America Is Surpassed by
Europe in Eating Potatoes

In this country the chief and pract-
cally only interest in the potato today
is as vegetable for the table. We are
greatly surpassed in this use by Eu-
rome, and Germany In particular. In
that land the average annual per
capita consumption was seven bushels
In normal times, while our own was
two and a half. The laborers of east
ern Germany ate seventeen bushels
per annum. The other European coun-
tries are. as rule. far above us and
the diet of many an Irishman is said
to be potatoes and spring water-for
breakfast, dinner and supper. In addi-
ton to this direct consumption, uses
of the potato largely unknown to Uncle
Sam are for flour. starch, dextrine.
glucose and alcohol.

Evidence Indicates Indian
Late Conner, Compared With
Residents During Ice Age

Several scientific Investigators agree
that the Indian as we know him is a
comparatively late conner. Whether he
arrived by way of Alaska from Asia
may never be discovered, but the relics
OF his civilization are believed to date
back not more than few thousand
years at most, observes a writer in
Boys Life. There is much evidence
on the other hand to indicate that
men lived in North America at the
close of the ice age and perhaps dur
ing the glacial period. The evidence
is found for the most part In the Ohio
and Delaware valleys The rude in
Struments these men used In their
hunting and homes have been found
buried deep in gravel which is be-
lieved to date back to the close of the
ice age. If this be the case men
lived in America 10000 or $1,000 years
ago. Some geologists believe that the
gravel deposits are considerably old
er. How these men found their way
to America in remote antiquity, how
much of the land they occupied and
where they disappeared are perhaps
the most fascinating problems in
American archaeology. The patient
Investigations of many trained scien-
lists are carrying us every day nearer
the answer.

Chinese Schools in lava
Established With Hope OF
Keeping Language Alive

In the hone of preserving kno~l-
edge of the Chinese language, litera-
ture and the Confucian ethics, Huel
Kuan schools were established In
every large town in Java as bait to
the youth Of the land. The schools
are thoroughly tnodernlZed and
uoungster can study English and other
European languages, geography, his
tory and n score Of other things un-
der competent instructors. so long as
Chinese is studied at the same time.
As further inducement to attend
ance. all Chinese instruction is car
red on in The mandarin, or official,
Chinese language. so that any student
who returns to China will be prepared
to talk to the educated of all prov
inces and will not be confined to
petty boundaries of any of the numer-
Gus Southern dialects. Chinese, how
ever. gets little attention from the
students, who seem to regard the
study of 1t as useless drudgery, and
who devote their whole time and in
terestS to the subjects which will be
of most assistance to them in the COM
mercial world All local business in
lava Is conducted in Malay, and all
foreign business in English.
Scores of patriotic youngsters who
graduate from Huel Kuan schools go
to China yearly, upon their gradua-
ton. and enter military colleges there,
eventually finding their way into the
Chinese army.

Paris, March 5.-The French gov
ernment will make determined opposl-
ton to any revision of the treaty OF
Versailles that would modify her
claims on Germany, ii has been
learned.
The attitude of the French govern
ment, according to the official poinf
of view, is in perfect accord with the
sentiments of the new Chamber OF
Deputies. 1t is held that any further
concessions by the French government
to Germany Would not be tolerated
by Parliament and, if made, the gov
ernment would be overthrown.
The French official view of the eco
nomic situation, il was stated in au-
thoritative circles, is the same as that
set forth in London" that is, that
Europe must be put on n prosperous
basis. The French, however, 1t was
pointed out, are beginning to think
their allies have forgotten that France
herself is not on a prosperous basis
and not in Il position to make conces-
sions that would affect her own eco
nomic interests to any one, least of all
to Germany

DAMN ROCKEFELLER ~

Is it not about time for the people to
come to their senses and damn the like
of Rockefeller? And is it not about
time for those whose duty it is to form
ulate a law that will protect the people
of this country from being filched by
any such game?
Pinch and squeeze the pennies out of
the people and you pauperlze the ma
ton. 1t is sapping the backbone and
creating discomfort; and without con-
tentment and backbone our country
would belize unto China, or worse.
Rockefeller, by this sappng process,
has become one of the richest of men Of
all time. What does he and his associ-
ates not control? Present conditions
through the manipulatiOns Of such men
are bad enough, but the future, the
final result. presages something fright
fu, If such proceedings are not perma-
nently checked. and at this time.
1t will be remembered that during
the recent holiday season, Rockefeller
donated some millions of dollars for what
he terms science and philantropic pur-
poses, that he may be heraded as a
great samaritan Bosh Only day
or so thereafter up went the price oils
which Rockefeller controls. As the
amount Of oil used daily in this country
is something enormous, and the raise
was no doubt sufficient to make good
the amount donated in his name. it is
plain, very plaie, to see that the peo-
Pile were squeezed that they actually
provided the amount Of the donation
that the poor dubs got no credit, Rock
efeller practically demands the credit
Man to man, is not such a process
samnabIo?
On top of this, out came last Satur-
days dailies announcing that oil had
gone up another cent per gallon, eff
fective 81 over the United States.
Rockefeller and his bunch do not
need the extra money this raise will
bring the'u. They now have many
times more than is necessary o provide
them with the best the world affords
It's an awful game Of fleeing and
