POTATO DAYS COMING
With Lower PRICES
Food ADMINISTRATION Plans to Reg
ulate Sale of Spuds.

And now for the drive on the
Irish potato!
The Food Administration an
nounced yesterday that the time
had come for a concerted move
against the spud. Last fell the
grocery trade Joined hands with
the administration. but complica-
tions in the crop. drought and field
frosts caused a smaller yield of
potatoes than was expected and
hurried damaged tubers to the mar
ket. The result was too low prices
in some sections and exhorbitant
charges in others.
Now, the administration an
nounces, most of last years
troubles are over. There are plenty
OF potatoes in most markets, with
satisfactory supplies coming in.
A new device for selling has been
worked out. The retail grocer is
advised to ix a potato day for his
community. by naming a day on
which trade usually is slack. and
selling at attractive prices.
"One potato day a week." says the
administration, will enable the
consumer to use this valuable food
article as a balance in diet and re-
duce living costs.

HAS ONLY IMPULSE TO RUN
When Under Influence of Fear, Horse
Has No Other Idea Save That Of
Blind Flight.

1t was pathetic to see the terror Of
London horses when the tank passed
through the city recently, writes a cor
respondent. Many of them sighted the
new-fangled contraption at a distance
and stood with ears pricked forward,
eyeballs starting and nostrils distend-
ed, and had TO be held and screened
until it passed by. 1t was, of course,
the same in the early days of motor
ing, but despite his tendency to panic
the horse is intelligent if given a
chance. When bicycles were novelties
an acquaintance tells me-his horse,
in a Cheshire country district, showed
great fear until a bicycle was one day
brought to him and held beneath his
nose so that he could inspect it in de-
tail. He minded them afterward.
According to Romanes, the horse "is
the only animal which under the inf1u-
ence of fear loses the possession of
every other sense in one mad and mas
tering desire to run" This pathetic
failing was utilized by our men in the
recent advance on Cambria, when al
one point, it is recorded, a squadron of
cavalry dismounted and stampeded
their horses, which fled panic-stricken
in the darkness toward the enemy lines,
and so drew the German fre.-Man-

BORN OF DESIRE FOR SPEED
From Earliest Ages Man Has Sought
Methods of Transportation Other
Than His Feet.

Doubtless the first form of construc-
tive transportation was by the boat in
the form of a float and our earliest and
simplest conception is a man astride
a log, propelling it by hand and foot.
The idea of propulsion stimulated to
activity the inventive genius of mans
mind, and we find him developing vari-
Gus modes of land conveyances. The
camel was drafted into service with
the elephant, the horse and other ami
mails. Then came the sledge, the first
of natures own construction, simply
a forked tree limb.
This gradually developed into a more
perfect mode of conveyance, being
mounted on rollers or logs, and here
began the development of the axle and
the wheel. The most primitive form
of wheel was the simple roller made
from a tree trunk, afterward differen-
tiated into a pair of fixed wheels by
trimming down the middle portion of
the cylinder in such a manner as to
leave the center of the trunk as a
rotating axle.
The next step was the substitution
of two shorter sections of tree trunks
attached to a rotating axle; fiat, round
cylinders of stone doubtless were used
as well. and later a considerable adj
vancement was marked by the substi-
tuition of the fixed axle on which the
cylinders rotated.
The cart wheel similar to hat which
may today be seen in the remote dis.
tricts of Mexico. is doubtless the next
noteworthy advance, and from these
primitive steps we find Aristotle and
other Greek philosophers interesting
themselves in these important advance
ments and earnestly agitating the
minds of the mechanics of hat period,
In the effort to stimulate even greater
improvements.

SHOWING
GRATITUDE

Mayor Hylan of New York. enjoy
ing life at Palm Beach. took time TO
write a letter highly eulogistic of Will
liam Randolph Hearst; and Hearst's
associates in the newspaper business
in New York are critical of the pro-
duction. There is every reason why
Hylan should admire Hearst, for
Hearst helped to make him. The only
remarkable thing about the incident.
to our mind, is that Hylan should
have remembered Hearst with graft
tude after getting into office. Many
successful candidates are apt to for
get all about the newspaper editors
who helped them to climb up to high
positions.

MEASURE
FOR FARMERS

The bill authorizing the Secretary
of Agriculture to sell seed grain to
farmers received warm support from
Representative Bertrand II. Smell OF
the state of New York. Mr.. Smell
with scores of his colleagues, believes
hat in times of peace such paternal
legislation would be wholly unwise.
The government, however, having EN-
barked on a similar policy in other
lines, it is perfectly logical to extend
relief to the farmers. "The farmers,
says he, are conducting the most inn
portant business in this country at
the present time" To deny them the
federal aid that has been extended 10
the shipbuilding industry, the rail
roads and public utilities in general
does. not appeal to Mr.. SHELLS sense
of fair play, hence he did not hesitate
to give his endorsement to the seed

Japanese and MaIays.

helmet was adorned with horns OF

Malayan archipelago. The old-fash.
Toned weapons of the Japanese police,
used in particular for catching thieves,
are still used by Malayan policemen.
The custom of catching fish at night by
torchlight prevails both in Japan and
in the Malayan archipelago. An ordeal
with boiling water. a special sort of
football game, the popularity of cock
fights and the custom of keeping sing
ing insects in little cages are found
both among the japanese and Malays.
All this, asserts q writer, speaks in
favor of the descent of the Japanese
from the Malays.

TO FLORIDA GROWERS

Information recently received by
the writer from an official OF the
Georgia Fruit Exchange is to the az
feet that the Railroad Administration
during the last season gave to Geor-
gia growers the best railroad SER
vice they have enjoyed in the history
of the peach industry in that state
This is very gratifying news to
Florida growers Of citrus fruits, in
that it indicates we have every rea-
son to expect good service in the
transportation of our citrus crop dur
ing the coming season.
The Florida Citrus Exchange has
been active for several months In It's
effort to secure good railroad service
next season; and has had promise OF
the Railroad Administration and ofii'
cials of other departments Of our
government that every effort would
he nut forth to move the orange and
grapefruit crop in the best possible
manner. Their success In handling
the Georgia peach crop argues wei
for the proper transportation OF the
citrus crop.
Getting Florida's citrus crop to th'
market is something Of a job In nor
NAL times, SO great are the distances
TO be covered. II is going to be NOR
of task this coming season, with
out a doubt; but the experts OF tn
Traffic Department Of the Florid'
Citrus Exchange have made ever
possible preparation in advance, an
look forward with confidence to gel
ting the fruit of Exchange member
through in satisfactory condition.
