Of the South.

Statistics prepared by the Forestry
Service Of the United States show that
OF the 125,000,000 crossties bought BY
the railways last year almost 80 per
cent. were hewed ties. The sawed tie.
while occasionally produced by mills
built particularly for this purpose. is
more generally by-product Of general
lumber operations.
The best board cuts are taken from
the side of the logs, and the heart IL

into ties when the value Of the lumber
they would make is not more than that

to Missouri and Arkansas south from

Heavy Expense Main Reason That
Musical Part Of Military Force
Will Be Dropped.

London.-The British army without
brass band-such is the doleful
prophecy of the Pail Mall Gazette. 1t
says that a definite proposal has been
brought forward that all the brass
bands of the army except those Of
the guards regiments, shall be abol-
ished, and that the sole music provid-
ed for the future shall be that of the
drums and flies and bugles, with the
pipers for the Scottish regiments.
Some years ago fresh regulations
were made as to the maintenance Of
regimental bands. The cost Of them
fell entirely on the officers. The new
regulations threw some OF the expense
on the public purse. But even now 1t
is considered that in modern, bust
ness army the officers should not be
liable to this kind of expenditure.

New South Wales Spends Mil
lions for Spirits.
Figures Arc startIIng-canon Boyce
Presents Statistics Showing tx
penditures by 8eople for
Liquor In 1910.

Sydney, N. 8. Win his annual re.
view Of the drink bill of New South
Wales for 1910, self-appointed task
which he has been carrying out with
praiseworthy perseverance for nearly
30 years, Canon Boyce draws attention
to some interesting points. In the
first place the bill reaches the enor-
nous total Of e5,724.984 ($2s, 1924, 900,
an increase on the preceding year of
9407,302 ($2,036, 500), due in a great
measure, of course, to the increased
prosperity Of the people. OF this tre-
mendous sum more than half was
spent on spirits, which shows an in
creased consumption of 12S,470 gallons
as compared with 1909. The sum of
92,231.922 ($11,159,600) was spent on
colonial beer, the "workingman's bev-
erage," showing an increase of consid-
erably over 100000 gallons as CON-
pared with the preceding year.
Out of the total sum Of G1,413,914
($7,069, 5000, or less than one-fourth,
went to the revenue. either in the
shape Of license fees or customs and
excise. Against the revenue obtained
from the drink traffic Canon Boyce
places huge debit balance amount
Ing he thinks, to at least $4,000, 900
($1O,OOO,O O0), through the maintenance
OF our reformatories and jails, asylums
for the insane and various other insti-
tutions which are rendered necessary
to large extent by the abuse of in
tox1cat1ng liquors, an expense which,
OF course. has to be borne in mind
when considering the question as it
should be consideration a moral
as we'll as financial point of view.
The cost per head Of the population is
placed at 23 los. Sd. ($17.13), or 81
LIS. Sd ($37.09) for a family Of five
persons. This Is very vague way of
reckoning it. and children, for the
most part, and large numbers of ad-
ults never touch intoxicating liquors
at all. Still, 1t is the only way sta
tisticians have of making the expendi-
ture clear to the intelligence of the
people.
One years expenditure sounds bad
enough, but when we reckon by the
decade 1t becomes appalling. The drink
bill Of New South Wales, for example,
during the ten years since federation
was established amounted to nearly
s50.000,000 ($250, 900, 000). Why, the

U. S. SEEKS ISLAND TITLE
Palmyra, GOO Miles From Hawaii, Dis
covered by American in 1852
Proclaimed Part Of Kingdom.

Washington.-Rum that Great
Britain intended to take possession of
Palmyra island Tin reality group of
fifty islets), lying about 600 miles
southwest Of Hawaii and almost in a
direct line between Australia and the
Panama canal, resulted in the subject
being made a matter of inquiry unof-
ficially at the state department the
other day.
Officials protested ignorance of any
issue being raised as to the ownership
Of the island, but admitted that title
was vague.
Palmyra island was discovered IN
1852 by an American shipmaster, was
proclaimed part Of the kingdom of
Hawaii in 1882, and was annexed by
Great Britain in 1889. The question
at issue is whether the British annexa-
ton cancelled the prior Hawaiian
title, for if it did not, then Palmyra
island would probably be held to have
been annexed to tho United States in
1893
