. PARIS, May 17.-Great operas Will

Sir Thomas has a plan for an

The American Institution of Chem.
istry announced today that 1t is
preparing a general and widespread
research into the whole problem of
agricultural production and distrI-
button, the ultimate object of which
is to produce facts and theoretical
practices that will put the former
on the same plane with the in
dustrialists.
New Fields Planned
Development of markets for the
farmers products in other fields
than food is the basis of the chem
lists Peha utilization plan. The opening
guns Of the drive will be fired when
the chemistry institute meets at
Evanston, ILL.,, in July.
Under the present conditions the
farmer sells little but foOd-his In
come is dependent upon the sale
of this necessity" DIR. Frank e.
Whitmore, director OF the institute
explained. Sale of necessities does
not produce prosperity"
''The money that il expended for
luxuries spells the difference be.
tween merely breaking even and
real prosperity. Luxuries for the
people result from prosperity, but
on the other hand the production
and sale of luxuries creates new
employment and therefore contri-
butes to prosperous conditions.
Luxury Money Lacking
''The farmer is not getting any of
the luxury money. Until he does
his condition will not improve ma
terialIy. 1t is the job OF science
not only to create new and non
food products from the agricultural
output, but to find practical COM
merciaI uses for them"
Already q start has been made
in the field OF new markets. Ten
per cent of the corn produced last
year was converted not into break
fast foods, starch ana moonshine,
but into butyI alcohol the basis for
the production OF lacquer semi.

dustry will serve to absorb por-

contributed to better conditions for
the farmer.
Scientists said that there are hun
dreds of other non. food products
which may be developed from the
farmers output and that the nee
essary research will find for them
extensive commercial outlets. The
chemistry institute will urge that

in making the property one OF the
best regulated horse breeding estab'

Already he has constructed stud

Van Schenk Brill claims to be a
rival of Prof. Bendani of Faenza
Observatory, the eminent Italian
forecaster of earthquakes.
During an interview with Interna-
tiOnal News Service the "Diviner'
produced properly documented evil
dence signed by a Dutch notary
public showing he had accurately
forecast 20 seismic disturbances
since 1928.
The first was the violent earth
quake in Japan in September, 1928,
while other predicted disturbances
took place in Greece, in 1925, eau
casia, in 1925, and in Greece and
the Balkans this year.
I'm my opinion It is not the
earth, but another power In the
universe that causes earthquakes, "
said the forecaster. This power IS
always at work but sometimes 1t
develops excessive activity when
quakes result"
Won Schenk Brill said this power
is active at present, indicating a
number of severe 1uakes through
out the world this year.

NEW ENGINE IS
SEEN AS BOON
by International News Service


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 15,-A
gas engine. which its inventor
Morton Spence of this city, claims
will revolutionize costs in the
motor field and which will vitality
affect initial building costs and
upkeep, as we'll as boast efficiency,
has been patented by the United
States Patent Office at Washing
ton.
The engine. Spence explains.
utilizes q radical new principle In
the manufacture of internal COM
bustion gas and steam engines. The
specifications provide for a block
structure in which a single screw
ring is utilized to connect the cyl
Under with the engine block proper.
Further the cylinders are remov.
able.
A common defect Of present day
enginesy Spence points out. is that
the throw of the crank causes
lateral thrust against opposite parts
OF the internal wall OF the cylinder.
Regrinding and reboring are done
away with in the new engine,
Spence claims.
Oversize rings and pistons are
eliminated, making replacement
costs only fractional.
The new type engine, due to its
lightness, will prove a boon. to
aerial engine builders, he declares.

that the 1927 exports of British

ceeded those of the preceding year

about 81 per cent" Lee said.
Almost Normal
"It is especially noteworthy that
in quantity British exports for laSE
year were practically equal to those
of the more normal year, 1879
though lower prices caused fela'
tive decline of S.3 per cent IN
value"
The total adverse visible mer'
chandise balance for 1927 was $751;
219 600 pounds. a marked drop from
the huge total of 462. 819, 900 pounds

mage and general strike. The al
