Tough Year for Writers,
Fans in Big Ten Assured

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 19.-The
Oosterbaans, Mitterwalners and Tx
kelbergs, whose names harried head
line writer's and gagged radio an
nouncers, have gone, but the Big
Ten has plenty Of trick names to
replace them.
Ohio State offers BueSchsenschuss,
Ujhelyi, Kazmerchak, Wiragos and
Err, which Indiana matches with
Magnabosco, Antonini and Hojnac-
XII among others. Wisconsin's threats
to easy foot ball conversation are
Lubratovitch and Ketelaar, which
are not SO bad when Minnesota pre-
sents Pulkrabek, Kakela and Ola.
Illinois has NuSspickel and Yanus-
kus to stack up against Yunevick of
Purdue, Diedendorf OF Chicago and
Capt. Joe Truskowski of Michigan.

To Take Place of Wilson

Midshipman John F. Greathouse

heaviest member of the Naval Acad-
envy foot ball squad. . Both are
tackles, Wilson graduating last June

CALLING
PROSPECTOR

EDMONTON. Alberta, May TO-
Charles Mcleod, veteran prospec-
tor, will attempt this summer to re-
stake the gold claims which a decade
ago cost the lives of his two broth
ers.
In the Nahanni River district, a
land of mystery and tragedy, gold
is reported to be plentiful. 1t will
be the scene of a great stampede
this year, but Mcleod. who is asso-
ciated with the Dominion Explora'
ton Company, will be the first on
the>Scene.
McLeod's brothers were slain by
another prospector after they had
secured $4,000 worth of alluvial gold.
For a long time their fate was I'M
known. The brother tried to pene.
trate the tragedy, but failed. Then
the airplane solved his troubles.
Planes already have established
bases in the area and a regular air
jitney service will be in operation
before the middle of June. Few
white men ever have penetrated the
Nahanni district and still fewer have
survived. Bones of the dead have
lain for years on the trail.
The new gold field lies in the
southwestern portion of the North
west Territories. 1t is between the
Lizard and the Mackenzie rivers and
the nearest post is Fort Simpson.
Old cashes, abandoned guns and
equipment dating back almost SO
years are being unearthed as the
modern gold hunter uncovers the
history of mans futile attempt to
reach the fields.

Special Quarters
Special quarters should be pro-
vided for fathers, In which they may
be comfortable. ana where they may
wait, instead Of pacing the halls In
the midst Of armies Of disinterested
whits-coated nurses ana internes.
A hostess should be employed by
the hospital to entertain the worried
parent, to administer to his mental
anguish and to issue the latest bulle'
tins Of progress In the operating
room.
Fathers, according to DR.. Walsh,
have been made the butt Of comic
strip ridiculo long, while in fact
their mental anguish was great, and
their suffering acute. with slight
attention from anyone.
Need Attention

cultivate the personal elemtn II
their relations with patients, and to
become living, vital units instead Of

FOUND IN
POTATO

PHILADELPHIA, May 20.--Ex-
periments that promise a time when
the farmer won't need any debenture
nlan were revealed last night to the
Philadelphia section Of the American
Society Of Chemists.
A hint was given Of a time when
farmers will go to scientists with
their problems.
A quick, eager-eyed man In din
ner coat displayed bits OF magic
that drew gasps from the chemists.
themselves workers in things that .
comparatively few years ago would
have been called sorcery.
He told of outwitting nature, Of
awakening plants by poison, OF reviv-
ing them by chloroform and ether,
Of growing two crops Of potatoes
in one year, Of concord grapes In
April, of upsetting fundamental
principles of heredity.
Trees Take Maps
He showed how from the humble
potato may come a clew to the mys.
terry of life.
The speaker was DR.. F. c. Denney.
director of the Boyce-Thompson In
stitute of Plant Research. Yonkers'
N. Y. His topic was Chemical
Treatments for Shortening Rest
Periods of Plants"
Most plants, he explained, have
periods of dormancy-times when
they don't grow. Cuttings from
freshly harvested potatoes, for in.
stance, will not grow until months
later.
Trees and shrubs stop growing in
the winter, not because Of weather
conditions as popularity supposed,
but because they are taking rest
period, he declared.
It was into these rest periods that
his experiments poked. And ne
found there was a way to make the
plants snap out Of it" and grow.
Found the Secret
He experimental with innumerable
combinations of some ESQ chemicals
before he found several that would
do the trick. The best, he said
turned out to be / per cent
| solution of sodium thiocyanate,
Potato cuttings soaked in this would
grow at once.
The treatment, he declared, makes
possible the growing Of two crops
| of potatoes in one season In the
| Southern sections of the country,
Perhaps. he indicated, other solutions
would increase the rate Of growth
and make it possible in this section
also.

NEW YORK. May 20 U.N.sl-
How many visitors from other cities
register at New York hotels dur.
ing the vacation months" OF spring
and summer?
A recent interview granted In
ternational News Service by Of.
ficials Of the New York Hotel
Owners Association revealed SONS
surprising facts in connection with
this question.
First came the statement that
approximately $4,000 out-of-townera

tiers in the metropolis every day
during the months Of June, july
August and September.
These figures, Of course. are
swelled considerably on days ana
week-ends when conventions are

Next, came the assertion that.
according to reliable estimates, APP

vacationers. This II It held the.
year round, would be at the rate OF
81, LIE, 100000 annually. How much
10 paid by visitors TO the railroads
for transportation to New York
from their home cities can only b.
guessed at.
The hotels, naturally, get the
lions share Of this daily flood oe
provincial dollars. There are about.
20 first class hostelriss in New
York city proper and 1t can easily
be figured that each one Of them
must take In more than 100000 Q

Federal Reserve banks in New

the Federal Reserve Board to
sanction advances in their redis-
count rates but that the board
had forbidden such action. This Is
within its power. But IL the lead

that the Reserve Board has lost

cost S% per cent to 9 per cent
contrasted with 5A per cent to

due entirely to heavier lending
from non.bank sources. Such loans
are today 81, 450, 100000 larger
than year ago. an increase OF
not far from 100, per cent.
This enormously important new
element in Americas money mar
ket reduces the significance Of
the weekly bank reports and also
the power OF the Reserve authori"
ties over the money market. Cor
porate and other non-bank lenders
are not obliged to carry reserves,
as are banks. BY and by this sit
uation is bound to invite attention
from our lawmakers.
