A Daily Economy

One great feature in this new mitchell
is lowec operating cost. And that means
a daily economy.
A great deal of power waste Is eliminated
in the motor. A thermostat controls the
temperature of liquids, air and gas. The
carburetor intake is twice-better heated.
The gasoline is perfectly vaporized. Fuel
cost is thus reduced about rs per cent.

MUST PRODUCE
 TO FORGE AHEAD
Prosperity Depends on Pro duction, Says Andrew
 BOnar Law.

London, March 27. (vIa MontreaD The prosperity of the country de- ponds upon it's increased production and the efforts of the government will be directed to framing a policy on that basis, said Andrew Bonar Aaw, the government leader in the House of Commons, in q statement in the Commons today on the fiscal policy of the government in reply to = -5%oSion by a member. Imperial preference, the government leader said, would be put into effect at the earliest moment and the chancellor of the eXchequer was considering how to give effect to it in the budget.
 There would be no hesitation . announcing tho general fiscal policy sf the government whenever 1t was p>s9ib1e to decide how it would be carried out, he declared. The cleo z5en declarations of Premier Lloyd ~-eoTge would be fulfilled in letter and spirit, but the government must consider the best permanent system for the country. An anti-dumping bill had been drafted, but had not yet been examined by the govern mept- MT. Bonar Law promised that the government would arrive at a de- cision as soon as possible and that an announcement would be maQs promptly thereafter.
 The government leader contended iE the course of an argument he ad- vanced in favor of tariffs that the most vital vested interests in the country was high wages. He might be asked Coy labor, he said. how 1t would be possible to maintain high wages if cotton goods from Japan were put into the markets at a lower price than British manufacturers lous to suppose, he said. that the old conditions would continue for in- stance, he pointed out, a preference on sugar woEId enormously affect the empires production Of that com modity.
 Tt is not too much to say that we would not have gained the victory but for the help Of the dominions," " said MT. Bonar Law. Therefore, any measure increasing the productive power and man power of the do- minions is a good thing for Britain as well as the empire"
 The government leader referred to the discussion in the Canadian parlia- indemnity and to the declaration of tho acting prime minister of Canada that the Canadians could rely upon Britain treating them generously The speaker remarked that such a spirit was worth more than any fiscal policy to a nation.

THE BIRTHDAY or
 NEW YORK CITY.

Today in the 3O5th anniversary of the granting of the first general charter by the States General of the United Netherlands for trading to New Netherland, thus marking the beginning of New York city, which today numbers some five million peo- pie.
 In 1914 the future city of New York consisted of four rude huts oc- Cupying a site at what is now 4 Broadway. These were the only habitations of white men on Mauhat- tan island. The first ships trading to Manhattan were the Fortune and the Tiger, Amsterdam vessels brought over by Hendrick Christian sen and Adriacn Block. The Tiger was accidentally burned at Manhattan in 1913. Block then constructed the first vessel built on the island the Onrust, Of eighteen tons, which was launched near the battery in the Spring of 1914. In this tiny ship he passed Hell Gate and coasted along as far as Nahant Bay. In 1914 Christiarsen went up the Hudson to Castle Island, below Albany. and built Fort Nassau. a trading house. 36 by 26 feet, in a stoCkade 5S feet square, with a. moat IS feet in width. Tn October. 1914, the Dutch States General gave the name of New Netherland to the country around Manhattan island, and granted its trade by special charter 10 Amster- dam merchants. Christianseu was killed by Indians in 1915. In 1923 thirty families of French Protestant refugees arrived. twenty-two families settling on Long Island. at the Wal about Brooklyn. and the remainder near Fort Orange Three years later Peter A1inuit arrived and completed that famous deal by which Manhat- tan Island. rocky and full of trees,' was ceded by the Indians to the Dutch for S24 worth of trinkets.

VETERINARY SCHOOLS.

The first school of veterinary medi- cine and surgery was established in France by Claude Bourgelet, who was born in Lyons POT years ago today. Bourgelet devoted a large part of his life to the study of the diseases that afflict animals, especially horses, and he raised the treatment of afflicted brutes to the dignity of a science. He died near Paris in 1779. The London Veterinary College, the first in Eng land, was founded at Camden in 1791. Although Bourgelet's school was the first scientific institution of its kind in the world, the practice of veterinary medicine began in the earliest times. In ancient times the study of disease in domestic animals was applied, on comparative prin- IcipIes. to the treatment of disease in the human, subject, in the principle that ''what is good for a horse is good for a. map."

At that time she was already a favorite in Europe. Nordica was born in Pennington, M O., and 1t was as Lillie Norton that she was known in her girlhood days. Her grandfather was Camp Meeting John Allen. q preacher noted for his bitter attacks on the stage. Lillian began her professional career with Gilrnores band, and thus earned the money to continue her studies in Italy. Early in her operatic career she married Frederick Cover. a scientist and electrician, who met his death few months later when a balloon in which he was making electrical experiments was carried out to sea and collapsed.

GEORGE F. BAKER.

About six years ago an old man with WhIe mutton chop whiskers a thick neck and a red face, a picture of ruddy responsibility, appeared be fore the money trust inquiry com mittee in Washington and quietly told that startled body that his bank. the First National of New York, had made $86,O00,000 on a capital of $500, 900 since it's organization tn 1863. The man who gave this testi- mony was George Fisher Baker and the story of his rise ta multi million airedom is one of the romances of modern finance.
 George F. Baker was born in Troy. N. Y, seventy-nine years ago today. He has persistently refused all details in regard to his early struggles. but his rise was not slow, and in his early thirties he held the position of cashier Of the First National Bank of New York. In 1872 Henry Fahue- stock. who had charge of the foreign exchange department, bought a quan- tity of London drafts from Jay Cooks &z Co A few days later Jay Cooke failed, and MT. Baker. who had ap- proved the purchase of the drafts realized that his official head was in grave danger of being lopped off. But he wasn't perturbed. Instead of handing in his resignation, he went to John Thompson, then president of the bank, and calmly proposed the purchase of the bank. The president was a first inclined to believe thai his cashier had gone crazy but Baker was so persuasive that at length Thompson gave him an option for six months. The young banker then rounded dT all his friends in the fan cial district until he had found sui
