Once more, Watertown folk en-joyed the musical concert given bythe combined Taft school musicalorganizations in the Communitytheatre this week under the di-rection of George Morgan, instructorof music and coach of the variousorganizations. The concert was givenfor the benefit of and under the aus-pices of the Civic Union. The con-cert brought out a high standardof choral performance, and the gleeclub showed thorough perparationand a fine comprehension of the ele-ments of group singing, namely,smooth, well controlled tone, cleardiction, and the ability to respond tothe leader's wishes. •

The solo numbers by WilliamBoardman and Harding Clegg weremuch appreciated and the woodwindquartet which made it first concertappearance was very much enjoyed.

The dance orchestra was encoredand gave several additional selections.The boys appeared to be very much

In addition to being smallthe present building is not welladapted to church purposes, and theerection of a new stone church willfill.a growing need.

Methodist Offer Church, It is interesting to reeall at this:3$»e, also, the fact that a 3hort time

ago an offer made to BethlehemMethodists to the local Roman Cath-olic mission of the unused Methodistchurch was declined. The churchwa.< offered gratis to the .RomanCatholics provided they would con-duct regular services there, but wasdeclined with statements by officialsof the church in which they express-ed their appreciation of the offera"d the friendly spirit that prompt-ed the move. It was stated at thetime that Roman Catholic officalsbelieved it more advisable to add tothe present church building as meanspermitted and necessity demandedrather than accept the larger build-in<r offered them and abandon theirfi.'mer building.

ASPHALTIC CONCRETE FORAIRPORT RUNWAYS

At the present time in aviationcircles, there is a definite trend to-ward paving of airports. On dirt fieldsthe sort that are in common use,a far longer runway is necessary be-fore a plane can attain sufficient speedto take to the air. In landing thepaved runway permits of smooth taxi-ing, where the dirt field allows onlyof irregular spurts.

For a permanent surface it has beendetermined that asphaltic concrete,of the same type used in highwayconstruction, is efficient and durable.Its property of absorbing impact pre-vents bouncing as much as possible,and lessens rebound.

Further advantages are in the swift-ness with which asphalt concretemay be laid, and the fact that it pre-sents good visibility for night land-ings

DO TREES FREEZEIN WINTER SEASON?

Nature's Scheme of Protection WorksPerfectly, and Trees Simply

Stand Dormant

Do forest trees freeze in winter?Most persons answering this questionoffhand would say, "Of course." Butscientific investigations have shownthat the answer should be the opposite"They. 4p jnpt freeze." During warmweather this sap in a tree slowly pas-ses through the tree structure fromroots to leaves. In fact the mois-ture in a tree constitutes its principalweight but nature has providedagainst its freezing, says the NewYork State College of Forestry, Syra-cuse University.

Nature has commanded that sapcirculation in trees in cold climatesshall stop and that the trees shallstand dormant during the winter,like certain wild animals that sleepthrough this season. The cells whichcompose the tree structure and thesap which they contain simply remaninactive - with all their natural pro-perties unimpaired. The sap stopsrunning but does not leave the tree.It rather congeals and in the mysteryof this thickening process there isimparted certain properties to thesap that seem to prevent freezing.If the cells in a tree should freeze,the tree would die. Nature has alsoprovided an overcoat as additional pro-tection in the form of bark. Bark isa non-conductor of heat, so in winterit has a tendency to shut out the coldand in summer to retard the entranceof heat into the body of the tree.

But it might be said that trees dofreeze as it has been' noticed in thewoods that the frost will sometimessplit a tree trunk open. This is notdue to freezing. It is probably bestexplained by the force of contractionand expansion exerted in the body ofthe tree trunk during the extremechanges in temperature. It is likethe tightening of the cover on a base-ball, or the contraction of the earth'scrust which results in a fracture ofthe surface.

Literary Ability Wins Con-vict a Pardon.

Columbus, Ohio.—Another O.ry has been discovered behind thedrab, gray wails of Ohio state peni-tentiary.

He Is John B. Murphy, a formersoldier, whose adeptness witb the penhas won him a pardon.

Murphy, or "Morph.- u to Hknown by prison guards, was sent npfor ten years for a robbery at Ma-rlon, Ohio. .

In 1808 tbe far famed O. Henry,wbose real name was W. 8. Porter,began bis literary career behind thesesame walls.

Like O. Henry, Murphy developeda craving to write.

"When I came here," be said, *Tthought over tbe folly of my pastlife.

