Soy Beans Win
Fame for Illinois
Popularity of Crop Brings
Inquiries From Eight
Different States.

What baked beans did for Boston.
soy beans are doing for Illinois-mak-
ing her famous, says ]. c. Hackleman,
crops extension specialist Of the col
lege Of agriculture, University of IIli-
nois. Because of the widespread rep
utation of Illinois as a soy bean pro-
ducing center, Hackleman recently re-
ceived within the short space of few
days inquiries regarding soy bean seed
or the commercial utilization of the
crop from eight states and one for.
eign country.
Brighter Day for Beans.
incidentally he considers the letters
as additional eyidenee that an even
brighter day is dawning for soy beans.
What popularity the crop already has
gained in this state is indicated by the
fact that Illinois last year produced
slightly more than 100000 bushels OF
soy beans. which was more than any
other two states and about a third OF
the production for the entire country.
The recent inquiries which the col
lege has received about the crop came
from Montana, Nebraska, Indiana, Mis-
souri,. Wisconsin. Ohio, Arkansas. Tex
as and Porto Rico.
Riding high on the wave of soy
bean popularity now sweeping Illinois
is the Illini variety, new high yieldef
developed by plant breeders in the ex-
pertinent station of the University OF
Illinsis College of Agriculture. This
past year II again proved superior TO
all other varieties grown at the ex-
pertinent station and produced the
highest yield ever recorded for a soy
bean variety on the station plots.
This-was 42.5 bushels an acre in
rotation grown on rich soil. In ro-
tation grown on rather light soil it
made sos bushels an acre.
Seed Distributed.
Seed from the new variety is grad
ually being distributed over the state,
farmers in 81 counties growing it this
past year Reports from these farm
ers indicated that the new variety
averaged % bushels an acre. or about
i've bushels an acre more than the
average for all other varieties. Supe-
riority of the TIlini variety as a seed
producer is especially marked on the
more fertile soils of the central and
north-central portions Of the state.

New York. May 9.-The "red gods" of Kipling whose call some Low reaches the ears of adventurers and oliiers of fortune. have sent Ed Rarher, until recently chief flier for Genera! Escobar's Mexican rebel forces, on his way again.
 This time he's headed for Ven ezuela. Somewhere on the eastern seacosst d schooner is fitting out flor little trouble down there. ' President Gomez, who has held his job for ol years, soon is to have his hands, and Barber has joined up for bombing and scout duty with the insurgents.
 Herewith ends for the moment the whimsical game Of official hide and-seek which has been under way since Barber hopped off from Mexi- co with all that remained of the rebel air forCe-two native airmen. to be cxact--and landed in Phila- delphia where United States Attor- ney General and some customs of ficers have indicated an interest in certain breaches of aerial red tape. such as the failure to come down at the first airport for custom inspec- ton. There is also an argument con- cering the Escobar plane in which he arrived and which the Gales government has indicated was pur- chased by the rebels with money seized in raids on Mexican national banks

 At any rate, Barber, arrived in New York with the first inside story Of a flinr's life in the rebel army.

 ''rhe first thing l found out wa. that We actually had no air bombs So we had to figure out how to ge, them. At nights they would put groups of soldiers to work making them. They'd take pieces of old lead pipe snd cut them up, then solder on tin yanes made from strips of five-gallon cans. They had . lot Q! dynamite, smuggled in. or seized from mines. so they plugged the pipes with it and rigged up deto- hator. I'm telling you I wasn't any too comfortable with these bombs around.

 The policeman. James McRey- holds, and the two Washington county deputies. James Grove and J. T. Morley. said the boys did not stop when ordered. The shots, they said, were fired at the tires of the auto in front of them.
 The officers said they had been or dered to investigate a disturbance being made by some students Paul Phelps, driver of the car in which Hendricks was riding. and DenninS Dutton, third member of the group, said they heard no order to stop.
 The officers waived preliminary hearing and were held for the grand jury. Bond for each was set at $5.- 900. Warrants for their arrest were sworn out by E. NJ. Hendricks. uncle and guardian of the slain boy. who said he would spend his last dol lar" in prosecuting the officers.
 Following the officers arrest. they were detained for a short time in the office of a justice Of the peace who fixed bond. Sherin Dordwine, the officers superior. said his men had not been relieved of duty and inti- mated he might not relieve them un- less they were shown to have over stepped the bounds of their an- thority.
 Young kendrick was shot through the back of the head according to his uncle Limitations that the boys were carrying liquor were flat ly denied by the elder kendrcN, who said if anything were wrong it was but the play of college boys He said the three left home Tuesday evening together. saying they were going for a ride"

port Of the allergic study. Then the
doctor is in a position to treat his pa
tient intelligently and with some pros
pect Of effecting real cure.
This allergic testing is now quite es.
sential, well informed patients are be-
ginning to demand it, and doctors will
have to recognize the colleague who
does allergic work just as they recognize
the colleague who does X-ray work.
1t Is no child's play, making the skin
tests, IN such cases. Sometimes It Is
necessary to test patient for so or 80
different substances before the RESPONSE
BILE substance is found. This 10 as
tedious for the doctor as it is for the
patient. But the perseverance brings its
reward. In one case of asthma the
young woman had had about so or more
tests without definite results when a test
with house dust gave a distinct reac-
ton. This led to the discovery that she
was sensitive to the hair of a particular
kind Of dog, not just to a dog hair of
any or all kinds, and this knowledge
brought the longest period of relief the
patient had ever known, perhaps q per-
manent cure.
House dust is a rather vague mixture
OF animal hair, sachet powder, feathers
down, pollen, wool fiber, ETC., and even
If the patient reacts to a skin test with
stock solution of house dust there may
be no reaction when special solution is
used, containing dust from the patients
own environment. t.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

Feminine calves and ankles win con-
tinue to be much in evidence and their
contours will still be subject Of grave
concern, despite the fact that fashion
experts have introduced longer skirts
for this season. While the lowering
Of the skirt means making It long
enough to conceal the knees and part
of the calves when milady Is sitting,
standing or walking, It does not mean
the return Of the ankle-length hens
that conceal the leg entirely.
To be considered beautiful the leg
must taper gently down to the ankle.
which is its I1arrowest circumference.
II the ankle measures Z inches and the
graceful leg. When the ankle meas
ures 7Hz or 8 inches the calf should
be IS or 1917. OF course, immature
girls In their early teens and women
who are excessively thin have calves
that are not muchl anger than their
ankles, but IN the ideal feminine fig-
ure the difference should be about
inches between the widest and the
smallest part of the lower leg.
According to statistics 1t has been
estimated that 80 out Of 100 girls and
women are knock-kneed, but the
author hastens to admit that out of
this percentage the greater majority
are only slightly affected. Another
question that is frequently brought up
Is bowed legs, whose owners always ask
If exercise will straighten them. Exer-
else Is beneficial to certain extent, but
1t cannot change the shape of the adult
bones. It can and does improve the
outlines OF both bowed legs and knock
knees and increases the ability to hold
