PAGE TWO THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1912. FEDERAL HELP FOR THE FARMER Department ot Agriculture to Demonstrate In North. COUNTRY TO BE DIVIDED, Plans UncJor Way For Similar Work In All Sections Co-operation of the , States Local Governments to Do ! Most of Experimenting. I Demonstration work on the northern farms will Ik- started by tin? depart ment of agriculture this summer. This is Hie outgrowth of the work started In the south by the late Dr. S. A. Ktmpp. The demonstration work now embraces about 00.000 southern farms. There has been a persistent call for similar work In the uorth. and the de partment of agriculture has derided to work out a comprehensive plan for the. wh 'it- country. In a jreneral w:i the country vill be divided Into live sections. T.ies will lo the north Atlantic, the south At lantic, the north central, tin- south central and the western. The-v so? tlons will be under a section superin tendent and an assistant, both of whom will be ns high prade sclent Hie farmers as the department can pro cure. These live main sections of the country will bo divided Into districts, each covering more than one st.ite. The district work will be under ono federal officer. Under him will come the state and county superintendents and apents. who will be state olllclals. States to Do the Work. Many of the states have already ar ranged to co-operate with the federal government in the demonstration work nnd have made appropriations and ar ranged for the counties to raise funds. Congress has been so much Impressed by the outlook that It appropriated $50,000 in the house to aid this work, and when the bill went to the senate SGr.ooo more was added. With the original money this will make about ?2ro.000 available tills year. The federal government Is going to aim at having as much of the actual work as possible done by the states and counties. The department of agri culture 1ms solved many problems gen em lly affect tun wide regions and will work on more of the same sort, but when it comes down to dealing with stM'e :;nd local conditions the work v!'l be left to the state and county officials. The problem of demonstration farm, lug will be harder and more complicat ed in the north than It was in the south. There it wns largely a case of introducing diversified fanning to make up for the ravages of the cotton boll weevil. But In the north there Is al ready diversified farming, nnd theio will be the quest Ions of labor, both hu man and animal; crop rotation, inten sive cultivation and n lot of scientific details such as the department has been Working out for a long time, but lias seldom had a chance to try on an extensive scale under real field condi tions. May Eliminate Alkali. One of the important features for ex periment In the western neetlon Is the elimination of alkali from irrigated land. Ever since irrigation began to be practiced In the west there has been trouble with alkali. In some sections it is worse than others, but the gener al experience of farming communities is that there Is nlwuys more or less trouble with alkali after a long term of Irrigation farming. An Important piece of information was found by Professor Swingle of the department in n recent visit to Spuln. There he found ono section of the country where irrigation had been practiced ever since settlement and where there was no alkali trouble. The explanation seemed to be in the fact that there was a very small supply of water available for the land to be worked and the farmers had to stretch each spoonful of water to the utmost duty. This gave a clew to the most of the trouble In the west, which seems to bo simply too much water. The liabli in this country is to be wasteful and to go to extremes with everything, ami It appears that the use of water In irrigation Is no exception. It is thought that by following the line of the Span lards In the more economical use of water not only can the same amount of water be made to serve a great deal more bind, but much of the alkali trou. ble can be obviated. TAFT NAMES WOMAN CHIEF. Miss Lathrop of Chicago to Head New Children's Bureau, Miss Julia C. Lathrop of Chicago, an associate of Juue Addams in the work at Hull House, a member of the Illi nois board of charity nnd a graduate and trustee of Vassar college, has been appointed by President Tuft ns chief of tho new children's bureau in the de partment of commerce und labor. MIsn Lathrop is tho first woman to be made a bureau chief in the govern ment service. Demand For the Yucatan Chicle. There Is a great and opening demand for tho Yucutan chicle, a kind of wood which resists decay to a wonderful de gree. It is particularly In demand for railway ties, dm it lasts an irideflnlto time la tho ground. Tho gum of tho tree Is made into chewing gum. I hints foh thi: amatkuh j ON TUIMMINO HATS. , To try the. general effect of a certain color or modo of trimming, thcro is no plan to equal trimming with tissue pnnor. This