Spinach Growing.
\ HANDY argument for the Young

A HANDY argument for the youngster
who doesn't like spinach, but is in
vited with parental emphasis to partake
thereof, can be found in the statistics
en- seed importation compiled by the
Department Of Commerce. Americans
appear too fond Of their spinach, or. at
any rate, too addicted to It to allow it
to 60 to seed, and millions Of pounds of
the seeds are imported for growers in
this country. In 1924 this ngure reached
1900, 900 pounds, but In 1926 there was
a decline to $4,000 pounds. The fol-
lowing year the figure was 2,471 900
pounds and In 1927 there was another
small decline to 2,085, 764 pounds. The
reports for 1928 are not yet available.
Statistics are lacking, but It is likely
that II all the spinach forced upon chill
dren against their will could have been
allowed to 60 10 seed, enough American
seed would be left over annually 10 sup

Days and nights among the giant
redwoods! remember Mrs Hoover
strolltng along the little fern-bordered
trails that threaded the forest, playing
with the motion picture camera that
was part Of our equipment, sitting about
the camp fire In the evenings.
This new first lady never looked
musSy. as do most campers, although
she gave no more heed to her clothes
than the rest Of us. Her short tweed
sports suit did not wrinkle. her pongee
blouse, with the blue tie, always looked
fresh. The feather lost by a careless
bluejay, which she had stuck in the
band Of her soft straw hat, was always
perky. Also, her clear, pale skin did
not tan or burn, however long she was
out in the bright sunshine.
Usually on our rambleS she and her
father strolled ahead, arm in arm, the
rest OF us struggling along as we chose
She could always identity for us an
oddly colored rock-her knowledge of
geology, general or specific, Is as def
mite as on the day she finished college
Likewise she could place for us an un-
familiar flower or a new bird-yet never
with the slightest hint Of pedantry.
ONCE when we were eating supper
. queer sound pierced the dusk
something between whistle and call,
repeated at regular intervals. Some one
nervously inquired what it was.
Mrs. Hoover laughed. "Only squir-
rel"
This did not sound like squirrel talk,
and one OF US said as much.
But 1t is" Mrs. Hoover explained.
"Once a squirrel sat outside my window
in Washington and pulled out his
cheeks and talked just like that for
half an hour. was so busy watching
him that forgot my letters"
We investigated, and sure enough,
high on q redwood limb perched the
small gray creature, making those
meditative remarks. 1t SO happened
that none Of US had heard one do this
before, save Mrs. Hoover. Her powers
OF observation are unusually alert.

WHEN Champion Gene Iunney. re-
w firing to private life, said that he
was tired Of leading the life Of gold
fish, he little dreamed that the gilded
monarch Of the glass globe was going
into an involuntary retirement on his
own account, or that the fish's title
was being contested by even o queerer
lot than the scrambled bunch Of claim
ants for the crown Of the ex-heavy-
weight king.
But that is the situation today in the
finny kingdom Of everlasting publicity.
Aquarists who take their hobby seri-
ously have dccreed almost unanimously
that the goldfish has been bred so far
away from his original ancestors that
he Is, hardly a fish at all. And they
are securing the tropical world for its
many weird, colorful water creatures
to select new champion.
This latest fad has everything In its
favor. To begin with, small globe,
such as the poor goldfish was won't to
linger In few days before suffocating,
will accommodate quite o collection of
the tiny tropical pets, whose native
waters furnish little oxygen, so that
they are equipped naturally to be COM
Portable In conditions that would be
impossible for any fish Of our own
cline.
The goldfish Is q carp and he Is pay
I ing the penalty for carp sluggishness
The more highly bred he Is, the more
helpless his condition. How could he
hope to compete In interest with DART
ing wild fellows, each with his own
peculiar natural habits7 He requires q
pool to breed fri, whereas most Of the
tropical fish bear and rear their young
In small tanks, 10 that the possessor Of
q pair Is liable to witness the birth Of
nation almost any minute.
And our poor old goldfish pet has few
color variations His fms may become
longer and, his body fatter by intensive
breeding. But his new rivals recognize
no color limitations at all. Most Of
them are chaimeleonic. changing In
stantly from paleness to vivid hues, ac-
cording to, their lightings They are
fanciful to- the extreme In IN display
and In body formation.
In variety Of breeding and parent

Often he would say to her, "Dosyou re-

They had been pals from the days Of

EXTRA SESSION INDICATED F0R
 EARLY SPRING
DESIRE OF NEW LEADERS TO MATTERS OUTOF WAY AS
 SOON AS POSSIBLE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan, IA, P)-Herbert Hoover, as a result of conferences with Republican con- gressional leaders, is expected to call an extra session of Congress in the early spring.
 Such a session is considered in evitable irrespective of whether farm leglislation is enacted before March 4 because the revision of a number of tariff schedules, indus trial as well as agricultural will be made because it is the desire of those, who will be leaders in the next administration, to get this out of the way as speedily as pos- sible so there will be little distur- bance in industrial and agricul- tural areas.
 As the situation is outlined the tariff revision will be taken up con- currently with farm Legislation, and will be an auxiliary to it since it is the purpose to afford a meas ure of protection to agriculture comparable with that given other industries under the existing re- vised law.

STOCK PRICES DROP
IN SHARP REACTION.
Rail Case Decision Followed
by Rally and General
Decline.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 20-,The stock
market went into a sharp nose dive in
the last hour of trading today after an
earlier outburst of buying in the rail-
road stocks, inspired by the United
States Supreme Courts decision favor
able 10 the st. Louis & OFallon Rail-
road in the famous valuation case, had
carried scores of rail stocks up to 2212
points. The railroad issues quickly
dipped to 10 points below the early
high levels and a long list of industrials
crashed 4 to Is points below last weeks
closing quotations.
There was nothing in the days news
to explain the sudden change in specu-
lative sentiment, although the general
market had been heading downward for
the greater part Of the day. Wall
Street long has been expecting that a
favorable decision would start a gen.
eral revival of bullish activity, and
when this failed to develop, professional
operators started a concerted bear"
attack on the general list. which was
swelled by large volume of liquidation
by frightened investors and small
Spectators.
Prices developed irregularity at the
opening. TranScontinental Oil opened
with block of $4,000 shares at 1875,
up 13s. Initial gains of a point each
were recorded by General Asphalt,
Allied Chemical and Liquid Carbonic.
Advance Rumely preferred dropped re
points on the first sale to 50, which
contrasts with the years high of 119.
General Electric fell 2l2 points and
Anaconda, Radio and Mathieson Alkali
each yielded a point.
Uneasiness over the credit situation,
intensified by reports that directors of
the New York and Chicago Federal Re
serve Banks were seeking approval for
higher rediscount rate, brought
over the week end. With the excep-
ton of the Advance Rumley issues,
which broke sharply to around the
years low levels, the early selling was
fairly we'll absorbed, with declines held
to a point or two.
BulliSh operations were not entirely
abandoned, Sparks wilmington, which
was strong lastt week, jumped Is points
to another new high at 275 and Ameri-
can Commercial Chemical touched
new peak at SIS. Merchandising shares
were in fairly good demand as a result
