Raising tomatoes
By Hooking Vines
10 Radio Aerial

SACRAMENT. Cal, June 20. =
Archibald Dickson en- lean out the
second story widow of his home and
pick tomatoes. He says the vine
grows that tall and yields heavily
because of mysterious wiring sys-
tenn.
Dickson, using brass tacks, con-
meets a common radio aerial to
crotches of plants. And at each end
of the vegetable bed he sinks met
al cylinder-he calls it an accumula-
tor. These. too. he connects to the
plants with wires.
No current is connected to the sys-
tenn, and Dickson says he has done
no fertilizing or other forcing. He
won't tell what's in the cylinders,
apparently water tight, but says
their purpose is purely electrical
Just what, if anything, the plants
get from the wires attached to
them, Dickson says he doesn't know
ut could be something originating
with radio broadcasts," he says, but
I don't think so. think I've stumb-
led on something new"

Immigrants Protective League. This
gave the latter opportunity for post
graduate work at the University Of
Chicago and she won her masters
degree in political science in 1909.
She held the League dictatorship
until 1917 and meanwhile was resi-

leagues there was Frances Perkins.

of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Administers Statute
When Congress passed the first
federal law against child labor, Miss
Abbott went to Washington to ad-
minister that statute for the chill
dren's bureau. When the law was
held unconstitutional she served as
advisor on the war labor policies
board, as secretary of the child well
fare conference and on the chill
dren's commission of the first in
ternational labor conference. Then
she was executive secretary of the
Illinois immigrants commission un-
til she became director of the chill
dren's bureau in August, 1921.
She represented the United States
at Geneva on the League of Nations
commission for the protection of
children and on its inquiry into traf-
fic in women and children in the
east. She served as President of the
National Conference Of Social Work
and was on the boards of many
other national agencies.
Pithy Phrases Win Battles $500.
Miss Abbott had an aptness of
phrase which often served her well
in the many battles into which Ad-
ministration of Federal Bureau pre-
cipitated her. When faced with cur
tailment Of funds for child health
work, she clinched her argument
with:
THE time to save the children
who will die this year, Is this year"
One time she went down to de-
feat. She administered the federal
maternity and infancy act during
its life, l92l-29, spreading it to As
states. Then Congress refused fur
ther appropriations for the work
But Miss Abbott was not discourage
ed and quietly predicted eventual
victory. Her working philosophy
was:
