A Gay, Modern Table

- nay, MOuCTH dUiS
Then, with a clear conscience
you can proceed to enjoy the din
ner party, and it should be a very
gay one. Set the table with some
of the new table runners and in
dividual mats which come in such
pleasing autumn colors-russet
red, dark green or old gold. They
are very smart and a distinct
change from the pastel colors so
long popular. If the fruits for
your centerpiece, do not come in
interesting enough colors to suit
you, wrap each one in a different
color of cellophane, and you will
have a novel and very modern
fruit bowl, with sparkling reds,
glittering blues and gay puppies.

BROADWAY TUNES
INSPIRED BY BIRDS
Writer of Many Musical Comedy
Successes Tells How Warbling
Rhythms.

EASTMAN, Mass. (P).-Some Of
the catchiest tunes that ever started
feet beating rhythmically on New York
stages were inspired by birds-just
birds.
Jerome Kern has written many
musical comedy successes since his
Very Good Eddie" back in 1915, and
he says birds have had a lot to do
with them.
Kern told about it when encoun-
tered, bird net in hand, strolling
about the estate of friend here.
Sometimes, in modern music, COM
posers attempt effects by odd, obvious
and just plain phony sounds" he
said as he paused from pursuit for a
moment, but I have gotten some
darn good tunes from birds.
Bird songs are pure melody-next
to the sound of running water. the
purest melody of nature. They've
given me some swell tunes"
Notes which he made from the call
of birds have emerged, he conflded,
in such melodic works as Music in
the Air" and The Cat and the Fid-
die" and the current Broadway sue

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

A way to wake up seeds''-and
incidentally new function of light
has just been reported by DR.. L. H.
Flint Of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
1t has been known for some time
that many kinds of seeds, such as
lettuce, dock and mullen, take nap
Immediately after harvesting. This
slumber may last for several months.
During the nap period they will not
sprout.
DR.. Flint found that the nap was
broken and they could be forced to
sprout If radiated with the longer
wave lengths of visible light such as
red, orange and yellow. If they were
radiated with the shorter wave-length
light, such as green, blue and violet,
the nap was prolonged. Radiation
with sunlight was effective, because
of the longer wave lengths which 1t
contains.
The discovery has some practical
value for seed testers. 1t promises,
however, to be more significant as
another step in untangling the ex-
tremely complicated threads of light
and life, the tangle of which is one
of the basic mysteries of nature. DR..
Flint's experiments were conducted
with lettuce seeds The long wave
lengths evidently tend to "set of" the
unknown factors in the composition
of the seed which start the new life
process.
If the composition of sunlight was
a little different, with the whole
spectrum shifted in the direction Of
the shorter wave lengths, many kinds
of seeds might not sprout at all and
the earth might gradually lose some
of its vegetation.
The long wave lengths act very
quickly on seed that has been soaked
in water, exposure of a few seconds
being sufficient to start some ger
mination.
Real Basis Discovered
For Belief in Class Quality.
The old Southern expression, quail
ty folks" may have had a Sounder
reason behind it than ''snobbishness." :"

A new peak for the Nations gross

mer peak was reached on August 81.

The final shove to a new height
came with a financing operation
amounting to slightly more than

nounced week ago.
AS against this gross debt the Treas

CURLY RAT NEWEST
BOAST OF SCIENCE
Breeding Experiments Seek More
Information About Laws of
Heredity.

PHILADELPHIA P).-A rat with
a permanent wave and a curly coat
has been developed in breeding ex-
periments by Dr. Helen Dean King
at Wistar Institute.
The curly rats appeared during
breeding experiments which seek more
information about the laws Of hered-
ity. Although commercial uses are
outside her aims, Miss King has sug-
gested that rats with curls or unusual
coiorings might have commercial value
for furs.
Among her rats are breeds with
chocolate, cinnamon and pale lapin-
colored coats.
In 20 years of study she has found
evidence that the mutations-the
changes which produce new varieties
of plants and animals-occur most
frequently among rats in the litters
Of very old or very young parents.
This indicates to her that the germ
cells Of very young or very old man.
mails act more variably than those of
animals in middle age.
The curly rat came from a long
line of straight-haired ancestors, but
now his curly-haired breed is well

Rivals Loudly Protest

A loud protest arose from rival op-
orators. Josephine Roche was "tak.

they cried. She was "unethical" But
Josephine didn't mind, neither die
her miners. 1t was their Joint un-

The price cutting didn't last long
That's the way Josephine and heI
miners are fighting today-shouldel
to shoulder. The Rocky Mountain

Every cent Josephine gets out of the
company goes back into it to keep IL
afioat. But it is af1oat; that is the
main thing, afloat when the great
Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. of the
Rockefellers is in the hands of re-
ceivers.
Josephine could protect her own
pocketbook She could sell her COM
pany and let the miners save them
selves. But that isn't her way.
Naturally, Josephine's fame has
spread. A few weeks ago the editor
of small farm paper suggested that
Josephine Roche run for Governor
That was the spark.
Things may change before Novem-

her own way now. Opposing her in
