AUSTRALIA WILLING TO INVEST $2,500,000 ¥or Establishment of Institution Fow Scientific Research in Rela- tion to Industry. (Correspondence of the Asso. Melbourne, Australia, Jan. 31.— Prime Minister Hughes annsunced at a luncheon given him recently by the faculty of Melbourne university {hat the Federal government was prepared {o spend up to $2,500.000 if necessary on the establishment of an institution for scientific research in relation fo industry, Mr. Hughes said that it had been shown what potential wealth there was in Australia, but the Aus- tralian people were practically in their swaddling clothes—economically they were in their school davs. He thought with a national laboratory Australians could utilize science in opening up new avenues of industrial effort. They could increase the productivity of the country from fifteen to twenty per cent. “The Commonweaith Government,” he went on, “will endeavor to coordin- ate the universities in the various states in this direction. We are nof committed to details. As far as pos sible we will avail ourselves of the ability and services of the scientific men in our own industries, but if nee- essary to strengthen the staff it can be Teinforced from outside. I will make inquiries during my visit abroad but in any case the government with- out delay will take the necessary steps to give the institution a star Mr. Hughes suggesed that the Mel- bourne professors invite representa- tives of the universities in the other states to meet them in Melbourne at an early date to comsider the whole question. “The government.” he declared, " “will give $2,500,000 if nec v, L that deiiberately. It is the best investment Australia could make.” . S. WANTS HIPPOLITO VILLA.

Berlin, Jan. 21.—The big suburban city of Lichtenberg, a few mlies from Berlin, whose population is almost ex- working classes, has, during the past few months, been perfecting a system of’ municipal ownership of foodstuffs which is perhaps the most compre- hensive in Germany. It has not only taken charge of and control over certain kinds of foods, as other municipalities have done, but it has become salesman as well, has opened municipal stores and markets all over the city, has done much to keep prices down within reach of its inhabitants and vet has made enough profit to enable it to keep its stocks replenished. Distributed Through Merchants. Where is has been found inadvis- able for the city to sell the food it- self, it has been distributed through merchants who have been permitted to charge only stipulated prices and to make a profit no larger than the city itself would make. The city now maintains four stor for the sale of meat, sausage, fats and bacon, four egg stores, and two potato stores. Four more of the later are to be added in a short time, as soon as the expected increased demand for potatoes comes. The city has been able to make ad- vantageous contracts with packers for both meat and fats, and of late is selling to about 20,000 families. When- ever a shortage has been felt, such as clusively drawn from the overdraft of $477.87 for repairs in the | Was the case with fat recently, Lich- fire department.

A contract to s hter them has already been awarded Of late the city s added to stock by putting in rice. beans, peas ana oat flakes by the hundredweight and is selling them at a small margin of profit at its meat stores. Until after Christmas the price of munici- pal eggs was four cents apiece—as compared with eight to nine cents in other parts of Greater Berlin—but now it has advanced to four and a half cents. Potatoes Purchased. The city has just purchased an enormous quantity of potatoes, half of which it has stored away, and the other half of which has been dis- tributed among regular provision dealers to be sold at specified prices. The city has also sold huge amounts of fruit. In addition to selling outright the things enumerated, Lichtenberg has supplied Jocal merchants with great quantities of noodles, condensed milk, sardines, vegetables and macaroni which it, as a wholesale buyer, has been procure advantageously.

S.—Bombardment by German long range is-inch guns has a greater moral than material effect on the towns bombarded, writes @ corre- spendent from France. This is due to the great amount of waste space in towns, for a shell has just as much of a chance of hitting a vacant lot as a building. The Germans, them- selves, in the opinion of the writer, know how little material damage their shells do, for after shelling these towns they generally fcllow up with an air raid. But they know its moral re- sults. In the extreme range firing. the Germans fire only when the wind is favorable to them. The noise of the great shell is distinctly trying on the nerves of the people. As open towns lie a good distance back of the French lines, the Germans get their naval| guns well forward, with the result that they are usually sought out by the Irench guns. The main drawhack of these bhowmn- bardments of open tow German point of view, their expense These great shells run in price up to several thousand doliars each. One lesson of the war is that it costs more te destroy a village than to build it. At one point the Germuns battered a viaduct to pieces with 17- inch and 9-inch howitzers. This cost them nearly sixty giant shells and countless 9-inch shells to say nothing | of a rain from ficld guns.
