Powerful German, Russian

PARIS. Dec. 15.-Russia and Ger
many, through their powerful
broadcasting stations, one at No
ginsk and the other opposite Stras-
bourg. are waging a bloodless war
in the air against the weaker prOpa-
ganda stations Of France and Bri-
tain, and incidentally against any
other nation that tries to get on
the air with national propaganda
programs.
4 The Russian Soviet station RWI
Is the most powerful in Europe. and
is five times stronger than the limit
imposed by the Lucerne agreement,
and when functioning it reduces the
French and British stations to
screeches.
Soviet COmmissar of Posts Hirch-
field has answered critics to the
effect that Soviet Russia requires
the strongest station in Europe be-
cause Of the difficulty of reaching
all parts of the republic They de-
clare they soon VIII move the sta
ton farther inland to get the full
coverage.
The French postOffice station has
been in difficulties for some time
witt the heavy battering of the
German stations and the powerful
station of the Russians and has
been rendered almost helpless at
times. The Daventry national long
wave station has been reduced to
Catcalls by the Soviet station, ana
the ministers of posts Of France
and Britain are wondering what can
be done about it.
Soviet Russia is going to give one
program a week, probably on Sun
day. Their English-speaking an
nouncer soon will start with an en-
TREY new program, which, of
course, will be propaganda.
The German stations won their
victory over French stations long
ago, and it was not until the recent
Austrian trouble that it was dis
covered that Germany virtually was
rolling in propaganda destined for
the peasants of Austria. Although
the competition in national radio
stations is acute, Germany and Rus
STA have the strongest 1t is be-
lieved, due to their alleged needs,
their stations have wave lengths
superior to others, although the con-
ference of Luzerne forbade the Civ
ing of nationalistic, or propaganda,
Nprograms in anything but native
language.

THROUGH RUSE
Proprietor Leaves to Find
Keys to Machine;
Gets Gun.

Through use of a ruse, Walter E.
Leavitt, proprietor of a rural store
at Shadeland drive and Pendleton
pike, last night captured two alleged
holdup men.
The men, Roscoe E. Rafferty,, 20,
and Harold D. Linton, 10, said to be
soldiers at TT. Benjamin Harrison,
were turned over to police.
Mr.. Leavitt told police the men
entered the store, drew pistol, and
demanded the slot machine in the
store. He said he told them it was
locked and went into the kitchen,
presumably to get the key, but while
there obtained a revolver and held
the men for police.

Joseph F. Strattman of 1906

safe, he told police, had not been
used or opened for twenty years

the means to cope with all sorts of
new problems as they arise"
DR.. Mehring feels that it is par
ticularly necessary to have scientific
research if a policy of crop limita-
ton is to be followed.
Whether or not a farmer makes
a profit on crop depends upon his
cost of production as we'll as upon
the price paid to him for it," he
says. THE interest on the money
invested in land, machinery and
equipment, the taxes, wages for
labor, feed for the horse, and so
forth, all are more or less fixed for
farm of given acreage.
If the same sized crop were raised
on a smaller farm all Of these items
would be less but the value of the
crop would remain the same. An
important way to lower the cost of
production is to raise the same crop
by cultivating less acres"

-Dietz on Science
WORLD WOULD
PERISH WITHOUT
AID OF SCIENCE
Constant Research Needed
to Keep Pace With
New Problems.
BY DAVID DIETZ
geripps-Howard Science Editor

Nautilus. the English preacher
pointed out that there was a
tendency for the population Of the
world to outrun the supporting
power of the land. War. pestilence,
epidemics and famines balance the
books.
Science has increased the support
ing power of the land. Improved
agricultural methods, rapid trans
portation, refrigeration cars, meth
DDS Of canning and preserving, and
so on, all make it possible to sup
port more people than formerly.
But the world has grown in pop
ulation with ever-increasing rapid
ity. Consequently, the margin be-
tween plenty and disaster still is
a narrow one.
Dr. A L. Mehring Of the bureau
of chemistry and soils Of the United
States department of chemistry, be-
lieves that the nation would face
famine in less than ten years if
research in the control Of insect
pests and plant disease was stopped
New Epidemics Arrive
The farmer, by his intensive cul-
tivatjon of the soil, has prepared
the way for greater ravages Of insects
and plant diseases, just as the hui
man race. by concentrating many
people in big cities, has made cpl
denies potentially more dangerous.
Almost every year a new insect
or plant disease previously almost
unheard Of suddenly becomes cpl
demic and sweeps like wild fire
through large sections" DR.. Meh-
ring says in paper prepared for
the American Chemical Society.
These sudden new attacks make
it necessary that continual research
be carried on, DR.. Mehring says.
He says that research stats must
be kept on hand just as policemen
and f1remen are.
But even though the farmer al
ways may be on the edge of dis
aster, there is equal trouble in store
for him when things go too well.
The Embellishments brought on by
overproduction are well known in
the world today
Urges Shorter Hours
The answer to that problem, in
DR.. Mehrings opinion, is for the
farmer to work shorter hours. He
thinks that the farmer learned to
get up with the dawn and to work
siXteen-hour stretches before the
days Of scientific farming.
It was a good habit in those days.
But now, he thinks, the farmer
ought to change his habits.
Research shows how to improve
quality" he says. 1T finds new
crops and new uses for old crops.
1t finds ways to produce the same
quantity with less labor and ex-
penSe.
1T produces cheaper and more
efficient fertilizers and insecticides.
1t shows how to prevent fertile
fields from gradually changing into
barren ones. 1t makes life more
pleasant in many ways and it finds

In view of the splendid record
of the past nine years, efforts are
being made to obtain leniency for
Joseph Morrow, 81, of 20 Hill street
who was. arrested here yesterday
and returned Immediately to the
New Haven Jail from which he es-
capped in 1884.
Morrow, whose name Is Nassau
elli, was taken into custody while
at work in local factory. Sergeant
Henry johnson and Detective John
Calvin made the arrest. 1t was re-
ported that they had been tipped
off by someone unfriendly to the
young man, but Sergeant, johnson
had no difficulty in recognizing him
as he assisted in his capture In
1924.
Since escaping fran Jail, after
serving but two months of a years
term for burglary. Morrow has re-
sided in Pennsylvania and New
York state. He IL now married and
Is the father of two children. His
factory officials declare that he has
been very faithful worker fol
the past six years and that his
conduct has been above reproach.
In view of this fact steps have been
taken to have the authorities be
lenient with him and to consider
an application for parole.
Unless someone int Nrcedes for
him Morrow has a year to serve on
the old charge and faces additional
time for escaping from Jail.
