Birth control is the basis of the new

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

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."

TUESDAY EVENING,
the feature attraction on the park bill.
The act is well written and well play
ed. Tho comedy lines and situations
are genuine laugh provokers, and are
handled effectively by these artists.
Lou Worth, the minstrel man, pre
sents a monolog under the title of
"The Jolly Black Tar," that kept the
park audience laughing all the time
he was on the stage. The Shattucks
presented a juggling act that was al
together pleasing. Alice Cole, the fe
male tenor, sang several songs that
ualled for numerous encores, and Lil
lian's Dogs proved themselves a well
trained troup of canine performers.
| Mary Pickford's latest picture, "A
(Romance of the Redwoods, will con

this picture's indisputable points of
[merit- is a long one. To begin with.
| scene after scene is a revelation of

[touches are worthy, too, of mention.
I Little Mary in the role of Jenny Law
: rence (the little New England miss
who goes West in search of her only

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
refreshing: vaudeville program.
| The "Seven Little Darlings," well
known to Harrlsburg theater goers,
have a new line of songs and fun
that is sure to please. 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.

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."

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.

' BALFOUR AS A GOLFER
The visit of the British and French
commissions to Washington was
signalized by u complete personal
triumph for Arthur James Balfour, I
the distinguished British minister
for foreign affairs.
Balfour comes very near being an
ideal man. He Is a great statesman,
a great philosopher, ar\d notwlth-j
standing his seventy-odd years, still I
a great athlete. In fact, one of the I
first things he dtf Mr getting on a
friendly footing -with cur President
was to challenge Mr. Wilson to a
game of golf.
Although it Is not well known In
this country, Balfour In his earlier
days probably did more to popular-
Ize golf and tennis among the Brit- I
ish peoples than any other one man. j
j Ho was a star at both and Is still a 1
hard man to beat, even when pitted
I against a youngster.—Cartoons.
