CHICAGO (#).—Deep in the silence of the Northern forests a race of hardy men, slenderly linked to civilization, are geaf to_the blandishments of radio’s | ourt. anything that had two ends,” still work their wonders in lumber camp ballads. This is the refreshing word brought out of that country by Erhardt Reichel, wandering minstrel who has hiked 5,000 miles through the timberland to sing and scrape his mellow fiddle before 35,- 000 sentimental lumberjacks. Sentimental? _ Well,” “Where the River Shannon Flows" always is first choice, with “My Wild Irish Rose” a close second, Reichel reports. Many of the old-time Canuck lum- ‘berjacks still work in the woods, espe= ciaily on the more skilled jobs, Reichel reports, but the bulk of today’s lumber- men ar Scandinavians, Finns, Germans and more than a few Kentucky moun- taineers. WINTER KILLING DUE TO LACK OF POTASH Pennsylvania Railroad’s Survey Bhows Alfalfa Survives With Proper Fertilization. HOWARD CITY, Mich. (#)—Win- ter killing of alfalfa on light soils may be the result of too weak a solution of potash in the humus, experiments on the Pennsylvania Railroad’s sand land demonstration farm indicate. Plots receiving liberal applications perfect condition, Wwhereas other plots treated with 16 and 20 per cent superphosphate and with complete fer- tilizers were badly thinned by Win- ter. Some plots receiving complete fertilizers of low potash content were thinned almost as badly as the stands on_unfertilized tracts. Alfalfa receiving potash with super- phosphate was the first to show green this Spring and promises to cut twice as much hay per acre as any of the other plots. Best results were obtained from applications of 300 pounds of potash 1o the acre LICENSE IS RETURNED.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.—Supersti- tion and savagery inherent in the American people are great enough to involve them in another war, Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Inte- rior, said today in an address at Bea- ver College, “We are a great expanding coun- try,” he said. “We have a great civ- ilization, but we have shown, through ages, little improvement in mental quality. You can search through the Senate without finding a Solomon; we have no athlete today as great as Goliath; no marksman as accurate as David. “What has produced the change in our present civilization? The change has been in our environment. There has been no_ actual improvement in the makeup of man. “There is coming into being a new conception of internationalism, our control of universal laws has given greater power and reign to races and to individuals, but we still find vestiges of savagery in our civilization. One may think that astrologers have gone out long ago, but horoscope readers to- day are making fortunes. * * * We have built up our civilization by the author- ity of the people, and through the sub- Jjugation of popular authority to super- stition and savagery we can wreck the whole mechanism.” . ‘When Pussyfoot Johnson recently a rived at Calcutta, Indla, to conduct a prohibition campaign, he was given an ovation and decorated with flower garlands.

Reconciliation between the Catholic Church and the Mexican government, which appears certain to be brought{ about within the next month, will mark | a diplomatic triumph for Dwight W. Morrow, the American Ambassador to Mexico. Church officials said yester- day that Mf. Morrow’s close personal triendship with President Portes Gil probably did more to bring the church and state to the threshold of an agree- ment than any one factor. It was disclosed that Mr. Morrow brought a personal message from Presi- dent Portes Gil to Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz, exiled prelate of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico, which was | even more convincing of the sincerity of the present Mexican administration in its desire to restore the Catholic religion to a position of freedom than President Gil's recent public invitation to Arch- bishop Rulz to return for a conference. Confers With Delegate. Ambassador Morrow conferred with | a representative of the apostolic dele- gate to the United States the first day he arrived in Washington early last | week. At that conference, which tcok | place at the State Department and was | held in the presence of high State De- partment officials, he delivered Presi- dent Gil's message. While it is sald Archbishop Ruiz already had been se- lected by the Vatican to bc the apos- tolic delegate to Mexico, Lhat confer- ence resulted in the annocuncement being hastened. At the State Department it was said that Mr. Morrow had acted in the role of peacemaker between the Cath- olice Church and the Mexican govern- ment as a private citizen who was anx- fous to see the breach mended before it brought about more serious conse- quences for both sides. At no tire, however, did Mr. Morrow enter iutn this situation at the instance of the State i!tol’rd to the districts from which they | uation, at which time the Gil message; Department or in his capacity as the American Ambassador. The United States Government has consistenily refrained from interfering in Mexico's religious problem. Planned Reconciliation. Mr. Morrow enjoyed the closest per- sonal friendship with Elias Plutarco Calles, who preceded President Portes Gil as chief executive of Mexico, &s well as the present