as Many as Its

Washingtsn.-In only three states,
Oregon, South Carolina and Iowa,
does the plain citizen have an even
chance Of getting a license plate
No. to dignity his car, according
to survey published by the Amer
lean Automobile association.
In Iowa, SO 81 plates are dis
tributed, going to the first applicant
in each county. Early birds also
get South Cardinals 40. In Oregon,
the solitary 81" along with many
other low numbers. is assigned by
lot.
Twenty-one states battle all as
pirants to the coveted number by
assigning it to the governor. and
four others-New Hampshire, Penn
sylvania. South Dakota, and Utah
simply do not issue No. / plates.
Ohio. on the other hand, by an
ingenious combination of letters,
manages to issue 1,778 plates bear
ing the prime number All Of these,
however, have been reserved per-
manently to the present owners
since 1895.
In seven states. assignment Of the
low number par excellence has be-
come a political perquisite. In New
Jersey, 81 are issued, each going to
a state senator from the respective
counties. In Washington, assign
ment is made by county auditors,
treasurers, assessors and other Of
ficials.
Missouri's No. l tag has been held
by the same person for 20 years, and
in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and
Rhode Island, license tag patricians
have kept the number for several
years.

SEEN
AS INEFFICIENT
Big Terminals Become Over.
loaded With Fruit and
Vegetables
AND FARMERS SUFFER

Produce markets in many cities
have become bottlenecks il the
stream of fruit and vegetables
moving from growers to the urban
dinner tables. Many markets are
inefficient and wasteful because
they are overloaded This is one
Of the conditions which William @.
Crow, of the Bureau Of Agricul-
tural Economics, found to be com
mon ia his study of the terminal
markets in 40 large cities of the
United States. This investigation
IS an effort to reveal some Of the
conditions behind the fact that our
farmers, producers of fruits and
vegetables get, on the average only
about 40 cents out of each dollar
that consumers principally house
wives spend for these products.
The growth Of population has been
a great factor in overlooking the
older markets, but this has been
further complicated by revolution
N buying habits. There are not
only many more persons in the
CITY, but they buy on the average
a much greater volume of produce
per capita, says Crow. There are
FEWER backyard gardens to make
city consumers self-sufficient. The
cities have learned to depend more
ana more on out-of- season produce
brought from distant producing
areas. Where the original markets

ample, Crow notes that in 1886 re-
ceIpts Of fruits and vegetables from
FLORIDA exceeded receipts from
pennsylvania by one-third. "And
more than half the total receipts, .
ne says, was handled through
markets that were originally local
,etdn markets handling chiefly

LIGHTING HOME AND FARM
Rural Electrification Now as Never
Before the Need of Farmers


frank Attix Of near Kenton, di-
rector Of Delaware Rural Electri-
fcation. is interested to see rural
identification more generally used.
Recently he advised all those not
having available electric power
lines to form community groups
and 20 in a body to the Office of
I+be Delaware Rural Electric Asso-
citation at Greenwood and take the
subject up with the secretary of
Nh association Carton, that
he NAV explain details and enter
vour projects on a map to forward
to washington, d. @. The desired
mileage to extend rural service is
necessary for the department to
know as a basis for making up APP
propriations. With the advent of
the automobile and improved roads,
thievery has become increasingly
more common on the farms of this
country. At one time, the farmer
had little to fear except, perhaps,
a passing tramp who stole only
enough food for a meal or two.
Today, it is not unusual for gang
W thieves to make off with sever
al head of stock, large quantities
of produce or even some of the
more expensive pieces of farm
equipment True, practically every
farmstead has a dog which acts as
burglar alarm" But Of what
value IS his warning if the prowl-
ers cannot be seen? Yard lights
discourage nocturnal marauders as
they no longer can rely on the
darkness to hide their activities.
Then too, such lights protect the
farmer and his family from walk
ing into or tripping over unseen
objects, especially on storm nights.
Lastly, they make the farm more
attractive and hospitable to neigh
bors who drop in for an evenings
visit A little light goes a long
way on dark nights. For that rea-
son, only three lighting units are
required for the effective lighting
Of the average farmyard- one at
the hous, one at the barn and one
at the garage. Yard lights should
be 20 or 30 feet above the ground
and equipped with refiectors. The
height necessary to allow wide
spread of light as well as to enable
a person to see beyond it. Without
refectors, much of the light would
escape uselessly upward. Where
there are truck gardens, orchards,
vineyards, poultry houses, etc, it
sometimes is desirable to install
protective lights on the same cir
cult as the yard lights. Or they
may be on a separate circuit con
trolled BY a switch at a handy
point in the house. But whatever
the system or number of lights he
installs, the farmer will find that
yard lighting is one Of the most
convenient and valuable uses of
electricity.

PLANS
ON SUBMARINE
Navy Instructs Its Crews
How to Avoid Being
Trapped
USE NEW DEVICE

