The authorities are con- vinced that there is I considerable illicit trnffie in these wetpons and are determined to get at its source. While some of the weopons used by c iminals, who copy the methods of Areriean gangsters are known to be dummies flourished for the purpose of frightening victims into a state of helplessness, others are the real thing. It is even stated that revolvers can be hired for 3 small sum and then returned to their owners, thus avoid- ing the danger, appreciated by most professional criminals, of being found in possession of firearms. It has been suggested that the fre- q ency with which revolvers are used in robberies would justify an order for every one possessing such weapons to hand them over to the authorities, but Scotland Yard is reluctant to take such a step unless the menace be comes too great to be dealt with by other means. Another suggestion which has been considered is a ban on the manufacture of "toy" revol- vers, which can easily be converted into effective weapons. Criminals are well aware of the tenvy punishment they risk by carry- ing out robberies wit.' the aid of re- volvers. and the relatively few cases in which shots are actually fired shows that they are carried for the purposes of intimidation only. At the same time, the authorities do not intend to remain inactive in the-face of the increasing number of robberies whose success depends almost entirely on the used of arms.

Guild Membership Compulsory in China Shanghai.-lvery business, concern or factory in China hereafter must become a member of a guild, accord- ing to a revision in the Guild Law ap- proved by the National Government. The law is intended to strengthen government supervision of al, indus. try. The original Guild Law stated that firms engaged in the same line of business "may" become members of the guild thereof. The revised law changes the word "may" to "must." The revision was made after the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce had urged the Government to make mem- mbership in guilds compulsory. Op- tional membership, the petition de- clued, weakened the position of the guilds. Under the new law, all indus. trial concerns in China can be con- trolled by the guilds.

GOD GUIDING, Dent. 8: 7-14. This section of Deuteronomy reports part of Moses' farewell address to the children of Israel. They are now nearing the Land of Promise. The pnrerty and hardships of the desert will soon be forgotten in the fertile and wealthy land which they are about to enter, vs. 7-9. Will God be Izirgotten also? Moses, knowing them Mt well, fears that lil.e many people who "get on in the world" they will become self-satisfied and indifferent tr. their religious needs. He reminds them that with rat God's guidance they Col, ld never have reached Canaan. v. 7. In a thousand ways they had been dependent upon forces which operated beyond their control. In the land they were about to enter, did they create its springs? Could they make tho grain to grow without God's lelp? Had they put the minerals in the ground?

Paul, trying to develop the sense of .esponsibility and brotherhood among the churches which he had organized, arranges for a collection to be taken for the Jerusalem poor.

What kind of grass mixture should I sow it tot Attaqrer.--You are tortunat iy choose ing one ot the best crops to grow on this type ot soil, but it is a little un- fortunate that the soil is not drained. since no crop can do its best it water is standing in the soil. Water which can be drained " always is injurious to growing crops. Roots will not penetrate through layers of water, nor can bacterial action so on in soil whieh is water logged.

Soil is made up principal- ly of sandy loam, 25 acres. pleniy of humus in it, 50 acres sand: loam with clay cropping up in places, two or three acres in extent.' The above soil has a clay subsoil, 25 acres sandy too poor to crop much. I doubt your assertion that nitrate ot soda can be used to best profit on your soil. If your soil is relatively open as your description indicates, I believe a more slowly soluble form ot nitrogen should be used, such as tank- age or bonemeal. Probably Red Top or Rhoda island Bent grass will do best unde: the con- ditions that you describe. About 12 lbs. of high grade seed C" Red Top and 6 lbs. or Kentucky Blue grass with 2 lbs.

On your soil which is "too poor to crop much." I wonder it it would not be advisable for you to seed clover. It it is extremely sandy I believe sweet clover viould be better than com- mon red. Furthermore, I believe you would do wpll to apply some limestone. especial- ly where you are seeding your ground to clover. You would not suspect that sandy soil is acid in reaction, but this is often the case. since lime leeches out of sandy soil most readily and it best results are to be obtained it must he retur: ed. Apply about 1000 to 2000 lbs. ot ground limes one to the acre. This can be put on the soil at any time, hut is perhaps most effectively used when you scatter it or. the plow- ed ground in spring, as yor work the soil do n. Answer.-Muck soil differs from up- land soil in many ways. The upland soil is the Droduet ot weathering. both the weathering of rocks and of vege- tation that has fallen on them, while muck soil is composed ehietJr of de. caylng plant matter, whose decay has been greatly hindered, in many cases. I am doubtful it you have tttttttcient drainage even in view of what you say about the land being well drained. it may be that the layer of clay under the land lies in pockets, as it evident, ly does from your statement that clay areas crop up in places. I know tile drainage is relatively costly, yet it must be looked upon as a permanent investment rather than an expense. From figures I have on hand, I believe you would quickly realize returns from money put into a conservative amount ot tile drainage, to drain out the pockets whirh I believe exist in your soil. Clay is relatively impervious to drainage wutcrs, as you know trom ex- perience, hence the need of an outlet for “alt-rs which keep your land cold and backward in spring. From F-ltr description of the crops. I believe that drainage. liming. manur- ing and fertilizing are the ways to larger yields. R.

The meadow mouse in its search tor food during the cold snowy weather will chew the fresh green bark 0. any tree or shrub that it may be passing.‘ Trees to the value of many thousands of dollars are ruined on the farms of those who are just a little neglecttul in doing the necessary work to pro tect the trees against mice. Some farmers, once having (experienced the loss of valued trees. profited by the expensive lesson in that they now take steps to prevent further loss. This is accomplished by removing conditions favorable to mice in that such provide shelter; by destroying the mice with Ipoison bait or by trap; by applying wire or veneer protectors. to be trees to prevent bark eating. The extensive use of poisoned grain. so .‘aced that birds and other animals cannot pick it up, is eitective in orchards where mice are numerous. This i hi‘SI done in November, before snow fall. Small land tile and widenccked bottles make very desirable poison bait holders. The poison grain can be placed in these, and then these containers can be placed at likely points in the or- chard, where they can be examined and re-halted with poisoned grain trom' time to time. In addition to poisoning," it is well to protect all young trees likely to be attacked with suitable? wire mesh protectors. These. it home-f made, are not expensive, and give a very cheap insurance against injury by mice during the November to Mas, peri d each year.

He proceeds: "He who sees in a dream a special manifestation of psychic forces, or perhaps the eitect of special psychic faculties, will be inclined to accept the alleged processes.
