LITTLE USE MADE OF RIVERS
@rest Waterwayo Of United States
Seem to Visiting Europeans
to Be kepreeted.

A Chnaman who travels in ths
ohlted States Is certain to remark;
what grand rivers, but how lonely 7"
ny utilizing their rivers 100000, 900
'hihese have managed to get along
"'''out railroads, feat incompre-
hehslble In occidental countries. A
VISITOR from continental Europe would
say: Your rivers of the Nississ,nn,
valley are unequaled as gift Of ma
ture. But where is the commerce?
"here the permanently deepened
channels, united with correspondingly
deep canals for heavy freight. like
those connecting the Rhine, Danube,
Rhone, Loire and others?" Our only
answer could be that we have as yet
scarcely made n beginning with our
splendid streams in the most pro-
ductive valley on earth, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Yet with re-
markable energy, promptness and
success we constructed the great canal
between the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans, paying the entire cost our
selves and opening it ON equal terms
TO all nations. one reason for the
backwardness with our majestic rivers
ana their many nayigable tributaries
Is that we have never taken up the
subject with due seriousness and de-
cisive purpose. We have been dis
mayed when told that the problem in
volved hundreds of millions in money.
But since 1914, including the next
fiscal year. congress has appropriated
S4I,OoO,OOOOOO. The word "impos-
sble" should not be reserved for use
against a profitable investment like
improved waterways.
Necessity knows no law. A vast
emergency presented itself that de-
manded the expenditure of the Sat-
OOO,OOO,OO0 Ia five years. One Of the
first problems in the national emer-
gency was transportation. The rail
roads. Of course, were pushed SO hard
that the government felt compelled to
take them in hand. Adequate water
ways would have been of enormous
advantage, but the big rivers heard lit
tie sound save their own dashng.
1--WE can't afford to improve the
rivers" was the old view. The OBJ
vlous truth is that we cant afford not
to improve them.

A HoosIer Haircut.

Demas Coe, Richmond business
man and former auditor of Wayne
county, has been trying to figure the
difference of an Indiana and Chicago
haircut, He told the story after bust
hess "trip to Chicago and says he no
longer enjoys going to barber shop
In Chicago.
Previously to making the trip, Coe
went into Richmond shop and had a
shave and haircut by barber regard
ed AS expert as any in Richmond. After
arriving in Chicago he went to bar
Der for his shave the next day.
Don't you want u haircut, too?'
asked the barber.
Il just got one the other day." Coe

CHART OF GREAT USEFULNESS
Record Said to Have Saved Many
Thousands Of Dollars for Big
Telegraph Company.

One of the big telegraph companies
not long ago completed chart that
shows all the wires used in the land
service of the company. There are
about 1.000.0OO miles of wires in all.
Each wire is represented by line on
the chart, and a number, with figures to
indicate the material and the gauge.
The chart also shows the route of
every cut-in whether it is for opera
ton or for testing. Besides that, the
tween the various wires in each office.
and even the office assignments Of the
various circuits.
The chart covers 70 sheets, each
three feet by five. If mounted edge
to edge it would form one map 27
feet high and 65 feet long. In order
to handle the record conveniently, the
sheets are mounted in steel frame pan
els that swing like the leaves of n
gigantic book. II is said that this
chart Is the first single comprehensive
record of the material, the size, the
position and the purpose of every wire
operated by the Western Union Tele
graph company. Having such a record
has already saved thousands OF dol
,ars that might have been spent In
construction work had not the chart
shown an alternative scheme that was
better.
