SILVER BUYING GENERAL MOTORS Installment PLAN M otor HERMISTON, OREGON GENERAL MOTORS FRED HUBER, OWNER Installment PLAN SAYLOR’S NEW FALL MILLENERY Survey Report« China in as Good Shape as Japan To Continue War. SAN FRANCISCO. — Hugs pur chases of China's silver reserves by the U. S. treasury have been one of the prime factors in enabling Chi na to maintain its resistance to the Japanese invasion, according to a survey of the Institute of Pacific Re lations. As a result the institute finds that China is in just as good shape finan cially for continuing the war as Ja pan, and possibly even better. Neither shows an indication of be ing near the point of financial ex haustion, although the institute be lieves China in the end will be forced to resort to inflation. “No statements have ever been is sued,” the survey states, “to show how much silver has actually been taken over, but the silver deals be tween the U. S. treasury and Chi nese authorities have been so com. prehensive that little Chinese silver has been sold on the open market since transactions between the two gover.iments were first initiated. The p ice paid the Chinese appar ently has been higher than that pre vailing in the open market.” Silver Sold to Treasury. The institute finds that since No vember, 1935, when China was forced off the silver standard owing to the United States’ action in ar bitrarily boosting the price of sil ver to 45 cents an ounce, the Chi nese fiscal authorities have handled roughly 1,200,000,000 Chinese dol lars. At the United States price of 45 cents per ounce this makes a total of 430,000,000 U. S. dollars. Most of this, the institute says, has been sold to the U. S. treasury. Nearly all of this has presumably been shipped out of China, much of it coming directly to the United States, and the remainder being held either at Hongkong or London awaiting shipment to its eventual American destination when the moment is fa vorable. Opium Brings Revenue. The second source of unofficial revenue that is enabling Chiang Kai- shek to keep up his resistance is that of the opium growing provinces of China, the institute says. Before the Japanese invasion, it was known these provinces were yielding annually $75,000,00(1 to Chi ang’s war chest, but with the pres ent heavy increase in the price of opium, the institute estim ates that Chiang now has $100,000,000 annual ly from this source. New Orleans Battle Site May Be National Park NEW ORLEANS.—Chalmette Bat tlefield, where Gen. Andrew Jack- son, his Kentucky Rifles and Pi rate Lafitte’s smugglers routed the British from behind cotton bales, may become a national park. Movements have been under way for years to purchase the old field. The Louisiana legislature has passed a bill appropriating $300,000 out of the public school fund to purchase the land. When signed by the governor, the bill probably will mean that the government will contribute $1,000,000 to beautify the memorial, accord ing to Col. E. S. Brea of the Nation al Defense committee and the Asso ciation of Commerce. The national park service already has shown great interest in the proj ect. A committee recently surveyed the site. The state, however, will not pur chase the battlefield unless the gov ernment agrees to reproduce Brit ish and American lines as indicated by old maps. More Conveniences Help Keep ’Em Down on Farm WASHINGTON.—Now it is known what’s been keeping ’em down on the farm in recent years. Census Director William L. Austin dis closed that a “sample survey” of 3,000 farms in 40 states showed that the level of living on the nat:on's farms has risen materially since 1930. It revealed that seven out of every ten farms had automobiles; six had radios: and four were light ed by electricity.

V a lle y o f th e N ile Is a 7 0 0 -M ile -L o n g Oasis The valley of the Nile is nothing more or less than a 700-mile-long oasis, with the great wastes of the Libyan desert bounding it on the west and the Arabian desert on the east. At times, writes a correspondent in the Detroit News, the two great deserts try hard to meet, compress ing the Nile valley into a mere thread consisting of little more than the river. For the greater part, however, the valley ranges in width from three or four to fifteen miles. Except in those places where the deserts encroach or the fantastic multi-colored sandstone hills crowd in, the floor of the Nile valley re sembles nothing so much as a great rambling checker board, its squares blocked out by an intricate system of irrigation ditches, which suck their life-giving water from the river. Once every year the 180 sluices of the great dam at Assouan are opened and the Nile rises more than a m an’s height, the unleashed waters overflow its banks and, from the Sudan to the approaches of Cairo, spread far and wide over the floor of the valley. For three months these mechanically-controlled flood waters cover the land, seeping deep into the rich earth and irrigating it for the next year's crops. With the coming of the flood wa ters the fellaheen, or peasants, who have been careless of the sites on which they have erected their mud huts must watch their miserable homes melt away before their eyes. Then, loading their all, which is usually next to nothing, on a camel, they move back to higher and drier land and start building anew. After the water has subsided it is drawn from the river during the next nine months by water wheels and dumped into the deep transver sal ditches from which it flows, in turn, into smaller channels run ning parallel to the river.
