BRITISH SHIP
TO CARRY 20
AIRPLANES

r ONDoN. - Two new English
aircraft carriers OF q COM
- pletely novel design shortly
are to be placed in commission
with the British deet.
One Of these ships was spe-
cially designed by the British ad-
mtralty and Ii claimed to be the
biggest ship Of It's kind in the
world, embodying all the latest
landing and launching improve
ments.
The unusual feature Of these
two vessels, hitherto not EN-.
ployed In British aircraft car
riers, Is that the tunnels. mast
and superstructure are not In the
center, but on the Starboard side,
amidships, thus leaving ample
fIynig-o off and alighting space.
The largest OF the two. the
Eagle, is OF $4,000 tons displace-
ment and is fitted with two
hangers, which will accommodate
more than twenty airplanes,
which will be raised to the flying
off deck by electric elevators.
Although at the time she was
laid down the demand was all for
size in this type Of ship, experts
now say that the extreme vulner-
ability Of the flying decks makes
it very questionable whether the
gigantic carriers are not q. mis-
take, and 1t IL expected that any
further new ships OF this type
will be on q smaller scale.

Jam PRICED MORE THAN GOLD
Rapa Natives Work for Sweets but
Ignore Money and Precious
Metal.

Honolulu, T. H.-Rapa, the island
where men are o~utnumbered consid-
erably by woman residents, also is the
island where jam and candy are far
more precious than much fine gold,
according to ]. F. G. Stokes, scientist
attached to the Bishop museum, who
conducted an extensive tour of inves-
tigation of the Austral islands in con
nection with the museums efforts to
establish the origin of the Polynesian
race.
Mr.. Stokes said that offers of money
had no effect upon natives of Rapa
when they were requested to obtain
specimens, relics and other fragments
of a lost civilization, but these were
forthcoming instantly when candy was
offered in exchange. AS a result, the
supply of candy soon was exhausted.
Then Mrs. Stokes came to the res
cue. The natives would furnish no
more specimens unless they were sup
piled with sweets. Mrs. Stokes hit
upon making jam out of the oranges
which grew in abundance on Rapa.
Mr.. Stokes said that the jam was IN
sidered more valuable than the candy.

TAKES FRENCHMAn FOR HERO
German Playwright Pays Extraordi.
nary and Unexpected Tribute to
Spirit of French People.

Partisan extraordinary and quite
unexpected tribute to the spirit of the
French people has been paid by one
of the foremost German writer's and is
apparently accepted by many of the
German people as deserved. This ap-
pears in the drama prisoners of
War;" written by Leon Feuchtwanger,
one of the best known and most popu-
lar dramatic writer's of Germany.
The play was written in 1916, in the
very midst of the war, and it has for
its hero a French soldier, CASTOR Con
ii, a prisoner of war in Germany, who
is made to appear in a most attrac-
tive light. By his spiritual charm, his
unconstrained courage, his brilliant
appearance, by his ardent %eloquence
in the service of these qualities, he
wins the love of a certain Mechthilde.
What is still more notable is that
to this heroic and attractive French
man the author opposes two other
men, who are infinitely less so, and
these are Germans. The one is the
young girls father, a Prusian junker,
stern. hard hearted and narrow mind
ed, to whom prisoners are only ma
chimes that must be made to work
to their full capacity; the other is
Lieutenant Althauss, a brute, who kills
the Frenchman with a well-aimed re
volver shot because the latter smiled.
The play, of course, was forbidden
by the censor. This was at the time
when the boche was hammering at
verdun. The theaters of Leipzig, of
Munich, of the court of Darmstadt.
which had made contracts for the pro-
duction of the play, had to annul
them. But the play was published. 1t
even obtained a considerable reading
success. Its charm IA praised. The
critics praised it. And today, despite
the offensive carried on by the Franco
phobe clan, at the head of which is
Professor Koch of the chair of his
tory and literature at the Breslau
university, the theater lovers want to
see it played.

WHEN TOBACCO WAS "KING"
Narcotic Practically the First Agrlcul-
turaI Pursuit of the Early Unl-
ted States Colonists.

Aside from such crops as were nee
esSary to the maintenance of the In
dividual pioneers life, tobacco fur
nished practically the first agricul-
tural pursuit to those colonists who
came from England and became the
original farmers Of the New world.
Many year passed before there was
any other Of magnitude worthy of
the economists attention. England
was the first country of Europe to
take up smoking, and the practice
grew with such rapidity that there
was, very soon, constant and great
demand for tobacco.
Consequently, 1t was the English set
tiers at and around about jamestown,
Va, that developed tobacco growing
ming Of scientific cultivation. Then,
when it was found that, by care, the
leaf could be improved in quality, the
demand for the better grades in
creased, and there was such a to-
bacco boom that even the streets Of
that little outpost Of civilization were
turned into tobacco fields.
In Maryland tobacco was made legal
tender in 1872, at the rate Of a penny
q pound. 1t was the legal payment for
Ill debts.

1T LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS"

1t has been demonstrated that the
Farmer-Labor party can withstand
assaults from the right and from the
left and maintain itself and not be
stampeded into doing what it doesn't
want to do.
Two policies have marked the party
tactics from the very start. The first
Of these is that the party scrupulous-
ly refrains from trying to dictate to
the unions as to how they should run
themselves. The other is that the
party has always stubbornly refused
to fight with other working class
parties or groups.
