nevertheless is the largest, most pros
porous and most important of them
all. Its railroads. metropolitan cities
and agricultural developments make 1t
one Of the chief islands Of the Antilles.
If Great Britain's price for all these
islands We're to be fixed at the rate
per acre paid for the Danish West
Indies 1t would amount to about
S2,50O000,000.
Undoubtedly the Islands belong geo.
graphically to the American continent
For the past several decades the Brit
ish possessions have belonged TO the
United States economically, for the
bulk or their trade has been with
America and only small part of it
with the mother country. Linguistical
| ly there is no choice. Sympathetlcal
4 ~. assuming that the wishes of the
inhabitants are to be taken into con
sideration, there is little doubt that
the islanders would vote to join them
selves to the United States. The ex-
ample of Porto Rico before their eyes,
where a poor people prospered with
American aid, is too striking to pass
| unobserved. Moreover they realize
that they are no longer the favorites
of England The Indies under British
rule are not particularly prosperous,
/ Probably the production OF the is
lands could be greatly stimulated I'M
der American control, eud with an in
creased marker. Sugar. cocoa and BIZ
lnanas are things that everybody wants.
Strategically the position Of the
British West Indies is important from
our viewpoint. The purchase of the
islands might be an extension of the
Monroe doctrine-by which Uncle Sam
sets great store.
And what a job 1t would be to
straighten out the various complica
tions of these many islands! There Is
now joint resolution before congress
appointing commission TO report on
conditions in the Virgin islands. In
the documents 1t is related that there
is urgent need for action. Danish Gus
toms. Danish laws, Danish methods of
/ judicial procedure. are still in vogue
/ in the islands. There is great need
Ito Americanize them. The land ques-
/ ton needs serious attention. The ma
/ tives own but per cent OF the land
of the islands. The rest is owned by
Danes or by those to whom the Ger
mans have transferred title. The own
ers of the land will not lease it or sell
It. This is resulting in condition
where the inhabitants OF these islands
have no part in the sale Of the land
md no chance to make living out of
agriculture. The great necessity is
some land law that viii enable the
people to acquire land. The Ameri-
cans. since their occupation. have done
considerable work along lines of sahi-
tation,
The people of the Islands feel that
they have been neglected by the Unit
cd States: that when the American
fag went up in the Virgin islands Il
should have been followed by Amer
lean laws, customs. and ideals as soon
as possible.
Congress is without sufficient infor-
nation to act in these matters, and
there would be great benefit, in the
opinion of the committee, in having q
small commission visit the islands.

Why Golf Links.

The term links In connection with
golf is of Scottish origin. 1t originally
was used to designate stretch of land
covered with short grass and stubble
which lies between the high point of
the coast and the water in parts of the
Scottish seaboard. The first golf cours-
IS were laid out along these stretches.

rs this. which may be asked:
Does the United States want the
British West Indies?
Is Great Britain willing to sell them
30 the United States?
Can the two nations agree on a
price?
Answers to these questions will have
10 be guesswork largely. II was first
sHmored in diplomatic circles In Wash
ngton In 1917 that the transfer was
being considered. Nothing official,
however. has ever been made public
Secretary of State Lansing says he
knows nothing about 1t.
Giving color to the possibility of the
transfer are two facts: One IS that
the United States is apparently in the
market for West Indian Islands, as
shown by the purchase in 1917 of the
Virgin Islands from Denmark for $685.
100000. In this connection 1t is TO be
kept in mind that the Panama. canal
Is located in this part of the world,
which fact may have something to do
with Uncle Sans apparent desire TO
invest in islands off its Atlantic APP
proach. The other fact is that Great
Britain owes the United States about
four billions, hus a national debt now
In excess of $4,000 100000 and is APP
parently finding her West Indian is
lands more of liability than an asset.
The British West Indies comprise
the greater number of the string OF
pearl-like islands that is flung like a
necklace from Florida to South Amer
leu, around that corner Of the ocean
known as the Caribbean. All told,
there are some four Thousand of these
bits of land, though not many more
than a hundred are populated. and
most of the islands are only great reefs
thrown up from a volcanic sea in some
by-gone day.
The British West Indies have a total
area of 1900 square miles-equa to
the states of Massachusetts and Con-
Necticut They have a population of
nearly 100000, for the most part ne
groes. but with scattering of few
thousand whites and curious mixture
OF other peoples from all the world
Hindus. Jayanese. Chinese, Siamese,
Christians. Mahometans, Buddhists
I'D Confucianists. Some of the islands
are sparsely settled, while others are
more densely populated than any other
region on earth except China.

WHAT FOOD DOES
THE BODY NEED?

Answering that question and pro-
vidins the food is the daily duty of
every housewife. If it is properly an
swered, the family is well nourished
and is likely to be healthy. If it is
not properly answered. every member
of the family suffers, is that much
less fit.
The government appreciated the i'm
portance and the difficulties of this
task of the housewife when it pre-
pared a book on HOW TO SELECT
FOODS.

meat how much fruit. the man of the
