SEEN and HEARD around the NATIONAL CAPITAL By Carter Field \ Washington.—Brazil’s cotton acre age this year will exceed by 3Tt per eent that of Inst year. Her spec tacular increase of cotton produc tion will continue, despite confi dence at the Department of Com merce and the White House thnt last year’s crop failure “down un der" proves Brazil is not a menace to the South on cotton production. Expert cotton men Just back front Brazil Insist that last year’s rains in that country, which result ed In only a l,400.00tl-acre crop being harvested, were Just ns ab normal for Brazil as the drouth in this country. Conditions last year in Brazil were more abnormal, If anything, they say, because the conditions In what President Roose velt calls the “buffalo grass" coun try are still a menace through dust storms, whereas there is nothing comparable to that In Brazil All of which Is terribly Important In view of the present threshing • bout In administration and farm circles over a substitute for the AAA program. There Is no doubt In the minds of experts who have studied the situation cold-bloodedly that the AAA system of holding up the price of cotton by curtailing American production was simply bolding an umbrella ever Brazil while she developed into a great cotton producing country. Brazil can produce very good cot ton and sell it for « cents a pound, with an excellent return to the fanners and every one handling It. Bot her Increase in production might have been very slow had it not been for the stimulus—amount ing to a bonus and prizes—extend ed by the United States not only forcing i»i» the price, but removing a huge fraction of the export crop. Secretary of Commerce Roper and other administration officials pooh poohed successfully this idea of a Brazilian menace until the Saturday Evening Post sent a cot ton exjiert to Brazil last year. Ills articles occasioned some alarm, but Just as they were beginning to stir up some of the cotton people came the news that there had been a crop failure in Brazil. Tills “fail ure" was occasioned by the rains. Brazilians Make Money But the experts Just back, In talking with this writer, say that every one In Brazil who had any cotton to sell at all made money, and tha\ there is no sign whatever that any farmer who has tried cot ton Intends to give It up. On the contrary, the Brazilians are so gen erally extending their cotton acre age that the estimate of Incrense over last year’s Is now 35 per cent. One of tlie most serious effects on New England and Southern tex tile industries Is the tendency of American mill owners to establish plants In Bras’l, especially for their export trade. Johnson and John son Is one outfit that has done so. The growth of the Southern tex tile Industry has plnyed havoc with new England mills for years, large ly because labor was a little cheap er In t|ie South. Now along comes the threat of mills In Brn7.il to menace both New England and the South, with labor cheaper than either can obtain, and with what seems to be an assured supply of cotton at very low prices. So far no one Inside the admin istration has seemed to realize what this Brazilian menace means. Officials Ignored for several years reports of American consuls tell ing of the spread of the cotton In dustry in Brazil. Last year offi cials also Ignored reports from consuls In England that mills there were changing their looms, with u view to using Brazilian instead of American cotton. So there Is no indication that any attention will be paid the present problem In working out the substi tute for AAA. New Farm Program No doubt seems to exist tlmt President Itoosevelt will get square ly back to the soli conservation subterfuge for paying the farmers of the country the rough equivalent of what they were getting under the now outlawed AAA farm benefit plan. Nor that he will back the levying of excise taxes, which will be very similar to those just ruled out. In fact, there seems little doubt that the new furiu program will go through whooping. There Is a great deal of doubt as to its constitutionality. Most law yers here believe It Is Just as far In excess of the real powers of the federal government, as granted to the central government by the states through the Constitution, as the AAA plan, with one exception. That Is with respect to the taxes. If congress levies the new taxes as straight-out excise levies, no one doubts they will stand. Everybody will know that the object Is to raise enough money to pay the farmers the equivalent of the old farm benefits, but the law Impos ing the taxes will not say so. Nor will it grant anyone discretion to change them. There la no qneanon of delegating power, as congress did to the Triple A In that act. But when It comes to paying a farmer so much a year to let such and such a proportion of his