Profit From Weeds Two weeds, one a native and one a Russian plant which may develop in- to a profitable crop for some areas of this country, are regarded by chemists as possible sources of insect poisons which may in time take the place of some of the pyrethrum flow- ers of which we now import about 10,000,000 pounds a year.

Langer told his audience at New Rockford recently that, if elected governor, he would reduce ap- propriations by at least $1,000,000. A Jot of money. A definite promise and one at which the average farmer voter as well as the city fellow will throw up his hat and cheer. What is the solemn pledge on the part of candidates that they will reduce the cost of government to the voters who, after all, are taxpayers, directly or in- directly. It is not as easy @ task as some think. In some states there are as many tax eaters as there are tax payers. Candidates don't want to cut payrolls for that means cutting down the vote-garnering machine. In North Dakota, however, the tax- payers outnumber the taxeaters sev- eral to one and most effectively by ballot can they elect men in every political sub-division pledged to lower governmental costs. Langer has made a very definite pledge. As governor a man can, through the pressure of veto | power and other weapons, keep appropria- tions down and payrolls commensurate with necessary public service. If Langer means what he said at New Rockford and the League political or- ganization runs its campaign along the line of tax reduction, real and substantial such as Langer promised at New Rockford, it is going to win support to its banners. State expenditures have been soar- ing since the Hanna administration. Both League and I. V. A. factions hhave been responsible for the in- crease. The increase in state gov- ernmental costs have been out of line ‘with population increases. Voters have, in the past, insisted on govern- mental service de luxe. They find now that incomes have been curtailed nd they cannot afford the kind of government they have been having, ‘much of which has been useless and extravagant. If elected governor, Langer can cut state expenses by a million if he will, The opportunity is ‘there. Of course, Frank Hyland and other candidates may make similar promises but even if this should happen the ‘Hyland candidacy will labor under an obvious handicap in this respect. It may be unjust to him but he can hardly escape the necessity of sup- porting the record made by the pres- ent administration. And it is hardly noteworthy from the tax-reduction \standpoint. When the legislature met, the need ,for economy was apparent and farm- ers and business men already were \erying for relief. They got nothing. Instead, new commissions to create new jobs and roll up new expense ac- ‘counts were created. Later, when it became apparent that revolt was in the air, economies were instituted and the board of admin- Texas and elsewhere, and has been observed to be practically as poi- sonous, to some insects, as derris and pyrethrum. Federal and state chem- ists and entomologists are studying the plant and are trying to devise methods for extracting its poisonous content in usable forms. The scientific name of the Russian weed is Anabasis aphylla. Chemists of the United States department of agriculture have confirmed the pres- ence in it of two very effective insect poisons, neonicotine and methyl ne- jonicotine, the former being the “ana- 'basine” reported by the Russian in- vestigators. The department is un- dertaking the introduction of this plant as a possible source of supply for insecticides which would help to make this country independent of foreign growers.

The Security of Nation Above Politics (New York World-Telegram.) There are encouraging signs of a break in the Washington political deadlock which has been intensifying the depression during the last fort- night. Following President Hoover's econ- omy appeal to congress a house com- mittee apparently has killed the cash bonus, and a senate committee has agreed on a tax bill expected, with economies, to balance the budget. The president's statement yester- day, a direct appeal to an impatient public, accurately described the back- ing and filling which is jeapordizing vitally necessary economies. “This is not a controversy between the president and congress or its members.” he said. “It is an issue against delays and destructive legis- lation which impair the credit of the United States. It is also an issue between the locust swarm of lobbyists who haunt the halls of congress seek- ing selfish privilege for special groups and sections of the country, mislead- ing members as to the real views of the people by showers of propa- ganda.” That statement should be kept on every desk in Washington, where it can be read daily by every senator and representative, by every cabinet officer and bureau chief, and by the President himself. Each of them has given in at one time or another to this lobby or that. There is not one budget cut that is not being opposed by some wire-pull- ers; not one tax increase that is not being opposed by some special in- terests. There is only one way to balance the budget now. All lobbyists must be ignored; compromises must be made by the administration, the Democrats and the Progressives on all conflicting economy and tax Plans.

