So much has been written about

covers 25 square miles of choice
rolling land, beginning about 80
miles from Monrovia. There are
approximately three million rub
Der trees bearing the precious la

Here, again, most of the skilled
work is done by white Americans,
with native Liberians doing the
tapping and processing. Unskilled
division workers live in primitive
huts on their divisions. They eat
but one meal a day and receive
an average of 20 cents a day. In
this connection, it should be said
for the Firestone company that
they offered to pay higher wages
at the very beginning but were
urged by Liberian planters not to
do so because it would upset Lii
berian wage standards.
Such skilled Liberians as there
are live in modern housing prof.

Firestone has its share of weak

| must say that Liberia would be
many years farther away from
modern development if it were not

chance to observe him at work.
He is not only a skilled diplomat
but man of vision. He has a real
concern for the welfare of the Lii

ment officials and members of the
diplomatic corps admire him. He
is also held in high esteem by
church officials, educators and the
rank and file of the people.
The legation, under Mr.. Lanier,
observes the open-door policy. The
work of Webster Walter, prede-
cessor of Mr.. Lanier, is praised by
the new American minister.

The white or brown color of the shell of an egg has no bearing on the food value Of the egg Scientists in the U. s. Department of Agricul- ture say that the color of the shell makes no difference in the quality or flavor of the egg inside. The shell color is due to the breed Of the hen. Another false belief is that the deep orange color in an egg yolk means more Vttamin A than a pale yellow. The yellow corn and green feed in a hens diet are good sources Of Nitamin A and they tend to give the yolks that deep color.