Realizes Folly."I realized bow hopeless It was.

and since I had an Itch to write Idecided to satisfy It, trying' meantimeto do something useful.

"I had never written anything, butI always felt that I could turn outmagazine stories.. "I took a correspondence course InEnglish and studied every book 1could get my hands on.

"Warden Thomas wus good enoughto assign me to night duty In thelibrary so I would have time to write.

"1 do not write easily. It Is reallabor for me, but 1 like It.

"Naturally, when checks for mystories began to come in 1 was great-ly encouraged."

Murphy has made $7,000 since bewas imprisoned. Although he hasnever been within thousands of milesof a buttleneld, he writes war storiesso realistically that hundreds of read-ers believed him a battle scarred vet-eran.

Thinks Him Soldier.His publisher, writing to Warden

Thomas, expressed the belief thatMurphy was a World war veteran, andsold:

"Judging from his stories tbe manwas a soldier in every sense of theword, and he must have gone throughsome of tbe worst campaigns In theA. R F."

In a communication to the state pa-role board Murphy admitted that bispast life did not entitle him to anyconsideration and called himself a"plain, unvarnished fool."

Before entering tbe prison Murphywas in the army, but was arrested fordesettlon and forgery and sentencedto McNeil Island, off San Francisco.

He escaped from there and was re-captured and sentenced to Leaven-worth. He was sentenced to the Ohioprison in 1023.

Murphy has been writing under thename of Burt Stokes and is balledhere as another O. Henry. Some in-sist he Is better than the famed Hen-ry. He has developed an exceptionaltalent and Is capable of drawing anextremely subtle, humorous and thrill-ing plot

Upon receipt of Murphy's plea fora parole, the state clemency boardforwarded it to Gov. Vic Donabeywith a favorable recommendation.

The governor, convinced that a manwith Murphy's honest earning powerwill "go straight," issued a parole.

In convict life Murphy Is known asNo. 52410.

Denver, Colo.—Scientists a ngtng into the earth In manyf the western plains country, inking

more light on fairly well establishedcontentions that prehistoric man exist-ed In America millions of years ago.

The work being done contradicts toa great extent the common belief thatthe life of man In America did not ap-proach the antiquity found In Europe;

Harold J. Cook, honorary curator ofpaleontology at the Colorado museumof natural history, gave a synopsis ofrecent scientific achievements In thisregion when be addressed the Colo-rado-Wyoming academy of sciences atDenver university.

"During the Pleistocene age wehave ample evidence that various racesif bison Invaded America from Asia,"

he said. "In fact, Asia Is now general-ly admitted to have been the center>f development and dispersal of mam-

malian life throughout tertiary times.Now, with* all these, things In

mind, Is It not logical to believe thattarty man. developing under such con-

ditions, could migrate Into Americaquite as well as tbe game he bunted,at any time they could get there?"

Following out tbls line of thought,Doctor Cook told of recent dlscov-rics tending to substantiate the the-

ory. At the town of Colorado, Insouthwest Texas, were found skele-tons of a new type of extinct, flathorned bison, and remains of tworaces of elephant, a large camel, vari-ous extinct horses and other typical!.*

lelstocene mammals.""In taking out an articulated skele-

on of one of these flat horned bison,"Cook said, "representatives of tbe Col-orado museum found three arrowheads definitely associated In the mat-rix with it and under conditions thatpreclude the possibility of error. Theywere undoubtedly shot into that verybuffalo."

At about the same time fossil re-mains of a large extinct bison werefound near Folsom, N. M.

"The American museum. New York,was invited to participate In the workthis last summer," said Cook, "anddid so. Here, associated with thebison, sixteen flint points were foundof an absolutely new type and of thefinest grade of workmanship knownIn flaked stone. .

"Fortunately, four of these were ex-posed undisturbed In position wherefound during the course of these ex-cavations. There Is no question ofdefinite association here of these flintpoints with a race of extinct bison."

Potassium Ray Found; .Stronger Than Radium's

Berlin.—Discovery of rays frompotassium, whlcb be says are morepenetrating than those from radium,Is announced by the physicist, Prof.Werner Kolhoerster of the FederalTechno-Physlcal Institute here.

The fact that potassium is radio-active has been known to physicists.Professor Kolhoerster says, and theyknow also that It emitted rays knowjias beta emanations. But the activitybe found is something different;

While making tests of minerals thatstretched in the shape of layers alongthe bottom of a mine near Strassburg.he detected very intense rays, describedas gamma emanations.

