The Associated Negro Press London, Eng., Jan. 11—(By Mail) Anti-White feeling is fast increasing among the natives in various parts of Africa, states Renter's in an article "based on documentary and other evidence obtained at first hand by an authoritative British observer who has visited every part of Africa." Renter's informant emphasizes the growing cohesion of native races throughout the continent. He says the strongest factor in the development of antagonism to the whites is skillful propaganda fostered by an extreme section of American Negroes." "Circulars coming from nationalist sources in India and Egypt and from pan-American societies in the United States translated into five of the principal African languages are distributed in enormous numbers throughout Africa," the traveler states. "oklets of twenty-five to thirty pages urge that the time has arrived for the black races to assert themselves and throw off the white yoke. "It is only fair to say," adds the authentic British observer, "that these are not received with universal sympathy, but the very unsettling effect is easily observed." He has met it in the union of South Africa, in French equatorial Africa, and in a lesser degree in Uganda, in Nyasaland, Gelgian Congo, Abyssinia and Kenya. "It is wonderful the extent to which the war has produced fraternal feelings among natives, but in present circumstances they tend to become anti-Eurocean," he continues. The main reason is the growth of race consciousness thru the world. "The most effective remedy is an equitable system of land tenure guaranteeing to the native a stake in the country, protection from eviction by his own chief or local European interest and a system of higher education that provide something more than the three R's." PROFESSOR FLING TO LECTURE Fred Morrow Fling, Professor of Sociology and History at the Nebraska State University, is recognized as an authority of the first rank on historical subjects. He is to lecture on next Thursday night at Creighton Auditorium under the auspices of the Omaha Branch of the National Association for the advancement of the Colored People. Professor Fling's subject is "The Present World Crisis." The lecture should have a liberal patronage for two chief reasons. 1. For its educational value; 2. Because the proceeds are for the benefit of the splendid work of the N. A. A. C. P. It is a privilege to hear Professor Fling and it is a privilege and duty to help the N. A. A. C. P. The Monitor hopes that the audience present will be worthy of the speaker and of the cause. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON A large congregation was present at 11 o'clock Sunday morning.

HOOD OFF TO LIBERIA New York City, Jan. 20.—Among those sailing on the America this week for Monrovia, W. Africa, was Rev. Dr. Solomon Porter-Hood, new THE MONITOR American minister to Liberia. Dr. Hood who was a minister of the A. M. E. Church and a graduate of Lincoln University, is the only Colored appointee of President Harding who has been confirmed by the Senate. Dr.Hood was one of the first graduates of Lincoln when it was still a very small school. He formed a part of that famous quartett of the early 'sixties' which was the pride of the was on the strength of this famous quartett that the late president was able to raise funds to support the institution. AFRICAN ANCESTRY REASON FOR PRIDE Physical, Intellectual and Moral Characteristics Traceable to High Standard of Sex Morality. AFRICA PIONEER IN EUGENICS Our African ancestry is not to be despised. On the contrary, from interviews with missionaries, with native men and women, through study of recent archeological discoveries and of scientific treatises one finds much to awaken and stimulate race pride, I was constrained to get at the truth as fully as I could lately when meeting groups of Colored girls and women, because there was such ready response to the little information I had in regard to the worth-while characteristics, intellectual, moral, physical that were the African's own. The accounts of the Yoruba country, the history of the people, their industries, the government and customs are very gratifying. A large number of American Negroes are accredited to the Yoruba country. These people, the Matabele, the Hottentots, and numerous others are credited with having a very high standard of sex-morality—adultery and bastardy being almost unknown before the natives were contaminated by outsiders. We have long known that Africans gathered their girls and boys at the age of adolescence into separate groups in the bush schools for secret instruction pertaining to individual and racial health. Professor Aggrey, of Livingstone College, N. C., a native African who was a member of the African Educational Commission under the Phelps-Stokes Fund, gave me when I was at Livingstone College last year some most illuminating information in regard to the mysteries of the bush schools. 'He took great pride in pointing out how in sex-education his people had been in advance of some modern nations for a thousand years. I was made to feel that eugenics had originated with them. A scientist later returned from Africa stated that if safety of life and of property are a measure of civilization, then Africa and China are ahead of New York City—Dr. Sara W. Brown in the Southern Workman. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The first annual meeting of the north side branch of the Y. W. C. A. will be held Monday night, Jan. 23, at 7 o'clock.

COLORED AND WHITE BAPTISTS CO-OPERATE Decide to Start Work on $250,000 Seminary For Training Colored Ministers. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 20.—At a conference here December 29 of the joint commission representing the Southern Baptist Convention and the Negro National Convention, it was decided to begin early building on the theological seminary for Negroes that will be erected here jointly by the two conventions. White Baptists of the South are placing $250,000 in the seminary from the proceeds of the 75 million during the next five years and will co-operate in the general supervision of the work of the institution. The Commission expressed its determination to develop the institution into the foremost Negro theological seminary in America. FOR RENT—A nice 5-room apartment. Good neighborhood, strictly modern.

JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OLD CAPITOL COLORED COLLEGE WOMEN ADMIT WHITE WOMEN AS MEMBERS COLORED COLLEGE WOMEN ADMIT WHITE WOMEN AS MEMBERS The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Has Taken Unusual But Meritorious Action in Opening Doors to White Sisters. ACTION IS UNPRECEDENTED Presence of White Members in Greek Letter Society May Cause It to be Outlawed in Colored Fraternal World. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 20.—The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority which held its annual session here recently threw a bombshell into the midst of the Colored Greek letter fraternities by announcing several white women as honorary members. The Alpha Kappa Alpha's is the first and oldest organization among Colored college women and was organized at Howard University thirteen years ago. Its white honorary members announced are, Jane Addams, a white social worker in Chicago, and Mary Durkee, wife of the President of Howard University. Since all of the college Greek letter fraternities are secret societies with more or less of a racial as well as an educational program, its action has aroused bitterness and hostility in college circles. It is said to be the first time that any college secret organization of this type has taken in a white person. Lines on the other side are just as tightly drawn in the Greek letter societies of big white colleges who have always refused to take in Colored members. Several members here have announced that they will take up action with other fraternities during the year and recommend that the Alpha Kappa Alphas withdrew their memberships offered to white people or be outlawed fro mthe Colored fraternal world.

OPPOSITION TO EXCLUSION FROM HOUSE RESTAURANT New York Congressman Would Fight Any Effort to Deny Colored Citizens Present Privilege of Eating in House Cafe. PROPOSITION IMPROBABLE New York, Jan. 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, recently made public a letter from Representative Martin C. Ansorge of the 21st district, New York, asserting that if any attempt were made to exclude Colored people from the restaurant of the House of Representatives in Washington he would fight it. The letter was addressed to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Association, and concludes with a reference to Mr. Johnson's "strenuous activity" in pressing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. "I cannot believe," writes Representative Ansorge, "that any assurances have been given to Mr. Aswell as stated in the report. However, just so soon as I return to Washington I shall investigate this matter and advise you. "I am quite certain that no such rule as requested by Representative Aswell of Louisiana will be made during a Republican administration. If any such rule is made I shall fight with you to have it abrogated. "I am glad to have been able to cooperate with you in connection with your strenuous activity in favor of the Anti-Lynching Bill." MRS.

Wealthy Men Are Model Prisoners, Says Warden. They Are the First to Go to Jail for Violating the Anti-Trust Law—Are Satisfied, With Newark.—Four wealthy . . . manufacturers, powers in the tile, grate and mantel industry, the first men ever to go to jail for violating the Sherman anti-trust law, have been pronounced model prisoners by Richard McGuinness, warden of the Newark street jail, where they are spending four months. The quartet—Frank H. Noble, Arthur Silstone, Albert Shalle and Herman Petri, who recently pleaded guilty to eliminating competition after their activities had been unearthed by the Lockwood legislative committee in New York—apparently are quite content with prison fare. Although their funds are sufficient to supply them daily with an outside caterer's products, they seldom supplement the prison menu with anything but pie. All have developed a strong taste for this form of sweetmeat, and the pieboy never misses them on his daily round of the tiers. "Occasionally," said the warden, "we have a particularly fine roast or fowl down at the staff dining-room, and we will send some of the meat up to them. They could, of course, have meals sent in from the outside, but they seem satisfied with our regular food. That I take as a compliment to our kitchen." The quartet are all housed in one large cell in the hospital waw, because one of their number is suffering from an illness which requires constant medical attention. Therefore, they do not come into daily contact with the other prisoners—murderers, burglaries, petty thieves. When visitors call, however, the four must follow prison routine and receive their visitors in the prison center, or general entertainment room. On such days this center is uncomfortably crowded. The four men of wealth pass the time much as they would do in their clubs. They have their pipes, their newspapers and their cards. But instead of looking out on the avenue through glass crystal clear, they gaze through bars upon the historic Morris canal, as from a feudal castle. NEW FACE WHILE YOU WAIT INTERNATIONAL Woman must be beautiful regardless of the cost and the pain. A recent dispatch from Paris told of prominent women having unshapely mouths beautified by the aid of plastic surgery. This is not new in this country. A New York doctor has been performing such operations for some time and has been successful in remodeling the features of many American women. The picture shows the surgeon removing lines under the eyes by making a small incision, removing a small piece of flesh and sewing up the incision which heals in a few days. Will Written in 44 Words. White Plains, N.

