FRYLING'S FLAG is
SENT TO

OF the many strange incidents Of
tbe World war revealed by the light
of time, probably hone is more unique
than the story surrounding the life OF
the late Corp. G. w. Frying, Ameri-
can Legionnaires of Philadelphia have
discovered.
While in camp at Hancock, Ga, a
brother Of Fryling's, S. H.. Frying, OF
Philadelphia, sent a small silk Ameri-
can flag to him, asking him to carry
It through the wal and upon his re-
turn to give it to him as a wal token.
On receipt Of the flag, Frying
placed it in an envelope and wrote
on 1t: I'm case of my death return
this to s.. H. Frying, North Marshall
street, Philadelphia, Pa"
Corporal Frying was killed in ac-
ton in the Argonne, September 26,
1918, while serving with the Twenty
eighth division. Since that time the
body was returned but the flag was
believed to have been lost.
Recently a letter containing the flag
was received by S. FL. Frying from a
German lieutenant. The letter read:
"You win be surprised to receive
this letter so long after the war. The
former owner Of the flag, Corp. g. w.
Frying, fell the last of September,
during the night while on patrol duty
We took his knapsack containing very
important papers and handed them
over to army headquarters. We found
the envelope containing the flag. l
took the flag with the intention Of
returning 1t after the war was over,
but as was sent to the hospital my
self, and the envelope was mislaid
until recently, / did not send it. L
was looking over some val relics and
found this; therefore | am sending
you letter and flag and wish to beg
your pardon for its delay. Next day
we had to retreat because of a coun-
ter-attack by the Americans, and
therefore could not reach Mr.. Fry
ling's body.
Truly yours, A. Scheiffele, Breich
str. 10, Geislingen, Wurttemberg, Ger
many. Lieutenant. D. r."

The Point of Equilibrium Between the Country
and City and Town
By R Edward M. EAsT, Harvard University.

a QUEER idea not at all compatible with the facts is the "back-
IN tothe-son" propaganda. A few years ago President Roosevelt
AAbecame very much excited over the congestion of the cities caused
by the trek of rural manhood from the farm He appointed a
commission which was expected to devise some method of enticing the
migrants to reverse their steps. But things do not work this way. One
cannot repeal natural laws by a statutory enactment.
Agricultural efficiency is increasing, thanks partly to the advance of
scientific method applied to the art of farming, thanks partly to industrial
development in other lines which has had an indirect effect. In the early
part Of the last century four out Of five of our people were farmers. The
ratio has gradually gone down. Yet the people have been fed, and we
have exported food in quantities.
Today only 80 per cent of the total population are to be classed as
farmers. Every three farmers support ten people; and as the days go
by, bringing production to a still higher state of efficiency, this ratio will
further decrease. | do not know where the shift will end, but | have not
the slightest hesitation in predicting that within twenty years so per
cent of the population will be housed in cities, towns and villages, leaving
only 30 per cent to produce the food of the nation-and still the nation
will be well fed.
One farmer can and will support five persons; perhaps he may even
support six persons. Whatever the limit is, this limit will measure the
point of equilibrium between the country and the town and city. Until
that point of stability is reached. the farms will continue to feed the
cities and the cities will increase in numbers.

"But / Will Try to Be a Fair Referee Between
You and the Book"


The,only other school in the world beside Annapolis where this prac-
tce of officer teaching holds lis at West Point, but there it has been a prac-
tie to get younger officers for duty in a certain subject who had stood
high in that subject while at the Point, and older officers were detailed be-
cause of their previous experience in teaching that subject In some sub
jects the officers do not enter their classes before they have undergone in
struction on how to teach the lesson Of the day. Furthermore, the period
of duty there is longer than the average period spent by a naval officer
at the Naval academy. Thus, while the system is not ideal, the teaching
is done by officers who are chosen because they do know something about
the subject But up to the present many an officer at the Naval academy
has been ordered overnight to teach physics, for example, who had expect
ed to be assigned to ordnance. Some are ordered to teach subjects in
which they were VIGOROUSLY low in their midshipmen days and have to
get along as best they can. 1t ii a commonplace there that an officer
opens his course with the remark: "Wel, gentlemen, don't know a
d-n thing about this subject, but 1 will try to be a fair referee between
you and the book"

The Controlling Factor in Forest Fire Hazard Is
Undoubtedly Humidity
By G. E. NoRQUEsT, U. S. Weather Bureau.

The element that seems to claim the distinction Of being the con-
trolling factor in forest fire hazard is undoubtedly humidity AS it
fuctuates the degree of fire hazard increases and decreases. Tempera-
ture and wind only accentuate the influence of low humidity. 1t makes
no difference how hot the dy or how high the wind, if the forest ma
terias are wet fire will neither start nor spread. The seeming excep-
ton to this general assertion is the lightning fire that may be started
even in the rain. All dead forest materials are Microscopic, some to a
very high degree, and readily absorb moisture from humid air IT lose
III to dry air, so that to a marked degree the moisture content and hence
the inaammability, Of forest materials is determined by the humidity of
the air to which they are exposed. There is no fire hazard before the
moisture content of forest materials has dropped to the inhammabihty
point and the degree Of hazard increases rapidly with further drying,
which is accelerated by rising temperature and wind.

Unless British immigration to Canada Speeds
Up More Rapidly
By J. 7. GUM. Editor Canadian Labor Press.