— FIRST iftUOrtAIRELawyer Describes Business

Wew Tort—The first American oriVlionalre was George Washington, ac-cording to Eugene B. Prusslng. LosAngeles lawyer, formerly of Chicago,who has Just completed thirteen yeanof research Into Washington's careeras a business man. Summing up theresults of his study In tbe AmericanMagazine, Mr. Prusslng says:

"It Is customary to think of Wash-ington as soldier and statesman. Hewas also a man of business, success-ful farmer, builder of transportation,engineer, pioneer and promoter. Bewhs a man of broad commercial visionand rare business ability. He spentone-fourth of his life In public ser-vice and yet left behind him a recordof business achievement and a for-tune that entitles him to be calledour first millionaire. Re started lifewith bat a few cents of his own.When be died the land and other In-vestments that be directed to be soldwere worth, by his own conservativeestimate In his will. $530,000. and thisdid not Include some of the mostvaluable portions of his estate.

"To many of us Washington Is amythical figure, hidden behind fableslike that of the self-righteous littleboy and the hypothetical cherry tree.As a matter of fact, be was a verydifferent sort of person. He was aman who would bave been perfectlyat ease In a group of modern bigbusiness men around tbe directors'table. And be enjoyed fox huntingand dancing, as the modern man en-Joys golf.

Was Good Business Man."In his Ideals, his sense for giving

value as well as getting It, his In-sistence on exact statistics, his zealfor hlg constructive undertakings, forstriking Into vlrgtn fields, seizing op-portunities, opening avenues to de-velopment, his Instinctive slzlng-up of.the possibilities of profit In a deal-In all these matters and others likethem, his attitude was strikinglysimilar to that of the best of modernbusiness. He did not definitelyformulate any rule? for moneymnkI i biformulate any rule? for moneymnkIng,- but he follows certain basic

i "principles throughout his career.Washington's apprenticeship In

business started soon after his father'sdeath, which occurred when the boywas twelve.

"From that time," Mr. Prusslngs&vs, "he was pretty much on his own,and was always faced with the prob-lem of making a living.

Washington's first Job was as anapprentice surveyor with G. W. Fair-fax. At seventeen he became officialsurveyor of Culpepper county, andbegan his life work as an engineer.Be had the thrifty Idea of not takingall his pay In cash.

'0EN tfaeanoooncenentwas made that eachdffiffwilnMtlftfT of thenew currency, whichla to be Issued onJuly j of this year,was to bear a differ-ent portrait of a dis-tinguished American,

a Mew York congressman wrote toSecretary Mellon of tbe Treasury de-partment as follows:

I am Informed that tbe portraits ontbs new bills will Include Washington;Jefferson, wltb a picture of llontlcello

• on tbe obverse side; Lincoln, wltb tbsLincoln memorial on tn« obverse side;Hamilton, wltb tbe Treasury building;Jackson with tb* White House: Grant,with tbs Capitol; Franklin, wltb In-dependence ball: as welt ss McKlnley.Cleveland, Madison and Chase.

I notice wltb regret tbe absence ofAlbert Gallatln, secretary of tbe tress*ury und»r Jefferson snd Madison.

He was a gr*st secretary of tbetressury. Surely be should.be remem-bered by s grateful nation by havinghis picture on a series of these bills.Of all foreign-born cltlsens who bsverisen to power and fame in the UnitedStatea, Albert Gallatln was tbe most4lstlnguls!ied.

He made a deep • Impression onAmerican history directly sfter theRe-'Olutlon and served his countryhonorably as a member of congress.United States senator, minister toFrance, and mlnlrter to England, sndpeace commissioner st tbe Treaty ofGhent, and Isit but not least he wasone of your honored predecessors.

The purchase of Louisiana was thegreat measure of Jefferson's first term,but It was Gallatln who arranged forits psyment snd did «o without In the•lightest degree deranging _ his plansfor the funding of the national debt.When the War of 1812 came upon us,great financial burdens were placedupon the Treasury department, butGallatln. with great iklll and wisdom,discharged them successfully.

Although Gallatln's portrait will notappear upon the new money, that the"grateful nation" of which the NewYork congressman spoke hus not for-gotten entirely his services Is shownby the fact that last year congresspassed a Joint resolution authorlzlni;the erection of a statue to Gallatlnand directing that It be placed on theateps of the Treasury building inWashington with that of AlexanderHamilton to remind Americans thatour financial system is due to thesetwo great men. •_ .

