New York, Mch. IA living wage and development of industries on large scale is needed to banish the ''almost intoIe1able conditions under which the immense landless popu- lation of Porto Rico have labored for centuries, Joseph Marcus, special agent of the United States Employ ment Service, declares in a report issued by the Department of Labor. The investigator reported that lack of employment for large part of the people, internittancy of occupation and small wages have brought about a critical situation on the island.
 The Porto Rican laborer looks to the United States with its enlighten- ment and leadership in humanitarian ideals to rescue him, the Marcus re- port stated. Both the government and the American Federation of La bor are being appealed to, it was ex- pIafned.
 But before the industries can be expected to enter the Porto Rican field shipping facilities must be in creased, with fast steamers in ser vice; a branch of the Federal Re- serve Bank must be instituted on the island, and there must be more inde- pCIIOC44L5 4dau-O"4A 1dL lAOIS5, dCCOTu- ing to the report. Then, with a big export business, work may be pro- vided for all at fair wages. Now when a 1aborer is working he and his family share a breakfast of only black coffee, a luncheon of rice and beans, rice and codfsh, or codfish and plaintains, and a dinner the same as luncheon, it was stated.
 The Porto Rican is beginning to demand better living conditions, MT. Marcus reported. Strikes, organized and supported by the Free Fedora tfon of Labor which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, take place frequently
 In Agudai1la, one of Porto Rico's principal towns, characterized as the strike breakers district and the poorest section of the island,' in stances abound where families eat only once a day and have meat but once in year, the report said, add ing that about 30 per cent. of the population in the district have tuber- culosis. Hookworm and other tropical diseases abound throughout the en- tire country.
 Describing the "jibaro' or moun- tain dwel1er and principal factor in the labor problem of Porto Rico, since the constitutes nearly 80 per cent. of the population, the Marcus report sums up the situation as fol- lows:
 'This jfbaro is still living in the same environment under which his ancestors lived one or two hundred years ago. He builds his little shack on land that does not belong to him and he works, when work is to be

DELIVER FARM
 PRODUCTS OVER TROLLEY LINES
Farm to Home" Scheme Being Worked Out In
 Connecticut.

New Haven, March 1.---An e8peris ment in use of the hamper for carry, ing products of the farm from the farmer to the city householder, is be- ing tried out in Connecticut. The Department of Agriculture has ap- proved the idea which is patterned on that of the parcel post rural ser vice. The street railway express is the medium of transportations, not the mails.
 A farmer may take orders by tele- phone or mail, fill up a hamper and deliver it to the street railway com pany which maintains an auxiliary express service along it's lines with automobile delivery in the cities. Eggs poultry, potatoes, apples and other farm products, ordered over the wire may be delivered in a few hours with as much care as a marketnlan in town gives to his. city customer
 The New Haven County farm bur eau, which for 8 year has studied To- cal marketing, by survey found the possibilities of the trolley express were such as to develop a farm to table, delivery by means of nome hamper" Connecticut is gridironed with trolley lines. Tens of thousands of farmers can see cross country troll ley lines pass. Express cars pick up wayside freight or express matter al

FRANCE TO USE RADIO PLANTS IN .
 HER COLONIES

MT. Boutillon, head of the French government wireless department, has worked out in detail a plan which, if it is adopted, will put France in wireless communication with all the French territory the world over.
 What he proposes is a continuous line of wireless stations of about 3,700 miles range which will include Tahiti, New Caledonia, Indio-China, Djfbuti, Senegal, Martinique and France.
 France, of course, would be the center of the worldwide system of communication, and would do its part with one station of medium power for the transmission of mes sages to North Africa, and three sta- tions of sufficient power to reach re- spectively the United States, Mar unique and Brazil, and West Africa and Djibuti.
 In addition to the four stations in France, the plan calls for three double stations, which means a large station and a medium one respec- lively in West Africa, at Djfbuti and in Indio China; stations of high power at Martinique, Tahiti and New Caledonia. and stations of medium

the murder. The only clue the po- lice have is a number of blood stain ed finger prints on the basement walls
 The fourth tragedy occurred in the north of England. Neighbors in the town of Bolton, Lancashire, heard knockings on their wall in the early hours of the morning, and breaking into the house next door, discovered that an aged man had been awakened by thief who denanded the keys tC his safe. He had refused them and had been beaten into unconsciousness
 The house had been torn into the greatest disorder, but the keys to the safe where he had kept about $3,000 had not been discovered. The man died later in the day.
 Lady Loughborough has been rob bed of jewels worth $5O,O00. A fla nous London firm of jewellers lost rings worth $25,OO0. A resident in Wimbledon, on the western outskirts of London, lost family heirlooms worth $15O,00O.
 Another sensation is a series of post officie raids. In the latest case thieves took out a safe at 6 o'clock in the morning loaded it into a motor car and drove off. It contained stamps and coin worth S4,70O. The crime wave has had it's humor- ous as well as it's tragic incidents. There is for instance, the case of the burglar who entered the residence of high police official and, before his job was half done. opened the front door to admit a policeman who had called with a message for his super l for

IMPROVING GERMAN DYES.

Dyes, chemicals, and drugs have been attracting capital into their pro- duction and distribution. The au- thorized capital of companies organ iZed in the United States for these purposes during the three years, 1917-1919, is placed at $331, 1000, 900. The technical journals report decided American successes in making dyes. By using American Intermediates and the cIeyerness of American chemists, American companies declare they have surpassed the purity of shade in German origina- dyes.-The Ma tion'S Business.

 The plan conteInplates use of q un- form hamper of varying sizes, easily handled as express, recognized by car crews and automobile drivers as containing foodstuffs with the possi- bility of perishable articles, like dressed poultry, or breakables, like eggs.
 Experimental hampers hold enough food to last a family several days. Success of the plan depends largely upon the initiative of farmers in se- curing customers who are willing to have delivery made in this way.

BIC EATERS GET
 KIDNEY TROUBLE: 2: Take Salts at first sign of
 Bladder irritation or Backacne.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kid neys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like lumpa of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment Or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam ous sa.ts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,. combined with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- iure, make delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.-Adv.
