13. Radio has put such a kick into vegetable life that University of Chicago scient ists have begun to speculate about possibilities of Its use in rejuvena- ltng humans. Tales of radio brought to the university by Professor V. H. Blackman of the Imperial College of Science, London, have started this speculation over the ramifications Into which radio may find Itself diverted when, all Its secrets are known.

WHEAT INCREASES 25 PER CENT. It was this same speculative nature that caused the imperial college of science to try out radio farming with results that Prof. Blackman describes as remarkable. The plants respond to the treatment with such a vim that a small tract, of wheat produced nearly 25 per cent more grain than did a similar tract untreated to the radio stimulus. "In our experiments," Prof.

Blackman explained, "we restriut-ed the work to a small p(pt of ground. About four feet we stretched insulated wires carrying high voltage currents, sometimes as high as 100,000 volts. As a result of the radio application we fiad very substantially increased yields of grain." This method of farming, the professor said, is far too expensive to be practical, but if the same rejuvenating effects can be caused on humans radio application would be worth the cost which would be much more restricted than that needed to radlollze a whole grain field. RADIO PUTS PEP ONTO CELL LIFE. The radio puts more activity into cell life, according to the scientific explanation.

Respiration is lJm proved w.ltn Increased proto plasmic activity so that the whole plant benefits. In tact, plants have such a hankering for radio waves that scientists have now come to the opinion that the reason broadcasting in summer is so much less satisfac tory than in winter is because of the avidity with which vegetable life absorbs the energy' sent out. Fans may reap an indirect benefit in the form of better crops' if the amount of radio activity becomes sufficient to have a general effect. tCDprrlgbt 1024. The Cblcago Dtllr Newi.)

IS.

The second episode of the "perfect passion" drama of Mrs. Shirley Hall-Quest, who abandoned her college-professor husband for the love of a former British army major, -was- enacted -here-today when Mrs. Frederick William Hart -obtained a divorce from the "perfect lover." That Mrs. Hart gave up her husband In the Interests of the "perfect passion," Just as Professor Alfred Lawrence Hall-Quest phllo- sophlcally relinquished his wife, is indicated by the settlement ar- ranged by the Harts out of court. Besides the court costs, Mrs.

Hart is to receive 5000 in ensh and one-third of Hart's income for the remainder of her life. WOMAN DOES NOT fill I ELD lini RIVAI; Although Professor Hall-Quest nobly sought to shield the name of the man who won his wife away from him, out of respect to his former wife. Mrs. Hart did not hesitate to make public the name of the woman who won her husband. Professor Hall-Quest, connected with the University of Pittsburgh, aid his feelings were Just as primitive as any other person's might be In a similar case, but that he would not reveal the other man's name, as it might cause his former wife unpleasantness.

i IHS. IIAHT RKVKAI.S TALKS WITH HlSHAM. Pale. 'with her voice but a whisper, Mrs. Hart pave testimony today which absolved her husband from bonds that had become lrk- Vaome.

Responding to the question of her attorney, Mrs. Ilnrt said that he talked to her husband about this woman. "He admitted that he loved her," he said, "and said he could not "change his mind." Ill associations- with Mrs. Hall-Quest continued until May, 1923, Mrs. Hart said.

Then her husband took her to He gave as an excuse for this, she said, that he wanted time "to think it over." "We were there but two weeks," Mrs. Hart related. "He left me In London. He came back to Cincinnati and resumed his associations with Mrs. Hall-Quest.

He wrote me, saying he could no longer live with me as hi wife. "He eventually came' back to I Cincinnati. I don't know how long 1 ha remained here. Then he went to Chicago some time in November. Mrs.

Hall-Quest went with him. They lived in Chicago since then. He admitted he was living with her." In the divorce action brought Jn Chicago by Professor Hall-Quest against his wife last week, the cultured letters of Mrs. Hall-Quest to her husband were read Into the record. Hut In consonance with the professor's wishes, the name of the "perfect lover" was withheld throughout.

"WE MTST BE ALL TO EACH OTHER" In one of her letters to her husband In explanation of her affection for the "other man," Mrs. Hall-Quest wrote: "I cannot conceive of life as possible apart from and I must therefore continue to trust that our life together may be one eventually sanctioned by socinl laws because they would, of bourse, bring greater contentment, peace and real ease of mind. If that can not be, then our lives must be lived entirely within our two selves, as In the past few months, and we must in truth be everything to each other." Hart did not appear in the courtroom in the trial here. In consequence of his failure to appear, Judge Hoffman said thnt although he had granted the di-'vorce, life 'would not issue, the for-mTelsrerTiHnrTttesaajr: Thisr however.

I The Quadra was loaded to the I limit with J750.000 liquor with which it had cleared recently from Vancouver, B. according to federal authorities. Prior to its capture the ship had already sent large quantities of the liquor ashore by means of small local rum-running vessels. It was the capture of one of these that led to the seizure of the larger ship. An equally lm- puriani ia.uior, nowever, was me Quadra's misfortune in running out of fuel on its trip down the coast, which caused it to drift with-In the twelve-mile limit.
