You ought to see the American bust
ness representative in China. 1t would
do your heart good. They are the
younger set, clean cut, strong, alert,
efficient. The first thing they do when
they land in the heart Of China is to
run up the Stars and Stripes, and then
they go out and find a buyer for their
goods.
But the flag first, with them. The
United States must get behind these
missionaries Of it's commercial life, as
It gets behind it's religious missionaries.

Panama Canal Capacity.

A careful study Of traffic through the
Panama canal shows that the maxi
mum capacity Of the canal locks, con-
servatively estimated, is sixty average
size steamships a day-the expected
capacity was about forty eight ships.
Frequently, however, one Of the twin
flights at each set Of locks must be
closed to traffic for the overhauling of
the submerged equipment, especially
the large valves and gates, as deteriO-
rating forces are constantly at work
and protective measures must be taken
to preserve the life Of these parts. At
such times the canal will have n maxi
mum capacity of about forty ships a
day.-R. III. Whitehead in Scientific
American.

KEEPER OF THE GREAT SEAL
Lord Chancellor Regarded, in Way,
as One of Most Important Men,
bers of British Cabinet.

The lord chancellor is one of the
most important men in the British cab
met. in a way, for it is through him
that the king signifies his consent to
anything signed in his name. The lord
chancellor is, technically, the keeper
Of the kings conscience. One of the
most elaborate and dignified looking
purses in the world belongs to the
chancellor. 1t is the purse in which is
kept the famous "great SEAL" Made
of the very finest purple velvet, it is
heavily embroidered in colored silks
with the arms of England, the lion
and the unicorn surmounted by the
imperial crown. Below is worked in
silk Latin motto meaning, "For God
and My Country" The purse used to
be made Of scarlet velvet, which was
changed to purple toward the end of
the nineteenth century. Formerly a
new one was provided every year, the
old one being a perquisite of the cham
cellor. Many Of these deliberately
worked purses are heirlooms in the
families Of former chancellors The
purse containing the seal is borne in
state before his lordship as he walks
toward his seat, the woolsack, in the
house Of lords.

RED HEADS STRANGE PEOPLE
Last of the BaaI Worshipers Engage In
Two Occupations, Agriculture
and Theft.

The other day there was the report
that some of our soldiers on the Tigris
had come across a village of Red
Heads, writes ]. G. Bristow Noble in
the London Globe. Strange people are
these Baal worshippers. The men
wear red caps hence their name Red
Heads. They also wear red knotted
cords around their necks. The cord
is put on during babyhood and is never
removed. 1t is inferred with the body
after death. They shave their heads
except for a patch on the top, and
here they allow the hair to grow long
and plait it into pigtails, which hang
about their ears. They are tall, wiry
fellows, with enormous appetites for
both food and drink.
The women, who do not veil them
selves, and who dress simply in loose
fitting garments, are thin and spare,
but wonderfully strong. In their homes
they wear breecheS as well as skirts.
There is no wife beating among the
Red Heads, but plenty of husband
beating. The husbands take their fire.
quent chastisements meekly and pa
tiently. They employ themselves, both
the women and the men, in agriculture
and theft. They produce couple of |
crops-tobacco and durra the rest Of |
their time is given up to looting the
Turks crops and cattle. Their little
whitewashed, low-roofed dwellings
with small unglazed, but shattered,
windows are divided into three apart
ments; a kitchen, a guest room, a
sleeping room. A few earthenware
jars, about five feet in height and filled
with grain and dried fruits, are kept
in the guest room, and the guests help
themselves.

CAMP LEWIS, Wash-The Y. M. C

Lewis Immediately, it became known
here today. Either new buildings will
be erected or the five structures al
ready in use will be enlarged. The
present buildings are not large enough

then rejected because of slight physi-
cal disability, Ernest C. Miller, or Vir-

LABOR IS THE REAL BASIS

Golfers has little editorial that is worthy Of SER
ous consideration by all good citizens in these days of
industrial upheavel and unrest. 1t says:
mo discussion of the prices of commodities is COM
plete unless it its basis consideration of the
labor supply This country for than generation
has depended on natural increment of labor from
Europe. During the years since 1900 this increment
rose to about million year. 1t probably more
than Is per cent addition labor supply from
the beginning of the present in the middle OF 1914
this supply Off We did not notice at once be-
sudden paralysis of industrial activity in the United
States But with the industrial activity speeded up
it been recent months the failure of this labor
supply has been acutely felt And more recently, Of
course, we have suffered another dimnution in the
quantity of human beings available for work, namely,
in the drawing off of hundreds of thousands of
the army Under such circumstances it is hard to
prevent the competition among industries for the dim
nishing supply of labor and to keep down
the prices of commodities in which labor is element

Two Legs of Progress
I'VE begin now to see man in the
light of the law of variation. We have
come to known that the individual is a
combination of characteristics handed
on by heredity, to understand that life
is a constant struggle to meet the
changing characteristics of existence,
to realize that the slow movement up
ward is the picture of life upon the
planet
Invention and imitation are the two
legs upon which mentality walks for
ward and this very fact makes it pos
sible for individuals to attain lead
ership"
