umgg,. Bermuda's "Perfect "*
Vagetabla" "Aint What
She V??d to Be"
Hamilton, Bennudn^Nov. KWTba
.-Beruinda onion is not what it nasd
* to bs, according to E. A. McCallan,
Bermuda directorof agriculture. Ho.
says the UatUd States tariff, competition
of Texas growers and the
"pink rust" disease is largely responsible.
"Since the days in which Mark
Twain .wrote that in Bermudian metaphor
the onion stood for absolute perfection,
that vegetable has fallen
; from its high estate and is becoming
of decreasing importance/' say Mr.
McCallan in the agricultural bulletin
of the Bermuda Department of Agriculture.
"The new United States
tariff places an almost prohibitive
-^uty.an Bermuda onions, and it is
necessary to look elsewhere for a
market- > Canada is that market."

taught, t# wear shoes and the "barefoot

compiled by the American Chamber
of Commerce of Mexico are correct.
Not only have importations of footwear
from the United States increased,
it is said, but during the past two

Alaska is fbrssssn by Assoolats Fo
star S. A. Sherman ot ths Dspai
msnt of Agriculture, who roc eat
visited that territory. Exports n
fish, for ths last 10 or 12 ysers . tl
great source of cash returns, will 1
surprisingly heavy this year, he r
ports, while a mining revival is
evidence and exports of high-grai
lumber, cut from the Tongass Natio
al Forest, shows a promising begi
ning.
"The people of southern Alaska a
particularly pleased with the effor
of the Forest Service to establish
pulp and paper industry there, m
with the roads built by the Servii
and by the Bureau of Public Bonds
Mr. Sherman says. "The road proi
lem in Alaska is unlike that ei
countered elsewhere. In the state
travel and traffic exist before tl
government bfegins building road
in Alaska we have to anticipate tl
demand."
The completion, probably ue:
January, of the government railroi
from . Seward to Fairbanks?a di
tence almost as great as from Wasl
ii gto to Boston?will greatly bene!
the mining industry in the interio
in the opinion of Mr. Sherman, wl
predicts cheaper fuel for the mine
"The output of canned salmon fro;
Alaska this year will be about tl
average of the past 10 or 12 yearssomething
over 4,000,000 cases," 1
states. "It looked last year as thoug
the salmon industry was facing earl
destruction, but the run this yet
was in some cases greater than ,ev?
before."
The relatively new herring curin
irduBtry also has seen increased a<
livity. Alaska last year shippc
about 170,000 barrels of mild-cure
herring, which was more than in an
previous year. A shipment of a
most twice as much is expected t
:? this year's total.
Mr. Sherman says that at one sea
h rt he saw a vessel loading a cai
<< of 1.800,000 feet of Alaska lum
x r for Australia. It was only par

President Harding has assured ..
Commissioner of Education Tigert _
nat he would, by proclamation, set '
aside that week for education purposes,
and a real nation-wide revival
>f educational. enthusiasm is looked
tor by educator* generally. c,
In order to concentrate the cam- tl
?aign upon phases of education which 0
ire of outstanding significance, cer- f,
.ain days were designated upon which j,
(pecial.topics will be stressed. These C)
ire: Sunday, December 8, God and
Country: December 4, American cit- jv
izenship; 5th, patriotism; 6th, school t|
and teacher; 7th, illiterary; 8th, 4
jquality of opportunity, and 9th, phy-l

Every facility for publicity and ed- "
ncation, even the air, will be used, for g
the Bureau of Education has arrnnged
with the Inter-department Advis- h
Dry Committee on government radio

to broadcast educational material ^

Governors, mayors and other ex- ^
ecutive officers have been invited by
the education officials to issue proclamations
and otherwise promote gen- f
eral observation of the week. News- 1
papers and magazines also will set
aside space for the campaign. *
Commissioner Tigert said the top- y
ics for each day were selected because
they were considered of national importance.
He explained, however, that
these selections should not preclude
the various states, municipalities and a
counties from stressing those features ^
of education wllich need emphasizing t

Declares England Does i
Not Need Gulf Stream (
London, Nov. 20.?-Science has come j
forward recently ro destroy another of '
man's long cherished illusions, but at
the same time it hits removed a source
of constant anxiety to those who '
would attempt to understand the ;
causes of climatic conditions.
M. Danots, the well known nydroi- 1
?gist, who has made a special study '
of the waters of the Atlantic, has declared
that the temperate. climate of
the British Isles and the northern (
coast of France does not depend on
the Gulf, stream, and that its diver,
sion would not therefore leave this
section of the world in tha jp~ip of an
Arctic winter. M. Danoia claims to
have proved that the Gulf stream, rising
to the north of the Antilles, does
not pass the Sargasso Sea, and the
notion must be discarded*that it traverses
the Atlantic to bathe the
shores of England and France.
He. oppresses the view that the Gulf
stream is merely the backwash of the
equalaalal currents. Bummer beat
provokes dilations of the heavily salt.

Ward started telegraphing back in r
1862, working for the Grand Trunk (

Edison was a "newsboy" on the Grand

his spare moments to take up tele- <

When Edison's train stopped long (

them back over the wires to his

During the civil war, Ward served

High Priced Land
neeps Living Lost High
Osaka, Japan, Nov. 20.?Great effort?
are being made by the government
and the people of Japan to
bring down the cost of living, but
leading economists agree that it is
difficult to bring about a permanent
reduction of the price of agricultural
products as long as the value of farm
lands remains high.
There are about fifteen million
seres of agricultural lands \n Japan,
of which approximately one-half is
paddy field, which is exclusively devoted
to the growing of rice. The
average value of the rice fields in
Japan la as high as $1,240 per acre.

American Aviator
Flys Over Andes
Lima, Peru, Nov. 20.?What is probably
the most daring aviation feat yet
recorded in South America is the
fight by an American aviator, Elmer
J. Faucet, from Lima to the Amazon
port of Iquitos. Faucett, who is attached
to the statT of the National
Aeronautic Company of Peru, left
Lim ain a Curtiss "Ohiole" plane, in
an cnort to win a prize of $5,000 for
the first airplane flight from this capital
to Iquitos, offered by thp Peruvian
congress. The first lap of the flight
was to Chiclayo, 400 miles north of
Lima. Faucett made this distance in
six hours, and landed safely on the
arid plains near that city.
Several weeks were required to get
the plane in condition for the second
stage of the flight, which was particularly
dangerous in the absence of air
maps or any other guides. Iquitos imore
than 500 miles froh Chiclayo in
a straight air line, and the intervening
country is as wild as can be found
in South America. This region is a
vast tangle of difficult mountain
passes, cascades, and rapids until the
highest ranges of the Andes are passed
at an elevation of from 16,000
to 17,000 feet. The Maranon river and
its affluents, which flow into the Amazon,
have cut tremendous chasms in
the ranges of the Andes, down which
swift, turbulent streams flow in their

trabie jungles and swampy wastes
make travel of any kind difficult.
It was over such a country that
Faucett had to fly when he made his
final "hop-off" from Chiclayo on October
6. Had his motor failed him.
no trace of aviator or plane would
probably ever have been discovered.
As It was, he was forced to land when
only 40 minutes of flying separated
him from his goal. A driving rain and
tlranderstorra forced him down o<i
an islet in the Tigre river, where his
plane became mired in the soft sand,
causing him to break a propeller. A
passing launch from Iquitos picked
him up and carried the stranded aviator
to the isolated Amazon port,
where he was given a tremendous ovation.
His flying time from Chiclayo
up to the moment of the accident was
also six hours, or a total of 12 hours
from Loraa.
Tokio Has Museum of Future