Unfamiliar though the story of Gal-latin's life may be to many Amer-icans, it wns nevertheless a romanticnnd an Important one. He wns one ofthe earliest examples of H foreign-

, born citizen rising to a position ofprominence In the United States. Hewns horn in Geneva. Switzerland. In1701 find received a good education Inthnt city which was then one of theprlnclpnl centers of learning' In Eu-rope. Hnvlng been left an orphan,r.nllatln decided to emigrate to Amer-ica, especially as It-offered an oppor-tunity for an adventurous life. In thewllderneeB which he desired. ThereIs a legend that an unfortunate loveaffair drove him to this decision, butthe truth .of the legend Is unknown.It Is interesting to note that he wasoffered a commission In the forces ofthe I-nndgrave of Hesse, who was fur-nishing soldiers to the British kingfor service agnlnst the Americans, butthnt Gallatln declared "he would nev-er serve a tyrant."

Arriving In Boston In 1780. he spentsome time there until he grew wearyof "Its monotonous life and.'Puritantone." Then he embarked upon a trad-ing expedition tb the frontier ofMaine, but when this proved unprofit-able he returned to Boston and be-came an Instructor In French at Har-vard college. After staying there ayear, Gallatln proceeded to New Torkwhich was then (1783) still In thehands of the British, and tbelr in-solence to the young Swiss Is said tohnve been responsible for bis leav-Ing there very soon and going on toPhiladelphia and Richmond.

While In Virginia be became Inter-ested In the lands south of the Ohio,as a promising field for speculation,and here he purchased a thousandacres, which he bought for a hundredpounds. In Virginia money. Here behoped to make his home, as he haddefinitely decided to become an Amer-ican citizen. Soon after this landtransaction he became tbe partnerof a French gentleman named Savaryde Valcoulou, and together, theyhnneht warrants for 120,000 acres ofVirginia -land between tbe Great andLittle Knnawha rivers.

Gallntln was to have the manage-ment of this land, and in 1784 he seout to look It over. He found thecountry north of the Virginia linemore desirable, and finally located InFayette county, Pennsylvania, where

he built himself a log house and alsohail a store. • ' :

It was here he first met GeneralWashington. The story of this meet-Ing, as narrated by Gallutln. is givenIn a paper for the New rork His-torical society, written by WilliamBeach Lawrence. Gnllntln "had a cot-bed In the oftice of the surveyor ofthe district when Washington, whohad lands In the neighborhood, andwas desirous of effecting communica-tion between the rivers, came there. t

"Mr. Gallatln's bed wns Riven up tohim—Gnllatln lying on .the floor. Im-mediately below the .table at whichWashington wns writing. Washingtonwas endeavoring to reduce to pnj>erthe calculations of the day. Gallatln.hearing the statement, came at onceto the conclusion, and, after waltlnesome time, he himself gave the an-swer* which drew from Washingtonsuch a look ns he never experiencedbefore or since. On arriving at hisconclusion. Washington turned to Gnl-lntln and said. 'You are right, youngman.'"

Of this Incident John Austin Ste-vens, who wrote the biography of. Gal-latln In the "American Statesman"series, published by Houghton Mlfflincompany, says: • . .

'""he look which Washington Is saidto have given Mr. C.allatln has Itscounterpart In that with which he Isalso said to have turned upon Gouver-neur Morris, when accosted ,hy himfamiliarly, with a touch on the shoul-der."

After the Incident at the log cabinon tbe Pennsylvania frontier, Wash-ington Is said to have tried to securethe services of Gallatln as his landagent; but the later declined the offer.

Gallatln scion rose to prominence Inhis adopted state.'. He was a memberof the Pennsylvania assembly conven-tion; he was a member of the legis-lature; was elected United Statessenator, bat could not qualify, be-cause he had not been long enougha citizen of the country. For thirteenyears be hod then' been In America,and declared his Intention- to be acitizen three years afterward. It labelieved that he was unseated on ac-count of having been too Inquisitiveregarding the manner In which thefinances of the nation were being ad-ministered.

It proved fortunate for the. countryat large that Gallatln was In Fayettecounty, and not In the senate, for It'was largely through his Influence thatthe whisky Insurrection did not re-sult in war, through the secession ofseveral counties In western Pennsyl-vania and Virginia. The people werenot only ready to fight, but had a flogof their own ready to float from theirliberty pole. Onllntln's good sense andmanagement saved the day for lawand order.

