Birth control is the basis of the new drama of discussion. "Her Unborn Child." which is playing a "Her return engagement all this Inborn week, with daily matinees, Child" at the Orpheum. This new play is the work of a bril liant young American dramatist, Howard McKent Barnes, who has jpught to solve a big problem just the English author, Hamilton, sought to answer a big question in "The Blindness of Virtue." Mr. Barnes has s&ught to tell the truth about birth control and it is his theory that 4 by the education of the masses the slaughter of innocent, unborn babies will stop. Because of the sacredness of motherhood and out of courtesy to the ladies, the matinee performances, excepting to-morrow, will be reserved exclusively for the ladies. At all matinees Mrs. Allen will ad dress the ladies on the subject of "Motherhood." The opening performance of the summer vaudeville season, at Paxtang Park, last evening, was Vaudeville greeted by a large und a* Paxtang enthusiastic audience.

The young sters always have oeen popular here and with the program they have to offer will lose none of their popu larity. Holden and Graham open the list with a clever bit of smoke picture painting and shadowgraphs. Thorn ton and Thornton have a lively song and talk skit which is highly enter taining. The most humorous bit on the list is "Check Your Hat," by John T. Kay and Company, with a line of funny songs and comedy. The Pennsylvania Kailroad Glee Club with eighteen voices in the chorus close the bill, with some ex cellent musical numbers, including solos and a quartet. While the glee club members have a few little man nerisms to overcome, as they are evidences of only a limited stage experience, yet the presentation was very creditable and with only a few more appearances the club certainly will have an enviable record. One or two brighter and livelier songs would help to put the club in the lead in this new venture. Harris burgers are wishing the men every success and show their apprecia tion of the efforts of the members, who are making a hit. MAX ROBERTSON. Safety of Nations Must Stand on Supremacy of the Law, Says Hughes Long Beach, N. Y„ May 29. —Charles E. Hughes, speaking at the National Conference on Foreign Belations or the United States, which began a Ave days' session here last night, asserted that if "the world is to be made safe for democracy, it must be a world in which the nations recognize and maintain the supremacy of law." Mr. Hughes said he had been con sidering the means for developing international law, and for the Inter pretation and application of rules of law. "But," he added, "the purposes, when this war is ended, will reach be yond the function of law and the aim will be, in every practicable way, to provide safeguards against the recur rence of war. This suggests the ad visability of establishing international instrumentalities of conciliation which can deal with questions which are not justiciable in character and make rec ommendations in the interests or peaceful settlement. "The function of such a counctl would not be decision, but suggestion and advice. Its recommendations, in the nature of things, would not be binding. The nations would still be free to act according to their own view of national policy, but the provi sion of this instrumentality would fa cilitate reflection, discussion ana per suasion in dealing with that large class of questions which are the most frequent occasion of strife." AMTSKMKXTS SWEET POTATOES ARE NEGLECTED FOOD SOURCE Demand Would Be Greatly! Stimulated by Proper Care Sweet Potatoes arc Washington, D. C., May 29. — I Sweet potatoes can be made an im- | portant and cheap source of food, i say specialists in the United States' Department of Agriculture. It is quite j easy to increase the acreage enor-1 mously and the adoption of better, methods of handling and storing I of handling and storing would lm- 1 prove the product to such an ex tent that the demand would be greatly stimulated. Storing sweet potatoes has always been a more difficult problem than producing them. A large part of the southern crop is kept in pits and banks, with the result that probably thirty per cent, of the potatoes de cay and even those which are tit to put on the market do not keep well. Moreover, the pits and banks can not be opened during wet or rainy weather without risk of injuring all the stock in them, so that It is not uncommon for growers to be un able, because of weather conditions, to get out their potatoes at the very time that the market demand for them is greatest. These difficulties can be done away with to a great extent by the use of sweet potato storage houses, the management and construction of which are discussed in detail in Farmers' Bulletin 54 8 of the De partment of Agriculture. Records covering the storage in such build ings of 228,318 bushels of potatoes for an average period of 124 days show the average decay to be only 2.45 per cent. If they were to be adopted generally by growers in the South, it is estimated that at least ten million would be added to the value of the crop each year. Subject to Disease The sweet potato is, however, like