This Solomon answers also to the ume of Thomas F. Brady and he presides in the mu- court. A few days before Christmas, a sad-eyed woman, ac- pmpanied by two tearful little boys, appeared in Brady’s urt complaining of the neglect and non-support of the nd and father. The latter was summoned. Brady d the stories of all concerned and then he turned to eSO e man. “I am not telling you the amount of your fine,” said his Solomon, “but the court fines you one Merry Christ- s for your two children and your wife. Guess what hat fine would have been and then spend a similar 4 unt on your family, and, remember, the fine for this offense would have been a large one,” Out of the court went the family together. There was softened father, a relieved and happy mother and two ‘ous boys. And the Great Day just ahead!

One of the most interesting | branches of work being done in the rubber investigation is aimed at these plants with the idea of tn- creasing their percentage yield. The sugar bett originally contained only 6 to 7 per cent of sugar and the yield was increased, by sctentitic work, to 17 per cent. Rubber plants, native to this country, will thrive on desert and waste lands and this jincreases the importance of making 'these plants solve the rubber prob. lem.
