ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

O. Is the use of gases In warfare o
recent development?-F. P. I
A. Many efforts have been made IN
the past to use various gaSes-ch1ehy
sulphur dioxide--in warfare. AS early
as 431 BIC. the Spartans, in besieging
the cities of Belium and Platea, burned
pitch and sulphur under the walls OF
these cities IN order to break down
their defense by suffocation Of the
troops of the cities.
@. When were the first short stories
written?-U. H. G.
A, In early literature the parallels Of
the New Testament most closely resem-
bic the short story, according to some
authorities.
@. Where did the iris grow original
A. From the study of geographical
distribution of the iris, 1t appears that
the two centers of original location are
Central and Southern Europe, and the
orient. especially China. For the most
part, however. the exotic species are
thoroughly at home on the American
continent and in certain sections have
established themselves as freely as any
native plant.
@ who composed Ca 1ra"7-D.
A. This was q popular song Of the
French Revolution. The words are Of
uncertain origin, one version probably
being the composition Of Ladre, street
singer The air was popular carlton
Antoinette's. French writer's say that
Benjamin Franklin in speaking OF the
American Revolution often used the ex-
preston Ca ira" which means 1T will
succeed" The phrase was cought up by
the French.
q. When is the union jack flown by
q United States ship?-H. T. B.
A. A merchant vessel flies the union
jack when at anchor, when entering
port, on Sundays and holidays.
@. Was Keats buried at nightP-E. N.
A. The regulation requiring night
burial for non-Catholics was suspended
in the case Of Keats. He was buried
at 9 o'clock on Sunday morning-or
IS o'clock by the former Roman method
of reckoning time.
O. What kind of trees are tllumi-
mated in Altadena, Calf, in its street
of the Christmas trees?-L. B.
A. It is a nile-long avenue Of deo-
OARS These are Himalayan cedars.
The seeds were brought to this coun-
try, sown in beds under glass and trans
planted on what is now Santa Rosa
avenue in 1885, when the trees were
about 2 feet tall. They are now about
80 feet high, with their branches
| spreading from 80 to 40 feet near the
ground. The trees are illuminated from
Christmas eve to New Year night.
@. Please name some of the countries
of today which were under the rule Of
Rome at its height.-V. G. B.
A. Among the nations of the present
day which were encompassed within the
boundaries Of the Roman Empire are
Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, France,
| Germany, italy, Austria, Albania,
Switzerland, Egypt and the Balkan
| States.
@. How much do honey bees weight
| D. H.
A. Honey bees weigh about 5000 in
dividuals to the pound. So the average
weight of honey bee would be little
less than one three-hundredthS Of an
ounce.

him to do so. The difference between
Judge Parker's expressed willingness to
appear and q request to the committee
that he be permitted to appear is the
difference between tweedledum and
tweedledee. Probably it never occurred
to Judge Parker that q committee which
had before 1t the testimony of adverse
witnesses would not care to hear him
after he had declared his willingness
to come to Washington and testify.
Judge Parker has been attacked be-
fore the committee, and apparently sue
cessfully, because he handed down
decision in which he followed the rul-
ing of the Supreme Court itself. Be-
cause this case involved the yellow
dog" contract, hated by the United
Mine Workers of America and organized
labor generally, 1t has been argued that
Judge Parker is In sympathy with that
form Of contract which pledges a mine
worker not to join a union. But the
committee has no real knowledge of
Judge Parker's position on this mat
ter. The Supreme Court had upheld
the validity of such contract in an
other case. With that determination
Of the law before him, Judge Parker, a
member of the Federal judicial circuit,
decided a case in accordance with the
law. The Senate committee may have
dif1iculty explaining why it was not
willing, or even why it did not desire,
to hear what Judge Parker had to say
in regard to this case and his own
view of the principle involved in the
yellow dog" contract.
The nomination of Judge Parker has
been laid before the Senate with the
disapproval of the Senate committee.
Under such circumstances, it would be
surprising if the Senate reversed the
decision Of its committee. However, the
issue is now squarely up to the Senate
itself. His friends, 1t is said, propose to
carry on the fight to have him con-
firmed. President Hoover has shown no
signs of withdrawing the nomination,
nor has Judge Parker indicated that he
would be pleased to have his name re-
called.
It Is difficult at times to determine
accurately whether Senators are hitting
at an appointee of the President or at
the President, through his appointee.
Members Of the Senate committee have
been leading "coalitionists." They have
sought, Republican ProgreSsives and
Democrats, to embarrass the admin
istration in the past. Here, apparently,
was . case which has afforded them
another opportunity to strike at the adj
minktration. 1t is true that several OF
the so-called regular Republican mem
bers of the committee voted adversely
to Judge Parker in the committee. But
they have been credited with seeking to
shelve issues that might be unpopular
with some Of the voters. They have
been left in a position to do this more
readily, perhaps, than If they had
taken the testimony Of Judge Parker
himself.

The Parker Nomination.

The Senate judiciary committee has
reported adversely the nomination of
Judge John j. Parker to be an associate
justice of the Supreme Court. This
was not unexpected, although the size
of the vote, 10 to 6, was surprise. A
greater surprise, however, was the
declination Of the Senate committee to
hear Judge Parker in reply to his at
tackers after he had expressed will
ingness to appear before the committee.
Those members Of the committee who
voted against Senator Overman's mo-
ton to invite Judge Parker to appear
and testify justify their course by point
ing out that Judge Parker did not re-
quest the committee to hear him, but
merely expressed q willingness to come
before it should the committee desire

Spring in China.

