Editorial Comment
Farm Relief and the Scientist
(MinneapOlis Tribune)

Down in Iowa there is an increasing interest
in the by-prOducts of the cOrnfield. Chemists
and industrialists submit figures to show that
a full utilization of these by-prOducts would
increase the annual income of the corn-raiser
by $3.50 an acre. Professor 0. r. Sweeney,
dean Of the chemistry department Of Iowa
State college, predicts the growth of new in
dustries in the middle west which will convert
the waste of the corn plant into a great variety
Of products. Iowa is hearing, from number
Of reliable sources, that the chemist and the
industrial engineer will contribute more to it's
future farm wealth than could possibly be con-
tributed by all the political panaceists of the
tall corn state.
Again we have the methods of the scientist
brought into sharp contrast with those of the
professional farm relief" propaganda. The
former discovers new sources of wealth; the
latter would create wealth by legislative ar
tifice. The former helps the farmer to help
himself; the latter devises uneconomic means
of shifting, rather than Tightening, the farm
er's burden. 1t is estimated that some 2O0-
100000 tons of cornstalks and some 10000, 900
tons of cobs are wasted in this country annu-
ally. Gather them into one tremendous pile
and request congress to legislate them into
something of value, and you will shortly be i'm
pressed with the impotence of congress in such
matters. But turn your 200OO0,OOO tons of
cornstalks and 100000 tons of cobs over to
the scientist and you will hardly bewilder him;
you may, in fact, note an immediate stir in the
laboratory, and before long you will witness
the Transforming magic Of chemistry. You
will hear, among other things, that the waste
of the cornfields may produce materials for
the manufacture of rayon, shellac and lubri-
eating oil; building brick, bakelite and syn
thetic lumber; anti-freeze solution, paper and
insulating material. And the story will hardly
be half told.
Someone has estimated that an efficient use
Of cobs and stalks would add billion and
half dollars to the annual income of the corn
belt. This is the sort of relief" in which the
middle west is tremendously interested. It is
economically sound relief" just as is that
which has come to Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Montana through the stimulus of q scientific
agriculture. The chemist and the industrial
engineer may proceed slowly toward their 'bil-
lion and half" goal, but their progress will be
sure. They are seldom false prophets. They
are not the creators of illusory wealth. They
build soundly and carefully and draw upon the
tremendous resources of nature. It will be in
teresting to observe what miracle they can
work with the cornfields of the nation.

LETTER SKI

in when it comes into session in
December, despite all the Melons,
Reeds and Becks may do to show
that his campaign expenses of a
million dollars or less should not
bar him. If the Mellon machine
can't wheedle him out of it, he may
run against Reed next year, but
that's another story.
In the meantime, Pennsylvania
should have second senator, who
will be appointed by the governor.
Ware unquestionably can dictate the
appointment and it seems more
than likely that he will reach over
into his old seat in the House and
sele.t his pal, counsel and defender,
Mr.. Beck.
Assuming that Hon. Beck will be
named the other Pennsylvania SEN
ator, it may even be in the cards
for him to- serve through the next
session and then resign, leaving the
seat open for competition in the
primary and election of 1928.
Whereupon, there would be nothing
to proven, Eoss Ware from stepping
out to be renominated and reelected
to- the same seat all over again.
James Beck was not always a
conservative Republican. Time was
when he was shouting about G. o.
r. corruption with the best of them.
He was born in Philadelphia in 1861
and at the age of Il was the fair
headed boy orator of the Democrats
of Pennsylvania. The family was
Democratic and S. was Jim.
The Democrats had been kept
from the feed box since before the
Civil War, but Jim shouted louder
and louder against special privilege
and for the principles of Thomas
jefferson, and Grover Cleveland was
elected in 1884. Young Beck was
perhaps too young to be rewarded
at that time, but 1896 found him
with the "gold Democrats work
ing for the insurgent Palmer pres
idential ticket, which even trailed
the prohibition ticket in Novem-

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, Nov. 25.- Buried
deep down among the dispatches de-
failing the results Of the recent off
year elections was the news that
the Hon. James Montgomery Beck
had been elected a representative
from one Of Boss Bill Wares Phila-
delphia congressional districts.
Mr.. Beck's election to Congress
was one Of the most interesting, if
not one Of the important, political
developments of 1927. With one
fell swoop. Boss Ware has reward
ed q faithful servitor, added another
coat Of responsibility to his Phila-
delphia machine and placed one Of
his ablest lieutenants in a position
where he can easily be boosted into
the Senate after Boss Ware is de-
MED his seat.
Mr.. Beck, best known as former
solicitor general of the United
States under Harry Daugherty,
merely accepted a gift when the
Ware machine nominated him for
the congressional seat heretofore
held by Ware himself. One of the
Ware congressman had obligingly
resigned without serving even a day
in the House and there was no ques.
ton that Mr.. Beck would be elected.
He had been hired to add prestige
70 the Ware side Of the contest over
Wares right to taxa his seat and
nearly all the Ware arguments have
been Mr.. Beck's. Hon. Beck even
wrote q book, which was entitled
The Vanishing Rights of the
States" but it was entirely devoted
to proving that the Senate had no
right to bar Boss Ware.
The fact that Mr.. Beck is now
definitely a part of the Ware po-
1itjcal machine is unquestionably a
source Of satisfaction to the Phila-
delphia boss, who has often smarted
ct unfavorable comparisons Of his
organization with the Mellon ma
chine Of Pittsburgh. The Mellon
machine has presented a very re-
fined front with such gentlemen as
And3 and Dick Mellon, Senator
Dave Reed and G. Wharton Pepper.
Il was these very gentlemen who

