peanuts having nearly doubled and that of the oil increased about 50 per cent during the year, despite the very large increase in quantity
 Most of the peanuts and peanut oil imported originate in China, a part of them sent direct from the ports of China and 2 larger part of them from Japan, which has established great vegetable oil factories since the development of world demand for vegetable oil for food pur- poses.
 Peanuts, believed to be a native of Brazil. but long since transferred to oth- CT parts of the world, are how grown in great quantities throughout the trop- ical and sub-tropfcal sections of the globe, and their use for food purposes, now that man has recently incfeased his use of vegetable fats for food purposes srapidly increasing, and promises to still further develos> in view of the ease 0 ftheir production by simple agricul- tufal methods, and the more important fact that they are composed of about 50 per cent. of oil and 25 per cent. of pro tein.
 The rapid development of the practi- cal use of this once despised agricultura1 product is shown by the fact that in. oui own country the product, which was i'm known commercially prior to 1870, ha6 by 1900 reached 12,oo9,0 ,0o0 bushels, and in 1918 46,00o,e 900 bushels while the bt- reau of crop estimates puts the total farm value of the peanut crop of the United States in 1919 at $S0, 1000, 900 notwithstanding which we have brought from abroad in the fiscal year 1920 over $40, 100000 worth of the nuts and oil.

 This hangar will be the largest in the world, big enough to hold two trans-At- lantie liners the size of the Leviathan. Plans for it originally were drafted when he navy department contracted for the R-3S, a dirigible one-third larger than the R-s4 which flew to the United States trom England last year.
 According to revised specifications, the hangar will be 1000 feet long, 318 feet wide and 200 feet feet high When com pleted, which probably will be next spring, the big lair garage and its aux Hilary power house, machine shops and officers quarters will cost about s5,577,- 700, it was staueu.

Peanuts.

Imports of more than s4e.ooo, ,ooe worth of peanuts and peanut oil in a sin gle year is a new record for the United States, one of the worlds biggest pro- ducers of peanuts. This thenonnenal
 record, says a statement by The Na-
 tional City Bank of New York grows out
 of the new world demand for food oils
 to take the place of animal fats. For
 several years, continues the banks state
 ment, we have been importing large
 quantities of certain food oils, especially those produced from the cocoanut of which the quantity imported has grown from 5S,0o0,000 pounds in 1914 to 356,- 0o0,000 in 1918, while the value of all
 vegetable oils imported jumped from , SPA 100000 in 1914 to SIPS, 3,ooo,0o6 in
 1919, and approximately $40, ,oOo, 900 in 1920.
 But it was left to the humble peanut to show spurt in the race for popuiar- ity in supplying vegetable fats in the fs- cal year 1920, and the quantity of pea
 nut oil imported into this great peanut producing country of ours was; in the 10 months ending with April 1920, 19,- 000,000 gallons against less than S,o06,- 900 in the corresponding months of last year, and less than 1000, 1000 in the year
 preceding the war. Not only was there
 an enormous increase in the quantity of oil imported, but there was also cor
 responding increase in the importation
 of peanuts of which the imports in the 10 months ending with April 1920 were
 valued at s10,00o,oo0, against less than s1,O00,bOo in. the same months of 1919. In the single month of April the latest for which details are available, the imports
 of peanuts aggregated 3o,ooo 900 pounds; ! valued at ss,0Oo,0o0 and those of the oil 1 2.soo,ooo gallons, valued at $4.27s, 900, most of the nuts and oil coming from
 Japan and in lesser quantities from 1 China
