Confirmation Lacking Here.

Division of Tacna africa between
Chile, Peru and Bolivia is conceded to
be the basis Of settlement negotiations
in progress here, but the pledged
secrecy that has guarded them still
serves to withhold confirmation.
Secretary Kellogg and the Peruvian
and Chilean Ambassadors steadfastly
have declined to discuss the trend
of the conversations except to say
that they were continuing and that
4 settlement was hoped for.
Partition of the two provinces be-
tween Chile and Peru in such man
ner as to provide Bolivia with her
long desired channel to the sea has
been the favored settlement plan Of
Secretary Kellogg and it is thought
here he would give his utmost sup
port to it. While Peru is said to
indorse the division plan, its final
acceptance hinges upon Chile's and
Perus approval. The Chilean AM
baSSadOr is awaiting instructions
from his government on that point.
While it is understood the division
plan is to be considered by the
Peruvian congress which is to meet
soon.

Chewing Gum Ban
Withdrawn in Navy
On Moffett's Advice

After a 15-year exclusion, chew
ing gum has been readmitted TO
good standing in the Navy and Will
hereafter be sold to the men aboard
ship.
It's sale was banned in 1911 on
recommendation of Capt. w. f.
F'ullam, in command of the battle
ship Mississippi, and since retired
as an admiral. He informed the
Navy Department that many com
plants of men chewing gum III
ranks arose from it's sale on ship.
At the suggestion of a chewing
gum company, Senator Mckinley
of Illinois took up the matter with
secretary Wilbur recently, and an
order has been issued to restore it
TO ships stores.
Reinstatement of the gum was
recommended by Admiral Moffett,
chief of naval aviation, who pointed
out that many aviators use it.

CHILE HOLDS KEY
TO AFRICA ACCORD
Partition Plan Hinges on AbiI-
ity to Get Congressional
Approval.
By the Associated Press.

hS tne Associated Press.
AFRICA. Chile, May 20--Insis.ent
reports that a settlement of the dis
pute between Chile and Peru over the
Suzerainty of the provinces of TaCna
and africa has been reached in Wash
ington have been received here. The
plebiScite commissioners insist that
they have not been informed by their
governments of any final agreement.
The general impression is that final
announcement of the ending of the
dispute will be dependent on whether
the Chilean government will be able
to convince the Chilean congress and
public of the advisahility for accept
ing a direct settlement.
1t is thought by most of the plebis-
cite authorities that while Secretary
of State Kellogg'S proposal for n par
titioning of the two provinces between
Chile, Peru and Bolivia. 10 that Bo-
livia may have an outlet to the sea, is
deemed acceptable by the AmbasSa
doris in Washington. it remains to be
seen whether the Chilean government
believes it can obtain congressional
ratification to such a partition.

Weather Man Albert Cook
Gives Dope on Orchard
Heating .

Efficient orchard heating demands
an economical use of labor and fuel
and requires knowledge of the tenn.
peratures that cause injury to the
buds or blossoms. Growers frequently
light the heaters too soon, in order
to maintain a margin of safety, re-
sulting in needless burning OF oil
or briquettes. On the other hand,
some of the less cautious growers
wait until the critical temperature is
reached before lighting the heaters
and. as result, often suffer some
loss of fruit. -,..... .~s- b..
From a reading of the popular lit
erature on the subject one would be
lead to infer that the buds have a
definite critical temperature and
when this temperature is reached
they all freeze. This is wide of the
truth. There is a range of several
degrees between the highest temper
ature that will kill or 4 per cent of
the buds and the temperature that
will kill all of them. It should be
remembered that on the same branch
are buds that have swollen but slight
~ while others are in full bloom.
