Prices on commodities are generally lower than a year or two ago, though of course there are some things, farm machinery for instance, which has not yet taken the drop. Some idea of the change in prices may be seen in comparing the prices of automobile tires now with a decade ago. A 30x3 : balloon tire is now quoted at $8.55 i and a cord tire of that size in 1918 , cost $41.65. The 1931 tire will give 1 three times the service the old tire gave which is certainly getting back to normalcy with a real bang. The Chamber of Commerce over at Wapakoneta, Ohio, is said to be one of the livest organizations of that kind in any small city, of the middle west. Their latest original idea to help things along is to get several hundred people to agree to buy two bushels of wheat each at seventy-five cents per bushel. This provides a market for some of the grain and the wheat will be saved until next winter and fed to the birds. The plan shows the business men are really interested in the farmers, that the people are loyal and that they love birds, all of •> which tends towards a better community. Reach into your coin pocket twice - a day for a year, count the various < coins without respect to the total j value of your change, and the final L accounting will show that you carried more pennies than nickels, more nickels than dimes, more dimes ' than quarters. This may not sur- 1 prise you, for if you examine your ■ change tor only a few days after s each transaction you will find pennies that aren’t worth much in a f jewelry shop, comprise the larger J part of your metal tonnage. Last year the American public carried 8 fewer coins—or at least few’er new ones, for the three mints of the United States produced 75 per cent. 3 fewer coins, with a value 60 per c cent, less than the year before. The production at the lower rate exceed- r , e<l X ’9 S ‘ of th e people's money is in banks—another ' sure guess—and of sums carried on 1 the person the variety that may be 1 classed as valuable hardware is by ( far the less. Knowing how many billions of dollars the American ‘ people possess, however, one would i hardly guess that in the last fiscal year the government mints turned 5 out only 98,236,500 coins with a total value of $6,615,110. The pre- ( vious year was a little more impres- ! sive with the minting of 399,467,200 1 . coins worth $16,278,180. — Philadel- , phia Bulletin. ■ r ............ ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS 1 1 .

WHITE RUSSIANS TEACH REFUGES POLICE WORK Best Points In Famous Detective Bureaus Incorporated Paris, —(UP)-»A school to train Russian refuges in police work has been started in Paris. Although the White Russians, ousted from their country by the Soviets, may never have anything to police, a number of their leaders are determined that they shall be prepared to assume control of their country if the occasion arises. The school, which already numbers about 300 men. will grant diplomas after the manner of the detective schools that advertise in magazines of the United States The school is sponsored by an organization with the considerable name of “The Direction General of the Association of Former Functionaries of the Urban and Rural Com munities of the Russian Empire and Abroad" The name, when pronounced in Russian, would cause any criminal to halt and throw up fits hands. To Aid White Russians The actual purpose of the organization is to create .whithin the laws of any country, an organiza tion capable of looking after the interests of White Russians in connection with the activities of the secret police of the Soviets. Such events as the kidnapping and probable murder of General Koutepotf, a White Russian leader, has made his political adherents apprehensive for the safety of other leaders. The founders of the school have made it plain, however, that the school is not to engage in any offensive or illegal activities in strange countries. The greater number of students in the school are either former of fleers in the Russian imperial armies or Russian lawyers. Two Types Preferred I’reference has been given to both classes in view of their presumed previous training and ability Colonel Mikhail Felkichkine, former underprefect of Odessa and head of the police of Riga, is incharge of the school Police organization, as demog strated in France, will be the model of instruction in the school, however. Instruction will be given in the latest police methods of the l Surete Generale, the French Scotland Yard. In addition, there will be classes in routine police work which will include handling of crowds, breaking up of street fights disarming of criminals and general gymnastic work Wyoming Hen Gives New Record To Rock Springs Rock springsWWyq , —(UP)—In Big Piney, Wyo., where the high school was constructed with bricks sent by parcel post from Utah, another strange incident has been added to a queer collection. A certain white leghorn hen laid an egg nine inches around lengthwise and seven inches in diameter. It contained three yolks. Ralph Mills, owner, said the hen I often laid eggs with two yolks.

Cruiser Gives 1,800 Work Philadelphia- (U.R) -When the keel of tyre new treaty cruiser Minneapolis was laid down at the League Island Navy Yard here recently it meant that 1.800 additional workmen would be employed by the Navy Department.
