NEW PLANT RACES MAY
CUT HIGH FOOD PRICES

By International Labor News Service
NEW YORK CITY, Feb. H.
Enormous economic losses can be
checked and the cost of the food sup
ply cut by creating new races of
plants, it is declared in a report by
the scientific directors of the New
York Botanical Garden, of which Prof.
Robert A. Harper of Columbia Uni
versity Is chairman.
Medicine and botany should join in
a vast plan of research to attack the
problems of disease in plants, which
offer many analogies to disease in hu-
man beings, according to the direc-
tors.
Plant Diseases Big Menace
Diseases of the great cereal crops
are now vitality affecting the welfare
Of both farmers and consumers, as
serts the report, pointing out that
wheat rust in single year has cost
the country more than $4,000, 900 and
that dry-rot of corn is becoming a
pressing problem, loss of over $5,-
100000 having been suffered during
this period in the State of Illinois
alone.
Plants may provide a new method
of attack for the conquest of human
ills. "There are reasons for believ-
ing" say the directors, ''that many of
the fundamental phenomena of disease
processes applicable to all living be-
ings may be studied in plants as
readily as, if not more readily than,
in human beings" The report con-
tinues:
while it is becoming customary to
control the infectious diseases of hui
man beings by the use of serums and
yaccines, this method has so far
proved impracticable with plants; and
the common procedure with them is
to apply poisons by spraying, dusting
or treating the seed. This entails q
permanent cost on the grower, which
in the case of food plants is added
to the cost of the human food supply
Immune Race the Solution
eff, however, races could be pro-
duced which were immune to disease
the cost of food production would be
so much reduced. It is now, indeed
generally agreed by plant Psychologists
that it is in the study Of racial and
inherited immunity and in breeding
for disease resistance, rather than in
prophylaetic measures with existing
races, that the solution of the great
problem Of reducing the enormous
losses to agriculture and horticulture
due to diseases of both physiological
and infectious origin is to be sought
"The vast Importance of such con
siderations as these has led the Stats
and National governments to expen6
large sums in research along the line.
Of disease control. But the imnedi
ately pressing problems have as yel
hardly been touched, eihter for Oui

MAY ROBSON STARS IN
SOMETHING TELLS Me-

The last word in scenic elabora-
ton and electrical effect has been
perfected in the new play Something
Tells Ne" which Augustus PitOu. Inc.
presents May Robson in on Sunday,
March 5, at the Grand Theatre.
Something Tells Ne" is causing
more than ordinary interest as it
was written by our favorite star, May
Robson.
Miss Robson has never failed to
bring as a good play, full of her own
daintiness and delightful comedy,
with now and then a tear, which no
one can resist, but this season as
"Jane Meredith" she has opened a
new well and found talents which
have heretofore been lying dormant.

artists that were considered top
notchers in the COS, SOS and 90's are
encored in the character portrayals,
and, if the fine points are resorted to,
appear to be appreciated more than
ever before. Each member Of the
Stetson organizations interprets his
or her part in a most acceptable
manner. In the parlanee of stage
folks, the majority Of them have
''been treading the boards for a life
time" and, in many instances have
been portraying parts in "Uncle
Toms Cabin" since they were knee
high to a grass-hoppre. Conspic-
uous among them is F. C. Alderman,
the company manager, who has
spent a life time in the show bust
ness, as a musician, actor and man.

auctions. It is a long way back to
the time that Mr.. Alderman was an
operator on the N. Y. c. R. r. in a
small town in Ohio, where he learned
to toot horn, so long in fact that
some of his associates claim he was
the official guardian Of the pair Of
bloodhounds that Noah took aboard
the ark. During his acting days his
favorite portrayal was the character
of Simon Legree, and he became so
letter perfect that the woman whom
he promised to love, honor and obey
for the rest of their earthly career,
objected, and he dropped the part for
a managerial berth.
%Unele Toms Cabin" continues to
retain it's hold on the American to-
day, the same as it did years ago.

old time intensity and play to packed
houses.

Ladies! Darker

Use orandma's sane Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody win Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to It's natural
color dates back to grandmother'a
time. she used It to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won.
derful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-0f-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a. bottle Of ''Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
win get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition OF other In
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the, hair SO naturally
aud evenly that nobody can tell IL has
been applied. You simply dampsn
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through y6ur hair, taking ere
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

ly. This appears to be universally
true. An examination of the extent
of labor organization among these
two types of employees in 1910 and
1920 shows this to have been the
case in the United States as WELL
Manual Group Lead
while the percentage of total en-
ployes who are members of unions is,
roughly, 20, all of the important man
ual labor groups stood far above this
level; and in 1920 when the general
percentage of organizations was. ap-
proximately 10, the same groups of
manual laborers all showed higher
percentage of organization. The total
percentage of organization is in both
census years considerably reduced by
the absence of many large labor or
CARNATIONS in trade, professional SER
and personal service, and public SER
vice.
Membership in the manual workers
group represented almost 28 and Is
per cent of the wage earners in those
groups in 1920 and 1910 whereas
membership among the non-factory
workers was in the same years less
than and per cent of all persons
engaged in those occupatinos. Growth,
from 1910 to 1920, occurred in all
groups but it was greatest in manu-
featuring, transportation, clerical oc-
equations, and public service; al
though the rise in mining and in the
building trades was also considerable.
Variations Among Industries
Differences in the extent of organ
ization among the industries that COM
prise these major divisions are quite
as striking and as significant as the
differences among the major divisions
themselves. At the same time that
the whole mining group showed an
increase in the extent of organization
from "a to Al, coal mines increased
their organization from 35 per cent
to nearly 81, while trade unionism in
copper, gold and other mines actually
had a lower percentage of organiza-
ton in 1920 than in 1910.
"In 1910 the workers in the salt,
oil and natural gas industry had no
union at all; in 1920 there was a
substantial organization with a mem
bership of over 10000. Such analy-
sis can be pushed even further. Thus
the average number of coal miners
in the United States in 1920 was 784,-
621, of which 639,547 were bitumi-
nous and 145,O74 anthracite miners.
It is known that the anthracite min
ers have a much higher degree of or
ganization than the soft coal miners.
Bituminous miners were in 1920
probably less than 30 per cent organ
lied.
Clothing Trades Strongest
Extent of organization in manu-
featuring industries runs the whole
gamut from less than per cent Of
organization in the chemical and al
lied industries to more than 81 per
cent in clothing. The tremendous
rise in the percentage of organize
ton in this industry is, in fact, the
most striking phenomenon in the
whole group of manufacturing In
dustries."

Perhaps the fall from grace of

Five of the forty-six added by

We don't expect of course that

that policemen will respect the

A FEW
FUR COATS

III RAPPERS and hunters Of
Fulton County will realize

this season from the sale of pelts
of fur-bearing animals, 1t is esti-

ers. One of the best trapping sea-
sons in recent years.
According to st. Louis and New
York fur men, more fur-bearing
animals are killed in Fulton
County each year than in any
other county in Indiana. Mink,
skunk, muskrat, raccoon, opossum
and fox are the principal produc-
ers.
The presence OF this flourishing
industry in a Hoosier county dis
pels the popular notion that all
the fur coats of commerce will re-
spond to the call kitty" Bunny"
or "Towser." Some Of them have
a pedigree extending back into the
great open spaces, and were origi-
nally worn by inoffensive forest
creatures.
What does the fur trade mean
to the animals involved? A crea-
ture whose foot is caught and
crushed in trap, then later has
his pelt yanked off, never fully
