J COLOR Wonderful Advertising Campaign of California Fruit Growers Exchange, Giant of the Coopera tives of Whole World, lias Cumulative Value in Past Advertising That Is Immense LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27. California's citrus industry, during the 1925-20 season, marketed its largest crop with greatest returns ever made to the state, and did this in the face of an abnormally large production of cracticallv all other5 competing fruits, again demonstrating the advantageous po sition oi amornia growers due to their many years of ag gressive sales and advertising campaigns, according to the annual report of General Manager Dezell of the California Fruit Growers exchange, released PAINTER OF IIS Coles Phillips Finds Squab Raising Highly Paid-Sideline Hobby Coles painter Phillips, the portrait whose magazine rovpr girls are known throughout Am erica, has a hobby and a side-hne that is highly lucrative, says an article In December Success mag azine. Phillips, besides painting pret ty girls, raises squabs. This year he raised 30.000 of them for the msrue; -ana each one brought him in ninety cents to 11.25. Several years ago, the artist's health broke down. Unable to con tinue his studio work, and with a wife and four children dependent on him, he sought some means whereby he could assure support for bis family and at. the same time regain his health. He hit upon the idea of starting a squab farm, recognizing the big demand for this delicacy in the New York cafe market. His place is located just out of the metropo lis at Xew Rochelle, ew York. Phillips, is one artist who has nroved his anilities, as a sound and practical feusins--ian7-il!3arm-, stocked with thousands of ' pure bred pigeons, is ' operated with" most rigid and business-like pre cision, says the Success magazine article. Not only has he installed practical methods of breeding and handling, the birds,' but he has made a study of scientific propa gation and conducts continuous experiments in cross and inter breeding. By constant effort he has succeeded in producing squabs for the market weighing mbre than a pound close to the weight of the average chicken broiler. The Phillips squab farm in cludes only four acres of land. OUR THANKSGIVING LIKE THE HUMS' Even Small Papooses Taste Turkey on Festive Day Among Blackfeet ' GLACIER PARK. Mont. (Spe cial.) Pa poo, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fish Wolf Robe of the Gla cier National Park reservation had his first Thanksgiving dinner a few days ahead of the rest of the American neoole. His arrival seven days in advance of the Fes tive Day made this necessary. The little fellow dined in' the original old fashioned way. All the older Indian children on the reservation partook of turkey either wild or tame. Even the two and three- month-old papooses are given a taste of turkey soup on Thanks giving day if there Is any in the household, and there generally is because the Blackfoot Indians to day ore farmers of considerable advancement.

COFFEE DRINKING INCREASES While tea still is the national drink of Japan, coffe drinklxfg'ls on the increase; "Last year' the' im portation of coffee amounted to BECOMES FANCIER I more than 1,500,000 pounds.. Citrus Fruits today. Based on exchange returns, the total California citrus crop amounted to $98,023,031 f. o. b. California, with a delivered carload value of 5135, 218, 41, the difference of $37, 195,410 repre senting freight and refrigeration charges. The exchange alone did a 'delivered business of $97,662, 552, with returns to exchange shippers amounting to the record sum of $70,744,726. Total ship ments for the state equalled 63, 640 carloads. Mr. Dezell calls attention to the unusual combination of maximum production and maximum returns to growers made by this coopera tive organization during the past year in which the agricultural situation has been one of the ser ious national problems. Exchange shipments for the sea son totaled 46,593 actual carloads. 34,083 cars of oranges and grape fruit and 12,510 cars of lemons This is an increase in exchange volume of approximately 4,000,- 000 1 boxes over last year, and about 1, 000,H)0 boxes over the previous greatest year, 1923-21 This record year brings total re turns to exchange shippers for the past 23 years to the tremendous sum of $737,000,000. 1-iow Marketing Cost ' Exchange marketing costs in cluding advertising amounted to only 2.4 8 per cent of the delivered carload value, which is materially lower than the marketing charges alone of any other agency, stated Mr. Dezell. It Is notable that the California lencia .carop- exceeded r that of Navels by several thousand car loads. The increased"' consump tion of orange juice greatly help ed the" Valencia market. Sunklst fruit juice extractors numbering 33,600 have now been sold at cost by the 'exchange, whfch is re sponsible for developing the large and increasing fresh fruit drinks business. Marketing over 90 per cent of California lemons, the exchange succeeded in a year of unfavorable weather conditions, in distributing the greatest volume of lemons ever sold, and at a reasonable re turn to the grower. Mr. Dezell states that the indi vidual marking of Soakist orang es, Jn effect with the coming sea son, will increase the effective ness of ; the national' advertising campaign and insure the consum er against substitution. Dae to Advertising The tremendous volume of sales maintained at satisfactory prices during the ,past year in both California oranges and lem ons in the face of the record pro duction of competitive fruits was only possible because of the years of. consumer advertising and mar ket development carried on by the exchange for the benefit of all citrus growers. "With the large production in sight," said Mr. Dezell, "maximum efforts should be made to increase consumption and' perfect distribu tion.' , The .California Fruit Grow ers exchange is carrying this bur den Tor all, and a greater support by growers would enable us to in crease our efforts without higher cost to the individual producer." rMore Than Trebled Export business to European (Continued en pif 8.) it Sports Mad Idiots" Says Mary Browne, Tennis Pro "A sport hysteria is gripping America to the exclusion of other and greater matters.

