While not attempting to minimize the situation in_the South due to the surplus crop, Mr. Rankin declared that the South had seen cotton go down to 6 cents in 1914 and the price doubled the next year. “We have just as good a right to expect an increase next year,” he said. ‘“The low price of cotton is bound to stimulate the textile industry and in- crease European demand. with a re- sultant increase in.advertising needs.

Farmers will reduce their acreage if compelled to do so, Mr. Rankin said, and this can be accomplished by refusing credit to those who refuse to live up to such agreements. * ‘Sock the surplus’ should be your advertis- ing slogan,” he told the delegates.

Mrs. Rose H. Cheseldine Gets Lim- ited Divorce and Alimony. Justice Stafford, in Equity Division 1, today awarded Mrs. Rose H. Ches. eldine, 3310 Holmead place, a limited divorce from J. Reed Cheseldine, Treasury Department employe, on grounds of cruellty. The decree- di- rects the payment of permanent all- mony to the wife and the costs of the litigation. It was charged by Mrs. Cheseldine that she was compelled to leave home April 24, 1924, because of alleged cruel treatment. The husband, replying to the suit, alleged that.interference on the part of the aife’s relatives was the cause of their disugreement. Attorneys Raymond Neudecker and William C.

Although the joint conference on retirement of civil service employes has not yet drafted a definite pro- sram for the immediate future, Robert H. Alcorn, chairman, pre: dicted today that “in all probability” some further legislation on the sub- ject of retirement of Government em- ployes will be proposed at the coming session of Congress. The retirement federation of em- ployes in navy yards, naval stations and arsenals will hold its annual meeting in Washington Saturday, at which the general question of retire- ment will undoubtedly be discussed. Will Meet Next Month. The joint conference itself, a cen- tral group through which various or- ganizations of Government workers co-operate, will meet here about the middle of November. Mr. Alcorn said today the question of what form further legislation should take would not be taken up until the November meeting of the conference, but he regards as it as being more than likely some measure will be ad- vocated. Twenty Delegates Expected. He pointed out that while the meas- ure enacted at the last session was a marked improvement over the old re- tirement law, it fell short of meeting the terms regarded as reasonable and adequate by Government workers. The new law raised the maximum annuity from $72¢ to $1,000 and the added cost was met by the increase in the employes’ contribution to the re- tirement fund. Approximately 20 delegates are ex- pected to attend the meeting of the retirement federation of navy yard workers in Typographical Temple Saturday. In addition to discussing the retirement law, this federation will elect officers for the ensuing year. s GERMAN-AMERICAN PROBE 30DY COMPLETES REPORT Leaves It to Governments to De- cide if Steel Has Been Dumped Into This Country.

WHISTLING 7Z-MONTH-OLD BABY SENSATION IN MEDICAL CIRCLES Infant of Naval Officer Here Puts Himself to Sleep With “Stunt"—Began It When 5 Months Old. Lieut. Emory P. Hylant, U. S. N, nd Mrs. Hylant are the proud par- nts of an unusual sort of infant senius. The annals of the American Medical Association chronicle in- stances where infants have learned o talk unusually early and do other wonderful things, but nowhere else, iccording to Dr. Joseph M. Heller of the Parkwood Apartment, is there a known case where a baby has learned to whistle itself to sleep at the age of seven months. The baby is Emory Paul Hylant, jr., and with its parents, lives at South- brook Courts, 3420 Sixteenth street. Ever since Emory Paul was 5 months old, he has been making whistling noises, but now he can whistle loud enough to make his sallor father, ac- customed to hearing the ship’s bo's'n piping, jump occasionaliy. He delights in whistling himself to sleep, too. Heredity plays no part in this phe- nomenon, according to Dr. Heller, who related the facts to a number of other physicians and was assured none of them had ever before heard of such an unusual case. Dr. Heller attended Mrs. Hylant at her birth, and he de- clares there was no whistling at her crib. The father, as a naval officer, would nev®r think of whistling, for on shipboard the only dignitary who may whistle is the bo's'n, and even he calls it “piping.” Emory Paul has learned to know what the word “whistle” means, too. ‘Whenever his parents want him to demonstrate his talents, they merely say “Whistle, sweetheart!” and the baby begins tuning up immediately, puckering his little mouth precisely the same as any adult would when about to trill the latest “blue.” Emory Paul is in perfect health and weighs better than 18 pounds.
