STAFF Increased
The Australian Embassy Is not
far behind the Indian in additions,
for within a fortnight they have
two new members and the Military
Mission also is augmented. These
newcomers made the trip over much
of the length and breadth of the
Pacific to Vancouver aboard the
same ship and reached Washington
within a fortnight. The new Com
mercial Attache, Mr. Paul F. Magee,
was accompanied by Mrs. Magee
and their two daughters, Bronwen,
now 4, and little Dierdre not yet 2.
The new Scientific Liaison Officer
is Mr.. LOTUS Hills, who not only is
a newcomer himself but is es-
tablishing a new Office at the EN-
bassy. He, too, was accompanied by
his wife and two children, though
they are both boys, John Gregor
and Jaspar James. Neither of these
families has been able
to find house or apartment.
More fortunate is Staff Sergt.
George Francis Vergelin, who is
attached to the Military Mission.
He and Mrs. Vergelin and their
three children came aboard the
same steamer as the others. They
have found a house at 2616 L street,
which is in one of the very old por-
lions of Washington. The children
are Terence George, nearly 8; Diana
Mary and little Barbara Joan.
1t. Col. L. Y. C. Rank, also of the
mission, has been here for some
time and was joined within the
fortnight by Mrs. Rank and their
two daughters, Jill, and Rosilind,
months. They also are fortunate
in finding house and are living
at 1927 Hamilton street.
The Philippine Embassy, estab-
1ished in midsummer, will have an
enlarged staff before very long. The
Ambassador, Mr.. Joaquin M. Eli
zalde, still occupies an apartment
in the Shoreham while the house

Mrs. Fred A. Britten, is being re-
decorated and somewhat remodeled
for him. Mrs. Britten, widow of the

Prehistoric Crop

Wheat, like rice, barley, oats and
rye, is an Old World cereal grass
developed since prehistoric times
for its seed. It ranks far behind the
New Worlds cereal grass, corn, in
both acreage and production in the
United States, but occupies more
land in the world than any other
crop. It's point of origin is less posi-
lively fixed than that of the other
grains, but seems to have been
somewhere in southwestern Asia.
