34 were killed when the air plane banked and crashed to the ground soon after it had taken off.
 The passengers, who were on their way 10 Paris for Christmas, were hardly aware they were we'll in the air when the machine suddenly banked over purley down in 8 gust of wind, went into a nose dive and burst into flames through the explo- sion of the gasoline tank. All eight in the machine were burned to death and the machine was completely destroyed.
 There were two women among the passengers, five men passengers including Dr. Borbosa Lima, a Brazilian, and Cedric Trudgett. rep resentatIve of the Chilean review, and the pilot.
 Witness Describes Tragedy
 An eyewitness Of the tragedy said he was watching the plane, noticed it was flying low, that 1t suddenly banked, cleared Q nearby house, and then staggered in the air. Almost immediately gust of wind caught the plane, it's tail shot up, 1t went down into a nose dice and fell like a stone. Immediately the machine touched the ground it burst into flames.
 T ran to the spot" said t@4 ere- witness, but by thc time ] g1l 4liere the whole machine had burned away The only things I could sec unconsumed were the two wheels Of the under carriage. In the wreckagp ] could see the charred remains ot bodies-that of the pilot in front.
 All Died Instaltny
 "All passengers must have died instantaneously Their clothes were gone and their bodies were black"
 Fire brigade from Purley and Croydon hurried to the spot but were unable to arrive in time to be of any assistance. Even when they reached the machine the fremen could not approach because of the tierccly burning debris. The crowds Of people which ran to the scene shortly after the accident also were helpless to aid the imprisoned pas sengers. They could only watch the flames.
 The only thing left to do when the fierce blaze subsided was to take out the charred bodies. These were removed to the police morluary.

threw in the clutch and made a quick
jump for his chair, so as to be COM
fortably seated before the introduc-
tory sizzle of the record was over and
the music begun. As the melody float
cd out into the room through the
partly open doors of the machine Pin
wood gave it his rapt attention. He
cooked his head like a canary alb
sorbed in the strains of a tin whistle.

said Mrs. Pinwood, drying her hands
on her apron as she came into the

you're alone for that kind of music.
In five minutes I'll be at the moving

Thanks for the kind words" said

mot any of them do" said Mrs.

well, somebody has scratched our

1T sounds all right to me. Homer
Maybe Caruso sang it that way. Per-

use him sparingly, or Caruso's grand
opera voice would be overworked.
What did Unison do? / know! He has
played that Caruso until the needle
gouged out the grooves, and Carlso,
who Is by right a tenor, is now a

SOME PERSONS SHOULD
NOT RAISE POULTRY.

do not mean in this article
to be poultry propaganda. That is
to say, do not mean simply to urge
people to keep poultry. do not say
that everyone should keep fowls or
course many cannot And some, II
they can, may not give the fowls
care that will make the flock q
pleasure or profit.
What / do mean to do is to say
that If you want to keep poultry you
will probably do well to follow such
and such practices. If I am asked II
poultry is profitable. mean to reply
that under right conditions poultry
keeping is pleasure and a profit l
do not claim that keeping fowls Is
profitable under any and all condi-
lions.
II you want to keep poultry. If you
like the work, II you have fair facili-
ties for poultry raising, then do not
hesitate to say that you will do well
to raise chickens II you start right
and keep on going right. / learned
this lesson a number Of years ago
from one of the most successful dairy
editors In the country. He was also
a successful dairy and creamery man.
He said that he made 1t rule never
to urge people to go into the dairy
business. He realized that success in
the dairy business requires capital
and labor and love for cows and for
milking cows. There were lots Of
men, he said, whom he should like to
see stay out of the business for their
own good and for the good Of dairy
ing. His policy was to advise people
that If they proposed to keep cows
and milk them it would pay them, IN
his judgment, to do so and so.
I believe this man was right. And
believe his policy is a wise one for
writer's on poultry topics. There are
a lot of poultry raisers who ought to
quit, because they are not adapted TO
It. They can do something else more
successfully. But do not understand
me to say that do not believe In
poultry keeping. l believe in 1t thor
oughly. believe In poultry and poul-
try raising, but I decidedly do not
believe in all poultry raisers.

aoli REQUIREMENT q the AppIe.

The statement that "a given variety
Of apple, for the most successful
growth within its general climatic re-
gion. requires a certain kind Of con-
dition of soil" seems incontrovertible,
inasmuch as 1t is so well substantiated
by orchid results under wide range
Of conditions. The reason why this
shosld be so Is not so easily stated.
1t seems to depend fundamentally up
on the water-holding capacity, or rath-
or the moisture coeff1cient, Of the
soil. The capacity of soil to hold
capillary water, which is the only
kind plant growth can use, depends
on (i) the soil texture, meaning the
size OF the soil grain; (2) the soil
structure or the grouping of these tiny
grains into clusters. thus making it
granular; (3) the amount of humus in
the soil; and (4) the degree of soil
tiith. which is combined effect of the
foregoing and tillage.
