The Wonders Of America
THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.
By T. T. MAxEY

THE colossal statue of Liberty en-
i tightening the world, the gift of
the people of France to the people of
the United States, in commemoration
of the centennial Of their national in
dependence, stands on Bedloe's or Lib
erty Island in New York harbor and
was dedicated October %, 1886. 1t
has welcomed millions of people to
our shores, and it babe farewell to. our
brave soldier boys when they sailed
away to save the land from whence
it came.
This statue is of bronze, 151 feet
high and rests upon a stone pedestal,
approximately 100 feet high, making
the total height of the entire structure
over 300 feet above the waters of New
York bay. It's estimated weight is 225
tons and the cost, including erection,
was about 100000
The index finger of this gigantic
figure is feet long and IN feet in
circumference at the second joint;
the head is ten feet thick; the nose
AZ feet long and the mouth 31a feet
wide. Forty persons can stand in the
head and the torch will accommodate
IL more. There are 154 steps in the
statue from the pedestal to the head,
and the ladder in the raised right arm
contains "a rounds. The light in the
torch is maintained by the United
States lighthouse service and is visi-
BILE for many miles at sea.
The view that greets the eye from
the top is one of the most marvellous
in all the world

HATHEN two mel hborG enter into dispute there
w usually two sides to the question at issue,
with merit on both.
If each is willing to talk it over dispassionately
it is not difficult to effect amicable adjustment
But if one or both stubborn, they come to blows
one gets licked and the other is punished by the
courts OF his conscience.
Talking it over is good thing It is a Jewel to
be fostered and encouraged among our people. 1t
brings to light the good and the weak points of
both sides, inculcates an element of self restraint
into turbulent dispositions and preserves that spr-
it of afnity which supplies the sunshine of our com
munity life
Talk it over by all means-and if at first your
talk does not succeed talk again.

An attempt to rescue a large con-

loose roller, cost Albert McCreary
a crippled back and internal injuries,

Superior Court yesterday, asking $751;
600 damages, of the United Verde Cop

McCreary, who now live sin Mari
copa County, was employed in the
Clarkdale smelter as oiler and care
taker. One day he observed the large
conveyor belt shift from its mornings
and threaten to tear up the works.
HeNatteptted to secure the roller on
which it was running, but the machin-
cry was threshing around so it hurled
him to the lower floor, injuring his
back and causing 81 minternal injur-

received through his negligence, but
in the course of a hazardous occupa-
ton and seeks to secure payment
therefor.

XIESSEIS engaged in foreign trade which enter
ed and cleared American ports during fiscal
yearended June 30th, 1919 aggregated nearly
$4,000 nettons, according to official figures.
Of'this tonnage nearly So 100000 was foreign and
1900 900 was American, either new or temporarily
operating under flag. Of the American ton
nagesOyers 80 500, 600 piled between the u. S. and
North Americana ports
Total trade for fiscal year 1919 was $10 179,000,
00O' imports So 096, 100000 and exports $7074OO0
0O0. Our, total trade with North America came to
$2S44,000 O00, ofwhchS1 ,344 100000 was hauled by
"cars and other landtvehicles," leaving something
like one billion dollars worth of our trade to be
eddy 33500000 net tons of American vessels
While this was going on, the remainder of our
trade with the wofdFalnountng to 81 835,OOO,OOO in
value, was being carried by something under 6000O
900 ofnet tonnage, of which nearly 90 per cent
foreign or, at rough calculation, foreign vessels
carried about 900 C0000Oo or 70 per cent of our
tire trade last year. Thus while 800 900 net tons
of American vessels were handling one billion dol
lars worth of our foreign trade within the confines
of the North American division 52,OOOOGO net tons
Of foreign vessels were getting paid for handling
seven billion dollarswofth of our foreign trade to
and fromsthe of the earth and in
between. Ton for ton, foreign tonnage showed an
efficiency nearly four and one-half times greater
than our own in getting cargoes.
For example, Japan, with an entrance and
clearance in Americanp of 1,588O00 tons. han

trade, orwithl less than twntieth of the tonnage
we devoted to North American trade the Japs han