Be has been' criticised for living on

the frontier Instead of In the cities.He liked the life there where con-vention did not rule, and there waagreater equality. As he expressed it,"From the suburbs of Philadelphia tothe banks of the Ohio I do not know asingle family that lias an extensive In-fluence. An equal distribution of prop-erty hus rendered every Individual In-dependent, and there Is among us trueand real equality. In h word, as I amlazy, I like a country where living Ischeap; and as I am poor. I like acountry where no person Is very rich.'

In 1801 he became secretary of thetreasury In Jefferson's cabinet andheld the office for twelve years. Dur-ing this time he miide the work ofhis department Intelligible through thobudget system, and some assert thatas a financial genius he ranks withHamilton. Gnllatln did not care forthe position, as he would hnve pre-ferred to study law and practice ItIn New York city or In Philadelphia;hut when nppolnted secretary, he feltIt his duty to accept, although hefeared lie was not equal to"the task.

On leaving the ciiblnet, Gnllatlnserved his adopted country quite aseffectively as a diplomat Accordingto Henry Adams, "Far more than con-temporaries ever supposed, or thanIs now Imagined, the Treaty of Ghentwas the special work and the peculiartriumph of Mr. Gallailn." His shrewd-ness and tact won the dny, where an-other man, differently endowed mighthaye failed. Following his successfuland adroit diplomacy In bringingabout the Treaty of Ghent. Insuringpeace between England and. America.Mr. Gallatln was sent as minister toFrance, nnd later to England.

The mission to England ended Gal-latin's official life, hnt not his Intel-lectual activity. Retiring to NewYork, he spent the last years of hislife In pursuing his favorite study ofethnology, and promoting education.In this manner, he usefully roundedout his eighty-eight years, dying In1840.

The historian Henry Adams. granJ-son of John Qulncy Adams and great-grandson of John Adams, In his "Lifeof Gnllotin" snys thnt. as secretary ofthe treasury during the eight years ofJefferson's Presidency, and for fouryears while Mndison wns President.Gnllatln deserves equal recognitionwith Hamilton as the founder of ourfinancial system.

Hamilton's theory was that; the fi-nancial policy of the country shouldoriginate with the secretary of thetreasury, and that congress shouldacquiesce in registering his will. Al-bert Gallatln. while 3 member of con-gress. organized the ways and meanscommittee for the purpose of holdingthe secretary of the treasury In check.New York recognized (he high positionwon by Gnllatln hy giving his nametoone of Its great blinking Institutions.

WHATDR.CALDWELLLEARNED IN 47

YEARS PRACTICEA physician watehed the results of

constipation for 47 years, and behevedthat no matter how careful people are oftheir health, diet snd exercise, constipa-tion will occur .from time to tune. Ofnext importance, then, is how to treatit when it cornea. Dr. Cmldwell alwayswas in favor of getting aa close to natureas possible, hence his remedy for consti-pation, known as Dr. Caldwell's SyrnpPepsin, ii a. mild vegetable compound.It can not harm the system and ia nothabit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and youngsters love it.

DrCaldwell did not approve oldrastic physics and purges. He did notbelieve they were good for anybody'ssystem. In a practice of 47 years henever saw any reason for their use whenSyrup Pepsin will empty the bowela justas promptlv.

Hailed as FirstMilitary Genius

Historians seem to have acknowledgedflint nothing new fan he said on Wash-

ington's character,statesmanship orpatriotism. Noth-ing old can be saidon these subjectswith much chnm«of being betterphrased than i'y-ron's I m m o r t a lsummary of him:

The tlrat. the last, the h<-st.The Cincinnati]:* of the West,Whom envy dared not hate: ,

or Klpllns's more detailed present-ment In "If." But In sjtite of all thathas been written on the man, fewstudents have taken Washington's Hillmeasure as a soldier, and h-wer stillrealize liow far he prefigured the sci-entific and Industrial age in which wenri- living today. • -.]

