UNITED STATES TROOPS READY
TO GO TO EUROPE ANY TIME

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2.-The
United States stands ready to send an
army to Europe whenever the Allies
deem it wise to divert the necessary
shipping from transporting food to
transporting men. 1t became definitely
known today that the government has
offered the Allies troops, but has sug-
gested that the alarming shortage OF
world shipping may make it imprac-
ficable to send them at once.

HLITERACY In THE MOUNTAINS

ATLANTA, Ca, May 2.-Exception
is taken by Atlanta educators. and peo-
Pile interested in educational institu-
lions in north Georgia and other noun
tain sections, to the oft-repeated state
ments in newspapers and other publ
cations about the illiteracy of the
mountaineers. 1t is declared by per-
sons who have made a careful study
of the matter that no people are more
hungry for education than the noun
taineers, and that in the past twenty
years there has been a wonderful ad-
vance. And from the mountains, they
point out, came such men as Lincoln,
Zeb Vance and others great in Amer
lean history.

THREE PROBLEMS To
WORRY THE NATION

ROME Italy, May 2.-The prosper
ity of Italy after the war depends upon
the solution of three great engineering
problems, in the opinion of Professor
Luigi luigi, president of the Italian
Society of Civil Engineers. These
three problems, he stated in an adj
dress here this week, are: The re-
clamation of marsh lands, the irriga-
ito of semi-arid tracts, and the more
complete utilization of water power,
especially in the production of chem
ical fertilizers for the SOIL
The chief interest of the United
States in Professor Luiggi's program is
found in his statement that it will re-
quire large sums of foreign capital,
some of which Italy hopes to draw
from America.
During the last five years of epace,"
said Professor luigi, nearly 100000
of the best elements Of our rural
population left their native villages to
seek better conditions of labor across
the Atlantic, or, worse still, in middle
Europe This excess of emigration is
drawback to the progress of Italy and
of the Latin races, as France has no
increase at all in her population,
while the Teutonic races increase
very rapidly.
ITO reduce emigration it is neces-
sary to offer to inteding emigrants
work better paid and in healthier con-
ditions. This can be done by develop
ing the natural resources of Italy.
many of which are still lying dorm
ant or are not yet completely utilized.
by improving agricultural methods,
putting in cultivation lad that now
lies idle-either through excess of wa
ter or for lack of it-that is, by drain
ing marshes and irrigating many semi
arid regions, especially in the south,
lands now almost sterile would be
blessed by the most luXuriant crops.
Also hydro-electric power should be
utilized better for the production of
ritrates and other fertilizers and for
developing many industries connected
with agricultural products.
There should also be better means
of transport, by rail, by road, and
by water. The sanitary and social con-
ditions of the rural centers of popula-
ton should be improved by better
water supplies, better sewerage, better
housing, and better schooling.
"All these problems involve num-
erous and important engineering works
and require largeinitial outlays of cap
ital, to be refunded, including yearly
interest, in about thirty to fifty years"
Upon the development of our nat
ural resources along the lines l have
indicated" continued the Professor,
depends the possibility of realizing
an Italian population of 50,000,000 to
CG0O0,0O0 inhabitants, which is neces-
sary to the British-Latin in-Slav union
to keep peace in Europe. Outside fin
acial cooperation is of course desid-
eratum. Towards this cooperation we
must tend all our efforts"

THE USEFUL PEANUT

The peanut is a sturdy friend in time of need. Now when the Food Administration is asking that fats be saved. the peanut comes to the res cue in more than one combination. There is peanut butter, for instance. It should be more widely used. The only reason that 1t isn't is because people do not know how best to use it. Even peanut butter sandwiches are seldom well made.
 The butter for them should never be spread as it comes from the jar. Put 1t in cup or bowl and combine 1t with twice as much thin cream, milk, or water. Stir until thoroughly creamy and of the consistency of mayonnatse, then vary the flavor by adding a little shaved cheese, chopped pickles or olives, hot catchup. orange marmalade. chopped dates and lemon juice, salad dressing, or onion juice, with a little bit of salt as required.
 Resides its use in sandwiches, how ever, there are countless other delici- ous ways of using peanut butter. as in soups, breads, and cakes. It serves both as shortening and thickening and adds richness, color and flavor. No food. of course, can be judged by its fuel value alone, but 1t is interest ing to note that from the point of

ra
 Well. it is select! Fifty-six hundred isn't very many out of a hundred mill lion people. but if you'l take the trou- ble to figure up the total yearly in come of those 5626 you'll find it is $1, 290, $50, ,000. And that is very real buying power when you remember that it comes in every year and that more people are joining the class all the time.
 There isn't any better illustration of the immense buying power of the wealthy classes than the First Iiber- ty Loan. The Secretary of the Treas ury says that about 100000 people bought the first issue of $2,000, ,000,- 900 of 3 1-2 per cent. bonds. They were divided in this way: 3,96O, ,0O0 people bought $1,30o, 100000 worth, or about $330 per person, while 40,- 900 people bought the other $700,- 900 1000, or $17,500 per person! In other words 1 per cent. of the total number of buyers subscribed for 35 per cent. of the entire bond issue! That Is very Impressive fact and full of significance. It shows what wealth can do.
 And wealth is on the side of the fence with the big bull with the horns! Wealth can leap over the fence into the safe fields on the other side- What do you think wealth is going to do? What would you do?.
 Next Friday we hope to answer these questions and finish this parti- cular phase of the conversion matter
