ages from the south, with a cry of
despair, turned and fled. They were
pursued and slain till the pursuers
could go no farther. The guns of the
white man had decided the battle.
So in 1909 did Samuel de Cham
plain cement this friendship and that
of the French with the Algonquins
and Hurons. And thus began the
long struggle with Indians on each
side between the French and Eng
fish, for the defeated Iroquois sought
the aid of the English against the
French.

Halsey street Still Blocked.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
For weeks the Hastings Paving
Company has kept Halsey street,
from Market street to Branford
place, closed to traffic. How many
weeks, l do not know, because it
has passed my recollection, but I do
know that the business of automo-
bile dealers and supply houses on
Halsey street has been steadily
dropping.
1 am one of those dealers and I
think it is an injustice to keep us
cut off from Market street. one of
the city's main arteries of traffic
1t seems to me that the Hastings
Paving Company could put a little
more effort in it's work and rush
things through. l do not know much
about paving, but it occurs to me
that more men could be used on the
job and they would not crowd one
another. l think, too. that Branford
place and Halsey street should not
be blocked. Autos that can't get
into Halsey at Market will naturally
turn in at Branford place, and there's
another disappointment there.

made the suggestion of a canal at
Panama, ''by which the voyage to the
South sea would be shortened by
more than 1,500 leagues"
In 1903 Champlain made his first
voyage to Canada. He made friends
with the Indians, and explored the
st. Lawrence to the rapids above
Montreal. Then, seeking a site for a
settlement, he explored as far south
as Cape Cod. In 1908 he planted a
settlement at Quebec.
Champlain discovered Lake Cham
plain, long the most important high
way between Canada and the English
settlements to the south. He was
again in Canada in 1911 fighting with
and against the Indians, and estab-
lished a trading post at Montreal.
His two great desires were to find a
way to the Indies and to convert the

Calling to New England for Relief.

This country has reached a point
where it must eat far less meat or else
produce great deal of it. Consump-
tion overlook production several years
ago and the situation is now approach
ing q crisis. This state of affairs is
by representatives of the
packing industry in convention at
Chicago.
As RENE lies the packers advocate the
following steps: Cf)v Every sma1f- FAR
mer should raise at least two beef
steers; (2) make cattle-raising coun-
try of New England. with its well-wat-
cred hills and fine shade; 60 substitute
corn for cotton in many parts of the
South and begin the raising of food
great cattle ranges of the West into
small farms so that the farmers of the
eountry shall be placed on an equal
basis as food stock raisers.
OF these suggestions. we believe the
one advocating the raising of a few
beef steers by every small farmer is a
very good one. A large proportion of
farms in the East embrace tracts Of
land unsuited for planting, but entirely
available for pasturage. II what may
+ be termed intensive stock raising
were applied on every American farm
of this kind. hundreds of thousands of
families would be supplied with 10
eral meats thus relieving the increas-
| ing demand upon Chicago ana Kansas
| City packers.
Steps should be taken to convince
the farmer that he throws money away
every time he sells calf to the butcher
| lie should he shown that calf turned
into the back field and permitted to
develop into beef (aided by n little
corn at fattening time) will increase
the yearly income. This program, if it
does not reduce the price of beef, may
at least prevent il from going too much

LESS WORK BUT MORE PAY.
Wages Have Increased Rapidly Despite
Reduction of Hours.

There was a steady increase in the
scale of wages paid to labor in this
country in the past six years and this
was accomplished in the face of a
steady reduction of working hours.
Statistics prepared by the department
of labor indicate that labor now is
receiving more remuneration for fewer
hours of toll than ever before The
figures are based on comparisons of
union wage scale agreements, trade
unions reports and working compacts
in central cities throughout the United
States from 1907 to 1912.
The bakers appear to have carried
off the cake in the distribution of good
things, for their wages were increased
22 per cent in the six years while
their working day was shortened one
fifth Stonecutters and newspaper com
positors are the lowest in the scale in
the matter of reduced hours.

reason the agreement Of proper officials

many years expenditure by the w. G.
7. L. for that purpose had not been
fulfilled. but it will be expected an
other year. The union is saving funds
for a possible public drinking fountain
for man and beast.
