Live on IL Cents

Philadelphia, Dec. 3.-Cost of

the high cost of living.
Every man can live we'll on eleven
cents a day.

Vey w. Wiley, former chief chemist

declares.
Eating is an industry in which
there are fewer skilled laborers than
in any other" he told the guests
after all had shown considerable
skill at eating a sumptuous menu.
I'VE all draw a day laborer's nav.
which is a short life. II we were

longer. =
IF we were really skilled in eat

years to a child's life If il were

Referring to a statement he made
some time ago that a person could
live well on thirteen cents n day.
he said he had made a mistake"
ANY man can live well on eleven
cents "A day." he said. "A pound of
corn meal "a day, at the rate of $3.50
a bushel, would amount to three
cents, and added to this eight cents
worth of milk to give sufficient
nourishment."

Mercator's projection but by new
butterfly" map devised by b. j. S.
Cahill, of Oakland, Cal, which has
just been adopted by Major Charles
j. Glidden, executive secretary of
the Aerial Derby Commission. now
on his way to the Far East and who
gave the map his approval before
leaving here.
Mr.. Cahill, who is the originator
of San Francisco's S12 100000 civic
center" plan, said that an aviator
using the Mercator projection as a
guide, would go 1,00O miles out of
his way in a trip from Panama to
Yokohama. "lf the North Pole
were on an island a mile wide." he
said, ''it would appear on Merca-
tors projection to be $4,000 miles
wide, or nearly the total circumfer7
ence of the earth at the equator"
Is Years to Complete
The inventor of the new map, who
worked on his drawings ffteen
years, said that IAN impartial and
rational world geography is essential
to world peace" He said that
Mercator's projection, which was
originally devised by the Belgian
photographer as guide for navi-
gators, distorted and exaggerated
the earth as it receded from the
equator" This, for instance, made
it appear as if South America were
much smaller than North America
when. as a matter of fact, he said,
they were about the same area.
The Cahill map is as though an
actual sphere had been cut and fiat
tened. it's appearance somewhat re-
sembling the outspread wings OF a
butterfly.
A nation looking unduly expanded
on the map may easily, Mr.. Cahiil
says, develop n sort of geographl-
cay "big headedness," inducing an
overbearing diplomacy. A nation
whose territory is so unduly exager-
ated on the maps in common use
may we'll come to exaggerate its re-
sources, it's economic strength and
even its virtues and so create an
atmosphere anything but conducive
to mutual good will and consequent
world peace.
Big Help to Airmcn.
All problems of intercommunica-
tion by sea, land or air are battling
and misleading on Mercator's chart,
says Mr.. Cahill, but simple and OBJ
vious on the butterfly" map.

and understanding.
"Internationalism, now a sporadic
and occasional thing. but destined
in the future to be the keynote of
all human endeavor, plays an i'm
portant part in the science of sta
tistics asd meteorology," said Mr..
Cahill. Graphical statistics are
self contradictory and ludicrous on
Mercator's chart and as for indi'
eating the progress of high and low
pressure rings in weather charts, the
ever changing scale on Mercator's
was simply bewildering to the fore
caster who had to use them. The
new map, by showing all lands in
their true proportion and form, he
declares, would help materially in
solving peacefully problems dealing
with the world as a whole.

British Physicians
Want Bigger Fees

London, Dec. 3.-British physi-
clans have long been complaining
that, as nearly everything had ad-
vanced in price owing to the war.
there should be a proportionate ad-
vance in their fees. The justice of
this contention has been officially
recognized by the Minister of
Health. Being of opinion, he states,
that the present minimum fees of 60
cents and S4 cents for primary vac
cinations at private houses are mad
equate he has issued an order, which
comes into force in December to in
crease the minimum fee to SIPS.

This change has come about al
most overnight. Finland's mnn
power has been greatly depleted,
and a large part of what is left is
required for military service.
The Finnish business woman is
remarkably keen and intelligent.
She has kind of masculine inter-
est and absorption in her work that
seems to admit of no margin for
sentiment or frfvolity. She dresses
simply and smartly, as do the ma
jority of the city-bred women of
this country. An American walking
