Many Tropical Fruits Found. A great variety of tropical fruits is to be found in Porto Rico. Oranges, pineapples and bananas are the prin- cipal ones. Millions of oranges and pineapples are exported to the United States every year. The oranges are large, juicy, and sweet, and they have a delicate flavor. The fruit is at its height in January, February and March. Porto Rican pineapples are the finest in the world. Ot r fruits which flourish are the lime, lemon, cit- ron, date, fig, guava, tamarind, lechosa and mamey.

YERKES TO LECTURE UPON PSYCHOLOGY IN EDUCATION "Psychological Examing in Relation to Education" is the subject upon which Prof. Robert M. Yerkes of Har- vard, will speak at 4:15 o'clock tomor- row in Tappan hall. Professor Yerkes is chiefly distin- guished for his researches in the field of comparative psychology,. and is the author of "Introduction to Psychol- ogy," "The Dancing Mouse," and "A Point Scale for Measuring Intellig- ence.". Professor Yerkes is editor of "The Journal of Animal Behavior," and has recently been elected president of the American Psychological association. As pschologist to the psychopathic de- partment of the Boston state hospital,l he has direction of all examinations and is therefore practically concerned with the development. of mental tests7 and their application. The lecture is open to all interested in the subject. Robert Watson, '18M, was sent to 'the otology department of the hospital yesterday morning. D. J.

"Offered by the richest country in the world and backed by ample collateral, it is in tlhe highest class for safety, and at the price offered yields six per cent. It has the further valuable privilege of conversion into a 20 year five and one-half per cent bond of the British government, a bond which will undoubtedly command a, high premium after the war." Continuation of Prosperity In order to make business good, normal purchases by railroads are re- quired. War orders for the last two years have taken the place of rail- road purchases. To meet the peace conditions with war buying stopped, there will be a great demand for rail- way buying of equipment, improve- ments and extensions. The roads are not in a position to make good for the present needed transportation facil- ities. The railroads are short at least 100,- 000 cars needed to care for their cur- rent transportation. It is this short- age, combined with inadequate term- inal facilities, which is causing the widespread congestion and makes nec- essary the embargoes. In addition to this replenishment, which would bring the roads up to normal capacity, a yearly requirement of $300,000,000 for expenditures for equipment alone dur- ing the next three years would be is probably greater in that through our surplus capital we can be useful to England in preserving what she has already established. "An unofficial alliance with England and French capital would give greater safety and stability to our progress, and Europe's need of such support for a number of years following the war will insure us immediate results that otherwise could have only been ob- tained by long years of patient build- ing. In such co-operation tries our greatest opportunity, and it should not be endangered by faltering in the last stages of the conflict, or withdrawing the financial support that has been up to this time so splendidly extended.

It set what was declared to be a new high record for war relief contribu- tions from unidentified donors. The largest anonymous contribution for that purpose previously announced here was $100,000 for Jewish relief. ., .1 , A { join herself with creat Britian and France in an official financial alliance, must take a greater part in interna- tional banking, and must plan an ex- tension of credits for reconstruction and development purposes in other countries. The above policies were advocated by Samuel MacRoberts, ex- ecutive manager of the National City Bank of New York, and H. Parker Willis, secretary of the Federal re- serve board, at the seventh annual dinner of the Boston Chapter of the American Institute of Banking, held at the Hotel Somerset, a few days ago. Investments in other countries were urged by Mr. MacRoberts as the most effective means of controlling the ex- isting enormous gold supply in the United States. "Investments 'of cap- ital in foreign government securities in sufficient volume will protect our gold against the immediate effects of the inevitable reaction after the war, and at the same time will pre- vent an inflation of bank credits at home," he declared. Without the experience and banking facilities essential to export trade Mr. MacRoberts believed that the United States was in no position to dominate world commerce and that New York and dollar exchange would not replace London and pound ex- change in world finance. Bo of One of the most interesting features the organization of the Boston Sym- ston Symphony Orchestra Fund for Support of Aged Members Has phony Orchestra, which will appear in Hill auditorium Jan. 26, is its pension fund institution whereby veteran mem- bers of the orchestra upon retirement from age or illness are sure of an annual income which will keep them from want. The pension fund was or- ganized in 1900 by Wilhelm Gericke who was then conductor of the orches- tra. A number of gifts have been made to it and much more has been prom- ised. The members of the orchestra pay annual dues, and twice each win- ter a concert is given in Symphony hall, the entire proceeds of which are devoted to the fund. At the present time there are over twenty pensioners and the fund now amounts to several hundred thousand dollars. -Y I', fN IT FM Suit and Overcoat Si 1-'3 Off I 10-Year-Old Boy Bugles for Regiment London, Jan. 22.-A 10-year-old bug- ler plays every call in the Third Bat- talion King's African Rifles now on active service in East Africa. i I needed.
