Cyprus Once Center j Of Copper Industry| Washington, I). C., Oct. 30.?Tho movement to bring about a union be-{ tween the Mediterranean Island of Cyprus and Greece, long smouldering,has flared up again. Since 1015,' when Kngland took Complete possgs-1 sion from Turkey, auid offered it "to Greece in payment for aid in the cam-^ paign against Turkey during the World War, the island's ultimate des-; tiny has been uncertain. Greece did C*iot accept the offer, but the many Greek residents of Cyprus have kept the issue alive. "Cyprus, which is about the size. of our Porto Rico, is a land of Greek i people, Turkish customs and British j overlordship," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "In shape a rounded ox-hide, sprawling in the curve of the sea where Syria and Turkey meet, it is exceeded in area in the Mediterranean only by. the idand of Sicilv and Sardinia. "Few place* on earth are more richly endowed with remain* and tradition than t'vpru*. although today ; i* one "f the least sophisticated and least visited of .Mediterranean land-.

Among Cyprian farm products are grains, cheese, oranges, ripe olives and carobs, the lo cust beans which John the Baptist i"fc; supposed to have eaten while in tho: wilderness. "Until 50 years ago, Cyprus had been wholly under Turkish control for two centuries. Although under British administration since 1878, and a British crown colony since the outbreak of the World War, Turkish j influences linger. The government-; al. subdivisions of the island are the old Turkish ones; the laws are those of the Turkish code, with some changes; and Turkish weights and measures are still used. "Cyprus grain Is bought and sold by kiles in stead of bushels; olives and rnisins and butter are measured by okes instead of pounds, and if you buy the beautiful handmade lace that Cyprian women make you buy i it by .the pic, not by the yard. "Cyprus is an excellent example lesson for the forester who preaches ! the importance of conserving trees.! In ancient times the island was noted for its fine forests. Today the central plain of Cyprus and many of the mountain slopes are treeless save for scattered orchards. The streams j are torrents, entirely dry for a large part of the year, while the washing of the soil has created marshes in some sections. "Under British control plantations of those are being extended and protected from the depredations of goats.! Other constructive contributions by. the British are the beginnings of a sorely needed system of good road-'. ' irrigation works and improved cdu-; rational facilities. - j Cyprus and copper are synonymous. In ancient times the island was fam-j ous a- the best-known source^of the red metal that .made the Bronze Age pc --.hie. But whether the island wa< named for copper, or copper for the island, remains one of the mysteries; of history.

Rogers Stores Hit On Cotton Plan Ak (iikjOJulication of their deep interest in things that mean for the prosperity of the South, and partu u larly with reference to an improvement in the cotton situation, the operator* of Rogers stores have hit upon n very practical and useful plan to aid the present economic situation and help to hasten the leturn of normalcy. Some time hack the officials of the Rogers company, after an investigation as to its practicability, insisted upon coffee roasters from whom they purchase their supplies shipping their coffei- to the Rogers company in cotton hags. This is now being done in a great many ^stances covering many of their stdrea, and within a short time will probably be the custom with all of their -100 stores. These take the place of jute bags. Not only did they insist that the bean coffee coming in bulk be shipped to their stores in cotton bags, but they have had made to., then" special order a number of small stjcks holding from two to .Jdut pounds, in which to receive the bean coffee and which in turn is used as a receptacle for the ground coffee, the coffee bean being ground in the store as purchased. These smaller sacks are being made up by northern mills, bearing a Rogers label, and will mean, if the public takes kindly _tQ the move, considerable increase in cotton consumption in the making of both tho large sacks for the bulk coffee and the smaller sacks for retail sales in coffee. t Not only have Rogers officials insisted on putting into effect this aid to create more uses for cotton, but they have recently placed a large order through the Callaway Mills at LaGrange for many thousands of cotton chenille rugs. Perhaps at this time only a few of the Rogers stores-are able to furnish these rugs, but the order is being tilled by the southern mill as quickly as possible and within a short time all Rogers stores will be able to offer these rugs, and at a very nominal cost?in fact, almost totally without profit to the grocery company. These rugs are in many beautiful designs and colors, well-woven,?and are suitable for bath room, bed room, children's room or any other room in the house. In an interview with one of the Rogers officials, he stated: "We believe every industrial and commercial business in the South insofar as they are able should aid in every way to improve present econ-f omic conditions. No better thing tan be done than to encourage the use of cotton goods and to aid: in keeping large numbers of people employed. * "Largely for these reasons and to show one of the many uses of cotton, we are offering in many of our stores, and hope soon to have them in all our stores in this section, a splendid product of Southern cotton mills?a beautiful cotton chenille rug, ideal for bedroom or bathroom. "We have no intention of entering permanently into the business of selling rugs, but as a temporary means to aid in keeping thousands of mill workers employed and to aid the cot-: ton situation throughout the South.) we are offering '< r.e-e rugs for sah-jj and at a price which yield- a m:r. : imum i profit. j "As - well known, there are < :.!y two things that ? an remedy, the <>tKm situation. One is t<> either :.nd more uses for cotton, or the second is to- ijk'croaso ine f?v?*.v?.v... . eyer, under special plana such as we Ifyave in mind, and if other concerns I would do the same, it would go far toward? lining up the surplus of more than three million bales, and within a short time bring cotton back to its normal juice1 or to u price where the) farmers could enjoy a profit from | growing it." This move on the part of operators of Rogers group of 400 pure food stores in the Southeast ,sets a good example for others to follow, and will, no doubt, have a great tendency to relieve somewhat the present economic conditions. The company.'s interest in aiding to keep mill workers busy at work and to help [bring about more consumption of i cotton, we feel sure, will be appreciated by everyone interested in the j growth and prosperity of this entire i section. Henry F. Powers,' West Virginia Blue Beard, charged with the murder of two women and thre# children, has been indicted^ by the grand jury at Clarksburg, W. Va. Almost simultaneous with the indictment of Powers the body of Stamatos Sfikas, 40, a shoe sihirttng parlor proprietor and close friend of Powers, who disappoared last June, was found on a hillside near Clarksburg with a bullet in his head and his skull fractured. Jimmy Burns, air mail pilot, was forced down near Birmingham, Ala., Tuesday by a sparrow which struck him. in the eye,' almost causing him to lose control of his_machine. After receiving treatment for a black eye he proceeded to New Orleans.