Superior, Wis.—Charles Baldwin, town of Superior, has trapped 12 wolves this year and received $240 in bounties. He is laughing at fur trappers, who have had a poor year. SENTENCED TO SCHOOL Illiterate Boys and Girls Forced to Study. West Palm Beach Bad Children Will Be Sent to School of Opportunity Instead of Jail to Pro- West Palm Beach, Fla.—Illiterate boys and girls under the age of twenty-one who are brought into Municipal court here in future will be sentenced to the school of opportunity instead of jail as the result of a movement launched by Municipal Judge Joe L. E. Carman, former newspaper publisher and editor, and backed by the Rotary club and other civic organizations. The school of opportunity has been organized along the lines of the usual public school, with a board of three trustees, consisting of Judge Earman, City Manager Carl Riddle and Chief of Police Frank Matthews. Business men have offered to provide suitable clothing for students who otherwise might feel embarrassment because of their attire, and Judge Earman has taken it upon himself to provide text-books, having placed an order for $500 worth of readers, arithmetic, spelling and writing books, to which subjects the course of study will be confined. The youngsters sentenced to the school will become members of special classes and will be instructed by a teacher employed by the city school board. Classes will be held in the city school building at hours which will not conflict with the regular classes of the school, the girls and young women to attend from 3:30 to 6:30 p. m. and the boys from 6:30 to 9:30 p. m. In order that the students may have individual instruction, classes will be limited to twenty members, and when the pupils have worked their way through a simple spelling-book, a second reader and fractions, they will be given diplomas, with all the ceremony incident to a high-school commencement. VAGRANT SIGNALS FUSS RADIO Expert Declares No One Is Able to Say Whence Myterious Flashes London.—Despite the most diligent research, experts are not yet able to say whence the mysterious "vagrant" signals come that every day, and particularly at night, are received on wireless aerials. "From the earliest days of long-distance wireless telegraphy the difficulties in reception due to vagrant or natural electric waves passing down the receiving aerial have been the bane of the wireless telegraphist." Prof. John Ambrose Fleming of London university told the Royal Society of Arts. He said: "Having regard to the fact that the positive atmospheric electrical potential gradient of the earth increases at the rate of about 100 volts per meter of ascent, roughly speaking, it is not surprising that aerials several hundred feet high may be traversed by quite large current due to this cause alone, which may utterly swamp the feeble signal currents." WALKS 60 MILES TO GET FOOD Russian Braves Snow and Cold for Needed Gift From New York Woman. Moscow.—Serge Victoriovitch Torskoy walked 60 miles through the snow from his home in the country of Riazanz to this city recently, to receive a $20 remittance purchased for him by Mrs. Mary Mardinf of 2020 Washington avenue, The Bronx, New York. When Torskoy arrived at the American relief administration warehouse here he was almost exhausted from cold and hunger. He could hardly believe his eyes when, after establishing his identity, he received 243 pounds of nourishing food, consisting of 98 pounds of flour, 50 pounds of rice, 40 pounds of canned milk, 20 pounds of cooking fats, 20 pounds of sugar and 6 pounds of tea. "I have a wife and four children at home," he said, "and this will save them from starvation. Mrs. Mardinf can never be adequately repaid for this kind deed." Dog Acme of Politeness Boston.—There is a French bulldog that is the acme of politeness. His name is 'Cest Tol and he is the property of Miss Alice F. Dunne of 46 Cortes street, Boston. 'Cest Tol got his reputation as an extremely polite canine when he chanced to pick up a lady's coat that was dragging on the floor. He did this so gracefully and with such evident enjoyment that he was immediately nicknamed "the Page" by his loving mistres. STEADILY GROWING THANKS ALL AKOUND! Whole Number 340 RAT TRAP INVENTOR MAY SOON BECOME KING OF FINANCE RAT TRAP INVENTOR MAY SOON BECOME KING OF FINANCE Allen Dixon Ran Department Store Elevator, But Used Imagination, Brains and Rusty Baling Wire Wisely. FIRM OFFERS $25,000 CASH New York City, Jan. 20.—Imagination plus rusty baling wire was the combination Allen Dixon has used to put himself on the highway to fortune. Mr. Dixon who is 57 years old is employed as an elevator man in a white department store in Nashville. If his plans go through in five years he will have enough money to buy out the department store and run it himself. To most persons baling wire is simply wire, but to Dixon, looking at all the rusty wire going to waste from bales of hay shipped into Nashville, rusty wire was rat traps. He pulled some wire off a bale, experimented with it and—got a patent. Hard and Hart. No. 100 Fifth avenue, are negotiating for permission to sell the patent right. Mr. Hardy admits the Negro will probably make a lot of money. He is said to have received already an offer of $25,000 in cash, or $5,000 down and 5 cents royalty on every trap sold. Dixon said he patented his trap last July. Just to show how much rats liked it, he said, he entered two on a competition at the Commercial Club in Nashville, and in one night caught twenty-six rats in the big one and fifteen in the small one. Only one other trap entered caught any rats, and that got only one. Dixon said he had other inventions that ought to pay him better than this one. He did not know whether he would keep his job after he got his money, but he would have to do something for he had worked too long to be able to quit. DR. RIDDLE IMPROVES Dr. R. C. Riddle, physician and surgeon, 817 North 16th St., has just completed extensive improvements in his laboratory which enables him to handle a great deal larger practice than ever before. His new office is equipped with conveniences to treat every kind of disease. Chronic diseases and surgery will be his specialty. His new equipment will enable him to give electric baths, body massages, mercurial rubs, steam baths, violet rays and X-rays. His new feature will be a free clinic in which he will give medical treatment free to all persons not able to pay for the services. This will consist of full and efficient medical service, prescription advice and consultation. Those desiring free service will be required to furnish statements from the pastor of their respective churches recommending them for the treatment. His office will be open from 8 to 10 daily and Sunday. CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY Attorney A. P. Scruggs quietly celebrated his birthday (?)

