Leopold and Loeb Commitment
 Papers Announced in Error

Chicago Sept. 25 Rl-An error in the commitment papers under which Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold Jr. were sent to the Joliet peniten- tiary four years ago makes these two slayers of little Robbie Franks eligible for parole in six more years. Hinton Clabaugh. chairman of the state hoard of pardons and paroles, said today.
 Clabaugh spoke of Loeb and Leo pold as sons of wealth, who are pampered pets in Joliet"
 Life Sentences
 These men. each under life sen- tence for murder and 99-year sem tences for Kidnapping. are building up fine records" Clabaugh said, with view to seeking parole when. because of the error in the mitti- mus they become eligible within six years.
 "One is private secretary to the first warden" clabaugh said. The other is private secretary to the Protestant chaplain. Yet Leopold is generally believed to have been the brains of the prison outbreak a few months ago which has cost. so far. several innocent lives and re suited in the hanging of three men,"
 Loeb and Leopold were the col lege students, whose crime marked the birth of the thrill" murder They were defended by Clarence Darrow, the Chicago criminal law yer. whose strategy of having them enter pleas of guilty was one of a series of astonishing developments that marked the entire case. Fol lowing this Darrow introduced test!- mony the object of which, as he ex- pressed it, was not to keep them from paying for their crime. but to prevent their being hanged. The court in passing the double sentences recommended that neither should be granted a parole. no matter how long they might serve.
 Clabaugh did not explain what the error in the mittimus was.

Many amusing tales are told of diff
6culties arising in China from the an.
Gent custom which DEGREES that each
man must pay his debts before the
sun rises on New Years morning.
Practically every person in China
owes some one else, all transactions
being conducted on the basis that one
may evade paying ones debts until
the new year, and it is not Chinese
trait to pay bill until payment has
been requested at least twice. This
accounts for the frantic haste In
which the men rush here and there
trying at once to collect debts and
avoid creditors
If one cannot meet his financial OBJ
legations he must secure new loan
from another person, and as there is
no law, he may be forced to pay as
high as 50 per cent or more interest.
TO dun a debtor on New Years day
is not considered good form; hence II
is not uncommon to see an anxious
creditor carrying lantern In broad
daylight, seeking to find his debtor. on
the assumption that, because of his

To Saue the Soil

There are only two ways in which
man can radically alter the condition
of the earth's surface, says Floods,
Forests and the Future" published by
the American Tree association of
Washington. One way is through till
ing the soil. Poor tillage leads to
rapid run-off and soil erosion; good
tillage leads to absorption and sta
bility of soil. The other great means
of changing surface conditions is
through the use or abuse of vegetative
cover.

Trees by the Nations

During the Pan-Paciic Institute of
International Relations in Honolulu,
each nation represented planted one
of its native trees on the hillside, says
the report to the American Tree as
ISOLATION by Mrs. NJ. NJ. Whitney.
Some of these nations were China,
Japan, Korea, Philippine Islands, Ha-
wall. Canada, Australia, and New Zea-
land. Boy scouts, children from Japan
in picturesque costumes; governors of
Hawaii, past and present, had part in
the program.

Discordant Note

The bureau of standards says that
HelmhOltz' explanation of why dis
cordant musical note will offend the
ear is as follows: The essence of dis
sonance consists merely in very rapid
beats or changes in intensity of the
sound Two consonant tones flow on
quietly side by side in an undisturbed
stream; dissonant tones cut each other
I'D into separate pulses. These pulses
may be too rapid for the ear to sepa.
rate, but their existence may be
demonstrated. The nerves of hearing
feel these rapid beats as rough and
unpleasant because every intermittent
excitement of any nervous apparatus
affects us more powerfully than one
that lasts unaltered.

Vegetation Big Help

The greatest flood is merely the sum
total of the discharge from numberless
tiny riIIs and rivulets, which in turn
collect rain-water from the ground
where 1t falls. This difficulty, says
FLOODS, Forests and the Future" pub
lished by the American Tree associa-
tion of Washington, comes from fail
ure to take into account the vast ex-
tent of land surface on which flood
causing rains fall and the equally vast
surface over which vegetative cover
may exert its influence.
