We hang our heads in shame, We blush to the cars. Wo despair of our countrymen. We feel like putting the Stars and Stripes at half mast. For our fellow Americans, who are traveling nj England this year, are not up to the standard Do they spend money lavishly? They do not! Do they swill champagne by, the bucket? They do not! Do they eat their heads off? They do notl Do they make jackasses of them selves by over-tipping? They do not! Are they careful with their money? Yep! Do they want to find out what a thing is going to cost before they order it? You bethcha! All wrontf, men and brethren, all wrong, You are giving an evil reputa tion to America. You are soiling the fair name of Ameri cans. List to the plaint of one of the London hotel managers : 'I have found that many of our American visitors are care ful with their money this year. They want to go out and have a good time, but they don't want to spend a whole I6t of money on it. Only the other evening a party of four came in for supper and I had to give a detailed list of what it would cost them before the would order. Then again Americans order a comparatively cheap wine or even lemonade for din ' ner. We do not call that spending money." r, ' ' -O '- OUR CHANGING DIET PICKINS , Railway shipments of the 16 principal fruits and vege tables, highly perishable foods, between 1924 and 1926 aver aged annually 848,099 carloads, an increase of 77 per cent during the last ten years. That period represented a 440 per cent increase in the quantity of lettuce consumed, and -a 216 per cent increase for grapes. In 1926 the 4400 cold storage warehouses listed by the Department of Agreculture had a combinod capacity of 585,000,000 cubic fuel and they handled 1,000,000 carloads of refrigerator freight. Since 1910 ice . . (cream consumption has increased from 1.04 gallons per ca pita to 2.80, aggregating an annual total pf 42,200,000,000 gallons. To meet this new bill of fare, use of ice in the United 'SUites has more than doubled in the last ten years, the con . sumption per capita in 1917 having been 480 pounds, and in ' 1926, 1040 pounds. The American menu appears to be chang ing more and more to fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy pro ' tyicts, rather than the heayy starchy foods which formerly made up the. bill of fare. The change of much of the national population from physical to mental labor, from physical to nervous activity, is credited with bringing this about. ' IT'S THE LAW! Peggy O'Ncil.'a well-known American actress, was tried in her absence the other day in a London court, found guilty, after pleading guilty through her attorney, and fined ten dollars. She had committed the heinous offense of failing to comply with some of the stipulations of-the aliens net. The guilty wretch had actually moved from a swell address in Gfosvcnor street to an equally swell address in . Cadogan Gardens and she had not notified the police! You see, right after the war, with the scare about spies and secret agents land trouble-makers generally still strong, the British parlia ment enacted a law which compels all aliens living in Britain more than thirty days to report to the police and receive an identity card. Every time an alien changes his address, he is supposed to notify the police, The idea is that thus the po lice will be able to nab you when they want you. Every night Peggy O'Neil's name is blazoned in big electric lights over a prominent London theater. And even a second-hand sleuth would thus know where to go to find her. But, by heck ! She had failed formally to register. An example must be made of her. It has been. Also of'the law. : , o : HEltE'S A QUEER QUI11K During the discussion of certain border problems the other day at Washington by the officials who administer our prohibition law and members of the Royal Canadian Customs Commission, the quaint and very interesting fact popped out that the flow of Canadian 'liquor to this country is not nearly as big an issue as the flow of American liquor into Canada. Here we have the paradox or vicious circle or whatever you call it on a dry country shipping liquor into one for the most part wet. Wo complain that laxity of Canadian enforcement is playing Iihvoc with our dry law. The Canadian reiterate that our 99.44 per cent poisonous industrial alcohol is simply killing them off. The Canadians regard deaths from poison liquor as distinctly .bad business. If. we must have poison liquor, let's keep it at home. THE WILL TO BE DOING ' ''" A ticket agent in an Ohio city had to leave his job the other day because the railroad's pension requirement forces retirement at the age of 70. "1 don't want to leave," he told a reporter. "I've .been on this job 40 years, and it's part of mo." Edward F. Hatch, Wall Street broker, sold his seat on the Stock Exchange for $194,000, intending to retire. Less than three months later h had bought the seat back for . $218,000. "It's hard to leave the harness after all the .yoars," he said. "I've just got to have something to do." It is interest and enthusiasm in their life work, no matter what it is, that keeps men young.

If successlul. we think 'it would be of decided bene fit to the hog producer. It is brief ly tills, to I'cduco tho oil content of some of your varieties of beans by breeding to a poiut where they- could be fed to hogs with safety from the" standpoint of soft pork. We would have to Iteep tn mind the- desira bility of high protein content and palatabillty. -Frankly , we. do not know whether reducing oil content would affect palatabillty. Wereal ize'the soybean, miller wants a beau1 of high oil content, the op posite of what we do. If, however, a beau of low oil content can be produced by breeding, wiiy can not cno of tho reverse be grown. It is a long-time job, but we are work ing for the future. If the farmer can grow his own . protein feeds and avoid soft-pork production, his profits will increase materially."
