NUT WITH UNBREAKABLE
 SHELL FINALLY SOFTENED
Nut Known as Australian, Queensland And Polar Nut Loses The Hard
 Qualities of its Covering

Sydney. N. S. w, Dec. 2S.-FoT Australia, known variously as the Australian, Queensland and Polar nut has baffled horticuturists. It had a rare and delicate flavor, was a dish for an epicure, butt ts shell was about the hardest known to mankind. The and shiny. one might jump on it and hammer it with ones heel without leaving the faintest impression, save on the heel. One might put it in the creyice of a door hinge. and it would ne the fulcrum to break down th- door. Something in the nature Of a blacksmith's hammer and anvil was required to smash the shell.
 After years of disappointed expert ments in variousp arts of the worl. official word comes now that J. & Waldron, who lives on the north coast of New South Wales, has pro duced a thin -shelled bush nut. Scv- eral plant generations have demon -strated the success of the new nut, according to the Queensland govern ment botanist and the director of fruit culture, who inspected the Wal dron farm.
 The made-over bush nut is said to retain the flavor. and the indestruc- tible shell has been replaced by one that may be opened with reasonable facility.

ALWAYS ENOUGH FOOD
 FOR ALL HUMAN NEEDS
President C. C. PIehn of University of California Says There Never Will
 Be World Starvation.

Berkeley. Cal, Dec. 2S.-Will the population of the world ever increase to such numbers that the food supply will run out? No" predicts Profes. sor C. c. Pfehn of the department of economics in the University of Cali fornia.
 But the professor qualities his nega- tive by saying that if the population of the world ever increases as fully as it has the power to, there certainly will be d shortage of food. He eX- plains that, a matter of statistics, this probably never can happen, since events and conditions always inter- vene to prevent over-population.
 Yet. he comedies, in certain coun- tries this economic oyer-population has occurred. He cites the annual famines in China and India, which he contends, are due to the fact that the birth rate never has been kept down in those countries and conse- quently the food supply proves inad- equate.
 Dread diseases always follow famine in the train of excessive pop ulation and shortage of food" the
 
 professor points out, and he states further that as population increases the land is proportionately over worked.
 Tn America, especially, population has always been held in check. Peo- pie are made to realize the import ance of keeping a balance between the population and the food supply. Farmers manage to produce enough food to satisfy everybody, even though agricultural methods inn prove more slowly than the popula- tion increases. The amount of effort expended in labor and machinery for getting food is increasing steadily, so that, although population tends to in- crease more rapidly than food, there never will be danger of food giving olit "

BETTER CONDITION
 IN SAAR VALLEY
Economic and Social Situations
 Still Cause Anxiety

1 Geneva, Dec. Unsatisfactory from
 some points of views. the economic and social situation of the Saar Val ] ley territory causes anxiety from Oth-
 CTS, according to report received by the League of Nations from the gov erning commission of the district The
 Saar Valley. which extends along the | Franco-German frontier, was handed
 over to the league for control during a period of years after which the in habitants by d plebiscite win decide their future political status.
 The commission reports that the territory is gradually recovering rom the effects of the miners strike and that there is a large increase in the gross yield from the mines. However, the territory as a whole has not re- gained it's prosperity, the situation be- ing aggravated by continual difficult ties in transport to the east, by the scarcity of certain raw materials and by the rise in the cost Of living which began in August. Since June the French franc has been the only legal currency in the district, replacing the German mark. The effort of the gov erning commission to prevent exploi- tation of the currency reform at first succeeded but in August and Sep tember a somewhat alarming increase in the cost of living set in, the main causes being the rarity of credits. diff faculties in obtaining supplies, the enormous rise of prices in Germany. and the overwhelming use Of the gold unit for the establishment of prices. However, prices are now lower than in Germany. The commission has adopted measures to deal with the agitation tendency in labor circles.
 Compilation Of results Of a census taken last year shows that tn" total Saar population is 713,105. The sur face of the territory is 1SS.069 square kilometers.
 The commissioners express belief that they will be able to cope with the problem of the cost of living and eventually succeed in balancing the budget.

PROJECT ID HELP
 GRECIAN REFUGEES
League of Nations Undertakes Big.
 gest Problem Of History

