Twenty years of research have brought Henrik Hesselman in Sweden to a point where he seems able to fore tell to certain extent from labo- ratory tests the prospective proper ties of a given raw humus, and so give hints as to the measures neces- sary to mature it, or awaken the soil to new activity.
 Unfortunately, we still virtually ignore most of the processes taking place in the good or mature humus, and we are not able to say why they fail to operate in poor raw humus. When we have better un- derstanding of what happens when a poor raw humus natures, it is to be hoped that we shall be able to tell also why relatively good raw humus deteriorates. and that science can give detailed directions for practical forestry"

q frenzied crowd, who mistook him for the escaped "Lindy.' This young man, l have just recently learned, was a young Frenchman by the name of J. C. D'AhetZe, well known Paris haberdasher. who was on the field as commissary of the Aero club of France and was the first to get to Lindbergh's plane and open the door and relieve him of his helmet. He then turned and fled, and outdistancing his pursuers de- liyered to me "Lindy's" helmet.
 Thought It Was Lindy.
 The crowd thought that this was fortunate circumstance for it relieved the pressure about the plane and enabled him to be rescued by three French ayiators, Major Weiss and Pilots Delage and Dutroy at. Upon receiving the helmet l stepped on the balcony and, as the searchlight was turned on me, waved it to the shouting multitude, whose excitement was unhounded. Such Q sea of joyous. excited faces l have never before witnessed.
 The moment of diversion about the plane I believe saved the life of the young aviator. The three French aviators dashed in and car ried him away so quickly that he perhaps escaped being brushed by the too enthuSia stic populace. and he was Whiskcd away to q. place Of safety to await the passing of the storm.
 There was soon a hue and a cry of What has become of Lind bergh 2" For, To, lie had disappeared as suddenly as he had arrived. The excitement after bit began to abate and the crowd rushed almlessly about in vain search.

 Police Deny Charges

 Details of evidence on which the indictments were returned were not made public, but the charges were said to rest upon alleged transpor- tation and delivery Of whiskey.
 Some of the men were free on bonds ranging from $500 to s2.5o0 while others had not been arrested. The principal officials accused were William T. Harris mayor; Rutlidge Smith, fire chief: Charles E. Stein- hauser. police chief. and Paul c. Marion, president of the city coun- cil.

and his triumphal progress to Bell gium and England and his return to America all the world now knows.
 As conscious as We were of the fame that had come so suddenly to this daring youth, I believe that none of us foresaw the wave of uni- versal homage that was to sweep over the world. Not until the next morning, when I saw the newspa- pers. did I begin to realize the ma nagnitude of this event. Then the thought came to me of the signifi- canoe of it all, also of my act of talk ing him to the Embassy, which real ly placed the United States govern ment behind him. From that mo- ment on it was my earnest endeavor and of all my staff that there should be nothing to cause regret for this action. or to mar the lads perfect accom- plishmant.
 Tribute to Lindy.
 Too much has been made of my part in Lindbergh's success after his dIl VI Coul luC ldCl tlldL IHe prestige of the United States govern- ment is behind any man is a factor of tremendous importance. But would like all to know that Lind bergh's feat would have been little more than a great athletic feat had he not been precisely what he is. And it is satisfaction to know that after one year of adulation by the whole world and of constant en- deayor-a real continuation of his European flight-this young man goes on winning respect and esteem not only by his prowess as an ayia- tor, but, above all, by the force of his fine character. He still remains, after the lapse of a year. a gallant flyer and an admirable example of American idealism, character and conduct.

PARIS (P).-Short haired brides are
beginning to tire of the bob-trained
wedding gowns which threatened a
while back to retire formal, old-fashion-
ed wedding dresses to museums.
The revival of feminism is more Wig
orously manifested in bridal costumes
than in any other phase of festive ap-
parel Long trains, long skirts, long
sleeves, cloud-like tulle veils, orange
blossoms, lilies and elaborate wedding
corteges are all reinstated on the old
lavish scale.
Undertrains have widened out, fol-
lowing the flowing lines of skirts. The
isquare-cut court train is less seen in
Paris, the up-to-date bride preferring
more voluminous train of less rigid
character.
Bridal headdresses have had to adapt
themselves to modern heads with the
result that the close fitting Juliette cap
of pearl or strass mesh, and the pointed
Russian bandeau are replacing the once
general puffed cap of tulle with encir-
cling wreath of orange blossoms.

tilating system of the House before 1t
begins to knock the old chamber to
pieces. A sound view of the situation
which might save the Government half
a million dollars and also save the
Senate chamber as it is.
If a special session of the new Con-
gress is called in F'-~"'l or April or
even in September, ~ Il the changes
in the Senate chamber could not be
undertaken for another year. unless the
Senate should agree to meet outside of
its regular chamber This is unlikely.
The Senate moved into its present
chamber on January 4, 1859. Prior to
that the Senate sat in what is now the
Supreme Court chamber In the SO
years of its occupancy the Senate
chamber has been the scene cf great
and historic debates, during the Civil
War period for example, and more
lately during the controversy with Ger
many and later still during the World
War. Daniel Webster was the orator
at the ceremony of laying the corner
stone of the Senate wing of the Capt.
tol in 1851. There is a mellowness
about the Senate chamber which comes
with long usage-a mcllowness which
would vanish completely with the COM
plete change In the design of the
chamber which is now proposed. For
reasons of sentiment and equally for
reasons of economy. it would appear
the part of wisdom to follow the lead
of Senator McNary in this matter.

