DISTORT NEWS
SENT FROM ONE
LAND To ANOTHER

CHICAGO, April There is a
very great difference in the effect
created by the report of some start
ling item OF news which occurs in
a country itself and one which IS
reported overseas, according to Sir
Arthur Steel Maitland, British under
secretary of state for foreign affairs
and head Of the British department
Of overseas trade the last part OF
the world war Sir Arthur pointed
this out while in Chicago delivering
the 1921 N. w. Harris lectures at
Northwestern university.
IF for example," Sir Arthur said,
any public man Of the United States
were to be guilty of an indiscretion,
it would be quite quickly understood
here and no harm would result. It
might be spoken as far west as Cali
fornia, but though Washington is
nearly 5000 miles away, it would be
discounted there and not put above
its proper value.
The trouble is that when the 5000
miles intervening are miles of seas
and not miles of land, it makes 1t
quite a different proposition There
is a continuous interchange OF views
from New York through the middle
west, and right through to California
and Oregon. But no halfway house
is to be found in the Atlantis where
people habtually meet and discuss

BIG SUGAR CROP
FOR AUSTRALIA

SYDNEY, n S W, April l.
Australian sugar growers are going
for their lives, they say, in making
large paintings this year for the
1921 sugar crop II the paintings
pass the cyclone season safely the
crop will be one OF the largest in
the islands history
Planters are anxious to put in all
the sugar they can because the
government has guaranteed a price
Of 80 pounds sterling a ton to them.
The government sells the refined su-
gar at 40 pounds a ton and it reaches
the retailer at pence
Australia's 1920 sugar crop, the
crushing of which has just been
completed, amounted to approximate
ly 10000 tons. which is 100000 tons
short Of the commonwealth require
ments, a drought having cut down
the production As a result Austria
liza this year will have to import su-
gar, but next year should have more
than enough
For the past year Australia has
been getting sugar at the low price
Of pence or 12 cents a pound, de
spite the fact that it was much high
er at times in other parts Of the
world The price Of pence may be
lowered II the production is heavy
this year
On account of the guaranteed price
the government has been losing
money, as the Australian shortage
has made it necessary to import su-
gar Foreign sugar has been bought
by the government for as high as 20
pounds sterling, yet has reached the
consumer at 6 pence

MARKET RETAINED.
STRONG UNDERTONE
Interest centered Largely in
Specialties, Making Trading
Very Spotty

New York. Jan. 6.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
While the total volume of trading was
not large in today's stock market, there
were intervals in which excellent dis
plays Of constructive activity were made
and the bears were constrained to be
very much on the alert against the ne
cessity for quick covering. The result
was strong undertone consistently
maintained. AS copper issues were the
feature Of the trading yesterday so
were the motor shares today, with Sec
ondary interest attaching to the sugars,
tobaccos and rubber and tire stocks.
There was good buying also IN the oil
group, although fluctuations in that
quarter reflected anything but stability.
There was a spread Of 3 to 8 points in
such issues as Mexican Petroleum, Pan
American and one or two others, some
times representing substantial net
gain aud again a similar net loss.
The coppers were barely more than
steady. In the afternoon period a good
deal of attention was paid to various
specialties. Atlantic Gulf got as high
as 73. but dropped back point or two.
American International was strong
United States Rubber was bid I'D pro-
gressively and the leading equipments
were in demand. The steels got into
the swing likewise with more conserva-
tive gains, however. The railroad de-
partment was quieter than the indus
trial, but fairly good gains were re-
corded there as well. Little more was
heard about pool to take over all the
surplus copper metal in this country.
and the stimulus behind the buying of
copper shares in Wednesdays market
was largely gone.
There was very little in the way OF
definite developments to be brought into
play as market factors. Reports coming
from the industrial field were in their
nature constructive and commanded a
certain amount of interest, Of course,
although as a direct influence on stock
values at this juncture they were not
important. Indirectly. however, indi-
cations Of q somewhat better turn in
the motor industry caused n distinct
revival Of interest in the motor group.
which. in turn, touched other issues and
caused the bears to resort to covering
here and there.
The course of the foreign exchanges
was interpreted as promising better
things in the credit position, although
the recent brisk advance in sterling was
supplemented by an irregular movement
following an early rise in rates for
checks to above 800. Call money rates
continued the even tenor Of their way
at z per cent. with only a nomin al
market in time funds. Somewhat easier
conditions were anticipated later in the
month, when the more burdensome
obligations of the first Of the year should
be out Of the way.

 MISSOULA, Mont.-Miss Lou Alta Melton is assistant bridge engineer of the L. S Department of Public Roads, and is attached to the head quarters office at Missoula.
 Among her proudest possessions is a membership card in the American Association of Engineers.
 The woman who has taken an en- gineering course has been grounded thoroughly in reasoning" she says This is because an engineering course of today is not narrow, as il once was, but trains one in mathe- matics, chemistry, geology. physics the principles of industrial manage ment and the political and public problems of the day. It touches every phase of industry and activity
 While it is doubtful if ever wo- man will. take up engineering as a pre- ofession to the extent that men have. it is evident that the highest attainment of he human race will come only when men and women work shoulder to shoulder for the same purposes and ideals.''
 Miss Melton graduated from the University of Colorado. receiving a degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Less than a score of such degrees have been granted to women throughout the country.
