Everyday History

THE FIRST SUEZ CANAL

The pride of modern men in their
works of engineering is somewhat
abashed when reflecting upon the ex-
tent of the public works of ancient
peoples. Three thousand years be-
fore Christ the Egyptians had sug-
gested building canal across the
Isthmus of Suez, and before 200 B.
C. the canal was a reality. The
course of the original canal was from
the mouth of the Nile to the Red Sea,
a somewhat longer course than the
one now followed. Neco. monarch
of 500 B. c., attempted to restore
this waterway after centuries of dis
use but failed after heroic attempts.
It was about this time that an
Egyptian ship sailed around Africa.
journey which took three years.
Because the soldiers insisted that the
sun rose on different sides of the
ship during it's voyage down and its
course back home, the story of the
voyage was discredited by the scien-
lists of those days.
Napoleon was the first modern
monarch to seriously consider build
ing Suez Canal, but it was not until
the middle of the 10th century that
the waterway was built, this time by
Ferdinand de Lesseps at cost Of
about $1OO,O00,000.

Cause of Much
Shoplifting

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE high cost
of living is driving many women to
shoplifting, according to department
store officials, corroborated by munic-
ipal court records.
"Shoplifting is on the increase all
over the country" the head of the
protective department in one of Bos-
toms largest stores said in discussing
the problem.
"The displays are tempting, the
pocketbooks are too lean for the eX-
tremely high prices; the result is at
tempt at shoplifting."
Women by the dozens have been
hailed into the municipal court in the
last few months charged with shop
lifting all the way from cheap jewelry
to expensive furs. To curb the in
creased tendency toward shoplifting
judges are imposing severe penalties.
"a good part of shoplifting is done
by the woman along toward middle
age who likes to get something for
nothing" says one of Boston's de-
tectives, expert in apprehending the
shoplifter.
"The young, beautiful girl who
loves fnery and wants to adorn her.
self but can't afford it is, contrary
to expectation, the least offender.
Once in while she is tempted to
steal, but she usually reforms"
Men are shoplifting quite bit, too,
but valuable furs and furcoats are
their speciality, while the women are
aiming at expensive silk stockings,
swell wells and, above all, shirtwaists.

MOTOR TRUCK LINES FOR
RURAL COMMUNITIES
Rural Motor Express!

Rural Motor Express!
What is it? What does it mean?
Where did the idea come from?
Hundreds of suburban, rural and
inter-city motor truck lines are in
successful operation today, but thou
sands are required. Every kind of
produce raised on farms, all sorts Of
goods bought by farmers, and vari-
Gus products of factories are handled
quickly and efficiently by motor truck
lines running through rural commu-
mites. Without such direct trans
portation many farmers, truck gard
eners and dairymen declare they
would have to give up raising for
market. Thus, the motor truck and
the Rural Motor Express is stimulat-
ing production in formerly unproduc,
tive sections remote from cities and
railroads by providing dependable
means of transportation to the com
mission merchant.
Rural Motor Express is an out
growth of the Farm Table idea
which had its inception during the
war period when the food admins
tration suggested to the farmer that
they place placards at their gates and
showing fresh vegetables and prov
duce that could be procured by the
motoring public Farm-To-Table

time movement and is intended to TO-
Gus attention on the utility value OF
the Rural Motor Express.
The Movement has a far-reaching
educational value in the production
of higher quality produce and will
greatly benefit the commission mer-
chant and grocer. 1t will get the publ
lie to thinking more and more in
terms of fresh vegetables. Medical
men and associations have been ant
are urging more extensive use of
fresh vegetables and fruits. 1t will
increase the demand and sale of alN
products of the farm. Hence the re-
taller as we'll as the general public
will be rewarded.
The produce and commission mer
will be particularly benefited by d.
rect-from-farm shipments---he will
be enabled to replenish stock thus Dcet
venting loss of trade. The Rural Mo
tor Express plan has decided civic
value in that it will move vegetables
and other farm produce from the i'm
mediate surrounding territory, there
by eliminating long rail shipments
and keeping the money and trade If

One National Bank
Fails in u Months

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Estab-
fishing record for immunity from
failure, national banks of the United
States have gone through the last
twenty-five months vG:n only one en-
forced closing, according to an an
nouncement by John SHELTON Will
liams, Comptroller of the Currency.
The one failure reported by Mr., Will
liams was in 1918, no bank having
been forced to suspend during the
last ten months of this calendar year.
This record, Mr.. Williams said, stands
out as thirty times better than the
average for any similar period in the
forty years life of the present ma
tional banking system.
For the first ten months of the
present year 221 charters for new
national banks were granted by the
Comptroller. Of these all were made
operative in October. The banks char
tered in October, Mr. Williams state
ment showed, had an aggregate capt.
tai of $500, 1000, as compared with
five charters granted in October, 1918,
with an aggregate capital of $685.
The tremendous strides taken by
American business, the Comptroller
said, was reflected in the number of
banks increasing their capital stock,
as well as in the granting of new
charters. According to the Comp
troller's figures 298 national banks
added a total of S42,65S,999 to their
combined capital stock during the first
ten months of this year. In the same
period last year, the figures showed
ISL national banks increased their
capital stock by $16,379,O0O.
While the great increase in CAPT
tai stock was going on only four
banks reduced their capital obliga-
tons. The total reduction was $685.

statement.

