B " LONDON ILLUMINED ~ FOR BIG MEETING City Fairyland of Brilliance !, and Shadows for World Lighting Delegates. By Cable to The Star. LONDON, August 31 (N.ANA) ‘The Triennial Congress of the Interna- tional Commission on Illumiration ns, for the first time in Great Brit- ain, Tuesday, and in honor of the event London after dark is being transformed into a fairy city of lights and shadows. Buildings, gray and famillar by dav, | take on a pearly radiance, spires shine and are changed and the towers and cupolas of Westminster acquire the magic and allure of the East and form a fitting background to the twinkling g.\.lrllfiicolurrd fairy lights of St. James One of the most difficult and intricate tasks was the flood-llzhtlnfi of Big Ben and its tower. The great height of the tower and the consequent distance and angles of throw, together with the fact that the London atmosphere has toned down the stone of the tracery to a dull black, giving a very low reflection fac- tor, have made the job a far from eas; one, and many experiments had to be carried out before the flood-lighting of the tower was completely satisfactory. It is interesting to note, in these days of electricity, that special steps have been taken by the Iilumination Com- mittee to show what can be done in the way of flood-lighting with gas. Whitehall, Victoria street, Pall Mall, ‘Trafalgar Square, Regent street and many other famous thoroughfares in the metropolis are still lit by gas, and ‘Whitehall, at any rate, will be a blaze of light during the congress.

S. FARM BOARD PRAISED BY LEGGE Former Chairman Sees Agriculture Saved From Dire Distress by Stabilizing Influence. By the Associaied Press. KANKAKEE, Ill, August 31.—Alex- ander Legge, former chairman of the Federal Farm Board, said yesterday that the American farmer has succeed- ed in maintaining his position despite the general depression largely through the efforts of the board he once headed. Speaking before a soil and crop as- sociation rally, he said the board, by improving its system of gathering crop and market information from through- out the world, was making valuable IIQJI toward stabilizing the agricultural industries. Statisticians, farmers, economists and wheat speculators all were conf: about the world wheat situation until & short while ago, Legge said. He blamed this confusion on the lack of knowledge, declaring that it caused an overproduc- tion of wheat. “I can prove,” he sald, “that if the first wheat stabilizing operations of the Farm Board of 1929 had not been put through, farmers would have taken the first and heaviest jolt of this depression, Just as they did in 1920 and 1921. “Also, if it had not been for the sec- ond stabilizing operation, announced November 17, 1930, the disaster threat- ening wheat growers and those who lent money on the crop would have burst upon them with force and fury. In all probability, the result would have been a far worse depression than we have thus FIVE BILLIONS A YEAR PAID RETAIL WORKERS First Complete Census of National Situation Shows 3,769,000 Employed.
