Putnam patriot., 1930-05-29

And truly 1t may be said that the visual enjoyment of food and drink is a delightful ex- perience for everyone-sick or we'll. For this reason pub lications devote much space to the showing of proper table settings; cook books suggest delightful arrange ments of foods of eye-pleas- ing harmony and color con trast.
 Crisp. spotless linen, fine china or porcelain, gleaming silver, sparkling glass, ra- diant and odorous flowers what are these table access sories but attempts to sur round the serving of foods with an aura of delight that pleases the eye and gladdens the heart.
 We of Berry Spring who know the pure food value of Berry Spring Ginger Ales- recognize that eye-appeal has much to do with the popular ity of these healthful bever- ages.

tn eFig Is Not F'ruit-The fig is
not fruit. but the fleshy recep-
tacle containing the flowers. The
so-called seeds in ripe fig are the
real fruits. Each of the latter con-
tains a single true seed. Due to this
peculiar structure, the process of
fig pollination can not be accom-
plished by ordinary means. A pc
culiar insect. the blastophaga, has
to be imported for the purpose.

MILLIONS DIE
BY FAMINE IN
WARNING CHINA
New and Terrible Foe Is
Taking Huge Toll in
Far East.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Fam-
Inc, war and pestilence are stalking
through the length and breadth of
China today, taking their toll in hu-
man lives, literally by the million.
President Chiang-Kai-Shek's Ma
tional government at Marking is
menaced from the north, east, south
and west by three different sets of
rebels, plus an army of Communists,
and its future is in doubt.
Despite the Nationalist drive to
unity the country, China again has
split into a dozen different factions,
each under its own feudalistic war
lord who seems to be acting mostly
on his own.
The most serious military menace
comes from the north, where the
famous model governor" Yen
Shih Shan, of the province of
Shansi, is in alliance with the
equally famous Christian general"
Feng Yu-Hsiang, their purpose be-
ing to overthrow the Marking re-
gime.
Generals Mistrust Each Other
But rumors persist that even
these blood brothers, as they call
themselves, are not trusting each
other too far, for the Christian
general is understood to have Of
fered to sell out to Marking and turn
his guns on Yen.
A further report from Man
churia states that the young
marshal" Chang Hsueh-Liang, son
of the murdered "old marshal" has
served notice On the northern
coalition leaders that unless they
arbitrate and make peace with
Marking he will enter the fray
against them. Mukden dispatches
say he is mobilizing. His is one
of the best armies in China.
From the west is marching Mar
shall WI Pei-Fu, who once vir-
tually held China in the hollow of
his hand, only to have it torn from
his grasp by his chief standby, the
Christian general" who changed
sides in the middle of the final and
decisive battle. He is reported to
be marching down the Yangtze
valley toward Hankow.
Finally, rebels are to the east and
south of the nationalist capital, with
Communist bands rowing the
region.
Famine Attacks Population
Meanwhile, as if these scourgeS
were not enough, the most deadly
of them all, famine. is attacking the
harassed population. On the arid
plateau of Shensi, bordering Mon
golia. people are dying like flies for
want Of food.
Grover Clark, former editor of the
Peiping Leader and one Of the most
trustworthy and best-poSted Amer
leans in the orient. just has returned
from a tour of inspection. He re-
ports that more than 100000 in
habitants of the region already have
died and that at least 100000 more
are doomed to starvation before the
crops come inf they do come in
this fall
Clark refute the idea that the
famine is the result of the chaotic
political situation. He declares that
the long continued drought, now en-
tering its third summer, beyond
question is the basic cause.

BERLIN. Germany, January 29.-
poor old Gus" meaning Mayor Gustav
Boess Of the great city of Berlin, has
finally rendered his resignation-an act
which has been expected since the
mayor returned from his triumphant
American tour just in time to find his
reputation enveloped in a mink coat

Sklarek Brothers.
The mayor isn't accused of corrup-
ton, but he is accused of incompetency,
of having spent his activities in adver-
Using the glories of Berlin rather than
watching over his crooked assistants
and keeping the city expenses within
bounds.
Under the Boess administration the
city of Berlin carried through a mon
strous spending policy, the avowed pur-
pose of which was to make it splendid
metropolis. in readiness x1r a popula-
ton of 800o,0 900. Unnumbered improve
mentS of all kinds followed. Unfor-
tunately, Germany was poor. Loan fol-
were ended by DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
president of the Reichsbank, who OPP
posed further borrowing.
Meanwhile, the Sklarek scandal broke
while the mayor was far away. He
seems never to have understood just
why his beloved Berliners turned against
him He didn't want to resign. The
pressure of public opinion was too
strong, so he finally took the step.
But, lest one is too sorry for him. let
It be said that he will for the rest of
his life enjoy an annual pension of ap-
proximately $1,000.
