PAGE MlfTIIIgN Dry Ice Is Utilized For Peach CAR ROLLS DOWN MOUNTAINSIDE IN NOVEL TEST The OREGON STATESMAN, Salon, Oregon, Sunday Morning, March 9, 1930 ITALY EXTENDS ITS INFLUENCE Mussolini's Government is Reaching Southward at Present Time By ANDRUE BERDINO (Associated Press Staff Writer) ROME (AP) Great commer cial and political Importance at tache not only in Italy but in other countries to the Duke ot Puglta'a capture of the city of Brak, In Fezzan, south of Trip oli, and 450 miles from the North African coast. . 7 On the. surf ace it. means that Italy has taken OTtr the whole land of Fezzan, embracing 200,- 000 square miles. It means that a military operation begun in 1927 has been crowned with suc cess. But the press of Italy has been filled with details of the campaign because of the signifi cance that lies behind these facts. . It has been said that the foot steps of armies follow the foot steps of commerce, and this is true again with regard to Fezzan. To Italy Fezzan means a high road to the rich commerce of Central Africa. It lies between the French possessions of Alger ia and Tunis to the west, and British controlled Egypt to the east, acros the Libyan desert. Other French possessions are on the aonth. For generations the wealthy trade of Central Africa has been Reflected either to the right or to the left, to Egypt or to Alger la ana Tunis. In consequence, these countries have become rich, and the central section of North Africa, Libya, has remained poor The reaso nfor the stagnation of Libya, of which Fezzan is part, was the rule of the Turk under th eSultans. Turkey con quered Libyan in 1835. Before Turkish rule Libya was an ef fective go-oetween from Central Africa and Italy and Europe. This was true even of Roman times. Under Turkish rule It languished, Libya was ceded to Italy after the Turko-Itallan war of 1912. Two years later Italy started to make her Bway complete by con quering the natives. In 1914 her conquest of Fezzan was complete but the following year she enter ed the World War. She withdrew Jier troops from Africa to rush them to the Austrian frontier. The natives came back. Now, under Mussolini, the con quest is supposedly destined to be permanent. An extensive army Is maintained in Libya under con mand of the Duke of Puglia and Marshal Badoglio. And soon the trade routes will be opened to the Bouth. Italy will then bid for commerce with regions as far south as Lake Chad. If her trade route .scheme works out as she plans, Italian Libya may -become 3 rich as Algiers and Tunis or Egypt. In point of territory it is the. equal of most of her rivals. Politically the occupation of Fezzan is important because It tends to establish the southern boundary of the Italian Libya left somewhat indefinite by the treaty of 1912 and likely to conflict with French claims. Possession is nine-tenths of International law as well as private law. The pres ence of Italian troops on the in definite frontier will tend to make the border line definite. Fezzan, moreover, will be a linely stepping stone to further Italian acquisitions in Africa. It aly has bitterly complained since the Peace of 1919 that she was not given any North African col onies, though they had virtually been promised her. She would like to have more of North Af rica, or failing that, a strip of territory south from Fezzan on to the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic ocean. Here one finds Mussolini's Ideas pursuing once more, as they have done in so many in stances already, the path of the ancient Romans. The outposts of Libya still bear traces of the Ro man rule in -monuments of stone and bricy. Perhaps Mussolini will be able to give these monuments renewed significance by his cam paign to make Italy a first class colonial European power.

ViennaHeld Great Place -For Joiners VIENNA (AP) Vienna is a city of "Joiners." Clubs and soci eties to the number of 20,000 are registered with the police author ities. Thev range from clubs with less than 100 members to socie ties with more than 10,000. Altogether there are 1,800,000 members listed in these clubs and societies, so that every man, worn an and child of the city could be Included but for the fact that many people are members of sev eral organizations. The object of ths clubl are extremely varied from pure amusement to such serious mat ters as protection of trade inter ests, from lovers ot pea-soup with pigs' ears who meet weekly at a certain restaurant to vegetar ian societies, from savings clubs to holiday associations, from tee totalers to drinkers, from bache lors to spinsters and many oth ers. It does not need much initia tive to form a club here. One or two chance meetings between persons of similar Interests near ly always lead to an organization of some sort. ATLANTA (AP) 014 Mr. Farm Sarplns, who needs no in troduction on ths American scene, has spent his last season as star boarder with southeastern peach rowers. Ho is about to be froze noutl Th malignant old gent has caused ths growers much, con cern, but a project now under way is expected to eliminate any surplus and add 50 per cent to ths growers' income by giving ths housewife fresh peaches any time of the year. Experiments which followed ths annual disaster last summer revealed that peaches packed In "dry ice" can be kept fresh indef initely. A million dollars Is to be spent to build such packing plants . in the peach country. Georgia, chief peach state in the southeast, produced 20,000 carloads last year, marketed 17, 000 carloads at a loss and left 8, 000 carloads rotting on the ground. ' Over-production glutted the market and forced the pries be low cost. Such has been the sit uation, in general, for several years. Ths "polar peaches" are pack ed when ripe and are thus of a better quality, according to A. D. Jones, state market head.. They are peeled, sliced and put into quart or pint size paper cartons with a dash of syrup, then froz en. They are said to retain ripe peach color and flavor. The frozen peaches can be handled much as is ice cream, and it is intended they shall be retail ed in the same manner by the corner drug store or grocery. Heretofore the market has been limited to points eached within 10 days, allowing time for handl ing and selling. Now, with ability to keep the fruit fresh indefinite ly, a world market is sought and plans are afoot to create a Euro pean demand. Added farm income for Geor gia will be around $5,000,000 ac cording to W. R. Tucker, agri cultural expert active In the move ment. Georgia produces 10,000, 000 bushels annually. North Car olina nearly 3,000,000 bushels, South Carolina 1,363,000, Alaba ma 1,350,000 and Tennessee 2, 190,00 bushels. jfou can buy a seasoned StudebakekCight as low as II95 AT TMI FACTO V.

The Osaka - Shanghai route would involve the longest over seas hop of any regular line in the world, a sifchour ..UKmile jump from Fuknoka ia'TCgrgphu. Inception of the service has been delayed because the nation alist regime in Nanking is try ing to shake oft all foreign con trol of its communications and has refused to assent to this link between China and Japan.' So meanwhile the Japan Air. Trans port company, which the govern ment lias entrusted with all its 'commercial aviation, has content ed itself with operating a sea plane between Osaka and Fuku oka. Tokyo and Seoul are connected already by Japan Air Transport company's planes, but the pres ent schedule involves an over night stop at either Fukuoka or t'rusan, Korea, neither of which offers modern hotel accommoda tions. The company has asked the government to approve a schedule which would take up passengers at dawn in Tokyo and set them down in Seoul at dusk.
