now Germany including what wa
formerly Poland and Cxecho-
Slovakia). With the U. S. S. r., our
trade for the more recent period was
$50, 100 900, compared with $22, ,70O, 900
earlier. Some Of the European rises
are:
France, from $5s, ,7oo,o 900 to $ll1,-
700. 600; United Kingdom, from
$235, 100000 to $258 900 900; the
Netherlands, $37 loo, 900 to $54, ,500,-
600: italy, $23, 900 900 TO $33, 700 900;
Spain, $4,000. 900 to $4,000, 900.
A good deal of this is strictly war
commerce. The most sensational
commodity export advances for the
United States are in aluminium,
1888 per cent, comparing the two
five-month periods; aircraft, air
plane engines and parts, l94.3 per
cent; raw cotton, 1899 per cent;
chemicals, 6l.3 per cent-au of great
military value.
Tobacco Exports Injured.
The English American tobacco
ban has meant reduction of 69.9
per cent in leaf tobacco exports.
Corn exports fell by 27.6 per cent
and wheat by 40 per cent. Meats
and lard are up IA per cent, leather
AT per cent, leather manufactures
246 per cent. canned vegetables 778
per cent, wood and paper, 22.1 per
cent.
The special February report re-
leased yesterday by Secretary Hop
kins discloses a decline for that
month of $4,000, 900 from the high
figures of December and January.
Exports to four leading markets,
Japan, United Kingdom, Neither
lands and U. S. S. r., were consid-
erably lower in value than in jan
uary, but moderate increases were
reported for exports to a number of
countries, including Canada, Brazil
and certain European neutrals-
Belgium, Denmark, Finland and
Italy.
American exports to Japan were
approximately half as large in value
as in January owing TO smaller ship
ments of a number of commodities
cotton, petroleum. iron and steel,
copper and Woodworking ma
chinery.
The sharp drop, Mr.. Hopkins re-
ported, probably represents reaction
following the unusually heavy buy
ing of certain commodities prior to
the abrogation of the United States
Japan treaty on January rs. After
rising steadily from approximately
SIP 100000 in August, 1899, to over
s28 900, 900 in January, the value of
American exports to Japan dropped
to $4,000, 900 in February.

hands, so it was donated that many
others might enjoy studying the
shells.
All have names. Most Of them
possess a common and scientific
one. To many, shell is some kind
of clam" Some have even thought
one belonged to a snail" What
most people do not realize is that the
shell is the skeleton of mollusk.
To be exact, the entire mollusk con-
sists of the soft part and the shell.
The shell Is for the protection of
the tender living tissues. The dwell
er within builds the structure with
out. The fieshly mantle of the mol
lusk Is able to secret lime from the
water, adding it layer by layer to its
growing shell-the horny skin out
side, the beautiful enamel or pearly
lining inside. Each surface pro-
tects the shell substance from the
effects of the corrosive action of
acids in the water.

Natures Children
The Bears. Paw Clam

How the pattern is made, with the
exquisite colors obtained, is still be-
yond mans conception. In the
waters will be many. many species,
each taking from the same water
what it needs, yet maintaining its
own individuality.
Conchology is the name given to
the science Of shells. This name was
adopted in 1900 when about 1000
species of shells were known. Today
there are more than $4,000 species
of mollusks to be identified by name.
And instead of studying the shell
only, the whole specimen is studied
in order to ascertain its relationship
to other mollusks as well as its own
life history.
While it is fascinating to make a
collection of the discarded homes of
the mollusks, it is much more fun
to know something about the build
er-whether or not it could climb,
crawl, leap, dive, swim, float and

Collecting shells is one Of the ia
vorite outdoor sports of men, women
and children. There is fascination
about this search for a perfect and
rare shell that has led to the ac-
emulation of many exquisite speci-
mems. Some of the finest collections
to be seen in museums were once the
treasures of some one who found
beautiful shell which so intrigued
him that he kept the search going
until the result of his pursuit be-
came too great to remain in private

arrow, q squid. darts out Of the wa
ter like flying fish; 1t Is also q mol
Iusk.
When we come to the genus Hip
popus, we find these mollusks have
massive, equivalve, regular shells.
They are hinged. There are two
teeth in each valve. The sculpture
may be elaborate, with frilled scales
on the many ridges and interstices.
There is but one species.
In Eastern seas, the spotted BEARS
paw clam is one of the finest and
most highly priced of bivalve shells.
They are distributed all over the
world. The beautifully curved ridges
are decorated with rows of frond-
like scales. These ridges are ivory
tinted, and the purple rose spots are
so arranged that they form broken
yet concentric bands. The lining
is pure white, with tiny marginal
spots of dainty rose. The shell is
from 5 to Z inches long and from
8 to 10 inches wide. Believe 1t or
not, these shells have been made
into electric lamps, being very popu-
lar among the young folks who have
learned to convert their treasure
into q practical ornament.