INSECTS POSSESS OWD RADIO SYSTEM Produce LigM With Little Heat, Have Remarkable Cooling Methods No human government has ever approached in perfection the econ omy, patriotism, self-sacrifice, de votion and perpetuity to be found In the government of the honey bees. Biologists have sought in vain for a means of sex determination in our race, writes F. E. Brooks In Nature Magazine of Washing ton. Bees, wasps, and some other insects produce males, females and neuters at will, in accordance with the needs of the colony. We have learned to send wire less messages, but the insects have long been able to signal one an other relatively long distances by some system which we do not un derstand. One of our problems In illumin ation is to create a fire which glows, but which does not burn. So far. in our best lights, much of the energy of combustion is wasted in the form of heat. Light producing insects, such as the fireflies, however, are able to kin dle in their bodies a little blaze which is more than 99 light and less than 1 heat. Long before man learned to warm his habitation with fire, the bees had discovered a muscular exercise whereby in very cold weather they could raise the tem perature of their homes as much as 35 degrees Centigrade. We cool our rooms with electric fans, but before electricity 'was harnessed the bumblebees had learned to station individuals along their passageways to ere ate cool air currents by constantly fluttering their wings. The gardener might learn points in his art from the ambrosia bee tie, which plants beds of succulent fungus in Its burrows to furnish nourishment for its young. , The soldier might learn the possibilities of poisonous-gases in warfare from the bombardier bee tle, which hurls discomfiting charges of an acrid fas at its ene mies. The farmer could discover that good seeds are produced when the flowers are pollinated by watching the operations of the pronuba moth on Yucca blossoms. This insect, with amazing wis dom, Nature Magazine points out, gathers pollen from the anthers of the flowers and applies it dir ectly to the' stigma, with no other object, so far as we know, than to insure the formation of plump seeds upon which the caterpillars of the moth depend for food. The surgeon might get hints on the use of anaethettcs from the solitary wasp, which thrusts its drug-laden sting into its spider or Insect victim and by that means stupefies and preserves it as food for future baby wasps. Insects are the original paper. silk and honey makers. We have, perhaps, beaten them in the paper business, but our imitation silk la inferior to the genuine and our synthetic honey an abomination.

This was the information given by the Prior to a French journal ist who investigated the truth of a statement that the monks never lived beyond thirty and the dogs five. "I have been at the Abbey for more than 30 years." said the Prior, a patriarch with a long white flowing beard, "and you may be sure I did not enter It as a nursing baby." Men whose hearts were sound ran no rislc, he added, but the dogs were less fortunate. . "The poor animals suffer ter ribly frOm the snow which little by little makes them blind. There are only nine at present. Each has a fine kennel, with good straw and excellent , food. They are kept in the darkness of the cellars so that their' eyes may aav some relief: But the snow blindness gets them all."

Recent developments have con vinced him that this tendency is not as strong as it once was, and that builders are planning an in creasingly large number of struc tures for erection in the winter. "Construction planned ahead to better employment conditions is making rapid progress", he said, "and is particularly evidenced by more general winter building."

McCollum, now of Johns Hopkins university, "of vit amins, the- food elements which have since revolutionized all sys tems of nutrition. The white mice were to show farmers -what might be accomplished with live stock by correct vitamin feeding. That new knowledge, has now been applied to the diet of human beings. Dr. McCollum's theory originat ed, like many other such great discoveries, through what might almost be termed an accident. "I was a young fellow, just out of Yale and was, in 1907, working at the Farm Experiment Station at Madison, Wis.," he said. "1 was trying to determine relative nutrition values of the then known food elements (proteins. carbohydrates, fats, minerals and oil).

' Combinations of two. three, or all these elements in pure form also failed Dr. McCollum ' then suspected there -must be in food some fac tor other than those known. So he adopted different tactics and placed the rodents on food-ele ment diets. "tJnder this new diet regime some of the experimental animals flourished and some did not. It was then concluded that no animal could be healthy unless certain food were included; principally milk and the leaves of vegetables, since these foods seemed to con tain most of the vital elements.