ONE member of the Nebraska delegation is vigorously opposing the Dwyer Bill and that is Congressman Reavis. While every man is entitled to his own opinion The Monitor was astounded to receive a wire from Washington advising that one of the active opponents of the bill was this Nebraska congressman. We cannot understand why he should oppose it. What under high heaven does he expect to gain by his opposition? We wonder if he is contemplating exchanging his Nebraska residence for some habitat in the sunny Southland? If so, we can understand why he would be trying to curry favor with southern politicians and voters. But even so the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is not a sectional or a partisan measure. Indeed many of the strongest arguments in favor of its passage are furnished by the leading newspapers of the South. Unfortunately the South suffers most from the lynching mania, but it is not a sectional question, but a national disgrace and menace. The Dyer Bill is a sincere effort to do something effective and practical toward removing the wide-spread crime of mob murder from America. The measure will not be a panacea, but that it will be remedial in some degree is generally admitted. Why then should any sane, broad-visioned, patriotic American oppose the Dyer Bill? What's the matter with Reavis? He, doubtless, may be honest in his convictions, but we believe his convictions are wrong. We believe he ought to support the Dyer Bill and leave the company of the filibustering southern oligarchy which is out of step with progress. Nebraska's representatives are supposed to be progressives, not reactionaries. THE sudden death, on Friday last, of Ex-Senator Jos. H. Millard, pioneer citizen and banker, removes one of Omaha's most outstanding and commanding personalities. Omaha has had an almost unique distinction in the character of her pioneer citizens. This is true, not only of the men, but also of the women who were worthy wives of the men who, through privation and hardship, wisely laid the foundation of this city's present greatness, which will undoubtedly be multiplied and magnified with growing years. What western city can boast a more brilliant galaxy than this chosen at random from Omaha's pioneers: James M. Woolworth, Ezra and Joseph H. Millard, Dr. George L. Miller, Andrew J. Poppleton, Edward and John A. Creighton, Edward Nash, Guy C. Barton, S. Caldwell, George and Joseph Barker, Henry W. Yates, Latham Davis, Herman Kountze, Frank Hamilton, Milton Barlow, Edward Rosewater, Casper Yost, Phineas Hitchcock? Of these men, making all due allowance for human limitations, faults and fallings, it may be truthfully written, "And there were giants in those days, men of renown." And a most significant testimonial to the strength of their character is the fact that so many of them are most worthy succeeded by worthy sons and daughters who are filling positions of leadership in the city. Among these "men of renown," there is none more deserving of honor than Joseph H. Millard, who answered the summons while at work at the age of 86. Friday afternoon. He was a kind-hearted and affable Christian gentleman of the old school rapidly disappearing from American life. The affection and esteem in which he was held by all in his employ, from the lowest to the highest, bespeaks the character of the man. He was a man of heroic mold whose mettle was tested in Nebraska's pioneer days. Rising to affluence and wealth these never robbed him of the human sympathetic touch which is man's crowning glory.

THE unprecedented action recently taken by the Alpha Kappa Alpha in admitting to honorary membership such distinguished and broad-minded white women as Jane Adahs and Mary Durkee is to be most highly commended. The fact that white fraternities exclude cultured colored folk from membership is no justification whatsoever for colored organizations manifesting the same narrowness. It is to their credit to show themselves too big for such littleness. Moreover, could women of the type of Jane Adams and Mary Durkee, and hosts of other broad-minded white women, have their way their colored sisters would be treated with the courtesy and consideration to which their culture, talent, character and ability entitle them. If there be, as is alleged, any disposition upon the part of other colored Greek letter sororities to outlaw the Alpha Kappa Alpha because of its willingness to admit to membership, active or honorary, worthy members of any group, it should be overruled as wholly unworthy of those whose education, culture and refinement should make them consistent exponents and exemplars of the highest democratic ideals. The "lex talonis", or law of retaliation, should have no countenance among people whose strength must always be found in standing for the highest ideals of truth, justice and righteousness. University and college trained people should always be found within this class. Farmer Crams Melons Into Boys for Robbery Council Bluffs, Ia.—To be compelled to gorge themselves on a truckload of melons which they had stolen from a field was the novel form of punishment for nine young men caught by Walter J. Miller, melon grower. Miller surged the youths and advanced on them with a revolver, forcing them to drive the truck to his house. He then locked them in a room, and holding them in terror forced them to eat melons that his wife passed through a window. At the end of the melon-eating contest the robbers were all rolling on the floor in agony while three melons only remained in the truck. FOR RENT—Furnished rooms fo light housekeeping.