RICH AMERICAN GOES TO
 CANADA AS MINISTER; IS
 ECONOMIST, DIPLOMATIC
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Cana- da ought to be flattered to blazes at appointment of James H. R Cromwell as U. s. Minister there This is the first time Ottawa has been claSsed as a spot where a diplomat must have money in reach to keep up appearances.
 There was time, not far back, when diplomatic posts were con- sidered pure political gravy. The lads most willing to open their purses to finance political cam paigns were the ones who got their choice.
 That tradition has not altogether faded, even in these days of career diplomats. It prompted one of the wise cracks that started Washing ton cackling when Cromwell, econ- omiSt and husband of extremely wealthy Doris Duke Cromwell, was appointed.
 Jimmy Cromwell got Canada" l" went the jibe, and Doris Duke got the Democratic party deficit.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 29.-John L. Lewis. CIO chieftain. today de- scribed Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins as "woozy in the head" ex- pressed contempt for persons "who refuse to raise their hands to re- lieve the distress of the jobless."
 The President of the United Mine Workers, addressing the delegates att tnding the United Mine Workers convention here, recalled that he made repeated efforts to get Sec retary Perkins and President Roos- evelt to call a conference of labor, business and Government officials to study the unemployment prob lems.
 Two weeks ago, Lewis said he sent four labor men to discuss the sit- uation with Secretary Perkins but she told them she did not think the problem serious and to give the Democratic party time and every thing will be worked out.
 After three hours conversation, the labor man went away, woozy in the head, just like the good wo- man who is secretary" Lewis as- serted.

Government Asked 10 Take Public Into Confid-

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The London Daily Mail calls the British govern ment to take the public more into it's confidence and to give more in- formation about the war.
 The Lord Rothermer newspaper pointed out that many persons, in- cluding writer H. G. Wells and con- servative leader Leopold Amery, had advocated British air raids on Germany, and added: F'What is the reason for these growing de- mands for action against Germany? They are symptoms of the irrita- ton and restlessneSs brought about through lack of information and leadership The people are not taken into the confidence of the government. They may soon feel that they are fighting war which is not their war"
 The Daily Mail disagrees with the suggestion that Britain should bomb German cities, but added: Let Hitler make no mistake about this. if a German bomb kills one woman or child on Allied terri tory. British or French, we shall have an overwhelming case for re- taliation and we should extract stern retribution.'

Rifle Fire Breaks Out on | Western Fronf-Subs

(By Associated Pressl

Air raid alarms in Great Britain, rifle fire on the Western front and heavy fighting on the Finnish-Rus- sian battlefronts marked Europe's two wars today.
 Russian artillery poured shells on Finnish positions on the Kare- lian Isthmus front, apparently to divert attention from the battlefront northeast of Lake Lagoda where the Films report important Soviet re- verses for the Red Army. The Rus sians have been unsuccessful so far in attempting to rescue large So- viet force surrounded on the Lake Lagoda front and now short of munitions and food.
 Bombers Over Helsinki
 Russian bombers flew over Hell sinki without dropping bombs but more than 10 oth CT localities in nearby Helsinki territory were bombed but material damage is re- ported slight.
 The Leningrad military headquar- ters issued report that nothing important has taken place at the front"
 Air Raid Alarms ] Two air raid alarms were sounded today in northeast England, the second soon after the first. Royal Air Force planes too the air immediately and the German group of raiders were quickly driven off.
 Weather CrippIes Shipping Severe winter weather has crip- pied British transportation and this has caused postponement of home leaves for members of the British Expeditionary Force in France.
 On Western Front
 The quiet on the Western front has been broken by rifle fire on both the Maginot and Siegfried lines while the French report the out posts are fighting off increased German patrol activities.
 Nazi Subs Busy
 French reports also tell of a new wave" of German submarine action against Allied shipping, estimating that about one third of the Ger mans estimated 75 to 80 undersea craft are engaged in the activities.
 The French statement also said depth bombs used are successful against the Nazi submarines.

PALM BEACH, Fla, Jan. 29.- Dr. William D. Haggard, 67, Past President of the American College of Surgeons and American Medi- cal Association, died here as the result of a sudden attack of the heart
 President of every medical society of which he was ever member, an outstanding exponent of preventa- tive medicine and an authority on many special branches of surgery Dr. Haggard ranked among the medical leaders of the nation.
 With the Mayo Brothers of Roch- ester, Minn., he shared the distinc- ton of having served as head of three great national medical organ izations-the American Medical As sociaation in 1925, the Postgraduate Medical Assembly of North America in 1930 and the American College of Surgeons in 1892.
 In Many Positions
 He was instrumental in the or ganization of the Southern Surgical Congress and served as it's president in 1917. In 1884 he was chosen president-elect of the Southeastern Surgical Congress to take office ln 1885. In l913-14 he headed the Tennessee State Medical Associa- ton, having previously been execu- tive of both the Nashville Academy of Medicine and the Middle Ten nessee Medical Association.
 Keep People Well
 In all of these offices he empha- sized to his colleagues the import ance of keeping people well as a part of a doctors work and after he became president of the American Medical Association he sponsored the "have-a -health-e examination your birthday" movement, whic h won international notice.
