BANANAS MAKE BERLIN GLAD : . . , ? ? / . i ? After Five Years' Absence, This Na tive of the Tropics Is Real Symbol of Peace. As I was passing down, tin" Krled richstrasse, says a correspondent of the London Times, writing from Iterlln. my eye was caught by a crowd of pepnle which suddenly tfftllected in* frontvof a delicatessen shop. It' WM OHIyVkh difficulty that one ..Qould get near' enough to see what It was that attracted so much attention.

The smiling faces and little Jokes made It quite evident that the banana was recognized as a symbol of peace, and that the delight felt at Its presence was due to the evidence It afforded * that the blockade Is a thing of the past. Some Airplane Gat It Pink. 4 , There is a difference between auto~ mobile gasoline and airplane gasoline. For aircraft the gas must be lighter and more volatile, that Is, evaporate more readily, than ordinary gas. This causes It to work better at 'great altl tudes. There are three grades of gas oline for our airplanes, one for train- j lng planes, a better grade of gasoline for bombing planes and the very best grade for the fighting planes. "Fight* ' lng gas," as it Is called, Is colored pink. This is to distinguish it from other grades so that Inexperienced men working at the aviation fields . will not use this valuable gasoline for other purposes. This pink gas is as pure as It can be produced, refined /-and doubly refined and strfclned or filtered until there are no impurities ' left in it. ? American Boy. Holding Down a Profession.

Bouth Mint small grain and hay will sell at an almost unthink able price because the weather condi tions have resulted !u practically no Htuall grain being Ranted ^n the West, Was issued last night by J. 8kottowe Wauiuuuaker, president of the Ameri can (VtJtou Association, who declared that the Southern farmers "who fail to plant small grain are- acting aguinst t'heir best intere?t?." Mr. Wanuamaker said Southern farm ers will not be able to buy 'this small grain, ?s the priee is going to bo almost prohibitive for Iho average fanner. "If tolie Western growers produce more than they have to have themselves, they will demand a fabulous price for it," he said. "I would urge that every farmer pl it 1 1 1 small grain and be prepared to meet the situation. The \veat4ier con ditions in tJhe West have been ?uoh that practically no small grain has beeu plant ed in that section, and an we usually """depend upon that section for it, we can all we that the reftuft is tfoing to be enormously high prices for what little will be grown. s In China it iw the custom to drink wines hot The thrifty Chinese belier* that heated wine Intoxicates more ex peditiously than cold wine. ^Ae A/losi Beautiful lOar in ; The constantly increasing demand for Paige cars? always in excess of the constantly increasing pro' duction ? is unmistakable evidence of reputation for quality and the public's confidence in both the product and its makers.
