In a certain town whose location Ia
not divulged by the service, 1862 white
boys and l.104 white girls. between the
ages of six and seventeen years. were
observed. The children were divided
INTO sex groups. and these again into
groups from severed and unsewered

are able to overcome the threatened
embarrassment of a petroleum and
gasoline shortage by making a motor
spirit from the by-products Of gas pro-

being used in the motors of sub

satisfactory substitute. has been pro-

Though the new German Inventions
have been practically Invaluable under
the circumstances, economists and com

able to compete successfully in world

also by buying the produce themselves.
The growing demand for fresh produce
from ships plying the canal, as well
as from employees Of the canal commits
sion. cannot be met under present con-
ditions with very limited acreage
OF truck gardens near the town, and
the supply department of the canal
organization therefore has decided to
oner what encouragement it can to
local growers.
One of the first steps taken was for
the erection Of fruit and vegetable
ware warehouse. on which work has just
been begun. 1t will be equipped with
cold room. in which fruits may be
rlpened, and will permit a great inn
proVement over the present methods
under which produce is purchased from
market fluctuations.
In addition to erecting the warehouse.
the supply department will carry on an
educational campaign, pointing out the
assured market for produce: will i'm
tables which are in great demand, and
will advise through the canal horticul-
turist with respect to planting and Gull
tural methods.
Although yams and sweet potatoes
are grown readily on the isthmus, not
nearly enough OF either to supply de-
mands Is presented in the markets. The
fact that about eight tons of the
former and five tons Of the latter vege-
table are imported from Jamaica each
week will be pointed to by the canal
authorities during their campaign to
interest growers as an indication of
the strength of the market Other
