nue, etc., now before it, but over shadowed by the greater international
 problem, remains to be seen. This session expires March 4th, and it is hoped the country will be spared an
 extra session. Manufacturers and distributors alike, are perplexed by many grave problems. From the eco- homie point of view, the high cost and scarcity of raw materials is be- coming an increasingly serious mat ter. The same is true as to labor. Meanwhile, profits in many cases are already seriously threatened by in ability to check growing expenses and an increasing unwillingness of con- surners to pay current high prices, which are already beginning to visibly check consumption. (.
 The money market is we'll supplied
 with loanable funds and rates are easy. A government loan to the eX- tent of $500,000,000 or more is talk ed about in case of war, but these figures, which are not official, create no uneasiness among bankers, who are confident that any necessary loan would be easily and promptly taken. Our banks are in an exceedingly strong position. as evidenced by the
 
 all parts of. the country. The Feder al Reserve system is working admir- ably and has strengthened immensely our banking resources. Recent liIui- dation has added to the supply of loan able funds, excepting, of course, the shipment of gold to South America and elsewhere. Even if we escape war and issue no domestic loan what ever, Europe must continue a heavy borrower in this market for a long time to come, simply because this is the most available banking reservoir in the world. Such demands will make themselves felt more conspicu ously when peace arrives as unques- tionably the industrial facilities of this country will be freely called up- on to aid in Europe'S reconstruction. As an illustration of how rapidly New York is growing as a financial center, bank clearings recently touched the high record of $1,218, 100000. This total was swelled> by operations con nected with the $250,0O0,000 British loan, but on three other occasions | bank clearings at New York passed l the billion dollar mark.

geria now brings more of the Kaby- les, who are more and more counted upon to solve the question of labor. They are taller than the average AL gerian, with ' features resembling somewhat those of the peasants of Central France. They are not uni- form in complexion, some being dark and some light, with fair hair. Their language is the Berber, although they use the Arabian letters. The possi- bilities of the experiment may be judeged from the fact that Kabglie is the most populous part of North Africa, having 158 inhabitants per square mile

ARABS WORkIN PARIS STREETS
 AND0N FARMS
Thousands From Algeria Fighting for France and Taking Up Labor of
 Peasants.

Paris, Feb 10-Sixty tall Kabyles, mountaineers from Eastern Algeria. descendants from the hardy and re- doubtable race of Berbers, have lent useful hand to >the solution of the Paris street cleaning problem.
 Garbage boxes that are now set out of doors in some quarters as early as 10 o'clock in the evening, to the dam age of a great many shins in dimly lighted streets, are encountered in other quarters as late as o'clock in the afternoon, all on account of the lack of help. Paris thus has been enjoying 17 hours of continuous con- temptation of city refuse that is stirred, shaken and overturned in the meantime for rags, paper and bones. The Kabyles have done so well toward remedying this situation that 300 more of them will be utilized in the work.
 There are now 10000 of our peo- pie working in France for the na- tional defense," says Si Salah Ahmed, Caid or governor of the Douar Naat- kas of Tizi-Cozou in tabylie. Neither the climate nor the conflict daunts them" he added Si Salah was sent by the 5000 inhabitants of his Douar to tell the French government it may count upon them for anything it wants.
 The experiment of Algerian help in the field and factory in France has been a great success. These men, particularly those from the mountain regions, have wonderful endurance, are very industrious and easily con- tented. They are working alongside other MuSsulmen from Morocco and Tunis, while a great many others are in the ranks of the Algerian rifiemen at the front. They have proven a great deal more effective than the Senegalese in this climate; they have shown quite taste. for farming, have learned quickly the use of machine tools in factories, and their appren- ticeship in municipal work has per- haps been the greatest success of all.
 The Annamites from the French colony of Indo-China. also unskilled, have been quick to learn and are probably more fastidious in their work than the Kabyles; as gleaners in the harvest field last summer, they were said to have never overlooked a spear.
 The Moors are better fighters than they are farmers, yet they are taking to agriculture and French observers who are watching the experiment look to the result of a most beneficial influence upon the future agricultural development of Morocco.
 The question was raised in the Chamber of Deputies recently as to what complications might develop from the presence of so many Colo niaI Iaborers in France at the end of the war. The general sentiment was that no apprehension need be enter tained on this score. and that it was even less menacing than the formida- ble extension of the use of women in mechanical labor. The Kabyles, Indo- Chinese and Moors, it is said, will, after they have laid up a little money, be glad enough to go back home where their savings will enable them to play the "nabob."

