How Holland Is Protected.
1.-THE observations on the rise and
fall of various coasts are impressive:
Holland derives its name form its
subsistence, coupled with the. building
of bikes for the protection of the land /;
the island Of Batavia, inhabited in the
days of Tacitus. is drowned; Zuyder
Zee was formed by an invasion of the
sea about the end of the thirteenth
century, and the Netherlands polders
Tor dike-protected lands) are main
tanned only by artificial entertainments
which have been raised from genera
ton TO generation until now cultivated
fields lie seven to ten meters below
tide level.
"The measure Of the rate of sub
sidence of the Holland coast ranges
from 90 to rs meter per century :
since 1892 the mean has been 90 me-
ter, or nearly a foot per century. The
subsistence of the New Jersey coast

1.-The subsistence of the gulf coast
is less confidently known; but the
geologic indications are that 1t is (at
least between Mobile bay and Calves
ton harbor) nearly as rapid as on the
New Jersey coast, and more rapid
than on the Netherlands coast. at least
since the building of the dikes; SO
that the rate cannot justly be esti-
mated at less than a foot per GEN.

ST. LOUIS GIRLS INGENUITY
They Can Keep Both Hands on Auto
Wheel and Avoid Law.

You can't beat Cupid. Knocked to
his knees by the antispooning edict of
st. Louis county officials he drank the
cup Of bitterness.
The constables declared that men
driving automobiles must keep both
hands on the wheel and quit ~spooning.
But the constables gasped when they
saw girls driving and the young men
sitting alongside with both hands
free.
whats a fellow going to do when
the girls got both hands on the
wheel?" Constable George Roth asked.
"That's perfectly legitimate. That's
what I call beating the law"

The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment in
labor saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops en-.
courage new investment. more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the worlds markets.
The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.

Could Be Seen Growing.

A freak vegetable growth which In
two hours developed from the size Of
a baseball to the proportions OF a
small watermelon attracted hundreds
of visitors to the home of George
Motheral, at Lawrenceburg, Ind. De-
velopment was plainly visible, there
being alternate movements from
side to side. Visitors were unable to
classify the strange formation.

Keys In Process Of Growth.

snow the mainland shore of Mis-
sisslppi sound Is marked by a series
of small and narrow keys and sounds.
evidently In process Of growth, but
much less advanced than those east of
Mobile bay; and these are among the
evidences that along this stretch of
shore the gulf has encroached or the
land to such an extent as to leave the
original keys 20 TO 40 miles behind.
similarly the Chandelier keys and
the corresponding series west of the
delta are small and new and obviously
connected with the delta building.
"West Of A~tchafalaya bay the coast
is characterized by the absence OF
keys and sounds. save OF the infantile
sort, like those OF the inland shore of
Mississippi sound so that this shore
seems incongruous with the rest until
the student discovers the long line Of
completely submerged keys-Sabine
bank, Trinity shoal. Ship shoal. etc
In a position precisely corresponding
to the islands south of Mississippi
sound and forming a direct submarine
connection (save as cut OF by the
delta) between these islands of the
eastern gulf and the well-developed
keys OF the southern Texas shore.
''The position Of these banks. like
that OF the Horn island and its fell
the waters have invaded the mainland.
and that west OF the delta the en-
~croachment has been sufficient not
merely to push back the shore line
80 to 100 miles. but completely to sub
merge the ancient keys.
1.-THE most striking feature of these
drowned and half-drowned keys Is
their symmetric arrangement; except
for the interruption by the delta with
Its new and lesser sand banks), the
great bars form a sweeping curve reg
ular as the beach line of n landlocked
bay, and hence afford a rough measure
of the outbuilding Of the delta as well
as of the invasion of the gulf on Its
tanks.
Hardly less striking than the SYM
metry Of the series Is the closeness of
continuity between keys and banks;
and It Is q significant fact that Gal
weston island is the northwestern
terminus of the west coast system of
keys, the last stretch Of these sand
banks still rising above the level of
the tide.
at is the business of the g~eoiogist to
detect and weigh the evidences of sub
sldence or elevation of coasts and to
estimate the rates of movement for

Cause of Corpus Christi Disas-
ter Is Explained.
HOW HOLLAND IS PROTECTED
Building Of bikes Holds Back the Sea
as the Stanch Sea Walls at Calves
ton Have Prevented Recurrence Of
Disaster Of 1900-subsidence Of
Gulf Coast Is Estimated at About
One Foot Per Century.

