Storms which have lashed Lake Superior repeatedly this Winter have menaced delayed freighters, prevented protection of a solid formation in the ice, and threatened to make derelicts of several of the finest vessels on the lakes.

NEW YORK, February 28.—A Proc- ess by which a ton of straw may be burned to extract $250 worth of use- ful’products from the smoke has been discovered by George H. Harrison, an industrial chemist, according to an- nouncement by the magazine Farm and Fireside. The chemist, it is said, has obtained 1,600 pounds of products from each ton of wheat or oat straw, the prod- ucts including a new germicide favor- ably reported on by the Mayo brothers of Rochester, a roofing and damp- proofing paint and a fly spray. It is even possible, but not yet eco- nomically practical, to run an auto- mobile on gas obtained from the straw, the magazine quotes the chem- ist as saying in an interview accorded itles on the city fire escape as at the seashore is the message conveyed to mothers in the new onereel film, “Sun Babies,” which has just been produced by the Children’s Bureau of the United States Department of La- bor for use throughout the country. This picture, which takes about a quarter of an hour in showing, illus- trates some of the results of the rick- ets study made by the bureau in the New Haven clinic, in co-operation with the department of pediatrics of the Yale School of Medicine. In a simple and convincing series of pictures of actual cases studied in the clinic, the film gives a striking portrayal of the disastrous results of lack of sunlight and the marked improvement noted after several months of “taking the sun.” Other scenes show how the av- erage mother, whether she lives in a city apartment, a suburban home or on a farm, can give her baby th= sun baths which are so important a fac- tor in the prevention and cure of rickets. “Sun Babies” will be loaned by the Children’s Bureau to responsible per- gons and agencies with the under- standing that the borrowers will de- fray express charges back and forth and guarantee the safekeeping of the film. Those who desire to purchase the film may also apply to the bureau for information and prices. FRANCE “TURNS TABLES” ON THE COMMUNISTS Unemployment Doles Based on Amounts Paid Workless Men by the Internationalists. By the Associated Press PARIS, February 28.—"Bourgeois” communities have turned the tables on® Communist municipalities by pa ing higher unemployment doles than the internationalists, When the extremists demanded of one mayor a higher rate than the government provides, the bourgeois replied that he would guarantee to pay more than the principal com- munity controlled by Communists. The standard relief rate for the head of a family out of work is 4.50 francs a da with 2 francs additional for the wife and each child. That gives a family barely enough for one light meal of the cheapest foods every day with nothing for rent, light, heat or other expenses. Some communities have voted & ditional funds and individuals contributed enough to about double these allowances. Communist communities, howover, have had to keep to the official rate as a rule, because they are less pros. perous and because they insist the government should furnish the money. e NURSE UNIFORMS HIT.

LONDON, February P).— Nurses' skirts are too long and their caps too short, says a report of the standing commitiee of industrial women’s organtzations and the labor party's advisory committee on public health which is advocating a change in the out-of-date uniform.

Travelers across the San Mateo desert sands in New Mexico see a mirage, always the same at the same hour and position, a series of lakes, with_stately palms about, beautiful meadows and all that goes with an ideal home in trapical surroundings. Yet the sands are dry and barren, travelers must carry water in their wagons if driving horses, or a can of water in the auto, the desert mirage being the exact opposite of actual conditions. In the same way a ship captain, pounding along on the Red Sea with a deck temperature of 110, reports having seen a mirage of a spreading ice field, a glimpse of the Arctic waste, though the nearest ice fleld was more than 8,000 miles distant.
