ELDERLY JURORS IN DAISY DEBOB TRIAL STILL DELBERATING Seven Men. and Five Women Considering Case Against Clara Bow’s Secretary Los Angeles, Jan. 22—()—Bewild- cred by problems of impulsive youth, haphazard bookkeeping, and Holly- wood off-screen life, 12 elderly men and women Thursday resumed deli- beration on the fate of Daisy De Boe, charged with the theft of $15,300 from Clara Bow, film red-head. The seven: men and five women jur- ors, none of whom belong to Daisy’s or Clara’s generation, groped vainly for six and one-half hours Wednes- day, seeking to determine from a mass of complex testimony whether Daisy stole from the film red-head whom she formerly served as secre- tary-confidante. They showed their confusion by asking several times for additional instructions. Glimpses into the private life of the screen flapper and glances at canceled checks that told of the spending of more than $350,000 by the Bew household in less than two years, caught by the jurors as they heard the testimony, added to the problem of the jury. \ If convicted on all of the 35 counts of grand theft against her Daisy would facg a term of 35 to 350 years, should the one-to-10 year sentences on each count be made to run con- secutively. The blonde ex-secretary to the screen flapper waited in the court- room ‘with a large crowd of curious until the jurors retired. She retained the composure that has marked her «ppearance since the trial began. She expressed confidence that she would be acquitted. i Miss Bow did not appear Wednes- lay. NORMAL HARVESTING DATE IS IMPORTANT Tests Show Grain Loses Quality and Weight if Not Cut at Proper Time in Fargo, N. D., Jan. 22.—Barley and oats show greater losses in yield from standing beyond their normal har- vesting date than do wheat and flax, Dr. H. L. Walster, agronomist at the North Dakota Agricultural college, told the general session of the 32nd North Dakota Farmers and Home- makers Week this afternoon at the Agricultural college. These studies on the losses which take effect following the permitting of grain and flax to stand beyond their normal harvest date have been conducted for three years at four North Dakota experiment stations, Fargo, Langdon, Williston and Dick- inson, stated Dr. Walster. The plan of the experiment has been to har- vest at a normal date of harvest and ceduct the yields and test weights, and then to let an additional portion of the field to stand one, two and three weeks before harvesting. The order of loss for wheat stand- ing one week is from 0 to 3 per cent; two weeks, 7 to 10 per cent; and three weeks, 10 to 11 per cent. There was no important difference between the lesses suffered by the three wheat varieties, Mindum, Ceres and Marquis, Dr. Walster told the assembly of farmers. Oats that was left standing one week beyond the date of harvest suffered losses from 7 to 13 per cent; two weeks, 17 to 28 per cent; and three weeks, 23 to 36 per cent. It is apparent, pointed out Dr. Wal- ster, that rather greater Ss occur from late varieties of oats such as Victor and White Russian than from such early varieties as the Gopher. Manchuria barleyshowed a loss of 11 per cent when harvested one week late, 17 per cent at two weeks, and 31 per cent at three weeks late. Flax gave a loss of 4 per cent when har- vested one week late, 9 per cent at two weeks and 13 per cent when har- vested three weeks late. The influence of long time stand- ing on the test weight in the case of wet summers such as 1928 resulted in a distinct loss when the grain was left standing, and consequently a lowering of the grade. For example, Marquis wheat had a test weight of 61 pounds at normal date of harvest and a test weight of 60.9 pounds when allowed to stand one week; 57.7 pounds at two weeks, and 56.3 pounds test weight at three weeks. Oats and barley did not show ap- preciable losses in test weight as a result of standing in 1928. The 1928 test weight losses at Langdon substa- tion were not as great as for Fargo, and the losses at Dickinson substa- tion were large when allowed to stand three weeks and not significant at one and two weeks. Excessive standing also severely reduced the flax. test weights. Losses, in test. weight were not as serious in any years for all crops at Williston.

EINSTEIN GIVES KEY TO WORLD SECRETS German Professor Presents ‘Most Simple Theory’ to Physicist Class Pasadena, Calif., Jan. 22—(P)—A key to the innermost secrets of na- ture has been presented a class of distinguished physicists and mathe- maticians by Albert Einstein in the latest and greatest creature of his world-famed brain, the unified field theory. Theoretical physicists proclamed it as the most simple theory that will explain all the secrets of space and the universe. Mathematicians find it the most gigantic problem ever pre- sented them. It embraces and goes beyond the general theory of relativity, for it places electro-magnetism side by side ; with the propagation of light, gravi- tation, and quantum mechanics under one general law of unity. His face wreathed with smiies, the benign little German professor ex- plained Wednesday that he sought to write in the most simple complete equation one basic law explaining the universe and its properties. To his amazement, he said, when he had completed the theory, he found it contained the laws of his old gravita- tional theory combined in harmony with Maxwell's laws of electro-mag- netism. | Only a slight reduction in the win- |ter wheat acreage has been made.
