"Java is the most populous of
the Islands, Us 50,000 square
miles supporting about 35,000,

to an area one-sixtieth of that

Increase Noted In Exports
Of United States Goods
To Netherlands, Indies.
Washington, D. C (Special)
The blockade of Germany
and war's disruption of Euro
pean shipping are re-aligning
world trade' routes as further
evidence in the growing ship
ment of goods from the United
States to Netherlands Indies.
For years this island empire,
southeast of Asia, has pur
chased most of its supplies in
The Netherlands, British and
German markets.
"Commonly referred to as the
Dutch East Indies, the Islands
aggregate an area almost 60
times that of The Netherlands,
a country about the size of
Maryland," says a bulletin from
National Geographic Society
headquarters.
"The Islands spread over the
sea, east and west, for a dis
tance equal to that from Snn
Francisco to the Bermudas.
They have a population of 00,
000,000. Largest Island
"New Guinea, the largest of
the Islands, is also the largest
Island in the world outside polar
waters. Borneo, of which three
fourths belongs to The Nether
lands, Sumatra, Java and Bali,
are other important islands of
the group over which Queen
Wilhelmlna reigns.
"The early explorers, round
ing the Capo of Good Hope of
South Africa, traveled more
than 11,000 miles from Rotter
dam to the islands. Since the
completion of the Suez canal,
the sailing distance has been
cut to about 8,300 miles. Regu
larly scheduled airplanes now
reach Batavia, Java, in six
days.
"The United States Is second
only to The Netherlands among
the foreign markets for the isl
ands' products. Direct Imports
by the United States In 1038
were worth $88,751,000. Tea
Imports increased but there was
a 28 per cent reduction In the
Importation of crudo rubber,
with other decreases In straw
hats, tin, sisal and kapok fibers,
goat and kid skins. United
States exports to Netherlands
Indies last year Increased by 10
per cent over 1937, totaling
$27,818,000. The Increase was
due almost entirely to excep
tionally large shipments of air
planes. "Pioneer navigators to the
East called these islands the
'spice Islands.' Last year the
United States Imported nearly
$12,000,000 worth of spices and
Netherlands Indies was the
source of most of It. As much
as 73,000,000 pounds of pepper
have been shipped to the
United States In one year, in
addition to mustard seed, cinna-

Chicago (U.R) You'll be
tickled to know the reason you
can't tickle yourself Is you arc
"not prepared to laugh and
there is no decrease in tone of
the involved musculature."
The Journal of the American
Medical association explained
the .tickle reflex in response to
an itiqulry from a Saskatchewan
doctor.
There are two kinds of tick
ling, the Journal explains, deep
and surface. Deep pressure
over the ribs, in the armpit and
elsewhere causes muscles un
derneath to contract, the per
son to draw away and laugh,
or sometimes cry.
The reason this does not oc
cur when a person tickles him
self is because he consciously
resists and because his muscles
are kept rigid, and the Impulse
does not reach the brain.
Tickling by someone else can
be defeated, the Journal said,
"by keeping the Involved area
completely rigid."
Suracc tickling is really only
itching, according to the Jour
nal, and is produced by passing
something light or "tickly" over
the skin.
REFUGE TO GEESE
Rochester. Minn. (IIP) fnn.
servationlsts believe that Mayo-
wood, estate of Dr. C. W. Mayo
of the famous medical clinic,
offers one nf the hi.r winter
refuges for Canadian wild geese
in me country.
Mnvowood's fame n a urlM
bird sanctuary has spread quick
ly as evidenced by the fact that
15 geese wintered there five
years ago, 800 flocked there in
1038 and approximately 2,400
L-annaian honkers have settled
there this winter.
Matt Snnrl. rnmn wnnlnn
conducted the difficult Job of
counting beaks, estimates 7,000
geese will seek refnno at Mv.

1B4I-42.

They return to their breeding

Canada late in March.

Boston (U.R) Dogs were ban
ned from Nantucket and Duke
counties in Massachusetts 200

the act, according to the WPA

The stock market got up a lit
tle mid-session steam today and
leaders were advanced fractions
to a point or more.
Business news was described
as "certainly all right for the
time being" by one commenta
tor, and it was thought the
final stages of selling for tax
adjustment purposes was the
main pressure on the market in
the morning.
Another militating element
was a further break in most
of the commodities which have
enjoyed an almost sensational
rise In the past three weeks.
The London market was steady
but Paris and Amsterdam back
tracked a little.

Washington. VP) Your
grandfather may have joined
the army to see the world or
fight a war. But that's not typ
ical of present day recruits who
are swelling U. S. army rolls at
the rate of 3,000 a week.
Army officers say the modern
recruit usually does not expect
to fight in any war. He does
not expect to go to Europe. And
he does not think the U. S. will
be invaded. He's more likely to
join the army to learn a trade.
Must Know More
Not that Uncle Sam passes
out vocational training just to
be helpful. In modern mechan
ized armies soldiers have to
know a great deal more than in
the days when the average en
listed man merely carried a rifle
or dug ditches.
In those days not more than
25 to 30 per cent of the enlisted
men took any vocational train
ing in the army. Today, 70 per
cent or more get instruction.
This special work ranges
from studying the weather and
making maps to selecting food
and inspecting forage. There
are diverse lines such as radio
construction and operation, ma
chinists' work on motorized and
mechanized fighting units, pho
tography, physics of firing guns,
repairing Diesel switch engines,
airplane mechanics, dental and
hospital assistant.
About 68,000 privates taking
vocational training now rank as
"specialists" who have com
pleted technical studies in the
army. They won pay increases
from $3 to $30 a month. Pri
vates start at $21.00 a month
plus clothing, food, medical
care. Enlisted men can work up
to $157.50 a month.
Anyone Can Study
This vocational training is
open to every enlisted man who
shows that he is interested ana
can learn. There are no arbi
trary scholastic requirements.
Selection of men for special
training is left to army officers.
There are many men to choose
from, for the majority of present-day
recruits reached eighth
grade, half attended high school,
and four out of a hundred were
to college.
All branches of the service
are open to recruits under the
expansion . program voted by
congress and enlarged by presi
dential order to bring enlisted
strength from 165,000 in July,
1939, to 227,000.
Virtue's Worth
Laval, France. JP) Virtue
has just had a 300.000 franc
(about $6,900) reward. That is
the sum a Jury awarded 19-ycar-old
Madeleine Lapierre for
being "the most virtuous poor
girl In the region." The money
was left by a wealthy widow of
Laval.