Washington danger Of being
trapped in disabled submarines is
being dispelled as result of i'm
proved escape" methods.
The principal advance has been in
the development Of the underWa-
ter lung and the systematic train
ing Of submarine crews in its use
at the naval bases at New London,
Conn. and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The lung was perfected by
Lieut. Charles B. Momsen Of Wash
ington, following the S-4 disaster in
which 81 men lost their lives in 1927.
Only several years before, about an
equal number died when the Ssh
was trapped off Block Island, r. ].
Lieutenant Momsen, now in
charge Of experimental diving at the
Washington navy yard, said the
present lung has proved highly
satisfactory and. as result Of in
tensive training among submarine
personnel. gave new confidence to
the navy's underwater personnel.
Resembles Gas Mask.
The lung is fastened about the
chest and is secured to the body by
straps around the neck and waist.
A tube extends from the lung to
the mouth and a clip is placed over
the nose to insure mouth breathing.
The lung" is charged with oxy-
gen, which is mixed with used"
air discharged from the human
lungs. A canister containing lime
ard soda purifies the carbon diox-
ide from the lungs before it is mixed
with the oxygen and reused.
The training at the 100-foot New
London tank, which is virtually iden-
tical with that at Pearl Harbor, con-
sists Of taking prospective subma-
rine men to various depths and
teaching them to ascend at the right
speed
The seaman first enters the wa
ter to his shoulders and takes sew
eral practice breaths' with the
lung to learn to breathe against
pressure. He then descends so that
his head is about one foot under
water to allow the instructor to see
whether the lung is being used prop
erly. II so, he is sent in diving
bell with an instructor to the II
foot level.
The pupil must escape from the
bell and climb up line which is Sc
cured to buoy at the surface. Half
way up the line he must stop and
take 80 breaths before ascending
further to avoid "the bends"
Deeper and Deeper.
The pupil must complete success
fully two ascents from the 12-foot
level before he is taken to the next
stage-the 18-foot lock.
An attempt is made to duplicate
conditions aboard trapped subma-
rine. The lock is flooded in order to
eaualize outside pressure so that the
hatch may be opened. A line with
a buoy attached is then sent to the
surface anu Tie navy AAAoA ENSAiAS
his slow climb, breathing regularly
as he climbs and stopping at the
halfway mark for 10 breaths. He
is warned not to 90 up faster than
so feet a second.
From the 5O-foot stage the pupil
is required to stop at points 20 and
10 feet from the surface, taking 10
breaths at each stop for decompres-
sion.
The last stage is the lOO-foot level
at the bottom of the tank. Here
the lock is constructed exactly along
lines Of a submarine compartment.
In cases where the pupils are I'M
able to complete successfully the
tests they are transferred to some
other division of the navy.

Just fifty-six long years ago
We rambled side by side;
can't forget that starry night,
1 thrilled with love and pride.
The love-light in your eyes l saw,
NV heart was light as air;
1 felt that no where on this earth
Could be a happier pair.
I've loved you truly all these years,
Throughout the bitter past,
And while I'm in this vale of tears,
I'll love you to the last.
We can't recall the arrows flight,
Or start our lives anew,
Much as I'd love to end my days
With you-a and only you.
In all those lonely years gone by
I've missed you more each day,
AS sadly on life's weary road
L pIod my lonely way.
But still I hope when done with
pain
Beyond those azure skies,
Wen meet, and shall see again
The lovelight in your eyes.

 T mustn't" she said, wanting to go.
 You could just get into the car, as if you were going for a drive by yourself. I could meet you in town"
 No. No. That would make truth out of all the lies people had said. It would corroborate every whisper; breathe life into every ugly conjec- ture. Yet she wanted to go.
 He kept pleading with her. I'm like an outcast," he said Like a pariah. Nobody talks to me. Nobody cares-Oh, Judy, just for few mirl- utes, couldn't you see me?

 But her mother said, Judy, I know you have never quite rid your self of-of being foolish about Dwight. Please don't see him again. He's another woman'S husband, and you are engaged to Jack"
 "So you-even you-think that" Because it was true, because Dwight had made love to her, she was even more indignant than she might otherwise have been.
 Mrs. Alcott's face clouded. She turned away silently. She had never quarreled with Judy. She simply stopped discussing things. Judy felt cheated, helpless. You couldn't argue with person who simply went out of the room. You couldn't change Mothers knowledge. She knew. She knew.
 The next morning she went to the hospital as usual. Jack was in a wheel chair. "Howm I doing?" he asked happily. Boy, few more days, and I'll be walking! Walking right out of here"

SECRETARY HULL
 TO MAKE SPEECH
Keynote Address Saturday in Lima-May Mention
 Name of Germany
By HOBART c. MONTEE

NO1AtCu ACco obdn NOIkCSnUIAuCubI
 Lima, Peru, Dec. 8-CUP)-Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull may men, tion Germany specifically in key nose speech to the 9th Pan-Ameri- can conference, emphasizing the freedom enjoyed in the American republics as opposed to conditions in the totalitarian states of Europe, 1t was reported today.
 Hull was expected to address the conference Saturday afternoon, out lining President Roosevelt,S hopes for continental solidarity among the 21 American republics.
 Basis Will Be Laid
 It was believed that Hull would not speak in detail regarding any plans for continental defense but would lay the basis for defense CO., operation by emphasizing the danger to American nations in the expan- sionist programs of European na- tiOnS.
 President Oscar R. Benavides of Peru is to welcome delegates to the conference at the formal opening tomorrow.
 Foreign Minister Carlos Concha of Peru, as president of the con- ference, is to speak Saturday. After him Jose Maria Cantilo, chief of the Argentine delegation and one of the key men of the conference, is to make his speech.
 Serious Business
 Hull comes next, and he is ex- pected to be the first speaker to take up the serious business of the conference.
 As soon as he arrived yesterday. Hull began 8 series of conferences with delegation leaders. He talked to Concha, Cantilo, and the Chilean and Ecuadorean delegates on con- ference plans.
 The secretary of state appeared most pleased as the result of his first talks and said he was gratified to find a unanimous will to com- pose any divergent opinions which might exist.
 Benavides Speaks
 President Benavides, in a radio speech last night, said of the con- ference
 We are countries without deep seated prejurices which might arouse antagonism between us or separate us.
 We do not think in terms of, nor do we wish, blocs or antagon- isms resulting from a balance of power. We do not wish to be strong fin order to use our strength against the weakness of other countries but only to insure positively our own sovereignty and to guarantee our efforts for the future"
