BAD THERMOMETERS
CAUSE FRUIT LOSS
FAILURE TO REGISTER AC-
CURATE DEGREE OF COLD,
MEANS LOSS TO GROWERS.

LOS ANGELES-In inaccurate ther-
mometers have caused citrus growers
so much loss that the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, according to
DR.. Ford A. Carpenter, of the depart
ment of meterology and aeronautics
of that institution, has decided to
open a new department where the in
struments may be tested
The Chamber has received from
Washington, D. c., thermometer
which was in the testing room six
months. With this as a standard, in
struments sent in by citrus growers
will be tested for each degree from
"a to 100. The variance at each point
will be noted and recorded for the
benefit of the grower.
1t is said the chamber will be the
only station outside of Washington,
D. c., to give this service, and it is
expected many growers throughout
Southern California and perhaps in
other sections of the state will take
advantage of it.
"The loss of an entire crop may re-
suit from the faith of the grower in
a thermometer which is registering
freezing point when it may be cold
er," said DR.. Carpenter.

OLD WORLD WANTS
AMERICAN AUTOS

LION DOLLARS WORTH EX-

WASHINGTON-The whole world
seems to be demanding motor vehicles
and is looking to the United States
for it's supply. Records of the De-
partment of Commerce for the fiscal
year 1920, just ended, show that auto
mobiles and parts of automobiles
valued at $232, ,252,376 were shipped
from this country. This was nearly
nine times the total value of such
exports before the war.
The number of commercial cars
exported during the IL months end

was second in the matter of both
types of cars taking 2,443 commercial

AMERICA NEXT TO
ENGLAND IN SHIPS
UNITED STATES SECOND IN
TONNAGE-JAPAN THIRD
AND FRANCE, FOURTH.

LONDON-According to Lloyds
Register Of Shipping for 1920-21 just
issued, the seagoing tonnage of the
United States apart from Great
Lakes shipping, has increased since
1914 by over 800 percent and now
stands at 12,406,00O tons. Thus the
United States comes second only to
the United Kingdom which has 49,
1000 tons.
Japan, which in 1914 took sixth
place, is now third, with 100000
tons, closely followed by France, with
100000 tons.
Including sailing ships, but ex-
cluding tonnage on the Great Lakes,
the United States now owns "a per
cent Of the worlds tonnage, as again
st At per cent six years ago, the Reg
lister states.
The figures shown for the formerly
belligerent countries include con-
siderable amount of enemy tonnage
Professionally allotted to those coun-
tries. Germany, which in 1914 oc-
cupied, after the United Kingdom,
the first position with over 100000
tons of shipping, now only owns 49,
900 tons.
The steam tonnage owned Dy Cne
principal maritime countries in June
1920, totalled 53,9O5,000, an increase
of 8,5O1 900 tons as compared with
June 1914; but it is computed that
the worlds net loss in shipping
through the war, taking into account
the suspension in normal shipbuild-
ing activities, amounts to 3,516,000
tons.
There is a reduction in sailing ton
mage since per-war days of 1000
tons, much smaller decrease than
in any previous six year period and
doubtless accounted for, says the
Register, by the shortage of other
tonnage having given new life to the
construction of sailing vessels. The
United States, the only country which
has increased sailing tonnage since
1914, now owns over 43 per cent of
the worlds sailing tonnage.
