very much in doubt The Abbott team

Americas Economic Strength

Although the opinion abroad is shared by this country that the war will check temporarily the economic development of the United States, the conclusion of peace will mark the be- ginning of an era of unprecedented prosperity.
 The vast natural resources of America and the character of its peo- ple have already given it prodigious strength, which has been increased by the freedom from great wars and perhaps to a certain extent by real or fancied security which has spared us the burden of vast military eX- penditures. Even in the presen. crisis of the worlds affairs, this country has weathered the storm re- markably we'll. For the 12 months ending June 1 the exports have eX- ceeded imports by approximately ST. 900 ,OO0, ,000, exclusive of imports of precious metals. For the first time in it's history the United States ceases to be debtor country and becomes creditor country, lending money abroad.
 tho tiIn of European capital, which has been checked, will again flow into this country to a greater extent than ever before. Not only will the United States profit directly by it's economic strength, but the confidence inspired abroad will quicken investments from that source and the capital to develop our natural resources will be prac- tically unlimited. Financiers have found that America has stability which the greatest crises cannot shake and money invested here is safer than it is abroad where ire cons ant fric-  ton between nations is liable at any time to result in war.
 America will reap not only these substantial advantages, but we have also learned some important lessons from the war, such as the need of a merchant marine, and we have awak ened to the fact that our indifference has permitted other nations u develop trade, particularly in South America, which we could have easily acquired for ourselves.
 The most ingrained pessimist can not but acknowledge that the future of the United States is brighter now than it has ever been before.

 had the first public conveyances, which
 were forerunners of the modern "jitney
 bus" The hackney carriage was estab- lished in London in 1925 by Captain Raily, retired sea captain He put four coaches into service. dressed his men in livery and instructed them how much to charge for transporting persons to va rlous parts of London The first hack ney coach stand was al Maypole in the Strand. The idea became popular and the enterprising sea captain soon had compet- itors. For a time there were only 20 hackney coaches in London In 30 years the number increased to 200, and in the time of Charles II hackney cabs which now numbered about 4000, were stigmatized in royal proclamation as a public nuisance
 'by reason of their rude and disorderly standing and passing to and fro in and about our cities and suburbs, the streets and highways thereof being pestered and much impa assible, the pavement broken up and the common passages obstructed and made dangerous. Henceforth none shall stand in the street. but only within their coach houses, stables and yards" However the objection to hackney cabs standing in the streets was overcome and in 110 they were allowed to seek custom unmolested. The number was limited to 800, which increased to 1000 in I'll and to HOO in 1892. The pioneer in operating pub lie conveyances in France was Nicholas Sauvage. He originated the term ''f1acre." denoting a sort of hooded gig. The name was later applied to four-wheel conveyances. The French style of vehicle crossed the channel and became popular in England under the name of cab. A Birmingham manufacturer named Han som patented the "hansom cab," which Is still used in all countries. Lord Beaconsfield called 1t the "gondola of London"

Great Improvement In Husine..

IT business Improvement was slow and spotty a few months ago IL is now very general. and anything but slow said W. s. Raum of New York city
 "lr every section of the country one sees signs of prosperity, and the rep 'esenetative of big New York bank told me last week that more capital was being turned loose now for in- Vestment in business projects than at any time within the past two years.
 Just before the European war be- san business conditions were said 10 fe sound, but yet there was very little new capital seeking investment. Of course. during the early months of the war depression prevailed in bust ness circles in this country. As con ditions improved there was feeling that after the war was over there would be a great boom.
 Tt looks now as if the boom could not wait. At any rate. the fact that confidence has been restored, and that millions of money are being invested in all sort of legitimate enterprises makes for high degree of buoy ancy."

New Policy Toward Mexico

President Wilson's "watchful wait ing" policy toward Mexico, which the administration announced more than two years ago, was cordially ap- proved by enlightened and patriotic Americans at the time; but as condi- tions in that turbulent republic grew worse and as anarchy and famine spread, there was much criticism of the Washington government for it's continued nonintervention attitude.
 Several months ago it looked as if the United States would have to in tervene and assist in setting up stable government. There seemed ample reason for it. Had President Wilson acted then on the line he pro- poses to act now, something like law and order might have been in evidence in Mexico today. But whether or not the administration was justified in holding off awhile longer, crisis has at last been reached
 The factional leaders in Mexico must compose their differences and that within "a very short time" and government must be set up in Mex ico City worthy of this country's recognition and the worlds respect, or else the United States will proceed to take charge of the situation.
 President Wilson's statement em- bodying solemn warning to the lead CTS of the factions, issued yesterday, could not have been clearer or stronger. There can be no temporiz- ing on the part of those responsible for anarchy in Mexico.
 It may be that the leaders will come to their senses and escape the humiliation that foreign intervention would bring down upon their country It may be that they will set themselves to work immediately to restore order and erect bona fide constitutional government But they have been so brutalized by human atrocities that they will be scarcely able to rise to the occasion.
 If it becomes necessary for the Uni ter States to invade Mexico and send a large body of troops to the Mexican capital, the probability is there would be little fighting. This government would have to remain in control for many months, possibly year or more, but once committed to the task of its unhappy neighbor in the principles of democratic rule, the United States will stay with the work until it is completed