OMAHA TORS OF ce Anthracite mi-Anthrocite ty Lump PLAN TO CUT CORN ACREAGE Agreement Made by Farmers to Reduce Supply Because of Low Prices. LAST YEAR'S CROP IS UNSOLD One Nebraska Farmer Shipped Carload of Corn to Montana, Paid Freight Bill of $416.58 and Collected $416.52. The proposal to curtail corn acreage in the West in 1922 is likely to affect the price of food before the end of the year. The entire country is heavily interested because if successful, it means an increase in the cost of corn and meat, with a resultant and sympathetic increase in the price of wheat and bread. Nebraska is not the only state in which the movement is gaining ground. Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, South Dakota and all the states of the great "Bread Basket" are moving in the same direction. Signs are plentiful throughout the Middle West that far less corn than usual will be planted unless there is an immediate and considerable increase in the price of that cereal. Most farmers recognize that the price of corn is not due to any combination of capital or a "conspiracy," but is governed solely because of the law of supply and demand and they are preparing to cut the supply. Farmer Is Stung. Nebraska farmers are getting about 17 cents for their corn. Farmers in states closer to markets are getting a cent or two more. Two weeks ago a farmer near Broken Bow. Neb., shipped a carload of corn to Billings, Mont. The freight was $146.58. The selling price in Billings was $141.52. The farmer paid the difference, six cents. He had provided the land and seed, planted and worked the corn, gathered and shucked it, hauled it to the railroad station and then paid out six cents for all his trouble. All over the corn belt the farmers are having similar experiences. The executive committee of the Illinois Agricultural association has recommended to the Illinois farmers that they cut the acreage they will plant in corn for 1922. Illinois is the second largest corn producing state in the country. A special committee from the state farm bureau federations of Iowa, Indiana, Kansas and Missouri has advised similar action. Iowa is the heaviest corn producing state in America. Missouri, also, is close to the top. Indiana is not far away. The Kansas corn crop is second only to the Kansas wheat crop. Thousands of farmers in the corn belt states still have on hand the corn they raised in 1921. They have refused to sell at the low prices. Recent action of the War Finance corporation is permitting them to hold on to the corn already in their bins. These farmers, in thousands of cases, are preparing not to produce crops in 1922, but to hold their present grain for the increase in price which must inevitably follow if the production is cut. Will Reduce Acreage. One big land company has 5,000 acres of land at Herman, Neb. Ordinarily, this company plants 2,000 acres to corn every year. Here is what one of the owners of the company, as well as owner of the Omaha Bee and one of the most prominent business men in this state has to say: "There is no doubt that if corn is not up to the cost of production in the coming year, in a systematic or an individual way farmers will decide not to plant it. On our 5,000-acre farm, not an acre of corn will be planted unless the price goes up to meet the cost of raising a crop. We have notified the manager to summer fallow the 2,000 acres of corn land if prices are not up to cost. It is better that the land should rest than that it be worn out growing a crop that does not pay out. "The surest way to prevent the price of corn from being unduly depressed, is to reduce the acreage. If the farmers can get more by not farming than they can get by farming, the choice is easy." The Illinois Agricultural association has issued a statement to the effect that by cutting production farmers will be doing only what manufacturers in all other lines do—shaping the supply to meet the demand. That is the answer Middle Western farmers are preparing to give to the question as to what is to be done to save agriculture. Long Time a Notary.

In orderly Holland, where everything happens by rule, the different classes of society choose different days of the week on which to be married. For some unknown reason Monday is society's day and marriage fees for that day amount to a sum approximate to $24. On Saturdays the charge is $2, or nothing at all if the couple do not wish a separate ceremony, and are willing to join a group of 20 couples. At these group marriages, the clerk reads the service once, all the couples making the responses in chorus. Did It Seem That Long?

