Picture Statistics
Teach Main Facts

STOCKHOLM.-Specially pre-
pared statistics have for some
time been used by Swedish banks
as poular medium for economic
education. Through their central
organization, the Association of
Swedish Banks, they have pub
lished a series of information post
ers illustrating in popular man.
ner vital facts in Swedish econo-
my. The idea has turned out to
be great success, and the ma
terial issued is now also being
used on a considerable scale by
organizations, firms, trade unions,
schools, etc.
The origin of the poster series
was suggestion that bank win
dows ought to be made more at
tractive to the public. AS the
first experiment with displaying
posters proved quite a success,
the series was continued. At pre-
sent it comprises some 25 pic
lures"
The posters are all printed in
color and have a uniform size
CT 20 by 80 inches. A simple lang
uage of symbols is used to illus
trate economic facts: how the
cake" of Sweden's national in.
come is cut up; the average
Swede's expenditure on consump-
ton goods, taxes, etc.; the origin
and distribution of Swedish i'm
ports and exports etc. Sweden's
production in various branches
wood, pulp and paper, iron and
Steel etc.-is illustrated by color
full pictograms, and so are Swed-
ish agriculture and fishing. Piles
of timber show the gradual de-
velopment of forest industries,
and a picture of large electric
power station, partly operating
and partly in process Of extension,
illustrates, together with some
easily comprehensive figures, the
exploitation of Swedish water
power resources.

"Tirpitz" Salvage
Under Way

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Fifty
skilled Norwegian workmen are
beginning a 5-year task of break
ing up the German battleship "Tir-
pitt" now lying belly-up on the
shore of a orth-Norwegianfjord
near Tromso. Once the pride of
Hitler's navy, the "Tirpitz' met its
end in October, 1914 under a
deluge of ~ six-ton bombs. Mas
sive craters on the nearby island
of Hak remain as grim reminders
of the raid and now serve as water
reservoirs for the islanders. Even
in death, the "Tirpitz" represents
a valuable piece of property. Over
10000 tons of iron and steel are
expected to be salvaged, as well as
over 100 electric motors which
have never been touched by water.
Many large auxiliar engines are
unchanged, as less than third of
the vessel is under water. Water
damage in sunken sections has
been reduced, thanks to quantities
of oil floating within the vessel
which greases the equipment twice
daily-with each tide. One AGO
HIP. diesel engine has already been
salvaged and installed in a fish
fillet factory near Melbo.
R,,f tho uyOrk 10 danper0lla
Stored in the ship are believed to
be thousands of tons of ammuni-
ton and large stocks of gasoline
and oil. The rist of fire and ex-
plosion is very great. Also locked
in the lightless flooded compart-
ments are the bodies of 1900 Ger
man Marines which must be re-
moved and buried.
