this first infection in children.

Incubator of germs that es

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.

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.
Battle of the Civil W ar
Halted by Cattle Herd
Reading, Mich. — Whippoorwills

ville, according to Albert Fuller,
ninety-three years old, who fought
w ith Company K , Seventy-eighth
New York infantry.
About 1,000 panic-stricken cattle
charged between the firing lines and

the fight, he said.
