Wild LIE on St. John Island.

st. John is extremely interesting as
the best remaining example Of what
the Virgin islands were like before
their discovery by Columbus, for a
goodly part of 1t is simply mountain
and forest, where wild pigeons, par
rots and other native birds abound.
Its scientific interest is further In
creased by the fact that 1t was a
stronghold of the Carib Indians, who
have given their name to the whole
region but are now extinct. On some
of the rocks In the mountains of st.
John there are very perfect and beau
tigul hieroglypbs left by these abort
gines.

THREE GREAT NEEDS
STRESSED BY HOOVER

Food Administrator in Reviewing
World Situation Declares United
States Must Stimulate Produc ion of
Ships, Wheat and Hogs to N.n the
War.
Washington, Oct. 25.-In a state
ment tonight reviewing the world food
situation, Herbert Hoover, food ad-
ministrator, said the fight against the
submarine would be won if the United
States and Canada could stimulate
production and effect economics so as
to feed the allies from this continent
without sending a ship farther afleld
than the American Atlantic seaboard.
Ships, wheat and hogs are the great
needs emphasized by Hoover. He
said deepest concern had been caused
by the fact that in spite Of higher
prices, pork consumption had in
creased during the war until produc-
ton had been outstrippcd and the stu
alton must be changed.
''If VIC discontinue exports" Mr..
Hoover added, "wc will move the Ger
man line from Franco to tho Atlantic
scaboard. Pork products have an in
ilucncc in this present world situation
wider than one would ordinarily at
tribute to them. Tho human body
must have certain amount Of fat, we
must increase production Of hogs if
We arc to answer tho worlds craving
Every pound of fat is as sure of
service as every bullet, and every hog
is Of greater value to the winning OF
this war than a shelf"
AS to wheat the administrator said
the allies deficiency OF production is
196,000,000 bushels with imports OF
577700000 bushels required to main
tain normal consumption. Hc cstimat-
ed the aggregate American, Canadian
Australian, Indian and Argentine eX.
port ssurplus at 770,000,000 bushels.
",Thc problem is thus simply one OF
ships" he said. "If ample shipping
existed, there would be no need FOL
