Dr. John Baer Stoudt of New York, director of the Huguenot-Walloon-New Netherland tercentenary commission, made an address. Pleading for an understanding_ of France by America and recalling her sufferings in defense of liberty in the war, Chaplain Lauga delivered an address. “I want, first, to say how deeply thankful are your brothers of France for the magnificent efforts of ,the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ_ in _ America, and specially of Rev. Dr. Charles S. Macfarland and Rev. Dr. John Baer Stoudt, who, with such a perseverance, have brought to light some of the most significant facts in the history of this country,” he_said. “Historical truth is a part of di- vine truth and it was not right that the Huguenot, as a Huguenot—a Frenchman—should have been for- gotten for 50 many decades. The American debt to the French Hugue- not is a great one and, because our friends of the Hugenot-Walloon- New Netherland tercentemary com- mission have striven to make things right at last, we Dbelieve that the blessing of our children and your eblidren will be forever upon them.” “Belgium will never cease ‘to be grateful,” said Rev. Mr. Hoyols, “for The co-operation of America in the world war and its relief work in that country.

DOGWOOD CAMPAIGN IN BALTIMORE | P. H. Ricker Addresses Wildflower | Preservation Society on Methods Employed in Capital. Stimulated by success of the cam- paign_here to preserve the dogwood, the Wildflower Preservation Society in Baltimore, which asked to hear de- tails of the movement. was addressed Saturday by P. H. Ricker of this city. The meeting was held in the beauti- ful home of Mrs. E. H. Bouton in Roland Park, Baltimore, and was largely attended by members of the society, who expressed much interest had been accomplished in ‘Washington. Mr. Ricker explained the outline, operation and success of the dogwood campaign in Washington, and displayed copies of the posters, which have been placed on the street cars, in the schools and along the highways in this vicinity. As Maryland already has a law which ~ prohibits plucking plants or flowers in that state without the written permission or personal super- vision of the owner, it had been deemed of less importance to conduct a campalgn there than in this city. Much interest in the subject, however, was developed at the = meeting. Whether any further action will be taken there will be decided later. Many arrests have been made in Maryland for violation of the law against depredations on the wild plant life of the state.

FERTILIZER EXPERT SPEAKS Allege Other Offers Showed Actual Loss to Government. Resuming the stand at today's Muscle Shoals, hearing, IL H. Davis, hydro-electric engineer, representing the Union Carbide Company, told the Senate agriculture ocomamittee that the two carbide proposals for operat- ing Muscle Shoals would show a profit to the government over simple interest on the investment at 4 per cent per annum on the government's investment of from $45,800,000 to $51,- 000,000 in dam No. 2. He declared all the other bids showed an actual loss to the government on this investment instead of a profit. Davis said the Union Carbide Com- pany’s proposals were the only ones embodying “a clear-cut program of manufacture by a definite process of a fertilizer of demonstrated superior merit.”” That they are the only ones which offer a readily adaptable and economical process for the production of nitrogenous fertilizer at nitrate plant No. 2 and the only ones that provide for production of a fertilizer that promises to displace Chilean ni- trate. Explains Carbide Propomal. He declared the carbide proposal calls for a profit of 5 per cent against § per cent under all the other bids, 8o that under the carbide bid the farmer would save three-eighths of the profit demanded by other bidders. Frederick M. Beckett, fertilizer expert, representing the carbide company, was the next witness, answering Chairman Norris. Beckett said he was a native of Canada, but a naturalized American citizen.” He said “urea” was made by treating a solution of cyananide in water with carbon dioxide derived from the burning of lime and “urea” is sub- sequently formed by further combi- nation with water. “The economical production fertilizer urea is accomplished through the utilization of materialgy cheaply available, while the uniform purity of the product is entirely due to the ingenious control of the proc- ess,” he said, Concentrated Nitrogenous Plaat. Ho said urea was the most highly concentrated nitrogenous plant food known, carrying 42 per cent in the commercial form. Beckett estimated that urea could be produced at 44 per ton of 20 per cent nitrogen fertilizer. He declared it would therefore cost the American farmer only two-thirds of what he now pays for Chile nitrate and if urea is shipped in concen- trated the farmer also would save five-elghths of the present freight rates. “Nitrate plant No. 2 should be kept of 2 Girl Sues Employer For $25,000,Charging Injury on Auto Trip Because her employer drove his automobile so fast. she declares, while they were on a business trip to New York as to cause her to be thrown against the top and sup- ports of the vehicle and to sustain serious injury, Elaine L.
