George Washington Stone Corpora
tion, quarters of the stone of which
the building was erected
The statement issued said that the
only reason the original capitol is
painted white Is to make IL conform
with the white Senate and House
wings. 1t was further declared that
paint does not preserve stone, for If
II disintegrates the operation is from
the inside.
Color Motive Is Found.
While admitting a futile search has
been made for records as to why the
building was first painted white, Ar
thur Middleton, vice president of the
organization, today declared 1t is due
to two reasons: First, to cover up
the smoke splotches resulting from
the fire by the British, and, second,
the original color of the building was
not pure white, put of brownish
and varied hue.

PENDING SUIT IN WAY
OF KAROLYi'S CLAIM
Demand for Return of Seized Fund
Must Await Decision on Con-
tributors' Prior Plea.

Count Michael Karolyi. former
President of Hungary. and now in
this country, must win court suit
before he cam press his claim, filed
with the alien property custodian, for
return of $4,000 of a fund taken
from him during the war. Four con-
tributors to fund collected by tho
court are suing in the District of CO.
lumbia Supreme Court for return Of
their donations, and the alien prop
erty office has advised Karolyi that
no action can be taken until the suit
is settled.
The fund, reported TO have amount
ed to about $4,000, was collected by
the count. When America entered the
World War he had $4,000 of thl
fund. Karolyi's claim for return ot
the $4,000 is based on the Winslo~
act, which provides for return OF ene'
my funds up to that amount. He said
he desired TO invest the money.

Peat Fertilizing Value
Is Not Yet Understood

Every little while question arises
as to the fertIlizing value Of peat.
This Is natural question. because
the many peat deposits throughout
northern sections OF the country show
a high content Of nitrogen. often II
is claimed that this nitrogen In peat
ia comparable with nitrogen In com
mercial fertilizer.
Peat has often been used as filler
for loM=grade fertilizers, and as a
means OF making a high analysis OF
nitrogen which Is not really justified.
The nitrogen content Of peat has a
very low availability, and any one who
expects HE value OF this nitrogen TO
compare with the value Of nitrogen in
commercial fertilizers, Is certain to be
disappointed.
Peat lands may often be utilized to
very good advantage by applying pot
ash, which balances up the fertility
sufficiently to produce a crop. Some
very striking results have been
achieved in northern Illinois by this
treatment.

Size of Calf at Birth

The size Of the calf at birth depends
largely upon the size Of the dam and
sire. Jersey and Guernsey calves win
weigh from 80 to 90 pounds at birth.
Holsteip cslvex from So to 90 pounds.
This fact must be taken into consider
akion IN feeding. A small calf cannot
consume as much milk as large calf.
and overlooking q calf on milk Is just

DIR. N. A. Cobb OF the bureau OF

seem to have the capacity to take in

uents Of the air, and combine It with
other materials for their own use.
The nitrogen-hxing bacteria OF the

power and some Of the very low forms

and fungi. are thought to have It. but
the nemas observed by Doctor Cobb