administrations. began laying the foundation for a rec- onciliation between the church and the state during the latter part of Calles’ administration and continued his ef- forts in that direction with President Gil. Several days before Ambassador Morrow left for the United States he | conferred with President Gil on the sit- He was entrusted to him. | Church_officials in Washington de- clared today that the religious problem ceased to be an issue between the Vati- can and the Mexican government last night, immediately after the appoint- ment of Archbishop Ruiz as Apostolic delegate to Mexico was announced. From that moment, it was stated, it became a problem between Mexicans. The archbishop being a native Mexican, he is to deal with the situation as a Mexican. On that basis, representatives of both sides of the problem believe it will be brought to rapid and satisfac- tory settlement. 5 Expect Recall of Bishops. It was said that it is not stretching things too far to predict that the 30 exiled Mexican bishops will be recalled by the Mexican government within the next 30 days and that they will be re- were driven several years ago. There were 32 bishops in the original group of exiles. Two have died in exiles Church property will be restored to the bishop, it is said, with some restrictions which cannot be avoided under Mexico's new || constitution. President Gil is convinced, it is said, that conditions in Mexico will become ‘more stabilized if the church is restored as one of the free religions of the country. With its tremendous popu- lation, it is said the present adminis- tration realizes that there will be an undercurrent of discontent and mum- blings about revolution until freedom of worship is again made possible. An insipient revolution already is under- way, headed by & group of young men who call themselves Cristeros, which, liberally interpreted, means Christ's men. Archbishop Ruiz expects to leave for Mexico City within 10 days or 2 weeks. It is well understood that he does not expect his negotiations to require many days. The Vatican, however, probably will want to approve any commitments he may wish to make as the official representative of the Pope. There- fore, it was said, it may be about 30 days before the order recalling the bishops is issued and an agreement HAPPY MARRIAGE FORMULA DRAWN Baptist Pastor Lists Ten Commandments for Housewives. By tfie Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 1.—The most carping critics of marriage as an institution are those too indifferent to work out a feasible plan for marital suc- cess and adhere to it. This is the opinion of Dr. J. E. Dil- lard, Baptist pastor and widely known writer-lecturer. “By their own actions critics under- mine the foundations of happy married life, and when their homes come tum- bling down they blame marriage,” Dr. Dillard says. “The number of divorces in proportion to marriages would be materially lowered if the woman would put as much time into homemaking and effort to make her husband happy as she does in trying to find reasons for divorce.” Lists “Ten Commandments.” Dr. Dillard listed 10 commandments for housewives, which he said would make marriage successful, if observed. They are: “Thou shalt remember thy marriage vows, and act as thou thinkest other married women ought to act. “Thou shalt determine to make thy marriage a success and be willing to pay the price thereof. Study, plan, work, pray, give and forgive if thou wouldst make success of thy marriage. “Thou shalt learn to work in_‘double harness!’ Study thy husband, his likes and dislikes; stress thy duties rather than thy rights. “Thou shalt keep thyself attractive in person and manner. Look thy best, be thy sweetest and never nag. Never say cutting things about folks, especially his folks, and most especially his mother. “Thou shalt watch the little things. Keep the house clean; cook his favor- ite dishes: see that buttons are sewed on and the mending done, “Put Thyself in His Place.” “Thou shalt sympathize with thy husband in his trials and help him in his business. Put thyself in his place; don’t expect luxuries and comforts ye cannot afford. Be economical but not stingy. “Thou shalt make thy home so at- tractive that thy husband will not want to go to his club or the smoker for a little peace and comfort. “Thou shalt never compromise thy convictions of right and duty, but be careful not to mistake thy selfishness and stubbornness for convictions. “Thou shalt not pity thyself nor talk of thy ailments unduly nor let others persuade you that you are having a hard time. Your success will be worth all it costs and more. “Thou shalt be a Christian every day at home as well as at church and in society, and when thou hast made a mistake, back up and try again.” Scots to Honor Livingstone. Scotch residents of South Africa will erect a memorial to David Livingstone near the scene of his life's work. Pres- ent plans call for a life-size statue of the great explorer-missionary on che banks of the Zambesi River, near the Victoria Falls, of which he was the dis- coverer. The project has been actively taken up by the Caledonian Socleties cf the Union of South Africa and Rhode- sia, who have already contributed more than $10,000 of the $75,000 required. Admirers of Livingstone in Scotland are also becoming enthusiasticg over the project and are expected to contribute to the fund.
