Impertanee ef This Wholeeeme Food Not Centrally Reoegnised. . Did It ever ooour to you to wonder how America and the rest of the world could get along without Indian eorn or malseT In one form or an other, this cereal which is peculiar to America, supplies a Urge proportion 4 of our food. It Is .one of the great stand-bys of the stockman and farmer for feeding livestock. It yields oil and other products whloh are not only wholesome, nutritious foods for man and beast but Invaluable for varloua purposes in the arts and Industries. Indian corn is the most productive crop of American farms. It is a won¬ der among plants for profitable culti¬ vation. Us annual yield in the Unit¬ ed States is about three billion bush els. „ _ Corn is on© of the boon's that thU country gave the world ind the Unit* ed States.Is by far the leader In rais Ing It. It has never been found grow¬ ing wild, which Is Quite an exception¬ al (act In botany. Burbank has tried to trace Its descent from a Central American grass but as yet has ad duced no convincing evidence of its origin. It remains as always the samo beautiful, wholesome food for man and the animals most holpfuj In agri¬ culture. The settling and winning of this continent rested largely wit!) oorn. The Indians who knew its worth taught our pioneers to carry a pouch of parched corn as the best provision for a long tramp In the wilderness. Boy members of oorn clubs who have succeeded In Increasing the per* acre yield of oorn several fold feel sorry for the posttion in which they have pin cod their elders as corn-rais¬ ers. They have demonstrated how the country's production of three 111 lion bushels annually might be in¬ creased to 10 billions or more with¬ out much'additional labor. There are some farmers who still plant oorn and other things \by the moon\ but the boys' clubs have never worried about the moon. A MODERN HERCULES. \Stout\ Jackson, of Lubbock, Texas, A Physical Wonder. In Lubbock, Tex., there dwells a man who is. reputed to possess phen omenal physical strength. We should n't be surprised If some circus has found him by this time and booked him as its strong man. His weight l.t only 166 pounds—about the same AJ that oft-mentioned, composite Indi¬ vidual, \the average man.\ Yet, we are solemnly assured that in numer* ous actual tests he has demonstrated his pulling • power to be equal to a score of horses. An automobile Is a mere toy In hU han<i»; \hitched\ to one, tte trots along pulling It with the greatest east*. He thinks nothing of pulling against a strong team of horses and dragging them backward when they are pulling their hardest, declare his truthful neighbors. Taking a two-Inch manila rope In his bare hands he pulls It in two as easily as the ordinary person breaks common wrapping twine. Seemingly without any effort at all he can bend a one-Inch bar of Iron double, holding H by the middle with his teeth anl gripping Its ends with his hands. Bending the largest Iron spikes into staples with his fingers Is a common* place stunt for him. A single blow with one of his fists, say veracious reports, drives a nail through an inch board. He has u record Of lifting on his back a number of men whose combined weights total¬ ed I76« pounds. This man, \Stout\ ' Jackson by name, doesn't show anv abnormal muscular development. His extraordinary strength Is not the re¬ sult of any physical training or any particular diet It appears' to be due simply to the ozonise obtained In doing ordinary fans use some trickery U more wonderful; w< that work. He may make his ntunts can't say as to Safe Makers Against ftorffere. Grime keeps pace with ehangts in the habits and customs of mankind lead to nefcr offei tea, while some good old stand bys ha' * become unpopular. First, • me cauuous per¬ son Invented an lxpn, burglar-proof safe; immediately, declares a writer in \Appleton's the cracksman Invented himself. This declared a war of wits between the safemaker and the saf«- breaker. The door to the original safe fitted in straight, like an ordinary door. They were so easy to open, by means of a Jimmy, Ithat they did not furnish the burglaj with common amusement It wad unsportsmanlike. The wedge-shaped dkor was somewhat jaore difficulty until the cracksman found a way to manage It Then Mr. -^inventor devised a combination lock, and thought he had utterly outwitted the thief. But the no less ingenious thief bought him one, and mercilessly studied out 1U weakness. At first he did aot attempt uj break the lock, but devoted hlmeff to blowing It open.. This was child's play. He put¬ tied up the crack all the way around the door, except a tiny hole at the top and bottom. At the bottom hole be set a small shelf of very fine gunpow¬ der^ To the top hole he attached a vacuum pump. By exhausting the air from the safe he created a strong cur' rent at the lower hole, which sucked In the powdftr. Thsp he fired the safe. That was all.

But all of these meth¬ ods were accompanied by more or less noise, and the cracksman dislikes no¬ toriety.

Then be pared his nails down into the very quick, laying the nerve centers bare. Thus with¬ out drills or powder he was able to open a safe by placing the sensitive end of his finger against the IOKK, while he slowly turned the combina¬ tion. Bo j keen and delicate had his sens* of touch become that he could 'feel when each tumbler dropped into position. The safe would be opened, .rifled and 1 closed again leaving no sign to show how the trick was turn¬ ed. The cracksman was tickled might¬ ily with the mystery and bewilder¬ ment he left behind him.

