English Shun
Poor Shoes

London, Nov. S.--London stores
will no longer exhibit cheap, shod-
dy and ill-fitting shoes; in their
stead will be found the latest per-
fectly modelled lasts of Paris.
The shoe manufacturers of Eng
land are generally agreed that the
public avoid the shops that sell
i'll -fitting shoddy footwear and
would rather pay more money for
shoes that wear we'll without caus-
ing physical disabilities.
The result of the action of many
manufacturers in putting cheap
shoes on the market to meet the
reduced spending power of the
public, is that there are huge
stocks OF these shoes on hand
which it is impossible to sell.

Cat Tails Yield Flour, Silk,
Starch, and Also Sugar

From the cat-tails found in almost
every swamp, scientists have sue

Roots of the weed produce starch and
sugar, the pollen has been used as a

make an excellent substitute for silk,

The sudden drop OF the Polish mark

European Affairs

Bucharest, Nov. 8.-Charles J..
Vopicka, former United States Min
lister to Roumania, who is regarded
here as an authority on information
al affairs, while on a visit to Buch-
Arrest, was interviewed by the finan-
cial weekly Bursa.
When asked his opinion about the
present economic situation in Rou-
mania and the measures necessary
for improving exchange, Mr.. Vopicka
is reported to have said:
IF you want to better your money
and gain the confidence of financial
circles abroad, some way should be
found to make the peasants pay

FARLl CROPS
GAIN AS ACRES
SHOW DECLINE
Statistics for Decade Reveal
This According to
Experts
ERRORS IN OLD REPORTS


Madison, Wis, Nov. s:z-Arricul-
tural production in the. United States
during the last decade has increas-
ed, although the number Of acres in
agriculture has declined, according to
statistics compiled by the Institute
for Research in Land Economics and
Public Utilities, with headquarters
here.
The study indicates return of
agriculture to normal conditions by
the steady increase in population,
and includes a comparison of the in
crease in population with the inter-
est in land devoted to agriculture.
"The farm area increased only APP
proximately nine percent from 1910
to 1920. and most of this was in the
semi-arid states" the summary de-
clares. "There were fewer acres in
farms in 1920 than in 1910 in many
of the states in the corn belt and in
virtually all the states east Of the
Mississippi river.
"Part Of this decrease is accounted
for by eyrors in former enumeration,
and in the south by failure to include
woodland as part of the farm area.
The growth of cities, development of
factories, industries, mining and the
increase in highways and railroads
account for the remaining decrease"
"More significant is the permanent
reversion of farm land to forest and
brush because it was not fit for ag-
riculture," the summary continues.
Throughout the eastern section,
land has gone back to more econ
omical use. The last census reveals
an increase of SIS percent in area of
improved land but an increase of 36
percent in unimproved land. The
increase in unimproved land is al
most equal in acres to the increase
in all farm land. The significant fact
is that production has maintained
! and even increased by more intensive
utilization Of the better lands and
less intensive use of poorer lands

Thirteen Thousand Laws Are
Enacted in Year

Although there is said to be no ex-
act record of the number of laws on
the statute books of the nation, ex-
perts have calculated that in one year,
$4,000 of 10000 bills presented in the
legislatures of IS states, were passed
at cost of about 5000 each. Congress
handles from 10000 to 10000 bills each
session, and, it is estimated, passed $50
before it's last adjournment. Estima-
tors figure that there are between
$4,000 and 100000 state and federal
laws.