Tiie average person thinks of a great'Vi'iicral as onoVho commands a greatsiniiy. It would bn .possible to getfarther from'the truth than that, hutt:nt -without piolor-'il <-.7'irt. Thereis a point at which the mere size ofsin army taxes the genius of Its com-riiindcr;' hut that point was not'reached-until the Twentieth century.Judged by the real test, that of.achievement In proportion to uH-ansnnM obstacles, Wnshlnt'ton Is one ofthe four or five greatest commandersproduced by the English-speakingrace; probably the greatest ,

Greatly Handicapped.Consider his difficulties. '~o

with, he was serving a revolutionary Icommittee, not a real government: jand was not backed by auy of' the 'governmental powers which supported |European commanders. The congress |of that day could not levy taxes, couldnot enforce conscription, could not payits men or provide supplies. The menwere enlisted for varying terms, al-most always for short terms. The offi-cers had little training. The differentcolonies were unaccustomed to act to-gether. There was only the beginningof a national feeling and nationalconsciousness, and the British, what-ever their weaknesses, bad splendidlydisciplined troops and held the sea.

Yet In the face of obstacles likethese, Washington kept an army to-gether and made headway against theenemy until he could deal the finish-Ing blow at Yorktown. The skillwith which he nailed Clinton to NewYork while the Continental army wasmaking Its 400-mile march to catcbCornwallls at. Yorktows Is fully equalto that by which Napoleon caughtGeneral Mack asleep at. Dim. .

No Errors Mar Record.On one point of military genius, In-

deed, Washington Is superior even tothe Corsican Caesar, who In all thingselse ranks at the head of the martialworld. No man can put his fingerson any point In Washington's cam-paigns and say: "Here this man madea serious mistake." The soundness of 'his judgment was almost uncanny.

Perhaps this judgment was due Insame measure to the scientific qualityof his mind. Bis approach to science

was more practical than that Ofrr;in!;lin, but equally zealous. Wash-ington conducted experiment after ex-periment in drainage, crop rotation,dliiorent methods of fertilizing. Hisnotes on tl.weimntters are worthy ofattention from uiirlculturul collegestoiiay. He berated Virginia's depend-ir.ee on tolmcco as bitterly nt>, morethan a century later', statesmen lashedtho depeinhnce of the Gulf states oncotton.

Always seeking better and moreeconomical methods of production, al-ways trying to utilize by-products, al-ways ready for a "flyer" In land, whichwas the Eighteenth century substitutefor Industrial promotion, Washington

"was Rtartllngly modern In many as-pects of his mind. Where this mod-ernism falls. It might pay us to eetcloser to the Washlnstonla.il viewpointeven at the cost of belnfe somewhatold fashioned. *.

Ctorge Washington, who to wtUknown to be first In wmr, first la pcaci,nuy also be described a* first In theranks of American road builders. Inhis trips to the frontier he not only,surveyed the courses, later to be fol-lowed by raids, but he actually cut hisway through the forested hills andmountains to western Virginia andPennsylvania.

Washington as a MasonGoorse Washington joined Freder-

'Ickshnre lodse. No. 4, Frederlcksburg,Va., In 1T02. Dual or plural member-ship was common In old lodges at thattime na It Is today In some Britishlodges. Washington was also a mem-ber of Alexandria lodse'No. 80. whichwas chartered by the Grand lodge ofPennsylvania' but transferred to thejurisdiction of Virginia In 17SS. GeorgeWashington Is named as the first wor-shipful master of this lodge underthe new charter.

Project That FailedGeorge Washington, In his will, cre-

ated a fund to establish a university.Shares of the James River and Po-tomac River Canal company, with a'par value of upward of $200,000, hadbeen bestowed upon him by the legis-lature of Virginia, to be held for pub.lie uses, and this sum, he belleved,-would form a beginning for a nationaluniversity In the national capital. Hiswish has not been fulfilled, however,as the securities set aside for thepurpose greatly depreciated In value.

Ranks With NoblestThoroughly human, absolutely fear-

less, conqueror of himself, we mayput George Washington's record un-der the microscope of criticism andyet say, with the English historian:"No nobler figure ever stood in theforefront of a nation's history."

By World's Latest Radio ServiceHarvey S. Firestone, Jr., Sends First Message

From Liberia To Rubber Company's OwnStation In Akron—Daily Reports On

Rubber Growth To Follow

Mr. and lira. Harvey S. Fire*•tone, Junior, now in the AfricanJungles, today broadcasted the firstmessage sent from the special ra-dio station recently erected on theFirestone' rubber plantation in theinterior of Liberia, .on the WestCoast of Africa. The messagewas received at a similar stationon the roof of the Firestone fac-tories at Akron, Ohio.

