Holmes, Root, Eliot Roosevelt Medalists

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE, in the
- East Room of the White House
the other day, presented to
three good Americans the 1924
Roosevelt gold medals in recognition
of eminent services to the American
people" These three good Americans
were Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
of the United States Supreme court
Elihu Root, former United States SEN
ator, former secretary of war and for
mer secretary of state, andy his
proxy, Jerome D. Greene, the New
York banker-Charles William Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard univer-
sity. Holmes, soldier and jurist, is
eighty-three; Root, administrator and
treaty maker, is seventy-nine; Eliot,
teacher and guide of youth, is ninety.
The ceremony was so simple that it
might have taken place in any Ameri-
can citizens parlor, although fifty or
more notables were present. On
Judge Holmes, who was deeply affect
ed, the President bestowed these gen.
tie and beautiful phrases:
ITO you the medal for service in
the development of public law. . :.
President Roosevelt would have been
peculiarly gratified to know that this
medal now is yours. 4. During your

long service on the Supreme bench, to
which he summoned you early in his
Presidential term, you have, think,
almost unerringly interpreted the in
situations and aspirations of your
country with the liberality, the under
standing and vision that would have
unfailingly earned his approval" He
closed with this description of Holmes
legal writing: "A monument imperish-
able and unforgettable."
Root, the President addressed as
scholar, lawyer, statesmen, patriot"
and gave him with the golden medal
these golden words: you have made
America more American and humanity
more humane. You have made more
secure the peace of nations and more
certain justice among men,
To Eliot's proxy, Greene, the Presi-
dents words, as if spoken to Eliot,
were: This medal for leadership of
youth and development of American
character shall be yours. You
have made your long and beautiful life
a very benediction. Yours has been a
true and an especially impressive con-
ception of the great business of living /;
you have been a guide in your time
and prophet of our future

Chlorine Cures Colds While You Wait

of the depression and lack of energy
which accompanies cold. he said,
had disappeared.
Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, the
White House physician, who is of the
homeopathic school, accompanied the
President to the army dispensary, but
did not breathe any of the chlorine
gas.
Experimentation on the use of the
chlorine gas as cure for respiratory
diseases was undertaken by the army
medical corps in a serious manner as
a result of an important discovery at
the Edgewood arsenal in Edgewood,
Md, at the time of the influenza cpl
demic in 1918. 1t was found that en-
ployees of the chlorine plant were
practically free from the disease,
which was rampant among employees
of other divisions of the arsenal.
The various medical bureaus at
Washington have been for some time
Systematically studying "the common
cold" Though familiarity in its case
has bred contempt, it is very dam
gerous disease in that it payes the way
for others more Immediately serious.
A people without colds would show an
extraordinary decrease in the death
rate.

Young Cockleburs Most
Dangerous to POrkerS

Fields infested with cOckleburs
should not be used for grazing pigs
in the spring when cockleburs are
sprouting, advises A. L. Ward, swine

college of Texas.
The most dangerous time is just as
the cocklebur plant pushes up through
the surface of the soil. The pigs Ike
these young sprouts, which contain
poisonous substance which results IA
tally if eaten in sufficient quantities.
Experiments have proved that II
ounces of these sprouts contain suf-
ficient poison to kill 50-pound shoat
Death usually results quickly, some
what like sorghum poisoning of cattle.
When pigs are first affected the en-
tire bunch should be removed TO a dry
lot for short time, where they should
be given whole milk. grease or lard.
The surest preventive is TO keep pigs
from fields infested with burs until
the plants reach a height of four 10
six inches. The plants at this stage
lose the poisonous properties.

Eagerness Of the Latin American
nations to know the most recent de-
velopments in highway transport In
the United States is the impelIing mo-
tive behind the visit of the delegates.
and the invitation extended them by
the Highway Education board. In
the countries of South and Central
America it is held that highway trans
portation most certainly will become
a major element in the systems of
communication in these nations. Rail
facilities are inadequate in many re-
spects, and only in a few sections are
their extension justified under present
conditions. Vast regions that remain
to be developed, natural resources that
are to be exploited. can largely be
opened up by means of highways.

lean Union as the official program

tor Highway conference to be held In
South America during the early spring

Soy Beans Superior as s.
Substitute for Tankage

At the Purdue und) experiment sta
ton soy beans have been substituted
for tankage with very good results.
However. when soy beans are fed. a
mineral mixture should be fed. Several
may be used. The one which was used
at Purdue was 10 parts wood ashes.
10 parts acid phosphate, one part salt.
Other good mineral mixtures are.
equal parts Of wood ashes and salt.
equal parts of limestone. salt and
bonemeal or rock phosphate.
Soy beans contain about one-half
the amount of protein which tankage
does, so should be fed in about twice
the amount of tankage, perhaps three
fourths TO pound per head per day.
The wheat does not need to be ground
so finely provided IT is soaked for
few hours. Soy beans are worth about
two-thirds per ton as much as tank

