Episcopal Only One sixth
Point Behind in Inter-
academies

AFTER the closest competition in
"A years, Penn Charter nosed out
Episcopal Academy in the thirty-second
annual track and reld meet OF the In
teracademic Athletic Association, on
Franklin Field, yesterday by the narrow
margin of l-6 of a puint. At the end
OF the eleven events the score stood ::
Penn Charter, 46 2-S; Episcopal Acad-
,emy, 46l2 Friends Central. 26k. and
Germantown Academy. ~.
Although the events were very we'll
contested, the times proved disappoint-
ingly slow. The neck-and-neck race in
point scoring between Penn Charter and
the Churchmen, however. kept the spec
tators on their toes all the time. Since
Penn Charter entered the meet a decided
were highly surprised at the outcome.
Brown Stellar Performer
Brown. Of Penn cnsrter was the stsl-
three first places to his credit. He was
an easy winner in every event in which
he competed. He far outdistanced his
rivals in the hurdles, and annexed the
shotput honors with heave OF forty feet
eleven inches. Weiner ran second TO
Brown by scoring thirteen points for
Episcopal while Jenny carp also added
thirteen TO the Churchman'S credit
The most thrilling brush of the after
noon was in the mile run when Schoble,
OF the Little Quakers. and Everett. OF
Episcopal, started of from the re-
mainder Of the pack with fast pace.
They soon began to tire out, and Bache,
of Episcopal, and Williams, OF Penn
Charter took the lead. But on the home
stretch weiner pulled up with a dash
and broke the. tape just ahead of his
teammate, Bache.

IcoRN Crops OF THE WORL1
Most OF Countries OF Europe Are I'm.
porters-United States and Argen-
tina Greatest Producers.

Among the entente allies Italy is the
Ionly country which produces corn on
a large scale. Her crop usually ex,
ceeds 100.000,000 bushels. Some OF
this is used up In food products but
not under such homely forms as the
ho:niny and corn pone of the United
iStstes Austria-Hungary, notwith-
lsta ling her own production, is an inns
porter of corn, as is Germany. France
raises a small crop of her own; 1t rare
ly exceeds 20,000,000 bushels, and or
tdinarily she imports about the same
quantity. The United Kingdom. which
ms not corn-growing country, does not
import large quantities in proportion
to the population. The imports range
from 75,000,000 to 100000,O00 bushels.
! Next to the United States the Argen-
tine republic is the chief corn-produc-
ing country in the western hemisphere.
Her crop sometimes exceeds 100000
600 bushels. The domestic consump-
ition is not great. The native popula-
,tion uses corn as food, but a large
proportion of the people of Argentina
are from the Mediterranean countries,
and are not accustomed TO this diet,
even when they are themselves the
producers.
In 1914. when Argentina produced
approximately 263,0o0,0O0 bushels, she
Exported about 140,000,000 bushels.
The balance was used for stock feed
ing. This year it is understood that
crop conditions viii make available
a considerable quantity of corn for ex-
port to Europe, IL the allies want it. Ar
gentina exports corn to the United
States. Notwithstanding our own abun-
dant crop. but this is because of GER
tain qualities which make the Argen-
tine corn useful for glucose and SINH
lar products.

Two Billion RrIcks a Year,

AT the annual meeting of the Amer
ican Ceramic society, ]. B. Shaw of
Alfred, N. Y, told of some very sue.
cessful tests he had made in making
paving brick from blast furnace Stag,
These bricks were worth about $50
per thousand in 1915. They may be
successfully made of almost any blast
furnace Stag at cost of S5 to 81 per
thousand. He figures that there is at
present available about 100000 tons
of Stag annually in the United States,
after leaving 100000 tons for cement
manufacture. This would provide
2,000000,000 bricks for permanent good
roads every year-say, for 1000 miles
annually of 50-foot road
Time and again failure has been en-
countered in the effort to make paving
brick in this manner, but the problem
seems to be fairly well worked out
now. The Stag must be treated hot as
it comes from the furnace, and the
brick must be heated out of contact
with air or steam lest it become brittle.
