WAR STRICKEN EUROPE WANTS
U. S. TO SUPPLY DAIRY CATTLE

An agen, Of the Siberian government
has written TO Chicago asking for prices
on 10000 dairy cattle Millions Of high
class dairy animals have been slaughter
ed in Siberia. Roumania. France. Grea,
Britain and Italy. The countries have al
ready begun to establish their founda-
ton herds.
Good milk will always be in demand
and will never likely be cheaper during
the winter months. From the standpoint
Of food value. it is by far the cheapes,
food consumed. Farmers who ship milk
to Philadelphia received the best prices
in America. AT the same time the con-
sumers Of Philadelphia pay only "A cents
per quart for milk. while the consumers
Of New York City and Boston are paying
n cents, and in Washington IS cents per
quart. This is the good result OF the new
zone system Of distribution.
Pure Bred Dairy Calf Clubs viii be or
gauized wherever a sufficient number Of
boys and girls desire 10 purchase calves
and learn how 10 feed and care for them;
first AS dairy calves and then as young
heifers; and finally as milk cows. Local
banks win purchase the calves under the
direction Of the Extension Department Of
Delaware College and viii sell them TO
reliable boys and girls at cost for cash or
note at low rate OF interest. The IS
calves belonging To the New Castle Coun-
ty calf Club cost $500 i'm July. and have
recently been estimated TO De worth
SIS 600. This haas certainly been good in-
yestmeut.

Americans Alarmed at
British Trademark Bill

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The representa-
t;ves Of American manufacturers in
Eng and are MECH alarmed over bill
if the proprietor of a word trademark
so uses his mark as to lead the public
to regard it as the name Of an article
it shall be removed from the register
Of trademarks
1t is pointed out that if the bill were
passed many American articles which
have become popularized through name
trademarks would probably be imitat-
ed under the same name and that
Americans would have no redress, thus
entailing untold loss to them financial
ly, if not the ruin of their business IN
England.
Americans here say that cargo space
for England is row so restricted that
the trade in many articles has already
become greatly affected, and if the bill
becomes law iritators may be sue
cessfui> in getting control of all the
business before the cargo space is IN
creased and normal conditions are re-
sumcd between the United States and
England commercially
The attention of the American Consul
General, Robert ?. Skinner, has been
called to the seriousness of the situa-
ton. and if the representations of
American representatives and officials
here are unavailing Washington prob
ably will be asked to irtercede with
the British government for the removal
of certain Objectionable features of
the bill

Flames and Explosions Do
What Bitter Political Cam

Incendiarism Rumored
investigation Proves Blasts

-$225,OOO Damage

The municipal garbage reduction
plant on Staten Island, threatened with
destruction 20 many times by indig-
nant residents Of Richmond, came close
to being wiped out yesterday by a
blaze which consumed s225,ooo worth
of buildings and piers and crippled the
entire establishment.
For some time after the fire was cH-
tinRuished by the apparatus which re-
sponded to a general alarm. 1t was ru.
mored that the blaze had been started
by inoendiaries. Color was lent to this
report by three heavy explosions which
occurred during the fire.
Gasolene Drums Exploded
Officials of the Metropolitan BY
Products Company, operating the
plant, explained these explosions by
saying that they came from drums of
gasolene stored in the building where
the fire started. Fire Marshal Brophy
is investigating the blaze, and has
found no evidence of incendiarism
Flames we're discovered in a store
house near Arthur XIII, on which the
plant frontst shortly before Q yes

landed.
A general alarm was turned in.
bringing all the fire companies on
Staten Island and two freboats. Many
of the engines came ten miles or more
to the blaze. and before a sufficient
force had arrived the flames had de-
stroyed the pier. together with q Penn
sylvania Railroad barge loaded with
four cars of fertilizer. scow loaded
with garbage, three elevators and six
conveyors.
The main buildings of the plant were
threatened, but they were built of con-
crete and stone and resisted the fire.
Tugs of the Standard Oil Company and
the Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad aided
the fireboats in attackin~ the flames
from the water side. but all vessels
were hampered by the drift ice which
choked Arthur Kill.
Second Fire in Week
The machinery destroyed in the gar
bage elevators and conveyors is ex-
tremely expensive and difficult to re-
place at this time. The loss Of the pier
will also make it impossible to land
garbage there for some weeks to come.
Staten Islanders who have been most
violent in their denunciation of the
plant laughed last night at the report
that the fire had been started by some
particularly violent insurgent. They
pointed out that Mayor Hylan had
prom;-ed the voters of Richmond to
remove the plant. if legally possible
AS soon as he took office, and said that
they believed violence was not neces-
sary now.
This is the second fire that has dam
aged the plant this week Last Tues
day a screening building burned down.
