Apple Boom in England

Apples from the colonies have
created such furore in England
through the exhibits at the great
Wembley. exposition and the sending
into England Of thousa nds of tons OF
fruit from New Zealand and Australia
that all England Is munching its daily
apple. BY September l it was re-.
ported in English periodicals thar
1,100 tons of apples had been sold
from the exhibition fruit stands.
In fact SO popular have become the
colonial apples that home growers
have begun to lift up their voices IN
protest that English home grown ap-
Piles are just as good.
King George put the apple on Its
feet, so to speak, when in going
through the exhibits at Wembley. he
picked I'D a tempting looking rosy
checked apple and moved along
munching it with evident relish. That
was enough for the Britishers and
the stands couldn't sell apples fast
enough All Londoners were busy
munching apples out of hand as they
moved about the grounds.
This sudden demand caused fresh
importations from the colonies TO
maintain the supply. According to
latest reports published in gardening
periodicals no such consumption of
apples was ever known in England.
and no such business IN fruit was
ever before the good fortune OF the
colonies.
American never have hesitated to
MUNICH an apple in public when the
opportunity presented itself and street
sales in our large cities If computed
would reach proportions comparable
with the sales at Wembley.

FAIRFIELD FIRE
Continued from Page One)

lights We're noticed in the school
house at a late hour and that the
blaze was incendiary, but Mr.. Joy was
not inclined to credit any of them.
The Fairfield fire department an
swered the alarm promptly but when
it arrived the fire was beyond con-
troll. The school records were saved
by Paul SWEET. teacher of manual
training, who removed them from the
office of the principal. From there
he tried to go to the superintendent S
office but he was cut off by this ad-
vancing flames and escaped through
a window.
A steady south breeze carried burn
ing embers a considerable distance
and the attention of The firemen was
| turned to saving nearby property.
Several dwelling houses were threat
ened by the fire but embers We're
doused with water as rapidly as they
fell. A call was sent to the Water
willie department and it responded
with a quantity of nose. The fire
was not under control until late in
the morning and this evening the
ruins were still smoking.
Everything but the records Of the
school were lost in the fire. The
hardest blow struck the school, next
to the loss of the building, is the loss
Of the many class gifts that have ac-
cumulated since Fairfield schools
were established. Among these were
several valuable pictures and statues,
each bearing the name of the class
which donated it.
Two hundred boys and girls were
students at the building and the fac
ulty numbered nine, including the
principal, c. Il. Steward, Jr. What
provision will be made to continue
| the school work will be decided at
an assembly of the teachers at the
North Grammar school building at
1880 this evening. Already a number
of the churches and fraternal orga-
nizations of the town have placed
their buildings at the disposal of the
school authorities and some of them
will probably be utilized.
The institution of platoon sys-
tenn, whereby the other school build
ings would be used from o'clock to
o'clock daily has been mentioned
also. The students of the school are
to meet at the Baptist church this
afternoon at 1870 o'clock and it is
hoped that class work may be re-
sumed in another two or three days.
Plans for rebuilding the school
house will not be discussed until the
annual town meeting which takes
place two weeks from TODAY.

Some Interesting Facts About Latin
America

Central America lies quite outside
the radius of popular knowledge,
and yet it Is a most important slice
of the continent. 1t is close to the
United States geographically, but. in
SO far as a general knowledge OF its
people and their countries is con-
cerned, it is quite as remote as
Thibet. writes Mr.. Thomas +. Lee in
The Mentor Magazine.
Here are some simple facts con-
cerning Latin America unknown to
most people:
Puerto Barrios. Guatemala, the
principal port of Central America is
much closer to New York by water
than is Galveston.
The sun rises on the Pacific end of
the Panama Canal and sets on its
Atlantic entrance.
Most people think that Rio Janeiro,
on. the east coast of South America,
lies directly south of New York,
whereas line drawn south from the
Statue Of Liberty would run down
through the Pacific Ocean, little
west of Valparaiso, Chile.
Valparaiso, Chile. several hundred
miles farther south than Rio, is
closer to New York than Rio.
Brazil is considerably larger than
the United States.
Chile's Pacific coast line is as long
as that of the United States and
Mexico combined.
The Pacific Ocean is south of
Central America not west.
The combined areas of the Central
American countries is equal to
those of New York. Ohio, Ala
lama, West Virginia, and New Jer-
sey. The undevelopment of Central
America is shown by the fact that it
cnly has about 1000 miles Of rail-
way. while the five States with an
equal area have more than $4,000
miles of railway. Moreover, Central
America cannot show 1000 miles of
good roads, whereas New York State
alone has more than $4,000 miles.

Back to the Fig Leaf Is Edtoria
Forecast

Women's styles eventually will get
to where they started, to the fig
leaf. in the opinion of Clinton G.
Harris. editor of Nugent's Weekly, a
magazine published for the garment
trade.
Mr. Harris has been making what
he calls a scientific study of styles
and is preparing chart which
shows there is a rise and fall in the
quantity Of clothing worn by women
Just as there is rise and fall in the
sale of popcorn, the price of biscuits
and the birth rate.
This chart begins with Adam and
Eve when clothing was confined to
the fig leaf. Then came the cave
man era and the skins of wild
animals were added to milady's
wardrobe. Passed the little aeons
and the ladies shed their furs and
began wearing dresses.
The peak" arrived in the, Eliza =

Harris chart, when it was i'm
possible to detect a womans foot
and when she revclled in long. wide