Propared by the National Groerashie fo ‘tety, Washington. D. <2) Cuba, which immediately following the World war cilifbed to heights of Prosperity seldom attained by any other small country, bas pnssed now Into the valley of hited times; and the Teason in both eases was the same— sugar. Por though the Island's annual tobneco harvest is very valuable and though It has many other potential if undeveloped, resources, it is hardly overenmphasizing the Importance of sugar production to say that Cuba is f& one-crop country, When European and Eastern sugar was unobtainable prices soared skyward and Cuba not only. casiied in heavily on her usual production but feverishly Increased her cafe acreage and sugar mills, Now that siigar from the eastern hemis- phere {s reaching the world markets while Europe has ittle buying power, sugar prices have fallen to low levels fand Cuba is finding her war-inereased crop a drug on the market. Financial gloom has followed upon the heels of ‘a most heetle prosperity, “as the night, the day.” Sugar-eane Is grown by three classes of planters {n Cuba, Perhaps. the major part of the crop is grown by share farmers, or “colonos.” as they are called. ‘The owners of the sugar millis furnish them with a given num der of acres of land to plant and gtve them an agreed share of the sugar they produce. ‘They Made Money Rapidly. ‘The next class 18 composed of the Innd-owning farmers, who grow thelr own cane and have It ground on shares, after the fashion of the rural grist mill, The remainder of the cane fe grown by the owners of the mills themselves. At some centrals the “udministration” cape. as that grown under “central” manayement 16 known, Amounts to only 4 per cent of the total; af others It amounts to 90 per cent Even the share farmer, at pre-war prices, made mones. According to Cuba Before the World,” the official handbook of the republic at the Pan- ama-Pacitle exposition, when sugar was selling at 2.62 cents a pound, his share of the sugar jirought him, on the basis of twelve sucks to the aere, return of from $46 to $51. per acre. When one remembers that the selling price of sugar In 192) was from four to six times as high ox before the war, the size of the per-nere Income at the high tide of prices Is apparent. Boom in Sugar Lands, ‘A great deal of the eune land pro- duces much more sugar to the acre than. the modest twelve bags that formed the basis of the calculations ited from “Cuba Be‘ore the World.” According to Hyures furnished by the Cuban department of agriculture, much land produces 22 bogs to the acre. ‘This, at 15 cents a pound, brings a gross raturn of more than $1,000 an acre, ‘These conditions brought about an unprecedented boom tn sugar lands. One sugar estate, which was bought about 1917 for $3,000 000, sold In Jan. wary 1020 for $9,010,000. Another which was valued at about $9,000,000 a few years before, changed hands at $15,000,060. Numerous new “eenirals” were built, all capitalized on the basis of enrn- Ings during the early months of 1929. Thousands of Amerloun capitalists {n- vested in these flourishing enterprises, ‘How Cuba's receipts from sugar ex- panded Is shown by the fact that the 1915 crop brought n total return of ess than $20,000,000, while two-thirds of the 1920 crop (ose-third remains ‘unsold) brought $401,000.00. Production Cheaper There, Cuba has the wivantage of every country in producing sugar cheaply Most countries have to plant every two years and some of them every season, but the average in Cuba ts once In from 7 to 12 yeurs. In most parts of the Island the harvesting season Is six months long trom December to June; but in fame sections the. harvest lasts from “France took up arms only in self- defense, endeavoring at the same time to maintain Justice and liberty for the world,” sald M. Loucheur, “For nearly.five years her richest provinces have endured continual martyrdom, And yet by her own means the ruins fare reviving, houses arise from the ground, fields are covered with promis Ing crops. ‘The populations of the devastated areas believe that they can rely on the spirit of solidarity of all those who have measured the magni- tude of thelr sacrifice and under- stood their unquestionable right to the fullest reparations.” the first of December to the first of- October, The fells are so planted in the first place that each month of the grinding season produces its own erop of mature cane, Here 8a group of fields where the new crop has just sprouied; over yonder another group where the cane Is half grown; and fon farther Is a group where harvest: ing operations are in full swing. How the Crop Is Harvested, In harvesting, the cane-cutters first strip the blades from the stalk; then they cut off the upper part of the latter, which Is worthless exeept for replanting, since what Julee it con- tains possesses very little sugar, One of the strange things about sugarcane ix that the say of the growing plant has iitle sugar, while In the mature stalk the Jutce I rich in sucrose. ‘The action of the sun’s rays seems to transform gluense! into sucrose—tt transformation that cannot be accom- plished by human means. If man knew how to do that, every cornfleld would be a sngar field. ‘he main body of the stalk is cut down and londed into the ox-carts, In these it Is hauled to the fleld sta- tion and placed in the waiting cars. Fach car contains about twenty tons and each train Is made up of thirty cars, ‘This makes 600 tons of cane to the traintoad, and eight to ten trainloads a day are required to keep one of the bigger centrals In opera- thon for 24 hours, ‘The big United Fruit central at Preston requires the crop from 250 sucres every day to keep It busy, Imagine a field three- fifths of a mile square being harvest- ed between sunup and sundown to keep one central going! At the mills the cars of cane are dumped on an endless belt which ear ries It to the ernshing rolls. Each set of rolls the cane passes through presses it harder than the one before, ‘The Inst set may exert a pressure of million pounds, and when the “Hagasee,” as the erushed cane 18 called, Issues from them it {s almost fas dry as tinder, It Is carried by con- veyors to the firechoxes of the bollers, where ft Is used as fuel in generating the steam that drives the big mills and bolls the cane juice. ‘The stream of cmished cane flows through the Inst set of rolls at a speed of seven eae ne | aa After the juice is freed of sediment it 1s pumped In the evaporators, where about half of the water is boiled out of tt ‘The next step in the making of sugar ts to draw the thick Juice Into the vacuum pans. Here It comes into contact with hot steam coils and botts at a very low temperature because of the absence of atmospherte pressure, ‘As the boiling proceeds, the sugar ‘crystallizes Into small grains ‘Phe sugar and the adhering strup fare finally removed to a centrifugal machine that acts somewhat on the principle of a cream separator. Plnced inside a perforated basket ‘and whirled around at from 1,000 to 4,400 revolutions a minute, all of the sirup is forced ont through the per forations, while the crystallized sugar remains behind, ‘This sirup ts dolled again and the process Is repeated nntil all the avall- able sweetnens has been extracted. ‘The remaining Mquor is the “black- strap” molasses of commerce. ‘A ton of sugarcane sields four and one-balt gallons of blackstrap mo- Insses, and one gets a good Impres- ‘sion of the immensity of the industry “when, on a single day's rail Journey, he meets a dozen solid trains of some forty big tank cars each, every car full to the dome with blackstrap, After sugar hns come from the contrifugals tt goes to the bagging room where ft 1s put into bags that hold 225 pounds ench, ‘These are hauled in trainloads to the docks and shipped to the United States, where the big refinertes remove the Impur- ities and transforn the sugar from dirty yellow to In/naculate white, For Rent—Furnished rooms strictly modern, st¢am heat, On car line.

