Long Overlooked.
The wild North American plum has

than any other OF the native fruits ex-
cent the grape. These varieties have
mainly originated in the Mississippi
Valley. Iowa alone having furnished

regions where several Of the species
appear to have reached greatest per
lection in the wild condition the great
est development in the future, under
cultivation may probably also be ex.
pected to take place, according to q
new bulletin Of the y. s, Department
of Agriculture mo. 172) entitled "The
Varieties Of Plums Derived from Ma
tive American Species"
The new publication is professional
paper which should be Of especial In
terest to the growers of fruit, partieu-
larly those engaged in plum breeding.
It gives a list of native varieties and
hybrids showing the origin Of each va
.riety and the species to which it be-
longs, which should be Of considerable
value to the nurseryman and orchard
list. It also gives credit to the various
state experiment stations and private
individuals who have furnished mater
ial used In investigating the origin and
relationships of the varieties under
consideration.
With few fruits has there been an
equal opportunity to report step By
step the advance which has been made
since tie original Of the first named
variety was planted and cultivated in
a garden. The new bulletin. therefore,
places on record a new achievement
Of American horticulturists who have

was long overlooked.

OPEN POOL SUNDAY
South Siders Now Have Swimming
sd Pool at Roosevelt.

The Roosevelt Park swimming pool,
completed last fall by the City of San
Antonio will be opened to the public
Sunday morning, Mayor John w. To-
bin stated Saturday. Mayor Tobin
urges San Antonians, particularly res
idents of the South Side, for whom
the pool was built, to turn out in large
numbers for the opening.
Water was turned into the pool
Saturday from the city's new artesian
well and from the well of the San An
tonic Public Service Company, the
mayor said. The pool will be cleaned
at intervals of two or three days.
Although the well drilled by the
city has not come up to expectations
and is inadequate TO supply water TO
the pool, the mayor hopes later to
improve this supply. He has been adj
vised that the shooting" of the well
with nitro-glycerine would give it q
good artcsian flow. Meanwhile, the
city will use the water from the Pub
lie Service Company's well.

PROTECTING THE MILK

Ten of the forty dairymen not here tofore conforming to the standard as set by the health department have fallen into line under an agreement to produce milk according to regulations. The remain ing thirty will be required to do like wise within a week or suffer penalties of the ordinance. Thus there is reason to hope that Birmingham will soon be free of impure milk, and that needed additional protection to the public health will be provided through applica- tion of the ordinance regulating the milk supply. .....~
 The health department is rendering a public service in bringing the dairy sit >-uation up to the regulation standard. With cooperation by the buying public through refusal to purchase from dairy men who have not conformed to the reg ulations, there should be no further diff ficulty or delay. Those dairymen who learned that it was good business policy to observe the milk regulations, and who appealed to the city commission for pro- tection against competition by dairymen who failed to conform to the standard, deserve consideration for bringing the matter to a head. The public health is the chief consideration. The people are entitled to protection against dangers from insanitary dairy products. It is the duty of the commission to provide ade- quate inspection of the dairy supply. Birmingham can and must be properly protected in it's health, regardless of any private interests.

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

Every nature lover contemplating coming vacation has in his heart sweet secret, q purpose to keep tryst with some tree, a messy woodland ledge, a bank whereon the wild thyme grows or a spot in the awilder- ness known only to himself where the ele- mental spirits, dryads, fays and naiads re- vealed themselves to his imagination on some memorable lonely hike.
 In my ears all the long winter and busy spring, rising above the roar of Park Row, has rung the wild wierdly romance whip wheeu" of an olive-sided flycatcher on the tip-top of a spruce beside the woodland road and sphagnum-haunted meres of Georgetown at the mouth of the Kennebec Every sum- mer he awaits me there.
 James B. Borland of the News-Herald Franklin, Pa, called up the picture for me in his column the other day in a note about birds up the creek" Early in the afternoon we heard the loud, clear whistle, whip. wheeu' of several olive-sided flycatchers," he said, and like magic saw the Geofgetown woodread and smelled the pungent spruce.

Not approving smiles, but disapproving, frowns should greet the. vandals who, after days motor outing in the country, return empowered in wild flowers and broken bloom laden shrubs.

 It is small wonder that several states Connecticut, Vermont. Maryland Illinois. Wisconsin and California--have passed laws looking to the conservation of their most ore. cious wild flowers.

WOMEN AT THE CONVENTION

Reports from the Democratic conven- tion throughout its long and tedious ses- sions indicated that the women delegates had fine time, acquired considerable knowledge of practical politics, and mani Tested no restlessness to get away. Why should not the women enjoy a new ex- perience of this kind? It is much more interesting than teas and nah jong, and the shops of Gotham are always attrac- tive to women.
 The fact is the women delegates gave a good account of themselves. One of them received a vote as the nominee for president. It is reported that one woman was applauded when she asserted that Wall Street had just as much excuse for existence as Main Street. Another stirred things up when she waved a rooster as part of a demonstration. On the whole, the women delegates were good humored and showed no special animosity towards the other delegates because they are mere men. They manifested no dispo- sition to create snarls, and were unruf- fled when some of the men became bois- terous for tHe psychological effect

RICH DO NOT ALWAYS ESCAPE

There has been of late much loose talk about the great difficulty of convicting and punishing violators of the law if they are socially or politically prominent, and especially if they are rich. Such talk does much to stir discontent and engender class feeling. The fact that legal acumen frequently gets man off, and that legal acumen is within the sphere of the man who has money, has formed the basis of no little appeal to prejudice.
 Records of convictions and sentences imposed upon men of financial, social or political influence of late can hardly offer much comfort to those who nurse soap-box discontent, and employ the es- cape of every prominent man charged with violation of the law as an argu- ment for their attitude. A Minnesota millionaire will soon take up his resi- fence in the governments penal hostelry 1t Leavenworth for attempting to de- i. fraud the United States in his income tax return. It is presumed that he em- bloyed resourceful legal talent and ex- hausted all available means of escape. At this time a former governor of ln- diana, a man who had great political in- fluence, and was reputed to have been a millionaire, before he was arrested for forgery and other crimes, is sojourning for a period in the Atlanta penitentiary, while member of congress who invested considerable money in legal counsel to fight charges of conspiracy in violation of the prohibition laws, has been sen fenced to prison, and is awaiting the decree of a higher court in his case.
 Grand jury indictments have been found against Sinclair and Doheny and his son, all known to be rich men. For mer Secretary Fall stands indicted, and all face lively prospects of searching trial, and penalties if found guilty. For mer Attorney General Daugherty doubt less feels a bit shaky over his status, while the penitentiaries house many men of former prominence and wealth, and rich deserter in time of his country's 3 stress has to stay in Germany to escape a prison term in his native land.
 It appears that there is no substantial foundation for the charge that that there are two standards of law in this country Hone for the rich, another for the poor. The rich may be able to secure able de-
