SHINES TURNS
EYES TOWARDS
u. S. INDUSTRY
Name of Ger m a N
Croesus Sn,ashes In
to Wall Street.

New York, Feb. 3.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The name of Hugo
Stinnes-one to conjure with in
Germany-has smashed its way
into Wall street
Big business, particularly the
steel industry, is interested, and is
asking If SHINES has designs on
the commercial and Industrial ac-
tivities OF this country.
Various reports have come to
the United States concerning plans
of the German CroeSuS to extend
his interests to this country, where
he has heretofore been little
known But the first concrete evil
dence of his plans came yesterday
with the announcement that he was
negotiating with several American
railroads for the sale Of $1,000 tons
of German rails-at a price, includ-
ing freight, about $2.25 a ton less
than the current American price of
$40. A mere $4,000 tons is rela-
lively small Offering, worth less
than half million dollars at
SHINES price. But, it was pointed
out, it is a very fair sized initial
offering.
To Visit America?
Whether Mr.. SHINES will follow
up his invasion of American mar
kets by efforts to acquire control
OF American industries, is a ques-
ton. The United States is one of
the few countries in the develop
ment of which he has apparently
taken no hand. There have been
reports that SHINES was contem-
plating visit to the United States
to meet American capitalists, but
no date was set for the visit.
Credited with controlling eight
billion marks of capital and with
being the most powerful figure, in
dustrially and politically, in Ger
many, SHINES rose to the crest of
his power On the war.

FRENCH SLANG
rs MORE CLEVER
THAN ENGLISH

Cleveland. O.-French slang is OF
higher quality than English slang,
which has been improved but little
since its invention, according %
DR.. Clarence Stratton, director of
English in the Cleveland public
schools. The French slang is more
suggestive and more picturesque;
it's clever-which English slang
often isn't. DR.. Stratton said.
! Take the case of George Ruth,
the worlds champion home run hit
ter. for instance" the director con-
tinued. ITO call him Babe and
then to translate Babe into BAN
bino-there's nothing clever in that
But the man who first called a left
handed pitcher a southpaw had a
real idea. Likewise, TO say a pitch
er has a glass arm is clever and
descriptive.
Has somebody handed you a
lemon? That is an. ancient bit of
slang. Likewise. to find yourself
in an awful pickle. Probably both
expressions originated because of
the sour quality of lemons and
pickles. They are expressive and
suggestive. The boy who first call
ed a girl a peach also had a real
idea
''One of two things always hap
pens to slang. 1t is discarded quick
ly or it is incorporated into the
language three or four generations
later.
Slang originates in a desire for
emphasis. Seeking emphasis we
resort to figurative language. And
figurative language at its best, be-
comes figure of speech"
DR.. Stratton said he is not an
advocate of slang. A constant use
of it is the resort of the man or
woman too lazy to seek out the
proper words.

EXPLOIT HOLY
LAND FOR OILS
& AND MINERALS

Jerusalem.-Great interest has
been aroused here by a semi-official
announcement that an agreement
has been reached between
the British government and a
group of men representing the
Zionist organization for the exploit
tation of lands lying beyond the
River Jordan and the Dead Sea. 1t
has always ben known that proper
development would reveal the
presence of oils and other minerals
in great Quantity in that section of
the country
From reliable sources, it is I'M
derstood that the agreement in
wolves a tract of land extending
from the Syrian coast on the north
20 the valley of Mojeb on the
south and from the town of Eltuba
on the east to the River Jordan and
the Dead Sea on the west.
The. company is given a period
of five years in which to carry on
the preliminary work Should oil
or any other minerals be found. an
extension of time would be given
provided the company pays to the
British government 1000 pounds as
a royalty fee. Besides a straight
tax of one shilling is demanded on
each and every ton of oil or other
mineral taken from the ground.
What such q venture will mean
to the life of Palestine is not hard
to. guess. Closely connected with
the search for oil would be the need
for generating electricity from the
waters of the River Jordan with
which to carry on the work. Rail-
road lines would also have to be
constructed in all directions, in or
der to facilitate transportation of
the mineral products found. With
Oil, electricity and railroads, Pales-
tine would be bound to receive a
great impetus toward industrial
progress.
Thesstriking feature of the whole
affair is that 1t points to a depar-
ture on the part of the government
from its waiting policy as regards
new enterprises. The government
of Palestine is poor and lacks funds
with which to develop the hidden
resources of the land Only by pri-
waite initiative and private capital
could the country be built up. 1t
is asserted that thus far the gov
eminent which takes its orders
from London, has not only failed
to lend moral support. but has
gone. soefar as TO discourage and
even stop new ventures.

Made and Packed Crates Are Shown
In Figs. 5 and 6.
Experimental shipments in different
kinds of shipping cases and with the
different methods of packing the eggs
in the cases have been made and the
results compared. An instrument has
been devised for measuring and re-
cording the shocks to which cars con
tanning eggs were subjected while in
transit.
As a result of these experiments the
specialists have recommended methods
OF packing eggs which reduce breakage
to minimum. These methods have
been tried under a great variety of
conditions, and have been Incorporated
as requirements in the railroad and ex-
press classifications for the transpor-
tation of eggs.
Nails In place save claims, it is terse-
ly said; and as shown in figure |,
the number and arrangement of these
necessary in order to conform with
the requirements of the express and
consolidated freight classlfcations are
as follows:

large heads
IS nails for each side. for each end
in center.
81 nails for bottom. 7 In each end 7 IN
center
$ nails for top. in each end for flush
cleat
6 nails for top, in each end. for drop
cleat.
Egg packers are advised to be sure
that they use the correct number of
nails.
When paper-covered excelsior mats
a'e used, flats should not be placed be
tween the mats and the filters. When
cupped trays made of compressed pulp
ale employed, it is best to begin by
placing one 25-cup filler, receiving side

Then place one 16-cup filler, receiving
