I asked Mr.. Forbes how long he
had been studying music and he
told me approximately eighteen
years. Il first studied in Brussels,
Belgium, specializing in counter
point harmony and Instrumentation.
I play several instruments and my
preference is good music, not jazz. -

BLACK will step to the front

clares Banton. For daytime wear,

Y. S. Experiments in Iowa Reveal Many Usable

Federal chemists found that alco-

cork from sugar cane, stray, lic-
orice root and other wastes, engine
fuel from oat hulls, wood sub
stitute from cornstalks and water
supply purifier from pecan shells.
Nearly all of the wastes studied

acid, tar and carbon, each a pro-
duct widely used industrailly.
AS result, DIR o. r. Sweeney,
head of the Iowa State college,
Chemical Engineering department,
and consultant to the United
States field station, has envisioned
wide field for use of agricultural
products for non-food purposes.
He explained that with the popu-
lation of the nation increasingly
concentrated in large metropolitan
areas, the expense of their support
increased in proportion.
He would spread the manufact-
turing area throughout the coun-
try rather than allowing it to CEN

New England states. In this way
surplus farm labor could be used
in factories during rush seasons.

REPEAL CHEERS
PORTUGUESE
Liquor Producers Hope
Event viii Mean End
of Crisis

Lisbon (UR)-Repeal will put
the Portuguese wine Industry back
on its feet and end the crisis
which has gripped the industry.
At least that is what the Portu-
guese liquor producers hope.
/ The present negotiations for a
commercial treaty between Portu-
gal and the United States and re-
peal have enthused the wine in
dustry, especially at such centers
as Douro and MADEIRA where the
famous Portuguese wines are
made.
Reports of large orders being
placed has given impetus to the
Portuguese. The opening of the
rich American market Is expected
to result in Portugal getting a
healthy share of the liquor trade.
1t is understood here that a Phil
adeiphia firm already has ordered
10000 cases of brandy from a
Portuguese house.
Robert Granville Caldwell, the
United States minister here, de-
clared that the new commercial
treaty being negotiated between
Portugal and the United States
would be of mutual advantage to
both countries. But he expressed
doubt that the United States
would buy much wine during the
first two or three years after pro-
hibition because the Americans
are not accustomed to extensive
wine drinking after the long inter-
val since the dry law went into
effect.
