WHEx CORN IS USED FOR FUEL

When corn is 81 cents a bushel
it is as cheap fuel as coal at SIG
:. ton, according to Secretary
Wallace Of the Department of
Agriculture. At 20 cents bus
hel it is as a fuel as cheap as
coal at SO a ton. "Undoubted-
ly," he says, Large quantities
of corn will be burned on West
ern farms this winter unless the
price should materially ad-
vance. In Argentina, corn is
burned today not only on farms
but in power plants.
AS statement of economic
fact this cannot be disputed. 1t
is simply a count of calories and
carbon units. But when food is
burned for fuel the mind fits
to Vienna, to Petrograd, to War
saw, to river towns on the Volga
where millions of people are fac
ing the prospect Of privation at
best, starvation for many, and
where American relief workers
could so helpfully use that 'fuel''
for food.
No hint of blame should dark
en- the homes that by the stern
laws of economics are forced to
burn corn. The coal-burners are
as truly victims as are the starv-
ing wretches many miles away of
the failure of civilization to solve
the !problem of distribution of
food, the problem of the price
of coal. We point, and justly,
to the breakdown Of production
and transportation in Soviet
Russia as an Indictment of the
Government and as the hand
maid of famine. Is our own re-
cord quite spotless when corn
that starving people need is
burned because it is cheap while
coal is dear?-New York World.

Three thousand years before Christ they were work ing an u}ahaSter quarry al Fl Amar- ua. II miles from the Nile and 2O0 miles above Memphis. From this quar- ry they transported blocks of a.abas- .er. each many tons in weight, Co Mem nnfs in the following manner. They nu.It a road. much as We should build .t Dow, from the quarry to the river bank with smooth surface of pounded stone.
 The blocks were quarried by means of wooden wedges driven in at in tcrrulS along the cleavage line. When soaked with water, the wedges eT' banded and split or the stone, which Was then shaped and dressed with chiscIs and drills of very hard bronze. The blocks were mounted on sleds and dragged by gangs of slaves the n miles 10 the river, the road being wa,ered, possibly oiled. to make it slippery under the sled runners tthey had no whpclS).

'AIucriCmiDcd" English Is Now the Prcdomiuating Foreign
 Language of SOyiets

Moscow, Nov. Spy a stan cor respondent of the Associated Press) English, or rather American, has become the prodominating foreign language in the Bolshevist foreign office. and in all government depart meuts and in Moscow generally.
 Fourteen thousand Russians, or naturalfzed Americans of Russian origin. came to Russia when the rev ouHon opened up the doors for them. They streamed across Siber- ia for months and found their way tu their homes in the land Of revolu- uou.
 The number of Euglish-speakiug persons has been swelled by depor- ratious from America and by emi- grants from England and its colo nies who were interested in the eX- pcrimeuts which the Soviets were working out.
 Through their training abroad, most of these English-speaking per sons were better equipped for gov cumeut work than native Russians and have made their way into i'm portaut places with the government in both Asiatic and European Rus sia.
 Three years ago most of the Rus siaus returned from America were extremely bitter in their denuncia- ton of the United States. But they have modified. Their experience in helping them to run a government has taught them it is not as easy as 1t looks. They have changed as tae entire Soviet government has changed. and it is not unusual Co hear them speak with affection of America. They look toward Amer ica for help. Mos, Of them insist that America is t-e only country which is broad enough in gauge to develop country tle size of Rus sia.
 Almost without exception, the Russians who have been in America believe the American child-feeding is an initial step toward recog- milton. They have ceased denouRc- ing America us an exploited land The floods of abuse are now poured out on France, Poland and Rumau- ia. After the United States. Eng land seems to be most iu favor, with Germany a close third.
 Language schools in Moscow have great demand for English les sons and secondhand book stalls in The markets find a ready sale for English boohs.-EN.

BIRCH TIMBER BEING
 SHIFTED FROM ALASKA

Birch timber exportation from Al aska to the states has been started from Cook Inlet, according 10 .Aiio Kelly. prominent Willow Greek min ing operator, who, with LeopIod Da- vid of Anchorage, holds the first per init issued by the Department or h. terior for cutting birch timber in the territory for export Mir. Kelly said that approximately 100000 feet of birch would be shipped out this fall and 2,OOO,OOO feet cut during the winter for shipment next season.
 The permit issued Mir. Kelly and his associated has been turned over to an operating company which IS getting out the timber. This com pany is shipping the logs direct to Seattle, no mill having been put in on Cook Inlet to handle the product It is expected that a mill will be i'm stalled next season and the logs manufactured into lumber ready for veneer before shipment
 According to MT. Kelly, virtually all of the timber under permit is situated on land contiguous to Cook Inlet and can be handled without heavy cost The trees are cut and logs rafted in the inlet and lowed. across by scows to convenient load ing places. The first shipment of logs will probably go south on tac Valdez within a few days.-EE.
