Impressive American Possibilities

enough balancing its imports of food
by its exports to prove that it feeds
more than 100000 of its people.
France is much less heavily popu-
lated, but the French rate, in proper
ton to the area of the country. would
make the inhabitants of the United
States number not less than 550, 000,-
900, and France almost feeds it's own
people. If isolated from the outside
world they could all be kept in COM
fort, as far as food goes.
It is not necessary to make COM
PARSONS with crowded countries of
Europe or with the most densely
populated parts of the United States
to discover in the census returns re-
markable evidence of the possibin-
ties of growth which almost daze
thoughtful Americans.
The state of Ohio, for instance, has
not much more than half Of the popu-
lation which the state might contain
without exceeding the limit OF density
already reached in France. II it were
filled up as Germany is the popula-
ton would be much more than
doubled, and Germany keeps very
large part of it's area in forests.
II the entire country were occsl-
pied as fully as Ohio is, the popula-
ton of the United States would be
supported easily, at the present stage
of scientific and mechanical progress.
From whatever point of view the
census returns are studied, in the
light of old world conditions and
some demonstrations OF the posi-
bilities of population and production
in this country, the future is rich In
overwhelming visions of American
greatness. The more the facts of to-
day are looked into and weighed, the
more impressive they become as In
dications of the growth and progress
of the future.

xIYIvES Of representatives and sena-
w tors, who have already gotten
even with their ieges by establishing
a congressional club, immune from
masculine interference, are now en-
gagged in an even wider departure.
Not to be outdone by the states
mea, each of whom has chance to
spread himself in the congressional
directory, the women are about to
start a congressional directory of
their own. They have begun already
to busy themselves about getting the
biographies Of themselves which will
shortly be seen in print.
The idea of the directory was first
preached to the club members last
spring by Mrs. Champ Clark who
stood sponsor for the venture. Her
interest in the wives of her husbands
associates and her faculty for COL
lecting data about the persons she
meets, gave rise to the idea. A close
student of American history and
genealogy, Mrs. Clark has come upon
some interesting facts about congress

Woman Who Counts the Burned Money

ington.
The officers of the Royal Bank OF
Canada declared their Willingness to
pay the salary and expenses Of the
government expert who should be sent
down. Miss Elizabeth Smith, who
was selected to go, did not wish to
make the trip alone and the bank
also agreed to pay the expenses Of
her sister.
So the two young women set sail for
Cuba. When they arrived at Mayari.
a small village on the coast of Cuba,
opposite Santiago, where the burned
bank building was located, Miss Eliza
beth Smith found that the officers of
the bank had not touched the scorched
money because of their fear that the
charred remnant would fall to pieces.
The safe was still lying in the ruins
The officers of the bank had only
opened it once and after seeing the
condition of the money had closed it
hurriedly to await Miss Smiths ar
rival
At the end OF three weeks the work
was accomplished. Miss Smith found
that she had been able to identify
0,300 worth Of notes. This was the
exact amount which the bank had ON
hand in American notes, according to
its books.

tiers he had received from the navy
department and the testimony of pat
ent attorneys that he obtained his
freedom.
Both in the army and navy Curreu
was regarded as a crank He became
convinced in the Spanish-American
war, he says, that the ti1>e was not
far distant when aeroplanes or dirigi-
BILE balloons would be important fac
tors in warfare, and acting on this
belief he began systematic study of
the problem that led him through sew
eral branches of the army and later
into the navy and then to the United
States army signal corps, and finally
to the madhouse, after his discharge
from the army.
Currell was released from the gov
eminent hospital for the insane on
October 6, and since then has bent
all his energies toward perfecting his
inventions in preparation for applying
for patents. His inventions consist OF
dirigible aerial torpedo, detonator,
and an aerial rife, and he is now
working on time torpedo and an
other rifle for use in an aeroplane.

of Congressmen's Wives

stock flows in the veins of the wives
of many congressman. Whether It
be that the sturdy descendants of the
New Englanders have survived under
the hardships Of pioneer days when
other strains have persisted is quSs-
ton about which many interesting
speculations might gather.
At first the congressional women
treated the request for biographical
material as joke, but soon they sav
that the information they gave, If
made accessible for all the membesI
Of the Congressional club, would at
ford mighty interesting reading. Now
that the women OF the present con-
gressional circle are 50 shortly to
scatter, some of them never to return
to Washington, they have taken hold
Of the directory idea with new vigor.
The general public will, of course,
have no such opportunity Of reading
the directory Of the feminine congress
sional contingent as It has had in the
case Of that compiled by the senators
and representatives but it is expected
that more than one edition de luxe Of
the new directory will be made, and
Washington is looking for some inter.
esting reading from the bulky volume.
The senators and representatives
themselves are showing considerable
interest in the volume The biogra.
plies have enc radical point of de-
parture from those In the masculine
volume-the biographers are not e1
pected to ten when they were born.