Saloniki, Dec. 2S.-The arrival in saloniki of Henry Morgenthau, for mer United States ambassador to Tur- key. as chairman of the Refugee Set tlement Commission of the League of Nations, has officially opened the greatest project of reestablishing a homeless refugee population that probably ever has been undertaken. With John Campbell of Great Britain the second member of the commis- sion, Mir. Morgenthau made brief survey of refugee conditions in Salon. iki and adjacent territories after which the two commissioners pro- ceeded to Athens to confer with the government and start drafting plans for the agricultural settlements which the league has authorized in its loan of S25, 1000, ,000 to Greece.
 At the present time hundreds of thousands of refugees are crowded into Saloniki, Macedonia and western Thrace, dependent upon government doles and what feeding can be given by British and American relief organ izations. The immediate purpose of the commission is to establish the az riculturalists among them upon the untitled lands Of Macedonia and west crn Thrace. This involves a scientic estimate of the nature of soils, the division of the refugees into groups such as wheat, tobacco and vine cul- tivators for assignment to various dis tricts and the providing of houses, barns, live stock, implements and seeds which will enable them to get into production.
 The commission will follow the Russian system of building villages adjoining agricultural lands, Each settlement will consist of about 2,000 acres. Houses will be constructed, and tools and seeds supplied. Land. buildings and equipment will ulti- mately hc offered for sale to the ten ants on the instalment plan Of pay ment Mr. Morgenthau believes such plans will be repaid in from 12 10 5 years.
 It is hoped that agricultural banks may. in the future, relieve the com mission by handling a portion of the land contracts. Later efforts will be made to interest foreign capital in the drainage of the Strouma and Nardar valleys, which would result in the re- clamation of large areas Of exereme- ly fertile land. No distinction has been made between Greek and other Anattolian refugees. in drafting the plans of these refugees settlements.

ance contest to be staged on the Ar
gonne lanes Hobart street, starting

visions have been made to handle an

TO
RECEIVE TEST
Bout With Dave Rosenberg
important Test for Young
Striking

Records show that a majority of
the best men this country ever
Boosted of, were born in the North
and tomorrow afternoon at the New
ark armory, this assertion will be
strengthened or weakened inasmuch
as a new boxer from the South,
touted as a wonder, is to make his
debut in this section OF the United
States.
The boxer referred to is Young
Stribling, the ligh heavyweight san
sation of Georgia. Stribling sprang
into the limelight over night as a
result of his fight with Mike Nc
Tigue formerly of Ireland recognized
light heavyweight champion of the
world. This contest was featured
by the making OF three decisions,
reports from Georgia say. The
Southerners claim that Harry Ertle,
Jersey referee, called the bout a
draw, then a victory for McTigue,
and last a draw. 1t is alleged that
the lives of McTigue and Ertle were
threatened during their stay in the
Southland.
In the bout tomorrow afternoon
Stribling Is to fight Dave Rosenberg,
former m~iddleweight champion of
New York. Rosenberg has laid out
a comeback program and a victory
over the Southern wonder will prac-
tically return him to his old position
of prominence.
Another feature contest on the
card is a return go between Spark
plug" Russell, of Newark, and Willy
Woods of Scotland. There will be
the usual preliminary events.

Announced

All ballots must be in for the
annual election of officers of the
Raritan Copper Works Athletic AS
ISOLATION on Wednesday, President
August Pierce, of the association has
announced. The ballots YER issued
to all members some time 60.
When the ballots were given out,
it was shown that several of the
officers whose term ends today, were
not DESTROYS of serving another term.
The president is one of those so
Inclined, and unless a personal choice
is made, a man who has been in
terested in the association for many
seasons, will be the next head of the
organization.
Mr.. Pierce worked wonders dur
ing his term of office and it is with
great regret that the members of the
association receive his decision. His
work during the year has aided ma
tcrially in the preparation of the
athletic program for this city, and il
Is hoped that his successor will be as
capable a leader.
During the early part of each
year the attendance of the sporting
fans of this section is attracted TO
the Raritan Copper Works Athletic
Association, inasmuch as this or
ganization has charge of leasing the
baseball field on which the semi-pro
combination OF this city performs
each summer.
Following the election of officers.
preparations will be made for the
leasing of the field for next season.

SHOW
ON TOMORROW
Forty Rounds of Boxing to be
Presented in BetSytoWn
Tomorrow P. NJ.

Staten Islands knockout king,
Charley Ryder, will receive a good
workout for his feature bout here on
Thursday night, in his battle with
Jackie Saunders, formerly of Eliza
beth, at the Elizabeth armory to-
morrow afternoon. This show is be-
ing presented by the Elizabeth post,
American Legion.
Saunders has fought some of the
leading men in the featherweight
division, from coast to coast, and is
returning to his home town to fight
the hard seeking Staten Islander.
Ryder is a popular figure in Betsy
town fistic circles and he should
have as many fans at the ringside
as his opponent.
In the semi-final contest Vic
Woody, of Elizabeth, will go on with
Joe Kline, OF Newark. Although
Woody has fought feature bouts in
various cities in this state, he is
practically IAN unknown" to the
fans OF his home town. In Kline he
engages a capable opponent, and
there is every reason to believe that
this bout should be q hummer.
The third feature is somewhat of
a "grudge affair." as Gene Johnson
and "Kayo" Joe Manning are both
residents of Elizabeth. There will
be the regular preliminary contests.
Forty rounds will be presented in
all.
