Home Rule Gains
 Ground In Scotland
Leaders Believe Time Right for Setting Up Parliament
 in Edinburgh

Looking over a copy of the Gallo way News of Scotland. issue of Feb ruary 2l, one sees that the people of that country are not emigrating as fast as some would wish. On the contrary they have already com menced planting potatoes and put ting in the seed corn and look for ward for good crops this year. More than that, they are having meetings at which speakers talk boldly of the need of q Scotch parliament in Ed inburgh to deal with purely Scotch matters. the opinions being ex- pressed that there Is too much bus iness before the parliament at Vest minister. England, to allow time for discussions that pertain to the in- terests of Scotland.
 Speaking at largely attended meet ings at Dairy and Crossmichael, l.. M. Campbell went into this matter in detail. Towards the close of MT CampbelPs speech. Rev J. w. T. Dickie asked if the speaker. in view of the increasing subscription of Scottish interests to things pertain ing to England if he had any plans for giving self-government to Scot land.
 MT Campbell said he was delight ed to answer that question, and then WeuL OH So eAUlhiu buht bHG AiU~ial party was the first to propose home rule for Ireland, and they consented to postpone action on q parliament for Scotland until the Irish question was out of the way. Now, he be- lieved, the way was clear and that 1t was an opportune time to make Q demand for parliament in Scot land, and that q movement towards that end would have his hearty support.
 Judging by the applause which greeted MT Campbelps remarks. Scotland has reached the point where 1t Is of the opinion 1t ought to have something to say about the management of It's own affairs. In fact. this feeling has existed for q long time. but 1t never assumed its present attitude until the people found out that instead of making laws under which the people could live at home. plans were under way to have them emigratc to other parts of the world. They do not want this. They believe that if the vast tracts of land in the hands of n few should be cut up into small farms, the Scottish people can be

 This dioecious maize. unique as 1t Ia, is not biologicai sport. for is possesses the quality of repro ducing itself for generation after generation. thus showing it's obedi- ence to the laws of genetics that govern all other species.
 Other plants are dioecious, among them bittersweet. asparagus. tho cot tonwood tree, mistletoc, holly, the date palm, and others. Ages ago In tho natural course of evolution their sex functions grew into the form known today. The difference In tho story of the new maize is that 1t was produced under laboratory con- ditions and the changes that came In 1t were minutely observed. where- as the changes in the other plants came about unseen.
 The disoeciouB corn wGs derived from two one-sexed freaks that grew among tho normal corn on tho ex- pertinent form in Mount Carmel. One was a male plant that produced pol len and no seed. Tho other was a ''super-female" similar in appear ance to the milo maize. It bore seed both on the ear and in tho tassel and carried no pollen. Tn study of inheritance Dr Jones crossed these two plants and in succeeding gen erations he found the dioeeious corn that breeds true.

CONCERNS ]
 THE WHOLE STATE.
Much Interest Centered in Senator Lawl0r's Bill in
 General Assembly
UP TO GOVERNOR CROSS

Because the application before the general assembly asking that provision be made on the highways of the state 50 that pedestrians may use them with more safety than Is possible under existing conditions. was introduced by Senator Lawlor of Waterbury, Is no reason why 1t should be regarded as having special reference to this city. It concerns the whole state and if people do not view 1t in this light and make an effort to have 1t passed they will not be doing their duty to themselves.
 The need of such action has been talked of for q long time. but for some reason which nobody ever at- tempts to explain 1t was always pushed into the back ground. When you spoke to e highway commissioner about the matter you were told that he had no authority to spend money accommodation of vehicular travel; members of the general assembly when approached dismissed 1t by stating that all this was in the hands of the highway commission. and there you are. Meanwhile, lives arc being sacrificed in all parts of the state and nobody appears 10 be responsible. Surely, the blame rests either on the general assembly or on the highway commission. The matter is now in the hands of Gov Cross and the public will await the report of his commission with con- siderable interest.
 The measure ls an equitable one in all respects. It will protect not only pedestrians from losing their lives but would also prove q very important factor in loss of life of pedestrians on highways In litiga- ton. For if the pathways were es- abolished and pedestrian was hit on q portion of the highway other than on the walk designated for use by persons on foot, automobilists and insurance companies would be saved much money which they arc now expending to prove contributory negligence on the part of these pe- destrains. The idea ns n whole IS considered one hundred per cent equitable and. at the same time. q measure in the interest of human life from every standpoint.

 MISSION CLOSED
The Services Were Very Largely Attended During
 the Nine Days
THE FATHERS PLEASED

The nine days novena at st Fran. cig Xavier closed last night with very gratifying results. The attendance from the opening to the close filled the upper and lower churches and the number who visited the place during the day time was larger than ever before on such an occasion. No wonder the missionary fathers ex- pressed themselves as well pleased and left feeling that their work was appreciated. It must have been q source of much satisfaction to the pastor, Rev James J. Egan, and his two assistants. Rev James T. Butler and Rev John Dillon. who assisted materially in making the mission q success.
 Tho forty hours devotion. which opened Sunday closed this morning. fl large congregation taking part in the impressive ceremony. All told, the parish has had ten days of much religion activity. The lesson the fathers wished 10 impress upon the people was that they hoped they would continue to be true to the promises they had made during the nOvena and so live that when they will be called out of this world they will merit the reward God has prom ised to all who keep his Commando fDents. If not their labor would have been of no avail
