ENGLAND CONSIDERS
BIG POWER PROJECT

LONDON, Dec. 1s.-CR)-A signed
article by Lord Rothermere printed in
the Daily Mail, in which Great Brit
ain is urged to adopt the central cleo
trio power idea and to invite Samuel
insult of Chicago to assist in the
project is serving to focus public at
tention on a matter which the govern
ment has been accused of unduly neg
Letting in contrast with the Irish
Free State government, which already
has started work on a big power de-
velopment scheme on the River Shan
non.
David Lloyd George, long time ago
published pamphlet entitled Goal
and Power" in which he advocated
a similar plan to that of Lord Rother-
mere and by which Mr.. Lloyd George
is said to have hoped to retrieve the
fallen fortunes of the Liberal party.
This not having proved very success
full, the former premier has now re-
sorted to big land campaign.
The power question has been the
subject of an invitation by a govern
ment investigation and the ministry
is credited with the intention of in
Producing bill on the subject next
year. Nothing is known Of its nature.

For weak, frail. under-developed
children-and especially those that

medicine experimenting helps like
it.
But it is nasty and repulsive and
evil smelling and nearly always up
sets children's stomachs-so now up
to-date chemists advise McCoy's Cod
Liver Oil Compound Tablets.
Children love them as they do
candy. because they are sugar coat
ed and easy TO take. One boy gained
liz pounds in seven weeks, and is
now healthy and happy-thousands
of other children have grown strong
and robust.
Sixty tablets for 60 cents at Som

McCoy's-the original and genuine.
Give them TO the sickly, frail child

you paid for them.

WALL PAPER FROM CHINA.
introduced Into Europe as Early as
1850 by Orient.
From the Baltimore Sun.


Wall paper was introduced into Eu-
rope from China and Japan as early
as 1850 by Spanish and Holland trad
ers, and began taking the place of
tapestries and leather wall coverings.
The heyday of wall paper began
around 1850, when enterprising mer-
chant missions began to import wall
paper from China and Japan.
BY 1920 England's fine homes had
parlors decorated with China paper,
whereon were figures of men, women,
birds and flowers. These Chinese pa
pers were backed with canvas and
mounted on wooden frames and not
pasted on the wall.
Jean Papillon, a French engraver,
in 1858 is believed to have been the
inventor of the wooden block for print
ing wall paper. 1t was slow process.
Two thousand blocks were required
for printing scenes of Cupid and
Psyche, designed by the famous artist,
David. for Napoleon. But with cheaper
paper, by the continuous process, the
roller, steam power, and in 1929 the
invention of the process of printing
colors on paper, wall paper entered
the homes of the multitude of Europe
Wall paper was not used on the
frontiers of the United States until a
bare half century ago, and it was only
80 or 40 years ago that II began to be
used in quantity.

EVERYMAN'S
~ INVESTMENTS.
BY GEORGE T.. HUGHES.
Real Estate Bonds.

One of the most popular forms of
investment is the real estate mort
gage bond. For years first mort
cages on real estate have, held a. de-
servedly high rating among invest
ment securities. The difficulty, how
ever. was that generally they were
not available to the small investor
He either had to take an entire mort
gage .or put his funds into something
else. Then too, the details of exami-
nation of title and of appraisal were
such that only at considerable expense
could safety of the loan be assured.
But with the growth of the large
real estate mortgage bond houses
which loan money on first mortgages
and split up the security into pieces
convenient for investors large and
small. these difficulties have been re-
moved. In this form real estate mort
gage bonds are now sold in enormous
volume. The record for this kind of
investment is exceptionally good.
There is just this much to be said
nevertheless, in the way of caution.
Competition in this field, is increasing
and ii follows that care must be
exercised in selecting the house from
which to purchase real estate mort
gage bonds. The individual investor
ordinarily cannot investigate for him
self the merits of the particular issue
of these bonds, although theoretically
that ought to be done. He has TO de
pend in great measure upon the
representation and the reputation of
the seller.
1t is fair to assume that a long
record of successful loans and of
honorable dealings with clients en-
titles real estate mortgage bond firm
TO the confidence of the buyer of these
securities. The best test is the record
of the past. r,,

CUCKOO'S QUEER CONDUCT
is DUE TO BIG APPETITE
Behavior of Bird Only Practical
Method to Provide for Ex-
istence of It's Species. -.
From the Kansas City Star.

The habit of the European cuckoo
of laying its eggs in other birds nests
and thus foisting the care of it's young
upon unwilling foster. parents is not
as unnatural as it has been given the
discredit for being, according to DR..
Dobay, a Hungarian zoologist.
Dr. Dobay points out three facts
that may help to explain the cuckoo's S
peculiar conduct.
First. the cuckoo is a great eater.
He devours hundreds of insects and
worms in a day. This forces him to
be a great hunter, constantly on the
move. He would probably be kept
on short rations if he and his mate
mention the difficulty OF getting
enough additional food for hungry
family
Second, Mrs. Cuckoo is strongly
against race suicide She lays from
twenty to twenty-five eggs in a season,
as against a modest six or eight or
ten, produced by other birds. No birds
going, no matter how INDUSTRIOUS
could feed a family like that. Better
make orphans of them, and trust to
Providence and the bounty of
strangers.
Finally, no bird ever sits until she
has laid her whole clutch" of eggs.
If the cuckoo waited until.a her eggs
were laid. the first ones would be
spoiled before the last were produced
and she was ready to incubate them
1t appears, therefore, DIR. Dobay
concludes. that the apparently heart
less behavior of the cuckoo is the
only practical method open to pro-
vide for the continued existence of
the cucko species.