practically all other crops, subject to disease in the field as well as to decay in storage. Black rot, scurf and soft rot are found wherever the crop Is grown. Stem rot, foot rot, and other diseases of minor Import ance are severe only in isolated cen ters and, with the exception of foot rot, all the diseases do more damage in the North, where the crop is grown intensively, than in the South. In the North the loss from disease is estimated at from ten to forty per cent, of the annual crop; in the South, including storage diseases, at from ten to twenty per cent. The best methods for the control of the various diseases are discussed in Farmers' Bulletin 714. Partly because of the difference in their ability to resist disease and partly because of market demands, more attention should be paid to the varity of sweet potato grown. For ex ample, Yellow Jerseys, Big Stem Jerseys, Nancy Halls and Early Car olines are particularly susceptible to stem rot, whereas most of the other commercial varieties are more or less resistent. On the other hand, the Yellow and the Big Stem Jer seys, which are dry and mealy when cooked, suit tho northern consumer and are the varieties commonly sold to him. However, the markets of the Central West and West will take the semi-moist varieties such as Nancy Hall and Dooley, if they are properly graded and packed. The highest price paid for carload lots of sweet potatoes on the Chicago market in two successive seasons was for southern grown Nancy Hall. In the South, a moist fleshed potato is preferred. A knowledge of such facts is essential to profitable mar keting of the crop, but at the pres ent time most producers, especially in the South, grow a number of dif ferent varieties in the same field and stor£ them miscellaneously together. The result is unprofitable confusion. Second Truck Crop Even as it is, sweet potatoes are, in point of value, the second most important truck crop in the United States, being exceeded only by Irish potatoes. The production, however, can be increased almost indefinitely for there are millions of acres of cheap cut-over lands in the South well adapted to the crop. By adopt ing the Improvements suggested the demand can be increased?; propor tionately, for an attractive product can then be placed on the market throughout the year instead of for a short season only, as is now the case in many sections. It must be remembered, too, that the value of sweet potatoes as feed for live stock is not yet generally understood. Three to four bushels are the equivalent of a bushel of corn for hogs and in connection with rich concentrates the potatoes are a good feed for cattle. On light soils that produce from 20 to 25 bushels of corn, the same care and attention will return 100 to 200 bushels of sweet potatoes. Finally, it is not unlikely that by artificial drying a product may be obtained which will keep as long as is desir ed and, because of its reduced bulk, may be shipped long distances at a comparatively low cost. Government experiments along this line, however, have not been carried far enough as yet to recommend drying on a com mercial scale. School Notes TECH The annual election of officers for the next year of the Tech Camera Club resulted in the electton of Al vin Hollinger, president; Fred Beecher, vice-president; Charles Herbert, secretary; Edward Wacht man, assistant secretary; Robert Cunningham, treasurer. The past year has been the most successful in the history of the organization. The retiring officers include George Stark, president; Earl Sherk, vice president; Samuel Sherman, secre tary; Fred Haehnlen, treasurer. Open Night Friday AH patrons and friends of the school are* invited to attend the annual open session of the open nights have been very popular in the past, and the parents and friends have the opportunity to see the students at their work in the shops. Final examinations in Junior and senior drawing will be held Friday morning. Regular final exams for the three lower classes will begin June 15. School will close the 22 of June, one week later than last year because of the late start last fall. No Tech students who want to work will be without employment this summer. Authorities of the Pennsylvania Railroad shops have offered to employ every Tech stu dent who desires work. They will be employed on the 55-hour basis with Saturday afternoon as a holi day. Place Wreaths The entire student body, 250 strong, marched to the Boldiers' Monument at Second and State streets, at 2 o'clock this afternoon and placed several wreaths upon the pillar as a tribute to the Dauphin county Civil War veterans. Joseph Todd, a member of the senior class, was In charge of the ceremonies. Sidney Kay. delivered the oration, charging the juniors with carrying out the plans next year. The au dience sang "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner. The Uev. S. W. eHrman delivered the invoca tion. Members of the Faculty and several veterans of the war accom panied the students. The members of the Faculty held a meeting In the library last evening after school to prepare for the final examinations as well as the open session Fviday night.
