Mr.. harringtOn's Comment.

In submitting his summary Comp
troller Harrington says:
81 am calling your attention to these
large increases, not in the spirit of
criticism, but simply to show that our
general revenues, from which they all
must be paid, will not be sufficient to
meet the same. The moneys received
into the Treasury from the direct tax
levy cannot be used to pay these de-
mands, inasmuch as all moneys deriv-
ed therefrom go to public schools,
sinking funds and road maintenances.
How, therefore, can the Treasury
stand an increased burden of nearly
$1,000,000 for the year 1915, with an
increase of revenue of less than S4O,-

John Wagnon and his Muckalees
returned today with two Dothan scalps
hanging from their belts. The Amer
icus crew made a sensational finish Of
the series after their bad getaway in
the opening game. Two out of three
games. from the Alabama crowd is
way above championship form.
% O o
Yesterday the Muckalees displayed
some class down in Dothan. Nine
hits, nine runs, and not a semblance
of an error. Dothan was treated to a
classy exhibition of baseball on the
part of Americus.
Red Moseley, the gentleman from
Buena Vista, was the boy that had the
stuff in yesterdays game. The sorrel
topped blanked the Alagas and held
their heavy hitters to safe hits. With
the Muckalees backing him in fault
less style the old Mercer star was
able to dish up shutout.
During the three games in Dothan,
Dick Manchester taught the Alagas to
respect his whip. Not a single man
was able to steal on Dick. And they
tried time and again to take an extra
bag On the Muckalee receiver.
Americus, Valdosta, and Waycross,
have opening day today. So far Doth
an has the largest paid attendance for
opening day with 2291 paid admis-

Muckalee's first sacker, "One does
not have to guess very long to arrive
at the conclusion that Jack Guess is

WILL WORK OUT

It is a keen disappointment that Colonel Goethals Is not able to guarantee an unobstructed passage through the Panama canal before the formal opening of the Panama Pacific Exposition. Yet there is 10 reason for Encouragement.
 Colonel Goethals has more than made good his promises. From August to December l, last year, 257 ocean-going vessels passed through the canal, which thereby earned S1,tS5, ,000. And from the first he has constantly kept In the foreground the tmposslbihty of as pertaining how long 1t will take to conquer the Culebra cut.
 Culebrl, as was perceived from the first, is the sticking point in the canal projeat. The cut Is in the side of a small mountain of soft rock which disintegrates when exposed 70 heavy tropical rains and tends to slide toward the man. moth canal trench which has de- prived it of some of It's former lateral support. The sottened mass not only crowds Into the canal from the sides but pushes up from its bottom. In order to reduce the pressure the cut has been widened from $40 to 2,OOO feet, but 1t is not enough to prevent the slides from continuing.
 The remedy and its certainty are obvious. In time the slides, 10 use a homely expression, Will slide themselves out, and that will be the end of It. It remains only to keep the dredges at work and perhaps remove mora of the top weight. Tn the meantime the canal will be in use except during these temporary stoppages, which are bound constantly to become more infrequent.

 Egyptian history and Egyptian commerce, the wonders of the past and the industries of the present, are the product of not more than l2,0O0 square miles, of which more than 2,SU0 square miles are occu- pied by lakes, marshes and patches of desert. And in this area, not equal to one-quarter of the land surface of Ohio, about 12,000,OO0 people manage to find a living. If this state had as many inhabitants in proportion to its size, there would be 5O,OOO,OOO people in Ohio.
 In the Sinai desert Turkish armies are only a possible menace to the British government which holds Egypt. There they are an enormous expense and burden to Turkey. In Egypt, west of the Suez canal-the real Egypt which Is rich, fertile, populous and i'm portant-they would constitute a tremendous peril to the British empire because they would break the prestige of Great Britain in all Northern Africa and close the short sea route to India.

