HUNGER BREEDS REVOLUTION

In France. the country noted fu- revolutions. the germs of hunger are causing the incubator of revolt to take on signs of activity High prices nf food in Northern France are placing the necessities of life beyond the reach nothing like the wolf camping on the door step to drive people to desperate deeds.
 Women are paradug the street car ryiag banners enscribed Butter at 30 sous or revolution" TO the layman such a state of affairs may mol appear serious. but to people who arc familiar with the history of France il means one of two things either the government must take immediate steps to reduce the cost of necessities. or prepare for revolution.
 Here in the United States. people are better taken care uf. as whole and looked after better than in foreign countries. Real hungry people are the exception and in restricted districts Inhabitants of a town or village or city do not all go hungry al once. some few families may, but they are generally provided for when their wants are made known
 In France it Is different the food question is of vital importance for it's effect upon the common people is the same They are all on par with little or no difference in their financial standing A sudden rise in the price Of food stun causes th, population of whole districts [" suffer and should the prices be maintained to the extent that the people go hungry it Is very seri, uus matter
 The many lessons France has had in revolutions and hungry people will cause the government to take action at once 10 grant relief to her hungry wo- men and nip the germs of revolution in the bud. for very few ships or state can outride the storm of revolt on the part of the masses.

Avalanche Baffled at Last.

In the winter of l909-10 an ava
lanche swept down the precipitous
sides of the Cascade mountains at the
little town of Wellington, Washing
ton, and carried a Great Northern
passenger train with almost n hun
dred passengers aboard, to a terrible
fate in the depths of the canyon be-
low. To prevent the recurrence OF
such a catastrophe was the problem
that confronted the Great Northern's
engineers, and spurred on by James j.
Hill, who declared that the tracks
must be rendered absolutely safe no
matter what the cost, they finally de-
termined upon The erection of rein
all the Wellington danger zone.
These have just been finished at a
cost of $500, 900.
Construction of these solid masonry
structures for a distance of $500 feet
is regarded as a great accomplishment
in the engineering world, for they are
not merely coverings built over the
tracks they are indestructible hoods
set into the mountain side. Future
avalanches may thunder into the
canyon, far below, all they please, but
they will slide right over the concrete
tubes, and trains may pass back and
ger traffic is carried on beneath the
Hudson river in the McAdoo tunnels,
or beneath the Detroit river.
"We must make the mountain
slides. ever if an outlay of millions Of
dollars is necessary" declared Mr..
Hill emphatically and aside from the
concrete sheds the railway magnate

lays to through trains during the
winter months. Two miles of the
main line nea Berne, east of Well
ington, are in process Of rebuilding,
new buildings were erected at Well
ington, a water supply system is be-
ing installed between Wellington and
Scenic, and at Wellington a rendez-
vous has been made for the scores of
men that each winter are used to fight
the snow king in the Cascades. From
this central point men may be rushed
down the west side of the mountains
or through the Cascade tunnel to the
eastern slope.-From "Guarding
