lheHarper Sets
New Recordin
Pacing Events

The Nassau Driving Clubs tenth
matinee on the Parkway Track. Brook
lyn, yesterday was productive of some
iirst-class harness sport The one num-
her on the card to put the students
OF the steppers on edge was the set
ting of q new matinee record in the
free-for- r-all pacing race.
The author of the new mark was
The Harper, driven by his owner, J. H.
Lawrence, and the bay gelding covered
the mile in 2:111a seconds, clipping a
tull second and a quarter off the old
tgure made by Po<ero Boy last June.
Ike former record holder was carded
TO start yesterday, but was withdrawn
a. the last moment.
Inc Harper has an exceptionally
smooth style Of getting over the
ground, and experienced little or no
trouble IN securing first money in
straight heats He is by the Tennes-
see stallion McEwen, the progenitor of
lot OF speedy animals between the
shafts.
Another PAGER who earned his money
IN straight heats was Jay Poster, a
slashing. brown gelding owned and
steered by W. c. Urban: His best mile
was 2:164 seconds, and as q dstinc-
tive mark of his stamina he came from
behind in both heats in the home
stretch, and won with something to
spare.
The fastest mile trotted at the meet
was in the freefor-all affair. Direct
Aquilan reeled off the mile in 2:16h
en- his second turn on the track and
won under loose rein. The victory
vas remarkable as being the fourth
seems capable Of improving ON the
figures.

Unfair Practices

Washington. Feb. 25.-Complaints
charging unfair trade practices were

Commission against thirty eight
manufacturing firms as the result of
a long and intensive investigation
which has revealed "a very serious
and unhealthy condition in certain
lines of industry" 1t was the largest
number of complaints ever issued at
one time bv the commission.
The thirty-eight firms cited to-day
were given thirty days to reply and
ordered to appear for hearing on
April 8.
The Glidden Narnish Company. of
Cleveland, Ohio, was charged with
attempting to sti { e and suppress
competition by systematically and
on a large scale" giving employees

3O,OOO,OOO Soldiers
Crossed and Recrossed Sea

New York.-Those who have been
led by the loss of the Tuscania to
consider the dangers attending The
transportation of men across the
water as something enormous will be
surprised to learn that the chance
of losing ones life at sea on a
British or American ship is so small
nowadays that, in comparison, the
perils besetting a man living in New
York make him seem almost a hero.
Nobody knows how many American
troops there are in France. As
suming that there are 100000,
which seems a fair estimate, and
taking into consideration the loss
of life among soldiers on the Tus-
cania, Antilles and Finland, we find
that the chance of an American
soldier losing his life while on the
sea is only / in 1929.
On November /, 1917, Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord of the British ad-
miralty, in reviewing the activities
of the British navy since the be-
ginning of the war, stated that of
3O,00O.000 men who had crossed
and recrossed the seas only 2,T00.
had been lost by the action of the
enemy. This, it may be assumed,
included troops, crews and all others
having to take a sea trip on war
work. The loss of life, according
to these figures, was reduced to Me
astonishing low level of l in Hill.
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that the great bulk of these mill
lions transported under the protec-
tion of the British navy were con-
voyed across the English channel,
where the safeguards introduced
have proved so efficient that U-boats
have failed to sink a single ship
bearing troops. But, even allow
ing for that, the percentage of loss
of life is remarkably small and re-
fleets great credit on the efficacy of
the anti-submarine devices used.

Worlds Cereals Valued
At $50, 600, O,OOO,O 900

Rome. Thirty billion dollars
worth of the six chief cereals used
for food-wheat rye, barley, oats,
corn and rice-is annually produced
by the farmers of the world, accord
ing to the Year Book, just issued
here by the International Institute
of Agriculture.
I'VE find" declared the author of
the book, that the ascertainable
yield of wheat throughout the world
exceeds a thousand million quintals
cone quintal being 3.G7 bushels) and
represents at present value more
than f2,O00,0 100000. The yield of
maize is nearly as large as of wheat
and is worth fl 100000. The
yield of potatoes is over 1900 million
quintals apd of beet sugar more than
500, 600, 900 quintals. Every year the
world has at it's disposal total of
150,0000O0 quintals of wine, SlO,-
000, 900 quintals of coffee, more than
5000, 900 of leaf tobacco, and nearly
one million quintals of hops"
The vast consumption of coffee,
wine and tobacco may be understood
when it is estimated that their total
value exceeds E4,O09,00O,0 900.
Comparing the number of cattle
horses, mules, sheep, dogs, etc, to
the worlds population, the Institute
estimates that Uruguay has eight
head of live stock to each inhabitant
Argentina more than four head, Au-
stralia more than two, the United
States and Canada one head per per-
son, and Europe only one for two
persons
The Year Book is said to be the
most complete set of agricultural
statistics ever compiled and covers
ten years of agriculture throughout
the world. In it are given not only
estimates of production FOR all the
cereals and ordinary food products,
such a wheat, oats, potatoes, rice,
