Scientist Says Social and Indus-
trial Unrest Must First
Be Calmed.
PARTS OF WORLD ARE HUNGRY
Hardly Any Factor of Business That
Is Stable—Production Has Been
Crippled In Many Countries—
Distribution Disorganized.
London.—The world can expert no
relief from the present high cost of
living and the shortage of commodities
until the widespread social anil Indus-
trial unrest has disappeared and the
war shuttered economic machinery
Ims been put In order, according to
Charles A. McCurdy, parliamentary
secretary to the ministry of food. Mr.
McCurdy said that he was not partic-
ularly optimistic over the chances of
any marked betterment of the situa-
tion la the near future.
“We have bolshevism at one end of
the world and widespread strikes at
•.he other,” said Mr. McCurdy, "and
not until society resumes its normal
course cun wo right economic condi-
tions.
“It Is very difficult to prophesy re-
garding the food situation of the fu-
ture, in view of the fact that the
whole economic structure of the world
has been so badly dislocated. There
Is hardly any factor of business that
Is stable, and we do i\ot know what
wages tire to he. As a result of these
conditions the regular channels of dis-
tribution are disorganized, and until
they nre normal. It will he Impossible

Parts of World Hungry.
“While It Is true that America, Eng-
land and some other countries nre
sufficiently supplied now tin that there
Is no distress among the people, yet
this comparative ubundance Is In re-
ality a fictitious one and may not Inst.
Great sections of the world are actu-
ally hungry because of the Impossi-
bility of distributing supplies prop-
erly. If the channels of distribution
were open and the economic condi-
tions were such that foodstuffs could

need them we probably would And
ourselves faced with a shortage In

"For example, if the peoples of cen-
tral Europe should he In n position
next year to purchase the meat they
need, there would be n world short-
age of several million tons. It Is Im-
probable that they will he aide to Imy,

In advance. I believe that, a year from
now, things will have been brought to

“There nre those who tell me that

there will he no shortage, hut 1 can

fair share of what the world produces.
“There Is nnnther factor to he, con-
sidered also. Where production has
been stimulated during the war It
must ultimately revert to normal. It
Is not natural ns It stands. In the
United States, for Instance, the meat
production has been artificially stim-
ulated, and It Is laird to estimate when
this temporary condition will vanish.
America next year tuny he nn Import-
er of meat, Instead of n big exporter.
See what thnt would mean to the rest
of the world.
“On the other hand, production has
beeu crippled In many countries.
Shortage in Europe.
“In Europe us a whole, there Is nn
actual shortage of It per cent In sheep
and a larger shortage In pigs. Ite-
cause of this Europe would have to
Import 3.600,000 tons of meat this
coming year, If It were to return to
Its pre-war consumption.
"In regard to wheat the exportable
surplus of the world Is down com-
pared with that before the war. Im-
port requirements at the same lime
are up. The same thing Is true of
butter, mid In some countries Its con-
sumption Ims been Increased by the
lack of margarine. There Is nlso a
sugar shortage. The beet sugar pro-
duction has dropped off 4,200.000 tons
In Europe since 1014. The enne su-
gar production of the world meantime

Prehistoric Tree Trunk
Found in Iron Mine
A ---
St. Raul, Minn.—Discovery has
Inst been mnde In tIn* lloluuin
Iron mine, near Taconlte, Itasca
county, Minnesota, not fnr from
the source of the Mississippi
river, of the trunk and branches
of a prehistoric pine tree In nn
excellent state of preservation
and with pine cones about it.
The tree Is not petrified. The
wood Is as sound in the main us
though It had been felled only a
few years ago and the pine cones
nre still pliable. The wood with
exposure to ulr has not softened
or crumbled, and the find Is the
first of Its kind on record so far
as geologists of the great Iron
ranges can learn.
Illustration of What a Little Fore-
thought Can Do to Aid in
Town's Development
The business men of an Ohio com-
munity discovered, some years ago,
that a considerable portion of the sav-
ings of Its people were flowing out Into
the hands of promoters of wild-cat
schemes, und that other funds were
being invested outside the community
in enterprises tliut were certainly no
more promising than the community
Itself could afford.
So a committee of members of the
commercial organization was formed,
and It was announced that this com-
mittee would pass upon Investments
offered to the people—tills being before
Ohio had a "blue sky” law. The com-
mercial body frankly announced that
capital wns needed for the further de-
velopment of the city’s natural re-
sources. While members of the com-
mercial body pledged themselves to
give preference to local Investments,
there wns little difficulty In gaining
almost ns complete co-operation from
non-members of the organization.
Money was kept at home, and it went
largely into the financing of the city's
natural Industrial expansion.
Here was another instance wherein
the natural course of development was
most obvious, but In this one the peo-
ple saw It, while in so many instances
they overlook it.—The Nation's Busi-
ness.
GRADE-CROSSING WARNING
slder the meaning of the phenomenon
In the United States, where there Is
no food shortage but an exportable
surplus. The food supply Is above
normal, nnd yet the prices have ad-
vanced almost proportionately with
the Increase In Great Britain, which
Is largely an Importing country. This
curious situation ninkes one realize
that In estimating food prices the eco-
nomic effects pecullur to foodstuffs are
not the determining factor, hut eco-
nomic conditions ns n whole.
“There seems to he a tendency In
mnny countries to expend war wages
nnd profits on consumption—goods,
food, clothing, etc.—to a greater ex-
tent than on the purchase of raw ma-
terials for the extension of Industry.
It may bo pnrtly due to this consump-
tion thnt goods on the whole have
such an upward trend since the ar-
mistice.”