VICTIM OF TURKS RAPAClTY
Dead City OF Farmagusta, on Island OF
Cyprus, a Monument to Their
Savagery and Hate.

Farmagusta, ''the place Of the god.
dess," is in a desolate corner of the
far-famed island of Cyprus One look
at the wrecked city shows plainly that
the goddess has forsaken her affairs.
1t looks as though sandstone had
struck the place and buried its glory
beneath a dune, from which rise the
remains Of churches, towers and a
cathedral.
1t was not, however, the sands Of
the tropics that laid the ancient me-
tropolis low. The Turks, wrathful at
this city of 300 churches, attacked it in
a siege which might have rivaled the
lengthy Trojan episode had not hum
ger overcome the city's defenders. The
pillaging of the conquerors completed
the ruin wrought by battering rams,
fire and stones.
Earthquakes followed and settled
the shattered stones further into the
sand. But through the city's days of
destruction, even today, the outer walls
and bastions stand firm. The harbOr
stronghold of Farmagusta would be a
formidable obstacle to attack even in
this day of 50-mile guns and scientific
artillery fire.
In one corner of the wall stands a
tower said to have been the scene Of
Desdemona's death at the hands of
OthellO.
Aside from the strong walls there
are few bits of intact architecture
among the debris. An occasional palm
tree growing up through the ruins adds
to the effect Of abandonment. A few
Turks hold the city gainst time, the
only enemy left to 1t.

Porpoise Killed Shark.

How bottle-nosed dolphin, a por-
poise commonly called the seahog,
slew a 6-foot shark, is described by
Galveston (Texas) fishermen, who say
they witnessed the killing from the
causeway which connects Galveston is
land with the mainland.
The seahog, according to the books,
is "most sociable and gregarious fish,"
but these fishermen declared there was
nothing sociable about this dolphin.
When the shark was within a few feet
of the porpoise the fishermen saw the
seahog charge, gray streak in the
water. It struck the shark squarely
amidships, they declare, ripped it open
and then tore the body into pieces
The theory of the fishermen is that
the porpoise fought to protect its
single young one, which the shark was
menacing.

Chihuahua Is Smallest.

The smallest of all recognized breeds
of dogs is the Chihuahua, which is also
one Of the most intelligent of all the
canine family. This breed is a product
of Mexico and is named after a north
ern country where there are thousands
of these little dogs running wild and
multiplying each year. 1t, seems a re-
markable thing that In spite of the,
fact that they have never had any
dog shows In Mexico, one only has to
visit that country and try to purchase
a really good, typical little Chihuahua
from a native to realize that the Next
cans know the worth of this dog of his
own country. How. these dogs were
bred probably never will be known.
Some authorities have intimated that
they were bred some generations back
from large squirrels, and this view is
borne out by the fact that at one time
these dogs ran wild in the woods and
that the Chihuahua is nearly as pro-
ficient in running up trees as the squir-
rel.

MUST WEAR DARK CLOTHES
Strict Rule for Employees In Factories
Where Work Is Done
on Gold.

Clothes Of light color are not IA
vorites where work is done on gold.
In, fact, in many such factories dark
suit of clothes is absolutely demand
ed, and even a light waistcoat may
lose man a job. The reason for this
is that any stray grains Of gold that
may get on the clothing can easily be
caught on dark suit, while they
might get away from the establishment
If light clothes were worn.
That such q rule was enforced
among gold workers one man learned
recently when a Bohemian gold beat
err applied to him for a helping hand.
The Bohemian said that he had not
been in this country long. that he had
had chance to obtain good job at
his trade, but that the place had been
refused him because he turned up
with light suit and waistcoat on,
and they were the only clothes he
had.
The man whom he approached was
struck by the story and offered to help
him out If 1t proved true. He went to
a factory with him and found out that
the man could have the job If he pre-
scented himself within an hour clad in
the proper clothes. So suit of de.
sired kind was obtained for him and
sure enough he got the job.
"You may think this is strange" said
the foreman of the factory, "but 1t
mans n11itn n 1of tO ne Evnrv mans
clothing is carefully examined when he
leaves the place at night and the gold
is brushed off whenever we see any
on his clothing. 1t is impossible to
hide even tiny grains on dark back
ground, but in the case of mixed or
light suit we might easily lose quite
an amount of gold, and gold isn't any
thing you want to lose even in small
quantities"
