limit in his plans for further develop ment of scientific research.
 Chancellor Bowman said that when the new buildings are built and equipped the University of Pittsburgh will have a new plant complete in every detail costing approximately $50, 0,00O,000. He also announced that within a very short time there would be at least 10000 students at Pitt" It is intended to make Pitt the worlds greatest scientific school
 Its scientific researches are not on the theoretical order, but of the most practical nature, intended to benefit industries of all kinds in a big way geniuses as Langley, the inventor of the flying machine, and John G. Brashear, world-famous astronomer.
 Chancellor Bowman, speaking of the gift and the intended use Of the site, said:
 "Mr R. B. Mellon and Secretary A. w. Mellon are Interested in the
 university because it makes for a greater, happier and more prosperous Pittsburgh district. The conviction of these two men that Pittsburgh
 must have university second to none
 in the world in it's power to turn out men and women with the right train ing and the right character is the req son why the Prick Acres came to the
 university. Their decision. further is based upon confidence that the men and women of Pittsburgh, in ac- cordance with their ability, will hell create here a university which will be distinguished in it's service to the community. Obviously the acquisi- tion of these acres implies great ma 1 terial development for the university in the near future. The time has | come for action"

'"The following figures show how the demand for coal from abroad has increased during the past few months: The average export per month for the first seven months of the present yeal was 977, 1895 tons. The exports for the months of August and September were: August 3,103,- POT tons; September, 3,406,579 tons.
 This means that almost as much coal was exported during these two months as in the whole of the first seven months of the year.
 '"The figures for October are not available yet, but indications point to a further increase. Recently there have been active inquiries at Cardlff from abroad for coal.

 ''The home trade has in the mean time steadily improved. The opening up of more industries has increased the demand. This is reflected in the increased output"

Washington, Dec. 12.-American prestige in the intense struggle for world trade must be maintained. To this end American colleges and unt- versailles are rapidly extending their activities in preparing the youth of the nation to enter the battle fully equipped to maintain this countrys position among the foremost powers contending for world trade, according to Dr. Glen Levin Swiggett, widely known educator and noted authority on foreign service work.
 Dr. Swiggett laid great emphasis upon the remarkable growth in American colleges and universities in recent years in respect to educational preparation for foreign service, and for commerce in particular
 The development of foreign service training in American educational in situtions can largely be attributed to the personal efforts of Dr. Swiggett as chairman of the Committee of Eff teen on Educational Preparation for Foreign Service.
 The Committee of Fifteen was ap- pointed in 1916 by the Commissioner of Education of the Department of the Interior to investigate and report from time to time upon this import ant type of training, and Dr. Swiggett, for many years a eliminating figure in foreign service educational training, was named it's chairman.
 Realizing the imortance of broad ening the scope of foreign service ed-
 
 sities of the country, Dr. Swiggett speaking before general meetings of the National Educational Association on several occasions directly cha1- lenged the higher educational institu- tions 'to show whether the Nation can prepare for our foreign service of business and government, of church and society, by building on and through our established educational system"
 Challenge Gets Results The results of this challenge, in the opinion of Dr. Swiggett, followed by the universal scramble for world trade as an inevitable aftermath of the World War, are beginning to mani fest themselves.
 ''Ih is indeed gratifying he said, ''to note at this time the splendid manner in which this challenge has been met by our colleges and univer- sites, nearly 12 CT cent. of which have foreign trade in particular" According to recent statistics sub-

n1itted to Dr. Swiggetts Committee | of Fifteen there are now II American higher educational institutions offer ing this special training. The 10 highest each reported an enrollmen* of more than 100 students taking for eigp trade, totalling 2,255 students. out with extreme satisfaction, about one-fifch the total number of stu dents enrolled for all courses in col legiate schools of business reporting to the Bureau of Education only five years ago.
 Commenting on the attractiveness of the foreign trade training now be- ing offered by colleges aand universi- ties all over the country, Dr. Swiggett said:
 Variety In Instruction 'AThe variety and character of in structton now being offered as prepa- ration for foreign trade in our larger universities reveal at a glance the | satisfactory educational response in | this field to the demands of business l in recent years for trained and in | formed personnel in the conduct of
 our rapidly developing foreign trade The many angles of approach to
 world trade. in the opinion of Dr.
 Swiggett, require a high level of intel 1igence, of vision and character, of | skill and information, to enable its | successful prosecution by an indfvid-
 ual, corporation or nation. "In view | of which, he added, lone observes with satisfaction the careful and stu | dious preparation now going on in our i schools and colleges of young men
 and young women for some career of | usefulness in overseas service, help l ing to strengthen our international
 relations and to increase the Nations s 1 economic prosperity"
 If the present remarkable develop | ment in training for foreign service
 continues, Dr. Swaggett concluded, the 1 young American commercial ambas-
 sador, with his traditional and char | acteristic initiative and virility, will become a dominating factor in decid- 1 ing the ultimate trend of world trade.

