SOY BEANS GRoWERs MEE,

Henry Ford's synthetic milk came
in for some serious and frivilous
comment by speakers who adj
dressed the last session of the sixth
annual field meeting of the Mationa'
Soy Bean Growers Association, held
at the University of Maryland
September 8.
In his address of welcome to the
isitors, DR.. A. F. Woods, president
f the University of Maryland, made
eference to the food value of soy
bean milk, a product used in
oriental countries and resembling
sow's milk in some nutritive re-
spects. He said he doubted, how
ever. if this was the product Henry
Ford had in mind when he suggested
the possibility of synthetic milk.
When milk can be made in a chem
ical laboratory, said DIR, Woods, it
s likely that alfalfa hay and other
products of the farm will be pro
duced in the same manned and far
mers will be out of job.
Referring to the economic posi-
bilities of soy bean milk in this
ountry, w. ]. Morse, president of
The association, said there were
ecords to show that soy bean milk
vas in use five thousands years ago
but as yet is hardly known in this
country.
Numerous important phases of the
soy bean industry were discussed at
he meeting before the two hundred
members and visitors who attended
The advantage, of the soy bean in
reducing labor in a crop ratatior
was pointed out by w. T. Riegel, an
Illinois grower. Mr.. Riegel said
that on his farm corn. soy beans
wheat and clover made up the crop
rotation and under this system the
soil had to be plowed but once.

In connection with the opening of

clerks in the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics of the State Department of
Health. according to reports from
that Department, have been kept
busy answering Inquiries and look
ing up birth records for parents
whose children have recently reach
ed school age. According to the
school requirements all new pupils
must present satisfactory evidencesof
the fact that they are approximately
* years old or over before they
can he enrolled.
If the births have been recorded
the requirement is easily met by
parents who have carefully kept the
card that was mailed to them from
the State Department of Health
certifying that the birth had been
duly registered. II the birth was
not recorded by the attending ply
stefan or midwife the parents may
have considerable difficulty in secur
ing the necessary certificates. In
some places, parish church records
have been resorted to, but unless
such records had been kept with
great accuracy, it has not been pos
siblc to obtain the information that
would be legally acceptable.

stantly show that at least 95 per

THE MENACE OF THE SPIRIT
OF LAWLESSNESS

The writer of the article below Ii
Ernest H. -Fossap, well-knowh
Washington attorney and chairman
of the Committee on Law and
Legislation of the Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches. 1t was first
nublished as letter to the Wash
ington Times:
at seems to me that we some
times place too much emphasis on
law Enforcement and too little on
law Observance. Law enforcement
is a duty of the State delegated to
certain officials. Law observance Is
duty of the individual and cannot
be delegated. If we had real law
observance we would have no prob
lem of law enforcement.
sIn the face of the growing prev
a1enee of lawlessness and indlf
ference, no clear-minded citizen car
have any doubt as to where MS
duty lies. Either the Constitution
the Federal and State laws and
municipal ordinances must be Cd
served and enforced, or Amerlca
must face the prospect of being 2
nation of law-breakers and criminals
There is no twilight zone.
MANY diagnoses of our nationa'
illness have been made. By some
it is attributed to the faction from
the rigid sacrifice and discipline OF
war times, byi others to prohibition
by others to the jazz spirit OF the
day. None of these may be correct
No one has yet adequately appraised
and explained the differentiating
features of this age in, which We
live. One thing, however, is clear
There can be no temporizing with
lawlessness.
SIS not the time ripe for great
concerted movement of opinion IT,
suppress and discourage the further,
growth of this national menace
All right-minded citizens will in
dorse it if they allow their minds tc
peak honestly and frankly. Can
not the newspapers, our greatest
Medium for molding public opinion
naugurate a crusade to crystalline
his latent spirit of right into
militant policy
"Our nation was born of sacrifice
Whenever her safety has beer
threatened she has been saved

It has been said that the United
States has no distinctive type OF
art, literature, architecture and
other things which the old world
claims as its own. We will not
argue this question but we would
like to point out step in progress
toward human comfort which Is
distinctively American, namely the
age of electrical conveniences.
What American would want to
live in the average European dwell
ling or farm house ? Even the
hotels, except the more expensive
ones, have few or none of the con-
veniences or luxuries which in this
country are considered necessities
in the smallest homes. While we
may not have developed distinc-
tive national type of architecture IN
the United States. we have develop
ed a standard of house comfort
which viii be referred to i'm history
as the electrical home period.

When an Iowa farmer complained
that the pheasants were eating MS
corn, the game department killed
two of the birds, examined their
crops, and found 200 cutworms-
and no corn. Almost without ex-
ception, when the scientists investi-
gate such cases they find the same
result. The farmer owes his crop
to the feathered police that keep
down the bugs, insects and worms.
With continuing slaughter of every
form of bird life, the insect loss Will
be heavier and farm work harder
The nation could train an army OF
rifiemen in a comparatively short
time, but it couldn't in a century
restore the bird armies that are the
farmers allies in raising food to
feed the country.

A new Act of the Legislature OF
Pennsylvania, which went into eff
feet in that State ON Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 1st, requires registration at
the Prothonotary's Office of all con-
tracts of installment or conditional
sale, with copies or agreements,
within ten. days after made, and
makes the records public property.
1t is evidently intended to remove
ground for argument and to provide
every buyer with certified cancel
lation of contract, when it's terms
shall have been fulfilled.
incidentally, it protects the buyer
of goods from anyone who has had
them under installment, by obligat-
ing the seller to notify the buyer
by filing the copy of contract OF
sale, under penalty of voiding the
sellers interest in the goods.

MOSCOW, November 27.-The state
ment of the Rumanian authorities
that the fatal hunger strike of Max
Goldstein, Rumanian Communist
leader in Doftan prison terminated
in % days. has brought an emphatic
denial from relatives and others ia

GoldStein. in response to his sister S

consumed a few spoonsful of milk, the
prison doctor, Fluro, examined him

GoldStein's sister was informed that

SEEKS TO ELEVATE

ing Projects.
BY HARRY NICHOLS.

1y Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
MEXICO CITY, November 81
Much importance Is attached to Presi-
dent Gales trip through the northern
States of the republic.
The chief executive on his journey
already has approved the construction
of three large dams, to cost 81 800 ,000,
for the irrigation of thousands of
acres of what Is now barren land.
He Is on his way to inspect an i'm
mense pumping station in course of
construction farther south. The re-
suit is expected to be that in the near
future Chihuahua will be the most fer
tile State in the whole republic
It IS planned that many unculti-
waited tracts of land in northern Mex
leo shall be fully productive by the
time the big road scheme to the
American border Is completed. This
work already is well in hand under
the direction of an American con-
good road transit from hundreds of
villages not reached by railways.
President Gales has assured small
farmers who asked him for financia!
aid that there soon will be established
agricultural banks. from which funds
will be forthcoming to insure the sue
cessful harvesting of their crops.
The president now is keeping the
promise made to the small farmers
when he was a candidate for chief ex-
ecutive and which gained him many
votes. His promise was that one Of
his main efforts would be to make
Mexico independent agriculturally-
that is, that nothing which could
possibly be grown on Mexican land
should be imported.
At various points where Gen. Gales
is now visiting large agricultural col
leges are being built, at which the
young Mexican generation. the sons
of the land workers. will be taught
scientific farming. One of the colleges
will be opened to students on January
1. The whole present scheme is
largely in keeping with the presidents
recent statement that before the end
of his term of Office the government
would spend not less than $4,000, 600
on irrigation and other land improve
mentS throughout Mexico.
