TOXIC CENSUS SHOWS YANKEES
 SECOND HIGH

Tokio, April 29-Amer1cans rank second in the Hist of foreigners resid- ing in the capital city of Japan, tt was announced recently by the Met ropolitan police department of Tokio. Of the 5,245 foreigners living in Tokio 65S of them are Americans, ac- cording to these 1921 figures.
 A notable increase in the Germans living in Tokio is one of the outstand- ing features of the announcement. As a reason for this is given the fact that German business men are at tempting to regain ground lost here during the Great War. The 50 Ger mans who lived in Toikio during the war have increased to 127 already. China ranks first in the list and Great Britain's residents are third. The list follows: Chinese, s,466; Americans, 653; British. 367; Rus sians, 227; Germans, 127; French, 92; Filipinos. 37; Hollanders, 2S; Siwss. 26; Hindoos, 21; Italians, 21; Swedes, 20; Czechs, Is; Siannese, 15; Portuguese. 13;; BeIgians. 13; Argen- tinfans, 12; Spaniards, 12; Chilians.

DUTCH GOVERNMENT
 AXES CONTROL

Washington, April 29 - How the milk profteerS were put under the ban in Meth erlandS, and the public provided with adequate milk supplies at low prices was explained in a re- port Sby American Consul Anderson at Rotterdam.
 The Dutch government took over full control of the dairy industry, buying the output of the milk pro- ducers and reselling it to the public practically at cost. Consul Anderson said the governm ent pays the dairy men about 20 cents a gallon. Then 1t is sold to milk dealers, who are all lowed to make profit of about four cents per gallon in sales to the public. Anderson said the Dutch governm ent by this method actually loses, through transportation and other costs which accrue in handling.
 Profieteers in Netherlands, through heavy eXoprTts of milk to German ter ritory at high prices, ran prices high, making prices for milk and milk pro- ducts almost prohibitive for the poor. Anderson said the government bureau receives and distributes about 60,0o0 gallon of milk day. Shipments of 10000 gallons go to Germany daily

BOY NEARLY SOLVES
 TRIsECTION PROBLEM

Lawrence, Mass, April 2S-Ed- ward F. F'ratz, of this city, senior at Massachusetts Institute of Techno- logy. has come to the rescue of the mathematical savants who are falter- ing over the possibility of trisecting an arc, a problem on which ancient geometricians have fallen down.
 Recently a Lynn high school stu dent believed that he had solved the problem The Lawrence lad disputes the Lynn boys theory and has evolved system whereby an arc may be tri- sected. The method, while it is not accurate, reduces the margin of error to an infinitesimal degree.
 ''Tech" professors say that the Lawrence boy is nearer to the correct solution which has troubled the wise heads of the past He worked out his lew theory in three hours.

without marked changes in prices or
in activity. A few shares have chang

A year has made wonderful
change in the value of local public
utility shares and also bonded obli-
change in sentiment with regard to
these same securities.
A year ago the street railways had
few friends outside of their share
holders and bondholders.
They were the subject of much I'M
| favorable criticism, the securities ire
quently went begging even in the
prosperous days following the war.
| when other investments were racing
| speedily to higher prices and to the
fall that follows inflated values.
| Neither a boom nor a break in Wall
street had any effect on local securi-
| ties. although usually there was a
/ little sympathy between the Two,
| especially when weakness dominated
! the major market.
Public utility corporations com
PEELED to do new financing found IL
much more profitable to borrow at
| banks. putting up note and bona IS
sues as collateral. rather than sicrl-
ficing them at the market.
Conditions today. however, do not
