I’.I Behind the scenes ot the gigantic tusk of making arrangements tor the smooth operation ot the Democratic National Convention, which comes here this year for the first time in 56 years, there is one all-powerful stage manager. He Is George F. Ma ra. a Bridgeport. Conn., lawyer who the party credited with having suc cessfully conducted the mechanics of the 1920 convention in San Fran cisco. He has been called "The Human Dynamo." With the guiding reins in his hands. Mr. Mara, since the conven- ticn site was decided as Madtson Square Garden, has invisibly control- led a veritable labyrinth of interlock ing tasks. With military precision and efficiency, he has directed an undertaking fraught with difficulties and over loaded with ramifications anything but military and yet. unlike a commander-in-chief, he has been unseen and even unknown by many of those entrusted with the detailed aspects of the plan of action. In January Mr. Mara, orficlally cloaked with the title “executive secretary of the national convention arrangements committee." quietly established a corps of workers who were aided by the Citizens' Commit tee and the Mayor’s Committee, len der his direction, under committees | and subcommittees were created Among the tasks accomplished have been: Organization of a non-partisan committee of 2,000 business mtn to help finance the convention; organi zation of committees from the scores or local, social, commercial and pol itical groups: inspection ot hotel ac commodations and allocation of space to campaign committees, dela- gates and alternates; Preparation of plans for altering Madison Square Garden and for con veniently housing within it and In nearby hotels of convention commit tees; execution of these plans and of others for the installation of tele graph, telephone, wireless and radlo- phone communication; lAting ot concessions; engagement of bands, orchestras, stenographers and other personnel; Apportionment and distribution of tickets to the press, delegates and ethers; arrangements for tickets for amusements and apportionment of tickets for the scores of entertain ments, boat trips, concerts, theatri cals, ball games, etc., which havt been arranged: and the assembling and printing of the bulky convention program.

N. s.)-— Serious diseases of the Philippine hemp plant are threatening to des troy that important crop, according to Bureau of Agriculture reports. These diseases affect the heart of the growing stalk, and the tops of the plant, causing it to rot and destroy ing the valuable fibre. Manila hemp is the best rope fibre in the world and will grow nowhere else, though attempts to cutivato R in other trcplcal countries have been made. Grown outside of the island:; tlie plant fails to produce fibre of sufficient strength for commercial purposes. Hemp ranks next to sugar as an export product in point of value, and should its growth be seriously af fected ft will mean a serious econ omic setback to the Islands. The new diseases are said to have been imported with banana stalks, the hemp and banana plants belong ing to the same species. Only an ex pert can tell a growing hemp plant from a growing banana plant. Harry T. Edwards, fibre expert < f tiie i’nited States Bureau of Agricul ture, lias just arrived in the Philip pines to look into the hemp disease situation and assist in the campaign being waged against Its spread. He was formerly director of the Philip pine Bureau of Agriculture. The hemp region of Cavite province, near Manila, has already been virtually wiped o it by the diseases, but strict measures arc being put into effect to guard against tlie spread of the in fections.
