When the World Was Drunk.


Nowhere in all the world today can
be found as many confirmed drunk
ards as there were among the Thra-
clans, the 1berians. the Celts or the
Scythians. The man who didn't get
drunk every day or two was regarded
as queer: The Greeks were moderate
drinkers until they began to copy the
luxury Of the Persian feasts. The Ro
mans initiated the Greeks. Then the
whole world went on mad drunk 1t
was saturnalia. Caligula owes his
niche in the hall Of fame to the drunk
en- banquets with which he made even
Rome marvel. The excesses made
fashionable by such potentates as Lu
cullus. Nero. verres. Tiberius. Caligu-
la. Vitellius and Dom1tian really began
in the days of Pompeii. and they mark

MOTOR TRUCKS OlSPGAClNG
 HORSES

While the horse may never actu- ally disappear from our city streets
 it is a fact that motor trucks are rapidly taking the place of horse drawn vehicles in every city. The
 reason for this is very simple, the power wagons are vastly more eco nomical because they carry more
 travel faster and can work longer
 hours
 It is very interesting to analyze
 the economic values of the motor
 truck in comparison with horse
 drawn wagons. The electric power
 truck. travelling at far greater speed. can cover larger territory than a horse and wagon. A single horse. hftched to one-ton wagon. at best cannot cover more than tWenty-t two miles q day, and one half of this distance is usually tra- veIed Without load. The productive mileage is but eleven miles for a days work The tWO-hOrse, three ton wagon will average twenty miles day. or a productive service of ten loaded miles. The three-hOrse, five ton wagon, which is the largest prac- tical unit for city service, is limited to a working radius of eighteen miles day, or nine miles with load. While the ordinary horse and Wag- on is going four miles in an hour, | the one- ton electric truck will cover l eighteen miles It can make a de- ! livery ten miles from the store very nearly two hours quickr than the wagon Where time is money in de- ! livery. such a saving is most i'm ! portant. Even a fiVe-tOn truck, which is the largest size needed in .most businesses. can go ten miles in an hour, or about three times as fast as a three-horse wagons speed. Be sides it's greater speed the motor l truck has the added advantage of 1 being able to work all day and every Lday in rush periods without rest. I Deep snows and icy pavements
 badly cripple every horse delivery service The animals are lamed and
 often permanently injured, long hauls
 are almost impossible and consequent | delivery of mercandise is reduced far below the normal, But these
 weather conditions make little diff l ference with electric trucks. They
 blow right through the snow and
 with chain protected wheels make light of the most glassy pavements.
 Not being subject to diseases of the
 flesh, and especially horse flesh, they
 are not injured by exposure to the

 The impression that the protection of the loWlands must depend entirely on the construction of large ana ade- qUate levees is only partly correct, he says. If the rivers large tributaries were properly drained by straightening and canalizing a greater outlet to the gulf would be afforded The lack of proper opening and drainage of these rivers, especially those west of the Mississippi is an obstruction to proper leveeing and reclamation.
 He tells how England after follow ing a similar Insystematic and costly course for years with her fen lands, at last, a few years ago. learned from Holland the lesson of how to deal with the drainage of the body of land as a whole and at comparatively light cost MT, YOakum sees in the coming early completion of the Panama canal a great opportunity to utilize it's machin- cry and its organized force of engineers in taking up this Mississippi river problem in a comprehensive and sys- tematic way to solve it for all time