Diseases ef Metals. fame of the phenomena displayed by metals under certain condition** are strikingly like those of organic bodies suffering from what we c:<:i 'disease. A writer in the \Lancet\ (Ijondon) reminds w that \stability\ can only be a relative term, and the truth is probably that no element is absolutely stable. He goes on: \The discovery of radium has intro¬ duced the doctrine of degradation, but whether that be definitely established or not, and radio-energy apart, spon¬ taneous change would appear to be as true of Inorganic materials as it is of organized entitles. Yellow phosphorus gradually assumes a new complexion <f left to the agencies of time, flnisii- Usj a beautiful dark red. Is this a stop In its retrograde movement to- waid becoming, that Is, an element of a lower order? Why, again, does tin crumble to a gray powder if exposed for a long time to the cold? The ehansje Is known as 'tin piague'; the smooth surface of the metal after un exposure to 16-46 degrees 0. for two years becomes brittle and crystalline. Tin plague 1 is even Infectious, for ou Inoculating other masses of smooth polished tin with small portions or the crystalline metal the 'disease' spreads, the area affected increasing in diameter from three to five milli¬ meters dally. Tinfoil sucoumbs to the Infection In the same way and be¬ comes crystalline and brittle right through. Why, again, does the rail- Way line snap except that it is at¬ tacked by the same 'crystalline dlsW ease'? It would even appear that cer¬ tain metals have their 'illness. 1 as though their activities were interfered with by a toxlo process which may be pushed In many cases to such an ex¬ tent that the metal 'dies.' Platinum, for example, in Its cololdal form, in which it Is very remarkably active, Is positively 'poisoned* by prussic add or corrosive sublimate, and its great energies cease to act; It is kil¬ led.\—Quoted by Literary Digest. Panama Hotel O*ped by Woman. Tie first person to open an Ameri¬ can plain hotel In Panama was a wo¬ man, Mrs. Smith, of Osoeola.

London. — FV>1 lowing two cabinet meetings the situation in the Chunak wme WUH authoritatively described ai \dlMtlnctiy eiiMlur.'* This reeling- of relief over the Neat East' sltiuutlon Is based, first, on the withdrawal of Kemultot forces from Pyrenkeul, a strategic stronghold over¬ looking the entcance to the Dardan¬ elles, leaving the British in control from Kara to Chunak, and, second, on the urrangementH for a preliminary iiHM»tiiiji of Allied, Turk und Greek gen- eruls at Mudania, to dlsrusa complete' evacuation by the Turk8 of the neu¬ tral zone. The action of the Turks is viewed here us u distinct victory for Cireejl Hritaln over MiiHtupha Kemal. The general attitude of the Turk! In the vicinity of Chanuk seems -to have changed. KemallHt detachments have ceased pnshlnu Into neutral terri¬ tory and huve taken up stationary po¬ sitions. The Truks ure no longer pressing against British defensive l«ists and olHclals'who .watched the re* cent encroachment of the Turks now hope hostilities can be avoided. Advices from Paris, however, lndl« cute that the decision to hold a pre¬ liminary conference at Mudania fol¬ lowed the Interview between M. Frank¬ lin IVoulllon, the French emissary, and Kemal, the latter proposing the meet- Ing with the Allied and Greek com¬ manders. It is understood that at the Mudunla conference an attempt will be made to arrange armistice terms preliminary to a general peace Confer¬ ence. Kemal demands the Immediate resti¬ tution to'the Turks of Adrlunople and that portion of Thrace east of the Marltza river.

The Sultan pulled a new wrinkle when he handed his resignation to the ckblnet. The Grand Vlsler quickly told Hamld Bey, who telegraphed Ke¬ mal. He received a reply to Instruct the cabinet not to accept the reslgnu- tipn, but to guard the situation closely. Kemal notified Sir Charles Harring¬ ton, British commander-ln-chlef, that he did not recognise the neutral sone of the Dardanelles. Contantlnople Is menaced by the lat¬ est more of the frurks. ' The Kemallst representative here states that Chanak Is partly occupied by KemallBts and partly by the Brit¬ ish. He declares that when the for¬ mer commenced to enter the sone the latter began firing from the village, but when they were convinced the Turks were not attacking they agreed to Join the occupation. It Is reported that General Harrington will depart for, Smyrna to confer with Kemal. The population Is more panicky than ever as the reports of the advance of the Turks poured In. Authorities here are doing their ut¬ most to prevent an uprising of the Moslem population. The Turks have taken up positions at many points, Including the region arpund Erenkeul, Slrtepe Hill, Lap- haki, felgha and Knrnbtgha.

