NOT ALL GLOOM.

The regular monthly crop report is
sued by the government is out, and it
cannot fairly be called cheerful. There
is no doubt that corn has been badly
injured in some parts of the West, and
though there will be enough corn there
will not be the quantity that was eX-
pected. But this Is a big country, and
there will be enough to eat in it, in
crop. There are people who will not
look on small corn crop as an unmiti-
gated evil. These are they who will have
corn, cattle and pigs to sell. A very
cheerful report concerning the feelings
of the cattle-owners in New Mexico is
made by the manager of the Ell Paso
Union Stock Yard Company, who tells
what he saw in a recent trip over New
Mexico: 1.-THE grass is like a wheat
field everywhere 1 have been and the
cattle are as fat as can be. I have
been travelling over New Mexico for
twenty-five years and have never seen
things so prosperous. Rain has been
more plentiful this year than ever be-
fore and there is grass enough now to
last all the winter. The cattlemen are
the happiest people in the country and
they should be. They have had no mis-
fortunes to speak of this year and have
the promise of favorable seasons all
the fall and winter. This almost
doubles the value of their possessions
and that would make any man happy"
Grief in Kansas, happiness in New
Mexico. So runs the world away.

COLONEL. II YON Else.

| Some queer folks have got together
| in Suffolk. Virginia, and have organ
| lied Society for the Suppression of
Spurious Titles. They start off their
constitution by saying that, Believing
that the indiscriminate bestowal of
titles, regardless Of the recipients real
claim to the distinction suggested by
the appellation, is being carried much
too far in this and other communities,
this society is organized with view to
the elimination Of such titles except in
cases where the person so addressed can
prove a bona-fide right to have his
name prefixed by word suggesting
distinction. And they add: We be-
of spurious titles is degrading to those
worthy of such honors and cheapens
the value of such distinctions, which
should be bestowed only upon those
whose service, accomplishments or at
tainments have justified Fames no.
tice.
This last belief evidently doesn't
mean exactly what it says, for the APP
plication of spurious titles is not de
grading to those worthy of such hon
ors." But sincerity Is better than lu-
cidty, and the believers are evidently
sincere. How much they will accom-
plish remains to be seen, but it will
probably not be much. 1t will not be
easy to degrade a spurious Colonel
to Mister, even If he happens to be
worthy of such honors. Once Colonel
always a Colonel, and 1t doesn't make
much difference how the title is ac-
ulIired

pATEM EMIT TESTS

! Perhaps New Haven can learn some
thing more about pavements. in spite
of the fact that her opportunities for
study of them have already been so
great. She may be interested In the re-
suits of careful test that has been
made in Boston to determine the COM
narrative heat ra diat ton of four kinds
of street pavement--wood, asphalt,
granite block and macadam. The aver
age temperature of the macadam was
found to be 1902 degrees; of asphalt, 113
degrees of granite, 115 degrees, and of
wood, 124 degrees. This shows that the
general belief as to the excessive heat
of asphalt is erroneous, for wood is the
hottest material in use. Further tests
seemed to show that the macadam
pavement has several advantages over
the asphalt particularly. 1t retains wa
ter longer after it has been sprinkled
and it is much easier to keep the dust
laid on It, Theoretically asphalt might
kind of pavement, but practically it is
worse than macadam in this respect,
owing to the difficulty of keeping the
surface properly wet. Besides constant
travel has the effect of grinding the
asphalt into fine powder, and thus
produces dust all the time.
haven't really appreciated the merits
of the macadam pavement, 1t radiates
less heat than other pavements, but
perhaps it doesn't radiate as much
money for lobbyists and contractors as
some other kinds

Considered by countries, France car
was out little over a quarter that OF the
United Kingdom, being 81, 1872, 292 800 In
the twenty-yea period to 1870 this more
than doubled, standing at that time ST.

was doubled again, the figures for 1890

ing grown from $60S, 312, 500 since 1850.
Great Britain Is third, though her debt
shows a decrease from the figures of
1850, which were $40S2, 596 6O3, while now
they are $4,000, 1926, 304. Italy comes
fourth with a debt of $2,5S3, 9SS, $50, a
net increase of $3.50, 32S,7S0 in forty
years. Austria stands fifth, with ST.
697 ,14O, a net increase for the forty
years of $1,093, 942, $40. The United States
is sixth, the figures for 1890 being ST..
1911 ,257, net gain in forty years of
$1,044,259,4S3. From these figures it will
be seen that forty years ago the United
Kingdom had vastly greater debt
than France, Italy, Austria, Russia and
the United States combined. In fact,
it was more than twice the combined
debt of France, Italy and Austria. In
1890, however, the combined debt of
these three countries was more than
three times as great as Was that Of the
United Kingdom.
The debt of the United States is COM
paratively small, and the resources of
the country are very large. The per
capita average of national debt here is
only $14.52, and the per capita interest
charge is A cents. Guess we can stand

BIG ID EBTS.

The world is getting pretty we'll
mortgaged. The Bankers Monthly has
been studying the national debts. 1t
finds that the national debt of the
world in 1898 was but 2,433, $50, 900. In
1920 it had grown to $7,299, 100000 For
ty-two years later, in 1862, the amount
was S13, 49,, $4,000, and twenty years
later, in 1882 it had practically doubled,
amounting to $26,a49, 9O1, 600. The esti-
mate for last year, 1900, showed a still
further increase of s5,000,000, coo, the fig
ures being SS1 POI, 759, 600. 1t is needless
to say that the increase in the combined
national debt has shown a much great
err growth than has the increase of pop
ulation, nor has the growth always
come heaviest in the years of war.
From 1872 to 1882 was a period of COM
parative peace, and yet in that decade
there was an increase in the national
debt of almost $4,000, 600, 900.
