This Troop was the direct result

Patrol around them, and they are
now both Patrol Leaders in the new
Troop.

Tho leading powers participating
are: Great Britain, the United

japan and Russia. Others are
Argentina, TJruguay, Peru, Finland,
Bolivia, Belgium, Denraarlc, Chile
and Poland.
The League Assembly adopted a
resolution at its final meeting on
September 29 calling on the govern-
ments invited to the 1932 disarma-
ment conference to "give proof ef
their desire for a successful issue of
efforts to insure and organize peace
and to refrain from any measure in-
volving an increase in armaments."
The truce originally was advo-
cated by Foreign Minister Dino
Grand! of Italy in the form of a
"gentleman's agreement" to sus-
pend virtually alt armament build-
ing on land and sea and in the air
for one year as a- gesture of faith
in the forthcoming conference.
The fact that the truce has been
made effective is interpreted here
as an optimistic augury for the suc-
cess of the disarmament meeting in
February and as counteracting to
some extent the warlike situation
existing in the Far East.
Uses Waste Molasses
To Produce Fertilizer
Honolulu.—The perfection of a new
process for converting waste 'molas-
ses into fertilizer was announced re-

rector of the chemistry department

perimental station here.
The accomplishment is the resun.

Dr H. L. Lyon of Use experimental
station staff that the addition of the
rock phosphate to the compound re-

and sulphuric acid might produce a
commercial fertilizer. The laboratory
work has resulted, Dr. Hance said, in
the development of a compouncl which
contains all the essential elements of

use in sugar plantations.
In addition, it can be produced very
