CHAPTER V.
BY FRANK G. CARPENTER.


IN few days the bones of John
Howard Payne will be laid under
the spot where am now writing,
in this beautiful Oak Hill Gene
terry in Georgetown. The man
who wrote Home, Sweet Home"
knew not in life what the word
home" meant, and at his death he
was laid by foreign hands in an
African grave. For 80 years his body
wasted away in the dry sands of
Tunis, until his flesh was entirely
consumed and only the shreds of his
clothing remained. All this time the
Nation which bore him, thrilling
daily with his sweet song, apparently
forgot its author. The present gener-
alton scarcely knew the name o. John
Howard Payne until w. w. Corcoran.
the millionaire philanthropist of
Washington, instituted a movement
to bring his remains to the home OF
which he wrote so Sweetly and which
he loved so well. They will be placed
in a vault here Immediately upon
their arrival, and on the 9th OF next
June, 81 years since Payne was born.

a monument will be erected over them
with appropriate ceremonies. The in
Scription on this monument will be:

Author of Home, Sweet Home"
Born June 9, 1892,
Died April 10, 1852.

spreading branches of a large purple

Suggests Compromise.

l thereupon venture to suggest
compromise between the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration and its
critics in the matter of the new pro-
posed amendments to the agricultural
adjustment act
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration has already issued nu-
merouS licenses. 1t has issued them
for handlers of milk, of peanuts, of
.walnutS. of celery, of asparagus, of
rice, of shade-grown tobacco, of Tokay
grapes, of olives. of citrus fruits, of de-
ciduous tree fruits, of gum turpentine,
OF gum roSin and even of bees The
varying terms and conditions" of
these licenses have included the fixing
OF the prices to be paid to producers,
the fixing of the prices to be charged
to consumers, the dividing of output
among producers, the dividing of out
put among professors and other de-
vices. There have been court deci-
SONS sustaining the validity of such
licenses. The granting and operating
OF such licenses may be broadmind-
edly taken as instances of the "eco-
nomic experimentation" which at this
moment most Of the people of the
United States seem to want to see
tried.
1t should be tried, just the same,
think, not by "deemings" and dream
ings and whims, but by known law
Let the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, therefore, make a little
list of the terms" and conditions"
which it has been using in licenses
and an additional little list of other
terms" and conditions" which it
would like to use in licenses, and let
it say to Congress:
We withdraw the request that Mr..
Wallace be permitted to think up
terms" and conditions" in licenses
as he goes along. Here are the spe-
cific terms" and the specific "condi-
tionS" which we wish him to have the
authority to insert into licenses. We
ask for these terms" and these con
dltionS" and no others.
Why not? Then the Congress would
know what it was doing and the rest
of us would know what was coming
to us.

|Wonder'Boy
Talks TO
Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 7. G.N.SO.
Arthur Greenwood, a curly.haired
7.year-old boy, who has been
identified as the mystery won
der child whose intelligence
quotient is Is points higher than
Albert Einstein's, was interview
ed today.
Arthur looked up at his inter.
viewer and said:
II cannot account for the
desire on the part of the Ma
tion's press to publicize what
they refer to as my intellectual
feats."
The reportorial pencil raced
while Arthur continued:
"As for myself, l consider it
utterly silly, if not in bad
taste, for a person to enjoy
seeing his name banded about
N the public prints"
Arthur's I. @. is 230. Most
successful persons get along
quite nicely with about 100. He
added:
THE only reason I have
consented to be interviewed is
to clear up conflicting stories
which in the past few days
have appeared about me in the
New York press.
THAT is the only reason. OF
course, I can understand there
are exceptions about publicity.
AS, for instance, in the case of
notable achievements. But ]
have done nothing"
Arthur's identity was revealed
when conflicting educational in.
terests got into an argument as
to who had smartened him up.
His existence was announced by
the Ethical Culture School Of
Brooklyn as a prize example of
their products. Then the president
of the Parent-Teachers' ASsocia-
ton of U. S. 217, where Arthur
passed the first and second grades
without difficulty, identified him.
P. S. 217 should get some credit,
she said.
French At Three
His parents modestly interjected
that Arthur was just born smart.
At three years Of age he could
speak French as we'll as English
fluently. His talents seem to lean
towards music and mathematics
like the great Einstein. In his spare
time he devised a number alpha
bet with which he likes to write.
He also devised number method
of writing music to simplify the
diatonic scale for his fellow pupils.
While his own reading leans to
science, he is the favorite story
teller among his school compan-
ions. And he likes the colored
comics on Sunday.
Likes POpeye
His favorite character IS Pop
eye.
Arthur is not forced intel
lectual plant. He is being held,
kept under wraps, so to speak.
His associations all are with
children of his own age, except
for his parents. The greatest care
is being exercised so that he may
grow up to be normal person.
