AFooT FROM CApETOWN TO CAIRO

MOT long ago Emil Lund, Rhode-aa SETTLER
~ AGED thirtv-six completed a walk from Cape.uan
10 Cairo The feat was undertaken simply from luse
Of adventure and not In ulHlmcnt of any wager t)
test any system Of diet training. Lund started from
Capetown. and walked alone through Cape Province
and the Transyaal % Rhodesa. Thence be continued
through the Kongo State, the Sudan, and the Nuamn
Desert to Egypt distance Of nearly five thousand
miles as the flies.
NV wish. said he. was simply to be the first man
toaccomplish the feat lam prOudest Of having Wake
across the Nubian Desert That was the hardes, tramp
Until ne left EGabcthvilc, in the Belgian Kong.
Lund had a comparatively easy time, since be could
obtain supplies, good food, and good water but Dee
vond that point he met with many difficulties. Iie
had no portcrs carrying all his own npcdimenta weigh
ing about seventy pounds This alone Is no mean task
in q tropical country
For the greater part Of the time Lund obliged %
subsst upon a vegetable diet; but he had meat when
he could get it. In passing through the great forests
he campcI the ground lighting large fire 90 keep
off wild animals This fire he was careful tomain,an
throughout the night At early dawn he would renew
his march, tramping continuously until eleven oc.o,>
when he would cook his one daily NEAL after which
he would sleep until shutdown. Lions and other carnivora
do not usually attack in the heat of the day. I'm the
Katanga District, however, he was bitten by black
mamba snake, and would probably have died had enot
succeeded in reaching native kraal, where he was
successfully treated by native woman.
From Nbcrtvillc the traveller made for Lake Albert,
where he made a wide detour, eventually arriving at
the Nile. which ne followed % Abu Hamci Here he
struck out across the Nubian Desert coming to the Nile

him three days supply Of food and water. But he
crossed the desert in safety and reached kmrtum,

A BUSINESS THAT IS BOOMING.

The manufacture of automobiles in this country isl
an industry that seems to be passing through the trying
period without skiddng backfire or puncture OF TIRE
Not only are large orders being placed for trucks Tor
war purposes by the beligerant governments put the
domestic demand for machines keeps up Inc contnu-
ance of the home demand for automobiles, when the de
nand for many other articles has decreased attributed
mostly to the fact that the manufacturers OF automobiles
have not been much affected by the scare and have kept
p their advertising and sales activities. They nave acteo
as though nothing had happened and nothing mas nap
pened to them
Mark Sullivan editor of Golfers Weekly, at the re-
cent Ad Affiaton meeting at Detroit said in an address
With one of the advertising men here figured out TO-
dav that the gross value of the automobiles that have been
sold in the United States in the past ten years was ABOUT
billion and half dollars We figured out that two per
cent of that passed into advertising cent OF tha
would be thirty million dollars"
Among the interesting figures given by Detroit
banker at the American Bankers Association meeting at
Richmond Va was the fact that there are l40000O a-
tomobes in us in this country with an approximate fig
ue of 100000 cars for the next twelve months produc
tion to be sold by 1880 dealers
He said there are 450 listed manufacturers OF motor
vehicles including ITO making gasoline pleasure cars z4o
commercial gasoline cars n cycle cars II motor IRE APP
paratus Is electric pleasure cars, and "a electric CONNER
cial vehicles ooA soo ooo.
He showed that exports last year were $34,5O0oOO;
that AZ per cent of the cost OF an automople Is III Ce la
bor that future markets lie not alone In the tarng ds-
trcts and the middle classes who can afford the low"
maintenance cost of the presenday models but tha the
foreign countries must buy large number OF our cars
in the future.

see where Mr.. White, of Chicago,
is to lecture tonight on National
Prosperity and international Peace.
While there are many questions and
problems calling for attention and
waiting solution, yet there is no ques-
tion more urging than that Of Peace
and Prosperity.
Without prosperity there can be no
lasting peace. Without peace, pros
perity is endangered A great variety
of remedies have been advanced by
students and fadists as to how pros
perity may be assured, and, as to how
peace may become permanently estab-
lished.
When we shall have discovered and
agreed upon the cause of industrial and
business depression and periodical pan
les, it will be less difficult to deal with
the situation. When the cause of
want and poverty shall have been fully
revealed, it win be easier to find the
remedy.
What is war! What lies behind it
1t is generally conceded that the pres.
ent war despite other elaims) is the
inevitable result of abnormal industrial
ism, causing insane jealousy in the
rivalry for foreign markets.
Thus Germany became jealous of
England s commercial supremacy, while
England feared Germany as a possible
rival in the markets of the world.
Jealousy, selfishness, greed for gold
lust for world favor; these are the
prime movers in this awful catastrophe
which is destroying today the flavor OF
manhood in all of the countries in
volyed in this barbarious carnage.
What difference does it make who
may prove the real provoker or ag
gressor, the kaiser Of Germany, the
ear Of Russia, or the king of England
Are not the peoples-the working
masses--(who have no quarrel will
each other)-the working classes of all
countries, whose happiness lies il
prosperity and peace, are not these thu
real sufferers2 who must fight the bat
ties and spill their blood now, and
later pay the taxes for generations t.

Strange things happen in elections which frequently
illustrate the caeessness lack of interest on the part
of the average voter For instance, man named HuT
burt was nominated in the republican primaries last
spring for joint representative from Multnomah and
Cackamas counties Afterward it developed that ne had
been engaged in criminal questionable affairs which
made him most undesirable candidate and the republl-
can central committee repudated him. too late to get his
name off the ballot An address was issued by the COM
mtee however warning the voters of the party not to
support him and advising them to vote for his opponent
In spite Of this fact on election day Hurburt was given
splendid majority, running well up with the rest OF the
ticket Such incidents are reflection upon popular gov
ernment as the average voter views his responsibilities
and guards his interest.
