CHARITY MITE BOX
SHOULD BE PROBED
New York Merchants Set Lead by
Urging That Organizations
be Investigated,

Merchants should be careful about
allowing mite boxes for charity to be
put in their stores, promiscuously
The reason is that when a customer
sees box displayed In the store in
which he has been in the habit OF
trading, he naturally believes that the
organization back OF the mite box Is
reputable and is worthy Of patronage
The New York merchants associa.
ton has had to call q halt on just
this matter, according to the follow,
ing clipping:
THE Merchants association OF
Greater New York has found 1t advis-
able to caution members Of their or.
ganization against indiscriminate plac.
ing of mite boxes in places Of bust.
ness. 1t is stated that in New York
several organizations which have not
been doing good work have made use
OF the mite boxes as means OF rails.
ing funds by placing large number
of them in business houses. The Mer
chants association points out that
when customer sees a mite box dis
played by firm where he or she has
been buying goods regularly, 1t is i'm
mediately assumed that the object FOL
which the money Is solicited deserves
support. Permission to place mite
| box in an establishment Is endorse
| ment of that project and business
man should not permit a mite box
| to be placed in his establishment
until he is thoroughly familiar with
| the charitable organization that thus
seeks his endorsement"
The lesson might be brought home
to local merchants and they be urged
to look carefully into the charity or
ganizations which they are supporting

500 "Third Lock-"

sAULT STE MARIE, Mich, July
20.-With q length $50 feet greater
than any other lock in the world, the
new third lock" at the 500 canal Is
rapidly nearing completion and en-
gineers In charge Of the work today
predicted that within month it will
be open to navigation. The new lock
has total length OF 1880 feet, q
width Of so feet and depth sufficient
to permit boats of "a foot draft to
pass through it.
The completion Of this new work
will be epochal in the history OF great
lake navigation. With the locks al
ready in operation here, It will per-
nit a gross tonnage to pass through
from the waters OF Lake Superior to
the lower lakes that is ten times
greater than the expected annual
tonnage of the Panama canal. Three
locks are now in operation in the
canal, two on the American side OF
the st. Mary's river and one on the
Canadian side. Two additional locks
are under construction on the Ameri-
can side, one, known as the third
lock-" to be completed during the
latter part OF August.
During the eight months OF the nav
fgation season of 1913, approximately
&C, 100000 tons of freight passed
through the 500 locks. Since the start
Oh the development Of the iron mining
industry OF the upper Michigan reg
ions, more than 500,000,00O tons OF
iron ore have been shipped through
the canal to ohio, Pennsylvania and
Indiana points. In addition enormous
shipments OF copper ore, lumber and
wheat have passed through the big
locks, the wheat shipments alone now
aggregating approximately 2o0,O0O.UO0
bushels annually.
History OF the 500 locks extends
back over a period Of lit years. In
1897, the Northwest Fur company con
structed here the first lock on the
North American continent, but in 1914
IL was destroyed by United States
troops as a war measure. No further
attempt to make navigable the waters
dividing Superior and the lower lakes
was made until 1854 when the state Of
Michigan constructed two locks, each
$50 feet in length, and OF SUFFICIENT
depth to permit vessels Of 12-foot draft
to pass through.
In 1870, the United States govern
ment took over an interest in the
canal and eleven years later had com.
pleted the We,tzei lock, which Is still
liz operation for the use Of small boats.
In 1887, the federal government
assumed complete control Of thu can
a! The government then ordered the
destruction OF the old state locks and
the erection of what is now known as
the poe lock-" This undertaking was
completed in 1896. The Poe lock is
500 feet long, 100 feet wide and ad-
mits vessels drawing Is feet of water.
