.BOTANET REPORTS.
 CHECTNUTS BETTER
Deadly Blight Made Less Progress on Seedlings
 This Year

While elm trees hold center stage in tn eye of the Connecticut citizen at present, butanists are not neglecting the American chestnut, This season the deadly blight seems seeding, Dr c. r. Clinton, botanist of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station at New Haven, reports to Director Slate.
 Dr Clinton is experim enting to find out whether the chestnut blight decreases in virulence as the years go by. Certainly the disease is less prevalent than it has been. This is probably because nearly all the old chestnuts, where the fungus propagated, are now dead, pr Clln- ton points out.
 The oldest living tree, more than 50 years of age, is still growing at Lebanon. Its condition is about the same as 1t was in 1883 and 1t should survive another year. Ru- mors that other old chessnuts have been found In different parts of the state have proved false alarms upon investigation. Usually the owner was niistaking some other tree for the American chestnut.
 For his experiments Dr Clinton has kept fungus of the blight alive
 saprophytically (growing in test tubes) for 20 years. He tests the virulence of this old material in comparison with two-year-old fun gus. or inocuiating young trees and watching results. In first tests, made two years ago, the old cul- lures appeared to be less virulent. Further inoculations will be made next spring,
 Meanwhile many young trees in the state are bearing nuts. Dr Clih- ton and w. o. Filley, forester, have planted chestnuts for the past eight years and seeding have been set out in Fairfield, Rainbow, Orange, and Portland. More of these saplings have been killed by the drought of the past few sum mers than by the blight, Dr. Clin- ton reports. Nevertheless, tho blight seems to attack trees when they reach a certain size.
 Check on the growth of seed lings this year reveals that they have developed better than usual. Dr. Clinton attributes this to inn proved moisture conditions and to the complete fertilizer applied at Rainbow and Orange. The largest saplings are about 26 feet tail with four-inch stems. About 1000 two-year seedlings will be ready for transplanting in 1885.

 If the plane still is bobbing on the surface-it will float for AS
 hours aviation experts estimated- it was pictured as riding vertically in the waves, it's nose beneath the surface, its tail in the air. Ulm and his companions would be forced to climb out on the slip pery wings and cling there. until rescued.
 The plane will remain floating until the wings fill with water. Then it will sink. The flyers have no life raft.
 Similar Search in 1925 Many navy men in the search today participated in a similar hunt in 1925 when Lieut. Conl- mander John Rogers was forced
 down on a flight from California. Rogers managed to remain afioat I216 hours. A submarine found him.
 Searchers were hopeful one of the nine submarines dispatched from Lahiana on the. island of Maui, 300 miles southeast of Hon. olulu, would be equally successful in todays' search.

 Littlejohn of. a record-breaking
 performance within a few short miles of Honolulu yesterday. AhpaH of Record At 4 a. m. Honolulu time (9:30
 a. m. EST) they passed over the
 President Coolidge and reported all was well. They were hours
 ahead of the best previous record

 Half an hour later came the first indications of trouble. Ulm began asking for weather reports.
 He asked for the naval radio sta

 Fail in Bearings For an hour the flyers tried to
 get their bearings. Their gasoline
 supply-600 gallons at the outset began to ebb.
 At 8 a. m. Honolulu time (1:S0 D. m. EST) Ulm reported he was
 lost hopelessly, but had fuel enough for another hour of flying. Then their sos cracked. The
 time was S:44 a. m. (2:15 p. m.

 had put out to sea. Naval planes
 were warming their motors. The President Coolidge moved toward where it believed the plane was. ''Going Into Water Half an hour after the sos the
 President Coolidge intercepted n message saying that the plane was "just going into the water" Come and pick us up." the fly CTS asked. Then their radio be- came silent. It was believed it hae become waterlogged or short-cir-

 Other Side of Picture
 The other side of the picture was drawn by Mrs Margaret Munns' National w. c. T. U. treasurer.
 "Prohibition will be back within five years" said Mrs Munns posi- lively. There is more drinking under the new laws than ever be- fore, saloons surround our schools women almost live in bars and the liuuor interests show no reforma- tion."
 Since the wild night last Decem- Der 5 Chicago drinking undoupted- lv has increased.
 Repeafs First Birthday
 Washington, December 5 -(UP)
 America celebrated the first birthday of post-prohibition leGai drinking today and between toasts took A look at the record.
 Here are some of the things the record showed:
 Demands for curbing the liquor industry arising in congress on charges of reversion to pre-pro- hibition practices. ,
 Reports by the treasury depart ment that bootleggings continues 10 cAt heavily into tax revenues.
 Other treasury reports snowlns the repeal revenues in the first II months totalled $S29, ,465, ,205.Sl.
 Over Billion Spent
 An estimate by liquor dealers that consumers spent $1,5OO,0oO, 900 for legal liquor in the first year of repeal. Some believe illicit liquor sales would double this total.
 Deaths from alcoholism in IA representative states show a decline from 1,464 In 1888 to 1875 in 1884.
 Decline in consumption of tax paid spirits from q pre- -Volstead figure of 3O,000,000 gallons yearly to 5O,00D,000 gallons. Bootleg liquor is believed to make up a considerable part of the difference.
 The latest attack on liquor in- terests came as many of the others from a leader in the repeal drive, Representative John J. O'Connor, democrat, N. Y.
 O'Connor predicted an inquiry by congress this winter into the "whiskey trust" and charged that

