Proposal For Contractors

Editor The Times:
wish you would take the mat
ter up in your paper to encour-
age contractors and corporations
to do the same way here as in
some other cities.
Throughout the hard times
they employ men one or two
weeks at the time and change
them off so all have a chance to
make their living. This relieves
grief and sorrow for many poor
men. and at the same time 1t re-
lieves the county and city of
their burden.
Yours truly,

The First Canal Builder,

General Cocktails is the latest canal
builder to achieve fame, but he has
had many predecessors, and the earliest
SO far as is known was one Naram-
Sin, who nearly 5000 years ago open
ed a canal from Nippur to the Eu-
pirates. This was discovered by DR..
George A.. Barton in deciphering some
of the ancient Sumerian tablets at the
museum Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. He found a tablet dated "the
year when the divine Naram-Sin opened
the mouth of the canal Erin at Nip
pur.' This vas not an Irish canal, so
far as is known, but it was a great
event in the history of Nippur, which
gave it transportation facilities with
the res of the world. Naram-Sin was
a king Of Babylonia, and he is respon-
sible only for financing the canal, and
slaves probably did the work.-Balti-

Trout In Quarry Pits,

Abandoned granite quarry pits in
Gloucester have yielded many more
brook trout to the fishermen in that
community in the open season than the
brooks in the woodland, according to
information received at the offices Of
the Massachusetts state fish and game
commissioners. Edward Babson, Sec
rotary Of the Cape Ann Fish and Game
Protective association. was the first one
to think Of having the quarry pits
stocked with trout, and two years ago
six cans of lingering trout were placed
in the three pits. This season. when
many Of the amateur fishermen found
very few fish in the brooks, they cast
their lines into these pits. and since
then there has been a satisfactory
catch all around. John e. Peterson is
believed to have had the high line thus
far, having caught forty-nine trout in
the pits in a short time.

THE HUMAN FOOT.
In Its Primitive State It Was Larger
Than 1t Is Today.

Artists say that no Greek sculptor
would have ever dreamed of putting
q nine inch foot on Il five and one
half foot woman The types for the
classic marble figures were taken from
the most perfect forms of living per
sons. Unquestionably the human foot,
as represented by the ancient sculptors,
was larger than the modern one, and,
in fact, the primitive foot of all peoples
statuary or otherwise, was consider
ably larger than the restricted foot Of
modern times.
The masculine foot, forming an ap-
proXimate average Of four different
countries, was about twelve inches
long. This would require at least a
No. 10 shoe to cover it comfortably.
The average masculine foot today Is
easily fitted with n No. So shoe and
is, therefore, not above ten and seven
%sixteenths inches. Now, by the old
%sculptural rule of proportion a man
five feet nine inches in height should
have a foot eleven and one-half inches
long. or one-sixth his height. 1t was of
no great consequence what size sandal
he Wore, but he would have required
a modern shoe of at least a No. lON
for a minimum fit or a No. II for real
comfort.
For women, allowing for the differ
ence In the relative size Of the sexes,
which was about the same then as
now, q woman of five feet three inches
in height would have had a foot ten
inches long, requiring a modern shoe
Of the size No. 6 as the most comforta
bic or a No. 81 as the limit of comfort

Motorboat Wonder For DrexeI.

George w. Childs Drexel, the Phila-

the Corinthian Yacht club, is having
built for himself the speed wonder Of
the 1915 crop Of motorboats, a run
about which will be guaranteed to
average thirty-two miles an hour. The
boat will be called the Ace and will be
about fifty feet in length and will have
a beam Of seven feet eight and one-half
inches. Her lines and general appear
ance as to construction Of the hull,
coupled with the immense power to be
installed, give every indication hat the
new craft will be able to attain q speed
of about thirty-tive miles per hour.
Fol propulsion two eight-cylinder high
speed motors will be installed in the
boat, each of which is rated at about
200 horsepower. The boat is about one
third completed and will be ready for
launching early in the coming motor

The Land of Cattle.'s

Italy may fairly claim to be senior
among the nations of Europe, so far
as its name is concerned. The PENN
sula has been Italia" almost as far
back as eve legend reaches. Accord
ing to Mommsen, the "Itali" proper
were the inhabitants of the southern
part Of the country. AS to the origin
Of the name, there is the normal leg
end of a King Italus, but his name
must have been pronounced Vitalus
