GRAPE GROWERS. UNHURT
 BE DEMISE OF SALOON

San, Franeiseo.z-SiXs years of grape growing ia California under national prohibition have, proven unfounded fears of vineyard owners that aboli- tiop ee the saloon would iniure the market for their product.
 Statistics of the Agricultural Eco nomie$ Bureau of the Department of Agriculture do not distinguish be- tween so.called wine" and table, grapes. Therefore thex do, not know whether it is hunger or thirst that has caused themore than 300 per cent increase in tue demand. of other states for the product of California vine yards.
 Before ratitieatiop of the eighteenth amendment grapes sold. around $2Q a ton. Since thesl Jaw was. enacted prices have severaletimes soaned exer- $10o g ton. Acreage has. increased, ebut not in ratio co t&e srQatSlsss5 Ief .i carload shipments. Much. of the increase in the shipment figures <erefs due to the fact that 2 considerable part of the cr9p.qneles psed. ln, wine making within chf state RoD goes ta:4 other markets.

 They, find. that England consumes canned salmon jn. greater quantities per capita khan. the.s United States. They think it time to let the Amer ican public know more about the food value of this greatest food product of the North Pacific.
 Comparison of, canned salmon with other foods shows 2 value exceeding per cent for sirloin steak, 13 per cent for fresh eggs, and about 9 per cent for bread.
 For a number of years the salmon interests have been discussing an ad- vertising policy. and now that they have adopted it they are determined to carry it forward with aggressive ness.

A new social, classification, based not upon blue ancestral .sbtood hut upon the red blood of the living, is a possibility of not remote future. That was the thought in the mind of Dr. Florence Sherbon, of the University of Kansas, when she launched new venture six years ago at the Kansas Free State Fair at Topeka-a "Fitter Families" contest. The time may come," Dr. Sherbon said, "when the family not possessing ao eugenic eer- .tificate will bte looked upon askance by the 'certinfied family" Thus was born an idea that has since been adopted by six other States and by the National Eugenics Society," In the last six years 523 persons, com prising 126 families, have been exam ined as participants inathe iFitter Families" contest in the Kansas Free Fair.~ The purpose of the eeugenics contests, Dr. Sherbon pointed out, is. first oarouse family pride in being well-born and tos spread information coscerning heredity and conduct.-Ex.

KINGS OF SPORT REACH PINNACLE AFTER 30 YEARS

New York.-Most of the champions in sports today are beyond the age of 30, William T. Tilden. has asserted, and study Of the records gives sub stantial backing to the national tennis kings view.y5
 It reveals that, many of the top notehers in athletics are closer to the forty mark, with age and experience more than holding it's own against the challenges of youthful ambition.
 College sports and golf were, ex- cepted by Tilden, but while champions in the former sphere of activity av- erage around tweRty, the facts Oh the royal and ancient game show = age again largely triumphant,
 Bobby, Jones, the amateur golf ! king, IS in his early twenties, but Willie Macfarlane, Walter Hagen, J i'm Barnes and Mae Smith, holders of most of the open or professional crowns, average well beyond thirty Tilden himself gained the national tennis title six years ago, but at .S2 , now he still rules the roost, and is likely to be a favorite to hold his crown in spite of increasingly. formid- able challenges.
 Helen Wills, who lifted the tennis championship at 19, and Glenna Col lett, young champion among; women golfers, are exceptions 60 the general rule, but Mrs. Molla Mallory in tennis, Mrs. Dorothy, Hurd in golf, and Miss Mary K. Browne, star in high sports, are able representatives of the older group of feminine stars.
 Baseban's Iuminaries resist the on-. slaughts of time perhaps to a greater extent than any other pastime. Rog- CTS Hornsby, champion batter of the National League, will be 30 in few days, but such stars as Cobb; Speaker, Collins, Wheat. Carey,4 Heilmann, Ruth and Covelskie all are beyond 30, most of them closer to 43. Speaker is still among the games greatest batsmen.