acres lie fallow, or grow up In pasture, on the theory that this Is preserv ing soil fertility, when as a matter of fact everybody*. Including the justices of the Supreme court, will know that the real objective Is to curtail a very definite percentage of crop production, that Is. some thing else again. In the opinion of many lawyers, that goes a long way out on the limb of the general wel fare clause of the Constitution—so far that the limb may break. Just Another Phase ltoosevelt's Idea of removing all the "buffalo gras*” country from cultivation 1* another phase of the problem. This Is the territory from the panhandle of Texas np to Mon tana, Including the western por tions of the Dakotas, Nebraska. Kansas and Oklahoma. It Is land which most agricultural experts agree should never have been plowed. Its cultivation, plus the drouth, produced tlse dust storms. Yet with modern machinery, cheap lund, and hnge farms It lends Itself to cheap mass production of crops. But this part of the program Is not the politically Important part. It would not put money In the hands of farmers 1n other sections, nor In the populous parts of the states Involved. Small checks to many farmers, rather thnn large checks to a few farmers, Is the Im portant thing politically. Then there is another question. It is highly improbable that the new plan can be passed on by the Supreme court before the election day. Nor is there any certainty that it could be gotten before I lie Supreme court at all. In the AAA case, the conrt Indicated that no taxpayer could bring the suit un-j less he could demonstrate that he was being badly hurt by the tax. This time, owing to the fact that the tuxes will tie of the struight out excise variety, with no author ity delegated to change them and with no tie-up between the amount of the tax and the object desired (crop reduction In the AAA plan; crop reduction via soil conservation In the new plan) lawyers here do not believe it would he ns simple for some badly hurt Industry to get its case before the courts. , Nnturnlly, such an organization ns the Liberty league might be tre mendously Interested, not to men tion the Republican pnrty. The lat ter, however, would be deterred be cause It would not want to throw a boomerang. All of which leaves doubt cloud ing the whole picture. Causes Irritation There Is considerable irritation at the White House over the wuy senators and representatives ure pawing over the proposed neutral ity luw. “Storm cellar buys" Is the popular phrase around the ex ecutive office^ und in the State de partment for the school following Senutor Herald P. Nye, which would remove all discretion w hatever from the President the moment war broke out anywhere In the world, and clamp airtight embargoes on a Mode and Persian list of commod ities which might not be shipped. There Is almost ns much resent ment against the Borah school, which holds that the "freedom of the sens," for which doctrine our country fought one well-remem bered and one mostly forgotten war, must never be surrendered. There is no proposal to surren der the freedom of the seas, State department officials Insist. The rule, they say, would merely be suspend ed in time of war. It Is on all fours, they point out, with the Inallenuble right of a pedestrian to cross a pub lic highway. That right Is not sur rendered when the pedestrian waits for a speeding automobile to go by. The pedestrian retains his rights, and also his life. It is against the strait-jacket ad vocates, however, thnt the White House is most bitter. It is not much worried by Senator Borah’s ar. guments. Neutrality Law In fact, it Is tills very sentiment which handicaps President ltoose velt and Secretary of State Hull In getting the neutrality law framed as they would like It—investing most of the power and discretion In the President. There Is strong support out In the country, as man ifested not only by letters to Cap itol Hill, but communications to the White House, In favor of shutting off exports of every sort, which would be useful in prosecuting war, to all belligerents the moment war starts. The argument appears again and again in letters that every ounce of discretion written Into the hill contributes Just that much to the nation that thinks It suffers from the exercise of that discretion regarding the United States as an enemy. Meanwhile the actions of Sena tors Nye and Clark In attempting to throw mud on the memory of Woodrow Wilson Is little short of flabbergasting to their colleagues. The objects of each are obvious. Ben nett Clark’s animus against the war President goes back to the Baltimore convention, when al though his father, Champ Clark, had won most of the Presidential primaries and had the most dele gates, Wilson, with the assistance of William Jennings Bryan, was nominated.

