PROPOSALS HERE URGED
Attorney Suggests "Deliberative"
Farley Where "All Voices"
Would Be Heard.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 9-Morris Ernst
New York attorney, proposed today
a "deliberative convention" in Wash
ington where proponents and op-
ponents of President Roosevelt's
Supreme Court program could air
their views.
Ernst offered the suggestion in
speaking before the Executive Com
mittee of the National Lawyers Guild.
"All voices would be heard in such
a forum" he said.
Ernst said the Constitution was
"geared to The needs of the post-revo-
lutionary era of the eighteenth cen
tury and needs to become a modern
fluid instrument which will carry out
the will Of the American people"
Federal Judge William H. Holly pre-
sided at the luncheon meeting.

Hardest Type of Poetry.

It is easy to write verse that is
highly novel, but not worth reading,
as so many people do, a critic says;
it is not very difficult to write verse
that is quite readable but not original
as many others do, he continues; but
to create lyrics that have certain rare
literary qualities and. further, have
their creators personality stamped on
them, is to have some kinship with the
great masters.

BANKERS GATHER
Talk "shop" at Boston Prior to
Opening of Convention,

BOSTON, October 9 CP).-Bankers
from widely-separated sections of the
Nation talked shop" tonight in small,
informal groups on the eve of the
sixty-third annual convention Of the
American Bankers Association.
Mindful of the declaration Of Tom
X. Smith, of st. Louis, association
president, that "a number of serious
banking questions will come up for
consideration" the bankers plunged
into their "off-the-record" sessions as
they arrived at convention head
quarters. The convention proper will
not get under way until Tuesday.

SAMMY CAUGHT A NICE TROUT.


under some ferns in the shade of
an alder bush at the head of the
Smiling Pool. Farmer Browns Boy
had caught two speckled beauties,
and these also had been put in the
basket. Then the trout stopped biting.
Either we have caught all that
were here Or those we haven't caught
have become suspicious. Well give
them a rest and try down the Laugh
ing Brook below the Smiling Pool"
said Farmer Browns Boy.
Just as you say, Tommy. Shall
! bring along the basket?" Sammy
replied
No" said Tommy. Leave it where
It is. We won't go far and that is a
nice cool spot in which to keep those
fish. They'll be all right there"
SO they moved on down below the
Smiling Pool. Rattles the Kingisher
flew low over the water ahead of
them, sounding his rattles as he flew.
Longlegs the Great Blue Heron rose
somewhat heavily just ahead of them.
See how he lays that long neck
of his back on his shoulders, so that
only his long bill is out in front, and
how he carries his long legs straight
out behind him. Geese and Ducks
stretch their necks out full length
when flying, but Herons do just the
opposite. so it is easy to know them
when flying, even at distance" said
Tommy.
AS they approached small but
promising pool Watersnake slipped
into the water. mo use fishing there"
declared Tommy in tone of disgust.
THAT fellow probably has caught any
that were there. If not he has scared
them so that others get the blame
{or it."
What others?" asked Sammy.
"Herons and Kingfishers mostly"
replied Tommy. II know fishermen
who call themselves sportsmen who
think every Heron and Kingfisher
should be killed just because now and
then they do catch a trout. The
truth is most of the fish they catch
are minnows and dace and such kinds,
which are of no use to man and which
often eat the eggs of the trout And
all the time those birds are being
blamed it is Watersnakes that are
doing the mischief. They have big
families, Watersnakes do, and one
family in a brook will destroy more
trout than all the Herons and King
fishers get in all the brooks for miles
around. Now we'll fish that pool
just ahead, and then we'll go back.
You try your luck first"
Sammy caught a nice trout, but
apparently that was the only one
there. for neither boy could get 50
much as bite afterward. They made
their way back, slowly fishing as they
went. When they reached the Smiling
Pool Sammy hurried to the upper end
to put his fish with the others. Imag-
inc his dismay when he found that,
save for the moss and wet grass, the
basket was empty. His cry brought
Tommy on the run. What had be-
come of those fish. What could have
become of them? No possible thief
was in sight. 1t was mystery.

X-RAY PROGRESS
: ON CANCER CITED
Promise of Full Victory in
Future Seen by DR..
Joseph EIWard.

Although admitting cancer is in
durable in its malignant form, DR..
Joseph Elward, head of the X-ray
department of Sibley Hospital, said
yesterday the remarkable progress in
treatment of the disease with X-ray
during recent years gives promise of
a complete medical victory over the
dread malady in the future.
Speaking before some 200 members
of the Sibley Woman's Guild at the
hospital, DR., Elward pointed out that
the guilds proposed gift to the hos
pital of modern X-ray therapy equip
ment will enable doctors to carry on
the search for cancer cure.
400 Diseases Affected.
Besides cancer. there are at least
400 other diseases which react favor
ably to X-ray treatment, DR.. Elward
added.
With the aid of X-ray photograph
negatives projected on a lighted
screen he illustrated the course of
treatment pursued in cancer cases.
Most encouraging was the story of
woman patient brought under his
care two years ago as a supposedly
incurable victim. Her strapping nus
band, the doctor related, considered
her case hopeless. Showing the course
of her improvement on the screen,
Or. Elward said the patient was alive
and without pain today, surviving
her husband.
Present Success Lauded.
However high the mortality rate"
he said, "the work carried on today
In prolonging life and lessening pain
would make the effort worthy one
without the promise of future success" !"
Mrs. Samuel Mooers, president of
the guild, expressed the groups re-
action as one of new zeal in their
determination to secure funds for the
X-ray equipment.

1T WAS a good day for fishing
Farmer Browns Boy had said so
when he and his cousin Sammy had
started out early that morning, and
so it was proving to be. Sammy was
learning what Farmer Browns Boy
had learned long ago-that it is not
all of fishing to catch fish. But he
was catching them. He had three
nice trout to his credit, despite the
fact that he had much to learn in
the sport that old Isaac Walton ele-
waited to an art wherein he found
the key to sweet and gentle phi
iosophy.
The fish were placed in a moss
lined basket and covered with wet
grass. and the basket was placed

depends on four things-the amount,
distribution and form of selenium in the
soil profile; the kind of plant, the por-
ton of the plant examined and the
composition Of the soil, especially its
available sulphur content. The few OBJ
ServationS made of the distribution Of
selenium in plants indicate that it is
higher in the seeds, blossoms and leaves:
lower in the stems and least In the roots. "
During the past years soils from the
erosion experiment stations were studied
and examined by newly developed meth
DDS for certain elements which occur
only in very minute quantities and which
ordinarily are not included in soil
analyses. In each of the soil profiles
examined were found traces of seleniun,
arsenic, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc,
barium, chromium and vsnadium. The
quantities varied from less than one
tenth of a part per million for selenium,
cobalt and nickel to 7o8 parts per million
for barium.
In the past little significance has been
attributed to these In agriculture, but,
says the report, ut is becoming apparent
that these and other trace elements play
an important part in soil behavior, as
well rs plant nutrition and even the
food value of agricultural products. There
Is need for more knowledge concerning
the content Of the trace elements in the
agricultural soils of the country"
In this connection, 1t Is revealed, the
bureau is planning a comprehensive CO.
operative research project with State ex-
pertinent stations and State universities
to determine the effects of soil, fertilizers.
climate, crop rotation, cultivation and
variety Of plants on the constituents of
plants and their value as food. Differ
ences in texture and taste of vegetables
from various parts of the country, which
have been unexplainable in the past,
may be due to minute bits Of certain rare
elements in the soil which are absorbed
by the plants and which play q notable
role in their physiology.
