FOOD FROM THE SKIES

From the Scientific American.
 Washington has received from Bagdad samples of Turkish mama. This mama falls like dew during the autumn months, lodging on the leaves of oak trees and hardening into the form of grain. It Is sup posedly the same substance used by the children of Israel in the wilder ness. and is a recognized article of commerce in Syria; sheets are spread under the trees in the early morning and the trees are shaken. Only the oak tree retains the substance until it hardens; such of 1t as falls else where is lost. It Is good substitute for sugar and honey, and sells for +5 cents a hound.

INDUsTRY's MIGRATION

From The Nation Business.
 Two centuries ago Bishop Berkeley served notice on the world that west ward the course of the empire takes its way" A century later John Quincy Adams changed "course" to ''star' and said 1t all over again.
 Neither of them paid much atten- tion to the westward motion of the star of manufacture, but the United States census gives us an interesting indication of the change. Fifty years ago the Atlantic seaboard states from Maine to Florida furnished 6S per cent of the manufactures of the coun- try In 1920 they furnished slightly less than half. The great gain has been made in the middle west, in Illi- nois Michigan. Indiana and Ohio. !
 What takes industry to these lake states? Coal and iron largely. Water power isn't the answer. Illinois, In- diana, Ohio and Michigan together have only as much as Alabama or North Carolina, less than West Vir- ginia and half as much as New York. If water power solved the problem of the location of our industries, the Pa cific coast would be swarming with factories. Washington, Oregon and California have hydraulic resources of more than 100000 horsepower. while the New England states. New York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio. In- diana, Michigan, Illinois and Wiscon- sin used only 2s.o00.oo in 1918.
 Industry and population do not seem to move exactly hand In hand. The center of population has been hanging around in Indiana more than 80 years before the manufacturing center had shifted. The center of power use in the United States Is about at Marion, Ohio. or at least 1t was when q distinguished citizen of that city came east to spend four years. It may have shifted a little since then.

noxious fumes" were caused partly by the burning of Insulation and partly by the use of Pyrene extin- guishers. ae
 A formal investigation will be started tomorrow to fix blame for the accident.
 An executive of the Pyrene com pany at Newark, N. J., who declined to give his name, denied Pyrene gave off deadly" fumes. though he ad- mitted the extinguisher produced gas which, in a closed place, might cause "fainting and temporary ex- haustion."
 President Frank Hedley of the In- terhorough. later issued a statement in which he denied the use of the Pyrene extinguishing fluid had been the cause of the smoke and gases which filled the train. The ex- tinguisher, he said. nad been adopted only after 1t had been approved by the fire underwriters and the gov ernment as one of the most effective in putting out fires similar to that of today.

 You seldom stop to think of the Inheritance of the present administra- tion," declared the executive. adding that he meant to take no fling at what went before.

 If law cannot be maintained" the President continued. then tho re- public Itself Is menaced."

NJ PROGRESS MADE IN SETTLEMENT OF MINE STRIKE
wo "Pinches" in National Fuel Supply Have DeveI- oped - Farley Awaits
 Return of Harding
By Assooiated Press

Washington, July GA prolonged session between anthracite coal mine operators and union representatives, called to Washington by President Harding to consider methods of get ting work resumed, broke up tonight without definite results being ac- complished, but with an agreement to meet again at 2 p. m. tomorrow. No statements were made by either operators or union officials.
 Only the notification that sessions would be continued tomorrow was given to indicate the trend of opin- ion among anthracite negotiators. Secretary Fall participated in the meeting, but left before it's con clusion.
 At all prior gatherings, employers have stood firmly for a reduction in wage scales, rendering arbitration through President Harding to de- termine the amount while the union representatives, offering to negoti- ate on the basis of wage scales ex- isting March. 31, have refused to consent to reductions and have made demands for notifications of prior contracts.
 Two "Pfnches" Develop
 While all the considerations af- fecting the bituminous strike situa- ton have been deferred until Mon day. after President Harding's re- turn, government views of the mat ter were made available In part through semi official discussion. In the matter of the publics coal sup aDf daVa10nHd it was said, one in the northwest and the other in New England.
 Both these areas are considered to be developing a more or less inn mediate need for shipments. It was also intimated that the government had suggested to bituminous miners and operators in the conferences no'J adjourned, a scheme of avoiding the impasse raised by the employers in- sistence on district wage scale ne- gotiations, and the miners demand for a national wage scale. The plan involves the setting up of eight re- gions, each consisting of several of the existing coal district organiza- tions of operators and union miners with separate negotiations in each.
 Little Support Evidenced
 Little support has been evidenced in the industry, it was declared, for the proposition as made.
 The miners spokesmen, 1t was also indicated, were inclined to be re- sentful in the meeting concerning the present semi -governmenta plan con trolled by Secretary Hoover holding maximum prices for the nonunion bituminous coal, now being mired at $3.50 in most districts.
 A comprehensive report on the urogress to date in attempts 10 get the unionized portion of the mining industry to. work by the conference method will be put before the Presi- dent, on his return from Ohio. No light was shed today in the direction which further administration poll cies in the matter might be directed.
