It was this same speculative na- ture that cahged the Imperial Col- lege of science to try out radio farm- ing with results that Prof. Black- man describes as remarkable. The plants responded to the treatment with such a vim, that the small tract. of wheat produced nearly per cent more grain than did a sim- ilar tract untreated to the radio stimulus. ‘In our experiments,” Prof. Black- man explained, “we restricted the work to a small plot of ground. About four feet apart we stretched insulated wires carrying high vol- tage currents, sometimes as high as 100,000 volts. As a result of the radio application, we had very sub- stantially increased yields of grain.” his method of farming, the pro- said, is far too expensive to A ciation) be practical, but if the same reju- Radio has| Yehating effects can be caused on 5 vegetable life |bumans, radio application would be giatireag Nb O57 worth the cost, which would be aire eaa te heenenaiatel ae more restricted than that Spit Lena to ¢ ize a whole grain enating human: Tales of radio farming, brought to the University by Prof. W.

Che Casper Sunday Cribun DEATH RIDES ON SWIFT WINGS AS TOCSINS SOUND OPENING OF TONG WAR INN. Y. CHINATOWN By ROBERT T. SMALL. Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune. NEWYORK, Oct. 14.—Furtive- eyed Chinese, arms folded “in their wide flowing sleeves, slip from place to place in the shadows of old Chinatown, fearful that, at any turn of the winding, crooked \streets, an assassins bulet will lay them low. The tocsing of the “tong war” have been sounded and another of those mysterious feuds which sweep Chin- ese settlements the country over is on. Just how the wars begin none but the Orientals ever know. «The heathen Chinee is peculia He has his own axes to grind. But thus far the war is being fought at what might be called long range. It is with pistols. Later, if it follows the usual cycles, it will come to closer quarters, with hatchets. The police dread the hatchet stage. Always the murderer leaves his hi chet in the crushed skull of his vie- tm. The war then becomes silent and death rides on swift wings. Dur- ing the gun shooting period, it is easier to control. The danger then is usually to the bystanders. It is evident just now that this latest war in the metropolitan dis- trict, holding New York, Brooklyn and Newark, N. J., in tts grip, is being fought out by the professional gunmen of the famous tongs, the Hip Sings and the On Leongs. These professional slant-eyes shoot straight, When the war spreads to the amateur gunmen, then there is dan indeed, for the amateur Cinese pistol fighter usually closes his almond orbs before he pulls the trigger. Anything may happen then. Today, Chinatown, with its tortu- ous Mott and Pell and Doyers streets, is a No-Man's land. © It is patrolled by the police, singly and in pairs. Plain clothesmen lurk around each corner. It seems there is a bluecoat about every 25 feet, The district is blockaded. The gay sightseeing cars, of the: metropolis, with their vari-colored Ughts and Japanese lanterns; are deserted rt the street corners. No one wants to go to Chinatown these wondrous moonlit nights. ‘The trick joss houses and the fake “opium dens” maintained for the benefit of the wide-eyed country folk from the great American hin ed opjum_has been found. The regu- terland are crying in vain for cus- tomers. The Chinese merchants who reap a harvest of greenbacks from the sightseers are in an agony of despair that their unworthy countrymen should start a war just at this season when the tourist trade was at its height. The warring members of the tongs have threatened to take the fight beyond the borders of China- town. Already one Chinaman has been found dead away over in the Jersey meadows. This threat to take the war “up town” has thrown the Oriental restaurant keepers into a frenzy of fear. The Chinese res- taurant has become a widespread‘in- stitution in New York. Some of the establishments .represent. in- dollars, The latest of the super- restaurants has just been opened in the building which was once the far- famed Palais Royal, where Paul Whiteman made his first great hit in New York. The Chinese prpprie- tors call the place the Palace of Gold, Already the police have been call- ed upon to guard some of the res- taurants. The proprietors in Brook- Iyn seem to be especially fearful. Frantic efforts are being made by the Chinese merchants and the vari- ous “benevolent - associations to bring about a truce in the fighting, but it is admitted that peace is not in sight. The merchdnts see ruin staring them in the face. They say they are at a loss to explain -the lates outbreak, asserting the trouble started among the .“bad men" of the two tongs or secret so- cleties, They also say that “bad Chinamen” are Uke “bad white men” who carry on fights in,the Bowery and catch their victims on the big East Side. New York maintains especially trained police force for the Chinese districts. To the untrained eye, all Chinamen look more or less alike. But to the bluecoats and the plain clothesmen who live among the Orientals, there is a vast difference. The police seldom try to figure out the causes of the Chinese wars. They say the present outbreak may have something to do with the re- volution in China, but it is more likely a quarrel arising out of the illicit traffic in opium. On one or two of the victims thus far, powder- lar Chinatown police have been augthented by members of the bomb squad, the narcotic division, the special service prohibition squad, the radical squad and Other picked men of the force. Their effort at the moment Is to keep the war from spreading. Many Chinamen living up town and conducting restaurants there have been caught in the Chinatown blockade and are afraid to leave. Always a place of- shadows and mystery, Chinatown tooday wears an impenetrable veil. The China- man never picks a quarrel or fights with a white man. He prefers to annihilate his own kind. FATALITIES ON HIGHWAYS OF U.5. SHOW GAIN WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—High- way fatalities in the United States are estimated by the census bureau at 22,621 for 1923 ocan increase of 3,418 over the previous year. The 1923 death rate from highway accidents was 20.4 per 100,000 popu- Jation as contrasted with 17.6 in 1922. This increase was largely due to the increase of 2,776 deaths in the estimated number of fatalities from automobile accidents. But even the 16,452 deaths charg- ed against the automobile do not tell the whole story, as deaths re- sulting from — oollisions automobiles and railroads trains and between automobiles and streets cars are charged to the heavier ve- hicle. Twe thousand fatalities from such collisions in 1923 is a conser- vative estimate for the United States, the bureau said. If this figure and the fatalities from mo- toreycle accidents be added to the figure for automobile accidents, the final 1923 toll from motor machines on highways becomes 18,788 or 83 per cent of all highway fatalities. The highway fatalities are cati- mated as follows: Train grade crossing accidents, 2,268; street car accidents, 2,006; automobile accidents, 16,452; motor accidents or motor cycle accidents, 336; and injuries by other vehicles, 1,559. — LEOPOLD AND LOEB ARE SUED CHICAGO, Oct, 15.—A sult for $100,000 damages for mutilation ai- leged to have been incurred at the hands of Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, was filed in circuit court by Charles Ream, a taxicab driver. Ream was attacked by two men last November 21, blindfolded, drug- ged and mutilated: After tho ar- rest of Loeb and Leopold now»serv- ing fife terms in prison for the mur- der of Robert Franks, Ream \jis claimed to have identified the two rich men’s sons as his assailants, between, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1924. made new thoughts and created hew interests.

He did not come from political motives. He came to bring the gospel to the people, “Our government rests upon religs ion. It is from that source that we derive our reverence for truth and justice, for equality and liberty, and for the right of mankind, Unless the people believe in these principles, they cannot believe in our govern- ment. There are only two main the- orles of government in the world. One rests on righteousness, the oth- er on force. One appeals to reason, the other appeals to the sword. One is exemplified ina republic, the other is represented by despotism. The his- tory of government on tht earth has been almost entirely a history of the rule of force in the hands of a few.
