Great Results Promised from In

SAVES GREAT EXPENDITURE
Its Installation Would Cost tho State
Only 81 100000 in Place OF aloI..

-systsm Would Be Nearly

Albany, N. Y, March Ito retain the
present canal, to save the State the pro-
posed expenditure of $1W 900, 900, to save
the immense present cost of maintenance,
to make the canals almost self-sustain-
ing and yet TO reduce the cost of trans
poertation per ton to boatmen and treble
the gross tonnage per yenr are some of
the results absolutely promised to the
Joint committees, on canals this after
noon by John Murray Mitchell. counsel
for the International Towing and Power
company. That the proposition is not
visionary was proven by the fact that
it is endorsed by r. Q. Blackwell, chief
engineer Of the power and mining de-
partment of the General Electric company.
and st. John Clark. engineer Of the Rapid
Transit committee of New York. The
proposition may be briefly stated as fol-
lows:
The State to construct, under n sys-
tenn of the International Towing and
Power company an elevated traction
way on the outside edge of tho tow
path. one rail above the other; thus the
motor cars thereon would pass and rcpasS
without Interference and would be oper-
ated by electricity.
They would maintain a speed of four
miles per hour as against the present
animal towaCc of one and one-half miles
per hour, and steam propulsion of about
two miles per hour.
Tho operation of such cars Is not TO in
torfere with the use of the towpath for
such as wish to continue towage by
animals.
| The corporation does not desire to foist
itself on the State but to merely allow
its system to be used the State to con
struct and forever own the system
| For the use of the motor in towing boats
the state is to receive 50 cents per ton
| from the boatmen. This. it is estimated
will net the State % cents per ton and yet
will save the boatmen % cents per ton
as compared with the present system OF
horses and mules. TO equip the Erie and
Champlain canals with s0-ton motors will
cost about s1.5D,0O0.
The company offers to allow the State
trial OF patented apparatus Mr.. Mitch
ell states:
zone great advantage that this PROPOSE
ton has over all others Is that the State
is certain that no railroad or transporta
ton company. will ever ba able to buy oil
absorb or control its operation. The plar
we offer to the State makes the State Itself

not only of the canal but the system o.

An Aid TO Grace.

Every woman would ike to be grace
full. but very few woman are BY ma
ture as graceful as they might be II
they would take little trouble In the
matter. English women, as a rule, are
fur behind French and Italian ladies
in grace of bearing, and the reason
probably is that their bodies are not
so carefully trained.
In Spain and Italy women of the
higher class are generally expert
swordswomen, for they esteem fencing
as one of the best possible athletic ex-
ercises, valuable alike for giving
strength and grace to the body and
alertness to the mind. Young girls,
therefore, are taught to fence as care
fully as their brothers and as accurate
ly, and there are many schools where
ladies practice not only with the foils,
but with the broadsword.
In America a few women of the
"smart set and a number OF the
younger actresses delight In fencing,
but this form of athletics is by no
means as popular as 1t deserves to be
among the girls, and yet those few who
take 1t up not only derive great phys
ical benefit from It, but find 1t most
fascinating and eXhilarating exercise.

THE HELP QUESTION.
A Farmer Thinks He Sees n Remed.
In the Nenr Fufure

In the Near Future.
A National Stockman writer ad-
vances the following view in regard
to the scarcity of help to be procured
by the farmers: In the first place, as
to cause nine out of ten men and wo-
men who leave the country for the
larger towns and cities. ostensibly to
better their condition (by an advance
In wages have the big head and

sire to live faster, to get something for
nothing. To be a farm hand or to be
hired girl is beneath them; to labor is
too slow They want to go faster. and
they do sometimes. They eventually
get the shock, and they are surprised.
They write back or come If they have
anything to get back on, and their
friends are surprised to see them, they
were doing 50 we'll They settle down
then; thpy have learned something.
Now as TO the remedy. That is self
adjusting and will work we'll eyentu-
ally. There is and has been for sey-
eral years an outgo of both women md
men from the country to larger towns
and cities and public works, thereby
leaving an insufficient amount of la
Dor on the farms, lessening the produc-
ton and increasing the cost Of living
where this labor is employed, and the
cost of production OF farm products
will continue to grow higher as long as
these conditions exist for the simple
reason that the farmer cannot produce
enough to supply the demand with
what meager labor he has at his COM
mand. And of course If the supply is
cut off the price must of necessity go
up. The practical farmer will not en-
ploy labor unless it is profitable to him
to do SO.
In running this great industrial de-
velopment at SO great a pressure the
limit may be reached. Then what2
Why, the help question will solve itself
from compulsion. You'll find the farm

the starch Is knocked out, and don't
think that will be long.
