How Cities Grow

In New York the suburbs are grow ing faster than the central districts, and this is the case in Chicago, in Pittsburg, in San Francisco. The market district or center is outgrown in population in the suburbs, and this rule extends to nearly all American cities that have crossed the 100000 line. Birmingham is no exception to the rule.
 In the real Greater Birmingham or what the census bureau calls the urban center, there were in 1910 ,961 people and in the city itself there were 132,685. Possibly not over 50,00O of these numbers can be said to live at the central core which is the market district.
 As traffic accommodations are in creased the numbers in the suburbs will gain population, and the possi- bilities of Greater Birmingham will become the wonder of the south by the time the next federal census is taken.

The Roosevelt Panic of 1907

The Pujo money trust investigating committee is bringing to the surface the inside history of the panic of 1907. Three steps were taken in New York to stay the ravages of the panic.
 In the first place J. P. Morgan as a leader induced the banks of New York to take from their legal reserves $25,- 100000 to be loaned in the pinch, but chiefly to go to the stock exchange to sustain prices. This was quickly followed by loan of S40,000,000 by Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou to the New York banks, and Mir. Nor gan again appears when he aided the banks from his own vaults and from the savings banks to get the high grade bonds which the government required as a collateral. The third effort was conducted by President Stillman of the City National bank, aided by MT. Morgan and others. They secured immediately by means of the cable vast sums from Europe on cotton bills. Before the close of the year $1OO,OOo,oo0 in gold had been landed in New York.
 These efforts checked the disastrous Roosevelt panic of 1907 although it's effects were felt throughout the fol- lowing five years, and are still felt In some directions. Before the Pujo investigation is completed no doubt the full story of the panic of 1907 will be told. It should be, for the story relates to a critical period in the history of the republic.

THE LAsr ARnRIGINE

What would be the feelings of a stone age savage if he could be suddenly set down in the centre of modern civilization? That question is answered in the July Worlds Work by A. L. Kroeber, the cur ator of the Museum of Natural History of the University of California, who has for nearly year had under his observa- tion Ishi, the last survivor of the lost southern Yana tribe who formerly ranged about northern California. Until last Sep tember Ishi had never been face to face with white man. but he had been forced finally by hunger to stray into Orovill, Cal where naked and despairing. he was arrested for trying to break into a slaughter house.
 Ishi was not even at the very first a wild man. "Timid and gentle, a new sight, or the crowding around of half a dozen people made his limbs rigid. If his hand had been held and was released his arm remained frozen in the air for several minutes. The first boom from a cannon fired in artillery practice at the Presdio several miles away raised him a foot from his chair. And yet, with it all he displayed keen observation, much interest, and sometimes delight"

ADVERTISING THE GOSPEL

Unity church at Montclair, N. J., ex- banded in two years time from mem bership of 90 to one of z36 This change was wrought. says MT. and Mrs. Lewis Theiss in the July Worlds Work. by thor ough and up to date advertising. First of all, the church made use of the local newspapers, in which 1t published weekly annoupcements. These were about five inches square. and were prominently dis played They were live but not blatant. They were set up so as to catch the eye. They were worded, not to startle, but to impress the reader Some little catchword was always skilfully inserted. In an ad- vertsement of sermon on Just Plain Reliability, appeared these sentences; Is life a dash or g Marathon?'-'Duty soon tires. Love goes all the way !"
 Quarter page advertisements were also made and these ''were struck off sepa- rately as handbils and distributed through the town,
 'Finally an artistic bulletin board four feet square was placed in front of the church, and an artist employed to letter it Every week he prepared an attrac- tive announcement, embellished with apt texts, illuminated letters. or other artistic designs. This announcement told briefly of the weeks doings and extended cor dial invitation to passers-by to attend some of the services.
 Today the church building is in use 20 times week~for various activities, and the Sunday night services are so popular that crowds have to be turned away

-----<sf------------------ A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE

