Modern development in military equipment is so

The motorization and mechanization of troops is
an absolute necessity for that this column
has pointed out repeatedly. 1t multiples many
times the fire power and protection of soldiers on
both offensive and defensive For that reason it is
revolutionary beyond any military development in
history.
Yet it is safe to say that. in our Army. not one

For one thing. OBrien stoutly denies that his

dresses himself: "A plague on both your houses!
am interested in good short stories. Whenever I
find them, shall call attention to them, whether
they are Fascist, Communist, or merely human"
The authors really severe thrust, however, Is
directed at the teachers of short story writing

Committee on Trade Practices
brought in a report that renewed
the battle all over again.
The committee recommended
that the council adopt a set of
rules of fair trade practices and
circulate it among the business
men of the country together with
a formal pledge, under which the
business men would bind them
selves to abide by the regulations.
The proposed rules were of a
mild character, copied from SINH
lar rules in NRA and Federal
Trade Commission codes. But
again the council baked.

trade practices-but only as it's

GO many criticisms have been
~ heard as to subsistence
homesteads that it's surprising to
be told by RIA officials that the
homestead loans are only ga per
cent delinquent.
The biggest difference between
promises and performance is seen
in the cost of certain projects.
1t was announced that the cost
of complete homestead would
range from $500 to $500, with
the average cost between $4,000
and $4,000. The Reedsville project,
known as Arthurdale, has thus far
cost about $4,000 a family; Red
House, w. Va, $500; Crossville,
Tenn, $1,000; Woodlake, Tex,
$4,000; Tygart Valley. w. Va,
$500. and Westmoreland, Pa,
$4100.

Subsistence Homesteads from the
Interior Department. Resettle-

considering few others, but will
ditch nearly all the rest. Of the
33 active projects, 10 are COM
pleted.
The original $25,OO0,0Oo S. H. pro-
gram has become a $16,000,000 one.

Is Years Supply

IF the nation could be sure that the price of cop
Il per would never rise above the present 9-cent
level, there would be no cause for concern at the
premature abandonment of those mines unable to
produce at cents" says the board
But the fact is that while America still has some
of the lowest-cost mines in the world and while the
life of these low-cost properties will run for many
years her total known recoverable at cents
placed at only Is million tons which would meet
the national requirements for barely Is years at the
1927 rate of consumption.

afford to waste metal than our fuel Indeed
copper is clear example of the advancing depletion
endowment is exhausted and the centers of world
production shifting to Chile, Canada and Africa
whose combined reserves now exceed our own in the
ratio of to l."
The committee has this to say regarding lead:
"As with "copper" conditions forcing selective
of low-grade reserves Though the losses in metal
less than in copper, the industry can i'll afford
them, for the known of lead are small in
terms of the national life.
THE present known reserves of lead in the
United States estimated at about 10 million tons
of the metal This would only be equal to about Is
years supply at the rate of mine production in 1922
Before the depression the United States used to
produce and consume about 40 per cent of the
worlds zinc. In 1888 it producing only % per
cent, and only one-third of the capacity of zinc
retortS was being utilized.
Zinc mining differs from other metal mining be-
cause it lies at relatively shallow depths. The larg-
est deposits in the United States lie in the tri-sate
district, at the junction of Missouri, Oklahoma and
Kansas
