0UT of all the research and trial
~ of cod liver oil and OF sun
shine in relationship to human
health there has come a product
which physicians will use widely
in the coming years, under the name
of viosterol.
When human body Is exposed
to sunshine, changes take place in
the tissues to produce vitan1in D.
The substance that is changed by
sunlight to vitamin D is called
ergoSterol.
Hence the new substance is
known as irradiated ergcsterol or
viosterol, the latter name given be-
cause it is a yitamin developed from
a sterol.
This substance is tremendously
potent as compared to cod liver
oil. In fact it is so potent that
manufacturers have decided not to
put it on the market in It's pure
form. but to standardize 1t so that
it will be just 100 times as strong
as cod liver oil in vitamin D con-
tent.
Thus the infant who needs vita
min D for the prevention OF rlcKeGs

MELBOURNE FOUNDED
Aug. 20.


Aug. 20.
0N Aug. %, 1885. British settlers
" founded Melbourne, Australia,
which is today the capital OF the
state of Victoria, on HobSon's bay IN
the harbor of Port Philip, the en-
trance of which is forty miles south
Of the city.
The city was first given the ma
tive name of .Dootigola, but was
afterward changed to Melbourne
in honor of Viscount Melbourne,
premier of Great Britain.
In 1841 the population had leaped
to 1000 and scarcely more than
a decade later the discovery of the
Ballarat gold field brought such an
influx of adventures that the town
increased rapidly in size and had a
population of 100000 in 1912.
Today it has the largest popula-
ton of any Australian city (about
TAB 900 in 1919 and occupies a high
rank among British overseas ports
Melbourne is an important manu-
featuring town and commercial CEN
ter. Almost the entire commerce OF
the state is carried on there, the
chief exports being wool, hides, cat
tie, gold, silver and sheep.

CPEAKING of money, French

All that is necessary is to take six

the mixture to a heat of LOO de-

FRENCH SOLDIERS
FREEZE TO DEATH
250 of Rhine Army Die
of Neglect

PARIS, March 10.-That 25O
French soldiers of the French army
of occupation in the Rhine died OF
the cold and fatal neglect, was re-
vealed in discussion in the French
chamber of deputies today.
When the matter was first brot
into the chamber last week the gov
ernmcnt stated that only thirty SOL
diers succumbed to cold at Treves
during the severe weather and the
minister Of war stated that the
deaths were due to influenza and
other natural causes" During the
course of further questioning by
Communist deputies it was devel-
oped that seventy soldiers died of
cold in Landau, eighty at Coblenz
and forty in other Rhine garrisons.
Many froze to death on sentry duty,
others died for lack of proper at
tention and still others were left
to freeze to death in the cars while
the officers attended theatrical per-
formances.
The Communist movement among
the soldiers is gaining headway.

Neu GunbOQts
To SeyUe Wall
Street IN China

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Six
new gunboats will patrol the
Yangtse River, far into the interior
of China, for the United States gov
ernment. They will safeguard Amer
lean interests in one Of the most
productive parts of China and their
duty is to see to it that none of the
American interests are imperilled
either by striking Chinese workers
Of the rival cliques of The Nanking
regime.
The gunboats have recently been
completed at Shanghai and are to
have their base at Ichang, 1000
miles up the Yangtse. 1t is probable
that they will never dock in an
American harbor, but are to spend
most of their time patrolling the
river above that point. Ichang is
one of the most important ports on
the Yangtse and the most strategic
point in the interior, for it is neces-
sary to load all goods here for the
large river steamers. Above ichang
the shadows extend for about 125
miles, where lies the richest prov
ince of China, Szechwan. All goods
coming from this province must be
unloaded from the smaller boats at
Ichang and loaded Unto the larger
river vessels. The process is re-
versed for goods designated for the
province, since TO railroad pene-
trates it.
The new gunboats have been con-
structed so that they can pass
through the shadows at high water
and some of them even at low water,
in this way assuring a constant pa
troll for the United States imperial
lists doing business there and an
ever-present menace for the Chinese
workers engaged in the industries
and transport.

cism celebrated its sixth birthday

boastful, vain, glorious speech by
the blackshirt dictator, Mussolini
who did not deny the crimes of the
fascist, but boasted of them.
Amid gala surroundings at the
Royal Opera House, before the prin-
cipal fascist functionaries, Musso-
lini started the Campaign" to
elect the fascist delegates to the
puppet parliament, who had already
been chosen by the fascist grand
council.
Speaking of the indescribable ex-
ploitation of the Italian workers,
Mussolini said: "Social legislation
of the fascist regime is the most ad-
vanced in The world, employers being
at the head of the movement. While
the working classes are fully disci-
plined in civic sense, the humanity
of the industrial employers entitled
them to honor. The experience of
Italy in this field, and the actions
of the fascist regime, have become
the model for several countries suf-
fering from class wars"
Mussolini boasted also Of the
bloody doings of his special tribunal
for the defense of the state which
has sent thousands of Communists
and anti-fascists to Jail where slow
death awaits them and which sem
fenced the Communist, Della Mag
giore, to death.

TRANSIT STRIKE
IN new ORLEANS
2,9O0 Men Out Today
in Open Shop War

NEW ORLEANS, La, March l0.
About 1900 men employed on the
street car lnies and the gas houses
of the Public Service, Incorporated,
are due to strike Monday morning.
The union, which is part OF
the A. F. of L., in its order Tor
what it timidly construes as "sus-
pension of work." mourns that such
an action was necessary and the yell
low officials complain that the bosses
had refused to meet them in con-
ference. This is the same union
which recently signed acontraet with
the scabby mitten transit line man
agement of Philadelphia, agreeing
not to organize a union there.
The street car workers have long
complained that the union was not
protecting its members, the best ele-
ments of whom the company was
firing regardless of the fact htat
the sacred contract the company had
signed with the union, forbid such
discrimination.
l tbs reported that the company
is importing a large force of pro-
fessional strikebreakers, and delies
on the cowardice and treachery of
the Amalgamated officials to defeat
any militant action by the strikers.
