WASHINGTON. A squadron of nine
wnr vessels has been formed to
patrol the waters of Central and South
America, operating as a distinct com
mand from either tho Atlantic or Pa
cific fleet. Rear Admiral Benjamin
C. Bryan hna hoisted his pennant on
tho Dolphin and formally token com
mand of the first Latin-American
Hquadron.
His forco consists of five light and
speedy cruisers, tlio Denver, Gulves

agara and Sacramento, with the Dol
phin, formerly the ofllclnl vessel of the
secretary of the navy as llngslilp.
The squadron will have Its buse at
the Canal Zone, which will enable It
to transfer In whole or In part from
the Atlantic to the I'r.citlc, jind makes
possible the speedy mobilization of an
adequate force to meet any emergency.

resulted In the establishment at that

where milk and cream equivalent to

tles and cans of the fluid were labeled
"reconstructed" milk or cream and

Accommodations for 25,000 Inhabit

churches, hospitals, department stores,
restaurants, and nil the other ele

The Capital WiffLike Zoning System
THAT one of the best moves ever
made for Washington wns tho In
stallation of the zoning system of city
planning Is the opinion of Elbert J.
Frederick of St. Lnuls, a visitor. He
says the move hns attracted the atten
tion of dozens of large cities, which
are watching with eager interest the
effect of the zoning system at the na
tional capital,
"The system, although practically
new In St. Louis, has done wonders
for, tbat city," Mr. Frederick continued.
"Property values havo risen and havo
become stabilized by reason of the In
stallation of zoning, and men who were
bitterly opposed to the move at first
now give It their moat hearty commendation.
These Farmers Male No Large Profits
FIOURKS on farm profits covering
seven years In two areas and five
years In a third, made public by the
United States Department of Agri
culture show that comparatively few
of tho fnrmers In the groups studied
hnve been making Inrge profits during
tho recent years of comparatively
high prices.
The figures Indicate chiefly:
That the farmer's average return on
Investment Incrensed from 4 per cent
In 1018 to 7 per cent In 1018.
Thut most of them are making less
than $500 cash per year over and
above the things the farm furnishes
toward tho family living, which, how
ever, constitutes a very Important fuc
tor. The three groups of farms studied
aro located, respectively, In Washing
ton county, Ohio (25 farms, hill coun
try, seven years) ; Clinton County,
Indiana (100 farms, corn belt, seven
yeurs), and Dane county, Wisconsin,
(00 (arms, dairy region, five yeurs).

Latin-American Squadron
Admiral Bryan will have several thou
sand men under his command, and
tho character of the licet will permit
of the close. patrol even of shallow
tidal wnters.
It was explained at tho navy do
partment that the object of creating
the I.ntln-Amerlcnn squadron was to
centralize command of all vessels on
duty In those wnters and ellmlnnta
complications as to assignment of ves
sels for special duty there.
Secretary Daniels said that the ar
rangement hnd been completed after
consultation with admiral Rodman,
commanding the Pacific fleet, and Ad
miral Wilson, In commnnd In Atlantic
waters, and thnt it was designed to
simplify the tremendously extensive
patrol along the Latin-American coasts.
It is known, however, thnt the State
department bus shown great Interest
In the report from naval and other
sources of the recent disorders In
Honolulu, and the various exhibitions
of Ill-feeling aroused by the three cor

which has Involved, Chile, Peru and

The process used Is described as the
"cmulslflcntlon of butter fat obtained
from ununited butter In a solution of
skimmed milk powder, or diluted
evuporated milk."
A building 150 feet long by 51 feet
wide, was constructed and provided
with huge mixing vats, refrigerators
and bottling apparatus.

the mixing and careful tests made of
the product, ivhleh proved to be a lit

"Washington has a wonderful oppor
tunity to demonstrate the effectiveness
of the plan. The capital bus very few
manufacturing plants to stnrt with,
and Is so arranged as to present fewer
obstacles to a complete zoning system
than any other city in the country, If
not In the world. And you will find,
when the plnn is In full effect, that
the entire citizenship will agree thnt
It Is one of the best things thnt ever
happened for the city.
"The zoning system bnrs manufac
turing plants from Invading residential
sections, and thereby Insures the man
who buys a home against having a
boiler factory or some, other similar
plant established next door, or even
In the same neighborhood. On the
other bond, It secures to the mnnu
fncturlng element absolute domain
over certain sections, and leaves out
let for growth and development such
as any going concern Is bound to
need.
"With Washington fairly under the
zoning system, I predict that It will
becomo a model city to which ex
perts from all pRrts of the country
will be sent to obtain Idcus for zoning
other cities."