Is n plan fol lowed oven by professional milliners abroad. Once tlio lint lias been lifted by Its bandeau and lined, tho mock trimming is made of colored tlssuo paper, which tho homo milliner crushes nnd pinches roughly into tho form of hows and rosettes, garlands of ilowers or single blossoms, and pins these In position on tho hat. Instead of crushing ribbon hope lessly by trying the effect of a largo Hat bow, a chou, a rosette, or a "wing" of ribbon, tho colored tlssuo paper Is folded into tho requislto shape, nnd is shifted and regulated on the hat until it is made to as sume the most 'becoming angle. Only then is tho real bow or "wing" made of ribbon, or tho Ilowers tied Into bunches, and arranged on the exact spot previously occupied by the pa per. This plan cnnbles tho wearer to discover the spring tone of her com plexion. She will find that if her eyes are hazel, she will probably look well with a green or a greenish-blue. Possibly, too, her hazel eyes will bo set off to good advantage by a soft Japanese blue. Blue eyes look tholr best In combination with an exact match in the Ilowers or ribbon of tho hnt, while Hie hidden tone in a "lack-luster" brown eye can often too brought out by a touch of orange in tho trimming or by a deep burst orange straw. Mack eyes, on the contrary, can stand any vivid shade close to tho face. Unless tho complexion Is very brilliant, the all-black hat is not, however, nearly so successful as it would he if tho eyes are light. Some faces need the softness of outline moro than others. A frill of lace a cap Inside the brim of ten makes a face more youthful, while it lias the opposite effect on some. To most people, a narrow edging of velvet around the brim has a becoming effect. With black velvet too hard a line may he drawn in some Instances, and In the case of a straw-colored hat. a tiny fold of velvet In the same tone may provide all that Is necessary. The woman who makes a point of trimming her own hats, winter and summer, does well if she provides herself with a "matching ball" like the dressmakers of the day, who make a special study of color and tone alliance. For her ball, she sets aside a little piece of every bit of ribbon or silk which she uses in millinery, dress making, fancy work. Dedication of Monument at Harri nian, X. Y. On the morning of May 2 next, a monument indicating the spot where tho first telegraphic train or der was sent in the Morse Code over a commercial wire will bo dedicated. The monument is located a short distance west of the new station at Harriman, X. Y., on the south side of the eastbound track. The train order was transmitted in 1851, when Charles Mlnot, Gen eral Superintendent of the Xew York & Erie 'Railroad, sent the fol lowing message: "To Agent and Operator at Goshen. Hold the train for further orders. Conductor and Engineer, Day Express. Run to Goshen regardless of opposing train." The bronze tablet, which is six feet high by three feet three inches wide, was designed by Mr. Chas. Keck, of Xew York, tho well-known sculptor. On its face is inscribed "From this station, Charles Mlnot, General Superintendent, Xew York & Erie Railroad, 1851, issued the first train order transmitted by telegraph"; the order given above follows. At the top of tho tablet, encircled toy a wreath, is a vignette of Mr. Mlnot. At the bottom ap pears the following; "This taJblet was erected in Xovember 1911 un der the auspices of tho Association of Railway Telegraph Superintend ents, and tho Old Time Telegraphers and Historical Association." Tho stone from which the monument is cut was quarried from tho moun tains of tho Harriman estate at Ar den, near Harriman, and is tho gift of "Mrs. E. iH. Harriman, widow of tho late E. H. Harriman, who also paid for tho cost of cutting. The project of erecting this monu ment has been under way for tho past two years, during which time the committee, of which Mr. E. P. Griffith, superintendent of Tele graph, Erie Railroad, Is chairman, has been receiving contributions from prominent railroad and tele graph officials all over the land to defray the cost other than that of tho monument itself; in fact, the call for voluntary contributions has been responded to by persons in all departments of tho railroad and tel egraph industries. i.V special train will be run to Harriman leaving Jersey City at 10:30 a. m. Luncheon will bo serv ed on train returning at conclusion of the dedication. IIK.'II DEATH HATE. During tho mouths of January, February and 'March, liSIi persons, including 135 employes, 3 passeng ers, 110 trespassers and 31 othors, woro killed on tho steam railroads of tho state, according to data com piled by the State Railroad Commis sion. These tlgures show an Increaso of 17 killed as compared with tho siirao tlireo months of 1011. Tho number Injured was 2577, or an increaso over tho same months a year ago of 710, whllo of tho total number injured U174 were employes, 2'2'J passengers, 107 trespassers and C7 others.

