Makes Shaping Turtle
 Farm Source of Profit

FERTILE, Ia, Jan. 16. (P)-Some 10000 snapping turtles now lie bur- Jed beneath the boggy acreage of the hill country of north Iowa enjoying their long winter sleep, because the world war broke out in Europe in 1914.
 Europe is long way from Fertile but it is where Hans Johnson, youth ful soldier, got his idea for the es- tablishment of turtle farm that SUD- plies large per cent of the turtle flesh that eventually finds it's way to the dining rooms of Americas foremost hotels
 Johnson was a doughboy in the SSth division of the A. E. F. In Sep- tember of 1917 he obtained a leave of absence and wandered down to Monte Carlo, of gambling fame. One night a wealthy American, steel manufacturer, invited Johnson and a numbre of companions to dine with him at the Grand Cafe near the Ca sino. Caledonia mydas broth, a soup made from the flesh of species of West Indian turtle, was served. The check for it was large.
 Johnson reasoned that if wealthy men paid without protest such high prices for mydas broth, it would pay to go into the business of supplying the market. Thus was born the idea of Fertile's turtle farm, the plans for which Johnson put into effect after he came home. Five years ago Johnson began his work by leasing ten acres of river bottom land, mak- ing success of the venture from the start.

ENGLAND BRINGS
 BACK OLD TIME
 COUNTRY DANCES

LONDON, Jan. 15. (P)-There has been a sudden countrywide revival of of the old English country dances, and a great all-England folk dance festival is ushering in the New Year in the grand hall of London University, in South Kensington.
 The revival is bringing the Merry dance and the Sword dance into their own again, says a report by the Eng fish Folk Dance Society, which asserts these dances are being taken up with enthusiasm by tens of thousands of young people throughouts England. The society is compelled to refuse hundreds of applicants from would-be learners because of it's inability to se- cure enough ballroom space.
 Women are taking up sword dane ing enthusiastically, many with the purpose of teaching it to the boy scouts, girl guides, and members of similar organizations.
 Scottish Reels are still remaining in favor because of the partiality of the Duchess of York for them, although the Duchess herself will not be seen in the ballroom for the next few months because of the approach of an interesting event in the family. Earl Bathurst, who at 61 still fol lows the hounds, likes jazz and many other modern things, recently deliv- cred himself of the opinion that in dress women have gone altogether too far. He admits he may be somewhat oldfashioned, but at that he does not think women have changed much for the better.
 My advice to girls is to avoid the vanity bag," said Lord Bathurst when presenting prizes at a Cirencester school The colored hose and the short skirts girls are wearing make him shudder, declared the peer, who said he much preferred the old-fash. toned high boots and gaiters. However, Lord Bathurst said, he quite agreed with the modern tendency for women to participate in sports more and more, and declared that a young wife should interest herself in football, cricket and toher games so

WOULD CONVERT SCRAP SHIPS
 TO WORLD WELFARE VESSELS

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 14. (P-The United States government would save millions of dollars and have tre- mendous impetus to world brother hood by literally beating it's swords into ploughshares, in the opinion of Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, editor of The Christian Herald and for thirty years Congregational church pastor here.
 Doctor Sheldon is advocating the use of discarded navy vessels as university ships," and a secretary of peace" in the presidents cabinet
 "Battleships that cost millions were scrapped after the disarmament con- ference at Washington" he declared Old shipping board vessels are still being destroyed How much better if they could have been converted into university ships, to take the pick ot our college students around the world on an educational tour.
 Wouldn't it be fine to remove the guns and munitions and fill the holds with provisions and merchandise; take aboard 5000 students and pro- fessors, and go from continent to continent studying daily as they would at home? Their cargo could be exchanged far foreign exports, and the expenses ot the voyage largely defrayed in this trading"

LONDON, Jan. IA. P)-Now that Turkish women have come out for modern dress there is tendency here and in Paris to slip back a hundred years or so and bring to the front some of the ideas which Constanti- nople has discarded during the last few weeks.

want law passed whereby the state
would take over all highways from
townships and villages. These and
many more interesting facts are
CLEANED from suggestions made to
the state highway department. Dur
ing the last state fair the depart
ment gave out cards which were to
be returned with suggestions for
improving Ohio highways" and they
have come in by thousands. Many
of the answers suggest state law
which would compel all drivers to
come to a full stop at every rail-
road crossing. Such law is in
force in other states, and has been
productive of good results. Gravel
roads are favored where money is
not available for the better type of
highways and hundreds of the sug-
gestions favor the use of prisoners
in making brick, thus reducing the
cost of brick highways to the tax
payers. Some want the gasoline tax
made high enough to cover all road
construction costs for the next 10
or Is years, thus eliminating any
tax for highway improvement upon
those who do not really benefit. 1t
is certain that the suggestions will
prove valuable and help materially
