distinctly clever in his black and

oi the great tragedian rather than of
the archaic form of the play.
Miss Anglin has taken into account
all there is on record concerning the
method Of production thirty centuries

has looked to the "Iphigenia" itself.
Combining the potency of the original
Greek with the free interpretative

this has nothing to do with the mis-

The transposition was discovered
when an x-ray picture was taken by
DR.. Clarence T. Ball here to determine
the condition Of the lungs. It had been
known that Bowen's heart was not in

showed the stomach on the opposite

the right and the vermiform appendix
on the left.
Bowen is expected to recover from

U. S. TRADE INCREASE
Report Shows Record Breaking
Foreign Business in 1920.
Exports to the Leading Allies ia the

Commerce Department.

Washington, D. Increased trade
with Germany, South America, the ORR

accounted in large measure for. the
record breaking foreign business OF
the United States in 1920.
A compilation of American exports

sued by the department Of commerce,
shows that exports to Great Britain,
France and Italy fell off sharply. Those
countries, however, increased their
shipments to the United States, as did
practically all the other important ma
tons.
American trade with the four prin-
cipal South American countries Bra-
I'll, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay
totaled approximately $1,O44, 100000,
as compared with $917, OOO, 900 in 1919.
American exports to these countries
increased more than $1OO,OOOOOO dur
ing 1920, totaling $457, 100000, whereas
imports from these countries increased
only about $25,OOO,OOO, the total being
$587, 100000. ...
Trade with Germany during the year
nearly quadrupled, aggregating $780,
100000, but fell far short of that be-
fore the war. Exports to Germany
reached $211, 100000, against $50 OOO,-
700 the year before, and imports from
that country totaled $92OOO,OOO, as
compared with $10,0o0,O0O the year be-
fore. - +
American trade with Cuba alone in
1920 exceeded $1,2OO,OOOOOO, increas-

ALONG COAST
Pollution of Water and Catching

Condition.
new JERSEY STARTS MOVE
Experienced Fishermen Say That Sup

Seriously DepIeted-other Sea-
board States Are Sufferers.

Newark, N. IA movement has
been started in New Jersey to save
from determination the migratory fish
which spawn in one place and move
along the Atlantic coast with the
changing of the seasons as
mackerel, menhaden, herring and nu-
merous other varieties peculiar to GER
tain localities on this coast. Expert
enced fishermen declare that the sup
ply Of these migratory fish has been
seriously depleted by the pollution Of
the areas in which they spawn and by
the reckless manner in which they
have been caught in nets. ,.. 49,
The method proposed by the New
Jersey Fish and Game Conservation
league to prevent from determination
is to induce the United States govern
ment to take control of and regulate
the catching Of these fish and stop poll

Regulate the size Of the meshes of

Of the most perplexing phases Of the

menhaden industry The menhaden,
otherwise known as mossbunker, which
once sWarmed along the coast in meal
culable numbers, attracting hordes OF
edible fishes that preyed on them, have
been slaughtered right and left to pro-
duce oil and fertilizer. In the view of
experts their end is not far off, and
with their passing will disappear from
Atlantic coastal waters many of such
edible species as now remain.
Fisheries Board Breaks Down.
Efforts to cope with the problem
through state regulation here have
failed utterly, the last straw being the
complete breakdown Of the state board
Of fisheries, which had been created
by legislative enactment with view to
increasing the supply Of food fishes and
reducing the cost to the consumers.
The five members Of the board resigned

HISTORIC TRAC7
BEING RECLAIMED
Famous Champagne Romana",Is
Being Cultivated and Is
Yielding Big Crops.
LAYS idle FOR MANY YEARS
Since tho Fall of the Roman Empire
This Once Fruitful Tract Has Been
UncuItivated-To Reclaim Many
Thousand Acres.

Ostia, Italy.-Efforts are being made
to reclaim and plant parts of the vast
tract Of land which stretches for sew
eral miles around Rome and goes by
the name Of the Champagne Romana."
It has been allowed to remain idle and
uncultivated- ever since the fall of the
Roman empire.
Before that time it was a sort of
terrestrial paradise; villas and gar
dens we're dotted all over it as far as
the eye could see, it was luxuriant
with fruits and flowers, it supplied
food and work for thousands upon
thousands Of men, it was one of the
most beautiful and intensely cultfvat-
ed spots in the world x
When Rome, however, was obliged
to resign her position as "the mistress
of the world" the "campagna'' was
abandoned and gradually became a
marshy, malaria-infected desert, in
habited only by a few hardy shep-
herds.
New Law Having Effect.
Now, however, the law which was
recently passed, decreeing that any
one who does not cultivate his land
to the utmost of it's capacity, is liable
to have the land confscated, is be-
ginning to have it's effects. Prince
Aldobrandini has engaged a company
to reclaim huge estate of several
thousands of acres, which he owns in
the ''campagna." - -
The work already has begun and
an experimental station has been set
!. up at: Ostia. The land was first of
all drained and then arrangements
were made to obtain water from the
Tiber for irrigation. Electric tractors
to draw the p1ows we're then bought
and various kinds Of fruit, vegetables
and cereals we're cultivated in order
to find out how fertile the land is and
what kind Of crop it is most adapted
for.
Yields Plentiful Crops.
The results were beyond the Wild
est hopes Of any of the promoters Of
the company. The land, after lying
idle for centuries. seems to have
stored up its fertility throughout all
that time and now yields crop upon
crop with unstinting hand.
An attempt has even been made to
grow cotton here and the experiment
has been successful, but how success
full it has been impossible to deter
mine, as the cottonseed used was of
the worst quality obtainable. This
year, however, it is proposed to plant
American or Egyptian cotton. So hap
