DR.. CRoWELL's LECTURE.
Discusses Commercial Position of the
Leading Industrial Nations.

Before the school Of comparative Juris-
prudence and diplomacy of Columbian Uni
versity yesterday afternoon DR.. Crowell OF
the bureau of statistics delivered lecture
on the Commercial Position Of the Lead
ing Industrial Nations" $50.
He took the position that 1t had unfor-
tunately become the habit of cont temporary
writer's to make the military strength Of
nations the index to comparative strength.
and to lay less emphasis on the old-fash-
Toned practice Of measuring national pros
perity by the general level If individual
purchasing power.
The leading nations had reached their
position of primacy, he said, by developing
out of an agricultural economy into an in
dustrial state-a policy III which agricu!-
ture, industry and commerce e6mprised the
triple factors of determining importance.
The. agricultural economy failed in two
respects-it did not admit of a sufficient
division of labor to bring, out the skill of
people and it did not provide successfully
for the accumulation ofssurpihs capital
Hence the transition1to the industrial
state widened Immensely the scope and
variety of individual enterprisetat he sane
time that 1t multiplied at new ratio tie
wealth and economic strength of the nation
as whole. no. rss-

A SCHOOL BOY DIGS DOWN To FIND FOOD

by II bright, clever youth, which shows his ability
to go to the bottom Of trouble and rectify it.
He says: II attended high school for three

good health; my food was not properly digest !:
this caused headache, and hence could not study.
i tried taking exercise in the foot ball field but
was unable to stand 1t as 1t always increased my
headache.
During the summer holidays I began eating
Grape Nuts and the benefit immediate, the
headache stopped, my food digested properly so
that had no more stomach trouble, my general
health improved, my weight increased and my
brain was clear and bright.
The result was that this summer I procured
junior leaving and junior matriculation standing

CHINESE NEW YEAR.
Celestials Continue the Annual Fes.
tivities Begun Yesterday.

The scenes of gayety which began in
Chinatown yesterday morning continued
throughout the day and far into the night.
While the celestials celebrate the New Year
for two or three weeks in their own coun-
try, the observance here will be brought to
a close the first part of next week, and
members of the local colony will settle
down to business for another year.
All Of the stores in Chinatown last night
where the Chinese residents throughout the
city gather and exchange gossip were
thronged with celestials, who paused at
each place long enough to extend the Gus
tomary greetings to the proprietors and to
partake Of liquid refreshments and the
other goodies dear to the Chinaman, which
were displayed on a table for callers 1t
was noticeable that there were very few
Of the celestial callers who partook of the
liquid refreshments to such an extent that
they were unable to care for themselves
and none of them fell into the hands of the
police. A number of Americans, however
who visited the establishments INDUCED in
the wet goods too frequently and were
soon overcome, but the number was not
large.
known to all the members Of the local COL
ony, he having done duty in and around
Chinatown for number OF years, piloted
a party through that section last night, and
visitors in truly hospitable manner The
first place visited was that Of the Quong
Kee Company of 1913 Pennsylvania avenue,
of which Lee Quong Is the manager. Lee
was entertaining crowd of his own coun-
trymen but he excused himself from them
while he talked with the foreigners Lee
speaks excellent English, having been in
this country since 1880, and he claims the
distinction of being the first Chinaman to
enter Sunday school in this city as a
pupil.
A visit was also paid to Kim Lei Yuen. a
merchant at 325 Pennsylvania avenue, and
after introductions were made cigars were
passed and the visitors were invited to in
dulge in Chinese candies nuts and other
goodies: The Hong Chong Company, at 346
Pennsylvania avenue, was also visited. and
the callers were made welcome as thew
were also by Tuck Chong, a merchant at
>342 Pennsylvania avenue.
At nearly every place visited small earth
ern ware pots which contained burning
sandal wood, occupied prominent position
on a table and gave forth pleasing otlor.
The wood Is most expensive, and retails
for IS cents pound.
There are about eight Chinese societies in
this city, and from now until the New Year
season ends they will entertain their mem
bers by feasts. The majority of the gather
ings for special entertainment will occur
Sunday.

work of arranging the drawings for inspec-
ton has been. going on. THE directors
room of the American Security, and Trust

POLICE DECLARE WAR
SUPERINTENDENT ORDERS SUP
PRESTON OF GAMBLING.
Precinct Detectives Have Instructions
to Look Out for Bookmakers and
Policy Players.

War has been declared by the police on
the policy people and the makers Of hand
books" on the races. Detective Watson,
who was assigned to this work for a long
time, was transferred to the White House
several weeks ago, and until within a few
days no particular member Of the force
was charged with this duty. 1t having
come to the attention Of the department
that policy players and race-horse gam
blers had made a fresh start in business
Major Sylvester directed the precinct de-
tectives to suppress operations in the Dis
trict There is a detective in each precinct,
and these men are to be held responsible
for the conduct of affairs in their jurisdic-
ton so far as violations Of the gambling
laws are concerned. Since the destruction
and subsequent rebuilding of Jackson City,
1t Is stated, poncy. writer's and runners
nave been doing more business here than
they have done In several years. The
making of handbooks on the races has also
been the source of complaint and annoy
ance to the police.
1t is stated that it is difficult matter to
bring about successful prosecutions in the
handbook cases, because of the manner in
which the business is conducted. Policy
shops across the river both at Jackson
City and RoSslyn, are doing hourishing
business 1t is stated, and they must neces-
sariiy depend upon Washington people for
support. Under the new order Of things
the violators Of law will have more men
to evade in order to escape prosecution,
and when the precinct detectives become
acquainted with the representatives Of the
gambling establishments q number of ar
rests are likely to be made. It Is alleged
that those who are engaged in making
handbooks on the races collect money from
the sporting element and either take it
across the river to ST. Asaph's or telephone
the amounts to be bet upon the different
horses.
The enforcement Of the law against gam
bling in other forms is also to be looked
after by the precinct detectives. 1t is
known that games of poker are permitted
in places in the business section, and raids
in the near future are among the proba-
bilities.

ENTER A PROTEST.
Objections to Proposed Lease Of Oyster
Beds in virginia.

The oystermen along the lower Potomac
are up in arms against proposition, now
pending before the Virginia state legisla-
ture, for the leasing to private parties of
the natural oyster beds in Curriomen bay
and in parts of Nomini which have here
tofore been open ground, from which any
one was allowed to take oysters II he had
license from the state.
1t Is claimed by the advocates OF the
measure that the beds mentioned are now
depleted. and that 1t would be for the bene-
fit Of the state to lease them, SO that they
could be replanted with seed oysters. The
oystermen deny the statement that the beds
are depleted. and claim there are thousands
Of young oysters there that will be market
able in a year or two. They are making
every effort to defeat the measure, and
should 1t become a law 1t is feared the
oystermen will only be kept OF these beds
by force. The matter II attracting much
attention and the outcome is looked for
with interest
