CIUCAtW), ILL., Jan. 2. The ter centenary of the planting of the first po tato in the. United States will be next IVcemlMT, aisvortlrnifvto 'Pr. isJUerthwhl La ufer. Curator of Anthropology, of the Field Museum here. "The potato entered this country," Dr. Laufer snid, in an address before the American Association for the Advance ment of tciciice, "not as surmised by Ide ainbille, through nu alleged band of fcpnnisli adventurers, but in a perfect ly respectable manner from Bermuda, where it had been introduced some years previously from Kngland. "It is a prank of fortune that the po tato, originally a denizen of Chile and Peru, apears as a naturalized F.nglish man iu the 1'nited States. The potato had nrrived in Kngland about 1"N(! or a little la'er. "For a long time the belief was en tertained by botanists that the openauk, described among the wild roots of Vir ginia by Thomas Harlot in loSK, was to represent our potato. This speculation is erroneous. Data from the History of the H'-rmudas now make it perfectly dear that the potato was one of the plants which 'at fliat time and until then (that is, W Virginia had not.' "The History of the Bermudas re ports that in Kill the good ship Kli.a beth brought potatoes from Kngland to Bermuda. The History further states that on the -ml of December 1021. Cap tain Nathaniel Butler, (iovemor of the Bermudas, ent from 'St. Georges, in the Summer Islands' to tJio Governor of Vir ginia ( Fraucis Wyatt), two large cedar chests 'where in were fitted all kinds and sortes of the eonn'ry plants and fruits, ;is Virginia at that time and uii lil then had not. as figs, pomegranates, oranges, lemos. plantnnes. sugar canes, pot a toe, and cassada rootes, papes, (papaya), red pepper, the pritle pea re (prickly pear), and the like.' "In the following year, a Virginian bark took from the Bermudas 'twenty thousand waight of potatoes at the least'. Tho fact that jiotatocs were ae tUHll.rjdautvJ l: Virginia ut the very moment of the first i'ntrmbvrttuji Ss ron firmed in letters from Virginia in 1GJ1 and published by Purchas. "The gifts of the New World along the line of cultivated plants were all of a democratic character and made a world wiile. appeal: tobbaceo conquered all peoples of the globe without distinction, and I know of only a single tribe which does not practise smoking the poor islanders of Botel Tobago. Tobacco is more universally consumed than any other narcotic, has profoundly iurlueiiced the economy of most nations and signally affoetetl special customs and promoted sociability. In a spirit of gratitude, Chinese and Japanese have bestowed en tobacco the name 'herb of amiability' (niking tsao), as they explain, 'on ac count of the affectionate feelings enter tained toward one another by nil classes of mankind since its use has become general. '' MORAL GOWN IN CHURCH. Skirt Reaches 7 1-2 Inches Below Level; Six Inches Below Chin. Scc- HONOI.FLr, T. II., Feb. it. - Auti-Anierii-an sentiment iu Japan, except among certain sections of college profes sors, students and politicians, is dwind ling, according to Professor T. Harada. Japanese professor in the 1'iiiversi'r of Hawaii, who has jus' returned from a trip to Nippon. Professor U.irada said: " I was agreeably surprised to find anti American scntimeit ht i oiighont Japan much less pronounced than when I was there lust. Among the people the situa tion seems quiet and it is on'.v among certain elements, particularly some pro fessors, college students and some politi cians that an unfriendly attitude to wards the 1'nited States is manifested." (By The Associated Press.) PHILADELPHIA, Feb. f). Virtue smiled, "file clergy hoaiiK.!, Satan growled, men looked innocent and women raised their eyebrows and whispered interest ingly last night when the interdenomina tional dress was revealed to an expectant public. The garment, otlicial known as the "moral gowu," was displayed at a "bizarro" for the benefit of the Nurses Home of St. Agnes' Ilospit il. Hundreds of girls and women braved slewt, snow and slippery pavements in their eagncrness to see the paragon of modesty among articdes of femiuie attire. Considerable controversy has raged among ministers in the last few weeks about what constitutes the "iinmoial" gown, but no agreement was reached. "Many ministers, many minds," s.iil the women and were aliou! to continue following their own sweet will when they learned that the clergymen of fifteen de nominations, including a Methodist b'sh op n M.l two rabbis, had come to an no derstandiug as to what a moral gown " sh.iu'd be. And now for the spe. itica' ions. The skirt -- to begin wi;h the part that has inspired most of the con' r 'vei sv - was seven and one half iii'hes above the irr iiunl, or, as one young male specta tor put it. "seven an.