JOURNALISM SCHOOL PLANS Complete Course ot Study Will Cover Four Years, ' , INSTRUCTION DEGINS SEPT. 25 Tuition Fees Will Be $180 a Year Ad vanced Students Are to Spend Part of Their Vacation at Work In Newn paper Offices. The preliminary announcement of the plan nnd scope of the school of Journalism at Columbia university, Xew York, established by the bequest of Joseph Pulitzer, was made public by tho advisory and administrative boards. On Sept. 25 Instruction will be begun with a complete program of study In all four years of the under graduate work. Degrees of bachelor of literature In the course of journalism will be grant ed to graduates of the new school, but provision lias also been made for "non mntrlculnted" students who may spe cialize In some of the courses, getting credits that can later be applied to ward a degree. Four years of stand ard high school work comprise the re quirements for matriculated admis sion. Of the course itself the an nouncement says; To Add Specialized Courses. "The curriculum for the 15. Lit. de gree has two main objects In view to give the students a sound general education, and to give specialized tech nical training which will fit them for beginning the practice of their profe eion. For reasons of weight a student will be nllowed to draw up his own curriculum. "In a few years it is hoped that many specialized courses will be added, but it has been decided to make a be ginning with the following typical cur rlculum, in which equivalent substitu tions may be made from tho course now offered at Columbia University or to be established in the School of Jour nalism after the opeulng of the new building. FIRST YEAR Hours. Introductory courso in English 3 Newspaper French or German H Natural science, general courso 2 Epochs ot history 3 American politics and Government : Introduction to philosophy; a lanituage or a sclnece 3 SECOND YEAR. Journalism (A), a practice courso In writing 3 Economics, Introductory course ! General survey ot English literature .1 General survey ot American literature.. . Laboratory course In modern European history, based on current European ' newspapers 4 American history, general survey " THIRD YEAR. Journalism (D), a continuation of Jour nalism (A) 3 Newspaper technic, newsgathcring and preparation of copy 3 Modern European literature 3 Statistics, government reports, etc. (first half year), social and Industrial his tory (second half year) 3 American political parties and platforms 3 Special lectures 1 FOURTH YEAR. History of Journalism 3 Newspaper technic and laboratory work 7 Elements of law, with Bpeclal reference to the law of libel 3 Labor and trust problems 3 Must Master French and German. "It is Intended In future years," the announcement continues, "to provide for other udvnuced and specialized courses in municipal government, finance and banking, music, fine arts, literature, magazine -work, religious, technical and scientific journalism, and similar subjects. "Students who have time are strong ly recommended to take the combiued A, B. or B. Sc. and B. Lit Such stu dents will receive tho degree of A. IS. or B. Sc., after completing four years' academic work two In the college and two In the school of journalism and the degree of B. Lit. after live years" work two In the college nnd three In the school. Students who have already taken a bachelor's degree at Columbia or another university, und have passed with credit through courses which will fit them for the final year's work, will be allowed to take the B. Lit. In one year, on the completion of such studies as may be necessary In the opinion of the director, subject to the approval of the administrative board." Perhaps the most interesting part of tho announcement comes in this con cluding paragraph: Tuition $180 a Year. "All students will bo expected to do their exercises In tho professional courses on tho typewriter, nnd In the new building facilities for this pur pose will be afforded. In the courses on politics, economies nnd modem his tory, extensive use will bo made of newspapers ns courses of information, and newspaper reading -will form an Important part of the training in the French nnd German courses of the first year. Every student will be required to show that ho can read a French or German newspaper before receiving his degree, and in general this condi tion must bo satisfied beforo he enters on tho professional studies of the sec ond year." It has been found necessary to close tho rolls of the school ns quickly os possible, as not more than seventy flvo students can bo taken care of. Tho tuition fees of tho school will be (180 a year. The ten weeks' vacation between the third und fourth years must bo spent, If possible, In actual newspaper work. Why Dirty Dishes Aro Dangerous. Tho edgo of a razor appears to tho oyo to bo a perfectly straight, smooth line. But look at It undor n mlcro scopo nnd you will sco that It Is rcnlly rough and Jagged llko a flno tooth saw. In tho suno way a dish scorns to prcsont a perfectly smooth, unbrok en surfneo. But look at It under a mlcroscopo and you will see a multi tude of tiny cracks, llttlo hollows In tho surface and mlnuto Haws whore a 'bit of the porcolaln hns boon chipped. Tho moro a dish has been used tho moro surface Haws there arc. Theso flaws" aro tho homo and In cubator of tho dlsoaso germs. It has been demonstrated that a chipped placo only one-hundredth of nn Inch squaro will harbor many hundreds of typhoid bncllll. Cracks In dishes or glasses that aro so largo as