late cosmos plants of the same age grow in each of two compartments of the cabinet. Those in the first get a short made-to-order day of ten hours. Those in the second are given a long day of sixteen hours. Cosmos normally blooms in the Fall when the days are short, while golden-glow blooms in the summer when the days are long. Therefore, although the temperature, moisture, food, and age of the plants are the same in each cabinet, and the only difference is the length of "day" to which they are subjected, the cosmos blooms only in the short-day compartment, while the golden-glow blooms only in the long day compartment. This clearly shows that the length of light period is the chief factor in determining the character of plant growth. The violet, for example, flowers profusely when given ten hours of illumination. When its day is extended to sixteen hours, nothing is produced but leaves and long stems. Late golden-glow is another short-day plant. By proper manipulation, it can be made to flower out of season during Nature's long days. When a single plant shows the characteristic growth of two different seasons on separate branches, the veteran winegrower knows. A partition is placed between two branches of a short-day plant. One side is exposed to a long day, and the other to a short day. One side blooms while the other continues to send out leaves and stems. Comte Wladimir d'Ormesson has just published a study of M. Gérard, the first diplomatic agent whom France sent to the United States in 1778, after the signing of a treaty of alliance between the French King and the new American nation. The work is reviewed interestingly by M. Jean de Pange in the Journal des Débats. Happy Choice. The choice of Gérard as agent to America, says M. de Pange, was a happy one.

In the volume concerning him, which has drawn heavily from the archives of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the story is told of America's early financial struggles, and the help in solving her problems which was extended by France. "Inflation, and then a depreciation of the value of the paper dollar, a giddy rise in prices helped a wild frenzy of speculation, had produced disastrous results in American finances," the reviewer says, "At that time, it was America who sought to stabilize her money, and it was the King of France who directed a committee of bankers to study ways to help the economic and financial situation of her overseas ally." Gérard's Part The volume that Comte d'Ormesson tells the part which Gérard played in this work. The reviewer, commenting thereon, expresses doubt as to whether the separation of the United States from the British Empire really has been as advantageous for France as Benjamin Franklin led Vergennes and the French Government of his time to believe. If America had been part of the British Empire, says the reviewer, she would have entered the World War far later, saving tens of thousands of lives, and would not now be abstaining from playing her part in European affairs. THOMAS TAGGART. Mr. Thomas Taggart, the leading Democratic politician, has just been forced to abandon a fight he has been making for months to place Mr. Samuel M. Ralston,

THOMAS TAGGART. Mr. Thomas Taggart, the leading Democratic politician, has just been forced to abandon a fight he has been making for months to place Mr. Samuel M. Ralston, the Indiana senator, in the White House. Senator Ralston sent him word last night that he has withdrawn absolutely from the race. Thus ends perhaps the last chance of Mr. Taggart to become a “President maker,” the goal of all political bosses, and one of the ambitions he has pursued since he started to play politics back in the closing days of the 19th Century. Mr. Taggart is 68 years old; he is a hotel proprietor by vocation, but his main business is politics. He is also one of the owners of the French Lick Springs Hotel Company. Since 1886, he has been a force in Indiana politics, on the Democratic side. In order to be a force in Indiana politics, one has to put in at least an eight-hour day as a politician. Indiana politics is to the common or garden variety of politics as fine surgery is to corner-market butchery. It is very keen. Mr. Taggart has been keen enough so that he quit office-holding after a brief youthful fling at being auditor of Marion County and he consented to be appointed United States Senator in 1916 to fill a vacancy, and served until the Harding landslide of

From 1900 until the present, he has been a member of the Democratic National Committee, and was its chairman from 1904 to 1908. Sweet-Tempered English Professor Caldwell, of McGill University, in bringing greetings from Montreal to the Conference of the Brotherhood Movement, at Whitfield’s Tabernacle in London yesterday, said that everybody who goes to England admires “the patient, the non-bragging, the easy-going, the kindly humanitarian spirit” with which Englishmen are bearing all the great burdens of the present time. “The English people are the most sweet-tempered people in the World,” he added. THE STORY OF THE A.C.C. It is an interesting chapter of history, secret some of it, and remarkable, that Major-General Henry T. Allen, U.S. Army, has set down in a diary of the period from June, 1919, to February, 1923, on the first date he succeeded General Pershing in command of American forces in Europe and on the second the American army of occupation was withdrawn from the Rhine.

The book brings out once more the fact that the General was well fitted for a difficult post. His War record was excellent; he sped along French and German well, and he is a man of the world who combines strength of character with tact. When he left the Rhine it was with the good wishes of all with whom he had come in contact, including the Germans he had controlled. His relations remained always cordial with the officials of the Allies, although he had had many differences with them, some acute. Day-by-Day Records, The volume is a day-by-day record of the General's administrative measures, difficulties, interviews, and impressions throughout the period of his command. Some of the criticisms are insincere and they manifest concern lest he should be accused of going too far in publishing them. Throughout the book it is clear, as it had been before the book was published, that General Allen had pronounced views on the situation in Europe even before he went to the Rhine. He held that France’s position with regard to Germany was quite other than that of America or Great Britain and that her views must be expected to be different. He believed the Peace Treaty to have been drastic, but also that America should have ratified it after obtaining revisions he was convinced she could have obtained. “Hope in the Tripartite Agreement,” he

Trefçier, the French High Commissioner in the Rhineland, and General Degoutte. With General Mangin and especially with Marshall Foch his relations were even more cordial. Perhaps the most dramatic passage of the book is the description of General Allen’s drive into the Ruhr, to take leave of the commander of the Allied troops. President Harding had ordered the American troops home. All along the road to Düsseldorf the Germans stared curiously at the automobile bearing the American flag into country into which the American troops would never move. “MY RHINELAND DIARY,” by Henry T.

