Queens Cruciix Added
to Vatican Treasures

The pope has recently added a
very important, though quite unos-
tentatious looking crucifix to the al
ready large and priceless collection
which he possesses. This crucifix
was carried by Marie Antoinette al
most up to the moment Of her ex-
ecution and is made Of wood and
brass.
After the queen had made her
confession, an hour or so before her
execution, she handed the simple lit
tie crucifix to the priest :. almost
her last earthly act. Some time later
the priest gave the crucifix to his
niece, who lived in Toulouse.
As she lay dying she asked the
cure to select some little object as
a keepsake. He chose Marie An
toinette's crucifix. Later he became
Monseigneur Ricard and it was he
who bequeathed the relic to his holi'
ness.

Millions in Vegetables

One hundred thousand freight cars
were required TO move the vege-
tables that were shipped out of the
state of California last year. This
represents valuation of $4,000, 900,
and the crop was so per cent more
than 1t was five years ago.
California is not only conceded to
be the first state in vegetable pro-
ductlon. but outstanding in the sci
ence and practice of vegetable pro-
duction and marketing. Since the
late 9Os, when the first shipments of
vegetables were made to the East
from the Los Angeles basin, methods
of growing, packing and loading
have been constantly improved until
at present the vegetable products of
California and Arizona set the stand
ard of quality on the East and Mid
die West markets.

China, unlike most nations, has
nothing that can really be called
national sport. Japan, in much the
same circumstances, adopted baseball;
but baseball in China has never
caught on to any great extent. Mis-
sion schools and Y. NJ. G. AS, however,
have done much to teach forms OF
sport to elementary and middle school
students, with the result that basket
ball, tennis and football are begin
ming to prove fairly popular, but only
among an extremely small percentage
Of the nations many millions OF
youths. AS far as the revival of folk
lore (which is being considered by the
social education department OF the
ministry of education) is concerned,
It is expected that the ministry will
encounter difficulties. China Is rich in
folklore, but while with one hand the
government is trying to encourage its
revival, with the other hand the gov
eminent is launching a bitter cam
paign against superstition. Much OF
China's ancient folklore deals with
supernatural beings, and with histor-
ical and mythical characters endowed
with supernatural powers. What is

DEATHS
FOUND FEWER

MADISON, Wis, Feb. a.
GN.SD.-Moonshine poisoning is
decreasing in Wisconsin because
of the improved product offered
by bootleggers, but acute alcohol
ism continues to take its toll with
the potency Of prohibition liquor
about double that of the pre-.
Volstead variety, according to in
formation presented by l.. W.
Hutchcroft, StatiStician of the
State board of health.
The 1929 mortality report Is
still incomplete, but Hutchcroft
declared that so far not a single
report has been sent to his de,
partment indicating a death was
caused by "moonShine poisoning"
1T is our belief that there has
been an actual decline in the
number of cases of this type dur
ing recent years." Hutchcroft
stated. This is probably due to
a more refined product and the
withdrawal from the market Of
wood alcohol or denatured alcohol
for beverage purposes"
