The west coast of South America is practically a continuation of longitude of the east coast of the United States Hence, with the completion of the Panama Canal the distances by land to the ports on the west coast of South America have become fully double those by sea. For example, from New York to Guayaquil, the port of Ecuador, the distance by a transc ontinental railway would be through the canal by water is only 2,864 miles. So with Callao, the port of Lima the capital of Peru, the railway distance from New York would be 7,6O0 miles, while the steamer distance is only 3,359 miles. The sea route is not only cheaper, butt it is actually quicker than any conceivable railroad route could be. It is quite true as Secretary McAdoo declares, that the total distance be- tween Buenos Ayres and New York, 10,3O0 miles, is already traVersed Ev 7.400 miles of rail. But these were already finished years ago, and 1he in tervening 2,90O miles are never like ly to be finished until some other than a commercial reason can be given for investing s5O0,000,OOO in their con- struction.-New York Journal of Commerce. -...-

Mother.

Hanging on the walls of memory. Since childhood's earliest hour I can picture my dear Mother With her motherh ood in flower. Four stalwart sons she'd seen grow m Two younger lowered near; Her love brimmed OCT for each and
 all, That blessed Mother dear. One daughter lived to mature years, Two others meath the sod No woman married, lived and died. Whose soul was nearer God. A heart all love and sympathy. God led her by the hand: Her heart was pure, her faith secure. To reach the promised land And when my lifes brief span is o'er And cross over Jordans tide; The only gift I pray to God Is a welcome to her side. For up beyond the pearly gates, Amidst the Heavenly throng, She's beckoning brother, you and I. God grant the waits not long. When one and all are gathered there. Around Gods mercy seat; She'll plead atonement for us all. At the Blessed Masters feet. With such a Mother, such a love. In the beautiful land over there: If we live as she taught, we'll die as
 we ought, Ever breathing her name in prayer.

The decision of the council to per
 init the safety board to purchase an auxiliary patrol automobile is coming in for considerable discussion. The idea Is practical. however, and will do away with many of the delays oc- casioned by having to wait until the ambulance returns from one call be- fore it can be sent on another The safety board is empowered to buy a touring car at a cost not to exceed $500 and it is understood that a SIX cylinder car in good condition IS under consideration. At present the patrol auto has to do ambulance service Tor the hospital as well and thereby brings in no little revenue to the city. or times the patrol is out on a duty call when another call comes Tn Whlch needs immediate attention. At pres ent such a call has to wait until the natrol returns but with an auxiliary car such delays will be avoided. It will not be necessary for the depart 1 ment to engage another patrol driver, as any one of the regular men who is in the station can be sent out. It Is ] not difficult to learn to run machine 1 and if Officer A. c. Malone, Sergeant l Samuel Bamforth, Chief Rawlings, 1 Officer Gustav Hellberg and one or 1 two other men learn to drive the ma chine it will be able to care for any ] emergency calls that may be received. |
 It is understood that before many l more weeks pass the several regular | traffic officers will blossom forth re- splendent with their coat sleeves adorned with traffic insignias. Ever since traffic posts were created a connie of years ago. the several Sa fety l boards have considered the purchase ] of chevrons for the traffic police, but 1 as vet none were ever purchased. Other cities having traffic squads i designate such officers with proper in 1 signias on their coat sleeves and it is ' time New Britain's police department followed suit.
