CANADA BEATS US

The foreign trade of Canada, says
writer in Harper's Weekly, has grown
during the last ten years from$239, 600, 600
to $685., 100000 and is now two and half
times per head that OF the great American
republic. The expansion OF her home
market is attested by the statistics of her
economic prosperity. Last year her rail-
roads, in which 81, ,2Ss, 900, 900 are invest
ed, carried 10000, 900 passengers and 1922
000,0 900 tons of freight and earned $780,
100000. The paidup capital of the banks in
the Dominion is $S3, 600, 600, and the sum
of their assets is S767, 100000. In 1905
the revenue of the Dominion was $7l ,000,-
900 for 6,000,G 600 people; in 1866 the re-
venue of the United States was but $685.
100000 for p, 100000 people. No better
proof could be afforded of the immensely
greater purchasing power of Canada to-day
than was possessed by our republic half
a century ago. In view Of these facts, it
is not strange that Canada should face

remains to add that the opening of the
short route to Europe by way of Hudson
bay-a route which will be open for FIVE
months in the year, and will shorten the
distance between Liverpool and the West

is now definitely assured, no fewer than
six railways to Port Churchill, the best
of the Hudson bay harbors, having been

CENTRE OF POPULATION

When one considers how the centre Of
population of this country has shifted
from the Chesapeake almost to the Miss.
issippi within century's time he is
necessarily impressed with the rapid
development of the West and the unmis-
taxable westward course of the star of
empire.
In 1870, when the inhabitants of the
United States numbered but 3,929, 900,
the centre of population was about %
miles east OF Baltimore. The next census,
ten years later, showed it to have moved
about 40 miles westward and in 1920 it
had crossed into Virginia. ..lThe next
decade located it in West Virginia and
was not until 1860 that it crossed the
Ohio river. Thirty years and another
state line was crossed and the centre OF
Uncle Sans population reached Indiana.
TIE last census, that of 1900, locates
the centre at point some six miles
southwark of Columbus. Indiana and at
that point an enterprising indianapolis
newspaper has erected a monument, pro-
claiming that there in 1900, according
to the official census, was the centre of
population OF the United States.
Every governmental census, from the
first one ever taken to the last, h4s shown
a shifting westward Of this CENTRE" in
determining which Alaska and the insu-
lar possessions are not included, and it
is noticeable that while the march OF
civilization has been but trifing devia-
tion from north to south.
The longest span in this shifting of
the centre of population was between
1850 and 1860, when the jump was from
near Parkersburg, W. Va, to near Chilli
cothe, O., distance of some 81 miles
while the centre shifted but IA miles
between 1890 and 1900.
During this same period, from 1890
to 1900, the population increased from
less then 100000 to rs, ,559, ,25s. Now
figures, if all our possessions are included,
reaches over 81, 600, 600.

TO LIVE WITHOUT COOKS

Tired of the trouble their cooks made,
eight west side women of Kansas City
have set out to solving the domestic help
problem, says the New York Ssen.
A few days ago each of them discharged
her cook, locked up her kitchen windows,
put the pots and pans and plates away
and joined the Colony club.
A two-story house within block Of
the homes of all the members was rented
and Miss Anabel HART, was employed as
chef. Two other women were employed
to help her. They live in the house.
Each of the eight families has its own
table, and each furnishes its own table
linen and silver and contributes its quota
of the kitchen utensils. The chef ar
ranges the menus. At the end of each
month the cost will be computed, and
each family will pay its proportionate
share
osuccessfuI has the experiment proved
already that several other families want
to join.

THE AGE OF NATIONS

The ages of most countries are recorded
as exactly as that of any individual, and
many of the nations usually considered
old, even ancient. were really born long
after those we call the younger ones OF the
new world. The father OF nations, as we
know them, is Turkey, with the sultan
seated at Constantinople since 1853.
Then comes Denmark, born in 1923,
followed by Russia, born Oct. %, l72l,
when Peter the Great became the first
emperor. The United States of America,
that most readers probably thought very
young, was born July 4th, 1776, aud
France, possibly Imagined to be much

DISAGREE OVER FARM PURCHASE

The Trustees of Delaware College are
said to be making an effort to cancel the
purchase of the Dallett farm, for which
the Commission, appointed by the Legis-
Iature, recently negotiated at the price of
$4,000. The Legislature authorized an
issue of $40, 900 of bonds for the purchase
and equipment of a farm for experimental
purposes for Delaware College. The pur-
chase price OF the Dallett property con-
sumes the entire amount and leaves moth
ing for equipment. No question is raised
as to the valuation of the Dallett farm,
but the Trustees want to know where the
money is to come from with which to
erect necessary buildings, purchase cattle
and implements, and otherwise equip the
place. Some objection is raised also on
the ground that the Dallett farm is too far
removed from the College for the con-
venience of the students, and the plan
of those opposing the confirmation of the
deal is to secure much smaller and
cheaper place which lies only few hun
dred yards from the town on the way to
the P, B. & W. station.

