Highest Building in the World.
The new Larkin Building in New
York will the highest building in the
world with 110 stories; the new Book
Tower in Detroit second tallest with
85 floors; while the new projected La-
bor Temple in Chicago seems destined
to 75 floors.
The highest building in the world at
present is the Woolworth Building in
New York with 60 floors; the second
highes the Metropolitan Life Building
with 50 floors; the third the Singer
Building with 41 floors; the fourth and
the fifth, the Broadway and 48th St.
Building and the Banker’s Trust, each
having 39 floors; the City Investing,
and 178-180 East 48th Street Build-
ing, each with 33 floors. These build-
ings range in height from 487 feet
to 792 feet. The Eiffel Tower, Paris;
is 1,000 feet in height, but will be
much shorter than the new Larkin
Building now in the course of con-
struction.

CHICAGO PLANS WORLD FAIR
TO AID REPUTATION.
Its civic name blemished by gang
fighting, bombings, murders and crime
in general, Chicago has conceived a
plan to renovate its reputation with
the World Fair here in 1933. Each
of the 900,000 families that go to
make up the city will be asked to
contribute $5 to establish a fund fi-
nancing the fair without aid from the
State or Federal governments, so that
every citizen may have an opportun-
ity to aid in the reputation cleaning
plan.
With this fund, the World Fair
committee plans to build impressive
buildings and invent exhibits and en-
tertainments which will bring thou-
sands of persons from all parts of the
country and world.
When those thousands arrive there
for the fair, the committee believes,
they will discover that Chicago, after
all, is a rather nice place, and the
greater majority of the citizens law
abiding.
Long ago, when Chicago first broke
into national print as something to be
shuddered at; when the name of Chi-
cago on a news story first began to
evoke righteous chills down the spines
of readers, leading citizens broke in-
to a cold sweat.
A wonderful city, they said, was
losing millions of dollars in manu-
facturing and trade, because its repu-
tation kept people away.
Why wouldn’t people come here and
find out how bad the city was?
But people preferred, in the main
and especially if they were timid, to
read the papers recounting the ex-
ploits of the Genna brothers, and
“Scarface” Al Capone, and to believe
everything they heard.
Among those who decried Chicago’s
evil name were industrial leaders.
Samuel Insull, utility magnate, and
others cast about for a way to bring
people here to see the beauties of the
city.
Those leaders conceived the idea of
making the World Fair of 1933 the
turning point in Chicago’s reputation.
Rufus G. Dawes brother of the Vice
President, is president of the Fair as-
sociation. Insull is chairman of the
finance committee. These two men
with the aid of a large group of oth-
er civic leaders are laying plans to
beguile Fair visitors into becoming
familiar with the city and its advan-
tages as a residing place,
Perhaps, it is admitted, no more
people will be added to the city’s pop-
ulation which already totals more
than 4,000,000 but visitors are expect-
ed to return to all parts of the coun-
try, to their homes, and say:
“This Chicago isn’t such a bad
place. Now, they have beautiful bou-
levards, marvelous buildings, wonder-
I didn’t
see any. signs of crime, and people
seemed to be most comfortable despite
all these gangsters I read about.
Meanwhile, prominent citizens will
exert their influence to see that the
city is completely “cleaned up” long
before the World Fair.
More Maple Products for Pennsylva-
nia, .
While the controversy on eugenics
and selective breeding as applied to
human beings and animals continues
to rage, the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Forests and Waters is going
quietly ahead with plans to apply the
same principles to tree culture. Iin-
provements in the sugar content of
maple sap is one experiment upon
which experts of the department are
centering their attention and co-ope-
rating with others who believe in the
possibility.
In the sugar cane and sugar beet
industry the sugar content has been
increased greatly by selective breed-
ing and selection. Until the present
time no effort has been made to ap-
ply the same principles to sugar ma-
ple trees.
This project was conceived about
two years ago in a conference be-
tween Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, world
famed pure food chemist, Dr. Edward
Hart, professor emeritus of chemistry
at Lafayette College, and State For-
ester Joseph S. Illick. The sap of the
sugar maple contains an average of
about 3 per cent sugar but runs as
low as 1 per cent and as high as 10
per cent. In Vermont, the leading
maple sugar State, the Burlington
Agricultural Experiment station has
found a number of trees with 8.2 per
cent cugar content. On the strength
of these facts, Dr. Hart has arranged
for Lafayette College to undertake
an experiment for the purpose of pro-
ducing a race of prize sugar maple
trees.
Following a survey of Pennsylva-
nia for specimens of “sweet trees,”
the seed from these trees will be
planted and a committee comprising
two chemists and a botanist selected
to see that this experiment is carried
forward to completion. Prof. J. H.
Delong, assistant professor of chem-
istry of Lafayette College, Easton,
has agreed to make all the sugar de-
terminations. He will need about
four ounces of sap from each tree,
which should be caught in a narrow
necked bottle and securely corked and
sent to him with an appropriate num-
ber, so that if it is found a good
source, it can be easily recognized.
The tree should be labeled with the
same number as the bottle.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Forests and Waters is co-operating in
this experiment and district foresters
throughout the State are locating ma-
ple trees with a high sugar content.

