On certain nights each week the Tokyo radio broadcaster gives English lessons. He believes practice with foreigners an effective method. But how can « Japanese be- ginner start a conversation with a foreigner? The broadcaster knows how. "When you are in a crowded street car," says he, "observe an agree- able-look! foreigner and draw close to him. Gently step on his toes and say, 'Excuse me. The foreigner will reply, 'Don't mention it' Then you can begin an instructive conversation, using all the English words you know." In China you encounter pidgin Eng- 14h, a kind of baby talk. You enter a barber shop and this is the conversa- tion: "Mornin', barber man." "Mornin', Master. Wanchee cuttee heh?" "Yes; no. wanchee cuttee too muchee., Can cuttee littee." "Ol ligh.. My savvy.

Pidgin English was started on its inglorious career by European traders several centuries ' ago. The traders were too lazy or too incapable to learn Chinese; so they invented this infan- tile gibberish, which the Chinese tradespeople learn, thinking it good English. i Old Thoroughfares In Paris Undergoing Improvements Paris.--The narrow, twisting streets of picturesque old Paris are doomed to disappean. They are being widen- ed in accordance with the program for public improvements, for whica $20, 000,000 has been appropriated by the French Parliament. Fourteen thororghfares are either to be widened or extended during the next two years. Enlarging the Rue de Belleville will cost $80,000, and ex- tension of the Rue Damremont to the Boulevard Ney will eost $120,000. Widening of the Rue Saint-Jacques from the Val-de-Grace will cost $400,- 000; extension of the Rue d'Anjou to the Rue du Rocher will cost $1,280,000, .

Wickford, an Essex market town with a population of 3,000, has only one policeman.

Milk which is supplied in British schools to 800,000 children at the rate of one-third of a pint each is sold to the schools at 50 cents a gallon. Telegraph forms, which are supplied free in the post offices, are wasted to the number of 2,000,000 every year in Gt. Britain.

London is growing so rapidly that some experts estimate that its popu- lation will grow to 20,000,000 in a radius of fifteen miles of Charing Cross within the next ten years.

We are influenced to a greater ex- tent than we realize by our surround- ings. Children are particularly sensi- tive in this regard. Surely a home in and around which flowers are grown is a better place to bring up children than a home where no attention what- ever is paid to these friends of the plant kingdom. As the twig is bent the tree is Inclined is an old saying and very applicable in connection with the training of children. If children art taught to love flowers and to be- come familiar with them, their hearts will be filled with love for these things which will leave less room in their hearts and minds for the things that hurt and destroy. We frequently meet with the objec- tion that gardens and flowers cost too much or that they take too much time. The truth is that it is not so much a matter of money or time as it is of de- sire and disposition, If we are dis- posed to have gardens and flowers and really desire to have attractive home surroundings, we will 'have them no matter how busy we may be.

Like the Missis- sippl, the Yangtze is the largest stream in the country; like the Colo- rado, it flows through the deepest gorges; like the Potomac, it had, un- til very recently, the capital, Nanking, a city of historic associations, Compared with the other great riv- ers of the world, the 3,000-mile length of the Yangtze is exceeded by the Mis- sissippl-Missouri, the Amazon and the Nile. In volume it ranks third, after the Amazon and the Congo. But in one respect it leads all others: with its tributary rivers, lakes and canals it constitutes the inland water system most used by man as a carrier of com- merce. The Yangtze drains, in all, some 770,000 square miles, an area equal to one quarter that of the United States. In its basin live 175,000,000 people, one tenth of the population of the entire: world. A broad, deep, natural water- way for ships serves a teeming, civil ized population, living on fertile, culti- vated soil in a temperate climate. These people produce and exchange goods with. the outside world. Little wonder, the geographical soclety says, that the Yangtze is considered of strategic as well as economic import- ance, Ea U.S. Leads As Oil Producer Soviet Russia Next on List 'Washington.--Soviet Russia, during 1931, stepped into second place as a world producer of crude petroleum, with 151,900,000 barrels, although the world output decreased approximate- ly 40,000,000 barrels. The United States continued to lead with 850,275,000 barrels or 62.1 per cent of the entire world produc- tion, Venezuela, which was second as a world producer in 1929 and 1930, dropped into third place with 118, 770,000 barrels. Roumania was fourth with 47,600,000 barrels and CASTORIA | EEE ™ Pérsia fifth with 44,300,000 in 1981. Other countries ranged from 35. 500,000 barrels for the Netherland East Indies and 33,039,000 for Mexico Report World in Estimated Num- ber of Calls Per Capita in 1930 A recent report just issued shows that 20,000 were added to Canada's already large number of teleph users, although unsatistactory busi- ness conditions did affect the telephone industry. This increase was the smallest annual growth in a period of 16 years. Nevertheless, there was a decided advance recorded. The East- ern Provinces all showed increases, und though there were declines in the Prairie Provinces, the number of in- struments in use rose during the year by 20,039. The number of teleph in use at the end of the year was 1,402,861. The average number of telephones per thousand of population was in 1930 the largest of any country in 'he world except the United States. ihe average in Canada was 141.1 per thou- sand, while in the United States it was 164. The total number of tele. phones was exceeded only by the Un-| ited States, Germany, and Gt. Britain and Northern Ireland. The number of telephones in the United States was 20,068,028, in Germa:.y 8,182,305, and in Britain and Northern Ireland 1,- 886,726, the figures all being for 1929. The only other countries approaching Canada's density were New Zealand with 103 and Denmark with 96 per thousand. In estimated number of telephone calls per capita Canada led the world. Completed calls or conversations in the Dominion in 1930, according to an estimate by the official statisticians, averaged 250.6 per capita and 1,872 per telephone. The United States with 231 conversations per capita, and New Zealand with 212, were the only other countries with averages of over 150 in 129. The estimated number of complet. | ed calls in Canada during 1930 was 2,626,752,602, including 87,496,867 long distance calls. The long distance calls were actual counts and the local calls were estimates based on counts raade periodically by systems operat- ing almost 90 per cent. of all tele- phones in Canada. o> Bankers Finance Air Patrol La Plata, Argentina.--Aerial police to guard the frontiers against smug- glers and to check cattle rustlers and bandits soon may be introduced into Argentina, Prominent bankers met here recently and voted to fi the Users of Telephone | | Classified Advertising .
