WHISKY PLAN DISCUSSED.
Anti-Saloon League Head Sees
Problem in Making Supply.

Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-
sci of the Anti-Saloon League, in a
statement last night declared the Ques-
ton of whether the new whisky manu-
featuring plan advanced by the Treas.
ury would be feasible turned on the
power of the Government to limit the
number of distilleries that may reopen.
Under the present law. he pointed out,
there would be no limitation as to the
number which might reopen for bust
ness.
He said he hoped the plan suggested
by Secretary Mellon for "a private
corporation to take over the whisky
in bond can be successfully worked
out, carrying in it the solution of the
problem Of limiting the number of dis
tilleries that might reopen. 1t would
also reduce the cost of storage of
whisky and the cost Of employees and
guards

AS the result Of the coal situation
in England many manufacturing
plants there are being converted to
the use of oil as fuel and some manu-

FARM ILLS ARE DIAGNOSED
Chamber of Commerce Group
Doubts Isolation Remedy.

Trade isolation is a dubious pre-
scription for the remedy of the Amer
lean farmers Ills, in the opinion of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce foreign commerce department.
Surveying the agricultural export
prices over 15-year period, 1910-1924,
in a statement today, the department
also assailed the theory that the far
mer is at the mercy Of the foreign
buyer and that prices are fixed at Liv-
erpool.
Two outstanding influences upon in.
ternational price relationships of agri.
cultural commodities, it said, are world
production and the demand factor.

The PHILADELPHIA Orchestra.

Before its usual audience of several
thousand Washingtonians, the Phila.
delphia Symphony Orchestra, Leopold
Stokowski conducting. gave a per-
formance Of the prelude and liebe-
stod music from Wagner's Tristan
und Isolde" which seemed completely
satisfying yesterday afternoon. There
is probably no music in the world
more beautiful than the score of this
opera. After an afternoon devoted
earlier to the Hebraic shrewdness of
Ernest Bloch, the sophisticated Eng
lish satire on Spanish themes by Lord
Berners, and the involved, mad philos-
ophies Of Don QuiXote as told musical
ly by Richard Strauss, the sound hui
manness, combined with the spiritual
ecstacies in the Wagner music and the
excellent musicianship in it's presenta-
ton, brought undiluted beauty to all
who heard 1t. It Is doubtful If Mr..
Stokowski has ever given this work a
finer Interpretation.
The other entirely orchestral work,
''Fantasie Espagnole." by Lord Ber-
ners. is full Of gay flippancies in the
handling Of traditional Spanish melo-
dies, internationally recognizable. The
dash and surety with which the or.
chestra swung through the vivacious,
humorous passages of the three Sec
tions made this composition interest.
ing to listen to.
Hans Kinder, Dutch cellist, was
the soloist of the afternoon. He played
the Ernest Bloch "Schelomo," which
he first played in Washington with
this same orchestra last March. with
fine feeling for the characterization
Of Solomon, that great king Of the
past. Although the vivid pictorialness
of Mr.. Bloch's work came through in
the 'cellist's work, there were times
when the orchestra, especially the
strings, seemed scattered forces, CIV
ing inadequate background for the
soloist Although the music itself
seemed more fascinating this second
time, the reading Of the work did not
seem nearly so impressive as at its
earlier performance here.
Richard Strauss Don Quixote," :"
heard for the first time in Washing
ton only last week under Mr.. Men.
gelbergs baton and performed by the
Philharmonic of New York, was very
different as presented by the Phila-
delphians. Where there were those
who found monotony in the finale OF
last weeks performance. there were
those present yesterday who COM
planned Of tagging in getting into the
work. Mr.. Kindler's handling Of the
Don's themes did not seem as cOmpre-
hensive and thorough as Mr.. Van
Nliets.
There were. however, many pass
ages of real beauty and convincing
imagery. The audience showered the
orchestra with appreciation after the
clever handling of the finale as Mr.
Stokowskl whipped it into brilliant
climax. H. F.

