WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SOUTH
AMERICA.

Bring on the superlatives; We write IF
South America, the continent where are
the worlds greatest mountain ranges,
densest forests and largest rivers,
Just for instance. the Amazon river
system has over $4,000 miles of navgabie
water way. enough to tie two loops around
our planet. 1t can he navigated for $500
miles by ocean steamers-a greater dis
lance than from New York to Panama.
The Rio de la Plata is 100 miles wide
at it's mouth.
And Notwithstanding all Colonel Roose-
velt's discoveries, South America still has
the largest UNEMPLOYED area of any con-
tinent.
Almost everybody knows that Brazil is
larger than Europe or the continental
United States, but the size of the little"
republics Is not so well known. Texas
could be lost twice in little" Venezuela
and stll leave room for Kentucky and
Tennessee!
Peru could comfortably swallow Cali
forna, Oregon Washington, Nevada, Ari-
iona, Utah and Idaho.
And 1t Is over 1900 miles from one end Of
Chile to the other-almost as far as from
New York to Glasgow,-World Outlook for

CHEMISTS MEET.
Hear Prof. Paul Gregory Baxter Of
Harvard at University.

The members of the Vermont section
of the American Chemical society and
others Friday night heard some of the lat
est results of investigations of atomic
weights made at the Harvard laboratory
The speaker was Prof. Paul Gregory Bax-
ter. 1t was nearly $3.50 before President
S. Francis Howard of Norwich University
called the meeting to order and intro
duced the speaker. The delay was due
to the hardness of the GAO train, on
which were some of the members from
Middlebury.
Professor Baxter expressed his pleasure
at seeing the city and the university.
with which friend Ct his, Professor
Torrey, had been connected.
The set topic of the lecture was
Changes of Volume During Solution"
but Professor Bakers paper dealt mostly
with salts. Experiment shows, he said,
that salts in solution contract to a smaller
volume than the total of the substance
and water. although there are exceptions.
In some instances the volume Of the So
luton was even less than that of the
water alone. Sodium hydroxide, for ex-
ample. Chlorides showed a greater de-
gree of contraction than bromides and
iodides in solution yielded a volume
smaller than any other
BY means of curves the speaker illus
trated the degree of contraction and ex-
pansion. Lithum iodide at the start ex-
pands to a greater volume but ultimately
yields a smaller one. At different tenn
peratures the curve displays a contrac-
ton. then an expansion of volume as more
heat is supplied.
Professor Baxter mentioned the chief
hypothesis to account for the changes
First, that the salt alone was respon
sible; second. the water alone: third. both
The first explanation did not explain the
behavior of sodium hydroxde. The best
explanation seemed to be No. 3. Prof
r. w. Richards. he said. explained the
changes as due to, first. the fact that the
particles of matter were relatively large
in proportion to the interstices; second
that atoms are compressible under chem
zeal affinity: third. under cohesion: fourth
under outside forces.
Professor Baxter applied the various
hypothesis to several substances. Tho
only safe conclusion. he said. was thai
the whole subject was too complex to per
NIT of a general statement as yet as tc
causes.

Democratic Indians
Bar Chiefs From
Council Chambers

BEMIDJI, Mimi, July 12.-After re-
fusing chiefs of the tribe representa-
ton in their council on the ground
that modern Indians are democrats
and not monarchists, Minnesota Chip
pewa Indians in council here today
gave the suffrage to women
The fight revolved about Cora Cot
fey, stenographer % years DID, en-
ployed by the United States govern
ment at the Fond du Lac reservation,
who Is the solitary woman delegate.
Older Indians objected to her being
seated on the ground that the innova-
ton was dangerous. Equal rights"
however, were championed by the
younger element, who are in control.
One of the interesting characters at
the convention is Captain John Smith,
of Cass Lake, who is said to be 1923
years old.

Only 100 Men Enroll

CAMBRIDGE. England, July H.
Cambridge is recovering its old pre-
war activity. but in an entirely differ
ent way. Where the streets formerly
were filled with devil-may- stu
dents they are now full of khaki clad
men. hurrying to and fro on military
errands. Sharp words of command at
every gateway replace the vague mys-
ferrous noises by which the students
conveyd information to their friends
While the army, in the early days
of the war virtually emptied the uni
versity town, it has now, three years
after, filled it with men of all ages
who are making the colleges their
own for some months, studying for
the army, working in lecture rooms on
military problems while the playing
fields are given over to their drills.
Men students are scarce these days
and the final batch of applicants for
entrance shows a record of only one
hundred as having passed the exami-
nations, virtually all of whom are I'M

Swollen Population
of American Cities
Due to War Trade

WASHINGTON, July 12-War in
dustries, which have drawn large tenn
porary populations of workers to some
sections, were today considered re-
sponsible for swollen population esti-
mates accredited to many American
cities by the war department in its
work of basing appointments for
drafting the new national army.
For the purpose OF the apportion-
ment only new population figures
have been devised for each state,
county and city. based on war regis
tration in these subdivisions and the
allotment will be approximately two
thirds of one per cent of the revised
population.
Delay of many district exemption
boards in organizing and assigning
serial numbers to the registrants,
caused war department officials today
to almost abandon hope of making
the first drawing this week. Duplt-
cate lists of all registrants and their
numbers must be in possession Of the
department before the drawing is
made.

farmers to keep hog lots clean and
well disinfected and Immediately re-
move all carcasses. With County
Agent Swift, DR.. Beechy inspected

era was suspected. s. Lewis Barnett,

ions in the officers reserve camp
The men were told of the gratitude
and pride felt by the people of their
state for their offering their services
to the country and the civilized world
in the interest OF democracy
Will Destroy Power.
From the facts possessed" said
Governor Cox, II form the positive be-
lief that American aviators will break
into the skyline Of Germany like birds
in migration-not for the purpose of
killing women, and children, nor of
wreaking human slaughter In any
form, but the American birdmen will
reach Essen and Kiel and destroy not
only the navy of Germany but every
institution which continues the men,
ace of Prussian imperialism.
1--WE are not fighting the German
people, but are seeking to strike down
the products of dangerous Prussian
leadership.
That the impossibility of it's recur-
renee will be the only thing which will
make the war worth while and that
this is ample compensation for any
sacrifices which may be made in order
to give our children and our children's
children a guarantee Of peace" was
the statement Of the Ohio governor.
Americas entry into the war. was
not made on the impulse of the mo-
ment, according to Governor Cox, who
continued: 1T is this spirit of an en-
lightened nternationalism-it is the
cry Of relief from nations bowed by the
burdens Of the ages that have stirred
the heart Of American and sends us
forth to help in giving unto others
what has been given unto us. 1t isn't
the impulse of the moment which has
carried us into the war"
In concluding Governor Cox said:
eve hope the fortunes of war will be
kind to you and ] repeat not only the
wish but the conviction that the
slaughter of trench warfare is about to
end and that peace will come upon
this earth through the men of the
air. 1t will then be your duty to hold
the fort until the product of American
genius and industry is ready tot
strike"