HOUGH barely 738 square miles In area anti with fewer than 825,000 people, the Saar has been one of Europe’s most pub licized regions since the World war. Powder keg of Europe; witches’ caldron; political sore spot. For years such graphic labels have been tacked onto this small but highly Industrialized region lying north of Alsace-Lorraine between France and Germany. From the days of Attila and the Caesars down to Foch and Von Hlndenburg, Its valleys and wooded hills have rocked and echoed to the tramp and shouts of marching armies. Geographically, the Saar is an ir regular patch of hilly land crossed by small valleys. It lies alongside Luxembourg, forms a buffer state between France and Germany, and was cut from the two German states of Prussia and Bavaria With a population about equal to thut of Boston proper, it shelters more than 1,000 people per square mile—one of the most densely set tled areas in all Europe. Only such miniature European states as Andora, Liechtenstein, San Marino and Monaco are smaller than this tiny, yet dynamic coun try. America knows no state so dwarfish. Delaware Is about three times the Saar’s size, yet has less than a third its population. Saarbrucken, metropolis of the Hnnr, hns only 132,100 people; yet In one year Saar trains haul 00,000, 000 passengers! Sit In any stuffy cafe at Saar brucken, watch the guests eat red cabbage and boiled pork, or sip fat steins of beer ns the band plays heavy Wagner music, and the place seems Just another German indus trial center. But look into Its eventful annals, or make a careful trip about Its historic roods and ruins, and you find a land with a past peculiar to Itself. Saar Problem in Caesar’s Time. There was, in fact, a Saar prob lem even in Roman times, when blond men from the east of the Rhine already had invaded this basin. In Caesar’s “Commentaries” you read of these early German settlers. One Roman report of the time says that 120,000 barbarians, enamored of Gaul, had settled here. Caesnr feured these Germnns might menace Rome itself; so he helped the Gauls drive them back across the Rhine. Ills battles on the Alsne and elsewhere were pre cursors of centuries of lighting along the Rhine. some Homan military muds here abouts are shown on the Peuting^r map of about 200 A. D. One ran north from Argentoratum (now Strasbourg) to the Saar basin. About this same time the Homans built a castle at a point on the Saar river where it was bridged by their military road from Paris to Mainz. Saarbrucken was so named, mean ing “Saar Bridge.” Dense forests choked all the ba sin then, forests frequented by heathen druids, by wild Celtic tribes who hunted deer and boars with spears. Scattered ruins of men hirs, dolmens and cromlechs, sym bols of the druid cult, have been found In the Saar forests. Itomnn ruins nre there—if you dig—ruins of villas, of baths and bridges, some almost In the shadow of early Christian churches. At Tholey is a church that dates from the Thirteenth century. In sharp contrast, near Saarbrucken is a mosque built by the French dur ing the World war, wherein their Moroccan soldiers might pray! Long Held by Germans. Strategically, the Saar lies on a natural route between France anil Germany, and for centuries they have disputed as to where their boundary lines should be fixed. Soon after the break up of Char lemagne's empire, and the Treaty of Verdun, In 843, the Saar became Germnn soil. Briefly, for more than a thou sand years prior to the Versailles treaty, Germany held the Saar, ex cept for two short periods, the sec ond being the years from 1703 to 1815, when Napoleon pushed the French frontier to the Rhine. When Blucher and his Prussians advanced Into France In 1813, he followed the very route taken by the German hordes when the Itoman empire fell. It was so In the Franco-Prussian war; Von Moltke, In 1870, followed Blucher’s route of lSl.'l, and about Saarbrucken came one o? the first clashes of that war which Helped Bismarck to found his German em pire. Again, of course. In the World war, the armies passed this way, and many an allied soldier washe.d his shirt in the Saar, the Moselle and the Ithine, or traded cigarettes and white bread to willing fraulelns for a Jug of wine. Fly over Saarlouls, wlier* Mar shal Ney was born, and In Its very heart you see the outline of the old forts built by Louis XIV of France. Dating, as a town, from 1G80, Its people lived for more than 200 years almost wholly by trading with the garrisons—first French, then Ger man, then French again. Today old walls and moats that encircled the fort have been torn down and filled to make broad, smooth streets, as the Americans did with parts of Manila. German Infantry, artillery, cav alry, army wagons—all the money spending machinery of war—made Saarlouls a busy town until after the World war. When they evacu ated, the French came In for a while; but now few occupants are found for all the vast barracks. It Is quiet, almost too quiet, for those residents who remember the band concerts, the glittering re views, and fat army pny rolls of other dnys. k French Are Scarce These. German in race, speech, culture, and traditions, the Saar showed hy a pre-war census only about one person In 200 with French as his native tongue. It was simply a le gal accident at Versailles which made these people citizens, tempo rarily, of a phantom state. The Saar, under that treaty, gained no nationality, no president or other ruler of Its own. Instead, a com mission of five Europeans was numed by the League of Nations to administer the territory’s