From the Green Book.
 Nat Goodwin peaceably was on tour.
 Seats were selling like hot cakes. Mir. Goodwin was down in the foyer watching the weather. A thin visaged woman with a throttle hold on her purse minced up to the window and bought one ticket for the matinee.
 As she passed out. counting and re- counting her change, the woman over heard an acquaintance of MT. Goodwin's calling him by name.
 The woman looked them both over with close scrutiny. Then she went back to the box office
 ''Is that MT. Goodwin" she demanded.
 Yes"
 MT. Nat C. Goodwin" Yes"
 "The man who plays in this play I've just bought ticket for?"
 Yes"
 "Ail right" said the woman. She stopped. probed the fastnesses of her reticule, pulled out her newly secured ticket and pushed it back reluctantly through the window. If you're sure that's MT Goodwin" remarked the woman, you can take that ticket right back and give me an orchestra seat as far front as you can get it--no, give me two orchestra seats and give them to me for tonight. For if that's Nat Good win, I'm going to bring my feather headed son along and show him just what matrimpny can do for a man.

AN ABORIGINAL SHAVE

Mr. A. l.. Kroeber, the curator of the Museum of Anthropology of the Universi- ty of California, very sympathetically de- ,scribes in the July Worlds Work the curious characteristics of Ishi. the last relic of real wild Indianism," who was found last fall in California and given over to the university as a curio. His face is as clean of beard as when he wa sdiscovered. and has not been touched by razor. This is not racial charac- teristic, but the result of his substitute for shaving. He pulls out his beard hairs one by one as soon as they emerged habit formerly universal among all tribes on the continent, but less frequently prac- ticed today. In this connection he man. ifests a peculiar personal refnement he never follows the habit when in com pany. It was only after three months of constant association that I actually saw him for the first time at what must be a daily pursuit"

China's New Loan

A group of international bankers of the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Japan have agreed upon the terms of loan of $500, ,000, ,000 to China. China her self is to act upon the proposition. The loan will no doubt be made and China will thus get money for imme- diate needs.
 The countries named will stand by each other in defending the integrity of China, and this is an important consideration. Russia and Japan will in all honor be compelled to keep their hands off Manchuria, Mongolia and Thibet. If Russia assails any part of China the other powers will be ex- pected to resent and oppose the move- ment. The loan, therefore, makes for peace in China, but it does not leave China in the meanwhile in an inde- pendent position.
 Japan was able to get on her feet and to introduce western methods without negotiating big loan. China Is, however, big country and loan of $300, 1000, ,00O is not heavy burden to her if she can secure a revenue unvexed by graft. The development of China is to be the wonder of the loresent century, and no one is au-

Irnderwood,, Chance. Bright

q have thought for sometime that MT Underwood would be the democratic nom- inee for the presidency" said a local re- publican.
 q am a Roosevelt man, but next to Roosevelt I would rather see Underwood President than any other man in this country. One of the best indications In favor of IInderwood's nomination is his steadily growing strength. Three months ago very few of the prominent news papers referred to him as any more than presidential possibility. Now he is being reckoned with by some of those papers as decided probability.
 ''As friend of Mir. Underwood the only thing I fear is Bryan's influence against him, but Mr. Bryan will not be as poten- tial in the Baltimore convention as some seem to think
 Governor Harmon, who was looked upon as very strong candidate a year ago, is now the weakest of the four who are oftenest discussed-Clar Wilson, Un- derwood and Harmon. Underwood is a stronger man than Wilson, and think he Is very much stronger man than Champ Clark. although Clark goes into the con vention with the largest number of dele gates.
 We hear a great deal of talk now about Gaynor, but Gaynor Is not bit strong. I will be willing to bet that Un- derwood gets the New York delegation after the second or third ballot"

