Supplies of wheat In Canada, the tea, Argentina and Aus Uni tralla are sufficient to assure Importers Im-porters that their requirements can be more than filled and the possibility possibi-lity of material shipments from Russia lends an uncertainty to the situation which doe not encourage large forward commitments. However, How-ever, the relaxation of milling restrictions re-strictions for the remainder of the season In Germany, and declining stocks of domestic grain generally appear to be resulting in some Increase In-crease In current requirements and Autos Killed More Persons Than War, Statistics Show Automobile killed more Americans Ameri-cans in the last eighteen months than the World War did during a similar period. Motor cars sent over 7,345 children to their death In 1830. This appalling casualty list can be cut considerably by giving children thorough training in safety, both at school and at home, believes Liberty Magazine. . "Figures, compiled by one of the great Insurance companies, Indicate Indi-cate that 7,345 children of ages up to fourteen years were killed In 19- 30," writes Liberty editorially In the current issue. "In the same age group 223,659 wore injured more than a fifth of the total number of Injured, of all ages. "The same report points out that, in the last eighteen months,- 60,900 persons have been killed In automobile automo-bile accidents In the United States, and that during eighteen months of the World War, 60,610 Americans were killed In action or died of wounds. There's not much difference differ-ence in the total. "One of the most reassuring Bights we see nowadays Is that school children, drilled and regimented by vtMnmluA t maintain a mnrA UfHvft buying interest during the next few JJl months than was in evidence during December and January. The decline in Russian shipments, which set In about mid-November and continued into January, resulted result-ed in a marked decrease In the world total of wheat and flour shipments ship-ments and an easing of the pressure of these shipments on the world market before shipments of the new crop of the Southern Hemisphere became large. During recent weeks shipments from Argentina and Australia Aus-tralia have mounted rapidly until the total of overseas shipments has risen to a level about as high as that maintained during the fall months, despite an almost complete cessation of exports from the United States. o "All Quiet," Story In line while traffic is held up for them. Another is the ever-present sign, 'Slow School,' which motorists motor-ists see so often it should, even If it doesn't, become an automatic reminder re-minder of the need of caution. "Rill the best results will come from training within the schools by teachers, and at home by parents. Children, after all, must protect themselves primarily by "i keeping out of the way of automobiles. The most careful , driver can hardly guard against the possibility of a child's darting out from the road side or from behind another car." . ii ii o Some American Observations By Jay Taylor.

III ii mill - J. Nile "Washburn, Editor. THE ALUMNI BASKETBALL TEAM In winning the Inter-mountaln A. A- U. basketball championship the Lchl boys have done a truly meritorious thing. From the point or view of basketball technique alone this achievement speaks well for their training ad ability. The field over which they won included some of the west's athletic luminaries and furnished competition of the highest high-est caliber. From the broader aspect of co-operation and teamwork this honor is likewise significant. No man can live unto himself and live adequately. ade-quately. These young men are learning: early the essential truth that each must contribute his bit to the common purpose. Personal triumph must be merged with universal achievement. Much credit for the feat Is due Mr. Powers and Mr. Robison. The financial details were worked out by the former; the technical matters were handled by the latter. It is no slight responsibility to guide a group of athletes through so ambitious an undertaking. The project necessitated some outlay of money and a great deal of time.

As this situation has become a serious menace to beauty travel, billboards' consequently represent a formidable foe of the nation's prosperity. Such, at least. Is the opinion of J. Horace McFarland, chairman of the roadside development committee of the American Civic Association, who writes in the current Issue of Liberty magazine: "All too many of the 'rooks' of which our anthem slnga have been painted with signB begging us to buy something. All too many of the 'rills' trickle unseen behind great poster boards. "The 'woods' are fringed with announcements an-nouncements of mushrooms, chewing chew-ing gum, bacon, paint The Hem-pled Hem-pled hills' are not seldom hung with signs, the message of which, is lost in the anger and disgust felt at the sight. "The billboard is also bad business busi-ness for AmeWca. This Is because It lessens or obscures for wolly selfish ends the beauty of the scenery scene-ry which, when uninjured, la a tremendously productive asset for profit as well as for patriotism. The billboard is costly to America, in Its Influence on profitable beauty travel. tra-vel. "The powerful General Federation of Women's Clubss with its S.OOOT,-000 S.OOOT,-000 members, has long opposed the billboards, and the chairman of Its committee on roadside beauty urges Its members to 'favor firms which favor scenery... buy products not advertised in the landscape. "The women of America are said to represent 85 per cent of Its purchasing pur-chasing power. Is It good advertising advertis-ing to use a form that angers organized or-ganized women, as well as many possibly most patriotic men? The billboard la bad advertising. "But enough has been said to arouse citizens, communities, and states toward this misapplication of the advertising thought so that it may not much longer be permitted anywhere in America destructively to reduce the beauty of the land; to make Itself a nuisance on the highways and to make business worse when business needs to be made better.'