Spoons for Fishing in Poor Under
water LIGHT

To catch and reflect the fatner
doubtful underwater light, which is
mild and diffused instead OF shafp
and often piercing. as 1t Is IN the III :
shore waters, Il spoon must present
A finish best suited to absorbing 1t
and sending it forth by rehecuon.
This demands of course flnisn
with high rejecting capacities and
on this score it would be hard to i'm
prove upon the nickel. a n1ckeled
spoon, highly polished, is without
equal as an attracter in this respect.
The brass and copper spoons are
useless for ueep trolling. But 1t Is
only when the nickel is kept highly
polished that it proves its value.
After being used in the water 1t is
always best to dry the spoon with a
cloth and give it film of Oil 1t
should then be placed in its COM
rartment in the tackle box and kept
dry till used again. When ready to
use it give it a rubbing down. But
always see to it that the spoon is
dry and put in the tackle box after
your fishing. \ spoon is too often
put away wet. is allowed to stand
out in the weather and in a number
of ways permitted to tarnish and
grow dull. The more glitter there is

deep water holes. l mention these
few things about spoons and their
care here for | doubt whether any
writer has even so much as ap-
preached the subject. There is no
reason why the spoon like other
bats should not be treated with due
consideration.
One thing that the fisherman
should bear in mind when he is US
ing a spoon is that it is the glitter
of it that wins the fish: if the glitter
is absent then over half it's value as
a lure is lost. Most spoons are made
in plain style without any crimp-
ings on the blade at all. There is
something however to be said for
the so-called fiuted or crimped
spoons and that simply amounts to
q declaration of preference. The OBJ
ject of the flutings seems to be to in
crease the number of rays thrown
out from it, the crimps or ridges ap-
parently doing this in manner that
is satisfactory, at least so much bet
ter than that of an ordinary un-
crimped spoon as to put it in a class
of it's own. And, for deep down
fishing or trolling. it will always re-

New T. B. Cure
Warning Given

New York. Feb. 15.-(A. P)-San-
ocrysin. an alleged cure for tuberculo-
sis. used by Holger Mollgaard, pro-
fessor Of physiology at the Royal
Veterinary and Agricultural College
| at Copenhagen, Denmark, is described
by the National tuberculosis Associa-
tion in statement issued today, as
a drug, the claims for which as a cure
| have not been prvoen. tuberculosis
patients and others are advised by the
! association not to place false hopes In
the many highly exaggerated state
| ments regarding sanocrysin that have
been made by various people"
DR.. Linsly r. Williams. managing
director, speaking for the association.
stated that for the first time it is
now possible to review the claims of
sanocrysin, since Professor Moll-
! arrived in the United States. DR..
Williams bases his statements on a
study of this book.
''The drug Is an old one" says DR..
Williams, "a combination Of gold and
sulphur salts. teshnically known as
gold sodium m-thio-sulphate. Profess
sor Mollgaard used 1t on animals that
had tuberculosis and found that it was
an extremely dangerous drug. which
produced fatal results in many cases.
In ordinary doses. however it is not
dangerous to those who have no tu-
| berculoss.
Because of the nature Of sanocry-
sin and its method of use, the regula-
tions Of the United States Public
| Health Service require that license
be issued before the drug can be used
in Interstate commerce. A study of
the claims of Professor Mollgaard
with reference to sanocrysin is now
being made by the Hygienic Labora-
tory Of the United States Public
Health Service under the direction of
| Assistant Sugeon General DR.. G. w.
Mccoy.
"At the request of the medical re-
search committee of the National Tu-
berculosis Association, similar expert
ments are now being conducted by
, three other scientists on calves. If
after the animal experiments are COM
p1eted, sufficient evidence is secured
to warrant the use of sanocrysin upon
human beings suffering from tubercu-
losis. study Of the possibility of
such treatment will then be made un-
der the supervision of one of the Dan
! ish physicians who has had expert
ence in the use of the drug.
| "In view Of the serious danger in
volved in the use of sanocrysin and
in view of the extended study now
| being made. patients affected with
tuberculosis are cautioned not to be
unduly optimistic in regard to this
drug. No patient should discontinue
! the well known methods for the cure
| of tuberculosis by proper regulation

Trainino The Puppv


A disobedient dog is such a nuisance
that too much trouble can hardly be
expended on the puppy's education,
and unless it is taught young. the
chances are that it will never be
trained properly at all.
Some lessons, such as to be clean
indoors, can begin very early, but for
serious training six months Is about
the right age. Before that it Is ask
ing rather too much to expect the
youngster to understand what is hap
pening.
There are one or two golden rules
which the owner Of every pup should
keep in mind and adhere to rigidly.
The first of these is never to give an
order which can not be enforced; and
the second, once having given an
order, see that it is carried out.
Every time the dog owner neglects
one of these cardinal points he is lay
ing up trouble for himself. Dogs,
like human beings, prefer to have
their own way, and each time they
are allowed to disobey an order 1t Is
a direct encouragement to ignore the
next command.
One of the first things puppy
should be taught is TO lie still until
told to move, no matter whether Its
master is in sight or not. It needs
patience on the part of the trainer,
but it is a lesson very well worth
while persevering with Coming in to
heel at whistle, and staying there,
is an essential point to be learned in
these days of motor cars.
Sporting dogs should be encouraged
to use their noses early in life by
finding bones thrown among bushes
or long grass. Some dogs retrieve
naturally; others can be taught to
do so, and it is a very useful accom-
plishment.
Different breeds vary a good deal In
Intelligence. but it Is we'll to remem-
ber that, other things teins equal. the
more a dog is in human company the
more knowledgeable It is likely to
become.
The person who wants zone man"
dog which will ignore other people,
should be careful in his selection, and
Alsatians. bulldogs and Airedales are
usually good in this respect. Also
the dog, at any rate. while pup,
should never be fed by or allowed to
go out with any other than its mas
ter.-Kenneth Dawson. in Washington
Post
