This is matter of acute con-
Germ to the United States and Ar

is one Of the heaviest eaters of
wheat in the world. The per capita
consumption is over 400 pounds an
nually.
United States oil interests are
being severely affected by the close
trade entente between the govern

and the Soviet Petroleum Syndicate.
The AGIP company has entered

Needs Raw Material
Italy needs raw materials and
wants to sell manufactured prod

Russia needs manufactured prod
ucts and wants to sell raw materials.
Therefore, Italy's purchases from
Russia are increasing, especially
since the new trade agreement in
August.
Italian imports Of raw materials

petroleum-has increased nearly 100
per cent in the last year.
The great bulk Of this increase

Proof That Trout Prcys

Gently proved to the rangers in charge
of the fish planting that trout are
cannibals-and also proved too much
for the disposition of the rangers
who promptly disposed of the offend
ers. Oscar Irwin, park ranger. was
in charge of the planting of a supply
of steelhead fry in the upper end of
the lake. After releasing the young
fish the planting party noticed large
fish swimming around in the shallow
water chasing four of the small fish
just released from the can. Ranger
Irwin waded out after the attacker
with a shovel, hit it over the back,
scOOped it up and brought it to dry
land. 1t proved to be a 14-inch Ger,
man brown trout. A few minutes
later another fish appeared in search
of food, and again Irwin and his
trusty shovel went to the defense of
the fry. This time he brought out a
16-inch trout of the same species.

bitter debate, 1t was decreed that a
new bridge must be built. Two
years later the duke of York laid
the foundation stone; and then, after
six years more, the new structure,
only few yards higher up the river,
was opened with flags, music, oratOry
and parades. In the following year
old London bridge went the way of

the other, just as it's predecessors
carried Saxon and cOnquerer, knight

swifter now, what with motor cars
speeding along the deck widened in
the beginning of the motor age, the
bridge has not broken with Britain's s
past. It's lamp posts are cast of the

BRIDGE LONG PART
OF ''LONDON TOWN.
Structure Across Thames in
Use for More Than
a Century.

That bridge across the Thames at
London which is borne upon five
granite arches and known as London
bridge has completed 100 years
Of history. But its name is much
older than a century. At or near the
point at which this modern structure
spans the river there has been a
crossing from time immemOrial. The
SaXons had a bridge there (or sue
cessive bridges) made of wood and
barred by a fortified gate-a gate
to the city. 1t was swept away by
storm.
Then, in 11SG. only a little more
than a century after the COnquerer

Experiments Show That
Best Hens Paw Profits

Illinois hens that were given a
chance held up their end on the
farm earnings under the stress of
1890 conditions by paying aver
age profits of $1.61 a hen, says the
Missouri Farmer. Records kept
by 264 farm flock owners in CO.
operation with the extension serv-
ice of the college of agriculture
University of Illinois, have been
summarized. The average profits of
$1.61 hen were paid by the one
third highest flocks in the group. In
contrast, the One-third lowest flock
lost money at the rate of 30 cents
hen. while the average for the en-
tire group of 246 was a porfit of
GA cents a hen.
Owners of the one-third highest
flocks kept up their profits in the
face of 1880 conditions by taking
advantage of the low feed cost, get
ting more eggs and increasing their
efficiency generally, it was ex-
planned by III. H. Alp, poultry ex
tension specialist of the college.
hens III the One-Lnlr0 nlgneSt hooks
laid an average of 135 eggs each
during the year, while those in the
one-third lowest flocks averaged
only III eggs. The average egg
yield for the 246 flocks was 126
eggs a hen. There was an aver
age of 1877 hens in the one-third
highest flocks, 139 hens in the one
third lowest, and 1S5 in the 246

Well Fed Flock Will
Bring Profit to Owner

In feeding your poultry flock that
is expected to lay eggs this fall and
winter when the price is high re-
member that true economy lies in
persuading them to eat as much
as possible of the right kind of
food. The more they eat the fast
er they will grow and the more
likely they will be to lay early and
abundantly.
During the hot dry days of August
and early September the chicks are
a good deal like other folks and
their appetites will be a little off.
then is a good time occasionally to
mix up moist mash. not wet and
sloppy, but moist enough to make
it appetizing for them, and let them
have such a food once every day
or two. 1t will help them to eat
more and will tone up their appe-
tites.

Ceiling of the World

"What is the ceiling today?" This
is a common question around air.
ports, because a flying ceiling"
varies with the atmospheric density.
To determine accurately the fuctuat-
ing ceiling clouds, haze and fog
around airports and weather bureaus,
an experiment is being conducted in
Cleveland with a light beam that is
virtually a tape measure.
To determine the ceiling height
with this new electric tape measure,
it is only necessary to focus the light
beam from a light protector upon the
clouds and to sight, through a special
gauging instrument, the light spot
thus thrown on the clouds. The op-
teal system employed in the pro-
jectOr produces a phenomenon beam
