A Great Agricultural State

Illinois is one of Americas great
est agricultural states. With very
few exceptions the soil of the en-
tire state is remarkably fertile and
easily titled. Its climatic range
admits of variety of crops. Corn
is its leading crop and it ranks sec
ond in the Union in the production
of this important product. The

state also produces large quantities
of oats and ranks high in its out
put of wheat, potatoes, barley and
rye. Nearly all sections of the
state are adapted to the production
of fruit. 1t is, also, large pro-
ducer of livestock.

below expectations because of conditions
beyond our control. Now, the outlook is
encouraging. The number of cars being
built-while still below pre-war levels
is steadily increasing. Which means that
more of the people who simply won't
have anything but a Pontiac will be salts

If, in the meantime, you are ever tempted
to take delivery of a more quickly avail

made you want Pontiac in the first place

EnGYease in Gold
 Prize Announced
 By Mexican Bank

NEW YORK, June 15-Monetary experts said today the increase in the price of gold announced yes terday by the Bank of Mexico ap- peared to be a purely local develop nent which would have little ef- feet on world markets.
 The new official rate in Mexico, the equivalent of $40.61 per ounce, was more than $5 above the official U. S, Treasury price of s35 per ounce. It was noted, however, that the Bank of Mexico announced it would sell but not buy at the new price
 Latest figures of the Federal Re- serve System disclose that Mexico shipped gold to this country dur ing all of 1945 and through March of this year, the last month for which data were available. These shipments were made at a rate Of approximately $35 an ounce.
 Foreign exchange dealers said business in the peso here was negli- eible. The rate is fixed at about 20.63 cents per peso.

VETERANS GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. MAJ

| Question from Mrs, B. T., New ! Orleans: Can the widow of a vet eran who was killed in combat set any preference in applying for civ- il service positions?"
 | Sure thing. Widows of veterans, whether or not the veterans death was due to his service, are given a ten-point preference rating in all civil service examinations. Wives of disabled veterans also get ten points if their husbands gre unable to qualify for civil service jobs be- cause of their serWcc-connected disabiIi,ies
 Question from D. A., Detroit: What would you say. Major, about the prospects for homesteading? Dent veterans get some kind of preferred treatment in establish ing a homestead entry?'
 They do, but frankly the chance of finding good homestead land in the states is not gcod. Alaska may tc another story. and when scme Of the Western land Icing reclaimed is opened up to homesteaders. there prosably win be soge good land available. General Land Office, Dept. of Interior Washington, 25, D. C., can give you the whole story. An AP dispatch from Philadel- phia the other day of how the sur plus property foul-up was being handled by one enterprising cash and-carry store. The store is op- erated by the Navy, in cooperation with the War Assets Administration in Philadelphia.
 It sells surplus property-leather flying jackets, silverware, pillow cases, etc - to veterans only. It's evidently a pretty smooth set-up. Tco bad they haven't more places like that.
 Of course, the whole surplus prep erty picture has undergone a change Congress has authorized the setting aside of certain items, such as cars, trucks, and farm equipment, exclusively for ex-service people. Trouble is, there are not many of these items left to buy.
 Question from D. O., Portland, Gre: I'm anxious to take a cor respondence course in mcteorology. If the course takes two years, does that mean I'll have used up two years of my allowable free educa- ton undeh the GI Bill wien the course is finished?"
 If the course takes two years, you will use up one-quarter of two years, or six months, of your total period of eligibility. I guess you knew you won't get any subsistence allowance Whi'e taking cores pondence course, and that no vet eran can take course CT courses costing more than $500.

Marshal Thomas E. Waggaman of
the United States Supreme Court is
anxious to- get picture or drawing
of red brick house, where the court
met for a time after the British
burned Washington in 1914. The
house occuuied the present site OF
the House Office Building Annex.
Except for this house, Mr.. Wagga-
man has pictures of all seven build
ings in which the court has assem-
bled during it's long history. The
marshal appealed to veteran Wash
ingtonians to aid him in his search,
so his official collection can be COM
pleted.
David Mearns, director Of the ref
erence department of the Library
of Congress, is assisting Mr.. Wagga-
man in his quest and has been OF
aid in getting other material.
Four Story House.
The picture Mr.. Waggaman would
like is that of a simple four STORY
red brick house of Colonial design,
in which the court held sessions in
1915 and 1916. The building was
torn down in the late 1860s to make
way for the residence of Gen. Ben
jamin F. Butler. This in turn was
razed when the House Off1ce Build
ing Annex was put up few years
ago.
The seven buildings in which the

istration.
The traffic director asked the
board to take under study the fol-
lowing traffic questions:
/. Should the District have per-
manent registration tags?
2. Would Washington, like New
ark, prove safer if stop signs were
removed except at boulevards. He
said Newark's experience had been
that too many stop signs raised
the accident rate because motorists
relied on them for safety and not on
safe driving.
81 Should signs telling motorists
entering the District of the speed
laws and starting they will be en-
forced be placed at the major por-
tails of the city?
4. Status of the District on traf-
fic progress as compared to the
recommendation of the Presidents

last spring.
S. Striking some streets from the
list of those where no-parking regu-
lations now are in effect. Car own
ers on these cannot find other places
to park, he said, and are entitled to
consideration.
Accident figures presented to the
board showed an increase over last
year during the first two weeks of
october. Total accidents for the
period in 1945 were 1856, with 149 in