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 "HE pedometcr, or the odometer, or
 some equivalent to this invention
 with another name, has been known since very ancient times, but it was not until the middle of the eighth century that an instrument was constructed by Hohl- field, a young artist of Berlin. which ac- curately recorded the distance travelled. The pedometer to most minds would seem like q toy rather than useful article, but it is a most valuable invention and for many centuries great minds had been at work trying to construct an instru- ment for this use.
 We are told by Captolnus, in the life of the Emperor Pertinax, that among the effects of the Emperor Commodus ex- posed to sale there were carriages of va rious kinds, some of which measured the roads and pointed out the hours. v That this instrument was known even in the fifteenth century can be proved from the carving on the ducal palace at Urbino erected to Duke Frederic who died in 14s2.
 The celebrated John Fernel, physician of Catherine de Medici Queen of France mea sured with an instrument that must have resembled the pedometer in con struction. a degree of the meridian oe- tween Paris and Amiens. From this time on to the Hohlfeld invention various types of instruments for the measurement Of distance travelled were constructed There Is a model of Hohlfeld's instru- ment now preserved in collection made by Count de Podewils. He was born or poor parents in the mountains of Saxony | in I'll His inventive genius first turned l to the construction of clocks. In the year | HAS he became acquainted with the cele- | brated Suzer. at whose desire he under | took the construction of machine for noting down any piece of music when | rlayed on a harpsichord

 vented threshing machine and another ] for chopping straw.
 I His next invention was the pedometer.
 and the one on which his fame rests. His machine far exceeded anything previously
 made His original machine was lost in
 a fire. but he set immediately to work and constructed another and a simpler ma chine, which was so contrived as to be buckled between the spokes of a wheel
 Nine years later when the Duke of Courand, then hereditary prince. resided in Berlin. he paid visit to Hohlfeld. and lendeavored to prevail upon him to go to Courland. by offering him large pen. sion. but this ingenious man was so much

If the Devil Ran for Office

"1f the devil were running for of flee he would receive a flattering vote in some localities"
 This is a statement reputed to the Rev. Frank Hollenbeck of Denver, by newspaper in that city. Enlarging upon his subject, Mr. Hollenbeck con- tinued:
 of the devil were caught in crime, arrested and placed on trial for his life, it would be harder than we SUD- pose to find jury that would unani- mously desire to hang him.
 ''The evidence is all against him; he has set his trademark indeliby on many. The output of the devils work shop is entirely discreditable. The task of the age is to put him out of business"
 There are four kinds of ammunition which the devil cannot withstand, ac- cording to the Denver preacher.
 Truth, if given the right of way for "A hours, he says, would kill tho devil beyond hope of resurrection Gratitude would end his business ane charity and the maintenance of gooc conscience would be equally fatal tt his satanic majesty.

 Too many young men of today think that a free-and- easy manner denotes clev- erness and manlness. They need to learn that a mans character is indicated by his manner of accosting another and by his bearing in the presence of others. To wear ones hat in an office, or in the presence of ladies' to accost anyone cx- cept a personal friend by the first name, and especially by nickname; to interrupt conversation; all of those habits stamp man i'll bred and lacking in consid- erat tion and respect for others

taehed to his friends, that he would not.
 merely for sef-interest, quit Berlin.
 Besides the machines already mentioned as having been constructed by Hohlfeld. he constructed several useful models. Among these were a loom for weaving figured stuffs, so contrived that the wes/s- CTS had no need of anything to shoot through the wool; pedometer for placing in the pocket, convenient and simple bed
 for an invalid, which was of such na- ture that the patient with very little ef-
 fort could at any time raise or lower the breast. and when necessary convert the bed into a stool. He also constructed a most unique model in which the front of g. carriage was so formed, that if the horses took fright and ran away, the person in it could. by a single push loosen the pole and set them at liberty, but this
 model has been lost.

 A little before his death Hohlfeld had the pleasure of seeing a curious harpsi-

 an elegant apartment in the new palace al Potsdam. As he had for sometime neglected this instrument, the too great attention which he bestowed in putting it in order contributed not little to bring
