and commercial enterprise Of the Par
sees are proverhial IN the East. and
their credit as merchants is almost
unlimited. Because Of intermarrlage
the race has dwindled down to $4,000.
and for some time there has been a
serious difference among the Parsees
on the question Of proselytism. A
Parsee married French woman. who
took the necessary steps to adopt the
religion Of her husband Bun Il was
decreed by the high court Of India
that. though the creed Of Zoroaster
theoretically admitted proselytes,
their admission was not consistent
with the practice Of the Parsees in
India.

EXHAUSTED LAND
 BIRDS CROSS TO
 ENGLAND ON SHIP
Blown Out to Sea by Winds, Feathered Travellers Find Haven Upon Cunard
 Liner

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 16.-Thousands of American land birds, blown out to sea by unfavorable winds. sought safety on the decks of the Cunard liner Scythia on her last trip from New York. and stayed on board until she doeked in Liverpool. When misfortune overlook the feathered travellers they were migrating, probably from the north Atlantic states to the warm lands bordering on the Caribbean. Now many of them again are free, but in England. thou sands of miles from their destina- tion, and were supposed to be wise in bird lore have not yet been able to give satisfactory answers to the questions of interested passengers as deavor to reach their summer haunts in the West Indies. or join the robins and linnets of England in their win ter flight to southern France and northern Africa.
 The great flock, several thousand in number settled on the Scythia s decks when the steamer was about 400 miles from the American shore and transformed her into a floating aviary Wild canaries, robins, lin- nets, thrushes. sand pipers and juncos, fluttered around the decks, rerched on the rigging, and even penetrated the lounges and engine room. The passengers and crew cared for them, giving them warmth, food and shelter. but ever so many of the smaller birds died from ex- haustion. Three owls and score of pigeons were easily captured.
 Old sea travellers say they never have known birds to alight before in such large numbers on single ship.

way or another, with the end in view of acquiring for themselves "middle- mens profits'' Thrs is only a part aim of modern cooperative market ing, whose fundamental purpose of eliminating the dumping process has only been understood and evolved within the past few years. Further more, we now recognize the useful ness of the distributive, as distin- euished from the speculative, middle man. Therefort, past efforts have been mostly inefficient, but they have tended in the right direction.
 The dairy farmers of Switzerland have been cooperating for the past goo years All over Europe, during the first half of the last century, there sprung up among farmers va rious forms of cooperative bank s and cooperative stores. The success of the famous cooperative store of the 40 weavers of Rochedale, i'll Eng land, which was Instituted about iS40. rapidly spread it's story all over the world and resulted in in- numerable efforts at cooperative selngs upon the Rochedale plan. which, being a plan of consumer CO., operation and not plan of producer cooperation, has produced as many failures as successes.
 The older farm organizations in this country began. shortly after the Civil war. to set up local operative wheat elevators and cooperative creameries based upon the Roche dale plan, which now dot the middle vest Of the United States by the thousands
 No General Effect
 Sometimes they have been success ful and more frequently they have been complete failures. In the ma jority of cases they have been neither successes nor failures. That is to say, they have managed to operate without either marked profit or loss to their member farmers. In all cases they have had no effect what soever upon general market condi- tions. fer these little isolated locals acting independently. have no way of making any impression whatso ever against the dumping process re- ferred to in my last article. In fact, they take part in 1t.
 Meantime, an event of world im- portance, then unrecognized, was taking place in the little European country of Denmark. When about 1866, Prussia took Schleswig- Hol stein from Denmark, she deprived that little county of the wheat fields that had been the main source of income from export for her peo pie The Danes were thrown back for support almost solely upon their dairy products-products which were also raised in practically every county in Europe. It was up to the Danish farmer, then, to devise a means of marketing his ~airy pro- ducts in foreign lands. He did 1t by compact, large scale cooperative marketing organization, with mer- chandising as it's aim. And the Danish farmer receives today, a larger percentage of the consumers dollar than any other farmer in Eu- hope

LIFE ON VENUS |S
 HIGHLY PROBABLE, SCIENTIST STATES
Question of Human Existence Upon Mars Controversial, Harvard Authority De-
 cIareS in Lecture

BOSTON, Dec. 16.-The existence of life on the planet Venus may be considered highly probable, Dr. Har- low Shapley, director of the Harvard observatory, said In a recent lecture here. He added that the question of life on Mars was controversial, but that it's small mass and it's great dis tance from the sun counted heavily against the probability of life there.
 Venus" he said. Sis comparable to the earth in many ways and if, as is likely living organisms develop wherever conditions are suitable over a sufficient interval of time, then it may be considered that life on Venus Is highly probable. On no other bodies in the solar system, however are conditions at all flaw vorable for the existence of proto- plasm.
 Dr. Shapley said that accepting the tidal evolutionary theory of a planetary system, even for stars otherwise favorably located. an en- counter of just the right sort with another star was necessary for the birth of planetary system.
 And once such a family is born,'' he continued, other stars must not disturb the family, and the stars light intensity must remain essen tially uniform for the enormous in terval of time required for the crus- tai evolution which must precede animate origins.
 Some May Conform
 Nevertheless. it appears probable that among the thousands of mill lions of stars there are here and there planets that conform to the requirements. Although the animal man is probably not duplicated in the universe, there are doubtless numer- ous other living earths, and the chance that their life phenomena

 Not Known In America
 Meantime. his experiment was not known to American farmers until very recently and the American farmer has worked out his problem independently, within the past 20 years, in the great laboratory of California During that time. two or three notable cooperative successes were worked out in fruit and dairy products elsewhere in the United States but they were few and far between.
 The California farmer, twenty or more years ago, was as badly off, if not worss off tha~ the average American farmer today. He had, for the most part. perishaEle specially crops to sell to markets two or three thousand miles away. He had a freight rate that broke his back. He had group of spectators on his neck that came very near to putting him out of business.
  learning the fundamental principles from the Danes only since 1913. these California farmers orGarized, through failure after failure, for eo- operative marketing, until ey had, in the crash year of 1919, giant CO., operative marketing units selling 2S different types of farm produce, from oranges or prunes to eggs or alfalfa, to the turs of $250,000,000 of business a year.
 When the crash came, it urned out that. while the average American farmer was ruined, over so per cent of the farmers Of California made some profit in 191J-192v. With that astounding fact to attract their at tention. the farr CTS of the whole country including those producing the great staples of the land, began to take their leaves out of the book of Denmark and Californ !, and on the very first page of their now vol ume is writ en the C. anlsation his tory of the giant tobacco, cotton, wheat, dairy products and innumer- able speciality crop co-operatives that have sprung into being since.

GERMAN TEACHERS

Cologne, December ).-objecting to a wage of marks an hour, the teachers in Cologne's continuation schools have struck for more pay. Similar action already had been taken by the faculties of vocational insti- tutions at Duisburg and Essen.
 The Cologne staffs include teachers from the public grade schools, en- gineers, and expert hand-workers. Some time ago they were conceded 63 marks an hour, but their union al leges no actual payments were made at this rate.
