lining them without prejudice, in order
to form conclusions that approximate
the truth For instance, I don't try to
palliate the fact that in this country
we have some big and threatening
problems to solve.
Zone Of them is the labor question.
The present standard of wages Is art-
fetal. 1t must be reduced If this coun-
try Is to compete with others in the
markets Of the world. Our foreign
trade in manufactured products, in
stead Of increasing with the increased
production, is falling off.
Consider the single but important
item of steel. A very few years ago
we were told that our steel was com
handing the worlds markets. Nobody
dares to tell us that now. Even ma
tives of our own country, in the Philip
pines. have recently been sending big
orders for steel to Germany. Why:
Simply because they can get it cheaper
there.
GAS it is in steel, so it Is in many
other products. Germany is making
great strides ahead Of us. She is, in
fact, leading the world, and promises
to increase her lead. Her mechanics
work cheaply, and spend sixty-sH
hours week in their factories, where
as ours spend but forty-four. More.
over, they are better workmen.

her in foreign trade until we reduce
the cost of our manufactured products
and improve their quality. Even Eng.

faster than we are The simple truth
is that we are being badly beaten in

Rebuilding Manila.

work begun of rebuilding Manila, and
making it the beautiful city of the
Orient twill not only be clean and
healthful with wide streets and attrac-
tive plazas, but it will be capital Of
art as well.
For example, for years open bitches
throughout the city have been used for
sewerage purposes, so that the public
health has been put in jeopardy. These
bitches will be made into clean canals,
spanned by numerous bridges. Pleas
ure boats will ply on them. A COM
plete sanitary sewerage system will re-
place the present bitches.
The work of filling in 155 acres ad-
joining Mallaco will give Manila ah

pie This drive is a favorite resort,
and the view is said to be one of the
most beautiful In all the Philippine

Once upon a time there was a Nice
bow who had a Sister. The Holiday
season was fast approaching, and 1t
was the Custom in this family for
everyone to give the Others Presents.
Now the Girl forgot all about her
brother until late Christmas Eve night.

Statistics are not necessarily dull.
In fact some very interesting facts
can be CLEANED from the reports of the
census taker if one only reads between
the lines or, rather, draws philosophi-
cal conclusions from the figures. An
entertaining study has lately been
made Of age statistics collected by the
census bureau and published under the
caption, "a Discussion of Age Stats
tics" Among other things shown is
the increase in longevity in the United
States. The median age Of the aggre-
gate population Of continental United
States-that is, the age which exactly
divides the population into halves-is
22.8o years. One-half the population
is above that, the other half below it.
This Is a great advance over the me-
dian age a century ago, which was
1891 Since 1920 the advance each
decade has been on an average about
two-thirds over the previous advance.
The median age Of the population Hv-
ing in cities Of over $4,000 inhabitants
is about 311a greater than the popula-
ton in smaller cities and in the rural
districts. The reason for this Is that
there is higher birth rate in the rural
districts, while the younger adult pop
ulation throngs to the cities. The me-
dian age in the North Atlantic and
Western States is higher than in the
South Atlantic and South Central
States. This fact indicates that with
all the severity of Northern winters,
followed by Indictment springs, the eli
mate at the North Is more favorable to
health than is that of the Southern
States, with all their mildness. The
fact that the median age Is advancing
constantly offsets the tendency to a
decreasing birth rate. A large number
Of births Is not SO important as the
survival to middle and old age Of those
who are born. The economic waste Is
fearful where large proportion of
children do not reach the tenth year.
The further the median age advances
so much the better for the entire pop
ulation-economical and every way.
Earning power counts but little before
the age of 16, while in the case Of
scholars most of the time under % Is
spent in preparation for future work.
Despite the anxiety regarding race sui
eide, statistics make a good showing
in the United States. Because Of the
great decrease in the proportion of
deaths Of children under 5 years Of
age during the last ten years the new
decade may advance the median age
far beyond that of any previous in
crease for the same length of time.

Health fads," no doubt, have their
uses," said the manager of fashion
able restaurant, but they are bad for
our business. You would be surprised
to know how many people go without
breakfast nowadays. They call 1t the
fasting cure. Some limit their meals
to one a day while taking the cure.
They don't touch food until the din
ner hour, and then take a light meal.
Others take a snack in the morning
probably toasted biscuit and
cup of hot milk, and fairly substan-
tial meal, without meat, late in the
afternoon. People, as rule, do not
eat as much as they did few years
ago. Many of the doctors advise light
eating, and all the books and publica-
tons devoted to health and physical
training berate overlooking. We still
talk about square meal but with
some it has different meaning from

than did Rufus King. He was one Of
the most ardent of the Federalists, de-
voting himself to upholding every act
Of Washington. He collaborated with
Hamilton in several articles that ap-
peared over the signature 'Camillus."
Kings unimpeachable honesty and
undoubted loyalty led to his appoint
ment to the post Of minister to Eng
land. His mission had to do chiefly
with the questions Of the right Of
search. Through the unpleasantness
that finally eliminated in the war of
1912 King acted with discretion and
the most earnest patriotism.
Although not at the outset an adyo-
cate Of that war, nevertheless when it
was once declared he gave it his most
decided support. One Of the incidents
which marked his attitude was his ap-
pearance in New York at the time
when a financial panic was threatened
and by his advice and example restor-
ing confidence in the government.
