IN TIME OF PEACE.
Insteao of buying food from the
United States and South America,
Britons are urged by Sir Charles
G. Wade, agent general for New
South Wales, to buy fooa from the
British Dominions.
“However great may be the dis
arming power of the League of Na
tions, i cannot close my eyes to the
possibility of another world-wide
conflagration and the risk of our
supplies being cut off,’’ said Sir
Charles. “In our own interests and
for the purpose of natioal defense
this country must be self-support
ing. What we cannot produce with
in this island must be imported, and
self-interest demands that we shall
insure a constant supply of raw
materials from our own kith and
kin. on whose co-operation we can
rely, rather than be at the mercy
of the changeable good will of a
foreign nation.
“Our export trade again is seri
ously menaced alike by enemy and
allies. Already the United States
and Japan have made heavy inroads
into British supremacy in the East.
Both of these nations are already
equipped and ready for keen compe
tition in commerce with the United
Kingdom, while this country is suf
fering from an epidemic of increas
ing cost and diminishing output.
“To recover or maintain British
markets a friendly field in the Do
minions will be a great help, and a
preferential tariff may stave off the
danger of undercutting by foreign
competitors."
PHONES IN ENGLAND.
Several London newspapers are
conducting a campaign to bring
about the separation of England's
telephone service from postoffice de
par :ment control. These papers
cite the highly efficient telephone
systems of the United States as an
example of what might be accom
plished in England.
In one year, one large American
telephone company installed more
’phones than have been added t >
London's system in forty years, one
of these papers declares.
A telephone is a prized posses
sion in what relatively few London
homes have them. A resident of
the British capital cannot have a
telephone simply by ordering it.
Lack of equipment and personnel
ha? made expansion of the city's
telephone service in arrears of re
quirements. A person holding a
telephone contract and intending to
leave the city usually advertises in
a newspaper the fact and invites
offers of premiums, as he has the
privilege of sub-letting his contract.
Contracts have been transferred for
premiums of from $200 to $500.
GERMANS USING FILMS.
The German government is plan
ning to provide educational moving
pictures for the schools. The theory
is that children of the cities never
have a chance to study zoology,
botany, meteorology, or geology. It
is believed they can be helped im
mensely by films on these subjects.
A big German film company has
arranged to prepare, under the su
perintendency of numerous educa
tors and scientists, a large numbe
of scientific films which can be in
serted in the curriculum of th
schools and intensify the interes
in the studies. The dullest subject
of study, such as the caterpillar, i
is planned to illustrate and mak<
vivid.
Similarly the films will be use
wherever possible in mathematics
physics, chemistry, and will, it 1
believed, supplant much expensivi
apparatus, time-stealing experiment
and trips of investigation and study
The difficulty seems to lie in thi
production of the films, but this i
thought to be solved.

tion room a picture which art critic

HYDROAIRPLANE RUNS
INTO FLOCK OF DUCKS;
IS FORCED TO DESCENI
SAN LUIS OPISPO—Striking ;
flock of ducks so thick that th.
impact broke the struts holding winj
sections of the machine together, ;
navy hydroairplane enroute fron
San Diego to San Francisco wa
forced to alight near here recently
Still in doubt as to whether it
. will'-be held that the constitutional
j“dry” amendment applies to the
i | Philippine Islands, local interests
1 ;are aligning: themselves to carry- the
(| fight into the legislature, which is
^committed to consider the question
| at its regular session.
^ | Dr. D. M. Gandier, well-known
j prohibition advocate from California.
); is now in Manila and is heading
| the forces of the Christian Service
.j League. an organization recently
■'formed here and pledged to a gen
. jeral program of civic betterment.
I The league claims to have secured
to date more than $12,000 to meet
. the expenses of its campaign.
Prominent among its officers are
_ Dean Bacobo of the University of
. the Philippines and Camilo Osias,
. assistant director of the bureau of
. I education.
, The president of the Philippine
j federation of labor is thus far the
I most prominent figure among the
1 forces of the “wets’*. He has an
. jnounced that he and the members
, jof the organizations forming the
.; federation will conduct a lobby
|against prohibition when the legis
. lature opens, their contention being
. I that the distilling industry in the
| rural districts will be killed and
j thousands of people thrown out of
; employment.
| If a compromise could be agreed
I to, whereby imported intoxicants
jwere barred, it would find hearty
support, but as a matter of fact the
^ medical profession is a unit in de
claring that the local products are
;much more injurious to health than
,are the imported.
In legal circles there is a growing
; belief that it will be held that the
|
(prohibition amendment applies here,
but the enforcement act. if the re
. i
j quest of the Philippine council of
i state is granted, will specifically
exclude the islands from its pro
visions. leaving the entire question
| in the hands of the Philippine leg
islature for decision.

; greatly increased the 1920 sugar
' crop. Tens of thousands of tons, it
1 is said, will be added to next year’s