An explanation of the coastal for
nation which contributed to the ter
rible inroads of the floods that all but
wiped out the city of Corpus Christi,
Tex. and devastated other gulf towns
is contained In a bulletin from the
Washington headquarters Of the Ma
tional Geographic society.
The bulletin recalls that the Calves
ton flood of 1900. which resulted in
the erection of the stanch sea walls
that prevented a recurrence of DESC
lation at Galveston. was not the first
calamity of that sort which has visited
southern cities.
Witness the swallowing of L1sle
Derniere, a health and pleasure resort
Of New Orleans, with most of its
transient population, just Al years be-
fore Galveston" the bulletin says,
quoting from a communication to the
society.
Florida Keys Farther Out.
1.-THE student who scans the shores
of Atlantic and gulf, either on the
ground or on the admirable maps of
the coast and geodetic survey and the
photographic Office Of our navy. SOC
perceives that the relations between
wave-built bars and wave-cut sea-
cliffs vary from coast stretch to coast
stretch. On the New Jersey coast the
bars are beaten well back to or beyond
the line Of the seaclifs, so that the
ponds or sounds behind the bars are
relatively short and discontinuous:
along the Florida coasts the keys
stand farther out to sea and r sepa-
rated from the mainland by great
elongated sounds often affording nav
igable waterways: while about the
northern shores of the gulf the rela-
lions of the keys to sounds IN more
variable.
"Closer study serves to interpret
these variable relations. From Florida
westward to Mobile bay the keys are
nearly continuous and the sounds long
and narrow; thence westward to
Lake Borgne the typical keys are lost.
though their lines continue in a series
of islands-Ship island, Horn island,
Cat island. etc.-separated from the
mainland by the broad Mississippi
sound still farther westward a new
series of keys. erratic in form and
trend. appears In the Chandelier
islands, and beyond the delta there Is
a corresponding land correspondingly

westward nearly or quite to Atcha-

Mrs. Crosby on Women in Politics

Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby, who
has been called the Mother of New
York Women Democrats" was dele
gate to the San Francisco convention.
She is emphatic in expressing her be-
lief that the millions of American
women whose political status is
changed by federal amendment to citi-
zenship are going to become a power
for good in the nation
"All American women" she says,
"are sufferers from the profiteers. We
must fight them and l am sure we
have ingenuity enough to devise
way to defeat them and, in other
ways, to bring down the cost of living
"The worst prCfteer of all is the
profiteer in houses and land. The in.
crement of land, the rental value,
must be taken for public revenue or
the people will stagger under their
taxes till they drop"
Mrs. Crosby declares that "with
the change in the political status of
women next fall" there will COME, howe

LARGE TRUNK LINE
RAISING $50oOO0 CAN SAVE RAIL
ROAD FROM JUNK HEAP,
SAYS E. A. FROST.
MEETING TO Be HELD SOON
Plan May Also Include Building Twen-

Monroe, La. - Monroe, Bastrop,
Hamburg, Crossett, Monticello and
other towns along the line of the Ar
kansas and Louisiana Midland can
save the railroad froh the junk heap
and convert 1t from a junk water road
into a trunk line at a cost Of $780,,

This is the gist of plans made by
+. A. Frost OF the Frost, Johnson
Lumber Company of Shreveport, and
contained in telegram to the traffic
department Of the Monroe Chamber of
Commerce at a meeting of business
interests was held here recently,
communications were read from other
towns along the line, and it was an
nounced that all stations agreed to
raise their quota of bonds. The half
millions dollars thus raised with a
like amount put in by Frost, Whited
and associates will, it. is said, be used
to buy the present road, connect with
the Ashley, Drew and Northern, build
q fOrty-mile span between Monticello
and Pine Bluff and connect with the
Rock Island and Cotton Belt.
The plan may also include building
twenty miles of track from Monroe to
Eros, connecting with the fremont
and Gulf there and with the Louisi-
ana Railway and Navigation Com
pany at WINFIELD, thus giving
through line from Pine Bluff to New
Orleans. It Is understood other lum'

from all sections affected will be held
soon. The road Is now in the hands
Of receivers and will be finally dis
posed of July g.
A bid of $375,0O0 has been made for
the road with the privilege of wreck
ing the portion above Bastrop. This
bill will be accepted unless a better
