Care of Baggage in England.
.om the Philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 ''So you are going abroad, eh?' said a railroad man. well, watch your lug gage over there. The system Is abomina- ble.
 'They don't you know, have our simple and )satisl actory check system. In Eng land, for instance, no one is responsible for your luggage but yourself You get a porter to put 1t in the baggage car, and when you reach your destination you pick it out with another porter's help, put it on a cab and drive off. Anyone could steal it. Often luggage thefts occur.
 "I often wondered why the English railroads, which in many respects are so good didn't adopt our American check system. Last year, asking an English rail- road man, 1 found out.
 If the English roads adopted the check system they would be responsible for lug gage, as our roads are. The English law does not make them responsible. There fore, of course. they do nothing that will lay such a responsibility upon them But they acknowledge that our luggage sys- tenn Is fine, while theirs is execrable. And the have a registering system-a mere begging of the question-for which you have to pay extra.

for the construction of @ canal rom the
 Great Lakes to the Hudson, dream that
 Governor Clinton realized for him, in
 1925. Though it was jeered at and called
 "Clinton's Big Ditch at first this six
 foot waterway made New York the richest
 state in the union.
 A recent writer has likened the canal
 system of the United States to pyra-
 mid whose base is line from southern
 Texas to northern Montana and whose
 apex is Boston. From this apex ves-.
 sels can go to forty states and come
 in contact with 90 per cent of the wealth
 and the population of the United States.
 Only Nevada Wyoming Colorado and
 New Mexico have been denied natural or
 artificial waterways, but the rest of the
 country has latent if not active powers in
 this line of development New England
 utilizes her waters for mill power Just
 as the Dutch settlers of the middle At lantic states true to the inherited tenden- cles of their race, used them for roads to market.
 Through Rhode Island, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina there runs an almost unbroken line of small canals that have made the commerce of those sections. From AL bermarle sound around through Georgia and Florida. the line is broken though it brings in the important Lake Borgne canal. which is seven miles long connect ing Lakes Maurepas, Pontchartrain and Borgne, Mississippi sound and the Mo- bile, Alabama and Warrior rivers. It saves vessels a sixty-mile trip. The United States does not consider it's 5000 miles of canals by any means suf- fcent, Boston long recognized the fact that much time is lost in sl1irting Cape Cod by steamer, and has devised a canal that will cut across this neck. Another that she has discussed would cut across country from Narragansett bay to Bos- 1 ton and save many hours on some times dangerous waters.
 The old Potomac and Cumberland canal may be made to fulfil further Washing tons ideas and be cut through the ridges 1 to Pittsburg, where 100000 tons of coal, | iron and merchandise already pass yearly. | The proposed lake ship canal from Pitts burg to Lake Erie would also increase the already great commercial and manufac- | turing interests of that city and offer even wider possibilities for internal develop ment
 | To extend the Chicago Drainage canal | to St Louis would insure deep watef : way 357 miles long. protected by dams l and locks that would cost $25000,0O0 , The south, rich in mines and agricul- 1 tural products, is also rich in inland wa | terways that need only to be knit to- | gether by canals The Columbia river m | Oregon, navigable for 100 miles to the | Dalles, has hundreds of other miles of open waterway beyond that need only the 1 cutting of a short canal to be made a | great commercial route fol the grain
 countries beyond.
 Another great project that the west is
 eager to see, one that would give to the
 nation great harbor, is that of cutting
 a canal from Puget sound and Elliott bay
 to Lake Washington and Lake Union. l which lie east of Seattle. This would se-

THE "BARkEEP" PROTESTS.
Isn't Willing to Be "knoWn By the
 Company He Keeps"

William Kent in Golfers Weekly.
 With the solemn wagging of gray boards it was said in the musty past: "A man is known by the company he keeps" and I, ponderng the words, set out to test them. For although the hoary formula had semblance of wisdom, l was not unmindful how many times a child with a milk pan and stick has deceived those whose ears were expectantly pricked for the dinner gong
 And first of all I sought a friend who kept much company, the man of white apron and busy towel who purveys drink to the thirsty, and I asked him if he were to be known by the company he kept. And he, before replying dropped in the bitters, crushed the cube of sugar in a thick glass, put in the piece of ice and one digger of brown liquors and, with thumb as pivot and nimble fingers for motive power. revoIved the long-handled spoon for full minutes, then he gave to the lemon peel the squeezing twist. "If you mean the bunch I serve here, I should say not. This is business, and 1t aint life, I'm paid to fill em up, and l fiatter my self 1 know my business. But, If you notice. I don't drink. I see what it does to ein; and so I cut it out. Just the same, l don't play slot machines because the boss gets me to plug some of the winning numbers, and l know what that does to 'em. Yes. I get paid for barkeeping. and l have to listen to their tired old stories and have to hear how smart they are, and ..t.t.. fl the worst troubles they have over this bar. Me be known by this maudlin bunch of slow suicides? I guess rot. No, when times up I turn the cash register over to the night man and go home to my family and associate with decent people. ' And he wiped off the bar and deferentially inquired the desires of the next gentle man.

The record of the children's court in New York and of the similar court in Chicago showed that nearly all the youth full criminals that were brought to these courts were truants, and, what is more. that S5 per cent of these children were found physically defective.
 The source of truancy, therefore, lies chiefly in defects which prevent children from pursuing their studies. Remove these defects, and the ability to go on with school work will be restored, while
