A little house is built over the stern-one
room only-which answers for parlor
and bed room; the kitchen is brazier,
movable. but usually placed upon the
roof and the deck is the dining room
You wonder how it is possible to crowd
so many people into such small space,
for often these little boats are occupied
by families of six or eight persons. who
are born and die upon the decks. The
labor and responsibility of boating are
shared by all the members of the fam
lily The women are as muscular ana
skillful as the men. They can handle the
helm or the oars or the cargo as. easily
as their husbands, even when they are
handicapped with a baby strapped upon
their backs. Upon these boats large
amount of the commerce or the Phlllp-
pine Islands Is carried on. Several thou
sand of them are engaged in coasting and
river traffic. Their earnings are small,
but their wants are few. and they seem
to enjoy life as well as the rest of the
population.

that it will not stay dredged. The work

carries SO much sediment with 1t that the

Canton, China, has river population of
between 800, 900 and 100000. Men, wo-
men and children live entirely in boats
and never go ashore except for business
or recreation. Shanghai, Hong Kong and
all the other Underwater cities of China
have a proportionate number, and Manila
and other towns OF the Philippines have
their share. The native boats called cas-
Goes are from twenty to thirty feet long

s19.5OO.0O0, a much larger sum than any
previous year. for many years. but this
deficit Is likely to be wiped out at any
time within the next few months when
expenditures decrease and the receipts
grow. The deficit. stated. has caused
a depletion of the working balance of the
treasury In the last twenty-one days to All
unusually small sum. There has long been
tradition that the actual working balance
of the treasury proper should not be less
than $4,000, 900. but Secretary Shaw Is OF
the opinion that this tradition referred to
a period when the government had praeti-
cally no deposits with national banks. AS

Working Balance of Government Is
Below SGT 100000.

The fact that the working balance of the
Treasury Department is now below S2I .oOO.-
oO0 owing to the large disbursements this
month. Is not alarming to Secretary Shaw.
1t Is nearly always the case at the begin

officers draw heavily for funds. causing
the expenditures for that month. as well
as the second month of a fiscal year. to be
