racial discrimination in California and other
matters which have created friction between
the two nations.
A contrast is drawn between the number of
wars waged by the United States and japan and
some of the writers attempt to show that Amer
1t is declared that every war fought by Japan
was for defensive, and not offensive, purposes.
point reiterated is that while they may have
been some justification in the past for the be-
lief that Japan was ruled by military clique,
that party is no longer in power.
These views are interesting, if not altogether
convincing They are not shared by Lord
Northclffe, whose friendliness to America is
we'll known. Speaking before the Anglo
American association in Picking, he advocated
closer relations between the United States and
Great Britain, Never before in history, he
declared, has "Anglo- American friendship been
more necessary" because of the implied threat
of war between the United States and Japan.
The latter country, he said, resembles the pre-
war Germany. "Nominay democracy, she
is absolutely governed by four men whose in
tentions might be judged by examining the
constantly changing map of the far east and
the immense expansion of Japanese arma-
ments."
According to Lord Northcliffe, the militar-
lists of Japan are hostile to America There
can be no doubt about that, since it is admitted
even by japanese statesmen. They assert,
however, that the militarists have ceased to
control national policies. Whether this is true
or not will be shown by the results of the
arms conference. Just at present the militar-
lists are bringing pressureito bear which is be-
ing felt in Washington.

"Ah, you belong to the Rotary club ~ said
Professor Victor Andre Be Launde as he OBJ

of an Age-Herald reporter to whom he was be-

The exile from Peru who is an authority on
South American political science and economies

His former home was Lima, Peru and he was

the imprisonment of Lima editor. Then he
exiled and is lecturing in America.

CAPTAIN COOKS SHIP

From The Manchester Guardian.
The Endeavour, in which Captain Cook sailed
from Plymouth on August 20, 1853, was bought
at the modest price of $500 pounds. Thesma
tonnage of the Endeavour was, to Cooks prac-
teal mind, one of her chief merits. She could
be easily careened and easily handled, and when
he was struggling with the currents of the
Great Barrier reef her captain was able to
thrust out oars through the ports of the vessel
and thus turn her into galley. He crowded
into this small ship complement of S5 men,
with provisions for nearly two years. The
main object of Cooks expedition was to take
some astronomers to Tahiti to observe the tran
sit of Venus, but he was instructed to proceed
afterward to make discoveries in the south
Pacific ocean" 1t was in pursuit of this Sec
ondary object that the Endeavour won her
place in the history of exploration.

NEW ASPECTS OF SCIENCE
From The Chicago News.

From The Chicago News.
Scientific discoveries revealed in addresses
before the National Academy of Science at the
University of Chicago range from the cosmos
to the kitchen, from the parallax of stars to
the life curve of flies, but all have the common
quality, it seems, of reducing man to humility.
Professor Chamberlain by his planetesimal
theory asserts that this earth was never a
flaming entity flung spinning from a parent
sun, but only melancholy heap of star drift,
the flotsam of interstellar seas. Professor
Nicholson, measuring greater girths than that
Of Betelgeuse, reduces the world to cosmic
pinhead. Professor Pearl, serving as actuary
to community of flies, proves that the expec-
tation of life of robust insect, within its
allotted span, is greater than that of man
despite all the boosted projections of modern
science.
Professor Nicholson reduces man to utter
msignificance. The most leather-lunged booster
for this little old earth cannot have much to
say when confronted with the bigness of Betel-
geuse and Antares. But Professor Pearl at
least holds out to an opportunity and a
challenge. The life curve of the fly can be
and must be interfered with. Professor Michel
sons improved interferomentor is all very well,
but it promises to man only added humiliations
in the shape of new stellar immensties. Man
kind looks hopefully to Professor Pearl for an
improved fly swatter.

READY FOR DUCK HUNT

cts just about the time of the year for me
to call it quits at the office and take my an
.nual duck down by Mobile" says w. B. Leedy,
prominent real estate man, who is rs years

Alabama. Sometimes / have shot a deer and

Trophies in Major Leedy's office attest to his
ability. Just Saturday he made a good mark
at the weekly shoot of the gun club.