MEXICAN SOLDIERS REVOLT AT JUAREZ Ten Men Reported Killed and 20 Wo u nded as Rebels and Loyal Troops Clash. El Paso, Tex.—Part of the Juares garrison revolted. They took the loyal Federals completely by surprise, but after several clashes, in which 10 men were killed and 20 wounded, the rebels ran short of ammunition and retired to the outskirts of the city and the Fed¬ eral troops again took charge. The rebels numbered between 200 and 800 , men. American soldiers took posts along the International bridge and after the retirement of the rebels they permit¬ ted Americans having business in Juares to procee^ to the business sec¬ tion. General* Juan Merigo and Nicholas Rodriguez, rebels tinder indictment here on charges of fomenting a revolu¬ tion last spring, were among 100 per¬ sons at the international'bridge who sought to join the rebels. They were not allowed to pass. General J. J. Mendez, commanding the garrison, came to El Paso to send a telegraphic request to Mexico City for more troops. He returned to Juar¬ es and mobilized the few soldiers who remained loyal, and at 8.30 o'clock he declared he had enough soldiers, civil¬ ians and river guards to hold the place until more troops came from Chihua¬ hua City.

STiLLFvlAtJ ANDJNY WIN New York Banker Loses on All Counts and is Found Guilty Besides. AN APPEAL SEEMS LIKELY Son's Right in $10,000,000 Trust Can. not Be Assailed if Finding Is Con. firmed by Court—Trial's Cost May fU Over $600,000. Carmel, N. Y.—James A. Still man, ex-president of the National CIO' Bank of New York/ was denied a de¬ cree in his suit for absolute divorce against his wife, Anne U. HUlliimu, and Baby (iuy Stillman WHS declared legitimate In the findings of Daniel J. CleuHon, referee in the case, which were Hied here. Through his mother's victory Guy Htillinan retains his rights as an heir with his two brothers and his Mister to tbe $6,000,000 trust fund created for rtiew by their Krandfuther, the late James Stillmtin, and In a fund of $27,- 000,000 to be distributed on the death of rtie present James A. StlUinan. The referee's decision was a sweep¬ ing victory for Mrs. Stillman. Not only was her defense upheld, but the referee also confirmed her charges that Mr. Still man had misconducted himself with Florence EL Leeds, for¬ mer Broadway show girl, and that Mrs. Leeds had borne two children. Two of the banker's attorneys. Colo¬ nel William Hand and Outerbridge Horsey, waiting to hear the decision in Mr. Gleason's office at I'ouKhkeep- sle, declined to say whether or not they intended to appeal from the ref¬ eree's findings. In regard to Mrs. Stlllman's charges that her husband had also misconduct¬ ed himself with two other women, identified only as \Helen\ and'Clani,\ Referee G lea son decided that the evi¬ dence was not sufficient to prove the allegations of adultery. the referee said that .the testimony adduced by Mr. Stillman in support of his charges that Mrs. Stillman mis¬ conducted herself with Fred Keiiuvais, part Indian guide, alleged by the banker to be the father of Guy Still¬ man, \uncontradlcted and unexplain¬ ed, was sufficient to justl'y him In be¬ lieving Mrs. Stillman guilty of the charges made against her.\ M A careful examination, however, of all the testimony,\ said his report, \has shaken my faith and belief in the testimony of the witnesses called in the plaintiff's behalf.\ The referee held that Mr. Stillman had failed to overcome the presump¬ tion of legitimacy, which Is one of the strongest known to the law and which '•'cannot be overthrown except by evi¬ dence which Is stronger.\ On the other hand. the.report found the proof of Mrs. Stillman's charges that her husband had supported and maintained Florence 14 Leeds as his wife and that she had given birth to two children \recognized by him,\ had been \so overwhelming and convinc¬ ing that the plaintiffs attorneys frankly stated to the referee that no denial would be made of these charges.\ Mrs. Stillman, the referee held, not only offered evidence tending to estab¬ lish the falsity of the evidence of mis¬ conduct by her and Beauvais, but also presented evidence tending to, show that agents of Mr. Stillman offered in¬ ducements of money and position to witnesses who would testify that his wife had misbehaved with the Indian guide. In conclusion, it was recommended that the plaintiffs complaint should be dismissed. * The referee's report, upon motion by either side, will go to Justice Mor¬ ten a user of the supreme court for con¬ firmation or rejection. It is expected that Justice Morschauser will uphold the findings of Mr. G lea son. ' \This is a very .unusual action,*' said the report, \as it clearly appears without contradiction that since at least as early an 1910, and ever since that date, during the continuance of this action and down to at least March, 1021. the plaintiff has been in¬ timate with a woman not his wife,, known as Florence 11. Leeds; has sup¬ ported and maintained her as his wife In various places and in various apart¬ ments. CONSIDIR'S LEAGUE 1UDQET Nations' «ody Has 3,000,000 France In Treasury, Assembly Learns.
