RIVER OF BEER

1t is estimated that the produc-
tion Of beer in the world last year
was 2S2. 087,000 barrels, which is
equivalent to approximately g.
$3.50, 600. 200 gallons. The immen-
sity of these figures is not intelli-
gible until we begin to compare
this volume Of beer with other
large aRgregations of liquid.
The worlds production Of beer
would make a river six feet deep,
ten feet wide and as long as the
Mississippi. 1t would fill the PAN
anna Canal, or keep Niagara Falls
going for several hours. In Scot
land it would fill Loeb Lomond, or
it would keep the many fcun-
tains Of the city of Paris running
six months.
1t required 27.64s brewerics to
manufacture this flood of liquid re-
freshment, producing on an avel-
age 10000 barrels. The United
States leads the world in the pro-
duction of beer, being responsible
for slightly more than one fifth of
the worlds output. Every man,
woman, and child in the United
States was entitled to % gallors of
beer as his share Of the production
but this was far less than the aver
age Bavarian was expected to get
away with. his quota being Gl

DOES CHILD LABOR PAli

The following extract from an
address by Lewis H. Hine at the Ma
tional Conference on Child Labor il;
session at New Orleans pictures
that evil in its true form:
"a procession Of child workers
from the canrcries Of Maine to the
cotton fields of Texas is asking if
it pays.
They start off with happy hearts
and happy faces, for work is fun
at first, but a machine tears ut one
child's body; coal dust smothers an
other; eye strsin and body strain
arrest their development; their
JOY ceases. They ere suon ready for
the human junk pile; and who
foots the bill?
Even if they escape physical
harm. al they escape the mental
and moral faint of i~iiiteracy of
deadening mcnotony. of close &C.
qu%aiutance with vice and crime?
The newsie on the street CANDLES
and knows the underworld: the
messenger b " on his wheel carries
notes to and from the red light
district. The majority of boys in
our Juvenile courts have been
street workers. They have tamper-
ed with the moral buzz-saw.
So, il industry saves by child
labor. society pays, because child
labor works in a vicious cycle by
inadequately preparing children for
life and handicapping them for fut-
ure work and the rearings of their
own families. Industry has stopped
pretty low when it draws 4.year
olds cutting their parents wages
below the point of support by en-
ploying the CHILDREN. 1t robs
children of home, play time and
health. and makes material for in
stitutiors which society builds for
the sick in mind and body. The
expenses society should charge to
child labor we cannot calculate.
Yet eve industry loses by child
labor. It gets lower returns from the
child than from the adult, and pays
for accidents and damages caused
by child workers. More than that
il produces that industrial misfit,
the child labor adult, a man whose
efficiency is ruined by premature
work."

PANAMA CANAL
AND THE SENATE

Honest differences Of opinian are
to be respected, but things have
reached a pretty pass when a Sena-
tor Of the United States has the
cool audacity to intimate, as Mr..
Bristow of Kansas has intimated,
that the President If the United
States is advocating equal tolls for
all shipping, foreign going and do
nestle, because of the power held
over him by the British govern
ment and the transcontineDtaI rail-
ways. This is a gross insult to the
chief magistrate Of the country and
VIC hope the great state of Kansas
will remember it.
Seemingly the duty of replying
to this hesotted accusation has been
left to two senators. Each has ap-
preached the question from vital
yet different points Of view, one
from the vantage ground of inter-
national honesty and the other
from the level horizon Of business

Comes UP On Interpolation.

Berlin.-The matter of other powers
icing indirectly requested to keep out
of Mexico came up in the Reichstag
on an Interpolation by two of the Ma
tional Liberal leaders as to- whether
Provisional President Huerta had
made representations to Germany in
regard to the raising of the embargo
on arms by the United States"
The Interpolation was replied to by
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, Under Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, who
said the United States Government
when it informed Germany of the rails
ing of the embargo, had expressed the
conviction that nobody outside of Mex
leo could effect a settlement of that
country's difficulties.
The restoration of peace in Mexico
Dr. Zimmerman said could be hoped
for only if the Mexican parties were
allowed to fight out their quarrels
without interference, and the raising
of the embargo merely gave American
citizens the same right of selling arms
as was enjoyed by other nations.
The Under Secretary Informed the
House that measures had been taken
to protect Germans in Mexico and de
clared that Mexico would he held fully
responsible for all their property
losses.