TWO CENTS A MILE

Passenger rates on all railroads Of the
United States will be reduced to two cents
a mile. The lowering of the price and
complete abolition of the old three cent
rates begin July 1st.
This was the decision reached in
Chicago Saturday after long and heated
discussion by the leading railroad presi-
dents of all the Western and trans con-
tinental roads. It was not formal
agreement, but is equally binding, for
two large roads doing trans-continental
business are said to have served an ulti-
matum to Others that they would put the
rate into effect Immediately.
Following the meeting, officials of sew
eral of the roads admitted they had been
forced to bow to public opinion and anti
railroad legislation. They said that no
further fight would be made on the two
cent laws already passed, and that the
roads would accept the inevitable.

WIN SUCCESS IN NURSING
The Best Paying Occupation Free

/ Nursing the sick is perhaps the most
attractive field for the ambitious woman
who would win success and make the
most of life. 1t is a refined occupation.
1t gives skill to the hand and grace to the
heart. 1t is the best paying occupation
now open to women, and presents an
every widening field of opportunity.
The call for nurses is worldwide call.
1t is the one calling which is not over
crowded.
The demand for skilled nurses increases
with the years. Thousands of young
women have the natural graces of the
skilled nurse, but have never had a
chance to cultivate them. and SO have
been prevented from improving their
own condition and blessing the race.
But new day has dawned. Large heart

door of opportunity at the Philadelphia
School for Nurses, 2219 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, Pa. A Two Years. Free

The Term can be shortened to eighteen

JUST sUPPos1Ne

There is very little doubt that the air.
ship Is an accomplished fact. What boots
a year or two when time is flying as
swiftly as it does nowadays /?
But has anyone considered the new
dangers that will follow in the wake of
the machines |? Does anyone imagine
that life for him will be the old, carefree
existence that it has been for most of us.
that when the air is filled with iron and
steel and wood, man will go his way,
unheeding upper ether as of old?
OF course, in the very nature of things,
the first to equip themselves with aerial
racers will be the reckless devils who
now run gasoline juggernauts ON our
highways.
Is it not easy to imagine what they will
do when they get up in the air? Will
life on the surface of the earth have any
semblance of safety while "whie eagles"
al "red hawks" are careering in upper
air, spilling out tools, and now and then
an occupant?
In these pleasant days, if a man is
walking about New York, all he Las to
think of are the trolleys, the motor cycles,
the ordinary wheels, the automobiles,
the dear old horse cars and the other
horse drawn vehicles, including the fire
engines and the ambulances. If he is
alert and spry his chance of life is as
good as that of a soldier in a secondary
skirmish. His adversaries are all on the
level, so to speak, and he can see what
scoming without raising his ewes to
heaven, thing that mankind fell out of
the habit of doing ages ago.
But with the upper air full of ships,
full OF people and many of the people
full OF the intoxication born of free life
in the void, why, l would not rite any
pedestrians insurance without ch arging a
prohibitive premium.
Let US suppose two irresponsibles in all

Hand me that wrench, Bill. There's
something the matter with this nut, and
want to take it off Look out Gee! you
just missed hitting that chimney. Can't
you steer? Oh, you careless idiot What
did you drop that wrench for q? 1t struck

Let's get away quick. I'll bet that you've
Killed the artist at work-to say nothing
Of losing the only wrench We have. Hello,
did you see that .? An old chap fell out
Of that pink machine, and I'm blamed if
he didn't grab the spire of Grace Chuch,
and there he is ~
'Shall we rescue him ?"
"Rescue nothing. What's the matter
with his own people doing it? "
"Well, Pm going down after that
wrench. l don't see any commotion
around that studio building. Guess We
lidn't kill anyone"
The airship turns, goes back, drops un-
ii it is about five feet above the ground
,lass north light and then the man who
lropped tie wrench, making a cone of
lis hands, called out:
Say, you artist below there, did you
lear anything drop?"
A moment later skyiight is opened,
md an excited man in blue blouse
makes his appearance.
''Did you drop that wrench?"
"Yes, awfully sorry. Did you find it?''
II came near finding it on my head,

There has been another of the numer-
ous stories set afoat about chaos and I'M
pending revelations of scandal in the
Panama Canal service. The present and
particular story is to the effect that there
is to be an entire Reorganization of the
Canal Commission owing to the discovery
of graft and Incompetence everywhere.
One thing is very certain, and that is that
Major Geothals and the other engineer Of
ficers who have been associated with him
on the work will not resign their jobs as
SO many of the civil engineers have done,
and they will not leave the scene of their
work till they are transferred by the War
Department. Now Secretary Taft says
that the story is made out of the whole
cloth, and that be has no intention Of re-
moving anyone, though he may send
some Of the civil employees down from
Washington to Panama to let them get
more closely in touch with their work.
The Secretary says that he and the Pres.-
dent are entirely satisfied with the way
things are going, and if they are satisfied
it is not likely that the private interests
who are trying to interfere with the work
will be able to do much to hamper it ex-
cept to circulate scandal stories. And
they have become so used to doing this,
that it probably has become chronic with
them and they may find it hard to stop.
