Great Wall and the Grand Canal Are
Unapproached in Point of Size
and Grandeur.

What is the most impressive Of
mans work on earth in point of
size and grandeur?
Many people would say the Great
Pyramid. But how far is that
structure outclassed by the Chinese
wall?
The wall is seventeen hundred
miles long and the brick and stone
in every fifty miles of it would suf-
flee to rear a pyramid larger than
that of Cheops.
In its way as an engineering work
the Grand canal of China is as great
a marvel as the wall. Second in i'm
portance as a waterway only to the
7angtze-kiang, it is $50 miles long
and utilizes existing rivers, follow
ing their original windings. The
Yellow river whose floods have
given it the name of "China's Sor-
row") cuts across it.
The most ancient part of the ca
nal is between the Yangtze and the
Hwai-ho, built in the fifth century
before Christ. EKiang" and 'ho,"
by the way, both mean river in the
Chinese language.

With the Soldiers

There remain in army hospitals
throughout the country more than 26,-
600 soldiers still being treated for
wounds received overseas. Red Cross
workers give them the same sort Of
friendly aid-only more Of it-that was
given during the war. Furthermore,
the Red Cross is teaching these lads
occupations at which they can later
make living and Is keeping In touch
with their home folks ia order that no
dependents may suffer for lack Of
funds.

Child Welfare

Boys and girls who learn early to
take proper care Of their teeth,
threats, eyes, ears and stomachs, have
made a long step toward healthy
manhood and womanhood. Through
it's public health and nursing serv-
ices, the American Red Cross aims
eventually to reach all school children
with teachings regarding disease pre-
vention and health promotion. Here's

for sore mouth, at the same time i'm
planting a valuable lesson in teeth
brushing and proper diet.

States that experienced criminals
are forsaking their former-lines OF

litit liquor traffic, officials of the
Integral Revenue Bureau announce
Bo6tlegsing has become more
profitable than safe-cracking. II
pays larger dividends than forgery
or "stiok-up' work.
As i result men who were for
merly engaged in the hazardous
business of safe blowing, picking
pockets, or operating confidence
games, are taking to bootlegglne
on a large scale
Other criminals who are versed
n the methods Of criminal ofganiza-
tion are responsible for the lorna,

brought about the corruption OF

orally appears to have little Or nc

Who VIM Look After The Public

One thing, on which the Anthracite
Commission insists in its report to
the President IS that the increase in
miners wages offers no justification
for any advance i'll the retail prices
OF hard coal.
This declaration is as much part
Of the report of the commission as
any IF its other findings. The award
to the miners is more pay. The
award uot the public is that it must
not be made TO pay more. That IS
clear beyond dispute. The practical
question is, shall one part of this
award be enforced and the other nulii-
fled? sss
The same thing was said with re-
gard to soft coal prices when that
controversy swas settled" and we

DREAMS AND CASH!

"The chief stumbling block for
Mr.. Cox in his remarkable financial
charges says Mr.. Upham, the
genial, able and astute Republican
Treasurer, rs that the man does not
know the difference. between a quota
and a budget. "A quota is dream,
rcseate estimate handed to vari-
Gus leaders. Nobody expects to get
the quota. The idea Of quotas orig
mated during the war. Wa work
ers went after war workers. They
followed the same idea in figuring
out money to be raised for the cam
paign..
All of the big war drives for money
were made by quotas. In all the ful
amounts of money sought were
raised. Was that dream money!"
Mr.. Cox said nothing about "budg-
cts" in his Pittsburgh speech. He
said that the money digging" drive
of the Republicans was scheduled on

had ben assigned t a given num-
Der ofAcities. Mr.. Upham admits d
campaign of quotas. but says quotas
are not budgets; they are "dream
money! and he has no, hope of co..
lecting; them in full.
Butshis Official Bulletin tells a diff
fereptTstory. Mr.. Cox read quota

instances having already gone cove"

Many Of these quotas which have
proved such "pay dirt" are not in
