LONDON 'U.Rl - - Jnver.: ion'
and impro\ed ireihixb. of the Hi -
Ue-known salvage department. of
the British AdmiralK during th(
first year of war resulted in sal-
vaging off home; coasts of appro-
ximately .101) ships, of 50Qt0;yj

OO0,O(jO or niMi Ij W,0(A),000 per
month for the war year.
Only about hall 61 these 100
vessels were actual war casualties
it was said. The remaining 50
which went ashore or became in-
volved in difficulties were routine
casuals of the sea.
It is is assumed that (he 30
ships saved were all British, then
the admiralty may rla-rn that it
has salvaged 13 pi i cent of the
total number of British vessels
£-ink by the enemy since the out-
break ;ot tvav. On the huuiral as-
sumption that ihe 50; war easuai-
"ties included some Allied or neu-
tral ships, then ihe number sal-
vaged1 is approximately T per cent
of the tctal British, Allied and
neutral vessels sunk.

One Doctor Optimistic
Dr. Bertram I'. Brown, director
I California, state department of
public health, said recently that
' "there is every reason to believe
! that he public health and medical
: scrvicvs that have been applied
i Jurinsf the past 20 years have pro-
! uti'eed a gcoup of young men who
In M " led better immunized

In the respect, public health of-

i -e inomie f.e tor was not the only
tone affecting nutrition. Poor

I The answer, according to Dr.
! Borsook, is the authorization of a

solely with nutrition.
Just as anexample, ho said, "an
effective national nutrition pro-

foods with vitamins and minerals

as the Food Stamps Plan could
bring about eradication of pella-

Loses Farmers
BLOOMINGTON, 111. (U.R)- Mc-
Lean county, of which this city is
the seat, said to be one of the
richest agricultural areas in the
country, suffered a loss of 157
farms in the past 10 years due to
merging of small farm units to
form larger ones of greater acre-
age, according to the 1940 census.
Leading in the number of re-
ductions was Randolph township,
which lost 36 farming units. Bell-
flower township was next with 20
fewer farms than 10 years ago.
Hudson township last 17 farms,
Arrowsmith, 15, and Allin town-
ship, 13.
Bloomington township, immedi-
ately surrounding the county seat,
however, gained 1(5 farms, largely
due to reductions in the size of
individual farms around the city.
Listed as I arms by the 1940
census was every land tract of
three acres or more, or any tract
with a net annual income of'$200.
This definition of the word
"farm" tended to increase the
number of small farms within
city and town limits.
The total of all small farms
found within city and village
limits in <iie county by the census
enumerators jumped from 145 in
1930 to 171 in 1940, but agricul-
tural statisticians regarded the*?
figures as unimportant because of
the small production of these
farms.
The number of fauns outside
city and village limits, chose of
agricultural importance to tne
county; was 3.730, a net loss of
157 for the 10-year period. Only
six townships showed gains and
tliey were all near towns where
ownership' of small land tracts
has been encouraged.
A definite back-to-the-lana*
movement within the county,
which began in the early part of
the last decade, during the d'epres
sion, tended to increase the num«
;;fi'
ber of aii : i, i-ims, ihe census
shows, but ti.is was counteracted
by a ueiid toward larger farms
during the latter years. si
