) 0 | CELEBRATE SIGNING; THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, 'DECEMBER 6, 1998.° OF ANTI-WAR PACT Distinguished Group Attends Pilgrims’ Society Dinner. Houghton Speaks. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, December 6.—A distin- | guished company last night attended the dinner of the Pilgrims’ Soclety to celebrate the signing of the Kellogg pact for renunciation of war. United States Ambassador Alanson B. Houghton and Sir Austen Chamberlain, secretary of state for foreign affairs, were the prin- cipal guests. Others present were the Jord chancellor, Viscount Cecil of Chel- wood; Lord Hardinge and Lord David- son, the former Archbishop of Canter- bury. Lord Deshorough presided. Ambassador Houghton told the guests that the 5,000 miles of unfortified and unguarded American-Canadian frontier are proof sufficient to the world that two peoples can live side by side not armed against each other. Ambassador Houghton quietly assured Britain and Europe that American and | Prench surgeons and the results of their other peoples of the New World are es- sentially peace-lovin: Sir Austen followed the Ambassador. He declared that the very existence of the Kellogg peace pact depends on the decision of the American Senate with regard to ratification, and that no gov- | ernment more quickly would follow | American action than that of Britain. When Lord Desborough gave the latest news of the condition of King George, the distinguished company, which included neavly 50 ammssadozs. and ministers, drank to the health of the King. This was a departure from the usual custom of the society of sub- mitting a teast to the King and to the President of the United States simultancously. Most of the guests voiced an audible “God save the King” as they accepted the toast. ORCHID CULTURE PLAN APPLIED TO POTATOES Fabulous Production Gains Ex- pected by French Botanist as Reésult. LA FERTE-SOUS-JARRE, France (#)—With an idea borrowed from the culture of orchids, Dr. Jean Gratiot, botanist, is convinced that he has dis- covered a method of cultivation that, applied to potatoes, would increase the yield in fabulous proportions. Twenty years ago Prof. Noel Bernard, eminent botanist, revealed the curious phenomenon that orchids and potatoes are “sick plants” that cannot llve with- out their special diseases. The thou- sands of vnrmles of orchids live from birth with a fungus, deprived of which, they perish. They are contaminated in the soil. for their seeds do not contain the germ of the parasite. Dr. Gratiot has succeeded in isolating the germ and by uniting it with seed in sterilized tubw, produces flourishing orchids at B!mlhrly, the potato, when grown from seed, does not produce a tuber. It can be obtained only by planting seed potatoes, Dr. Gratiot has isolated the potato’s particular fungus and believes the same method of propagation ap- plied to the orchid can be practiced on the potato.

A world-wide investigation by two own researches were presented recent- ly to the National Surgical Congress, with the conclusion that this form of limited general anesthesia is the best and the safest when confined to its proper _scope Dr. Emile Forgue, professor in the Montpellier School of Medicine, and Dr. Antoine Basset, surgeon of the Paris city hospitals, the two research workers, presented what they considered the true fleld of this anesthetizing, which consists of the replacement of some of the fluid surrounding the spinal cord with an anesthetizing liquid. The injection is made downward be- which the anesthetic is intended to be efective. 2 » = (= Build yo.
