VEGETABLE GARDEN

Parsnips reach their best quality at
this season and from now on lose their
sweetness and attractive flavor. The
parsnip Is a biennial or two-year plant,
making it's greatest root growth one
year and Towering the next. For the
home gardener the parsnip IS one
wear crop-that is to say, the home gar
dener is interested only in the first year
of the plants growth cycle. In this
year the root stores its reserves to carry
it through the second year. And it is
these reserves with their high content
of sugar that represent the food value
of the parsnip Some years ago DR.. V.
r. Boswell, at that time on the staff OF
the Maryland Experiment Station, made
a careful study of the role Of tempera-
ture in developing the quality of par
ships. For long time gardeners had
realized that the roots did not become
attractive and sweet until the very late
Autumn or Winter MANY gardeners
even believed that it was essential that
the roots be actually frozen. DR.. Bos-
we'll found that freezing was not neces-
sary to develop quality, but that tenn
peratures between 80 and 40 F. were

Selection of jury to hear
charges that four policemen
brutally beat James Henry
Harker, a robbery suspect, was
completed today in District

James NJ. Proctor.
The process required two hours
questioning by United States At

counsel for the accused men. A
second panel Of 26 prospective
jnrors was called in before the
complete jury was selected.

The four defendants. James A.

were in court to hear Mr.. Rover
accuse them, in his preliminary
statement, of viSciouSly beating
the 23-year-old bakers helper on
the morning of August %.
Mr.. Rover said the prosecution
would show that Harker had been
picked up by police near his
home, a room above Sandy'S s
Bakery, where he was employed
at North Capitol and G Streets
and taken to the First Precinct
station.
Harker was booked for in
vestigation and then asked if he
took part in the robbery OF a
lunchroom a few days before
Upon his repeated denials he
was beaten by the four men, Mr..
Rover said. He added:
1--WE will show he was beaten
with q rubber hose held by
Mostyn with all the force he
had. He was hit viciOuSly and
violently in the eye"
Jurors Cautioned
Following the meeting which
Mr.. Rover described in detail,
he confessed to the robbery, the
prosecutor added. Later a grand
jury refused to indict Harker on
the charge.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Rover'S
presentation, Justice Proctor
warned jurors to be particularly
careful not to discuss the case.

Of PU u OFF

MUKDEN, Nov. 16 QN.s0
The attempt of certain japanese
groups to place Henry Pu vi, the
former hoy emperor" of China,
upon the throne of an independ-
ent Manchuria has been frus-
trated, at least for the time be-
ing, by unexpected publicity, it
was learned here today.
1t is revealed upon reliable
authority that Ronin organiza-
tions of so-called free-lance pa
triots who frequently have embar-
rassed japanese officials were re-
sponsible for smuggling Pu vi
out of Tientsin, where he had
been a refugee in the Japanese
concession, and bringing him to
Mukden.
They hired a thousand coolies
to attend the inauguration"
ceremonies, which were to have
been held today as the League
of Nations Council assembled to
debate the Manchurian conflict
anew.
Disclosure of their secret plans
threw the spotlight of world at
tention upon their conspiracy and
considerably dampened their en-
thuSiaSm.

PRICE GAINS

CHICAGO, Nov. 16 TN.SO.
The wheat market was back in
form today, and after week of
lower prices, values again took
the upside.
Gains of &c a bushel were estab-
lished early with rather general
buying and limited offerings. Un-
expected strength in Liverpool,
where values we're up to 19s to
1Ac, was a factor here.
The upturn abroad was attri-
buted to a better cash demand
and wet weather in the Argen-
tine.
Corn showed advances of IA
to 15sc a bushel shortly before
noon in sympathy with wheat and
unfavorable weather over parts
of the belt.
Oats moved "a to %c and rye