LAADIEEES ANT | GENTUL-MEN/ THIS JAARVELOUS BOON TO MANKIND THIS ELIXIR, OF LIFE, IS GUARANTEED TO THAW YOUR FROZEN ASSETS, PREVENT HARDENING OF COMMERCIAL ARTERIES, AN’ WIRE DEPRESSION / HOME FOR THE HOMELESS ... New York, May 11.—Coney Island, stretching from its own winter's sleep, wonders what will be done this summer with the thousands of jobless expected to use its beach as an outdoor hostelry. Coney’s sands have long been a magnet for Manhattan’s wilting mil- lions fleeing the humidity and heat. But this year a vast overflow crowd is anticipated, what with the home- less hordes seeking beds with only a five-cent fare to consider. xe # For the first time in years Coney’s various gilt playgrounds will offer no’ lavish new attraction. Part of its famous midway is still a charred scar from a recent fire. The wax works was first to rebuild. And the out- standing display is, of course, a lurid interpretation of the Lindbergh baby theft. Dance halls, often overlooked by summer minded throngs, are expect- ing record crowds. General statistics indicate that a sensational increase in dance interest is sweeping the na- tion at the moment. * * # Add embarrassing moments: John S.

At a luncheon of the Circus Fans’ association, talk turned to the trend STICKERS plishment, rather than hair-splitting judgments on detail must be made the first consideration. Every one knows that the basic causes of this depression are eco- nomic rather than political. It is equally obvious that partisan politics, played by all three factions during the last few weeks, has greatly in- tensified the economic distress by creating uncertainties and delays in obviously necessary corrective legis- lation. The agencies of recovery must be freed. This cannot be achieved until all factions recognize the necessity of common compromise. This newspaper is not in the habit of talking compromise. It would not be talking compromise today if the nation were not in the worst crisis in its history. And in periods of extreme crisis, whether for the in- dividual or the nation, the time comes when action through compromise is imperative. There is much about the senate equal burden and dropping many of the other nuisance taxes; the brazen injection of high tariffs in a revenue bill; the uneven income tax rates and bit Regiy to ips beer. re are many things in it which the administration and which the Democratic leaders do not like es witness how different this bill <A man divided $560 between four sons.

And Bob Sherwood, oldest of the Barum clowns and retired to the life of a writer, recalled another tough era. Grover Cleveland was president. The circus was playing Washington.

One is the Circus Fans; the other, the Circus Saints and Sinners. The latter meets weekly at the Park Lane hotel where a special room is decorated with white top trimmings, printed back- grounds and lurid four-sheets and autographed photos of performers. The members are, for the most part, staid business men who have never brushed all the sawdust from their coats. At the scheduled gatherings they forget business affairs and talk circus lingo. Whenever possible, they have as guests of honor famed stars of the tent show. At a recent lunch gathering I found myself seated between Alfredo Codona, of flying trapeze fame, and Miss Tamara, daring high wire artiste.

The subject is being constantly agitated before congress because of legislation planned to provide increased appropriations for education and preventive medi- Cine applied to this cause of death. Just as long as any preventable deaths occur, the mortality rates may be considered excessive. There are, however, some factors which are hardly controllable. In a recent survey of this subject, Dr. Haven Emerson, professor of pub: lic health administration in Colum- bia university, points out some of the factors which are commonly disre- garded, but which nevertheless are of the greatest importance in cal- culating maternal death rates and in classifying them as preventable and those not preventable.

(Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.) gr TODAY 4 1S THE = HERR HUSHES PROPAGANDA On May 11, 1918, George Leygues, French minister of marines, made a statement in the chamber of deputies which denied Germany’s claim of tremendous losses to allied shipping. Leygues declared that the total al- lied tonnage sunk by German sub- marines in the preceding five months was 1,648,662, and not the amount claimed by Germans, which was re- leased as more than 3,000,000 tons. He said further that the number of submarines sunk by the allies was greater than Germany’s output. Italy, expecting a concerted move- ment from the Austrians along her front, decided on a push of her own, ‘and penetrated advanced Austrian po- sitions on Monte Carno. It is estimated that there are about 356,130 female students in colleges an‘ universities of the United States. Ying the death rates of infants. In some European countries the birth is not reported as a live birth unless the child lives until it is baptized. This may not be for several days. Obviously such calculation is not to be compared with one in which every child dying at birth is called a death or every child dying within the first week is called a dead birth. Expert statisticians have found that the race of the mother, her occupa- tion, her economic status, the age at which her first child is born, period elapsing between two births, and similar factors are of the greatest importance, Dr. Haven Emerson shows that the death rates of mothers in cities, for both white and colored, are 60 to 75 per cent higher from puerperal sepsis and about 35 per cent higher from all causes than are death rates of mothers in the country. If the age of the mother at the first childbirth is over 25 years and the average less than three children, she will run a greater danger of death in childvirth than when the first and other childbirths Crest at an earlier period in her life, c The tendency in modern times is for women to wait longer for mar- riage and for the birth of a first child than previously. Dr, Emerson says that in some of our modern states within the past five years one- third of all deaths of mothers in childbirth have occurred among the/rather elderly women who died with the first child. The most important print made in his analysis is the demonstration that it is impossible to compare the rates for the United States with those of other fgets erg J of the differ- ence in met of figures. Dr. Emerson is convinced that twee thirds of the deaths in childbirth are preventable. Toward such preven- tion every possible effort should applied.

The young man stared at her. She was all in brown today. Simple wool frock cut at the neck to show her creamy throat. Little, sensible brown oxfords. She waited for the words she felt certain were to fol- low. “I want to say again that I'm sorry for what happened that night. There—she had not dreamed it! She looked up at him, her eyes flashing and darkening with the emotion that possessed her. “It’s quite all right. It wasn’t your fault.” Tho stern lines of his face re- laxed. “I was a bit high, I know, but it’s no excuse.” She wanted to reach out and touch the rough fabric of his over- coat. What she did was to flick her lashes demurely downward and say nothing, “You ran away,” the boy accused her, “Why did you do that?” “I don’t know. It seemed a good idea at the time.” Susan smiled and the old friendliness was re established. Strange it was, thought Susan, that with some people the most foolish little phrases take on @ new and shining meaning. What- ever she said to Bob, or he to her, seemed fresh and curiously their own, “Look here, won't you—” ee wt he meant to say she was not destined to know because at that instant the rear door was flung open and Mr. Heath bustled in.

Susan to stifle her disappointment as she watched her employer lead Bob into his private office. She found it impossible to keep her mind on her work. She could hear the low murmur of the two voices and her whole being tingled with excite- ment. What was it Bob had start- ed to say? She prayed, “Dear God, give me another chance to talk to him!” ‘Her heart pounded, When Pierson returned from lunch she glanced up, scarcely see- ing him, He spoke to her twice ‘before she realized the remarks ‘were directed to her. “I sald you'd better go to the bank right away.

The voices in the private office still rose and fell. As Susan struggled into her coat she added another prayer to her litany, “Please let him stay until I come back. It's not much to ask.” You could not run on La Salle street. People would look at you and think you were mad. But how could one walk sedately and quiet- ly with a heart racing like a wild thing? How slow the teller was behind the bars! With what mad- dening deliberation he made the en- try. Usually Susan smiled at him and spoke about the weather. To- day she did neither. “Hurry, hurry!” Her footsteps kept time with the words. A traffic light delayed her at one corner. The policeman seemed maddeningly slow. It seemed ages before she found herself again in the elevator of the office building. Bob would be there still, He would be coming out of Mr, Heath's Toom as she took off her hat. They would have just a moment together but he would finish what he had started to say. Susan hesitated be- fore turning the knob, savoring the flavor of anticipation. Then she flung the door open, trying to re member just how she behaved on ordinary days, Quickly she went to the closet and hung away her coat. She would not look in the direction of Mr. Heath’s private office, It would all happen easily and naturally, She would be patient. As she crossed the room to give Pierson the bank book she was conscious of the ex: treme quiet of the place. She would as tye ie would not! lerson looked at her curiously. “The boss said to tell you he'd be back at four.” ‘ “He's gone?” Susan's voice sound- ed unreal to her, “Yes.
