PENNIES GROW INTO NOTES
Interesting Connection Between the
Extremes of Currency in Conn.,
monweaIth of Australia.

Toward the end of each year pen
MES and halfpennies go by the hun
dred thousand into Australian chill
dren's money boxes and are held back
by big business firms in anticipation
Of the coming inflow of customers.
To cope with the demand, the Sgd
ney and Melbourne minis have been
steadily at work since June last year.
In four months 100000 new pennies
and 100000 new halfpennies were sent
into circulation in Victoria alone. II
is equally interesting TO note that half
the total commonwealth note issue
consists of fl 900 notes, of which there
are more than $4,000 notes i'm circu-
lation. as against the 1900 odd f100
notes. There are about 13,500,000 FL
notes, and the total commonwealth
note issue is stated as f55,269,719. In
vigorous young commonwealth the
connection between the FL, 900 note
and the newly minted copper i'm the

imagine.

OIL ROMANCE NEARS ITS END

There are vast deposits Of shale In

produce 100000 barrels of oil day
for 500 years. The significance Of
that statement may best be appreci-
ated by rejecting that such q rate Of
production, if maintained for single
year, would surpass the tidal perform
ance of even the great Gushing field.
And who will presume to limit the
future source of oil to shale? In one
form or another prospecting goes on
ceaselessly.
No Oilless age awaits us; but the
passing of the drills and derricks may
occasion a sigh. The "excitements"

duced as per schedule, its records pre-
served in prim, respectable ledgers,

St. Lawrence Canal
Opposed as Harmful
ToU. S. Commerce
State Engineer Tells Legis-
lature Project Would Take
Control of Waterway Out
of the Hands of America

Frank NJ. Williams, State Engineer,
in his annual report submitted to the
Legislature yesterday, strongly opposes
the projected St. Lawrence Ship Canal
that would permit oceangoing vessels
to penetrate to the center Of the con-
tinent by way Of the Great Lakes. He
says the project is not feasible from
any point of view. His principal OBJ
lection is that control of the proposed
canal would not be in the United
States, and that the canal, if built
would benefit Canada much more than
this country.
"The st. Lawrence project would
take the control OF tnc waterway out
of the hands of the United States"
the report reads, "and this condition
regard as highly undesirable. More
ever, it would aid Canada far more
than it would benefit any section of
the United States. for it might divert
from our own metropolis the commerce
which has long been the bulwark Of
our growth and prosperity.
although our relations with Canada
New-York tribune., 1920-02-17

are most friendly, If the people of the
United States realized that the scheme
is chiefly in aid Of n foreign power at
tho expense of our own success,
do not think they would for one mo-
mcnt look with favor upon the pro-
posal"
In the report Mr.. Williams says,
according to the survey made by the
United States Deep Waterways Com
mission in 1900. any ship canal should
follow the route Of the barge canal,
along what is known as the Oswego-
Oneida Lake M Mohawk River route. He
then pointed out that the barge canal,
with the exception Of some local con-
struction work. has been in full opcr-
alton since 1918.
The report Of the State Engineer
says Federal connections to the canal
have hot been entirely completed, and
the delay in this necessary work has
minlmizcd the effectiveness of the
waterway. The report pleads for n
deepening of the Hudson River north
Of the city of Hudson, 80 that barge
cargoes can be transshippcd at Albany
to oceangoing vessels, and so relieve
the congestion at this port
Mr.. Wlliams's report calls attention
to the need in this city for the con-
structior of n state-owned grain ele-
vator. and he asks for an appropria-
ton to cover the erection Of one Mt
Gowanus Bay, Brooklyn, whore an
available site has already been selected.