WISE COUNSEL FOR EfERrenI

The Herald hopes, requests and urges that newspapers throughout the country, and especially smaller city. and town dailies and Yeeklies with farm circulation in tine mid dle West will print at least the substance of certain passages in the annual report of Mrs. Mary E. Holmes, head of the travellers aid department of the Chicago Y. M. c. A. It .s addressed to young wo- men who may be thinking of coming to Chicago for employment and to their parents, and is here sum- marked:
 To parents.---Don't let your girls come to the great cities
 if there Is anything for them
 to do at home. On no account
 allow your girl to. leave
 home with so little money that
 she will land in some big city
 with only a dollar or two.
 Young women are safer, better
 able to find employment, and of
 more service to the community
 at home than in Chicago or
 any other large city just at
 present.
 To the gfrls.-If you must
 leave home plan every detail of
 your trip with your parents.
 Bring enough money for at
 least one months living expens- es. Do not plan on meeting
 any person unknown to your pare,1ts. Do not make acquain- tances on the train. On arrival
 find the travellers, aid agent
 she wears uniform and q
 badse-and take her advice
 abCat a place to live. If ever
 in need of help call on the
 Young Women's Christian Asso- citation.
 For twenty years Mary D. Holmes has been mother to Everygirl who sought her help. Over 100000 girls have profited by her advice or found shelter in her arms. No woman, certainly none in Chicago, l' better fitted by experience to give wise advice and counsel to girls. And this is her counsel at this time to Everygirl.-Chicago Herald,

TWO EGYPTs

There $ an Egypt which may be described as political and another which is actual and historical, says the Cleveland Leader. The first Is far more extensive than the second but much less interesting and important.
 When the dispatches say that Turkish troops have invaded Egypt they mean the political Egypt which extends far eastward beyond the limits of the fertile and popu- lous Egypt which has cities and villages, swarming plains and a wonderful past. There are no Turkish forces in the real Egypt.
 The most advanced of the Sul- tan's cavalry may be almost within sight of the masts of vessels in the Suez canal. Desert sands and hos tile forces He between. The bulk of the Ottoman army threatening Egypt is fifty miles or more east Uf the Spez canal, in the desert region known as the Sinai Penin- sula. When Moses led his people out of Egypt that district was con sidered altogether beyond the Egyptian boundaries. It Is empty, desolate and arid in the extreme. In the north, not far from the Mediterranean Sea, 1t is waste of sand and comparatively level In the southern and central part of the peninsula it is mountainous, rugged and nearly waterless.
 In recent times this desert peninsula, lying, in part, between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Abakah, the two arms into which the Red Sea divides at its northern end, has been counted a part of Egypt, for governmental purposes. In like manner Egypt has been held to include the Nubian desert and great stretches Of the Libyan des- ert, the former east of the Nile, the latter west. Politically, Egypt is a country Of about 100000 square miles, note including the Sudan region connected with it and dependent, in large measure, upon 1t. But the inhabited and cultivated part Of Egypt means only the Nile Delta and the thread of green which borders the great

his several reels of motion pictures

of the most rugged section of the
United States. where waterfalls OF I'M
usual beauty drop from heights of
nearly half a mile. of beautiful. mir
ror-like lakes, surrounded by tremen-
dous mountains, he showed mahy pic
lures of the fauna and flora OF the
country.
Mr.. Pillsbury added to his pictures
an interesting description of the gran
dest playground in the world. The
pictures he showed he said had been
secured by riding over 900 miles of
mountain trail. crossing thirty noun
tain passes from 10000 to 1880 feet
elevation, visiting over 100 Of the 700
lakes in the park. and numerous high
mountain peaks, among them Mount
Lyell. $1,000 feet high. the highest
point a motion picture camera has
reached in the United States.

when. as he explained 1t, warm cur

steep mountain came into contact at
the top with moisture-laden colder cur
rents from above. The effect present

their desire to make all parts of the
various parks available to tourists in
