Special Attention Given
To the Growing of Tobacco

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
London, April 2S.-Developmentss
on an enormous scale are expected
in South Africa after the war, and
plans>in this connection are now be:
ing made as regard the export of
food. 1t is confidently predicted that
so far as meat is concerned the union
will be in position to compete very
soon with any other part of the world,
and in order to assist the expansion
of the industry all the steamship lines
propose, it is understood, to increase
their refrigerated space very consid-
erably and to place more vessels in
service.
1t is also intended to give special
attention to tobacco which has been
grown in South Africa from the best
seeds for nearly a hundred years. Of
late those engaged in the industry
have had the benefit Of expert advice
from the United States and Turkey
and planters are very hopeful OF the
future.

Cut Out Food Tickets to
Save the Cost Of Paper

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
London, April 30.-Now that the
public is warned that food tickets are
to be the only alternative if the vol
untary rationing system fails many
persons are trying to invent methods
to avoid the necessity of tickets with
>their wasteful expenditure of labor
and paper. ~.
One of them is ration book in
vented by the head of an institute of
hygiene, which is now being consid-
cred by the ministry of food. 1t is,
in effect, combination of account
book and record Of weights, which
is to be used by the housewife in
making all her purchases of the ra-
toned foods.
The book would supersede grocers'
and butchers bills by a simple sys-
TEN of bookkeeping and the weights
of the staple articles would be en-
tered by the storekeepers at the time
when the orders are given. There
is a page for each week and as the
total weights can be easily added up
at the end OF the week it would be
possible to see at glance whether
the regulation amounts have been ex-
ceeded.

Australian Business Houses
To Restrict Enemy Traders

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
Adelaide, Australia, April 3d.
Australian commercial houses and
business men have declared them
selves, through their chambers of
commerce, to be in accord with those
of other parts of the British empire
in planning to prohibit or restrict
trade with enemy countries for a
term of years after the war. They
also approve the plans adopted in
London and Paris conferences on
after war business conditions to give
permanent preference to trading be-
tween the different parts OF the en-
pire and with allied countries. as
against enemy countries. Favorable
treatment % neutral nations in this
respect also is approved.
Proposals along those lines were
recommended by the London cham
Der of commerce and have been
adopted by the associated chambers
OF commerce of Australia.
1t is intended to accomplish most
of these results affecting business
after the war by revision of the tariff
and Of the shipping and naturalization
laws. Among the after-war steps ap-
proved by the Australian chambers
of commerce were:
Restriction of enemy traders with
in the empire.
Penalizalion of enemy shipping.
Retention of all German ships now
in possession of the entente allies.
Replacement by the Teutonic allies
of all ships sunk by them.
Encouragement within the empire
of industries necessary to the public
safety.
Prevention of the control by enemy
countries If raw materials and re-
sources of the British empire.
State cooperation in promoting
trade banks to aid in exporting prod
ucts of the empire.
A committee, of the associated
chambers of commerce was directed
to formulate further economic meth
ods to recuperate the wealth of the
British empire depleted by the war.

were 10000 registered smokers and
that although $4,000 have died, there
are now over $4,000, indicating a
gradual increase. Speaking OF NOR

Are Being
Placed on Small Farms

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
London, May 10.-The experiment
of placing ex-soldiers on the land and
training them as small farmers is TAX
ing definite shape, and in time the
first land settlements, comprising 5000
acres, will be occupied by 240 men.
More estates will be acquired if the
results of the experiment warrant an
extension of the movement. .r...
At present sixty cottages are being
erected at the Crown Colony, Pairing
ton, about fifteen miles from Hull,
containing 1868 acres. At the CEN
trail farm of about 200 acres the men
who propose to settle on the land will
be employed under the supervision of
the director and when they have OBJ
tanned the necessary experience and
saved little capital they will be
placed on holdings, Of which there
will be sixty. In time the central
farm will disappear.
The plan does not make provision
for disabled men as such. The root
principle is to determine by expert
ment how far the recommendations of
the committee which drafted the plan
ran be made success. 1t is hoped,
however, that a certain number of
disabled men will be among the set
tiers. After the cottages, the farm
buildings will be erected, and the
Young Mems Christian association
has undertaken to put up recreation
hut.
The Board of Agriculture will OBJ
tain possession of land at Holbeach
for their second colony in October.
In addition to a colony to be estab-
lished in the southern or western
counties of England and one in
Wales, prominent agriculturist has
made gift Of over a thousand acres
in Herefordshire. ..-.

gathered data that it is thought will

Objects unearthed in trench digging

construction of field works in the in.
trenched camp are assembled at Sa-

tails of their discovery.
Organized research is being done so
far as circumstances permit. Three
flying columns have been sent to cover
particularly interesting regions to
make soundings with a view to the
preparation Of archaeological charts or

These columns have already collect.

with specimens of poetry, fragments OF
ceramics, with data as to the depth at
which they were discovered.

SOULS ENTRANCE INTO BODY
Matter Over Which Theologisns Have
Differed Since the First Time
Theory Was Advanced.

Or. Austin O'Malley Of New York
has Just revived the ancient discus
sion concerning the moment the hui
man soul enters the body. In an ar
ticle In America he contrasts the two
opposite theories: (D That of Aris-
totle, that the soul Is infused about
the fortieth day. TO which St. Thomas
Aquinas, St Anselm, st. Alphonsus
Liguori and most OF the medieval NOR
alists aud theOloglans adhered. (2)
That the entrance Of the soul Is stimuli
taneOus with the fusion of the single
nuclei in the two parental germ cells,
TO which most modern embryolOgists,
physicians and moralIsts give their
adhesion.
Cardinal Mercler and some other
great theologians cling to the Aristotle
lian theory today, basing their belief
on the idea that not until the body
takes actual human form is the
breath of life" breathed into it and it
becomes "a living soul"
But Doctor O'Malley and the embry-
olOgists hold that the earliest embryo
is a human being, therefore a body
with human soul.

Steel for BattIeshlps.

Nearly 10000 gross tons of steel will
be needed to build the GO various new
battleships, destroyers and submarines
bids for the construction of which were
taken by the United States navy In
October. When these are added to our
navy they will make IL one Of the most
formidable In the world. Some en-.
tightening statistics regarding these
naval vessels appear in Popular Me.
chanics Magazine. In each of the four
new battle cruisers there will be 15,025
tons Of steel in each of the four new
battleshlps there will be 13,761 tons
of steel; in the 20 new destroyers, 325
tons Of steel each, and in the 80 new
submarines, 1856 tons each. A hospital
ship and an ammunition ship will need
1000 tons Of steel each. Taking $40
ton as the average price Of steel al
present, these vessels mean an outlay
Of not less than S10,000,000 for the
steel only.