Belleved That Much of Steel and Metals Lost Through Operations of German Submarines May Be Recovered. London.—Fishing with submarine magnets for allied ships which strew the bottom of the North sea and the English channel may be attempted on a large scale in the near future if an invention recently placed at the disposal of the British admiralty proves to be practicable in deep-sea salvage operations. It is believed that the device may recover much of the loss in steel and metals caused by the submarines. It is also probable that it may, to some extent, replace the deep-sea diver. WILL Lift 16 Tons. The "submarine electro-magnet" is octagonal in shape, three feet in width between the opposite sides, two and a half inches in depth, weighs seven hundredweight, and is strong enough to lift 16 tons of metal. In salvage work three magnets will be employed simultaneously, in order to get a good hold on the larger sections of armor plate. Gigantic searchlights will first be turned on the wreck, and after the vessel has been blown to pieces by explosives the magnets will go down to search for anchors, chain cables and pieces of metal. The power will be sufficient to raise all fragments of metal, even though they be encased in wood. The mechanical diver's possibilities were demonstrated recently at an exhibition at the Albert docks, Silvertown, attended by representatives of the British admiralty, the Port of London authority and the salvage and shipbuilding companies. Into 36 feet of water were thrown several steel girders weighing two tons, some gas cylinders, castings, a section of railway switch and other metallic objects. Brought Up Girders. Swing by a crane, the magnet dived and, to the amazement of the witnesses, came up with the steel girders glued to its under side. The operation was repeated until the last piece of metal had been raised. At one stage of the demonstration there was lively competition between a human diver and the diving magnet. The steel railway swing, owing to its peculiar 'shape', could not be located until a diver had gone down and placed the magnet in contact with the rails. "The magnet is not intended to supplant divers," said Mr. Neale, head of the Neale Magnet Construction company, in charge of the development of the invention. "It will be of value chiefly in cases of wrecks in deep water, or silted up, where divers cannot go. "It will also be used for loading and unloading vessels, discharging metallic ores, lifting machinery and loading steel sections from rolling mills. A current of 16 amperes, at a pressure of 220 volts, supplies the power." COAL Moderately Priced FOR CASH Due to the mild weather we offer the following HIGH- GRADE Coals at these low prices.

ALONG the MEXICAN BORDER THE RIVER Primitive Water Carts on Mexican Border. (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) No region in all North America is more frequently mentioned or more widely misunderstood, perhaps, as regards places, routes, distances, and the customs of the people, than the Mexican border. The name itself brings to mind a blending of modern Americanism and the romance of the old frontiers. It hints at turmoll and intrigue, at wild night rides by cavalry patrols, at gun-runners and snugglers. It suggests, too, brown-faced, snappy-yed senatoris in red skirts and mantillas, peddling tongue-blistering tames and mild dulces; of Mexican women washing clothes, babies and dishes in irregular ditches; of burrows, hens and pigs foraging about the doorways of flat-topped, squaty adobe huts. eastern states.

Despite it about it and its dust-storms, its cliarly good, owing to the largest import In many ways the social cleavage of this border is sharp and startling. It cuts us off abruptly from another people, showing an odd, interesting cross-section of diverse civilizations. Nor are all the people along this line either Yankees or Mexicans. Thousands of Chinese are settled there on the Mexican side; and beside them are Turks and Japanese, and 20 Indian tribes speaking 20 of the babel of tongues heard in Mexico. Thousands of settlers migrate to this borderland each year, losing themselves in the vast, hazy-blue stretches of its open country; but they are Americans all, mostly from the Middle West and the South. The hordes of Finns, Slavs and Neapolitans that pour into our Atlantic ports never get this far; they stop in the manufacturing centers of the East. In Texas and California, of course, native-born generations are found; in the newer states of Arizona and New Mexico most of the residents (barring children) have come from other states. Rough and Difficult Trip. Adventurous, colorful and full of contrasts as it is, the 1,800-mile trip along this crooked historic line is rough and difficult and has been made by few people. Some of the wildest and least known regions of our country are piled up against this border. Ask any doughboy, of the many, many thousands who have done a "hitch" on the Mexican border, what he thinks, for instance, of Ajo or the Yuma sector. From the gulf up to El Paso, along the Texas frontier, the Rio Grande forms the boundary between the United States and Mexico; thence to the Pacific the line is marked by stone or iron monuments (save a short break at the Colorado), so set that one is supposed to be visible from the other. The Rio Grande part of this border has caused both Uncle Sam and Mexico much work and mental anguish. During bad floods the line as formed by the river squirms around in so astonishing and lively a manner that what is Mexican soil one day may be in Texas the next, and vice versa. Then, too, there is the ever-recurring problem of dividing the waters of the river for irrigating purposes. Around such places as Laredo, Tex., this situation affords many an acrimonious international argument. No spot on the whole border affords more of impressive grandeur than the region about the mouth of the Pecos. This yellow, turbulent stream roars into the Rio Grande near the town of Del Río, foaming along the bottom of a steep-walled canyon wormed hundreds of feet deep in the solid rock.

It is an Arab khan, in ruins now, but in its time an exact replica of the rectangular caravansaries built along such caravan trails as that from Bagdad to Teheran. This khan was built back in 1856, when Jefferson Davis was secretary of war and the famous experiment was made with camels for army transport use between Texas and California. As you follow the border west, oaks, pines and underbrush decrease, aridity increases, and cacti lift their thorny heads. Cattle, goats and sheep are pastured in large numbers; but, except for irrigated areas along the river, the country is thinly settled and undeveloped. Border counties like Brewster, Presidio and El Paso are of amazing area—larger than some of our small FOR RENT—Furnished rooms in a first class rooming house, steam heat, bath, electric lights, on Dodge and Twenty-fourth street care line. rs.