This marks a new era of com-munication with the interior of in-accessible countries. Heretofore,the method used was to send footmessengers through jungle trails,taking days to get in touch withthe outside world. Broadcastingby radio direct from one continentto another thus gives the FirestoneTire & Rubber Co. a great advan-tage in developing its million acresof rubber lands that were securedfrom the Liberian government.Although these properties are lo-cated over 5,000 miles from theFirestone headquarters at Akron,Ohio, it will now be possible tosend reports every day by radiofrom the Liberian plantations toAkron.

100,000 Acres Laid OutMr. Firestone, Jr., has been in

Liberia since early January. Inhis first report by radio today, hesaid that the Liberian governmentofficials were enthusiastically co-operating with Firestone in thecompany's great undertaking tomake Liberia one of the importantrubber-growing countries of theworld. Mr. Firestone said thatduring the first year two, 50,000-acre plantations had been, laid out,one on the Du river and the other150 miles south of the Du on theCavalla river.

Firestone engineers in the sametime had constructed over 75 milesof roads and had built and estab-lished headquarters on the twoplantations, with housing facilitiesfor the resident staffs of 118Americans. Power plants for thedevelopment of electric power,light and refrigeration had beenbuilt, as well as hospitals andtrade stores for the benefit of theAmericans and also to supply theneeds of the 15,000 natives whoare employed in clearing the jun-gles and planting rubber trees.

1,500,000 Trees PlantedDuring the past year, according

to Mr. Firestone's first radio re-port, over 1,500,000 rubber treeshave been planted on a total ofover 15,000 acres of cleared junglelands. This is a record in rubberplantation work.

gineers, soil experts and foresters.Now that the Liberians, for the

first time in the history of thecountry, have a system of goodroads, they are suddenly becomingenthusiastic about motor trans-portation, and they all want toride in automobiles, trucks ortractors. As a result, Monrovia,the capital of Liberia, has estab-lished a traffic squad to police thetraffic on its principal streets.When the Firestone company wentinto Liberia, there were no roadsin the country, and only one auto-mobile. This was owned by thePresident of Liberia, who had verylittle occasion to use it because ofthe absence of good roads.

When Mr. Firestone arrived atthe Du river plantation, he wasgreeted as the "Great WhiteChief by many thousands of Fire-stone native employees who had4

erected a great arch of leaves andferns at the entrance of the prop-erty and lined the road on bothsides as he drove through elevenmiles of the plantation to head-quarters.

$5,000,000 Loan to LiberiaMr. Harvey S. Firestone, Sr.,

has successfully arranged a$5,000,000 loan in America for theLiberian government. This placesLiberia on a firm financial basis,and permits the development oxroads, schools and public buildings.The 118 Americans comprising theFirestone technical staff are help-ing to organize the 2,000,000 ormore native Liberians and givethem remunerative employmentwhich had not been hitherto avail-able in their own country. The na-tives are proving very adaptableand willing1 to work in an organ-ized way. This has made possiblethe clearing and planting of sucha large acreage during the pastyear and has undoubtedly had avery appreciable effect in the re-cent reduction in the price ofcrude rubber.

European newspapers have car-ried many articles deriding Fire-stone for going into Africa toplant rubber. They claimed thesoil was poor for rubber growingand that the natives would notwork. The British government

a folly. It is conceded by every-body that Firestone has made thegreatest rubfeer development everaccomplished b;- any single com-pany in the same length of time.Liberia confronts the British andDutch rubber growers as an_ in-creasingly important competitor.And now the British Parliament isseriously considering the questionof abandoning or at least modify-ing the nihhor rpqtr'ct'nn policy.

The British colonies in the Mid-!die East have vigorously expressedthemselves along this line. Cey-lon has voted to abandon rubberrestriction entirely. In Singapore,Straits Settlements, 47 out of 72rubber growers have voted toabandon rubber restriction or tomodify it so it would not be ef-fective.

When Premier Baldwin broughtup the question of modifying rub-

EDITING AS A PROFESSION

Running a country newspaper is abusiness and a profession, a scienceand a calling. Its successful opera-tion requires no less exacting applica-tion of correct business practices thandoes the operation of the bank orother big business in the same town.But that atone is not enough. It mustcombine ideals with industry; and soulwith mind. It requires a love for thework—a "calling"., I" probably halfthe towns and cities of the state theeditor of the local paper could oper-ate successfully the biggest businessof the town. Often the man whoheads that business would.be a flopas an editor. For mere, business

Deductive bids aredifficult, but every good playerbe on the alert for such opportunitiesand take advantage of them. Here is ahand that shows the necessity for beingon the dart:

: Y :: A B :: Z :

Hearts—K, 0 ,8 ,3Cubs—Q, 10Diamonds — Q, 10,9, 7,5,3Spades—J

No r-xm, rubber game. Z dealt andpass* d. A bid one spade, Y passed andB bill two clubs. Z now bid two dia-monds, A bid two spades. Y bid threediamonds and B passed. What shouldZ do? Should he try for game at dia-mom's or should he bid three heartsand try for game in that suit?

