Just now, with cold weather prevailing so much in a large tion of the United States, threatening the 1924 corn crop, great stress is being ced in many quarters upon the continued development of “cold weather corn.” fhe corn belt has been moved gradually north from Mexico, through scores of years of careful cultivation by Indi pioneer farmers and scienti Encouraged by the succes t, scien ned in the 7 now would carry the development of “cold weather corn” furtk i Corn breeding exper t Cornell Un sity are work- ing on “cold weather corn et have found that corn will grow and re at an altitude of 12,000 feet with an aver- age tem ture of not above 55 degrees throughout the growin mn. Corn in the tropics will mature at an alti- tude of 12.500 feet when the nearness of the equator offsets to some extent the high altitude, while in Colorado even 11,000 feet means perpetual snow, scientists claim. Trop- ical corn growing at that altitude has a maximum height of six feet, but is rank, green, and healthy in every respect. | according to men at the Ithaca station. speriments are being carried on through crossing ns of corn, with the hope of further developing a qu ituring and cold resistent corn. Great possibili- ties for the extension of agricultural life in the northern hemisphere are seen in a successful conclusion of the experi- ments. . THE LOVE OF THE “KID” “Kid McCoy” loves and always has loved his mother, we are told. She says he is and always has been “a good boy” to her. At 2 o'clock of the morning, after the crime of which he is accused had taken place, he went to his mother’s | home to tell her that he loved her. Now he is in jail and i to face with a charge that may cause his death at the hands of the “Kid McCoy” no doubt loved his mother as a little child] She was good to turn to for solace and sympathy and when weariness came and hurts and troubles. But ” does not and never has loved his mother as ynition contemplates. Never has his life fluenced by that love. “Honor thy father was not laid down as a rule of conduct for It does not mean simply a caress, a tender ‘word, a} bit of devotion, a gesture of loyalty. Love, big and abiding and controlling, is its perfect definition. It means that man shall so live and so conduct himself as to reflect honor upon himself not alone but upon her who went down into the val- ley of the shadow to bring him back, a helpless babe. Men who give such a love as this expression in their daily walks and living do not know free and easy morals—do_ not find themselves confronting the gallows, “Kid McCoy” does today and as other men have done before him. Filial affection cannot consort with crime. | | Over three and a half times as many rifles were manu- factured in our country last year as in 1921. This isn’t alarming, for crooks cannot easily tote rifles without, being detected. But the increasing sale of pistols is dangerous — about four million dollars worth last year. We'll never get crime any way neezr control until the sale of “gats” is curbed, espe- cially by mail order. Life imprisonment for owning or carry- ing a concealed or concealable weapon, with no _mush- hearted paroles, would prevent a lot of murders. Disarm the criminals. HERCUL! Chicago needs and takes so much water that the Great Lakes are being lowered to a level dangerous to the ship- ping prosperity of other port: Cities are wrangling about it. Montreal’s consulting engineer is enthused about the proposal to dam Canadian rivers so as to move a watershed that drains 20,000 square miles. The water would be shifted to flow into the Great Lakes through Lake Superior, at the rate of 20,000 cubic feet a second. Hercules was a weakling. Just ponder this engineering job, showing what is possible by the pooling of men’s power PANAMA In a year 5648 ocean-going ships passed through the Panama Canal, says official report. Without the canal, they’d have had to make the long trip around the southern- most tip of South America. Uncle Sam has been collecting almost 25 million dollars a year in tolls from these ships. Our national investment jn the canal is paying around 4 per cent interest. Originally there was no hope of much profit, for the canal is primarily for increased navy efficiency. Becoming.more valuable for enabling ships to keep railroads on their toes, by competition. ABREAST z Are you getting $1.62 for every $1 you were paid in wages or salary before the war? If not, your income hasn’t kept pace. with cost of living. In England, where wage-earners are powerfully organ-j ized, wages rise or fall with living costs. It’s the fair, scien- , © ‘tific way. Inevitably we’ll come to it in time. f + RUSSIA Russia claims that her foreign trade in six months totaled nearly 263 million gold rubles. i This compares very favorably with 120 million gold }ubles in the corresponding six months a year ago. But it’s only.a fifth of the pre-war average. i Rh ie ee eS Crossing the street is safer than double-crossing a friend, | nuried under the cent jiness, ‘She ee pee) people and meadow people lik 1 | so well they'll come right away to|} A Thought i get new clothes.” (C= oar ee en “There!

Over in Italy a convicted murderer was sentenced ‘to life imgrisonment in 1883. He served 36 years of his itime and escaped. Smugglers brought him into America. So runs the police claim. He contends he was pardoned by ithe king. | Three years ago he started a small grocery store in Buf- lfalo. On arresting him recently for deportation, police made |this peculiar discovery: Under his store, in the cellar, he had duplicated his Italian prison cell—a small room with one | barred window where he slept at night on a hard cot. Elec- | tricity was available, but he denied himself the use of any- |thing except a small kerosene lamp. This was his only bed- -;room comfort. | From this strange case we learn much about the power ‘of habit. A man after spending 36 years in a prison cell, jis “lost anywhere else. The cell, however miserable, be- !comes home to him. Occasionally there are similar cases in the news—where | men, released after long prison terms, beg to be sent back to ‘their cells, or commit crimes to get back. | What is home? It is a gilded palace, if you live there. It is the most wretched hovel on earth, if you live there. Another way of looking at this Italian’s case would be to assume that he was not, as he claimed, pardoned from | prison. In which event this subjection of himself to a per- | sonally-created prison at night might be viewed as one way {of punishing himself. He escaped from involuntary imprisonment and incar- cerated himself half of the time in voluntary imprisonment. In other words, he carried his prison with him. Is that not so with most law-breakers? The man wanted by the police may escape arrest? But he is forever surrounded by the stone walls and steel bars of imagination. Memory is constantly punishing him for \his'crime, if he has conscience. If he has none, he still is in the worst penitentiary of all—the Prison of Fear. In democracy we talk a lot about freedom. By which we mean chiefly political and religious freedom. But genuine freedom is enjoyed only by the man or woman with a clear ‘conscience.’ A mysterious force is conscience. So also is fear. Both are ways of wise nature, to make us punish our- selves for our transgressions. There is no escape from the remorse or fear of the haunt- ed and hunted man. 3.—Schoolboys | punch behind it, but that the same game| Wrist may help to interpret the works of great masters and retain ‘its strength—that is a matter for v were forced tO) goubt. “Music just isn’t considered a virile | occupation for a college man in this New York, Sept. who missed many a baseball and trip to the ol’ swimmin’ hole in) practice music lessons, are reaping rich harvest house with a small bottle of water country.” marked “Poison.” When I saw him who have a bent for Peeciads in the doorway, I gasped out od- | musie are bullied and teased by other!