El Paso ("The Pass"), great border mart of west Texas, is set on the edge of a rich stretch of the Rio Grande valley. It stands at the point of intersection between two old highways, the first channels of traffic established by white men in America. It is the only large city from "San Antone" to Los Angeles, a ride of 1,500 dry, dusty miles. It is well served by both American and Mexican railways, and its merchants buy and sell goods for hundreds of miles below the Rio Grande. Despite the arid country about it and its occasional blinding dust-storms, its climate is exceptionally good, owing to high elevation. The largest irrigation reservoir anywhere is the great Elephant Butte dam, which stores more water than the world-famous Assuan dam on the Nile. This big dam, built in the Rio Grande above El Paso, at a point in New Mexico, holds water enough, we are told, "to cover Massachusetts to a depth of six inches." Juarez, El Paso's sister city across the Rio Grande, like most Mexican border towns, is known chiefly because of its pitched battles and its bizarre methods of entertaining sporty American visitors. A wooden bridge spans the river here, and El Paso street cars loop over into Mexico—when the looping is safe. Across an Arid Wilderness. From the point at Monument No. 1 where the boundary line crawls out of the Rio Grande (at the southeastern corner of New Mexico), it strikes west into a wilderness of singularly dry and empty aspect. For 40 miles along this march the traveler must carry his own water. Near Columbus a few small trees appear. To the west lie the rough, hostile foothills of the Dog mountains; near here, in the San Luis range, the line reaches a point 6,600 feet above the sea, marking the continental divide. Through San Luis pass runs the old emigrant trail. Slightly west; of the one hundred and eighth meridian the line runs at right angles and runs south for a few miles, thence west again. In the San Bernardino valley the line strikes the first running water after quitting the Rio Grande—182 miles to the east. In the whole 700-mile stretch from the Rio Grande to the Pacific this line crosses only five permanent running streams, and the average rainfall throughout its length is only eight inches. Save the hamlets of Columbus and Hachita, the New Mexico section of the border is almost uninhabited. Hurdling this line in pursuit of Geronimo and his Apaches was for years a favorite outdoor army sport in these parts; but nowadays most ambitious residents are mining copper, roping and branding cattle or fussing with irrigation ditches. Not long ago coyotes were chasing horned toads over an empty desert where Douglas, Ariz, now stands, with libraries, country clubs, theaters, public baths, street cars and a hotel that might have been lifted bodily out of Cleveland or Kansas City. Just over the line from Douglas lies drab, dusty Agus Priet, with its sleepy peons and sad-eyed burros. Bistee in a Canyon. West of Douglas, eight miles north of Naco, on the line, and quite hidden in the barren, Mule mountains lies the quaint upside-down, busy, hustling Bisbee. Its main streets run up a deep canyon, many of its houses clinging like pigeon cotes to steep hillsides. Of our whole border, the California section is perhaps best known to Americans because of denser population, excellent motor trails and proximity to cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, El Centro and the below-the-sea border town of Calexico, opposite Mexicall. The incredibly fertile Imperial valley of California sweeps north from Calexico to the Salton sea, more than 200 feet below the sea level. From Calexico the line runs west past Signal mountain, up the Jacumba pass over the Lagunas, past the historic border town of Campo, through the towns of Tecate and Tia Juana (famous for races and gambling casinos), and thence to the Pacific, a few miles below San Diego.

Mounted Police Start on Four-Month Trail in Far North to Investigate—Miss Yearly Migration of Caribou. Winnipeg.—A member of the Canadian mounted police and a guide left Edmonton, Alberta, to investigate reports that Indian tribes north of Lake Athabasca, in northern Canada, had resorted to cannibalism, their food having failed them. These Indians have heretofore been living largely on caribou, but last summer they missed the yearly migration of caribou from the shores of the Arctic and their hunt was a failure. Reports indicate that they are starving. The trip is a long and dangerous one, across barren lands and through a wilderness for a distance of 400 miles. No food can be obtained there and little wood for camp fires is obtainable, there being in the region only isolated sticks of stunted timber. The ground is almost entirely rock ridges, interspersed with swamp land and bogs. Another party of Canadian mounted policemen also is leaving Fort Fitzgerald. Indians from all sections of northern Canada converge at a central meeting point in the heart of the howling wilderness of this north country, where they remain for months. It is at this central point that the police hope to find them, and if cannibals are found among them, to bring these human flesh eaters to civilization. Long trains of Indians and dogs will accompany the police, carrying supplies for four months.

Oakland, Cal.—The University of California announces earthquakes may be predicted with the same precision as weather forecasts as a result of the discovery by A. G. Lawson, professor of geology, that earth movements are the antecedent as well as the consequence of earthquakes. Observation of the earth's "creep," according to the announcement, will enable scientists to determine with accuracy the forthcoming earthquakes. It is well known, according to the announcement, that on occasion of the April (1906) earthquake in California there was a relative displacement of the earth's surface stratum on the two sides of the San Andreas fault line amounting in the Bolinas (Cal.) region to as much as 24 feet. DIGS UP EGYPTIAN TREASURES French Archeologist Unearthy Alabaster Vase of Fifth Dynasty in Syria. Paris.—General Gouraud has informed the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres of an important discovery made by M. Moutet, who was sent by the academy to carry on archeological work in Syria. In excavating on the site of the ancient city of Bybios what appears to be the entire treasure of an early Egyptian temple was laid bare only three feet below the surface of the ground. Among the objects discovered was an alabaster vase, intact, mentioning Pharaoh Housas of the fifth dynasty, who reigned 2,500 years before the Christian era. The discovery is of special interest, as it proves that the Egyptian penetration into Syria took place at a very early date.
