vast improvement over the old.
The new Transitone is power
full superheterodyne with auto
matte volume control and dynamic
speaker. And now, whether
aboard motor boat or motor car,
reception comes in clear, strong
and definite whether under bridges,
overhanging palms, and such
whether it is day or night. In
cidentally, the new type tubes are
sturdy enough to withstand all
reasonable shocks and changing
over to the dynamic speaker has
eliminated the grief which always
accompanied magnetic speakers in
motor vehicles.

Monkish Abode That Is
Thoroughly Up to Date

Living as they do apart from man
kind in little world of their own,
monks are not usually thought Of
as go-ahead people. The little coun-
try of Luxembourg, though, can
claim a monastery which is thor
oughly up to date. These monks
were expelled from France some
thirty years ago, and they have
since built a monastery which is as
modern in its comforts and appli-
ances as a luxurious London office
building. The monastery is con-
nected to the railway station by a
light railway along which all sup
plies are brought. Other railways
connect up the various buildings,
and save labor. All the heavy work
is done by electricity.
Electricity operates the central
bakery and supplies the heat need
ed in the great ovens of the COM
munal kitchen. Cooking is done on
the most scientific lines. Every
shelf of the ovens can be her
metically sealed, and by means Of
special devices all kitchen smells
are done away with. Milk and but
ter come from the monastery's own
dairy, which again is electrically
operated. The cows are MIXED by
electricity, while electricity sepa-
rates the cream and churns the but
ter.
The monastery publishes many
books. all Of which are printed by
the monks with the help Of electri-
cal neutrality-suspicious. Tit-Bits.

Annuities

The date when annuities, that is,
fixed annual payments for life to
individuals in return for a certain
consideration, were first devised. is
not certain, but the first annuity
table of record was in Rome, in 40
r. c. The business has been on a
volume basis for only about thirty
years, but prior to that time was
quite extensive for fifty or more
years among American companies

mission, but where there probably
may be need in the near future.
"We held them in order that they
might not lose their standing in

ITALIANS ABROAD
AID NATIVE LAND
Send Home Millions CT
Dollars a Year.

Rome.-I.ike the Jews, in that
they are scattered all over the
world, but differing from them in
that they have a homeland, nearly
10,000,OO0 Italians. one-fourth of the
peninsula's total population, live in
foreign lands.
These 10,0O0,0O0 Italians represent
an integral and important part of
the italian economic structure, for
it is well known that practically
every emigrant sends q portion of
his savings home to his family in
Italy. This has helped in some
measure to counterbalance Italy's
unfavOrable trade deficit.
Complete figures are not avail
able, but the Bank of Naples handles
more than $20.0O0,OOO annually as
agents for emigrants who are for
warding money home. The amounts
naturally vary with trade condi-
tions, 50 consequently the value of
emigraEt remittances in the past
two years has fallen off.
Huge Savings.
II is highly significant that the
National Savings bank receives
more than S1OOOOO0O yearly for
deposits from Italians living abroad.
These postal savings constitute a
considerable part Of the total saw
ings deposits of Italy. This means
that many Italians resident abroad
prefer to deposit their savings in
Italian rather than in the banks of
the country where they are working.
The distribution of Italians living
abroad IS equally interesting. The
Americas. North and South. claim
nearly 100000 Of the 100O0,000.
The United States comes first with
over 100000. Argentine comes sec
ong with nearly 100000, while Bra
zil has practically a correspond
ing number. These figures refer
only to Italians of the first genera
tion born in Italy and who have
temporarily settled in other coun-
tries.
Canada and Uruguay have nearly
100000 apiece, and there is a big
lapse in the list until Chile is
reached with the next greatest num-
Der. Peru is estimated to have near
ly 5000 and Venezuela 1000.
European Italians.
In Europe it is estimated there
are more than 100000 Italians liv-
ing outside the borders of Italy. of
which the major part, or nearly
100000, live in France. A consid-
cradle proportion of these are man.
uaI laborers who went to France
during the country's shortage of la
Tor although certain percentage
are political exlles from their home
land. Switzerland has the second
larger number. 100000 and Great
Britain third with 10000. Germany
and Austria each have about 10000
apiece.

,tinguish it from spruce and fir by
its foliage alone, for it is about in
termediate between them, having
needles SITTER than those of the fir,
but softer than those of spruce.
But its cones offer a sure and
easy means of Identification. Pro-
jecting over each scale is a three
pointed appendage or bract which
is the unique mark and stigma of
the Douglas fir. No other tree has
anything resembling it.
The hemlock may be known by
its very short leaves, ranged in a
two-ranked order down the sides of
the twigs, and by its very tiny
cones. Unlike the other evergreen,
it consortS with the climax broad
leaf forest on terms of equality.
The most magnificent woods this
continent ever knew were the beach
maple-hemlock forests of lower
Michigan, now, alas, practically
wiped out.
In them the hemlock was an in
tegral part; other evergreens, in
other places, are trees of the rocky
places and swamps and burnt-over
areas-pioneer trees, hardy and
tough and competent to wrest a
living from the slendereSt re-
sources, but unable to face the
competition of the faster-g growing
broadleaved trees when these invade
their stand. The hemlock, there
fore, merits special homage.

Addressing employees in the AL aska Railroad headquarters build ing at Anchorage Tuesday evening, Col Otto F. Ohlson, general man. ager of the system, emphasized the necessity of cooperating to the full est extent to increase railroad business.
 The KFQD broadcast said vir- tually every railroad employee in the city was present. Colonel Ohl- son stated the greater the volume of railroad business, the greater the railroad payroll and activities along the entire railroad belt.
 It was pointed out that certain Anchorage business men were plan ming to charter a vessel to carry freight direct to Anchorage from Seattle, thereby eliminating the railroad haul from Seward to An- chorage. Such continued diversion of freight, he thought, would fin ally result in more drastic action, or curtailment, under orders from Washington, D. c.