affairs until the plebiscite. Hy treaty the Saar went under a customs union with France; French customs guards were set to patrol the line between Germany and the Saar and French money was put into use. To pay France for her own coal mines damaged by Germans In the World war, she was given the coal mines In the Saar. The treaty provided also that after the plebiscite Germany might buy these mines back again If she wished, and such an agreement was concluded late In 1934. Only around Saarlouis is any French Influence noticeable, and that Is not due to the presence there of many living Frenchmen. Such in fluence belongs to the past—Vau ban's old forts built when Louis XIV made this a French garrison town; French names and epitaphs in the cemetery; and an odd local dialect current among older resi dents. a curious blend of German and French. To see how thoroughly German the region is, in speech and sen timent, you have only to mingle with any holiday crowd and listen to the songs, the speeches, and the music; or read the papers; or see what crowds follow broadcasts from the radio stations at Frank furt and Stuttgart. Industry Is Intensive. As In the Ruhr, Industry here is compact, intensive, and theatrical in its setting. Like volcanoes, its giant mills, as at Volkllngen (2o0,264), belch forth clouds of thick gray smoke; the red glare of blast furnaces turns black night into brilliant Gehenna. Under every hill is coal. Over every mine is a big wheel on a tow er; again and again you see the big wheel spin, as it winds up a cable that lifts its load from deep in the earth. This is the only place on earth where you see mines and steel mills closely crowded by forests, as if bits of Industrial Pittsburgh were set in one of our forest reserves. The wooded slopes of the winding Saar river all covered with snow much resemble Algonquin park in Ontario in winter; it seems the woods must be as dense and mys terious as when druids built their sacrificial altars there and hungry pagun Celts searched for wild meat. GOLDEN PHANTOMS fascinating b* Tales of rditha l. Watson Lost Mines ©• « ». JUAN CARLOS’ GOLD A SPANIARD named Juan Carlos came from the South Into the San Luis valley a long time ago. He came with many peons, and they drove a pack train loaded with sjich things as books and manuscripts. Possibly gold was also a part of the cargo, for Juan Carlos had gold dust In profusion, and was very liberal with it. Each year for three years, this strange man disappeared on the first day of May and returned on the last day of October. Where he went, and why, no one ever knew. At last some of the Mexicans who lived thereabouts tried to follow him, but to their dismay he saw them, and turned hack. He stayed at home after that. In 1868, Oarlos hired some of the most Ignorant of the Mexicans thereabouts to build some large adobe houses at the side of the San Luis lakes. He paid them in the usual gold dust, and ordered them away as soon as the buildings were completed. They went, it Is said, all but two of the least Intelligent, who stayed by request. These men no one ever saw again. Their families, who came at last to Inquire for them, were told that they had received their pay and de parted with the rest. But the Mex ican people will not have it so— they say that Carlos caused the two to do some secret work and then had them killed lest they reveal It. But what work, and what secret, no one can tell. Then Juan Carlos died. Within the year two of the Mexicans In the valley became suddenly wealthy, and bought large herds of sheep and cattle. They claimed that they had made this money in government con tract work near Santa Fe, but no one believed them. Perhaps they did not even believe themselves. The houses near the lakes were used as late as 1885 by hunters who gathered there to shoot water fowl. Apparently their walls harbored no secret, so it Is not known what the two Mexicans had been hired to do. And the source of Juan Carlos’ gold? That Is still a mystery. It is thought that possibly it may be the place discovered by Kit Carson. Stewart, and Archuleta, when they camped by the ltlo Grande on their way with messages to San Fran cisco. In a little stream which ran Into the river they saw considerable gold, and panned enough to sell la San Francisco for $87. When the party came back, they passed that way again, but they tried In vain to find that shining little stream. There Is another story about this trip which goes Into greater detail. According to this legend a pack mule fell Into the water and Stew art and one other man had to stay at this place while the pack was dried out. Stewart saw the gold and panned some of It to pass the time. He wrote the location down In a little book, but unfortunately the book was later destroyed in a fire. Stewart went to Old Mexico and did not return until he was an old man, when he tried to revisit the scene, but could not find it. Whichever of these stories, If either. Is the true one. It is said fur ther that an old prospector and a buffalo hunter put their heads to gether later and followed out every clew to the place that they could discover. They found the general location without a doubt, but flood waters had caused a landslip of half a mile in length, and the little stream had vanished. • • • THE SOMBRERO MINE WHEN Apaches were making the Southwest a place of dan ger for white men, a band of Chirl cahuas raided Janos, Sonora, and captured a Mexican boy, whom they raised as one of themselves. Years later, they made another raid on the .same place, but this