Ahout Women SMOKING

Washington.-Just now there Is .
crusade against the smoking OF
cigarettes by women. The fact that
society women have taken up this
solace is considered an evidence that
our present social course is leading
the way to decay. Yet the only thing
that is new about the smoking Of
cigarettes by women is the protest
against 1t.
Andrew Jackson's mother used to
smoke q corncob pipe. Probably
Abraham Lincoln's mother did, too.
Certainly most Of the ladies who came
over in the steerage-and the daugh-
tiers Of many Of them are found
In our most exclusive circles-were
rarely without their old pipes. some
clay, some corncob.
No protest was made against the
smoking Of a pipe by Andrew Jack
sons mother and we have never
heard OF any meetings Of protest IN
Mrs. Lincoln's neighborhood. Incl.
dentally, each OF these women reared
4 son who made his mark in the
world.

a full and careful enumeration OF the
Braziltans would show about 10000
600 of them.
Mexico, only about rs per cent OF
the size Of Brazil in square miles. Is
safely established in third place
among all the nations Of the New
World, as far as numbers go. In b
respects the Argentine surpasses Mex
leo, and SO does Canada Their indus
trial output is greater and their for
eign m Is larger in every way.
Argentina and Canada are alike also.
In growing SO fast and with such as
surance of continued swift expansion
that they may overtake and pass Mex
leo. Their chief cities already surpass
the largest civic centers in the u
try which Diaz makes his footstooi.
But now neither is within 100000 OF
the Mexican total.
From these rivals, so unlike in many
things, but so similar In their high
hopes and their rapid development.
down through countries like Peru.
Columbia, Venezuela and Bolivia, the
experts guess their way to the many
small states which maintain a separ-
ate existence in Latin America. Costa
RIGA is probably the least OF them all
in numbers, counting but 350, 900 resi-
dents. Cuba is fairly well filled up,
ranking in density of population with
several of the Southern states.
As a rule. with comparatively few
exceptions, Latin America is rich In
unsettled country. A very large part
of the vast expanse of land south oil
the Mexican frontier, all the way to
the southern end of South America
lies open to settlement.
Some Jay such wealth in unused ma
tural must cause great
growth, but that Is a matter OF the In
definite future. For the present 1t Is
certain that the United States will
hold its lead over the other countries
of the New World. counting all OF
them together.

Further v Work.

A meeting of the board Of Missis-
sippi levee commissioners authorized
the issuance of $4,000 in certificates
of Indebtedness for the purpose OF
carrying on the levee work now under

money from taxes will not begin to
come in for several weeks.

Gives No Money for Road Building

experiments in the use of materials
are conducted by the specialists OF
this bureau. Here the government
stops, for the reason that dominant
view in congress has been that this
properly delimits the governments
function.
Representative Anthony of Kansas
introduced a bill in the house last win
ter for the construction of a military
highway between Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Riley, 100 miles, by convicts
in the two federal pen%itentiaries at
Fort Leavenworth. The bill was lost
after a debate that developed into a
general discussion of the good roads
movement.
The measure had the Endorsement OF
President Taft, the chief of staff OF
the army and the quartermaster gen.
eral. General ]. Franklin Bell, hen
chief of staff, stated in a letter to Rep
resentative Anthony that the proposed
road would unquestionably be OF
great military value and convenience"
Farmers of many townships through
which the proposed road would run
Offered to supply all the rock and
other material to be used In its con-
struction.
Like others of its kind, this meas
ure was wrecked upon constitutional
rocks. The opponents of the bill con-
tended that General Bell did not claim
the road to be a military necessity.
and that, if not done for this purpose.
the government could not build it, be-
cause the constitution authorizes the
construction of only such roads as are
required to meet military necessities

The loss Of government property in
this fire is thought to be less than
$1,000, but In. the library yer the fire

literature containing more than 65, 900
volumes. $4,000 pamphlets and $4,000

and erected their, present castle,
which, with the contract price of con-
struction, the swimming pool, gymna-
