CHEMICALS USED

Quack Grass Bows Before

Quack grass. with the possible ex-

The idea of killing weeds with
chemicals Is old. agriculturists explain,
but heretofore none has been found
that does not injure fertility of the
soil for approximately two years after
application, and often indefinitely.
Experiment Successful.
Although the roots frequently fill the
soil to depth of feet, bindweed,

Quack grass, which first attracted
serious attention about 1887, when it
was noticed in gardens in the vicinity
Of Philadelphia, probably is a native
OF Europe. 1t is known by various
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, wiregrass, couch
grass and others-and is a vigorous
perennial related to common wheat and
widely distributed in cool, moist cli-
mates. probably causing more monetary
loss than any other single species of
plant.
On small areas 1t sometimes Is de-

effectual efforts made by the United
States for many years to suppress
the doctrine of dual citizenship.
Cefalu, born in America of Italian
parents, landed in Providence, Il. l.,
on the S. S. Sinaia, on Sunday and
told his story of having narrowly
escaped serving two years In the
Italian army because his parents
were born there. 1t takes two gen.
erations Of naturalization to remove
the conscription requirement.
The State Department, to meet
lust such a situation, issues an
nually a special notice to bearers
of American passports pointing OUT
the pitfalls to those whose origin
happens to be other than native
American.
Some Countries In Treaty
One section is devoted TO the
status of naturalized citizens in
countries with the governments Oh
which have naturalization treaties,
and in these single allegiance u

giurn, Bulgaria. Denmark, Germany,
Hungary, Norway, Portugal ana
Sweden. There Is virtually no
danger in the return to their native
land of former nationals.

other countries vary, generally
speaking, renunciatio of citizenship

military service under the conscript
system is usually by special arrange

INQUIRIES
By Intsrpatlonal News Service

BY international News Service
A less benevolent attitude In
furnishing advice to corporations
considering large mergers as to
legality Of their prospective COM
binations may be adopted by the
Department of Justice, as result
Of conferences between Attorney
General Mitchell and John Lord
O'Brien. his assistant. Il was learned
today.
In this connection It was stated
that the department IL investigating
carefully into all big combinations
OF business at present having more
than GO Inquiries under way. While
formerly the department did not
usually make investigations until
complaints were filed all mergers
coming to the attention OF the anti
trust division are now put under
scrutiny.
Modification Is Considered
A possible modification OF the
policy adopted by Attorney General
Sargent and his first assistant, Col.
, William j. Donovan. has been seri.
ously considered. Under that sys-
tenn officials OF the merging corpor.
ations were permitted to lay their
cards on the table at the department.
They were given informal informa.
tion of any possible violations. or in.
formed that there appeared TO be
nothing contrary to the Sherman or
Clayton Laws. This attitude was
based upon an interpretation that
| these laws were preventive as well
- ra,,.,ffiun Al 1NTraN
It Is not believed that protective
merging corporations will get much
| information out of the department
| In the future. owing to the more
| wary attitude OF the Mitchell ad-
| ministration.
/ The matter assumes considerable
| significance in view of the ever
widening tendency for consolida-
| tions. This economic change Is ex-
tending to all phases Of commerce
and industry from banking. TO
manufacturing and trading.
1888 Mergers in Decade
| Official reports show there we're
/ 238 large mergers between 1919
ana 1929. involving Abe concerns.
! Among the mergers were 124 oil
conpa MES. 27O iron and steel and
1913 in the food industry. Records
| indicated that consolidation has been
a general movement rather than one
| confined to any particular industry.
"The present mergers are unlike
! those OF the great combination
period at the end of the nineteenth
Ecentury," said the report OF he
Presidents committee on recent
economic changes. In the earlier
| instances. the incentives wee
usually the formation of a monopoly.
The present mergers often appear
| to be quickly followed by new fl.

desire for additional capital is an
important motive.
