prediction made to Clyde b. Furst, sec
retary of the Carnegie foundation, "by
representative Hollander" when Mr..
Furst was leaving Rotterdam less than
two weeks ago.
When Mr.. Furst's Dutch acquaint-
-6nce made that prediction the natural
question. "On which side?" brought
the answer:
II cannot tell you that. but you can
imagine II by my saying that we can
protect our country, but we cannot
protect our colonies"
II is supposed this answer was an
other way OF saying Holland would
line up with the allies.

cred. And when he was apprehended,
about four blocks from the starting

Beans Versus Peoples.

China has advanced SO far in her
fight against opium that other crops
are being planted in place OF peoples.
In the Chunking district, large areas
formerly devoted to poppy culture are
now covered with a good crop of soy
beans.
The traditional beating of swords in
to plowshares was not a more notable
victory for progress than this. The
use of the land has been turned from
death unto life in the most literal
sense of the term. Instead of pro-
duclng an insidlous poison, the fields
Of Chunking are bearing food; instead
Of crop peculiarly exhausting to the
soil has come one which enriches the
soil
II the Chinese revolution had done
nothing but deal the death blow to
opium, 1t would be many times worth
while.

an obstinate felon by covering It with
aseptic gauge soaked in equal parts Of
glycerine and saturated solution Of ep-

removed for awhile and the finger
was soaked in hot water and borax
(half water) for fifteen or twenty
minutes. After several weeks Of wet
dressing and soaking. oxide Of zinc

Developing Northern Australia.

A large cold storage works is to be
erected at Port Darwin, Northern ter

Cold Storage company; a concession
for that purpose having recently been
signed by the commonwealth minister
for external affairs. Australia has IL, :
100000 head of cattle. mostly In the
wide, woll-grassed tablelands of the
north, and the erection of local meat
works is the first step in a great ad-
vance Of the export trade, the meat
works Of Queensland and the south
ern parts of Australia being quite in
adequate to deal with the rapid In
crease In the export trade during the
past few years. The news also marks
a step in the development of that vast
unpopulated northern area which
Australia is determined to keep for
the white race. 1t has long been
recognized that the natural advan-
tages Of this region made II especially
a pastoral province. The common.
wealth government announced few
days ago that they were preparing to
spend $60,000.000 during the next
three years In railway construction
between Port Darwin and the interior
and the South.

PANAMA is NOT OLDEST CITY
First Town Built In 1919 was De-

Recently It has frequently been
stated land nearly as often disputed)
that Panama IL the Oldest city on the
American continent. The discussion
10 apparently settled In . published
letter by @. w. Redway. who. quot
ing from historical authorities. says
the present city was founded in 1873.
Old Panama, however. was founded
by Pedro Arias in 1919. and in its time
was the oldest town built by Euro
peans on the main land Of the Ameri-
can continent San Domingo. on the
island Of Hayti, is older by fifteen
years, having been founded in 1904 by
Diego Columbus.
when Sir Henry Morgan" contin-
ues Mr.. Redway, was doing business,
he took q shipload Of buccaneers and
seized Old Providence, an island not
far from the Caribbean coast OF the
lsthmus Of Panama, and making this
the ostensible base Of operations, he
attacked and captured Darien, and
thence made his way across the 18TH
mus and captured Panama, burning
and destroying the city.
This occurred in 1871. Two years
later the present city was rebuilt by
Villacosta, few miles distant from
Old Panama, the ruins of which are
still standing. In fact, the site is now
occupied by native village"
