A Protection to Agriculture.

The fining of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road for transporting soil from the Menlo
Park laboratory of Thomas A. Edison
to Dearborn, Mich, for Henry Fora
which was found to contain the larvae
Of the Japanese and Adriatic beetles
stresses again the vigorous efforts OF
state and Federal authorities to stamp
out the various pests that have men
aced the agricultural products OF this
country in the past few years. The

and other insects that are ini1nical 70

Napoleon's Wife's Necklace.

Many things that were done By
Napoleon Bonaparte during the i1eyday
Of his career had their repercussions
in history Of which he had, indeed
could have had, no conception. He
swept along with q supreme if1differ-
ence to the thereafter, save that he
desired most ardently to leave a son to
carry on his name and his self-bestowed
imperial title. When a son was born,
the poor little fellow who was to be
known for his brief life as "L'Aiglori,"
Napoleon was so delighted that he gave
to his consort, mother OF the child, q
diamond necklace. 1t was q beautiful
bauble, worth a good many dollars.
When Napoleon was depoked and exiled
to st. Helena, the Empress kept the
jewel, and 1t passed along in the family
until it reached the hands Of the
Archduchess Maria Theresa. The Great
War came, and the once powerful Haps-
burg family fell upon hard times. Pow
erty succeeded to riches. Even arch
dukes and archduchesses were nipped
by the pinches of adversely. The Arch
duchess Maria Theresa, her resources
spent, dug the Napoleonic necklace out
of its Golfer and put 1t on the market.
She valued it at 100000, American
style. 1t was sent over here for sale.
An agent was given authority to dispose
Of it. Time passed, ana the descendant
Of Austrian royalty became anxious.
There was correspondence, and, accord
ing to the archduchess, the agency Of
the New York representative was cam
eeled. But undeterred by symptoms Of
remuneration the agent recently sold the
necklace. For 100000? BY no means.
For paltry 100000 And it Is now
asserted by the representative Of the
archduchess that all she got for her
necklace was check for $1,000, the
remainder being charged to expenses
and commission. And so there are now
loud protestations, and there is even q
counterclaim by an archduke living
In America who has been engaged In
soms very humble lines d sSnploymsnt

SHOOTING STARS.
by RHnANpER JOHNSON.

The Opera.
To hear an opera we went.
The music was sublime,
And yet certain discomfort
Was with me all the time.
While the soprano we'd admire
FOR gTaces Of her own,
We knew the tenor would expire,
Slain by the baritone.
Our sentiments were far from glad
AS we exclaimed, TITS Just Too Badl''
The diamonds were shining bright.
The costumes, works of art,
Made glorious the passing night
Where song came from the heart. T.,
But in that tragedy complete
Which so relentless seemed,
We missed impressions blithely neat
OF which we'd fondly dreamed.
And as we closed the evening sad,
we merely said, IT'S Just Too Badl"

Second thoughts throughout the coun-
try are favorable to President Hoover,
following his appeal for economy In the
matter Of congressional appropriations
Many who felt that the previous plea
for aid in the unemployment situation
was inconsistent with this latest utter
ance have modified their views. There
are some, however, who maintain q
critical attitude.
"As President Hoover points out" ac-
cording to the Schenectady Gazette,
I'VE cannot cut down tax levies and at
the same time spend more. Such In
consistency breeds an impossible situa-
ton. Our Senators and Representatives
will do well to heed his words Of cau-
| ton. Otherwise we shall find our Fed
eral tax bill mounting, despite the fact
that special wartime levies have been
abandoned"
Among the critics Of the President is
the New York Evening Post, which says:
HE has a right TO stand up for the
budget. If he doesn't, who wills? But
1t was q little too histrionic to use as
a danger signal the sum total of all the
irresponsible, special appropriation bills.
most of which have no chance what
ever of passage, = It Is too bad
that. with leadership so sorely lacking
in other directions, he should come to
grief in attempting 1t where 1t was by
no means a crucial or popular need"
+ X
"Of course, the President ought to
know" advises the Lynchburg Advance,
that scores of appropriation measures
before Congress haven't the remotest
chance OF approval. Most of them are
bills which are introduced simply as
vote aetters for Senators and Repre-
sentatives. They are local or sectional
bills, and 60 into the hopper for home
consumption only. The whole AFFAIR
has placed the White House in a very
unpleasant position, and has further
widened the gap between the legislative
and executive branches of the Govern
ment." The Worcester Gazette feels 1T
is too bad that the Presidents ends
could not have been attained BY quiet
conferences with congressional leaders
rather than by countrywide broadcast"
In reply to these criticisms, the Phila-
delphia Evening Bulletin asserts that
"the fact that some Of the schemes of
expenditure listed by President Hoover
as threatening the balanced budget of
the administration are pigeonholed in
committees and are unlikely to come out
does not detract from the force of his
warning to congressional leaders" The
Kalamazoo Gazette agrees that "he
voices the counsel of sound Judgment"
while the Charleston Daily Mail holds