to bo vis ible to tho unassisted oyo harbor thousands of all kinds of germs. Tho Xbw York Board of Health re cently collected cracked crockery from various restaurants nnd found ln tho cracks numbers of malignant bacilli. Any ornamentation upon tho handles of cutlery provide tho samo breeding grounds, and tills Is why it Is best to have only perfectly plain knives, forks and spoons. Disease germs live through any thing except poisons or a long im mersion In boiling water, and tltey are not much disturbed 'by freezing. If any member of tho family has tuberculosis, or Is suffering from grippe, pneumonia, sore throat or any of tho contagious diseases, tho only safeguard Is to boll the dishes, knives and forks that the person has used. "Whigs" in History. The party In the colonies which promoted am' backed tho revolution took the name Whigs. Their prin ciples were the samo as thoso of the Whigs of England, only they wore made applicable to this country. In 1834 tho name was revived, tho Fed eral party having come to an end In 1S17. From that time all American politicians were simply Republicans, nut soon different views were held by tho various members of tho party with the results that factions were formed under their own leaders. Adams, Clay and their followers be lieved in a policy of protection and federal internal Improvements and a broad or loose construction of the constitution. Othors, who construed the constitution strictly, opposed these things and found a leader In Jackson. Tho former took tho name of Xatlonal Republicans. After his defeat their chief leader was Clay, whom they nominated for president in 1831. Their opposition to Jack son drew to them various elements and as opponents of executive usurp ation, in 1834 the coalition took the old name of Whigs. Tho Whig body always formed a coalition rather than a party, there being two divis ions, tho northern and southern Whigs. Looks Like Business. A United States recruiting sta tion will bo opened at Carbondale, at Xo. 14 Xorth Main street, April 29. The branch will remain open until May 7. Applicants for the rating of Boil ermaker, Coppersmith, machinist, fireman, coal-passer, apprentice sea man, and men for the hospital and clerical branches, will bo enlisted in tho naval service. A sixty dollar outfit of clothing is given to all recruits on first en listment, and all transportation ex penses after enlistment aro paid by the government. Xo one under seventeen can be en listed in the U. S. Xavy, and those under eighteen must havo their parents' or guardian's consent, In writing, in order to get tho benofits a navy life offers. Divers Cannot Work on tho Titanic. Several people believe that divers could descend to tho wreck of the Titanic, but the following data will explain why this would bo impos sible. Tho greatest depth a divor has yet gone is a llttlo over 200 feet, at 204 feot tho water pressuro Is 88 1. pounds per squaro Inch. If the wreck or tho Titanic is two miles be low tho surface, tho diver would havo to sustain a pressure of 4, COO pounds per squaro Inch. As the area exposed of tho average diver Is about 720 square Inches, tho total pressuro ho would have to sutsaln would bo 3.312,000 pounds, or 1.C5G tons. "THE TITANS." Richard J. Beamish, a former Scranton journalist, has paid this trlbuto to tho heroes or the Titanic in the Philadelphia Press: "And most who drowned were men." TIs good to read These strong lair words. They toll of manhood tried. Of thoso who saw tho weak ones safe, then died. Rake muck, sneer slurs. You can't paint black the breed That smiled at Death in that heroic deed. Poor men forgot their lot; tho rich, their pride. Like gods, they struggled o'er tho rising tide For others' lives; their own, thoy scorned to heed. Then kindly Night shut out their tragedy, God send tho word to flamo their message through Tho grieving world: "For Inasmuch as yo Help thus My helpless ones, yo help Mo." They sleep whore Love and Death both found them truo, Their namos as deathless as their shrine, tho sea. Parcels Post Favored by nouso. Washington.

BOY SCOUTS EDITED BY ONE OF THEM Srnuta Are Brothers, Tho good qualities of scoutcraft aro Lieutenant General Sir Robert S. S. Hadon-Powell In tho following statoment: "Thon there is tho fellow shlp you get into by becoming a Scout. Scouts aro 'brothors wher ever they meet nil over the world. Thoy have tholr signs by which they rocognlzo ono another and they aro helpful and hospitable to all. A scout would give you tho best of Tils food and accommodation, but ho would not expect you to pay him any moro than ho would expect you to spit in his face for it. A scout will sacrifice ills life to save his 'pal,' or oven to sav a stranger, for the mat ter of that especially If tho stranger Is a woman or a child. But tho Joy of the life or a scout Is the living In tho woods under the animals that Inhabit them. Ho gets to know tho wnys ot tho beasts and tholr where abouts iby reading their tracks. Ho can find his way by the map In a strango country. With his keen sight ho sees everything, both far and near, boforo tho slow-eyed towns man has noticed anything. Ho has enilurahco that enables him to run down his game or to escapo from fnst-running enemies; and ho can stalk, or creep or hide where tho or dinary lout would be seen at once. Ho can build his hut, or boat or bridge, which means the use of the axe and a knowledge of knots and of course he can light his fire and cook his 'grub' and make himself gener ally handy and comfortable."
