TRAFFIC IN PANAMA CANAL
Largest Single Item of Cargo Passing

By Associated Press.

and half ending November / seven.
teen eastbound vessels passed through
Inc canal, carrying total of 122,25S
tons OF grain, consisting of 1892 tons
OF barley and 1926 tons of wheat.
Counting 81 bushels of wheat and 46
OF barley to the long ton, the cargo
amounted tc 1,S25,O62 bushels of
wheat and 3,541,S57 bushels of bar.
ley. total of 5,179,934 bushels Of
grain.
The next largest single item of car
go carried through the canal during the
same period was nitrates, principally
from Chile. This was carried in Ia
vessels and amounted to 99,126 tons.
The distance saved by the vessels
from the United States by the use of
the canal instead of the Magellan route
is estimated at $3.50 miles. If the
average speed of the vessels be rated at
10 knots, the saving in time at sea per
vessel was 23 days. On the basis of
per diem cost of operation at sea of
10 cents per net registered ton, the av-
erage saving in cost of operation per
vessel was 5000 per day, or $7,116.
The average tolls paid on 1850 tons
at $1.2O per ton were $4,S60. The
average net saving per vessel by use
OF the canal was accordingly $2,256.

Chinas attitude toward Japan must be consid-

When China shows itself to be more submissive

BRAINS AND PHYsIoUEs

If any endorsement has as yet been given to the
suggestion of DR.. Butler president of Columbia
University that higher education be restricted to
the physically fit, it has escaped notice The
idea has been so thoroughly ampooned by the press
that other educators perhaps are somewhat back
ward about coming out definitely and sharing in
the ridicule.
What Columbia s esteemed president implied by
his proposal was that since large amounts of money
are spent ON the education of individuals, there
do not spend their lives as invalids, or go into
early graves, but that they return more than the
value of their education to their communities in
personal service.
Such assurance would be desirable surely, if
it could be given by all college and university stu
dents Yet even to the sturdiest alumni of the best
universities accidents may happen and expensive
educations go to naught. Educators must take
chances on their pupils.
1t would seem that the intellects and the morals
of new students need to be tested more thoroughly
than the physiques, if university admittance re-
qurements are to be raised in any desirable way
healthy alumnus may waste his education as
much as sick one. He may even do harm with it
by applying it to unprinciped uses.
Good brains do not always go with good phys
iques any more than do good physiques invariably
accompany good brains. If higher institutions of
learning to it, however, that the ntelects and
the morals of their students upon matrculation
are sound, they can afford to disregard the phys
iques save that there should be efforts made to
improve weak men by thorough courses in physical
instruction.
