ODD FELLOW EXPORT OF SCRAP IRON IS BOOMING DELEGATES V IS IT W ar Provides Profitable Market COLUMBIA (Special) — Forrest for Old Metal. Moore’s son Earl, and Earl’s daugh Washington.—Automobile grave yards, river bottoms, and other scrap metal resources have built up a business that has netted the United States $153,562,000 in the past five years, the Commerce de partment reports. The export scrap business has risen from $11,000 worth of exports in 1896 to the astonishing figure of $80,000,000 in 1937—a record year. This was an increase of $25,500,000 over the preceding year. From figures set down on the books in January of this year, 1938 w ill go down in history as an even bigger year for the export of the scrap metal. Shipments during the month totaled 356,537 tons valued at $6,065,852. War-scared Europe continued to absorb the bulk of the January ship ments, as it did throughout 1937. The United kingdom accounted for 128,100 tons, The Netherlands 58,000 tons and Ita ly 47,000 tons. Japan, still at war, bought 31,000 tons during the month, a large in crease compared with the small amount of 9,000 tons it purchased in the preceding month. This nation led the race for scrap last year with imports totaling 1,900,000 tons from the United States. Export scrap in 1933 was set at an average of $8.80 per ton. The aver age export price during 1937 stood at $19.90. Art of Reading on Wane in U. S., Educator Say* State College, Pa.—A poor report card does not necessarily mean a child is a dullard. The probable reason is that he has not learned to read properly. So says Dr. Emmett A. Betts, re search professor in education at the Pennsylvania State college, who has made a special study of the nation’s reading difficulties and who has written textbooks on this subject. Dr. Betts said that between 8 and 25 per cent of the total school population in the United States has never learned to read properly. They have been retarded in promo tions, called “ dullards” and are en tering life under an extremely se rious handicap, he said. “ But data indicate that about 80 per cent of these children who “ can’t pass” from one grade to another be cause they are lacking in reading ability are of average or distinctly superior intelligence,” he explained. “ F ifty per cent of the adult popu lation of the country does not enjoy reading probably because of expe riences in prim ary schools. Yet 80 to 90 per cent of all study activity in high schools involves reading.” In an effort to remedy this sit uation, Dr. Betts has established at the college here one of the few read ing clinics in the United States. ter Bonnie of Gold Hill, Ore., also Prof. Hanley and Jess Richardson of Central Point, arrived Monday even ing at the Moore home.

Portland, Oregon Expedition to Excavate for Ancient City of Van Providence, R. I.—A joint expedi tion to excavate the site of the an cient city of Van, flourishing trade center of Asia Minor centuries ago, w ill be undertaken this summer by Brown university and University of Pennsylvania archeologists. Sponsors of the venture are con fident many secrets of mankind’s cultural development, especially in architecture, language and religion, lie hidden beneath the great dust heaps which now cover the ruins of the once proud metropolis. It was destroyed by conquering Scyth ian armies about 600 B. C. They also hope to shed new light on the international relations of the Asia Minor of antiquity. Van was the capital of the kingdom of Van. Caravan trade routes linked it with the known world. Buried records, it is believed, w ill reveal how the kingdom dealt with its neighbors as power and wealth came to the city’s 30,000 people. Eskimo* Live in Frame Houses; Igloo* Are Gone Seattle.—Eskimos must be disso ciated from igloos, for there is not one in use today, at least in Alaska, said Leonard Berline, United States surveyor, returned from a long sea son in the Far North. The natives now live in frame houses, or “ barbaras,” he said. A "barbara” is built half under ground, half above ground and cov ered with grass, boards or anything to keep the elements out. When built underground it oftentimes is necessary to build fires to thaw out the ground. They are not ihe best abodes in the world, Berline said, but Eskimos are a good-natured and care-free hand of people and make the best of it.
