Woman's Long Fast

Electrical Treatment Of
Soil Of Little Value

There is a great difference of opin-
ION among agricultural scientists as
to the value of electricity in the culti-
walton of various food crops. Many
English authorities claim that grain
and some garden produce is quite ma
terially speeded up SO far as growth
is concerned and the quality improved.
by current of electricity passing
between the ground and a network of
wires suspended above the growing
crops. A Finland farmer reports an
increase Of so per cent in the amount
Of produce and grain grown in this
manner. The United States Agricul-
tural department has been experiment.
ing with the subject for years and the
final conclusion is that no benefit or
at least very little has resulted from
the electrical treatment Of the soil.
In fact 1t was noticed that a slightly
prolonged exposure resulted in kill
ing the seed placed in the ground.
This conclusion is agreed in by some
other authorities so that the prepond-
erance Of opinion is that the electrical
treatment Of soil Is without result

Danger That Led Japan
to "Scrap" Whole Navy

1t Is not generally known that the
Japanese actually undertook Of their
own free will complete scrapping Of
their navy 300 years ago.
At the time of the Spanish armada
Japan was a great naval power, and
for some years she went on increasing
the number Of her ships. Great con-
quests were made, and had the ex-
pansiOn continued for a few years
more Japan would have discovered
Australia and have been the first
nation to colonize it.
But great change came over at
fairs in the East Spain and Portugal
were sending their ships to that part
Of the world and were acquiring more
and more territory. The Japanese
saw that If they were defeated at sea
the whole Of their country might be
taken from them.
They therefore disarmed all their
ships, and in 1886 passed the act of
seclusion, which was in force for more
than 200 years. This made Japan an
absolutely closed country in which no
foreigner could set foot. Japan ceased
to make conQuests, but she kept her
own land intact.

Saturday Not Always
Sabbath for the Jews

The period from sunset Friday to
sunset Saturday was adopted by the
Jews as their Sabbath about $50 A. d.
1t is erroneous to suppose, as many
do, that the ancient Jewish Sabbath
always fell on what corresponds to
our Saturday and that the weekly
cycle has never been broken. In an
Gent times the first day Of the Jewish
year was also the first Sabbath of the
year and the day was determined by
the high priests or the sanhedrin by
observing the new moon. A Sabbath
followed every seventh day thereafter
until the end Of the year. Conse-
quently the Sabbath was not regu-
larly recurring seventh day In the
sense that our Saturday or Sunday Is,
and the Sabbath did not fall on the
day corresponding to our Saturday
more often than it fell on other days
of the week. At that time, of course,
all the days began and ended at sun
set. The Jews, after being scattered
over the world, found the ancient He
brew calendar difficult to follow. and
about $50 A. D., under the leadership
of Hillel II, they began to adopt Sat-
urday as their regular Sabbath

When Mind Works Best

Have you ever tried to terminate at
what time of day your mind works
best? A scientific test with office
workers indicates it is the second
hour of the morning. Many nervous
persons find to their dismay that their
brain is most active when they are
trying to go to sleep. Probably only
a few have the experience of Sir Wal
ter Scott, the novelist, whose observa.
tons on the subject are republished
In the Golden Book.
"The half hour between waking and
rising has all my life proved propiti-
Gus to any task which was exercising
my invention" Scott wrote. "When I
get over any knotty difficulty In a
story, or have had to fill up a passage
in poem. it was always when first
opened my eyes that the desired ideas
thronged to me-"

Fire Cost U. s. $1,000 A Min
ute Through 1929

Joseph G. Walker, engineer for the
Travellers Insurance Company, in a
radio talk as part OF the program for
Fire Prevention Week, said that fires
in this country in 1929 had cost over
81 900 minute throughout the year.
Fires do not just happen, Mr..
Walker explained, "they are the con-
sequences of previously existing
causes. These causes are largely
created by carelessness and if the OBJ
servance of this week, Fire Proven
ton Week, a beginging point for con-
tinued effort for safety from fire for
the entire year, does nothing more
than to cause you to take counsel
with yourself regarding the POSSIBLE
tiles of having fire on your premises
and take measures to assure yourself
against fire, our efforts will not have
been useless. The safety of your
family, home, business or job de-
ponds upon your continued respectful
attitude toward fire prevention.
Careless disposal of cigars, cigar
cites or matcheS-defective chimnieS
and heaters, accumulation of COM
bustible rubbish, improper electrical
wiring and many other circumstances
that cause fires are easily detected
and corrected. An individual who
ignores hazardous conditions or prac
tees does not respect the safety or
does not realize he is irresponsible.
He does not realize he is indirectly
paying yearly proportionate share
of our country's fire loss by his care
lessness or indifference.
millions of dollars of fire losses
each year is just that much more
added to the cost of living. The pub
lie pays this cost.