Pastor Tells of Visitation From
Spouse After Death.
Gets Information That Enables Him
to Locate Missing Doc-
uments.
Philadelphia.—A supposed visita-
tion from Ills wife after her death,
whether In a dream or In the spirit,
related by Hew Dr. Russell II. Con-
well, Is causing much speculation
among members of the Grace Baptist
temple.
Dr. Con well, founder und president
Temple university, related his expe-
rience at a recent Sunday morning
service In the Baptist temple In which
lie told of the visitation. Ills wife
died thirty years ago.
“I received three strange visits
from my wife,” he said. "On three
successive nights she seemed to come
and sit on the side of the bed which
l occupied.
"While sitting there she gave me
valuable Information relating to sever-
tmportnnt papers which 1 knew
got out of bed Immediately nfter re-
ceiving the Instructions nnd found the
papers Just where she said they were.”
Dr. Conwoll sahl he did not know
what to believe about the visitation.
“It may have been thought trans-
ference," he ntided. "I have never
been able to decide what It was, hut
I do know thnt I was unable to locate
these papers until I received the mes-
sages from my wife.”

including that for the erection of a
Liberty memorial, which are being
considered by committees or special
representatives of the chamber, offer-
ed five suggestions for what the or-
ganization calls Its “One Big Job.”
“A city,” he said, “Is not made by
location or by natural resources; it
is made by the thought of the com-
munity. Our community should think
and act ns one. Our list of thirty-four
tasks makes up a sane, progressive,

British Paupers Increase.
London.—The returns on the num-
ber of paupers relieved during the
month of September In Great Britain
show a rule of 125 for bach 10,000 of
the greatest cheese-eating nations of
the world.
Small Per Capita Consumption.
Visitors at the national dairy show
In Chicago were surprised to learn
from a government exhibit what n
very email amount of cheese (one
eighth of nn ounce) each person of
this country eats daily. Cheese mak-
ers, and dealers nre just beginning to
realize that the cheese demand can be
Increased tremendously if the merits
of this food are properly brought to
the attention of the public.
Flight countries have learned to
know cheese better than we have.
Denmark lends with a per capita con-
sumption of 12.3 pounds; the United
Kingdom, according to the Intest fig-
ures available, comes next with 11.2
pounds per caplin. Then France,
Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Italy,
and Australia nre listed in the order
named—all ahead of the United
States, which lias a per capita con-
sumption of only 3.8 pounds a yenr.
Three-fourths of a century ago the
people of this country seemed in n
fair way of learning the value of
cheese, and l>y 1850 their per capita
consumption hnd risen to four pounds
nnd 12 ounces, but this figure has nev-
er been reached since. The cheese

Everyone Interested In enlarging
the market for cheese should under-
stand clearly its food value. It con-
tains over 25 per cent more protein
than the same weight of an average
cut of beef as purchased. So far ns
Its composition is concerned cheese
Is comparable with meat. There
nre a great variety of ways of using
cheese In the same wny as meat, nnd
these can usually be readily learned
by consulting the average cook book,
in planning menus In which cheese Is
given an Important place, the house-
wife should bear in mind thnt, being
rich in both protein nnd fat, cheese
may replace such foods ns fish nnd
eggs, ns well ns ment, rntlier than cer-
eal foods characterized by a Inrpe

such as vegetables nnd fruits.
How to Increase Demand.
Every Interest concerned In enlarg-
ing the market for cheese should Join

cheese In the dnlly menu," say dairy
specialists. There nre many ways In
which this education campaign cnti be
carried on. Advertising Is one effect-
ive medium. Attractive dtsplnys of
cheese nnd cheese dishes, with well-
worded placards, In grocery and del-
icatessen stores help materially.
