BRAVE FIGHT

Only Miracle Could Have Saw
ed Soldier Flown Here From
Texas, Experts Are Agreed

Two false teeth on a piece of
gold bridge work, embedded in
the esophagus Of Private Olaf
Nelson, today proved an obstacle
which all modern science could
not surmount.
Nelson, a six-foot Army private,
who, until Saturday. had en-
Joyed exceptionally good health,
died at 6:45 this morning at
Walter Reed General Hospital af-
ter every resource Of the Army
and of private physicians had
proved of no avail in the fight
to save his life :.
Was warned Before
The teeth which casased Nelson's
de&Efl were swallowed while he
was at breakfast Saturday morn
ing at Fort Bliss, Texas. On two
previous occasions the false teeth
had slipped, but both times Mel
son caught them before swallow
ing. Saturday, however, he was
eating OdIldIld dL DIcdhldSG
when they slipped a third time.
On this occasion it was several
seconds before he realized that
he had swallowed the small
plate.
Then began the spectacular
fight to save his life. Four times
physicians operated in Texas in
an effort to diSlOdge the obstacle.
Each time it became more deeply
embedded in the soft tissues OF
the lower throat. Having ex-
hausted all expedients at the
Texas hospital, Army physicians
pinned their faith in the facilities
available at Walter Reed here.
Speed was required to get the
man here before he expired. A
huge ambulance airplane was
called upon. Lieut.. Frank G.
Irwin took the plane from Kelly
Field to FL PaSo. Nelson, on a

Luther Returns, Confers With
Cabinet ON Report of Bank of
BasIe; New Credit Assured

BERLIN, July IA GN.S0.-
Definite indication that Germany
is preparing to yield to France in
order to obtain the credit she
needs to save herself from bank
ruptcy and ruin was given late
this evening by the Berlin news
paper Germania, official organ OF
DR.. Heinrich Bruening. chancellor
of the Reich.
In an obviously inspired state
ment appearing in late edition,
the newspaper called upon France
to "show consideration" for credit
action on behalf of Germany as
sanctioned by the Bank for Inter-
national Settlements. The paper
declared:
eff France now heads a
credit action, she will be
credited with the salvation of
Germany, and Germany will
never forget this move"
Luther Returns
1t was regarded as highly sig
nificant that the editorial ap-
peared only a short time after DR..
Hans Luther, president of the
Reichsbank, returned to Berlin
from Basle, where he endeavoreo
to enlist the aid of the Interna-
tional Bank to bolster UP Ger.
many's tottering financial struc-
ture. The paper added:
France, sacrifices nothing
and risks nothing by coupling
credit action with demands for
a new basis of FrancO-German
economic cooperation, which
would be a SOunder basis for
future relations than a policy
of alliances and the appliance
of force"
A proposal to give Germany
a dual currency temporarily dur
ing the present financial crisis
was discussed informally today
among leading German bankers
and officials of the Reichsbank.
"Rentenbank Notes"
This proposal would include
establishment of a Lombard
bank, which would reissue the
"Rentenbank" notes, withdrawn
from circulation after 1924 when
the German mark was stabilized,
following the wild currency infla-
tiOn period in Germany.
The bankers suggested that the
temperance of "Rentenbank"
notes, for circulation strictly
within Germany, would tempor-
arily meet the present problems
arising from a shortage of ready
money and would. provide addi-
tional circulation without the
necessity of circulating more
ReichsmarkS, guaranteed by the
Reichsbank's gold reserve fund,
than the present gold holdings
of that bank warrant.
Report Is Awaited
Little hope is held out that
France will relax any of her po-
litical demands upon Germany,

organ has asked Paris point-blank
to cooperate in extension of

STOCKS co HIGHER
IN BROAD ADVANCE
Railroad List Furnishes
Leadership, With Other
Sections Improving.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 9.-Irregu-
larity at the opening of todayS stock
market was followed by a broad up
ward movement under the leadership
of the railway shares, with increasing
activity on the advance.
There was no mistaking the better
feeling in the street. In part it was
due to the conservative optimism in
the address of Paul NJ. Warburg, the
banker, for whose opinion there is
great respect. In part. it was due to
reports of increasing industrial activity
In various parts of the country, and in
part it was due to the incontrovertible
evidence the market itself gave of being
in an unexpectedly strong position.
Decrease in Loans.
The decrease in brokers' loans an-
nounced overnight, carrying the total
down to another new low, was a sur
prise because the period covered had
been one of rising prices on the ex-
change. An increase had been ex-
pected and the result was taken to
mean that the buying had been in
large proportion for permanent holding.
The strength in the rails was easily
the feature of the day. 1t was based
on the expectation that measures to
put into effect the new trunk line con-
solidation plan, in the East would be
accelerated. Traders were anticipating
an important announcement from
Washington to that effect and they
bought railway shares in large blocks
with seeming confidence.
New highs on this recovery were made
by all the leaders, including New York
Central, Baltimore & Ohio and Atchi-
son. Hasty short covering came into
Southern Railway and Illinois Central,
with sharp price advances. Advisory
services had suggested the switch of
investment holdings of these stocks into
other carrier issues with a better sta
tistical position, and these suggestions
had been interpreted by traders as in
vitations to sell short Some of these
commitments were being taken in to-
day
Other rails substantially higher in
cluded New Haven up 3 points, Chicago
& Northwestern, Rock Island, Louisville
& Nashville and Chesapeake g. Ohio.
The other group on which attention
was centered in the early trading was
the motors. Reports from the auto
mobile show were encouraging and
there was active buying Of many of the
shares of the independent companies,
including Nash, Chrysler and Stude-
baker. General Motors above 81 was
at approximately the high of this move
ment and Mack Trucks advanced
sympathetically
With one exception the industrials
were almost uniformly strong. The ex-
ception was in the chemical list, where
both Allied Chemical and Mathesun
Alkali sold at new lows for the bear
movement, still rejecting the price war
situation in the trade. On the other
hand, United States Steel at las was
at the top of the rally, the food stocks,
especially Borden, were in urgent de-