Grme at diamonds looks hopelessbecause Y Z would lose three, probablyfour 'ricks. On the other hand, it takesone i :s8 trick for game at hearts thanat riamomis; therefore game mighteasil / be possible at hearts and not atdiarronds. Also if Z does bid threehear, s and is doubled, he can veryeasily bid four diamonds. In otherwords, a three heart bid offers a betterchance for game than diamonds andwithout any great danger.

After analyzing these facts, Z bidthree hearts. A Did three spades, Ybid four hearts and all passed. In theactual play of this hand Y Z just madefour hearts and thereby scored a gameand rubber not possible at diamonds,at which bid they would also havescored four odd. Y's hand was as follows:

Hearts-A, 6,4,2Clubs—6Diamonds—A, 8,4Spades—A, 7,6/5,2

Be on the lookout for hands) of thistype and don't hesitate to take achance, e m with a four-card suit, ifthe bid betttrs your chance for gameand oners no nital danger of a heavypenalty.

Should you bid the longer of twosuits, irrespective of their suit value,each a justifiable original bid, or thouldyou bid the suit of higher value first,even though it be the shorter suit?That question still bothers many playersand is the subject of much argument.For example, consider the followinghand:

Hearts —A, J. 10,0Clubs —K, 10,9,5,3Diamonds — A, Q, 9, 5Spades •— none

Noscore.rubber game. What should thedealer bid? The proper bid is one club.Then if overbid, show the diamonds,and partner has an accurate picture ofyour hand. He knows that you have ahye-card club suit and a four-carddiamond suit: otherwise, had the suitsbeen of equal length, you would havepreferred diamonds to dulw. On. theother hand,.if you first bid diamondsand then bid the clubs, your partnerhas no way of determining which suityou'prefer. All he can do is to guess.As guesses are more often wrong thanright, it is much safer to tell partner atonce which suit you prefer for trumpsby always bidding your longest suit onthe first round.

Here is an end play that, was givenas a problem in the preceding article:

Hearts — K, 6, 4, 2Clubs — noneDiamonds — J, 10Spades — 9,8

Answer to Problem No. 16Hearts —Q, 8,7,5Clubs —A, K.QDiamonds — 4Spades — none

: AYZ

B :

Hearts —J, 3Clubs —10,9,3,2Diamonds — 5Spades—3

Hearts—A, 10,9Clubs —8,5Diamonds — 6Spades — K, 5

There are no trumps and Z is in thelead. How can Y Z win six of the eighttricks against any defense? .

Solution: Z should lead a dub, win-ning the trick in Y's hand with thequeen. On this trick A should discardthe deuce of hearts. Y should now leadthe ace and king of clubs. B followssuit and Z is forced to make one dis-card, the nine of hearts. A mutt maketwo discards. One of these should be

. the four of hearts and the other mustbe the ten of diamonds. He cannotdiscard a spade or another heart orY Z's spades and hearts will be good.

At the fourth trick, Y should leadthe four of diamonds, forcing A in thelead with the jack. A cannot lead aheart or Y Z can win two heart tricks.A is forced, therefore, to lead a spade.Z wins this trick with the king andreturns the five of spades, again forcingA in the lead. A now has left only theking and six of hearts, so no matterhow he bads them, Y Z must win thebalance of the tricks.

This problem is an easy one but'r that you should

No score, rubber game. Z bid one dhvmond, A passed, Y bid one apade andB passed. Z now bid two no trump. Apasted, Y bid three no trump and Bpasted. How should Z and Y bid theirhands from now on so that they canarrive at a little slam by sound bidding?

Solution: Z should now bid fourhearts, to show his partner that he cantake care of the first round of hearts,at least A will pass and Y should now.bid five diamonds to show his partnerthat he holds the top diamonds. If Bpasses, Z is now in the happy positionof being able to bid six dubs), to showthe club trick, and when A passes, Yshould bid six no trumps. Y Z caneasily make this bid; in fact a grandsura if A opens clubs.
