more or less alike. Mr.. Zimmerman, the secretary
of one of the departments, said white ask too

been a ton of statuary it could not have been
moved without dray and a crew. And even then
they would have had to put it some where
Nobody ever melts down a statue.
Somebody would have had to pay storage on it,
forever and ever.
They had a case of that kind in Prague few
years ago.

tons and the Prague football club broke, the
recipients could not accept the gift Moreover they
did not want statue of Mussoni, So taking
consideration with another they asked the Italians
to send for their statue
This Infatuated the Italian press and in the
meanwhile the statue accommodating storage

look like war, but the situation solved happily
when the railroad company not wishing to be stuck
with the statue, waived the charges. The Prague
football team then hired local foundry to weld a

in suppresSing necking by citizens forgetful of the
historical and artistic significance of these figures
and, in Washington, there many statues that
in some of the parks they stand like crowds watch
ing the engines at a fire.
Many statues depict generals on their favorite
chargers, but under modern conditions this design
no longer is true to life. Generals do not ride
chargers any more and there would be something
unheroic about a statue of a general riding in a
limousine or sitting in a swivel chair at a hat-top
desk.

Boston, October 8-Retail sales volume showed a smaller peccent- age of decrease in New England between 1929 and 1883 census of retail trade. An analysis of the census figures showing the changes in percentages for each state, New England, and the United States as a whole, prepared by the tatis- tieal department of the New Eng land Council, was made public by the council here today. Areas along the eastern seaboard have suffered smaller declines than elsewhere in the United States, the census shows with the greatest losses occurring in the central west.
 Sales volume in New England between 1929 and 1893 declined by AZ per cent. as compared with a AZ per cent. decrease for the en- tire country. New England's share of the country's total retail trade increased from 7.6 per cent in 1928 to 8.5 per cent in 1883.
 Despite the AZ per cent decrease in sales volume in New England total payrolls decreased but 36.9 per cent and the average earnings of full-time employees decreased only 1S.S per cent, indicating that

Retail Sales Volume ! Percentages Decline
New England's Decrease Between 1929 and l933
 Smaller Than Any Other Section of the Country

wage rates have not been cut In proportion to volume losses. These decreases compare with 43.7 per cent drop in payrolls for the Uni ted States and a 24.4 per cent de- crease in the average earnings of fufl-time employees.
 The effects of the decline in sales volume are apparent in the figures for full and part-time em- ployes, the council analysis shows. In New England the number of full-time employees decreased 25.S per cent, while at the same time part-time employees increased 13.9 per cent. h the country as whole the number of full-time em- ployes dropped 29.S per cent, while part-time employees increased 8 per cent.
 While sales volume has fallen off sharply, the number of retail stores in New England has dropped but 3.9 per cent and the number of ac- tive proprietors has increased 2 per cent, which seems to indicate that decreasing employment in other lines has caused many, thus thrown out of employment, to open retail stores. It is also probable that many proprietors have been forced by depression conditions to do some active work in their stores.
 In the following table are shown percentage changes between 1929 and 1888 for Connecticut, New England and the United States. l. Conn. N. E. U. $. Net Retail Sales -44.4 APO -47.5 No. of Stores 2.1 3.9 1.5 No. of Employees

Not until 1850 were serious steps
taken to transplant this wilding to
any great extent The first few who
had done so found that the berry
fiourishes with the attention given 1t.
Then the idea Of growing the fruit for
market was born.
Developing the wild child to its
present state has been q very inter-
esting experience. The strawberry
plants are pretty human. They are
male and female. We find that they
sleep, eat, crawl, drink and digest
their food
The first thing to do, if you have the
opportunity, Is to study the flowers.
Some are male. others female. There
are also bi-sexual varieties. The fe-
male or pistillate flower will not de-
velop good fruit without the aid of the
staminate (male) or bi-sexula flower.
New varieties develop from seeds.

Sour cream has so many other uses
in the preparation of sauces for meat
and fish and for salad dressing that
it really should have a column to it
self some time.
When sour milk or sour cream is
used in baking a certain amount of
soda must be used as well to neutral
ize the acid and at the same time
to produce the gas which makes the
mixture rise 1t is difficult to esti-
mate just how acid sour milk and
cream really are, and therefore it is
good idea to use little baking pow
der as we'll as the soda in the prepara-
tion of many Of these foods. AS a
general rule, cup of sour milk will
need one-haf teasspoonful Of soda; q
cup of sour cream will need only
about one-fourth Of teaspoonful. Old
recipes used to advise mixing the soda
with the milk or cream. In this case
q larger amount will be needed, be-
cause some of the gas Is lost when
the mixture bubbles. Modern recipes
usually suggest that the soda, as well
as the baking powder, should be mixed
with flour.
When sour cream is used, little or
no butter or other shortening will be
needed in the recipe because the
cream itself, of course. contains q
large amount of fat When 1t is used
in waffles or griddle cakes, q little
