will enable them to take care of the trade of the Mississippi valley, no matter how much it may grow.
 Tn order that I might describe the ex- tent of the docks the commissioners of the, dock board sent me on the fire tug Samson up and down the whole length of inc water front, allowing me to make photographs on the way. We steamed ieisurely from dock to dock and from warehouse to warehouse, covering a dis" tance of something like p miles. The available water front in. the city is Al miles. and this all belongs to the mu- nicipality. The municipal docks already built have a length of seven miles. There are also five miles of warehouses, great sheds of galvanized iron, which lie right on the river, with the Belt Line rail- road hebInd them. Certain docks are de- voted to coffee, others to tropical fruits. such as bananas, and others to sugar and grain.
 All along the river we saw ships taking on coal The work Is done by steans the coal being lifted from the barges by clam-sheIl dredges so fast that 200 tons can be loaded in the space of an hour.
 At another wharf there were several steamers of the United Fruit company unloading bananas from Guatemala. Cos ta Rica and Panama. Each had brought some tens of thousands of bananas; and, las we passed, we could see the wide streams of green fruit climbing up the endless belts which carried them by na- chinery from the holds of the steamers off to the cars.
 Everything seemed to be the acme of economical management and of the latess cost efficiency methods, and the whole trip demonstrated one of the triunpna of modern municipal administration.

way through the city. are wharves, docks and warehouses constructed by the nut nicipality and operated for consumers at minimum cost. If you will look closely at the eNpanse of Buildings below you may see two iron bands which girdle the heart of New Orleans. Trains are fly Ing along them and they connect with the many systems of railroads that como down to this gateway of the ocean. That is the Public Belt railway, which was constructed by the citizens in order to reduce freghts and bring about the eco homie handling of goods. Before 1t was established every carload of freight that was delivered or transferred cost from SS to $22 Today any car from any road may be brought right to the warehouse or store of the consumer along the Il miles of this tracks at a cost of only s. Further on I will show you something of the enormous reductions which are made by the warehouses and by the big cotton and grain establishments right under our feet
 But first let us take look over New Orleans. It extends for miles back from the river, which here runs in a great crescent about the heart of the city. The buildings cover almost as much ground as Chicago They are spread out over a great flat plain; the lllOSl Ot bAACAtl y HIS bNtN S~ti NNiS AA' NA and Lake Pontchartain. The city Is gradually crawling toward the lake. The swamps are being redeemed and within short time there will be 17-mile boulevard running along the embankment of that magnificent body of water
 The city of New Orleans is more beautiful from an airplane than most other American municipalities. It has but few skyscrapers, and the maln thoroughfares. some of which are more than 200 feet wide. have broad strip of green in the center. through which the electric cars run. The residence section has many beautiful gardens filled with date palms and other trop- ical trees, and it is only in the old French quarter that the houses are crowded along narrow streets, with galleries running from block to block.
 The New Orleans of the future will probably have more large buildings. The foundations of the city have been changed by the municipal improve ments of sewerage and drainage. Only a few years ago, the ground upon which the city is built was soaked to the grass roots. The level of the town is below that of the surface of the Mississippi and the floods often come over and make the place somewhat

 The Atlantic fleet covers the Atlantic ocean, Mediterranean sea and tributary waters and 1t may be said that in this fleet Is centered the real naval strength of the country. The Pacific fleet covers the western coast of North and South America, Hawaii and Samoa, while the Asiatic fleet covers the western Pacific. the Philippines and the Indian ocear, Neither of these two, however, has first class fighting strength. Such detached ships as act in the Caribbean are con troled directly from Washington.
 The present Atlantic fleet consists of four divisions of first-line battleships, each division theoretically consisting of four vessels; though two have but three ships; cruiser force; a destroyer force: large force of submarines; a reserve battleship force; weak scout force: a mine force and other auxiliary vessels for repair work, fuel and supply bearing. Along the seaboard and operating in con Junction with the fleet is the coast de- fefse force of older vessels.
 The young man entering the navy is most interested in his chances for ad- vancement. Secretary of the Navy Dan iels, in his recent report, had this to say: "The American navy offers as fine an opportunity as exists to the American youth who wishes to win in the race of life. It offers a wide variety of indus

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR CROSS, S,S|CK
 FEVER|SH CHILD If little stomach is sour, liver torpid or bowels
 clogged

Mothers can rest easy after giving "California Syrup of Figs" because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste. sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a we'll playful child again. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets slug gish and stomach disordered.
 When cross. feverish. restless. see If tongue is coated, then give this deli cious fruit laxative" Children love 1t, and it cannot cause injury. No differ ence what ails your little one-if full of cold or a sore throat, diarrhoea, stomach ache, bad breath, remember, a gentle inside cleansing" should all ways be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies. children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" then look carefully and see that 1t is made by the "Caifornia Fig Syrup Com pany." We make no smaller size. Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.-Adv.

