was accorded all possible co-opera
tiou by the regent. From there he
went east through constantly rising
hills. finally crossing the plateau into
the Egyptian Sudan. He found much
of the fertile land covered with wheat
and barley and a peculiar grain
known as emmer, a variety of wheat
from which an exceptionally soft
bread is made. growing so high up
that the field actually was bordered
by ice. Every native goes armed with
rifle. Often they had no cartridges.
DR.. Harlan says, but nevertheless the
sight was rather inspiring.
Expedition Into Knxhmir-
Besides the trip over the plateau,
the expedition included sections of
northern Africa and the kashmir
valley, in northern India. Agricul-
ture has greatly declined in North
Africa. he says. and the traveller con-
stantly is reminded of the days when
the entire country was under inten-
sive cultivation by the Romans.
Even in the most advanced sections
of the French colonies, he found the
record set by Rome never has been
equaled.
DR.. Harlan was surprised to find
that no tobacco can be grown in
Egypt under penalty of the law. The
reason for this is that the Egyptian
growers might contaminate the quail
ity of Egyptian tobacco, which has
an excellent reputation in the mar
kets of the world, and all of which
is exported from Asia Minor.
The vale of kashmir DR.. Harlan
says. probably is the most beautiful
farming country in the world, 1t is
difficult to enter, because there are
no railroads. The valley is at about
the latitude of South Carolina and
has a 500-foot elevation above sea
level. He found great quantities of
wild alfalfa, which was of excep-
tional professional interest The
principal crop was the raising of
mulberry trees for silk worms.

DECLARES CRITICISM
HITS PUBLIC SERVICE
Senator Fess Says Men of High
Standards Turn Away From
Official Life.

Current criticisms and jibes di-
rected toward Legislators, are making
public service unsavory," declared
Senator Simeon d. Fess of Ohio in
an address at the banquet of the
seventh annual tri-state conference of
the credit men of Maryland. Virginia
and. the District of Columbia held
at the City Club last night.
Senator Fess declared the legisla-
tors also were working under pres
sure from bloc movements and ma
tion-wide protests. He declared the
nation at this time needs men of high
standard and that the trials to which
public men are subjected make them
reluctant to enter public life.
"One. of the most serious problems
of the country today is to find a man
whose policy is not 'if there is any
thing you want you can have It and
If there is anything anybody else
has I'll get 1t for you," declared the
senator. He cited as an example OF
pressure" being brought to bear
upon Congress the efforts to give
the postal employees an increase with
the corresponding outcry against the
increase in postal rates to meet the
added expense of such an increase.
Congress is often cursed. but the
only reason it should be is because
it enacts too many patent medicine
remedies" declared Senator Fess
c.. d. West of the investigation and
prosecution division of the National
Association, spoke of the various
fraudulent. bankruptcies and of the
numerous schemes for defeating
creditors. He stated that many fail
ures were due to Intentional fraud
In, inc N ~ Gr
West. Edward p. Tuttle, president OF
the National Association, declared
many of these practices should be
blamed upon sharp lawyers"

Across High Plateau

DIR. II. V. Harlan of the bureau of
cereal Investigations is back in Wash
ington after one of the most extensive
expeditions ever conducted by the De-
partment Of Agriculture. which included
a fifty-nine-day journey over the Abys-
sinian Plateau with thirty pack mules,
twelve riding mules and about forty
men, including detachment of guards.
The purpose was to secure primitive
species of wheat and barley in the land
where these grains originated.
DR. Harlan found III Abyssnia pure
medieval feudalisIn. 1t was. he says, like
turning back the pages of Europe for
five or six centuries. The country was
split into great estates and then these
were subdivided, each tenant paying the
overlord in free labor or by furnishing
an agreed number of serfs. He found
this African nation probably the last
absolute monarchy in the world, now
governed by a daughter of the Emperor
Menelik, who is controlled by q prince
regent appointed from another branch OF
the royal family because it was judged
unsafe to leave the throne entirely in
the hands of a woman.
Black, But Not Negroes.
The Abyssinians he describes as a
black race who yet are not negroes
and have nothing in common with
negroes except color. They are of
semitic stock which entered the
country in some forgotten period.
The only coin is the Austrian dollar
which is coined for the government
at Vienna. Bars of salt take the
place of small change and can be
exchanged everywhere for any article.

Jail for Liquor
Violators Urged
By Justice Head

Jail for liquor law violators is
recommended by Attorney General
. Stone in instructions to all United
States attorneys. The attorneys
are ordered by the instructions, in
the mails today. to use all "rea-
Sonable methods" in pressing for
r Jail sentences upon convictions of
prohibition law violators
The Attorney General believes
that sufficient use has not, been ,
maze of provisions of the Voistead
act rroviding for Jail sentences in
case OF conviction OF a second Of
tense. In many cases, department
officialg said, the offenders have
been allowed their freedom after
payment Of fines, only to return to

Changes in the transportation act

dent of the Chamber OF Commerce of
the United States. Elimination of
agitation for experimental changes" )"
he said. was one Of the most impor-
tant steps which could be taken to
encourage industry during the Pc
riod of trial and demonstra ton"
While business is fundamentally
sound" he said in a statement filed
with the committee, there is mani
fest condition of hesitancy which
apparently bases primarily on a lack
of confident enterprise, and this again
on the realization that business must
face not only its own ever-present
problem, but the additional ones of
possible new influences and problems
by reason of legislative changes.
