We have spent a lot of valuable
time the past week worrying about
whether William Howard Taft was
censused.
Our solicitude Is absurd, doubtless,
but the possibility that the Presi-
dent was out calling on Missouri
or Indiana when the census man
visited the White House looms
gloomily large in u consciousness,
This matter should be carefully
looked into. If it is found that the
chief executive has been left out of
the count, and if it is too late to
include him in it at this late hour,

speech which he is said to have de-
livered at the Guild hall banquet to
the officers of the visiting American

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Borah

consideration the judges named by

was on foot to legislate Chairman
Martin A. Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission out of office by
confirming the man named as his sue
cessor on the commission and not con-
firming Mr. Knapp's appointment to
the new court.
Senator Borah declared that the
fears of Mr.. Knapp's friends were un-
founded.
At a special meeting of the senate
committee on judiciary it was agreed
unanimously to report favorably the
nomination of Mr.. Knapp and his ap-
pointment was later confirmed.

USE OF DYNAMITE
WILL BREAK MAINS
Expert Predicts Disaster by Fire
in New York City.

New York, Dec. 21.-That New York
city is in danger of fire disaster
greater than that which destroyed San
Francisco following the earthquake
is the assertion of M. s. Tannenbaum,
one of the insurance experts who tes-
titled before the state legislative COM
mittee investigating fire insurance
rates and conditions here.
THE danger of disaster to New York
is not only a possibility, but a very
threatening probability" Mr.. Tannen-
baum said THE extent of the San
Francisco disaster was due to the
breaking of the water mains and that
is the danger we face. Right now We
are digging tunnels through the heart
of the city, using large quantities OF
dynamite.
ANY day an explosion might break
two or three of our principal water
mains. If this should happen and fires
break out at the same time where
would New York be?
New York's water pressure is too
low. 1t would be absolutely INSULT
cient to control fire with good head
way in certain districts of the city. II
two or three fires should break out
during a big wind, like, for instance
the blizzard of 1888, nothing could
save the city,"
Mr.. Tannenbaum brought up these
points in connection with an argument
in favor of passing law to restrict
the amount of insurance which any
one company should write in single
district,

has she had any inclination to do SO.
She is in excellent health and has new

The woman declares that she is quite
content in her sleepless state, as with
the whole twenty-four hours to herself
she is able to perform all her house

since the beginning Of her insomnia

Exchange Bureau Planned.


There might in time develop an ex-
change bureau of situations. Young
persons who are starting out in some
branch of commerce or in agriculture
or forestry could be exchanged by their
employers for a few months and thus
acquire foreign ideas and methods
about their work. Commercial bodies
of standing, such as the Austrian Ex-
port society in Vienna and the Museum
of Commerce of Philadelphia, are
thinking favorably of indorsing such
scheme.
DIR. Richard has already received
four or FIVE applications from Europe
for suitable exchanges and number
from the middle west Certain circles
interested in the peace movement have
given hopes of financial support, so 1t
is expected that the necessary funds
will soon be on hand to begin the pre-
liminaries.

fning the exchange idea to such coun-

"And, what is more, | believe that

ton for American children. l have
brought mine up entirely in this coun-
try, where they are to live and work.
1t is necessary first that they should

DR.. Richard explains that he does
not advocate the interchange of in
fants nor of very young children, but
of studious and ambitious youths.
Seventeen seems to him the ideal age
to spend year or more among for
eign folk. Suppose a New York boy
showed artistic promise and Partisan
youth a natural bent toward skyscrap-
ers and subways. What could be bet
ter and simpler than for the young
artist to betake himself to Paris and
live with the young engineers parents,
while the incipient engineer became
for time an American?
Consider the science to which for
estry is reduced in Germany. A boy
with a bent for forestry and an am
bition to build up the American sci
ence could not do better than to spend
six months or year in Germany.

Aviator MOissant Talks of Fly
ing With Aeroplane.
Possesses No Great Mystery or
Difficulty He Declares.
AS COMMON AS AUTOS
In the Next Generation Is His
Confident Prediction.
His Trip From Paris to London
Was Nothing Much.

New York. Oct. 13.-John B. Moissant
the American aviator who drew the
attention of the world by his flight from
Paris to London, declares today that
learning to guide an aeroplane is about
as easy as learning to ride a bike or to
walk stills.
Moissant is preparing his quarters at
the Belmont Park aviation field in an
ticipation of making some trial flights
before the opening of the international
tournament.
There is no great mystery or great
difficulty about operating an aeroplane.
he said to committee of the interna-
tional meet officials when they receiv-
ed him at Belmont park. Everybody
will realize this very soon and the next
generation will use aeroplanes as we
are now using automobiles. The perfec-
ton of the flying machine from now on
will be very rapid and it's perils will be
found to be no greater than the perils
of bursting tires and Sk1dd1ng wheels
and faulty automobile mechanisms-
Every person who makes a fight in
an aeroplane comes back to earth with
the same impressions. He tells you
that it was a delightful experience, that
it was something new, and that he was
not a bit scared and is crazy to DO II
again. That tells the whole story
When I made my flight from Paris to
London, had been IN an aeropIane out
twice before.
when 1 announced that 1 intended
to make the fight, Latham, LIE Blanc
and Bleriot said I was crazy and laugh
ed at me; when I said that l was 60
ing to take a passenger they thought
I had gone stark mad. The passenger
one of my machinics-had never been
in a machine before.
II had never been north Of Paris and
knew nothing at all of the route. But
L had a map and a compass in front or
me and had no difficulty in getting to
Calais.
ST went up very high when 1 started
to cross the channel, took a general
course toward England and shot away
on the flight. 1t was no trick TO cross
the channel. as it was only "a or %
miles wide, which could be covered in

BANK CLERKS APPEAL.
Want All Employees to Join American
Federation of Labor.

New York. Oct. ia social or
ganization of Jewish bank clerks here
has issued a general appeal to en-
ployees of all banking institutions in
the city to unionize themselves and
join the American Federation of Labor
as the first step to a movement for
a shorter work day and higher wages.
The appeal declares that the clerks
will have the unanimous support of
depositors and will be able to enforce
their demands. The appeal says that
bank clerks are among the most poor
" paid and hardest worked of any
class of labor. The woman bank
clerks, it says, are even worse off than
the men.
"The young girls it adds. "who
range in age from Is to IT years are
the worst treated of any of the bank
employees. Frequently these girls are
compelled to work from half past eight
a. m. to IL p. m. They get the beg
