DEMOCRATS REGISTER
GAINS IN KENTUCKY
BY HARRY BLOOM.

Special Dispatch to The Star
LOUISVILLE. KY, September IL
A political straw in the wind, regarded
as significant to Kentucky as Maine Is
to the Nation, was the Louisville sup
Elementary registration just concluded.
In city in which the general regis
tration Of voters stands in the ratio of
8 to Republican, the special regis
tration totals were $3.50 Republicans
8,079 Democrats and 1854 Inde-
pendents.
During the final week of the regis
tration the Democrats outnumbered the
Republicans. It was the first time
since 1917 that the Democrats have
anywhere near held their own in the
registration. It was significant not
only on this account, but also because
the Republicans control the city, and
their machinery for enrolling voters is
much more efiicient than the Demo-
cratic. Except for the mountains. OF

Seaton says: Terrestrial magnetism

value to navigation, its value to land
surveying and its value to pure science.
Why the variation Of the needle should
be of such great interest is not under

mariners stake their lives upon knowl-

Particularly concerned in radio
transmission problems related to the
subject, Seaton believes that important
developments in radio depend in part
upon more accurate knowledge OF ter
reStrial magnetism.
For the past Is months he has been
at the Carnegie observatory at HuancaYo,
situated thousands Of feet above the
sea in the Andes mountains of Peru.
His stay there was for the purpose of
installing new instrumental equipment.
This equipment he designed and assist
ed in constructing in Washington. While
at Huancayo he built new quarters for
the radio, seismographic and sunspot
enterprises of the observatory. He re-
turned home on September 5.
Wants to Learn More.
Seaton wishes to have a personal
share in the projected advances in his
chosen field of research, but he says
that he does not know enough. He ex-
plains that he missed the advantages
OF high school education. He went to
work at Is. For four years he attended
the Technical Night School, and foI
two years he had special tutoring in
mathematics. He says he must have a
more formal nrpnaratiOn for the unrLy
he wants to do. So he has enrolled in
the University of Maryland, to specialize
in mathematics and physics. He says:
"A university foundation is imperative
to my plans. I cannot make furthe-
progress without 1t. Other men might
be satisfied. but I cannot be. I do not
feel that I am making sacrifices by
starting over Research in pure science
has an adequate reward in the joy of
the work itself. The quest for truth
is the best adventure in the world"

MITCHELL TALKS

NEW YORK, September l7.-Attor-
ney General William D. Mitchell said
tonight that any change in the Consti-
tuition would be legally an amendment,
whether it be to strike out the eight
zenith amendment or to change its
terms or to substitute some other pro-
vision for it."
Mitchell spoke over a radio network
in Constitution day broadcast. In
review Of constitutional amendments,
OF which he said only 25 have been
submitted altogether, Mitchell re-
marked:
They come SO rarely that between
the time one is adopted and the next
proposed we forget how it is done"
Mitchell, asserting there has been
some public confusion about the pro-
cedure of amending the Constitution.
attributed it to the use Of such express
sions as "reSubmission, repeal" and
modification.
The Congress may submit to the
States" he said, "a proposal to amend
the Constitution by merely striking out
the eighteenth amendment, leaving the
subject where it stood before that
amendment was adopted, or it may
submit single proposal to amend the
Constitution which would have the
double effect Of striking out the eight
eenth amendment and at the same
time substituting for the eighteenth
amendment some provision such as has
been suggested for returning principal
control of the liquor problem to the
States. with q reservation to Congress
of authority to require the liquor traffic
in any State to be SO conducted and
controlled as measurably to protect dry
States and those which desire restricted
systems from the illegal introduction
of liquor"

been submitted. he said, have failed,

the ''lame-duck" amendment, is pend

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
IN ROW IN MARYLAND
BY r. J. JACKSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, Md. September IT.
Development of political rift between
Gov. Ritchie and Mayor Howard w.
Jackson of Baltimore during the past
week somewhat beclouded the opening
Of the campaign for the Roosevelt
Garner ticket in Maryland.
It came at time when the Republic
ans had just effected working agree
ment between factions for the duration
Of the campaign.
The coldness between the Governor
and mayor, the latter regarded as
ambitious for the governorship, arose
when Jackson chided the Governor for
writing to W. w. Atterbury. president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in the
interest of having part of the proceeds
of a Government loan to the railroad
spent in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, betting is about even on
the outcome Of the national election in
Maryland. The chances seem slightly
to favor the Democratic ticket. but
Maryland will be strictly debatable
ground in November. :,

Corn Out-Yields All
Other Cereal Crops,
AgrOnomist Declares

Dickinson, N. D., Feb. 1l.-Corn
-out-yields all other cereal plants in
the production Of feed, Ralph Smith,
associate agronomist, reports to DR..
IP. T. Trowbridge, director Of the
North Dakota Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Fargo, after making
study Of this phase of agriculture
at the Dickinson substation.
His claim that corn is king IN the
state is based on the total amount Of
digestible nutrients produced upon
an acre, rather than the gross BUSH
els or pounds Of each plant.
The average pounds of digestible
nutrients produced per acre in the
various crops are as follows: Corn:
Grain laos pounds, straw 1856 pounds,
total 2,19l pounds; barley: grain 1893
pounds, straw 756 pounds, total 1,789
pounds; oats: grain LOTT pounds,
pounds; oats: grain 1,0l7 pounds,
wheat: grain 866 pounds, straw 656
pounds, straw 656 pounds, total 1,522
pounds; rye: grain 663 pounds, straw
645 pounds. total 1903 pounds.
During the dry years, especially
the corn has surpassed the other
crops, says Smith.
In the dry years corn (grain) ex-
ceeded its nearest competitor, barley
in digestible nutrients per acre by "a
per cent. In the 10 years since 1922
the corn (grain) has exceeded barley
per acre in digestible nutrients by st
per cent and oats by 80 per cent.