.. HUNGARIAN GAME
: BIRDS INCREASE.
| Although far from their native
; haunts and facing conditions to which
i they are unaccustomed, the Hungar-
“ian partridge is beginning to thrive
lin Pennsylvania.
| A survey recently completed by the
board of game commissioners showed
liberated more than two years ago
the birds have become acclimated and
are increasing in numbers. In one
county, where 216 were released,
game protectors estimate there are
11200 birds. They range widely and
some coveys haye been found as far
as thirty miles from the point of or-
iginal release.
This European bird, which is larger
than our bob white, prevailingly gray
in color, and with a red-brown tail,
was first released in 1925, when 3962
individuals, the sexes about evenly di-
vided, were liberated in several of the
less mountainous counties. A year
later 1643 birds were liberated.
The birds made the trans-oceanic
trip in good condition and at the time
of liberation were in sound health.
The principal difficulty in holding the
birds in captivity resulted from their
tendency to spring violently against
the wires or bars of their cages, thus
injuring their heads and wings. Once
a wound has opened other birds in the
cage or crate often pecked at the
wound so that infection semetimes de-
veloped with fatal results.
Birds were released only in locali-
ties thought to be suitable for them.
In Germany, Hungarian partridges
thrive better in the lowlands, although
in other parts of Europe and Oregon
they thrive at various altitudes. In
Pennsylvania the birds are faring best
in more open regions and agricultural
districts where they inhabit the fields
and hilltops and where they find food
of weedseeds and waste grain. In
only one case have birds which were
released disappeared. In all other
cases the game protectors have close-
ly observed and guarded the birds and
have found that they are on the in-
crease. The principal reason credited
for the success of the Hungarian
partridge in Pennsylvania is that
birds were liberated in good sized
coveys, not as individuals or isolated
pairs. Unless these birds are liberated
in coveys they do not thrive.
So far game protectors have not
had uniform success in feeding these
birds during the winter, and the chief
problems of the species seem to be
concerned with satisfactorily weather-
ing the cold season in the face of lack
of food, and natural enemies with
hich they are not yet well acquaint-
ed. .

Colonial Prohibition Failed.
Prohibition was first tried out in
this country one hundred and ninety-
three years ago. In 1773 the trustees
of the colony of Georgia, without con-
sultation or debate and acting on the
grounds of public health, resolved to
prohibit rum and brandy. Although
not particularly drastic—neither beer
nor wines were affected—this law was
found difficult to enforce. It raised
troublesome questions through its in-
terference with the commerce of the
other colonies, and after a trial of
nine years its sponsors themselves at-
tempted to have it repealed.
But the King refused to permit the
repeal of the act in question. The
trustees discovered that it was easier
to get a law on the books than to get
it off once it was on.
But they made no effort to see that
i the act was enforced. Not only did
| they wink at flagrant violations, but
{the jury at Savannah ceased after
| this to indict offenders. William Ste-
phens, president of the colony, 1743-
51, viewed the situation complacently.
In his own opinion less rum was con-
sumed in the colony after its use was
permitted than when it had to be ob-
tained secretly. In a letter written
to the trustees he says: ]
“A beverage compounded of one
part rum, three parts of water, and
a little brown sugar is very fit to be
taken at meals.”—R. W. Gordon, in
Adventure Magazine.
Urge Pre-College Test to Prove Char-
acter Instead of Efficiency.
A pre-college test for all high
school students, to determine charac-
ter, industry and seriousness, rather
than mental efficiency and learning,
was urged by Dr. Clarence Cook Lit-
tle, the president of the University of
Michigan, in an address here recent-
ly.
“At Michigan, we find that high
school grades do not tell the story,”
Dr. Little declared, “For instance, a
girl came to us with an exceptionally
poor high school record four years af-
ter her graduation from high school.
If we had judged her scholarship stan-
dards we would have denied her ad-
mission.”
“We investigated her case and dis-
covered that she had come to the
United States from Poland, just a
short time before she entered high
school. Her lack of English had been
responsible for her poor showing. In
her four years out of school she had
helped support her mother by work-
ing on a Chicago daily newspaper, and
thus was enabled to perfect her
knowledge of English. She is now
one of our most brilliant students.”

Static Has its Uses—Warns Electric
Plant of Approaching Storms.
Several electric power plants in
Pennsylvania employ the principle of
the ordinary radio to warn of ap-
proaching storms and are thus given
an opportunity of preparing for an
increased lighting demand, says the
Pennsylvania Public Service Informa-
tion Committee.
Static electricity, abhorred by radio
fans, is utilized to ring an alarm.
“Static” is gathered by an aerial and
runs down through a device known as
a “coherer,” which decreases resist-
ance. A simple mechanism then al-
lows the current to vibrate a bell.
Warning is given the electric com-
pany from one to two hours in ad-
vance of the impending storm and
permits the company to prepare am-
ply for the increased lighting demand.
