Start Plant Cuttings. i The experiments described by Dr. Penny have Been applied primarily lo starting tubers and plant cuttings ipto life from a period of dormancy. Fhey also probably are applicable to jther processes in the growth of plants and constitute one of the most mportant advances in agriculture. They started from the observation ‘hat & small amount of ethylene gas teleased in a compartment filled with sartly green oranges or lemons on heir way to market had the effect of freatly hastening the vellowing proc- 158 'of the fruit. It formerly was the jractice to keep green fruit in a room seated with kerosene stoves to bring \bout this effect, but finally the ithylene was distinguished as the ac- ive agent. The discovery is likely to prove of )xtreme value to florists, enabling ‘hem to control the blossoming period 3 various flowering shrubs so that fhey will be available for the holiday market. The gain in time for the sprouting 3t potatoes is from two te six weeks, Jepending on the extent of the period s dormaney. The probable explana- ion is advanced that the chemicals save a slightly destructive effect on plant tissues, thus giving the growth lactors freer play. Shade trees ex- soged over a considerable period to he ethylene in_ illuminating gas are killed. Insensible Perspiration. ‘An insensible perspiradon is going n from the skin surfaces, detectable, inly by delicate instruments, which is in important factor in keeping the squilibrium of body heat, the academy: was told by Francis G. Benedict, who tas devoted intensive study to the rarious factors of loss of heat from the body. The embryology of a varlety of horse tail through the process of de- reloping the various plant organs was tescribed by Douglas H. Campbell. T'he observations show, Dr. Campbell Heves, that the horsetail, one of thes ree oldest families of plants, is more ‘osely related to the fern group than » the mosses. Florence R. Sabin told of experl- vents at Yale University on the ef- fect of tubercle bacilli on the cells of the connective tissues of rabbits. “Death whisper waves” of sound of fuch high frequeney that they cannot be heard, but which are capable of killing small animals and of breaking flown the corpuscles of the blood, were flescribed to the academy this morn- Ing by Prof. R. W. Wood of Johns Hopkins University, who told of ex- periments with them at the private iaboratory of A. L. Loomis at Tuxedo Park, N. Y. These rays of inaudiple sound are produced from slices of ‘quartz crystal, friven by oscillating electric_currents bf frequencies of around 500,000 a grcond. They travel through any liguid or solid object and heat it meas- urably as they go, but do not come out into the air.

Among the guests were Sena- tors Cillett of Massachusetts and Swanson of Virginia, former Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania, Siv Esme Howard, British Ambassador, and Wil- liam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. Last night President Machado was the honor guest at a dinner by Am- bassador Ferrara of Cuba. The guests included virtually the entire diplomatic corps, Secretaries Kellogg, Mellon and Davis of the Labor Department, At- torney General Sargent, Postmaster General New and many other officials. The President received a committee vepresenting the Spanish-War Vet- erans and a delegation of the National League of Women Voters, In the vet- erans’ group were Willam H. Mat- tocks, Capt. George F. Cook, John Lewis Smith and Senor Don Cayetano de Quesada, attache of the Cuban em- bassy and a member of Richard Hard- ing Camp, United Spanish War Vet- erans, Women Voters Get Pledge. The woman voters’ delegation w headed by Miss Belle Sherwin, presi dent of the organization, who ex- pressed, on behalf of leading Ameri- can suffragists and woman veters, their appreciation of President Ma- chado’s pledged support of the cam- paign for woman suffrage in E€uba. The President was asked to take greet- ings and good wishes to the women's societies of 'Cuba from “their sisters in the United State: and he replied he would arrange an occasion to do so immediately on his return to Havana. President Machado told the delega- tion through Ambassador Ferrara that suffrage for women of Cuba would, in his opinion, be an act of justice. He praised the progress Cu- ban women have made in the last quarter of a century, and reiterated his previous statements that no longer should they be deprived of the right of voting. The Executive said the delegation’s visit to him expressed the great in- terest of American women in the welfare of the women of his land. Others in the delegation were: Mrs. Maud Wood Park of Portland, Me. former league president; Miss Mar- guerite M. Wells and Miss Gladys Harrison of Minneapolis, Mrs. Ernest J. Mott, Miss Alice Burr and Miss Ruth Turner of San Francisco, Mrs. Albert H. Putney of this ecity and Miss Julia Margaret Hicks of Gran- ville, N, Y.

Louis A. the pastor, and the other ng to oust him. ! Because of the crowded ccmdition of his docket, iley certified the case to Justice Frederick L. Siddons, and the congregation changed over to the other court. Disapppintment awaited them there, for coulnsel got into a wrangle over the right ‘to make the pastor a party to the contiroversy. His backers, of course, had ncy sought | an injunction against him, and At- torney Austin ¥. Canfield, wio is as- | sociated with Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and R. H. Yeathan in opposi- tion to the pastor, contended he is an essential party to the case Justice Siddoms cut the knot by granting permisision to the opposition to make Rev. Mt. Mossback a party to their cross petition and gave Attor- neys Raymond B. Dickey and E. C. Kriz, representing the Mossburg fac- tion, 10 days in which to file am answer to the cross petition on behalf of the minister. The litigation was started March 6 when John E. Taltavull and 28 other members brought suit for am injunc- tion against Edwin C, Crouch and four other mempbers. Justice Bailey on reading the petition granted a tem- porary restraining_order, preventing Edwin C. Croudh, John E. Steele and Robert I. Maddox from acting as trus- tees, Andrew M. Steele from acting superintendent of. the Sunday school and James E. Cloey from acting as | general treasurer. The defendants in an answer denied the charges of the Taltavull faction and asked an in- junction against the pastor and the plaintiffs. Justice Bailey held the sit- uation as it existed under the restrain- ing order until after’the Easter serv- ices. Hearing will probably be deferred for about two weeks. i R e L ‘BORAH IS ACCUSED OF DECEIVING NATION Eighteen World Court Advocates Write Open Letter to Members of Senate on Primaries. By tho Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 25.—An open lete ter to members of the United States Senate signed By 18 World Court ad- vocates, containing charges by Samuel Colcord that Senator Borah has mis- led the Nation in attempting to show that recent senatorial primary elec- tions indicate opposition to American participation in the World Court, was made public today. Mr. Coleord, in his letter. asserts he will prove Senator Borah is the “greatest propagandist of all times,” if the Senator will challenge him to do_so. Defeat in senatorial primaries in Illinois and Wisconsin of Republican senators. who supported the Court, was not caused by their vote for the Court, the letter asserts, but by local political quarrels.

Court Dismisses Action on Request of Dale’s Counsel. The appeal of George R. Dale, Mun- cie, Ind., editor, from his conviction for contempt of court was today dis- missed by the Supreme Court upon motion of Dale’s counsel. Former Senator Moses Clapp of Minnesota, appearing as counsel for Dale, advised the court that he had carefully examined the papers in the case and had decided that no_ ques- tion was raised within the jurisdiction of the court. For that reason he asked the court to dismiss the case, which was down for oral argument this week. Dale was sentenced at Muncle after a controversy with Judge Clarence T. Dearth of the Delaware Circuit Court. His fight finally caused im- peachment proceedings to be brought against the judge in the Indiana Leg- islature. The judge was acquitted. CITY TO FELL 90 TREES.