One of the most intense legislative
fights to come before the next ses-

bly, will be staged by the Isaak

izations against purse net fishing in
the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries.
This is the opinion of veteran water
men at bayside fishing 'centers who
aver amateur fishermen seem deter
mined to outlaw purse net fishing.
1t is commended by members of the
League that purse nets are not only
not making money for their owners,
but are interfering materially with
anglers generally in the bay and its
rivers on the Eastern Shore and are
cleaning out whole schools of fish
in one day which would provide sew

Sixth International Road
CONGRESS-

The Sixth international Road
Congress held in Washington last
week, marked the greatest impetus
ever given highway construction.
A total of 282 delegates, from 60
countries, participated in the six-day
Congress, the purpose of which was
to foster good roads throughout the
world. Discussion by the conferees,
evolved principally around the ques-
tions of highway construction, and
financing.
Highway construction in the
United States, the delegates were
told, is progressing at the rate OF
approximately $1,000 miles per year,
including Federal and State pro-
grams. The total cost last year, ex-
pended by the As states, amouted to
81, 1874, 775,OOO. This was in addi-
ton to the Federal-aid expenditures.
The road mileage in the world
today, according to data submitted,
is 1890, 900 miles, of which approx
mately half is in North, South and
Central America. The bulk of the
worlds mileage is divided primarily
among five counties, viz: United
States, 3,0l6,0O0 miles; France, a.
600 miles; Russia, 420,OO miles:
Canada, 425, 900 miles, and Australia,

"fiail Columbia" Written

Just to oblige an insistent friend,
q Philadelphia judge back In 1898
spent part of one weekend compos-
ing patriotic song which he thought
would sink back into obscurity with
In a week or two.
And the result was one of Amor
ica's greatest national airs-"Hail Co
lumbia."
The composer was Joseph Hopkin-
son, who was widely known for his
artistic, musical and literary tastes.
It was in the middle of the summer
of 1898 that a young actor, Gilbert
Fox, for whom the benefit was to he
given, went to Hopkinson's home at
1913 Spruce street. He explained that
there was little prospect Of attract
ing q crowd and asked his friend to
help him out.
= That was Saturday. The perform
ance was to be on Monday. And
early that morning "Hail Columbia"
had been completed.
Fox sang the song, accompanied
by full band and "grand chorus"
Crowds sang 1t on the streets as they
left the theater. And a short time
later Hopkinson wrote to George
Washington:
"The theaters here and In New
York have resounded with 1t night
after night and men and boys sing it

Culls Which Keep to Shore

The black-head gulls of Europe, I'M
like the ordinary seagulls common
along the coast Of this country. are
not sea going birds. They will not fol-
low ships day after day, but keep
themselves well within reach of land.
In fact, they are not adverse to flying
inland and feeding in new-plOwed
land, on insects, worms and larvae.
The gulls breed from the British
Isles east through Europe, as far as
Turkcstan. In winter they range all
the way from the Azores to Japan,
living largely along the shores, on
crustaceans, small fish and any food
which finds its way into the waters
along the shores.

Moonlight On The River

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland
Moonlight on the river,
AS we float on down the
Straem;
Pleasant memories coming
back to us,
Like joyful, happy CLEAN.
The river flowing gently,
In beauty rich and grand;
And our God who holds the
waters
In the hollow of His hand.
The river flowing, flowing,
Until time shall be no more
And the waves are ever roll
ing in
To kiss the silent shore.
May we live to help each other,
AS the days are going by;
And the river bears us onward,
To our happy home on high.