weak. A low liner, for instance, might
be caught by number one pinch fielder,
who was particularly good on this type
of ball, and lazy looper by number
two, while the regular outflelder could
specialize on soaring flies hit straight
at him.
There are other objections, of course,
to the plan. such as the deep-rooted
conviction of every pitcher that If given
a chance he will prove himself Babe
Ruth at the bat. Pitchers, of course,
are normally weak hitters because they
concentrate entirely on their ability to
whiz the ball over the plate. but some
of them are really good batters. and
all of them do their bit with the ash
at one time or another. Certainly, II
pitchers were no longer allowed to bat
it would remove much interest from
the game. What Washington fan. for
instance, would pass up the opportunity
of seeing Fred Marberry make his an
nual single to right field or Irving Had
ley smash one to left center for three
bases? And what local fan does not
enjoy the suspense occasioned by the
removal of pitcher who has held the
opponents to a few hits for a pinch
batter and wonder whether the pitch
er's successor will do as we'll, either in
batting or twirling? No, the grand old
game is all right the way it is, and
t.nkering with an almost perfect piece
of mechanism generally leads to fatal
results.

King Mihai Goes to
School With Subjects
From the Milwaukee Journal.

From the Milwaukee Journal.
A new school is being built in
Rumania for the instruction of little
King Mihai His schoolmates will be
the children of artisans and peasants,
of tradesmen and the nobility. They
will be drawn from every race and every
province of his kingdom. King Mihai
for all his heritage, will be but one more
child in this school. held down by its
every rule of discipline. He will learn.
among other things, that, however royal
may be his place, he, too, is subject to
the rules of grammar, to the compu
tations of the multiplication table and
to every truth that mankind has
learned through the centuries. He will
discover many things that princes of an
older generation never knew. In one
class he Is sure to see lowly PEASANTS
son outstrip him in quickneSs of under
standing In another he will learn that
a tradesmans boy can outdo him in
memory In a third he will see the
Ounce cap on a scion of high nobility.
On the playground he will see that
physical "proweSs is no respecter of
lineage.
In the old days. when royalty was
in highest flower and private teachers
taught within palace walls, all these
eIlillSS were SpdTeu 10 piLlNeo' Liz
throes of instruction were suffered pri-
vately and without possibility of en-
barrassment. No lowly subject knew
of the princely struggles with his
a b c's. No ordinary mortal, by
superior native ability, could excite his
jealous wrath. Today King Mihai goes
to an ordinary school to compete with
his subjects in the field of knowledge.
Though he be king by heredity and
their master in many things, he may
not even be the peer in reading, writing
and arithmetic.
Little Mihai will learn many things
in the next few years. but the greatest
of these will be his own real individual
inSignificance. He will learn that, while
fate put him on throne, only per-
sistent application can make him an
educated man and cultured gentle
man. He will see that high birth is
only start in life and kingly future
but challenge. If he is wise and his
counselors courageous. he will also see
as the years go on that his continuance
on a throne in these democratic days
depends very much on how he answers
that challenge.

LondOners Lose Their
Taste for Ripe Cheese
BY E. E. FREE, PHI. ID.

Englishmen are losing their former
taste for sharp-flavored cheese. At a
recent meeting Of food experts in con-
nection with the grocers' exhibition
now being held in London, G. NJ. Dykes,
cheese expert of the Empire Marketing
Board, reported that a survey of Lon
don stores, Just completed, shows strong
demands for cream cheese and other
cheeseS of fresh, unaged type and mild
flavor, with little demand for the sharp,
eViI-Smeliing cheeseS once far more
popular. Strong, ripe" cheeses are
now asked for, Mr.. Dykes said. chiefly
by older persons, especially older men.
The younger generation seems to be
losing what was regarded as fixed
national taste. Even the St.lton
cheeses, once the pride and boas. of
Englishmen everywhere, now fail. Mr..
Dykes reported, to find a ready London
market. Psychologists interested by Mr..
Dykes report speculate variously about
the causes of what seems to be one OF
the few demonstrable changes Of ma
ticnal taste in the history OF appetite.
Increased outdoor life and exercise by
younger English people seems to be the
most probable cause, together perhaps
with increased eating of fresh yege-
tables and decreased use OF meat. Il is
well known that sluggish dig gaStiors and
inactive bodies, resulting from hsaTy
food and little exercise. make people
demand strong hayors as spurs to tor
pid appetites.

The Ten-Man Base Ball Team.

Of surprising interest to the mil
lions of base ball fans who are in
state of Information for the Winter
months is the proposal by President
John A. Heydler of the National
League for ten-man team. Whether
Mr.. Heydler made this revolutionary
suggestion in spirit of levity or with
desire to stir interest in the national
game while the snow is banked high
on once-green base ball fields has not
been revealed but suffice to say that
his idea has received wide publicity.
Presumably starting next season, the
president of the National League would
have each team composed of ten OFF,
cial players, if its manager so desires,
the tenth man acting as pinch batter
on all occasions for the pitcher, thus
permitting the hurler to stay in the
game where normally he might be re-
moved for a substitute batsman.
1t is not likely that many real
students of base ball will find merit in
Mr. Heydler's proposal. The national
game, as it is played today, with its
drama and suspense when the ex-
igencies Of the situation call for sub
stitutions of runners, pitchers and bat
ters, but permitting none of these play
ers to return to the fray and allowing
full scope of managerial ingenuity and
player ability, is a pretty good affair
IS it stands, and needs no major
changes to draw millions through the
| turnstiles.
1t would appear almost as logical to
have an eighteen-man team as it would
to have ten men pitted against the
enemy. Then a pinch runner could
stand beside the slow-footed batsman
and streak down to first with the speed