FAVoRs REST ROOMS

cit seems it would be splendid idea for the
civic organizations of Birmingham to sponsor
a movement for the establishment of rest rooms
and comfort stations for the many people COM
ing to our city," said B. @. Majors. "Public
rest rooms are badly needed here for when
woman comes to Birmingham to shop and brings
two or three children as many must, when they
come, they have no place to rest unless they
use the rest rooms offered by number of local
department stores. If they are here on Sunday
there is no place for them. Practically every
other city the size of Birmingham has public
rest rooms and comfort stations and feel that
our city should maintain its progressiveness
and provide these things for the visitors 70

PANAMA CANAL

Joseph A. Broderick, Vice President National
Bank of Commerce of New York, in Forbes
Magazine.
The, full significance of the Panama canal in
its effect upon international trade routes is be-
coming apparent with the gradual emancipation
incident to the war The Panama canal has
had, in its seven years of operation, potent
effect on both the domestic trade of the United
States and international trade, and it is now
possible, by study of the traffic returns to
discover the most clearly defined of the new
trade routes already. firmly established.
Five new lanes of travel are clearly apparent,
Of these the first two are of prime Importance
to Europe; they are the routes that link the
European ports TO the Pacific ports of North
and South America. The Atlantic ports of the
United States enjoy two new routes to the same
destinations. The fifth new route, that from
the Atlantic ports of the United States to the
far east, is not paralleled by one to Europe, as
almost all the Asiatic ports nearer western
Europe by the Suez tban by the Panama canal.
ance are those between Australasia and the At
lantic ports of Europe and the United States,
and that between the east coast Of Mexico and
the west coast of South America.
Before the canal was-aeened the trade of
Europe with the west coast of South America
was three times that of the United States. Of
the cargoes which passed through the canal in
the calendar year 1920, the greatest quantity
passing over any single route 2,341 ,242
tons shipped over the route between the west
coast of South America and the east coast of
the United States. This amount constituted 81
per cent of the total tonnage passing through
the canal during that year. Traffic from Eu
rope to the west coast was only little more
than half that from the United States, and only
one-ninth of the total tonnage going through
the canal The relatively small share of tom
mage to the west coast countries originating in
Europe was partly result of the disorganiza-
ton of European commerce result of the
war. The trade advantages in South America
accruing to the United States, however, should
vastly increase with the establishment of closer
economic relations and better means of trans
portation.

ROMANCE OF WEALTH
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The few people in New York who knew the
late John K. Stewart-he was of an unusually
retiring disposition for man who had acquired
millions by his own efforts-will be even more
surprised than will the reading public by the
romance of his life revealed in the contest over
his estate.
Neither Mr.. Stewards manner nor his con-
versation suggested man of humble begin
nings and limited advantages, yet the will con-
test reveals that his name was Dennis O'Brien;
that he was mining prospector who met with
such small success that he took to clipping
horses for livelihood and that the inventions
upon which his fortune was based began with
that of Housekeeping machine. That ma
chine had a flexible shaft which was later
turned to use in the Stewart Warner speedom-
eter, a device of such value that millions
sprang from it. What whim led O'Brien to
change his name is not clear, but when he
started east from Seattle, where his fortune
had been established, he took as his own the
name of his invention Stewart was the name
of lawyer with whom he had been associated,
while John K. was the name of horse in
which he was interested.
Under that name he pursued his career of
invention, for which he had natural genius,
and proceeded to build fine mansion in Chi
cago, to buy another at Northport, L. l., and to
become the owner of one of the finest yachts
in these waters. These investments by no
means used up his income. After his death a
clerk in his office found deposit slips on Chicago
banks for more than $800,000 Of which the
office had record, while the bill for the
rent of safe deposit box to which his office
force had no clue revealed 100000 more. Mrs.
Stewart died soon after her husband She
had left suitcase at Aiken, S. c., and when
opened it was found to contain vast sum of
money, although it had been handled like any
other piece of baggage.
This great fortune is left Stewards daughter,
Mrs. Robert B. Honeyman, Jr., and a suit by
her against the managers of the Chicago prop
erty has brought to light the beginnings in the
life of her father, inventor of genius and
man of many fine qualities who had sought to
bury his earlier history.

MAKE ALABAMA APPLE STATE

at is shame that Alabama does not pay
more attention to apple culture" says R. M.
Smith, "as l am told that Professor Starcher

is no reason save a like of interest and care
from keeping the state from being great APP
pie producing one. The crop in the eastern
states is short this year for broker tells me

While yet he trod the ways of life and while
His verses, now eternal in their fame,
Were yet his inmost glory and his shame
Behold this monumental stone and smile
That he, who lies within gorgeous grave
Topped with such heavy grandeur Ger his sleep,
Fought rose and fell and made his way alone.

Others he raised while he himself sank deep;
He asked bread; we gave to him stone