aoVantage from New Orleans than any other port. The rates of handling g sue cotton are far below any that nave pevailed in the past. The insur- aice percentage is about the same as tnat t or grain and is about one-twen- tetn or what the planters have been paying. As it is now, at the present nigh prices. the insurance rate is less thSh Is cents a bale, whereas in the past 1t was much in excess of $2.
 we shall suppose we have left the elevator and are making our way through this great state establishment. The cotton warehouse Is a structure or concrete and steel running around immense courts. where the cotton is dropped when it comes in from the country. The building has something like 70 acres under roof, and when completed. it will cover more than 100 acres As it is, 1t can handle about @'ooo,ooo bales per annum, and it will eventually be able to store about one third of all the cotton raised in our country When completed, it will cost more than s3,000,0oO, and it will be of enormous value to New Orleans and the whole middle south.
 We go to the warehouse in the au- tomobile of the dock board. Just now oH account Of the war, the cotton IS guarded, and the only visitors ad- mltted are those who come by special arrangement and that in the automo- piles that belong to the plant. On our way in we pass motor trucks loaded with bales of cotton. and we drive along the corridors which line the courts, moving by huge bales that have just come in from the country
 We first stop at the press room, where something like 6000 bales are standing on end. The press room oc- cupies more than an acre and it's floor is covered with cotton It is where the cotton is repressed before it is stored away in the warehouse. When it comes in from the country it has been pressed and made ready for shipment, but the presses are such that they squeeze only IA pounds into each foot. They may be pressed to less than half their original size. This is done in the high-density presses, which take 8 great bale of cotton in their jaws and squeeze 1t between their iron cheeks with a force equal to 4,000,00o pounds. This force is exerted on all sides. and when the bale comes out a cubic foot of 1t weighs just S4 pounds.
 After pressing, the cotton is ready to be stored in the warehouse, so that 1t can be taken out at the demand

Selling hy Chance

w. E. Augfnbaugh, in Leslie 8. For the American merchant desfrous of establishing a foreign trade three things are absolutely necessary, namely. a de-
 tailed knowledge of the customs and re-
 quirements of the people with whom one hopes to do business; complete in- forma ton concerning the geography, topography and climate of the countries wherein one wishes to trade and compre- hensive ideas as to general export bank ing methods.
 A few illustrations may serve to en- phasize how really ignorant some of our business men are. and let me state that the average European, Latin-American or Japanese schoolboy would not be guilty of the errors our grownups are daily making.
 An American bicycle manufacturing house in the middle west received an or der for 100 bicycles. s5 to be of the drop frame" or lady style and five to be diamond frame, of the type used by men. The order. written in English, was plain and explicit. But the export man. ager of the concern argued that women in China had small feet and could not
 ride bicycles at all. and what the Chi .nese firm really meant was an order for 95 diamond" frame machines and only five ''drop frame ones. And that ! is how the order was executed When the bicycles reached that inland town in the celestial country the consignee
 promptly refused them, for he could not give them away. Men in China wear skirts and must use 'drop-frame' ma- chimes, and the five diamond" frame bicycles were for the five foreigners In the city.
 One of the largest ice skate manufac- turing firms in this country is engaged in advertising it's products in the papers of the tropical countries of Latin Amer ica, where 1t is so hot that ice-making machines have difficulty in performing

 New Orleans La.
 NTAND with me on the roof of the
 N huge elevator which the state of " Louisiana is building at the end of the grain chute of the Mississippi valley, and take a look at New Orleans and what it is doing along the lines of industrial preparedness. Of all the cities of the United States, there is none more awake to the needs of today. There is none which has a broader view of the possi bllities of the future and none that has gone farther along the lines which shall develop it's industries and make it a safe port for handling the national business.
 tYou have read the story of the old New Orleans The mighty river below US was explored by fernando de Soto about 50 years after Columbus discov- cred America. It was 2S5 years ago that the Frenehman, LaSalle, came from Quebec down the Mississippi and claimed all the land washed by the Father of Waters" for King Louis KY of France. It was he who named this vast territory Louisiana, and thus gave us the title of the greater part of the west which we bought of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1893 for s15,OOO0OO.
 Many of you know that New Orleans was established as the capital of the French possessions just about 200 years ago. that the territory was once in the hands of Spain and that today large part of it's people are of French and Spanish descent. You have read Of the growth of New Orleans, how for gen. erations it has been the greatest city Of the far south, and how it is even now one of the richest and gayest towns of the hemisphere. You have probably looked upon it as frivolous and eXtraVa- sant. with spice of wickedness thrown in. but you have never considered 1t model for civic virtues equaling and sur passing your own town in its city spirit and municipal upbuilding and progress.
 Nevertheless, it is of that New Orleans that am writing today. This mighty ele- vator above which we are standing is being built by the state, in order that this port may handle grain so cheaply that 1t will flow here from the bread baskets of the Mississippi valley, as well as from the great states of the west Right under us Is the vast concrete ware house built by Louisiana for the cheap handling of cotton, and looking up and down the great river, which, like a mighty yellow boa constructor, winds US
