Daring

"In 1900. fashionable woman's
costume weighed no more than eight
ounces" says writer in Harper's Ba-
gar. "Greek looking garments which
included the long, transparent chemise.
slit open to as high as the hip. were
worn over flesh tights, all underwear
having been discarded. The result Of
such folly was what doctors of the
period described as muslin diseases,
otherwise catarrhal complaints. A rec
ord exists stating that during the win
ter Of 1903 alone 10000 women suf-
fered from what was nothing else but
consumption"

Justiee in Abyssinia

In one respect the Abyssinian courts
would meet the approval of that
Shakespearean character who urged
the killing Of all lawyers. The legal
profession is practically nonexistent in
Abyssinia and each man tries his own
case. For important cases there are
regular courts presided over by ap-
pointed judges. The chief justice Of
Abyssinia rejoices in the title Of
Breath Of the King" For minor
cases. however, impromptu courts are
called and any passerby may be called
on to act as judge.

White House Baths

Charming Dolly Madison" one Of
the most gracious of White House
mistresses, set aside rooms for bath
ing, and instituted the first Presiden-
tial bathtubs. These bathtubs remained
in the White House only until the en-
trance of Andrew Jackson, first plebe-
ian President, who promptly chucked
them out of doors for representing
something decidedly undemocratic,
and therefore offensive to the COM
mon people. However, the bathtub
returned with the fastidious Fillmore
to remain -evermore enshrined, al
though the Fillmore tub has long since
been replaced.

Experiment Station Important
Factor In RAttAr Farming

EACVOE Al DctUOK IA mAMS
The Agricultural Experiment
Station of the University OF
Maryland completed its forty
second year on June l, with an
enviable record of achievement
and of service to the State.
It has made many highly
valuable contributions t. agri-
culture and has been an impor-
tant factor in the development
of better farming and bringing
more satisfactory conditions to
the farming community and
the rural home.
The results of it's research
have contributed to raising the
average yield of wheat from
1873 bushels to the acre, to 1911.
OF corn from 1915 to 80; of hay
from 1.15 tons per acre, to 1.43,
and at the same time greatly
improving it's quality.
Soy beans were introduced
into the State by the Expert
ment Station, and now they
are grown on about 10000
acres annually. The use of
crimson clover and cow peas
as soil improvers and forage
also have been greatly ex-
tended.
The Station has been a lead
ing factor in developing the
growing of fruit on CONNER
cial scale in the western and
central parts OF the State, as
well as in promoting better
dairying, through better COWS,
better breeding and housing.
The Station has published
several hundred bulletins CIV
ing the results of it's investiga-
lions. These pertain to every
phase of farming followed in
the State.
Investigations are conduct
ed at 38 different points in
practically every county in the
State, as we'll as at College
Park, and work now is in prog
ress at various places on about
200 different projects.
Agriculture, in common with
other industries, finds research
pays, and is the main hope. A
survey Of a large number of in
dustries shows that they are
expanding on the average of
about 8 per cent of their gross
sales on research. Maryland
has expended only a small frac-
ton of one per cent, yet the
annual returns form the re-
suits obtained amount to many
millions.
DR.. H. j. Patterson, who is
director of the Experiment Sta
ton and dean of the College of
Agriculture, has been at the
University since June Is, 1888,
coming from Penn State. Ten
years later found him as the
directing head of the Expert
ment Station, and he has held
the position ever since, taking
up double duty while lie was
president of the University
from 1913 to 1917. He gave up
the presidency in order to de-
vote his full time to the Ex-
pertinent Station.

Three-year-old Betty Lou, who lives