The record, 20 Sole Mo-" from
the opera Martha" had been made
for the talking machine by Carla
Remington, famous American lyric
soprano, and prima donna Of the
San Reno Opera Company. AS the
first notes issued clear and soft and
true from the machine, Faith felt
her own vocal chords contract pain
fully in sympathy with the fright
ened girl who stood at her side. On
q sudden impulse she leaned for
ward and kissed Rhoda on the
cheek, then stepped behind her, car
rying in her heart a picture Of the
wide, panic-stricken blue eyes that
had been suffused with sudden tears
at her token Of encouragement and
affection.
San Reno, with q shrug Of his
fat shoulders, and last wild wav-
ing Of his arms, snatched the chair
which Carla Remington, upon aris-
ing to get q better look at Rhoda,
had abandoned. With his fingers
wound tragically in his hair and his
head sunk upon his breast, he
looked as if he had made up his
mind to endure q spell of agony
without further remonstrance.
For a moment Faith thought that
the girl would not be able to raise
her voice at all, but suddenly she
saw Rhoda's shoulders square them
selves, her head lift proudly. AS
the first notes Of Rhoda's rendition
Of the song rose to blend perfectly
with the voice from the photograph,
Faith closed her eyes, and hot tears
of relief welled out Of them slowly.
She had no time to wonder why it
mattered so poignantly to her that
Rhoda should impress these queer,
unfriendly strangers; she only knew
that it would be a terrible grief to
her if the girl should fail.
The song went on-the two voices
so twin-like in their perfection that
Faith herself could scarcely dis
tinguish between them. The un.
trained girls voice as effortlessly
reached and held the high notes as
did Carla Remington's.
There was no sound at all upon
the stage or in the vast dusky audi.
forum but those two voices, sing
ing together. But when Rhoda, sud.
denly conscious Of her surroundings
and Of her own great audacity ir
singing before San Reno and the
real Carla Remington, faltered on
the final note, and was turning
blindly toward Faith, the spell was

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOiIR
SHAPE?

Inc science OF form - called NOR.
phology. We may do well to study
this science in its relationship to
the formation Of the human BODY.
The conformation Of the various
muscles, bones, and tissues, and the
habitual postures we assume, are all
the results Of our physical and men,
tai habits.
The one who Is shapelessly thin is
50, possibly, because Of . tendency
in that direction, but many errors
Of life on the physical and mental
plane have only served to exaggerate
the natural tendency. The thin per-
son is generally nervous and irri-
table, and the proper practice of
thought control will tend to over
come these nervous habits and as
sist in correcting metabolism. This
type is so active physically that they
burn up too much muscular and
nerve tissue. Regulated periods Of
rest will bring about q gain in
weight and a relaxed feeling of re-
pressed strength.
The one inclined to obesity is
liable to be lazy mentally and physi-
cally. Too much relaxation with
this type will encourage the gaining
of more weight, with a sluggishness
of mind and q more misshapen body
with perhaps a protuding abdomen
and an ill-proportioned figure. Less
food and more exercise will easily
restore the body to a symmetrical
form.
One who sits at a desk all day
often finds after a few years that
weight is accommodating around his
mid-section. If his work requires
50 much Of TINS sitting posture, the
only cure will be found in taking q
lone walk each day, increasing the
distance until the excess baggage is
removed. Time for this will be
found in the early morning or Just
before dinner in the evening. If
hours of work seem to interfere,
give up an hour or more from your
work for this profitable and pleasant
exercise, and you will be richly re.
paid in more pep" both mentally
and physically.

function, and is the one to easily
develop such disorders as tubercu-
losis and asthma. All Of the stoop
shouldered type will be found to have
q poor diaphragmatic action, which
simply means that their breathing
power is not up to the normal. The
cure is found in the taking Of exer-
cises to strengthen the back muscles,
and in deep diaphragmatic breathing.
Little good is accomplished BY
trying to correct round shoulders by
throwing the shoulders back when
