America Exploits the World.

Practically no hostility to Ameri-
cans or American institutions" was
the message which Darwin P. Kings
ley, president Of the New York Life,
brought from Europe after tour COW
ering all countries. American machines
are found In every city and through
out the agricultural districts. Even 10
Spain he found Americans cordially
welcomed, whatever the errand.
Mr.. Kingsley attributed this cordial
feeling Of Europeans for Americans &c
n general recognition over there of the
Increasing Importance Of the United
States. Great things are expected Of
US In the way Of government improve
ment, and, while there is criticism. II
Is done In kindly way. And II would
be impossible for Europe to ignore our
Importance were she supposed to be
envious or Jealous. Great Britain, Ger
many and France take heavily OF oul
cotton, and italy and Spain buy in
lesser quantities. These countries take
our grain and animal products, also
our live stock, which Is even more
widely distributed, reaching Asiatic
Russia, the Pacific countries and South
Africa. According to the Worlds
Work, this country contributes one
fifth Of the wheat, one-fourth OF the
hops one-third of the corn. two-fifths
Of the meat nearly one-half the oil
cake and oil cake meal, almost one
half of the leaf tobacco two-thirds OF

our comfortable position as world pro-
WIDER we can be independent Of for
eign opinion. Still, 1t Is better to COM

Hunting Lions In a Palace Car


Two women have just been touriu@

tell the world all about It at n dollar

can, has just published book which
takes the reader into the wild haunts
Of zebras, gnus, giraffes, hyenas ana
lions in central Africa. The whole
trip was made in palace cars and I'm
steamboats,, and all the terrors of the
jungle, except perhaps that lonely feel

traveller, to whom this scene was very
exciting. But the men were too slow
or too long disputing over the honor Of
the first shot, and the lioness coolly
leaped across the track behind the
train and disappeared in the jungle

The Auto,a Trailing Odors

The actions Of some Of the park
boards In large cities In barring Ill
smelling autos from the park drives Is
not really the hardship 1t might seem.
Machines should not send out clouds
Of unpleasant odors, for when they
are properly managed the nuisance
from this source is but slight In the
open 1t would scarcely be noticed.
A little pressure upon the owners Of
machines will cause them to use extra
care. The smoke and the smell are
due to carelessness or Incompetence,
and owners of machines may find that
If they force their chauffeurs to handle
their motors properly In compliance
with the demands of the law they will
get better results from the same
amount of fuel and also save in the
wear of the machinery.