THE DITCH DIGGER.

In spite of all that can be said Dor, many people have always re- garded those who dig ditches and per- form other unskilled labor, with some contempt. Of recent years this work has been largely done by non-Eng- fish speaking aliens. It was not so many years ago that this type of la Dor could be commonly had for about
 $1.50 day.
 Recent years have placed the ditch digger in more independent posi- tion. His wages in many places have doubled. The war has made raw la bor scarce The man with energy and muscle enough to handle pick and shovel is not so common as he was. Our native Americans do not like manual labor, though they may be earning less money somewhere at clean handed jobs.
 The new literacy test law promises to make the ditch digger even scare er Of course the man who has energy enough to leave friends and earn passage money may have the grit to fit himself to pass our new requirements. But the new standard must have some tendency to reduce the supply of raw labor.
 Wherefore it behoOves us to feel a little mo1o respect for the ditch digger. He performs a useful and toilsome task which the rest of us are unable or not willing to under take. He is in a position to get a higher price for this disagreeable service, and he will make farm, high way and construction work cost more.
 It seems incongruous to many peo- pie that clergymen and teachers, who have spent good money going through the schools. must often earn less than the unskilled laborer who never took the least pains to educate himself. Possibly machinery. may yet, be de- vised to fill the gap caused by scare ity of unskilled labor. Machines are digging trenches in France, why not machines also to dig our sewers? But until this substitution can be made we must all pay the penalty of the general inability or unwillingness to work with our hands and delve in the dirt.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

There was real race for honors in the fourteenth week of the laying
 contest at Storrs. A pen of Rhode
 Island Reds entered by George w.. Harris, Westport, Conn.,, managed to get first place by a margin of one egg, laying a total of 49 eggs for the week. Obed G. Knights White Wyandottes from Bridgeton, R. l., and A. P. Rob- inson's White Legh0rns from Calver- ton, N. Y., tied for second place with
 AS eggs each. Merritt M. Clarks Barred Rocks from Brookf1eld Center Conn.,, Merrythought Farms White Wyandotte's from Columbia, Conn.,, A. w. Rumery's Reds from Danville, N. H., and Jacob B. Jansen's Reds from North Haven, Conn.,, all tied for third
 place with 43 eggs each. The total yield for all pens was 2,634, a gain of 132 eggs over last weeks yield but nearly 33 less than the corresponding week year ago.
 A bulletin shortly to be issued by the Storrs Experiment Station will have the following to say concerning the growth of laying competitions: Since their inception five years ago, laying contests have been conducted by endowed schools, agricultural high schools, poultry associations, boys and girls poultry clubs, newspapers, ex- positions, and other organizations. For the purpose of comparison, however there have been considered only those
 contests conducted at ior by the sev-
 eral agricultural colleges or experi-
 ment stations. Five years ago there were two such contests, one at Noun tain Grove, Mo-, the other at Storrs. In these two contests, there were en- tered 1,140 birds representing 31 states and the District of Columbia and including one pen from England and six from the Canadian provinces At the present time there are seven such contests located at Pullman
 Wash, Mountain Grove, Mo-, Fayette- vile, Ark, Lexington, Ky, Newark, Del, Vineland, N. J., and Storrs. In
 these seven there are entered over 4,OO0 birds of. 40 different varieties, representing 35 states in the Union, and including IA pens from England and twenty-fOur pens from the provin-
 ces of Ontario and British Columbia. The three best pens in each of the
 principal varieties are as follows: Barred Plymouth Rocks. Jules F. Francis, w. Hampton