time they were chased and the boy was recaptured. Among other trinkets, the boy had some silver bullets. Where could the Apaches get silver, the people of Janos asked. From a cave In a canyon, answered the boy. The cave lay under a peak which resembled a sombrero (the high peaked Mexican hat), and there was much silver, which the Indians used. Could he show them the place? Indeed he could; he gave many di rections, which assured them that he knew where to go. So several of the Mexicans got together, and with the hoy as guide they rode into the Hatchet moun tains, which lie on the boundary be tween the United States and Mexi co. Soon they would be at the canyon under the hill shaped like a sombrero, the boy assured them. And soon they were, Indeed, at the place mentioned, but at the mouth of the canyon they were met by the Apaches and driven away with a firm fierceness that allowed r.o de lay In leaving. The Apaches still, probably, know the location of thia mine, but oth ers who have sought It have never found It Cooling Milk in Winter Important Dairyman Is Advised to Use Well Insulated Tank and Clean Quarters. By Prof. H. J. Brueckner, Dairy Dept., New York State College of Agri culture.—WNU Service. A can of inllk that stands over night may appear to have been cooled properly because some of the milk freezes. Slow cooling before It freezes makes an Inferior grade of milk, and, in addition, the frozen milk usually stays In the can when the milk Is dumped at the milk plant or station. Hence some of the milk Is lost even though it might “get by.” Neither is the setting of milk in a snow bank or on a cake of ice during winter nights a satisfactory way to cool milk. The can on a cake of ice will cool at the bottom and thus will cool the milk in the bottom of the can. Since the cold milk at the bottom of the can Is heavier than the warm milk on top, the cool milk stays at the bottom and the warm milk re mains on top; hence, all the milk is never cooled. The can in the snow bank does not cool because a few minutes aft er it is placed in the snow bank, the snow against the (an melts and leaves a space that forms good in sulation; this retards cooling and almost prevents it. Even in very cold weather, that air space between the can and the snow is not changed very much by the cold air above. Actually, a can of milk will cool much more quickly if it is allowed to stand in the cold wind than If It is placed on ice or in a snow bank. If all dairymen are to cut down on the amount of milk rejected this winter and put out a better product, they should cool their milk In a well insulated milk tank in a clean milk house, just the same as during hot weather. Losses to rejected milk cost dairymen thousands of dollars each year. Warehouse Board Sealers Rule on Handling Corn Due to the high percentage of moisture contained in the corn in some sections, the Iowa department of agriculture recently made a rul ing that no corn will be sealed by the warehouse board sealers which is a greater distance than four feet from a slatted side of a crib or a suitable ventilator. As a general rule, it is held that any crib which is more than eight feet wide and in which the corn is more than eight feet deep, should have a ventilator unless the corn happens to be ex tremely dry. Strings of six-inch tile laid every two or three feet crosswise of the corn crib will furnish satisfactory ventilation in some cases. Vertical ventilators, somewhat resembling chimneys, can be constructed with two-by-fours about a foot apart each way and connected with one-by three slabs. These vertical shafts are sometimes connected up with horizontal strings of tile. In addition to equipping the crib with ventilators, salting also will be of considerable help in prevent ing mold in corn which contains 30 per cent moisture at cribbing time. One pound of salt for each hundred bushels of corn is the common pro portion to use. Two pounds of salt for a hundred bushels is stili more effective, but such a heavy applica tion of salt is not wise when the corn is to be fed to live stock. Salt ing, incidentally, should always be used in connection with the ventilat ing device.—Wallaces’ Farmer. $24,000 on the Hoof The most striking cattle-feeding story that has come to our notice lately concerns Joe and Felix Corp stein of Nortonvllle, Kan. On May 1, last, says the Country Home, the Corpsteins topped the market with their twenty-first carload of horned Hereford steers. Out of a total of 25 cars sold from January 28 to May 1, only four cars failed to set the pace for day’s run. Nearly all ship ments went to the Chicago stock yards. Prices received ranged from $11 to $10.25. The Corpsteins would not rate as veteran feeders. It was in 1029 that they began feeding 400 to 500 cat tle annually on their 2,000-acre farm In order to build up the fertility which grain farming had used up. Their steers fed In the open at bunks, filled once dally, and were allowed to eat all they liked. They were started on bran and later fed mostly on ensilage, shelled corn, molasses feed and alfalfa. It is es timated that there was a net cash profit of more than $50 each on the 407 steers fed this season.

Major Monarchies of the World and Their Rulerc With the return of Greece to • monarchial form of government, the major monarchies In the world total 18. The monarchies with the name* of the rulers of each are: Great Britain, George V; Italy, Victor Emmanuel III; Belgium, Leo pold III; Sweden, Gustaf V; Norway, Haakon VII; Denmark, Christian Xj Greece, George II; Netherlands.