POISON YIELDS ID
 LIME IN ACID SOIL
Rhode island Experiment Sta- ton Finds Reason for Well
 Known Remedy
By Associated Press

Providence. R. l., April l0.-Farmers have long made practical use of the knowledge that the application of lime to acid soils will make the correction necessary to insure the growing of good crops but it has remained for the experiment station of the Rhode Island state college at Kingston to explain the real reason for this pr. B. l.. Hart well, director of the station. announced today that a seri, of experiments had fully confirmed the fact that Tit is not the sweetening of the soil by the lime that helps, but it's naturalization of an aluminium compound prejudicial to plant growth.
 As a matter of fact, he said, the addition of certain acids such as acid phosphate making the soil more acid than ever, will produce the same bene- ficial results as the sweetening lime, as they will also neutralize the poison All soils he explained, contain large quantities of aluminium in more or less soluble state. The development or soil acidity oh nges the aluminium to form which is intensely poisonous to any cultivated plants.
 The discovery will not lead to any new method of treating soil acidity as it is shown that lime is the least ex- penSive single material for the pur- pose In many cases the experiments station has found that lime and phos- phate may be used together very ef- 1 fectively.

CANADIAN PREMIER
 SAYS ANGLO-SAXON
 MUST BE AT PEACE
Spirit of Cancellation Between u. s. and Canada Will Do Most to Preserve SngliSh
 Speaking Nations
By Associated Press

Ottawa, April 10.--The wisdom of creat- ing la spirit of concliation' between the people of Canada and the United States thereby strengthening the friendship of the English speaking peoples. was em- phasized by Arthur Meighan, prime min ister of Canada, in an address before the international Rotafy convention which closed here late last night.
 ''This organization" he said, "has a factor to play in that great work. 1t is common place, yet vital and essential to say and 1t is my duty to say it. that the good of the world for the next cen tury depends on the amity and concord of the AngIo-Saxon race, more than on any single thing.
 '1f there was ever a time,'' the prime minister continued, when civilized peo- ple cling with eagerness around the thought to save civilization that time has now come. If, which God forbid, any thing ever arose to destroy the friendly relations that now exist between the two great English speaking nations, then in- deed the future of civilization Is Dlack beyond the powers of description. The hosts of each country have work to per form in their own country"
 Premier Meighen declared he did not al together support the idea that the United States and Great Britain some day should dominate the world. Neither domination nor aggrendizement of power. he said, was the right idea He was cheered when he said the aggrandize- ment of service was the correct ideal.
 ''The United States" the premier con- ciuded lis standing in solitude but in dignity somewhere within the precincts in the League of Nations, Whether or not the United States should join the League of Nations and whether or not the league should develop and justify the great hopes placed in it, Canada is g. member of the great League of Ma tions the British League of Nations, and we. in our generation. our children and our chidrens children will work in this league for the approximation of peace and good will in this world.

PLATINUM IN COLOMBIA
Worlds Largest Source Since Russian
 Production Ceased

New York. April '-(Special)- Presidsnt Harding plans for establish ing more pleasant relations between the United States and the republic of Colombia. meaning much to the mining interests of the United States which have great investments in that coun- try.
 The most prominent of these inter- ests has to do with platinum, for now that the Russian mines are ou} of pro- duction as result of the boishevistic government Colombia is the only i'm portant producer of this precious metal in the world.
 Americans have great investments in the placers of Colombia. The demand for platinum from the United States alone is normally twice the worlds present output. Colombia is now pro- ducing at the rate of 5o.0o0 ounces per annum nearly all of which comes from the properties of the South American Gold and Platinum company Its placers have been in process of de- velopment for nearly 10 years in the hands of various companies which merged to form the present holding company.
 It has been estimated by the com pany officials that the minimum weekly production of the company for 1921 will be in the neighborhood of $32.700, or approximately $1,T00,000 for the year.
 The present cost of dredging is 16 cents per yard. This includes main tenance and all other operating charges.
 The company has at present two dredges in operation. Dredge No. 1 has been working for three years with an annual capacity of 100000 yards. Drkdge Eo ? started operations Au- gust 1s 1920 and has an annual ca pacity of l.000,000 yards Dredge No. 5, with < Eninimum capacity O. 1.500, ,- 00C yards, is TOW being assembled and vii b in operation before the end of the year with these three dredges dig ing. the company will have an an- nuai capacity of approximately 5000, GOO yards per annum.
