AUSTRALIA WILLING
 TO INVEST $2,5O0,0OO
For Establishment of Institution Fog Scientific Research in RcIa-
 ton to Industry.

(Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Melbourne, Australia, Jan. 31.- Prime Minister Hughes announced at a luncheon given him recently by the faculty of Melbourne university that the Federal government was prepared to spend up to $2,50O,00O if necessary on the establishment of an institution for scientific research in relation to industry, Mr. Hughes said that it had been shown what potential wealth there was in Australia. but the Aus tralian people were practically in their swadding thes-ecOnomically they were in their school days. He thought with a national laboratory Australians could utilize science in opening up new avenues of industrial effort. They could increase the productivity of the country from fifteen to twenty per cent.
 ''The Commonwealth Government" he went on, twill endeavor to coordin- ate the universities in the various states in this direction. We are not committed to details. As far as pos- sible we will avail ourselves of the ability and services of the scientific men in our own industries, but if nec- essary to strengthen the staff it can be reinforced from outside. I will make inquiries during my visit abroad but in any case the government with out delay will take the necessary steps to give the institution a start"
 MT. Hughes suggesed that the Mel bourne professors invite representa- tives of the universities in the other states to meet them in Melbourne at an early date to consider the whole question.
 "The government" he declared, ( twill give $2,5OO,O00 if necessary. say that deliberately. It is the best investment Australia could make"

MORE MORAL THAN
 MATERIAL EFFECT
BOmbar1ment of Allied Towns By German Long Range 1o-
 Inch Guns.

London. Feb. S.-Bombardment by German long range 15-inch guns has Q greater moral than material effect on the towns bombarded, writes a corre- spondent from France. This is due to the great amount of waste space in towns, for a shell has just as much of a chance of hitting a vacant lot as a building. The Germans, them selves. in the opinion of the writer know how little material damage their shells do, for after snelling these towns they generally follow up with an air raid But they know it's moral re- suits.
 In the extreme range firing. the Germans fire only when the wind is favorable to them. The noise of the great shell is distinctly trying on the nerves of the people. As open towns lie a good distance back of the French lines, the Germans get their naval guns we'll forward, with the result that they are usually sought out by the French guns.
 The main drawback Of these bonn bardments of open towns is. from the German point of view, their expense. These great shells run in price up to several thousand dollars each.
 One lesson of the war is that it costs more tc destroy a village than to build it. At one point the Germans battered a viaduct to pieces with IT. inch and 9-inch hoWitzers. This cost them nearly sixty giant shells and countless 9-inch shells to say nothing of a rain from field guns The via duct cost s70,o00 dollars to. build French officers estimated the price of it's destruction at over $400, 900.

SAYS DRINK LEMONADE
 FOR RHEUMATISM
Wear Warm Clothes in Winter and Take One-half Tcaspoonful of Rheuma Once a Day to Drive
 Rheumatic POisons From
Your System.

LOlT system.
 Sufferers can get a measure of re- lief by keeping the feet dry, drinking plenty of lemonade and avoiding al- coholic beverages, but if you really want to get rid of rheumatism with all it's agony, pain and misery you must drive from your system every bit of poisonous secretions that lodge in the joints and muscles.
 Clark & Brainerd Co.,, and all drug gists are now offering to the public for about 50 cents a prescription called Rheuma that is so powerful that with in two days after you take the first dose you will feel that the uric acid poison is leaving your body.
 Rheuma seldom fails: it overcomes the torturing pain, limbers up and re- duces stiff, swollen joints and drives the soreness from inflamed muscles. Anybody can try it, for it is free from Opiates and is harmless. If two 5O- cent bottles don't prove that you can get rid of rheumatism or neuritis for ever, your money is waiting at your druggists.

Whether the United States govern ment decides to intern the British ship Appam or to release her and turn her over to her former British owners, officials of the state depart ment are anticipating trouble in the case of the steamer captured in the Atlantic and brought to Hampton Roads by German prize crew after a voyage that furnishes a thrilling sea romance. Whichever way the decision goes it is realized that a warm dip lomatic dispute is in prospect with either Great Britain or Germany. The
New Britain herald., 1916-02-08

indications at present are that the vessel will be interned. If the United
 States decides to intern her it will
 be either on the ground that thy Appam, since her capture, has been
 converted into a German naval aux Hilary or that the treaty of 1799 be- tween Prussia and the United States obligates this government to grant an asylum to German prizes It is believed the German commander will seek internment on one of these two grounds. The Appam arrived at Hampton Roads with prize crew of

MUNICIPAL STORES
 IN LICHTENBERG
Prices Of FoodstuHs Kept Down by
 System in German Town

| Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Berlin, Jan. 31.-The big suburban city of Lichtenberg, a few miles from Berlin, whose population is almost ex- 1 clusively drawn from the working classes, has, during the past few l months, been perfecting system of municipal ownership of foodstuffs which is perhaps the most compre- hensive in Germany.
 It has not only taken charge of and control over certain kinds of foods, as other municipalities have done, but it has become salesman as we'll, has opened municipal stores and markets all over the city, has done much to keep prices down within reach of it's inha bitants and yet has made enough profit to enable it to keep it's stocks replenished
 Distributed Through Merchants.
 Where is has been found inadvis- able for the city to sell the food it. self, it has been distributed through merchants who have been permitted to charge only stipulated prices and to make a profit no larger than the city itself would make.
 The city now maintains four stores for the sale of meat, sausage, fats and bacon, four egg stores, and two potato stores. Four more of the later are to be added in a short time as soon as the expected increased demand for potatoes comes.
 The city has been able to make ad- vantageous contracts with packers for both meat and fats, and of late is selling to about 20,000 families. When ever a shortage has been felt, such as was the case with fat recently, Licl1- tenberg has procured substitutes of one kind Or another
 Has Sufficient Bacon.
 It has in it's storehouses now enough bacon to last into February, and by that time will have received the 5000 hogs that have been ap- portioned to it by military authori- ties. A contract to slaughter them has already been awarded.
 Of late the city has added to it's stock by putting in rice, beans, peas, and oat flakes by the hundredweigh and is selling them at a small margin of profit at it's meat stores. Until after Christmas the price of munici- pal eggs was four cents apiece-as compared with eight to nlne cents Tn other parts of Greater Berlin-but now it has advanced to four and a half cents.
 Potatoes Purchased.
 The city has just purchased an enormous quantity of potatoes half of which it has stored away, and the other half of which has been dis tributed among regular provision dealers to be sold at specified prices The city has also sold huge amounts of fruit
 Tn addition to selling outright the things enumerated, Lichtenberg has supplied local merchants with great quantities of noodles, condensed milk, sardines, vegetables and macaroni which it. as wholesale buyer, has been able to procure advantageously
