of the primary election law in speech in the house of representatives last week. He combatted the attacks of Senator David Reed and 'others upon the law, and declared that the old convention system of nominating is extinst as the dodo." While he admitted the fact that Pennsylvania is being held up as a "horrible example" in the eyes of the country, he contended that the weak spots in the law could be easily amended, and that to- return to the convention system would be just what the political gangsters 'would like. Mr. Kelly is probobly the most independent and most progressive member of the Pennsylvania delegation in the house, and would be the f'best fitted and most logical man to and elect in Dave Reed's place in 1928. His home is in western Pennsylvania and he would be a great improvement over Reed in every Journal.

The reign of the eldest son an sole heir to the family mansion and estate in Great Britain is at an end. Since i ho llrut day of January new law has pi-ovuiled which will hereafter compel Mm to share heritage not only with MK hut with his sisters. Thus hiis the term "son and heir" lost much ihc significance with which It has lioi-ij invested- not lens In real life in fiction. It is a moat radical change, because for ceuturieH the general custom In England- has been that, upon an intestacy, the eldest son shall suc- to his father's "real" that is to say, his freehold lands and houses and tfie the exclusion of his and sisters. The law was introduced by the Normans mid established as part of.the feudal system of land tenure, and the origin of the.preference shown for the eldest sou would seem to have rested upon thoroughly practical grounds, because in feudal times land was held, for the most part, either direct from the king, or through some intermediate lord, under a form of tenure which carried with it an obligation on the part of the tenant to render some personal service to his landlord.

The duty required of the tenant was, usually, either of a military kind, such as to serve his lord as knight, or else of nil agricultural nature, for example, to plow the lord's fields. It was obviously desirable, that one man should be made responsible for the required service, and upon the death of a tenant his eldest son was presumed to be the person best fitted to take over his land find his obligations. That this "eldest son favoritism" has so long prevailed, "shows how loath the English are to abandon old customs. As in the past, so in the future, the eldest son's share of his father's property may exceed that of his brothers and sisters; but. if it does, it will be under the terms of a will and not because of any natal superiority in the eyes of the Improving on Nature The production of synthetic camphor from turpentine oil in this country appears to be an accomplished fact.

Exact details are not known, hut from one to three tons a day have b.een quoted as estimates of the production. The camphor industry until recent years has been a monopoly of the Japanese, wbo have continually increased ttie price of' the natural product and have thus forced European consumers 'to manufacture camphor synthetically. Such manufacture is indeed satisfactory, especially as it has spread to Britain on a fairly largp scale. Everything points to the fact, says a writer in the Industrial Chemist, that It is the synthetic product and not the natural variety thai now governs the price.