These figures show quite clearly that unless British immigration
speeds up at a much more rapid rate than at present the Canadian West
in a very short period will be peopled by those who have migrated from
countries outside the British empire. There is no desire on the part Of
labor in Canada to exclude non-Britsh European immigrants who are
DESTROYS of making a new home here, and who usually become steady,
prosperous citizens, but a great many Of US feel that if Canada can fur
nisb the opportunity to the non-Brtish European, it can also furnish
fbe sam opportunity to the British immigrant And # they can see
their way to choose the Dominion as a new home it will assuredy pre-
ven the creation Of problems and difficulties that will, in, all probability,
take place if British immigration keeps getting less and less in proper
ton to that from other countries, as is the case at present

CROOKED on. MAGNATES EVADE
LAW BY GOING OFF ON JOY TOURS

Way back in November, 1921, a
group Of oil nagnates met in a New
York hotel and organized a dummy
Canadian corporation.
They planned to use the funds Of
this corporation-secured through
fake sales of oil-to corrupt public
officials in the United States and to
carry thru other questionable deals.
It is known that the corporation dis
tributed 100000 Of these alleged
profits" Evidence is in existence
to show that 100000 Of this amount
went to Albert B. Fall, then Secre-
tary Of the Interior, and that in re
turn for this and other favors, Fall
granted Harry F. Sinclair a lease on
the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve.
The United States government is
anxious to present the full story of
this dummy Canadian corporation to
the federal court in Cheyenne, Wyo.,
in the hope that the court may cancel
Sinclair's lease on Teapot Dome.
But Uncle Sam cannot get his
hands on the essential witnesses.
One, H. S. Osler, the distinguished

Canadian attorney who organized the
dummy corporation is in Africa,
Shooting elephants" A Canadian
court has ordered him to testify but
the Canadian courts order can not be
enforced because Osler is outside its
jurisdiction and no one knows when
he will consent to return.
Harry M. Blaclmer, oil magnate of
Denver, participated in the meeting
where the dummy corporation was
formed. He is in Paris now and in
tends to remain there.
James E. O'Neil, president Of the
Prairie Oil & Gas Co., a Standard Oil
subsidiary, also was a party to the
IDEAL" but he is occupying a villa
among the flowers at Cannes, thous-
ands of miles from troublesome sub
poena-servers.
In the meantime, the federal Judge
in Cheyenne is becoming impatient.
He wants Uncle Sam to produce his
witnesses.
But Uncle Sam is in a dlandary.
Apparently, there is no law which
can reach a crooked millionaire.

MONTANA SELLING
IT'S 125 WOOL CLIP
AT SO CENTS A POUND

A large tonnage of wool of the
1925 clip has been contracted for 50
cents a pound, according to H. H.
Piggott, secretary of the Montana
Wool Growers association. Some
growers have contracted their wool
for as high as 81 cents a pound, while
others have sold for As cents. That
hope eff good market for 1875 is be-
ing held by many is shown by the fact
that several growers have refused the
Do cents contract. Montana's an
nual wool tonnage is 100000
pounds.
The present contract prices are the
highest received since the war. Wool
at that time was selling at 60 cents
and higher. Prices last year were,
DO to A cents.

ANOTHER PROBE
OF POWER TRUST
Is ABOUT DUE
RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE
THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER
TRUST is INTRODUCED

Washington, Jan. 4.-Senator Nor
ris has called upon the senate, TO au-
thorize the federal trade commission
to investigate the hydro-electric pow
Ell trust. Feeling is growing that the
Muscles Shoals debate is a blind on
the part of the power trust to hide
the monopoly's activities elsewhere,
particularly in coal power plants.
When his resolution, covering every
possible phase of interlocking finan-
cial powers and control, thru which
the trust is maintained, was offered,
Sen. Edge of New Jersey objected to
its immediate consideration. Edge
declared that such an investigation
would cost millions of dollars. He said
ne was not opposed to giving the facts
to congress and the public, but the.
cost was beyond the means Of the
treasury gust now.
Norris answered that the facts
could be secured at very small ex-
pense, and they would be Of the I'M
most Importance in guiding public pol
icy with reference to the power sit
ration. He served notice that he
would resist Edges demand that the
resolution be sent to committee. 1t
IS this gaint trust, which is develop
ing the super-power systems while
s%torting double and four-fold rates
for electricity, that is presumably to
get Muscles Shoals if the Underwood
bill becomes law.

BAD BOY WAS-WOULD co
BACK TO MONARCHY.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Legislation
designed to protect the memory of
presidents of the United States
against malicious defamation" or
Islander" was introduced in the house
yesterday by Representative Reid, re-
publican of Illinois.
Along with it, Reid introduced 2
resolution calling for a congressional
investigation to determine the truth
or falsity'' of some of the allegations
now appearing in a weekly magazines
series eff articles written on Woodrow
Wilson, written by a woman friend.
The articles Representative Reid
considered defamatory of Wilson and
the republican party as well, were
written by Mrs. Mary Allen Hubert
Peck.
The passage to which particular OBJ
lection was found was one in which
Mrs. Peck alleged she had been ap-
preached in 1916 by a man who ode
scribed himself as representative Of
the republican party" and who offered
her three hundred thousand dollars to
enlist in a precious enterprise, which
had as it objective the impeachment
Of the president Of the United States.
Reid's resolution would have a com
mittee of five members of the house
conduct the inquiry and examine the
of Mrs. Peck for evidence Of
the alleged attempt to bride her.