look-in on the profAts Of the sale. There
Is much discussion OF the intrinsic
value Of the diamonds themselves and
Of the setting, which, it seems, has but
little monetary worth in itself but Is
regarded as precious for les associa-
ton. Some talk Is heard Of the recovery
OF the gems, but the purchaser, it is
understood, intends to break up the
necklace for the sake of the stones.
Perhaps he has already done so. and
in that event the celebrated Napoleonic
gift TO his wife, mother of L'Aiglon,
ceases to be and is but a memory. But
that shrinkage from 100000 to $1,000
is severe blow to the great arehducal
expectations. This is not the first in
stance of heirlooms failing in a pinch

New Anti.Gamblinp Laws.

Granting that lax enforcement of the
laws is often excused on the ground
that stricter laws are needed, thus
creating the tendency to look for more
laws instead Of zealously concentrating
upon those already on the statute books
it will at the same time be admitted
that If b criminal can hout the police
and defy the law by barricading room
with an iron door and an electric lock
and get away with 1t, 1t Is time for a
new deal.
In their discussion Of ways and means
to combat the operation of gambling
establishments In the District the
police have suggested that law might
be enacted Under which the barricadine
Of building with special doors and
electric locking devices be considered
as prima facie evidence that the build
ing was being used for criminal pur-
poses. Upon this assumption q search
warrant might issue on the sworn state
ments of compliments that the build
ing was SO equipped.
Generally speaking, 1t Is doubtful II
such q statute could be framed TO stand
up in court. But 1t would be q rel-
atively simple matter to govern by
special permit the installation Of the
devices complained Of, ana to provide
that inspections shall be made at any
time of the premises wherein the de-
vices have been lawfully installed. It
may be taken for granted that q land
lord or lessee who equips his premises
with heavy iron doors, provided with
peepholes and electric locks, is taking
these precautions with intent to defy
the law. But the use of iron doors
and other such paraphernalia, unless
specifically allowed, should be banned
by the law instead Of endeavofing
legally to eonstrue their existence as
evidence of violation of other laws.
AS one understands the situation
nov, police who have established the
proof necessary for search warrant
arrive at the suspected premises with
their warrant and in the interval re-
quired for getting past the arnored
barricade the evidence Of law violation
on the other side of the door is
destroyed. These dificulties would in
part be removed by prohibiting the use
Of the barricades. They undoubtedly
constitute fire menace, If nothing else.
The use of paddock injunctions, APP
piled 10 gambling establishments, would
undoubtedly assist in enforcing the Law
against gambling. But none Of the
new expedients proposed will be so ef-
fective as strict and continued war
against suspects by the police and quick
and determined action In the courts.
One Of the points brought out in the
polemlcal discussion Of conditions
around the Government Printing once
is the fact that two men, arrested re-
peatedly by police, were allowed to 60
free on the forfeiture Of collateral not
much larger than that demanded from
an occasional speeder or overtime
parker, while jail sentences were evaded
or escaped by the payment OF rela-
lively small alternative fine.
Conviction and sentence to jail Of a
few gamblers will accomplish more than
new laws. More stringent statutes will
Of course help.
