Size Of Greater New York Is
So Huge It Can Only Be
Expressed in SuperIativeS

In 1917 exports passing out of New
York harbor had a greater volume
than the combined exports of Asia,
Africa md Australia. The imports
coming through its customs lines ex-
ceeded in value those of the continents
of South America. Africa and Aus
tralia together.
For such operations as these, writes
William Joseph ShOwalter in Ma
tional Geographic Magazine, New
York, perforce. must be a great me-
tropolis. In population 1t Outranks
any one Of half the nations Of the
earth, surpasses that of the entire con-
tinent Of Australia and matches the
combined strength Of the six Western
mes. states Of the American union.
In annual expenditures 1t exceeds all
except seven of the flfty-odd nations
ON the map. Its water system could
supply the whole earth with drinking
water, and its storage reservoirs hold
enough to slake civilizations thirst
for moro than q year. Its electric
transportation lines carry nearly twice
as many passengers in IL months as
all the steam railroads Of the United
States. They could give every man.
woman and child living n ride every
ten months-sO much for the yard
stick comparison.
1t seems unbelievable. but II every
resident whose parents were born in
America were to leave New York Its
standing as the second most pOpulous
center in the world would not be af-
fected. In other words, the number of
immigrants and their children resident
In New York is almost equal to the
combined populations Of Paris and
Philadelphia and greater than the
combined populations of Chicago and
Berlin.
Three people out Of every four in
the great metropolis were born under
alien flags or are the children Of the
foreign born. But who that has
studied the situation can gainsay New

Significance Of Adage
Crossing the Rubicon." "

Rubicon was the name Of small
river which formed part Of the boun-
Diary line Of ancient Italy, and on one
occasion Julius Caesar precipitated
war by leading his troops across the
river. From this the phrase passing
or crossing the Rublcon became a fig
ure Of speech to designate any decis-
i've or important step that was beyond
retall. John Adams, an American pa
triot Of the Revolutionary period, de-
clared in a letter written about the be-
ginning Of the war: 1.-THE die is now
cast have passed the Rubicon. Sink
or swim, live or die. survive or perish
with my country. is my unalterable de-
termination" The letter was written
just after the battle Of Bunker Hill.

We Are Living in Changed
And Fast Changing World.

To us all there has come Of late the
unacceptable fact that we are living In
u changed and fast changing world,
says the Christian Herald. Under the
stress and strain of world upheaval
our physical. domestic, economic and
social life is undergoing daily the
process Of change. We are adjusting
ourselves to new environment; are
living under new legal restrictions
and abiding by new social customs
and obligations. Through 1t all there
are going on within US equally great
changes In our attitudes to life and its
problems and tasks. We have been
forced out Of our provinciality and
prcvincinlism into world outlook an
International spirit is rising; our in
terests have taken on worldwide as
pect and our concerns embrace the po-
litical and economic welfare Of all hu-

Plant Called 4'Quinoa' May
Prove Substitute for Wheat.

There has long been cultivated on
the west coast of South America q
plant called "quinoa." which botanists
and cereal experts believe may prove
an excellent substitute for wheat, in
fect preferable to the substitutes now
In use, says Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine. This plant, now attracting par
tiv,ilar attention because of the short
nge of fOOdstuffs, has been cultivated
In South America, in more or less
primitive fashion, since pre-lnca days.
The department Of agriculture has i'm
ported several lots of quinoa seed and
seed Of related species and Is making
experiments with it In the hope of
finding a suitable soil and climate in
this country for Its cultivation.

Time Required to Cook the
Beans Depends on Length Of
Time Beans Have Been Kept.

In cooking dry beans. the time re-
Quired either In the oven or the cook
ing box will vary with the length of
time the beans have been kept; the
older the beans the more cooking re-
quired, according to the United States
department of agriculture. Soak one
quart Of beans over night: in the
morning drain them and cover with
cold water and heat to boiling. Let
boil until the skins will burst when
touched very lightly. adding one-Quar-
ter teasp0onful of soda a few minutes
before taking from the fire. Drain
through a cOlander. Return to the
kettle and add one teaspoonful of salt,
one teaspoOnful of mustard, three ta-
blespOOnfuls Of molasses and one-half
pound OF salt pork. washed and
scrcped. and cover with boiling water.
Let boil 20 or 80 minutes, then place
in the cooking box. II the beans are

they may be cooked with vegetable oil,

TIPS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER

Do not kill the laying hen.
Separate the good layers from the
poor ones and send the poor layers
to market.
Progress in all breeding is based on
selection.
Apply selection to your poultry.
Keep the best and breed from them
and watch the improvements.
Keep the hustlers-thOse that are
on the range early and 60 to roost
with full crops.
The good layer Is active. She is a
hustler for worms and bugA She has
. bright red comb and bright eye.
The plumage Of the good layer is
usually much more broken up than
the plumage of the poor layer.
The high-egg-yield hens are usually
late to moult. They may also have
pale or faded shanks and beaks.
The pelvic bones. or lay-bones. Of
the laying hen are far enough apart
SO that three fingers can be placed be-
tween them. These two bones can be
felt. one or each side Of the vent.
somewhere above the vent.
The good layer has thin. pliable pei
VIC bonesL
There should not be less than three
or four fingers distance from the pei
vic bones to the point of breast bone.
There should also be good distance
from the ribs on one side around to
the ribs on the other side. In other
words, the abdomen should be large
and roomy, indicating that the hen has
4 large capacity for the assimilation
of food and for the production Of eggs.
The skin Of the abdomen should be
loose enough to suggest an udder that
has been MIXED out.
The Inferior laying hen Of the meat
type has thick. beefy pelvic bones.
with hard Jumps at the ends. Such
hens are not heavy layers. Sell them.
They usually weigh heavy.
Sell hens that have arched, hard
lay-bones. especially II the distance
between the lay-bones and breast bone
ie not great.
Sell any hen that seems to lack VI
tality.
Market any hen that has a decided
Iy crooked breast bone, scaley legs,
long toe nails. or Ii ''broken down.
behind.
Hens Of the light breeds may be
profitably kept for three seasons
those Of the heavy breeds. for two
seasons.
Do not sell early hatched pullets as
broilers. Keep them and they will be
ynur viutor Iavorr Thov will also
prove vastly superior as breeding birds
to those later Matched pullets that are
not mature enough to lay until spring.

Early Use of Coal.

Though wood and turf formed the
fuel of our early ancestors. inyestiga-
tions have proved that the Britons,
even prior to the Roman occupation
made use of coal. But as 1t was pos
sible to utilize only such coal us lay at
or near the surface. the practice did
not make headway for many centuries.