MARIAN ANDERSON, CONTRALTO

The colored contralto, Marian An
derson. who has won the interest of
many musical devotees in Washing
ton on previous appearances here be-
cause of the real beauty of her
voice and its artistic cultivation,
gave a program Of lovely songs last
night in the Metropolitan African
Methodist Episcopal Church. This
singer won the 1925 College of the
CITY of New York stadium prize-won
in a competition in which several hun
dred took part.
In the program last night her dra.
matte singing of Schubert's "Erl
King was especially fine and we'll

tive applause for her Italian and Ger
man groups and in the English songs
and the spirituals her work was so
fine that she had to respond with
many encores. Among the American
songs sung was Night on Ways In

Charles Critics. whose beautiful con-
tributions TO song literature are too

FINAL WARNING ON
RETROACTIVE LAWS

Way Out Is Suggested.

TT is, therefore, proper to seek the
manner in which the rights acquired
prior to 1917 subsist in practice within
the new laws. and this cannot be
done except by placing the former
acquired rights under the new rules
under such conditions that. although
the legal theory on which they are
based has been changed they are not
altered or impaired"
Difficulties in this connection arose,
the note said. from encountering two
tendencies that of the created in

mand that the same system Of law
he continued and that Of the general
interests of tie nation which require
that the old rights adjust them
selves to the new principles"
Secretary Kellogg's rejoinder of
October 80 was significantly brief.
II reiterated the American position
that recognition was founded on the
1917 understandings, said that the
correspondence had been undertaken
TO point out the extremely critical
situation affecting the relations be-
tween the two countries which
would inevitably" flow from Mexican
insistence on its doctrines. and
added:

fern-like weed. 1t was brought In, he
believed, by the Missouri river which
used to overflow the bottoms and COW

Under the direction of William Stu
art, potato specialist of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
many spud is giving its best eye in
an effort to secure a "health certifi-
cate" and an opportunity to live and
raise family of seed potatoes. On
~ such tubers as are free from infec-
ton with mosaic, leaf-roll, spindle-tu-
Der, and related diseases are retained
for producing seed stock. Infected
tubers would produce diseased pro-
geny.
Because it is impossible to distin-
guish the infected tubers from the I'M
infected ones by superficial observa-
ton Mr.. Stuart and his associates
have adopted novel way of making
the health examination and eliminat-
ing the undesirables. It is known as
the "tuber index method" This meth
cd was developed by DR.. F. M. Blood
gett of Cornell University. A select
ed lot of apparently disease-free po-
tatoes is secured for the prospective
parent stock. Each tuber is given an
index or Identification number. One
eye is cut from each given a CORES
ponding index number, and planted in
the green house under disease-free
conditions. The remainder of the tu-
Der is then stored away to await the
verdict. If the plant resulting from
the eye proves to be free Of disease as
determined by careful observation,
the parent tuber is given a clean bill
Of health and retained for seed. If
disease is present in the plant, the
tuber is discarded. In that way the
diseased potatoes are discovered and
condemned, while the healthy ones
are saved for future planting in out
door seed plats.
By growing them in the greenhouse
during the winter, large number of
disease-free potatoes have been secur-
ed. These will be increased by plant
ing them in seed plats, in Maine and
Vermont, and later distributing the
crops to growers and seedsmen.
While seed stock developed in this
way is practically disease free, it is
not necessary to locate the seed plats
in isolated places where the diseases
are less likely to be carried from in
fected fields by the plant lice and 9TH
er insects which transmit them.

Name your farm home" is the slo-
gan Of a movement fostered by home
demonstration agents in Tennessee
for the last four years. More than
300 homes have already been named
according to a report received by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
This year the idea is again being
stressed, as there are still many homes
which have not registered distinct
i've name either with the extension
service or the State Department of
Agriculture. The State recently pass
ed a law permitting such registry.
Farm home owners are urged to
give some thought and trouble to the
selection of the right name. It should
be dignified, suitable, lasting, not too
common, easy to say, easy to read,
and easy to remember. It should ap-
pear on the mail box or over it, or on
a sign board, or on the gate. It is in
tended that it should be used on let
terheads and on the label of anything
sold from the farm.
The naming Of the farm is Of
ten the first step in general home i'm
provement. There is an effort to live
up to the spirit which has been en-
bodied in the new name. The indirect
effect of the name can often be seen
in the grading and standardizing Of
products offered for sale.
