In the main it fol- lows the same general line as American programs, but there is 2 growing demand for more serious talks, the corporation finds. In these the corporation makes every effort to present both sides.
 Music Is Paramount
 Music takes up the great bulk of the time and the corporation has one of the finest orchestras in the land. Dance bands are used, there is an hour for children, with hrcadcasts Of stock exchange re- ports, stock prices and news bulle- tins. Even an attempt at education by air is made, as in America.

Only he must warn her privately to be quiet about the murals. He meant to let out no hint of those until the canvases were in place on the new theatres walls

l)OpAA STR RATNS g
By ALICE ALDEN

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The land where dreams come true, where griefs of yesterday give way be- fore the dawning hope of bright tomorrow That is how beautiful Dora Stratos, daughter of the late Premier of Greece, describes the land that has given her succor and imbued her with the desire to leave bitter memories far behind her and climb the ladder to success.
 When Nicholas Stratos, one of the greatest statesmen of modern Greece, became Prime Minister of his country and steered it through perilous seas in the years directly after the Great War, the Stratos family certainly never expected they would have to live in America. But when Nicholas Stratos was as- sassinated and his widow and daughter felt that they too might be drawn into the whirlpools and quicksands Of Balkan politics, they knew they must seek another land where memories Of the past could be plotted out And so Madame Stratos and the beautiful dark eyed Dora came to the New World
 Lie nere is vo1y different for Dora Stratos than it was in Greece. True, she has plenty Of society contacts and receives many invita- tiCns to important functions, but life is different, because here she feels the urge to work, to emulate other girls in New York, who seek careers, despite wealth and social
 backgrounds. She has found that the butterfly may be admired, but is not loved, while the girl who takes up profession or business
 career carries all before. her. She
 has learned the meaning of prog resS and ambition.
 To Miss .Stratos, Greek has truly became a dead language. She con- stantly speaks English, even with |her mother, who is an accomplish ed musician and concert singer She was taught English. by gov erness as a child in Athens and that knowledge stands her in good stead today.
 She is now private secretary and interpreter for Madame Marika
 Cotopculi, the great Greek trage- dienne, who is giving a series oi
 Greek classical and modern plays
 at the New Yorker Theatre in New
 York The Cotopouli season is .un- der the most distinguished patron age and nightly the theatre is filled with an audience Of society peop,a and compatriots Of the acwess .whe
 have had to deny themselves to b2
 able to purchase a seat But this story is of Dora Strat0s.
 The beautiful Greek girl, whe
 nas already found her niche in thz
 business life Qf New York, has as
 pirations to find a place for her self, on the stage. She feels that
 English is as much her language as if she had always spoken it
 because she already thinks ano talks only in that medium. She believes that the rich background that has been hers is the idea background against which to pro ject her beauty, talent and person ality. But even if thespian career lis not obtainable, she can never

THE recent recommendation of the Dairy Ad-
visory Committee that the number of dairy
cattle be reduced by the slaughtering Of of
every 10 cows now producing may not be as
wasteful as it appears on the surface. To the
man In the city who pays price for milk
and dairy products which has not fallen IN
proportion to the decline in price of other foods
the recommendation may seem to be aimed
at an attempt to set UP an artificial shortage OF
mix products which would keep prices high
There is no doubt that the effect Of any such
widespread slaughtering would tend toward
maintaining present price levels, but the gen
eral effect of the movement would be for the
best.
For years agricultural experts have been
preaching efficiency TO the dairy farmer. They
have urged him to test the product OF each
COW for butter-fat content They have recon-
menced that he keep a daily chart of the
weight of milk each produces and the
amount of feed given to each At the end OF
each month balance would be struck and
the outlay for feed compared with the income
from the sale Of the milk.
Efhcient farmers follow these methods.
Among the individuals of the herds are found
many which pay their way and leave over
balance of profit. They represent the paying
guests OF the herd. Others are the poor rela-
tives who live on the bounty of the farmers, not
yielding eno'Sa milk TO pay for their feed
farmer would De Tar better on without SUCH
cattle in his herd and could receive larger
net income with less work by eliminating such
individuals The slaughtering IN this case would
be justihahle
If the dairyman could receive as large an
income-that is net income-with less ex-
penditure of time he would have more time
for the other farm work which Is too often
neglected because of the labor entailed in tax
ing care Of large dairy herd The ability 70
obtain cash return from other crops would
place him IN position of not requiring so
great an income from his milk, which in the
end would likely result in lower prices TO the
consumer.
Another and perhaps greater reason for the
slaughtering Of part of the dairy herds is to
be found IN the fact that the dairy industry
is faced with an unhealthy expansion at this
time. The prices for dairy products have been
maintained on a fairly steady level If any
thing there has been an increase in some lines

THE howl which went up in Florida when
the quarantine on citrus fruit was placed
by the Department of Agriculture in the cam
paign to eradicate the Mediterranean fruit ny
was loud and long Nevertheless, the quaran-
tine stuck and an almost disastrous year fol-
lowed for the growers The treatment was
heroic, but, like many heroic treatments, highly
effective, and a pest which might have spelled
complete ruin for the citrus growers of the
Alligator State was eliminated in one major
operation.
Like all patients who see the virtue of an
effective treatment, the citrus industry turned
to the doctor and asked for more advice and
treatment. In thic case. the F1oridians asked
for the establishment of experimental labora-
tory for study Of citrus problems. Unfortunately,
the Department of Agriculture had no funds
available for this purpose but Congress provided
for the operation of such laboratory. provided
the citrus interests themselves supplied the site
buildings and facilities. This offer was gladly
accepted, and site was purchased at Winter
Haven. A building was erected containing two
laboratories, large operating room and an
office This building was recently dedicated
and is now in operation.
The work Of the experts assigned to the
laboratory win not be confined to study OF in
sect and other pests, however. but win go
widely into the field of utilization of the citrus
products and citrus wastes
Not only viii study be made of the raising
and harvesting of the fruits. but better and
more efficient means of packing and shipping
will be sought There has always been o huge
waste IN the citrus shipment through the dis
carding of cuIls. This win be combatted
through the development Of methods Of ex-
tracing juices and canning pulps. Dried pulps
will be prepared for cattle feed when the culls
are below standards which permit Of their use
for human consumption. Certain of the wastage
can be utilized In the manufacture Of fertilizers
The rinds are to be processed for the extrae-
ton of orange oil. grapefruit oil. pectin,
uaringin and otl1eg materials.