MT. Roots Keynote Speech

No keynoter could have been se-
 lected who in all respects would have
 exceeded Elihu Root as satisfactory
 spokesman to the controlling influ-
 ences of the republican party. His
 daily business has been the defence of
 trusts and politics comes in as an incident. He truly and fully repre- sents the campaign subscribers who in the past have made republican vic tories possible.
 He unhesitatingly declared at the outset of his keynote speech before the convention at Chicago that his party stands for protective tariff. He denounced a tariff for revenue many thanks. He indorsed the tariff board which is but a device to cover up non-action against the Payne-Ald- rich bill, and he commended the vetoes of President Taft of tariff bills which were real revisions of unjust rates downward. He stood, in short, for all the protection the combined manu- lecturers demand including ample protection for unjust profits on do- mestic sales.
 He also indorsed the scheme of the monetary commission which means in the long run the complete domination of the Wall street magnates over the finances of the country, and he com mended the action of the administra- tiorf in the prosecution of the trusts, although not a single monopoly has been broken up or even weakened. The Standard Oil, for example, is stronger today that it was when suit was begun against it seeking it's dis solution. Neither Taft nor Roosevelt have ever hurt any trust, not one. The entire policy of the republican party in the matter or nlgn tarl11 beneficiaries is to do nothing that will impair or really weaken one of them, and in this way it becomes sure of getting once in four years a great slush fund. What the magnates do not make up the tariff beneficiaries, big and little, will.
 This is republicanism, and MT. Root stood up to it nobly. He did not slip a cog. There is not discordant note in his keynote speech. There is not one that the trusts and the magnates and the high tariff crowd will not fully and freely indorse.

Helen Keller as an Orator

Miss Keller now lives at Wrentham, a suburb of Boston, but in the fall season she will go to Schenectady, N. r., to live. For twenty-five years Mrs. John Macey has been her teacher, companion and friend, and Mir Macey Is the private secretary of Mayor Lunn of Schenectady.
 When Mayor Lunn organized his welfare board to consider tenement conditions, playgrounds and the like it is easy to see how he was induced to consider the appointment of Helen Keller as a member of the board. His innovations have almost turned Schenectady upside down, and he well romed the idea of an appointee who would soon get in touch with the life of the people. Miss Keller had demonstrated her efficiency when she served as a member of the Massachu- sets state commission for the blind.
 It was Miss Keller's ambition to become public speaker. At present her voice is thin and hardly audible in large room, but she expects to develop her voice until she can speak from public platforms. She is a socialist in the broader sense of the word. She believes in the uplift of every human creature.

NOTHING TO DARN

New York Telegram to the Chicago
 Tribune.
 Hail the peek-a-boo stoclSing Of all devices that have proved boon to mos quitoes, the peek-a-boo- hosiery that is about to twine its negligible fllaments about the shapely ankle and classic calf strikes the final chord.
 The interstices or the peek-a-boos are about an inch square, and will stretch farther. They need no alarming. You couldn't darn the darn things. for there isn't darn thing to darn.
 The peek-a- boo stocking is on view at 2s9 West Thrty-ninth street. If Lady Godiva had worn a union suit of it she would have been the same Lady Godiva who made the famous ride.
 It is really no stocking at all The peek a-boo waist is a cloak of mail beside it. She who wears 1t may know in her heart that she pulled on her stockings. but others who look without the aid of strong glasses will know nothing about it.

GETTING AT THE FACTS

 Before l forget 1t. I must place on rec ord a little conversation that had with a maid of Kent on the first morning of my present visit to the delightful town of Folkstone. Southern conversations are very different from northern conversa- tions. have no desire to labor the point. but I am quite sure that neither this dia- log nor the one with the waiter given on this page a couple of weeks ago could have happened in the north of England.

 "Yes, sir.''
 There is nobody in it?'
 "Yes. sir.''
 Then it is not disengaged?"

 Not wishing to go mad, tried another set of rails.
 How many are there?"

English Locomotives,

q used to hear railroad companies of England criticized for not having cabs on their locomotives. but thought it was only a question of time when they would follow the American ex- ample in making the locomotive engi- neer or engine driver as he is called ln England, as comfortable as possi- ble" said a travelled man.
 q was in London about 12 years ago and took occasion to converse with a locomotive engine driver who was in his place ready to move his train when the signal dropped. Our talk lasted three or four minutes. I found the man highly intelligent, of course, and not only intelligent, but very friend ly. I asked him why the locomotives were not supplied with cabs. He said: We Britishers pride ourselves on our physical prowess, love a storm. and tho rougher the weather the more I am on my mettle. Our railroad en- gineers may have some economic or scientific reason for not providing en- zines with cabs, but I really prefer it this way
 I hau not kept up Wltn rdiiroduihS, but supposed that by this time Eng l!sh locomotives would have cabs something like ours. But I happened to see recently a picture of a modem English high speed passenger locomo- tive of the Grand Trunk railroad and there was no enclosed cab.
 "When railroad construction work was in its infancy the English com paliies spared no expense on their road