mand, and specialties like Worthingtori
Pump, which is expected to benefit
from the demand for pipe by the
natural gas companies. turned sharply
upward.
Loan Decrease Is Surprise.
Strength in the rails, firmness in the
utilities and irregularity in the indus
trials characterized early trading. The
new decrease in brokers' loans was a
surprise, but had no effect on trading,
but the fact that the railroad averages
had made a new high on recovery on
Thursday brought fresh buying into
that part OF the list today.
Atchison was the leader, up over III
points, with good demand for New York
Central, Baltimore & Ohio and Penn
sylvania. Short covering kept up in
Southern Railway and in Illinois Cen
trail. Chicago g. Northwestern gained
nearly 2 points. Lackawanna, which
had a spectacular rise Thursday re-
acted. as might have been expected.
The feature among the industrials
was the weakness in the chemical
stocks, still sensitive to the price-war
situation. Both Allied Chemical and
MatheSon AlkaH made new lows for the
bear market, the former off over 5
points. U. S. Steel ranged around or
Just above Thursdays close and there

Honey Standards High.

= ERMANY, despite its efficiency and despite
- the high standards of its chemists, is on
the wrong foot on one thing at least the
value Of diastase In honey, in the opinion Of
experts Of the Department Of Agriculture. The
function Of diastase, an engine is the diges-
ton Of the starches in honey. The human
system, however can supply all Of the starch
digestive action necessary without the aid Of
the diastase and as q result the demand for the
engine in honey Is held based on a wrong con-
ception.
Much Of the honey produced In the United
States would be barred from Germany as
adulterated because Of low diastase content and
vet the honey may be Of the highest quality.
California honeys, and orange honeys In par
ticular, fall below the German standard Eng
land, too, has found the same problem In en-
porting honey to Germany. for British honeys,
while Of high quality, lack the necessary dias-
tase content to meet German requirements.

Reduce Forest Fire Loss.

THE intensive campaign Of the Forest Service
to impress upon people Of the Southern Pine
Belt that the huge annual loss through forest
fires was o needless waste has borne fruit until
now the loss from fire each year Is only about
half of what it was prior TO the campaign.
In this section formerly between so and 80
per cent OF the forest area was burned over
each year. and this figure Is now cut in half.
One factor which appeared at FIRST to be UNI
important, but which has since been realized
and In most cases remedied, is the damage done
to the forests of burned-over land by roaming

which spring up to replace the trees destroyed
by the flames. The tender shoots were cleaned

from al sorts of rackets In the days before the
Voletead Law.
1t is not my intention in this article to con-
slider the question Of how temperance ought TO
be achieved what should be done about the
present prohibition laws. The aim here is to
limit the consideration of this matter to the
criminal side of it. In this respect we must al
ways remember that these prohibition laws are
sumptuary laws. They are laws that govern
our manners and customs, about which opinions
vary. The public generally puts them in quite
q different category from the laws against pill
lage robbery, burglary, etc.
Yet the efforts to enforce these sumptuary
laws increase pillage, robbery and burglary, and
breed great criminal professional organizations.
What should be done about it all? There
is no royal road that know Of which is smooth
10 travel on and leads TO a happy solution. 1t
Is not 50 simple as that Not much improve
ment can be hoped for IN the liquor traffic I'M
less the laws are in accord with the opinions
Of q large majority Of the people whose man.
ners and customs they govern. This being so,
either public opinion must support the present
laws or the laws must be amended so as TO
bring them into harmony with public opinion.
Then, with honest city officials, troubles
along these lines would be mostly over. The
Great Racket would be past history.

Raising Huckleberries.

ONE fruit that can be grown with success
in the home gardeners back yard, but
which is almost entirely neglected, Is the
huckleberry.
This fruit one of the most difficult to market,
has failed to attain the place to which it Is
entitled in the menu of the average family.
Huckleberry pie and huckleberry pancakes are
dishes fit to be set before king. yet they are
too little known to the average home.
Because of its tendency to soften beneath the
weight of the upper berries in ordinary
basket the huckleberry must be sold very quickly
after being picked. This limits the distance to
which it may be shipped, and as 1t is not native
to many parts Of the country, large areas are
deprived Of the delicious flavor.
The bushes are natural to an acid soil and
because much of the land in the average yard
is treated to copious applications Of lime, the
soil is not fitted to the growing Of huckleberries.
This can be remedied, however. by working up
the soil around huckleberry bush with apph-
cations of ammonia sulphate and peat moss.
These will provide the acid necessary and con-
serve the moisture, which Is also vital to the
development of full round luscious berries.
Two three bushes, when they attain their
full size. will provide enough berries for
average family and the graceful branches VIM
add beauty to the yard after the bearing has
ceased.
