1t Is not surprising that the United
states, Where almost every variety OF

cans for preservation. should use
nearly two-thirdS of the total produc-
ton of tin in the world But it may
be an unexpected discovery to find
that the South American country. Ro-
livia supplies about one-quarter Of
the total output. In consequence. Ro-
livia. a producer, wants to make
friends with the tin-using republic

the United States has its own ~melters

to the war. The South American ma

The pastor of q small parish in a

had small choir which he augmented
on special occasions with boys from

sometimes unruly and he did not al

WAGING WAR ON ELEPHANTS

One Of the many after-war shortages
that the world will have to suffer, but
which will not prove the hardship that
other lacks have impressed upon the
people, is that of African elephants
It Is all because the mighty pachy
derms," as the circus bills say, have
appropriated the irrigation canals in
southern Africa for their own parti-
cular bath tubs, and when they plunge
into the cooling water to enjoy their
dips, they are not particular about the
manner in which they tread about the
dams and banks. AS result much

less war on the ponderous and destruc-

the "splashing" variety can appreciate
the feelings of South African farmer
when he views the clutter left by the
elephants. Recent reports say that
no more elephants remain in Zululand,
that southern Rhodesia's herds have
been wiped out and that few are left
in the eastern TransvaaI. The Afri-
can elephants, unlike those from In