Events In China march successfully
10 crisis and settlement. The insta-
bility Of government in that land Is
repeatedly demonstrated by outbreaks
Of civil war, marked by more or less
geSturelike engagements between Ma.
tionalist and provincial armies, fol-
lowed by settlements, with considerable
transactions in currency for the allay-
ing Of rebellious spirits. Thus far since
the establishment of the present Ma
tionalist government, first headquar-
tered at Canton and later at Marking,
these settlements have been favorable
30 that organization, but without any
definite victory over the recalcitrants
IN the field, and with a constant re-
naainder Of revolutionary reaction in .
majority of the provinces.
Another military demonstration
against the Marking government is now
on the cards. It has been forecast for
several months. In fact, the suspen-
sion of the last preceding campaign
was chiefly due to the season. 1t was
marked, to be sure, by a material con-
sideration-some reports placed the sum
ut twenty million gold-but the chief
factor in the abatement of the activi-
ties in the field was the weather. The
return of Spring, it has been frequently
stated In the dispatches from China,
would be the signal for renewed as
semblages Of provincial armies and
such field operations as the peculiar
war code Of the Chinese involves.
Now there are signs of this Spring
warfare. Operations are already re-
ported in Honan province, which lies
immediately below Chill, In which Pc
king is located, and also south OF
6hansi, the governor of which is the
"model" Yen Hsi-shan. Fighting be-

occurred, It Is stated. The chances are
that the hoStilities consist only In skir-
mishes over control of certain rail lines.
But meanwhile the troops compris-
ing the army Of Feng Yu-hsiang, the
Christian general" are said to be
masSed in large numbers at Chengchow,
which is in the southwest corner Of
ShAnsi. Feng, 1t is well known, is only
waiting for a favorable opportunity to
strike at Chang Kai-shek, the head of
the Nationalist government. The
rivalry between these two is one of the
chief causes of China's disturbance.
Gov. Yen of Shansi has complicated
matters by instituting a tobacco
monopoly in that province, quite con-
trary to treaty stipulations and in dis
regard of arrangements made with the
foreign tobacco companies by the Nam
king government, respecting taxation.
The legations are interested, but the
situation is rendered somewhat difficult
by the fact that Yen does not recognize
fully the international obligations of
China as determined by the government
of Marking. Yen'S game has thus far
appeared to be to play with both sides,
but never with the Marking government
to the extent Of acknowledging its au-
thority over Shansi.
A few weeks will determine whether
the year 1880 will be one of conflict
in China. The present indications
point that way. There is said to be
virtual anarchy in Kiangsi province,
which lies between Canton and Shang-
hal, only q short distance south Of
Marking, the Nationalist capital. And
in Shanghai itself there is revival Of
the trouble on the score of taxes be-
tween the municipal council, which Is
q foreign body governing the
settlement, and the ma
tive business element, which demands
a larger share Of representation on the
council. This latter situation, however,
is perennial and Is not likely to add to the
seriousness of the conditions in China,
already difficult enough with implacable
rivalries and with widespread suffer-
ing on the part of millions from lack
of suf1cient food.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON

The Cheering Chorus.
Some sad predictions here and there
With fortitude are met;
We smile again as we declare.
1T hasn't happened yet"
They say that the electric spark
For big explosions set
Will leave this whole world in the dark
1t hasn't happened yet.
The oil supply will all be drained
And leave us in regret.
Still we remark, though somewhat
panied,
ct hasn't happened yet"
So merrily we roam along.
The bad news we forget.
This is the chorus of the song
1T hasn't happened yet"

Business and National Unity
To Cain by Federal Road Fund

should be a fair distribution, with each
county paying half of the cost of the
portion of the roads lying within its
boundaries. It has been shown that,
with the present amount of trafhc, the
highways would soon pay for them
selves in gasoline tax revenue, ana the
total revenue would increase substan-
TALLY with hard-surface roads. More
over, the State proposes to reimburse
the counties for their expenditures as
the funds become available"
LAS the largest State and the first in
post-road mileage, Texas all along has
received the most generous portion of
Federal aid for highway building" says
the San Antonio Express, with further
statements as to extensive projects IN
der the State government, as a result
of which 1t records that actually, the
State Highway Commissions outlay viii
be more than three times" the is mil
lions which would be spent If the Fed
eral funds were simply matched by the
State. The Express concludes: THE
highway activity all over South Texas
is unprecedented in extent and GER
tain to increase under the stimulus of
additional Federal aid. These and re-
lated developments surely should take
care of any unemployment problem"
THE current census" according to
the Tulsa World, will put us In much
better shape for the next distributions,
provided the system is continued. Our
State Highway Commission Is making
q great effort to spread construction
and at the same time consolidate the
State system. It may be that Congress
will abandon this form Of aid and 60
into national bodybuilding in its own
name. But for the present we can do
much, with the $1,000, 900 held in get
ting out Of the mud and dust"
Denial that Federal aid is q gift
comes from the Muncie Star, with the
statement as to the relation between
taxation and highway aid: Indiana
has approximately 8 per cent If the
population of the United States It
pays, directly and indirectly, its full
quota of Federal taxes. No Hoosier
should be so stupid as to imagine his
State did not contribute its full share
to that $125, 600, 900 the Government Is
about to distribute. Indiana undoubt-
edly put In at least $3,750,000 and Is
now asked to congratulate itself on the
fact that 1t is about to receive q Fed
eral aid gift Of $1,278,0SS. The state
plainly is already S2,471,o12 out and
must spend another $l,27S,088 to get
the Federal appropriation. Some States,
OF course, will get more than they pay
In, but there Is no occasion for any one
in Indiana to be under the delusion
that Federal road aid is any Christmas
present to the taxpayers and citizens
OF this State