Within the past two weeks Cherrapunji, in Eastern Bengal, has had a rainfall of more than 137 inches. “PARIS TIMES” LETTER BOX Danger in Blisters In connection with the untimely death of Calvin Coolidge, Jr., doctors point out that blisters are dangerous when the skin breaks. Immediately a germ enters the wound it begins to multiply, and once the septic condition reaches the blood it spreads, infecting all the organs. Relief, and often salvation, lies in blood transfusion, but where the infection has taken a firm hold even this resource sometimes fails. If the broken skin is cleansed and antiseptic solutions are applied there is no reason why blood poisoning should be feared. The Japanese Side, To the Editor of The Paris Times Certain of your readers have pointed out that the United States is not the only country where Japanese are not admitted and they seem to wonder why the Japanese direct their protests to America only. The explanation is this: Japan has made no protest to the Dominion of Canada because Canada has not put a statutory ban on the Japanese. The Japanese Government had voluntarily agreed to restrict Japanese immigration into Canada. Japan has made no protest to the Commonwealth of Australia because Australia has not legislated against the Japanese although literacy tests are imposed on immigrants. For a number of years, Japan had been voluntarily restricting the number of its immigrants into America. What is obnoxious to Japanese sentiment is

Japan has made no protest to the Commonwealth of Australia because Australia has not legislated against the Japanese although literacy tests are imposed on immigrants. For a number of years, Japan had been voluntarily restricting the number of its immigrants into America. What is obnoxious to Japanese sentiment is 1. That the “Gentleman’s Agreement” was abruptly broken by act of Congress, -and 2. That the Immigration Law is unqualifiedly discriminatory against the Japanese when there was no necessity for such discrimination. It is not Japan’s wish to send immigrants into the United States. She is not pleased with the method of statutory restriction. A JAPAN, ESSE, TO The Editor of The Paris Times: — My wife doesn’t like to appear in public, but they do things here so much differently than they do in Kansas and Iowa, that I want to voice a few complaints. One of the first things I noticed is your absence of speed laws. I never saw things go so fast in my life as your autos do, and even in Dodge City they go faster than 1 mile times. They don’t stop at the corners and sometimes it takes five minutes to cross one street. And your ideas of tipping. I left my hotel to move the other day and the whole hotel force was down by the front door waiting with outstretched palms for money. The management of hotels in Kansas certainly would not permit any such thing to happen. That they charged

Wandering from Paris and through the Suburbs, there is little of Interest until one reaches the Opera. This Place is so Called because the Students visit it at Staged Intervals and give their College yell—“Opera Ra! Rah!”—and it is the most Prominent Place in this Nearby Village to Paris. The Main Street of this Village took its Name from the Fact that the Word Main, in French, means Hand, and in the Old Days, under Seize-a-Franc, the French used to call this Some Street, hence the Combination—Main for Hand and Some—Handsome. In these days, however, the Custom of Calling it Main Street has been Abandoned, and it Carries Many Names, One of Which is—Madeleine's-Cap-Cut-Scene, taken from the Fact that Madeleine Shopped here and, as she Was a Fanatic on Caps, she Sold Many Appearing in the Same Cap Piece; a Better Name for the Street Would Have Been Capricious. However, this Serious-Serial Naming was done to do away with the Betty Jealousies Which are Between the Natives in the Many Villages through which this Street runs, par exemple, the Italians, the Greeks Under Saint-Denis, and the Potters.

Along this Street are many Famous Structures, the Principal of which are the Café de la Paix and a Monument which is a Credit to the Lyonnais, on Account of its having been erected by Contributions from Many Wealthy Persons. Running off this Street is the Rue des Jeûneurs, This Thoroughfare is connected With the International Consolidated Diamond Diggining Company of South Africa by a Tunnel, through which Diamonds are Shot Directly to the Street, Business since the War, however, has been Dull in so far as the Diamond Shooting Business is Concerned, as the Russians Rushing their Diamonds from the Crowned Heads to this Street have Gutted the Market; nevertheless, the American Scouts come over each year for help in removing the Tunnel Construction. Following down the Rue des Jeûneurs one comes to the River Leé and crosses over to the Bouchers, Which took its Name from the Time that Vuiman Sharpened his War Tools here when He declared War on Mark Antony Over Who was to Present the Serpent to Cleopatra. Cleopatra, however, Presented the Serpent to Herself, so the War Was Declared a Draw. Leaving the Bouchers, one proceeds to the next River—the Seine.

This River derived its Name from the Time that Caesar Jumped in, declaring—“I am Insane”; also when the Fishermen placed a Seine at the Pont au Change to Change the Course of the Fish. The Fish escaped, however, and have been Insane ever since. Many Bridges span this Famous River, Several of Which are useful, and Some of Which are Ornamental. The Most Useful One is at the Place de la Concorde; and Permits the Deputies to reach the Chamber of Deputies without making a Detour, thus Losing Less Time by going from Left to Right; keeping to the Center, par exemple. The next important Structure which Presents Itself to One’s vision from this Point is the Tour Eiffel, but as this is One of the High Spots in the Suburbs of Paris, and Entails several Stories Within Itself, space at this time Will not permit the Elaborate Description Warranted, so it must be Postponed until a later date, when it Will Appear in this Column.