George III and struggling to change
the foundation of government from
force to equality.
The essayiSt next points out thar
the condition of England at the close
OF the French and Indian war in 1868
forced a new colonial policy looking
toward the raising of revenue in Amer
lea. The ColOnists, on the other hand
instead of wanting new taxes and new
restrictions upon their commerce,
were already breaking away from the
old restrictions by their systematic
evasion of the navigation acts, which
were commercial regulations and not
for revenue. Grenville, ignoring these
tendencies, proposed to enforce the
trade laws, TO quarter soldiers in the
colonies and to raise tax upon the
authority of the English parliament
This tax meant the Acknowledgement
of 100000 British subjects and the
surrender of all those rights laid down
in the Magma Charta.
The essayist next tells about the
Stamp act and the protest that forced
its repeal: the Dependency act. which
declared that the repeal did not in
clude the principle involved. and the
Townsend revenue act, laying duties
on imports. Finally all the revenue
taxes were repealed, except the one
on tea. During the four years that
followed, 1770 to 1774, there were sew
ro1 of viz nf
the ColOnists in resistance, including
the Boston Massacre, the burning of
the Gaspee and the Boston Tea Party.
Says the essayist:
Again Great Britain had recourse to
acts of coercion. First, il closed the
port of Boston, thus destroying the
property of thousands.
Second-It declared void certain
parts of the charter of Massachusetts,.
following a policy begun in New York
in 1857. and so it virtually attempted
to annihilate the protection of char
tered rights and chartered liberties al
ways so dear to Englishmen. Free gov
eminent was destroyed. too. in an
other way.
Judges courts. sheriffs were made
almost the puppets of the king. They
were placed in his direct pay and made
ings were forbidden, and thus the old
familiar forms of self-government
were entirely swept away. The gov
ernor was made as absolute" as a des-
pot, and the form of government thus
thrust upon Massachusetts, was des-
potism such as Englishmen would not
have endured, even in the days of Hen
ry VIII
Third-The British government sent
nearly all criminals to England for trial
Fourth-Soldiers were quartered
upon the inhabitants. so that a mill
tary government was set up in the
colonies.
Fifth-Parliament passed the So
called Quebec act to separate the
French from any bond of sympathy
with the colonies.
The governor stood over them like
a viceroy. In his command was the
army. If a soldier should murder a
citizen, he was sent to England for
trial II a citizen should become a
criminal he, too, might be sent across
the sea, in order that in both cases the
government might have all the adyan-
tage 1t was a military despotism.
There were no popular meetings. no
criminal courts. no habeas corpus. no
freedom of the press. The question
was no longer one of taxes; that was
a mere figment now.

course, is largely semiarid or arid and
is mostly in pasture or range land.
Nevertheless, the proportion of west
ern crop land devoted TO producing
feed for live stock is smaller than it
is in the East, owing largely 20 the
fact that wheat is one of the best
crops that can be grown on semiarid
land. Wheat occupied nearly one
third of the harvested crop land in
the western half of the United States
in 1919. Fruit is also relatively more
important in the West than in the
East.
Forage crops, however, do not bulk
so large In value/as in area occupied.
Although il took about seven-tenths
of the total crop area TO produce our
harvested forage in 1919, the value Of
this forage was only little over half
of the farm value of all crops. The
average value of crops used for forage
in that year was S30.S7 an acre, com
pared with S6O.33 for food crops,
ewheat, fruits, vegetables, etc.). and
SS3.S2 for the fiber and other crops.

Works Policy as to New National Parks

r UNLESS the policy of the In
terror department as to the
" creation of new national parks
is changed as the result of the
recent recreational conference in
Washington, it will remain substantial
ly as fixed by former Secretary Lane.
A statement of the present policy Of
the department is contained in a let
ter addressed to Senator Fletcher of
Florida by Secretary of Interior Work.
1t follows in part:
Under the theory and practice of
the United States government since
1872, when Yellowstone National park
was created, our national park sys-
tenn is made up of areas inclosing
scenery of quality so unusual and i'm
pressive, or natural features so eX-
traordinary as to possess national in
terest and Importance as contra distin-
guished from local interest
1.-The national parks, therefore, must
not be lowered In standard, dignity
and prestige by the inclusion of areas
which express in less than the highest