 He maintained a fair price for aged whiskey was $1.25 a quart. | His statement followed a similar

 New York, December 5 = (UP)
 - New York city, which laughed
 at prohibition behind barred doors
 of speakeasies and kept it's boot

 perance, those who cater to the thirsts of the worlds most cosmo-
 politan city reported today - the first anniversary of repeal. Hotel proprietors, operators of the city's night club hot spots and even officials who administer the liquor laws believe that one year of repeal has gone far to- ward changing the average New
 Yorker from a pampered customer of bootleggers, determined to have his own way, to 8 law abiding and
 better behaved citizen.
 On the other hand, dry leaders contend that return of liquor has been harmful and demand return to prohibition.
 Fred A. Victor, New York state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, said that drunkenness has increased from 1b to 150 per
 cent" and Mrs D. Leigh Colvin. president of the State W. c. T. U. | predicted q return to national pro-

 The supreme court says the su- perior court was asked not to nul- lify a marriage which had, In fact, taken place, but to declare void purported marriage, which if the plaintiffs contention Is correct, never did come into existence, and that if sufficient ground existed, the court had Jurisdiction to pass such e. decree.
 The opinion adds, eve would be reluctant to seem to countenance conduct which treats so lightly of one of the most Fundamental of human relationship, both as re- gards the individuals immediately concerned and the interests of so- ciety. But where it clearly appears that two young people by their foolish and unconsidered conduct have gotten themselves into such a situation as arise out of the per- formance of a marriage ceremony between them without the intent on the part of either to enter into the marriage relationship, and co- habitati0n has not followed, we have no doubt that it is in the public interest to legally declare them to be unmarried rather than to leave them under the shadow of relationship which is but an empty form"

A Grand Old Consul.

On Wednesday last in the midst of
Cuban political turmoil, of which he
had been an eyewitness of and on
for more than half a century, Joseph
Alden Springer. former United States
vice consul in Havana, passed away at
the ripe age Of eighty-nine years. He
had spent sxty-three years in the
consular service and was its dean by
wide span when he retired in 1890.
He was first sent to Cuba by President
Grant
OF sturdy New England stock, Mr..
Springer knew Cuba first as a Spanish
colony, later as struggling young re-
public, then as q fourishing nation,
and, during the past year. as a strife
torn land Of revolution and bloodshed.
He was the last American vice consul
general In Havana before our war with
Spain, and the first after 1t. Despite
advancing years, he remained in active
official harness, battle-scarred veteran
who upheld through years Of exacting
duty the finest traditions Of the con-
sular service, called upon, as it in
cessantly Is. TO perform the humble
tasks Of safeguarding the rights and
interests Of American citizens in for
eign parts without the glamour and
glory that more often fall to the lot
Of the sister diplomatic branch.
The Cuban people highly esteemed
this grand old man of the American
consular service. He had often, in tact
full but effective manner, exercised his
good Offices in promoting harmony
among the islands chronically warning
political factions. In 1928. In recog-
milton of his services in the interests Of
Cuban liberty. Joseph Alden Springer
was made an honorary member Of the
Cuban National Society Of Exiled Revo-
lutionaries. He leaves revered name
in the island and on the roster Of the
American service he so long adorned.

Protests Demoralizing
Vaudeville Programs

To the Editor Of The Star.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion lately on the advisibility OF
cleaning up the alley situation in Wash
ipgton, and it would seem that while
we are about the task of removing such
Gisgraceful phases Of indifference to
public sanitation we might also make
an effort to clean up the vaudeville sit
uation as 1t exists today in our most
representative motion picture theaters
1t Is impossible to go into one Of these

vulgarity of many of the gags" and
"wisecracks" one must be subjected to
during the vaudeville part Of the per-
formance - incidentally, vaudeville"
would be the most appropriate way of
pronouncing the word. To tolerate such
conditions In supposedly reputable
theaters Is quite as dangerous a menace
to public taste as the alley is dangerous
to public health.
Public opinion-in q great measure
through the medium of fan mail-keeps
the radio program comparatively free
from this type of vulgarxy. It would
seem to be in order for the community
to use the same means by which to let

An Austro-Italian Alliancef

Throughout the Winter evidence
has accumulated at Vienna that
Chancellor Dollfuss bestrides an ex-
ceedingly shaky throne, due to the
inceSsant Vaccinations of Nazi nf1u-
ences, inspired perhaps from Berlin,
but deeply rooted within Austria itself.
The Heimwehr, or national defense
troops on which the chancellor mainly
depends for his support, Is notoriously
saturated with NaN sentiment and
lately several of its subordinate leaders
have been detected in active maneuvers
against the Dollfuss government.
Taking courage from the arrival in
Vienna on an official mission of Signor
Suvich, undersecretary for foreign
affairs in the Italian government,
Chancellor Dollfuss has issued a public
warning to Germany that "it is not
entirely safe" to threaten "the indie
pendence and freedom of Austria" He
