THE NEAR EAST

The situation in Russia, Turkey

cisely by Barclay Acheson, Over
seas General Director, Near East
through the local Office of the
organization at IA w. Franklin

shevism is but a passing phase, says
Mr.. Achesen. the important point is
that Ru0sia is thinking about social
political and educational matters az
never before and eventually promises
to be the greatest nation in the
Near Fest; in Syria, fires of unrest
are smoldering; a strong Turkey
would stabilize the Near East but he
would nos advise investment now if
Turkey that Greece has worked
heroioal'y to care for it's surplus
population of 1,25O,O00 refugees.
Then Mr.. Acheson tells of the
caring for 10000 orphans and many
thousands of refugee children; and
of the orphans being trained along
agricultural vocational and profess
sional lines, fitted, when discharged
to become leaders in their com.
munities and to do much to solve
the unrest and the warfare in the
Near East.

HARD AND SOFT WHEAT AND

In addition to the fact that the use
If variety of bread fiours makes

'oyable the question of hard-wheat

attention.
Since the United States is now

can help in stabilizing demand and
price by greater use of soft-wheat
flour for those purposes for which
it is best adapted. Particularly in
localities producing soft wheats

Children tire of plain bread sand

eat more bread if different kinds
are served. Bread baked in a new
form, as for example, a twist or
French loaf, or light rolls, or bread
of different flour, such as rye or
whole wheat, or small breads, such
as graham mullins, corn pene, or
biscuits, or some of the sweet breads
like raisin or date bread, or buns, or
coffee ring, may be introduced into
the menu to advantage from time to
time. Sometimes cutting, or putting
two kinds of bread together, as in

for them. Some OF these breads
which offer change may be made
at home, and some may be more
conveniently bought. The m Ia n

BLOSSOM FESTIVAL FOR
DEL-MAR-VA SHORE
PROPOSED

Why not an Apple and Peach
Blossom Festival throughout the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore ?
DR.. ]. F. Adams, Plant Pathol-
ogist, of the Delaware State Board
of Agriculture, is father of this
thought, and in line with his sug-
gestion he offers facts which mark
his question as being we'll taken.
The blossom season on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula is close at hand.
BY April Is, the pre-pink of the
peach blossom will be in decided
evidence and from that date on,
until the first of May, the develop
ment of the blossom will be rapid.
Between April 20 and May 1, the
splendid colorful offering will be at
it's height, and almost with un-
broken continuance will arrive the
apple blossoms, reaching their pic
turesque lovliness early in May
Dr. Adams points out that the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore has sound
reason to call attention to it's
blossom season, equally as well as
The State of Georgia, which cele-
brates this occasion with pomp and
ceremony within the Commonwealth
confines each season.
I'VE have truly wonderful orchard
blossom displays throughout the
peninsula" he said, discussing the
subject I'VE are most fortunately
situated to present these splendid
colorful attractions to the travelling
public as many of the larger
orchards are in view of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad main line, the Della
ware Division, as it traverses the
length of our territory. In addition
to this our other large orchards are
where they may be reached by
motor travel over the most complete
and finest system of improved state
highways to be found in any section
of the country. While late in the
season to undertake plan of cele-
bration, this is something which
the people of this Eastern Shore
should promote"
DR.. Adams gave facts to show that
Delaware alone has an apple orchard
area of twenty-five miles in length
and twenty miles in width, with q
national record of 54S apple trees
per square mile which is more than
any other State in the union. The
next in rank is New York with but
PSI. The peach orchard area in
Delaware is approximately the same
rs the apple.
All the Maryland and the two
Virginia counties have peach and
apple orchards in varying sizes and
they offer the same, splendid views
in blossom season.
1t is possible that DR.. Adams
views will meet with consideration
on the part of the various civic
organization throughout. the Eastern
Shore, for where the subject has
been mentioned hearty approval has
been expressed

NATIONS MAY ADOPT THIR-
TEEN-MONTH CALENDAR

Fresh stimulus has recently been
given to the reform of the calendar
by the action of the committee of in
quiry of the League of Nations in
calling representatives of the Roman,
Greek, and other orthodox churches
Of the East, the Anglican Church OF
Great Britain, and about 100 Pro-
testant churches to discuss the ad-
visibility of making Easter a fixed
instead of movable date, de-
pendent on the full moon. The
first or second Sunday in April has
been suggested.
Further sessions of the committee
of inquiry are to be held soon to
make definite recommendation to
the League of Nations regarding
plans for calendar reform. En-
shusiastic support has been given in
many quarters to the plan that would
iivide the year into thirteen 28-day
Months, with an extra year day at
he end of the last week in
December. Every four years a leap
lay would be inserted at the end of

as that will be Sunday.
Prof. c. F. Marvin, Chief OF the
Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
ndorses the 13-month year because
it would. greatly simplify meteoro-
logical and other scientific records.
He points out also that there are in
Vulnerable advantages to economic.
agricultural, civic, educational, and
business interests in having all
months and quarters exactly alike.
and the numbered days of each
month always falling on the same
day of the week. Many difficulties
now existing in compiling accurate
comparative statistics, in accounting,
banking, or computing interest
would be done away with.
An interesting fact in connection
with the proposed calendar is thai it
harmonizes in many respects with
the plan of the old calendar used by
the Israelites.

FARMING THE GREAT BASIC
INDUSTRY

The National Industrial Confer
ence Board finds that the farming
industry buys $6,000,000,OOO worth
of goods and services OF other
industries annually. Supplies ma
terials for industries employing
nearly half of industrial workers.
Supplies about one-ffth total rail
road freight and half total value OF
all exports. Farmers pay in taxes
one-fifth total cost of government In
the United States. Farms represent
one-fifth national wealth, and con-
tribute one-sixth total national
income.
In 1921, their value amounted to
S65,OOO,OO0,OOO, against $4,000
O0O,0 invested in manufacturing
industries.
The great dependence OF indus
tries on the basic materials fur
nished by agriculture, demands the
maintenance of an adequate and
we'll balanced agricultural produc-
ton, lest the nation become depen-
dent on foreign countries for such
materials necessary to industries
and economic life. Farmers are

1t is the home newspaper which

the old-time dependent spirit of the

There is more unselfish idealism ir

SELECTING CENTRAL
OFFICE NAME is
NO LIGHT TASK
Designations For New Telephone Ex-
changes Chosen Only After
Painstakinu Study

PainstakIng Study
Naming a baby is an easy job COM
pared with naming a telephone ex-
change.
Some people have the idea that
when telephone officials get ready to
christen new telephone exchange, all
they do is to sit down and think for a
while when-presto-a suitable name
comes to mind and it is chosen. This,
however, is far from the real facts
Naming telephone exchange requires
along time and involves labor on the
part of a large number of persons.
In other words, names for telephone
exchanges are not simply plucked out
of the air. They are selected only
after much care and investigation.
Whenever possible, names to fit the
locality are chosen, but the first and
main consideration is that the name
shall be easily distinguishable in ordir
nary conversation; that it is not
similar to the name of some other
exchange in the same local area, and
that word is selected that is easily
spelled. In order to be suitable for
use in machine switching offices, the
first three letters must not be used in
the same area as the code correspond
ing to another name.
Accordingly, exhaustive tests are
made by telephone engineers to de-
terHine the phonetic suitability Of
a word. Words are tested over tele-
phone wires by different people. After
a long list OF words has been sub
jected to a suitable number of tests,
ordinarily many thousands, the re-
suits are summarized, and those on
which the smallest number of errors
have been found are set aside for use,
the name ordinarily being graded in
accordance with it's apparent desir-
ability
