The average housewife walks nearly 5,000 miles per year pottering about the house, according to statistics compiled by research workers in an effort to ascertain why so many women suffer from thick ankles and flat feet. The housewifes daily average is 23,000 steps, which works out at about 13 miles. Converted into terms of a lifetime, the average housewife walks approximately 200,000 miles about her duties.

It is nown, however, for the prompt payments on its debts. better-k- The loan from the United States was not truly a war debt, since Finland during the World war did not exist as a nation that could incur debts; it was still a part of the crumbling Russian empire. The money was borrowed to establish ,the new Finnish national regime set up in 1918, after a successful revolution. Though one of Europes dwindling y nations, Finland family of is not small. With the dismemberment of Poland, the republic takes its place as the sixth largest country on the continent. It is the size of France, three times the size of England. It would rank next to California and Texas in the United States. Throughout Finlands 148,000 square miles, however, the Finns are scattered with spacing. In no district does the population density exceed of that for England, and the countrys average is only a twenty-fifth of Englands average. 'Northernmost Nation. Finland is the worlds farthest north nation. It lies within the latitudes of Greenland, which is sheathed in ice. But Finland is covered instead with forests, principally the pine and spruce in international demand for timber, and a smaller quantity of the birch which makes Finlands superior plywood. With its intricate network of lakes and waterways to float logs to the coast, qnd sawmilling as a leading industry, Finland can lead all Europe in the export of sawn timber. of Finlands More than four-fiftthe from comes forests, as exports lumber, woodpulp, cellulose, paper, plywood, or wood manufactures; such as matches, spools, skis, and airplane propellers. Forest conservation insures that man shall not cut more timber than a years growth can replace. The Ice age has left still fresh footprints in its northward retreat across Finland: lakes, 65,000 of them. They occupy almost a tenth of the area within the countrys boundaries. On the southern border between Finland and the Soviet Union stretches broad Ladoga, the largest lake in Europe. .The farmer, as a rule, is a forester and a fisherman as well, with woods around his land except where water gives him a broader blue hois typical rizon.

Less than a tenth of the land is cultivated, but it yields the thrifty Finn a sufficiency of rye and potatoes, with enough fodder for his live stock. The cattle, in turn, supply butter and cheese, distributed throughout northern European countries largely by societies.

C. WNU Service. ; Bananas largely re- are' sponsible for the fifteen-mil-lion-doll- ar harbor development project on Costa Ricas Pacific coast, about sixty miles south of Puntarenas, western' terminus of the railroad. trans-Costa-Ric- Last year nearly an stems or stalks of bananas were shipped from Costa Rica alone, 80 per cent of the countrys production coming to the United ' States. Of the total Costa Rican export, 1,151,569 stems were from the Pacific region and 3,803,122 from Limon, now the principal port and the Carribean coast terminus of the Costa Rica railroad. Blight and soil exhaustion have caused the abandonment of many of the large banana plantations in the Atlantic region, and the rapid development of the Pacific coast plantations is responsible for the additional harbor development. There has been a gradual decline in Costa Ricas export of bananas. Last years total of 4,954,691 was only a little over half that of 1926. Also, the importation of cocoa beans into the United States last year was less than half the 10,000,000 pounds of 1937. On the other hand, the importation of Costa Rican coffee by the United States has almost doubled in the past three years, showing a total for last year of nearly 14,000,000 pounds, though Englanc still is the principal consumer. Coffee moved from Cuba to Costa Rica and rapidly became the principal crop, outdistancing .within 3(1 years the banana which had been introduced into the New world early in the colonial period. Bananas long covered a region about twice the area of Rhode Island in the Atlantic region; but cocoa and other products now are supplanting them. 5,000,000 NOTE: Readers who are now using Sewing Books No. 1, 2 and 3 will be happy to learn that No. 4 is ready for mailing; as well as the editions of No. 1, 2 and 3.
