3 BILLION ALIENS MAY LEAVE U. S. AT WAR'S END i In an interview last night on the probable effect of the pres ent war upon immigration, Dr. Frederick C. Howe, United Sta tes Commissioner of Immigra tion, said that not he alone, but the steamship companies, rail roads and bankers from this country generally believe there will be a great exodus of for eigners from this country as soon as the war is over, some placing the estimates as high as 3,000,000 persons. Dr. Howe said: "Many of these are going back to see those of their friends who may be alive and they are going to buy homes It is said the aristocracy of Rus sia owns eight hundred million acres of land and if this, with Poland, is freed, there will be a great new land policy, with many people owning homes. "The message of the literacy test and the embargo on emigra tion placed by the countries of Europe is expected to perman ently check the movement of foreigners to this country which had reached an enormous figure before the war." URGES U. S. TO PROVIDE SEED FOR WAR GARDENS Chancellor Samuel Black Mc- Cormick, of the University of Pittsburgh, director of allied bodies, in a communication to the executive committee of the public safety committee of Penn sylvania, has made some sug gestions to increase the produc tion of farm crops and garden truck during the period of the war. He urges the safety commit tee to appeal to the national government to provide seed as a war measure. He cites one far mer who found that seed would cost $l2OO to plant the portion of his farm that he had planned i for potatoes. The chancellor also suggests that a guarantee of a price for foodstuffs be made to increase the cultivated acreage. A third suggestion is that organized steps be taken to procure farm labor from every available source—men, women and boys, from farcrfs, villages, cities, schools and colleges. PLANT A GARDEN NOW Back yard and vacant lot gar dening today becomes a patriot ic duty. Economic experts, including the Secretary of Agriculture, have announced that the food situation is one of the most im perative issues confronting this country. Military experts say the same thing. The United States can increase its output of munitions and it can recruit men, much more readily than it can increase its food supply.— Washington (D. C.) Star. Plant onions, lettuce, and peas as soon as the ground is fit to work. Onion seed, planted four inches apart in rows 8 to 10 in. apart will mature nice onions by fall. Beans and sweet com can be planted about May 20. Plant potatoes May 15 to June 15 in rows 3 feet apart and about 14 inches apart in the row. Chicken manure is a good fer tilizer for lettuce, sweet corn and cabbage, but must not come in close contact with the growing plant and should be worked in and mixed with the soil. Prices of all vegetables will be high for another year at least. Do your bit and have free vege tables of your own if it is only from a garden ten feet square. DEATHS OF A WEEK IN THE COUNT i.

At least three-fourths of the acci dents that occur In mountaineering are the results of foolhardiness. More than half of the entire num ber of accidents happen to persons climbing without guides, some to climbers attempting a dangerous or impossible route with guides, and there are still omer forms of folly. One may carelessly engage an Incom petent guide or an overbold one, who will undertake an ascent under unfa vorable conditions. Eliminating these contingencies, there remain certain risks which must be taken by every climber who ascends difficult mountains. However fine the weather, there is the possibility that a sudden storm may render the descent perilous, though even then the chances are ten to one that a skillful climber with first class guides will return in safety. Furthermore, on certain mountains there are places where a party is ex posed to danger from avalanches or falling stones. The risk may often be reduced to the minimum by waiting for the best of weather or by making a very early start—All Outdoors. Our Humorists. All we can say is that we hope any given humorist of ours will live out the greatest length of days and not stop joking before he dies. We need every moment of his threescore years and ten to keep us sane and kind, and we cannot be satisfied with a stinted measiire of time for him. When be gins tinsurpassably to delight the world our national pride as well as our hu man need is bound up in his continu ance. Fossibly we are going from bad to worse, as we have always been, but we think we have been kept from the worst by the humorist's smile, not by the satirist's frown. Other races, oth er lands abound in songs and sermons, but we have sent our laughter over the world to save it alive more than any thing else could.—W. D. Howells in Harper's Magazine. "Undertakers." In England in 1614 undertakers were men of influence who undertook for a consideration to get such persons re turned to parliament as would prove submissive to the royal will of King James I. The three chief undertakers of 1614 were Lords Bacon, Somerset and Neville. Then there were under takers in Ireland in 1608. They were English and Scotch colonists sent to north Ireland and were each allotted 2,000 acres of land. They were men of capital and undertook to pay a mark a year for every six acres and to ad mit no recusant for tenants; hence the name as applied to them. But neither the histories nor the dictionaries give any reason for calling the men who bury our dead undertakers. SIMPLE WAY TO TEST CREAM French Scientist Has Given to the World a Discovery That Is of Distinct Value. Professor Lindet of the French Agronomic institute has given to the Academy of Agriculture a very simple process for calculating rapidly the quantity of fatty matter in cream. It is the fatty matter that gives cream its quality, the more of this butter the better the cream. This Is the process: ' A drop of cream is placed upon a sheet of paper and introduced at once Into an oven heated to 105 degrees centigrade. The watery part of the cream evaporates and the fat, ab sorbed by the paper, forms a spot whlcn enlarges rapidly at first, then more slowly as the edges of the spot Increase their distance from the point at which the drop has been placed. At the end of a specified time the area of the spot is measured and compared with that of a spot formed by a drop of pure grease of the same size de posited at the same time and under Identical conditions. Professor Lindet uses drops of 1-100 of a cubic centimeter in size, and places his paper in wooden frames to prevent It from curling up in the oven. He removes it before the spots have spread to more than three or four centimeters In diameter. Modern Version.
