BARGE CANAL IS PR0P0SED;Co
 THEN BY WATER
Government Engineers Board Working on New Trans
 portation Problem.

CINCINNATI, O., July 29-Coal by direct water route from West Virginia and Kentucky to Chicago and the Northwest and ore from the Lake Superior region by direct water route to the Ohio Valley states is the main argument presented to the boaht of engineers in Washington, which now has before it the plans for the building of barge canal from Toledo to Defiance, O.; frosl Defiance to Chicago, via Fort Wayne, and from Defiance to Cincinnati
 At the same time the appropria tions have been made and work has begun on the improvement of the Il linois River which is the connecting link from the Chicago Drainage Canal to the Mississippi River Whep this improvement is completed there will be a through deep water way from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico
 Between the Eastern waterway from Chicago to New Orleans, the Central waterway line advocates de, sire a through waterway from Toledo through Cincinnati to New Orleans and give the whole Ohio Valley an outlet to the Gulf and to the Great Lakes.
 One of the most important features the Central waterway project sup porters say, is it's branch from De fiance to Lake Michigan, which would save Chicago, Toledo and oth CT Lake ports mileage of some 4S0 miles as compared with the haul via the Straits of Mackinaw. This route, it is claimed would be of in valuable benefit to Chicago and the Northwest in securing water rates on coal from Kentucky and West Vir- ginia and in like manner it would give low water rates to the Ohio Val region. At present the Ohio Valley gets water rates on coal, but must pay rail rates on ore In like man. ner ports on the lake get water rates on ore and are paying rail rates on coal. Under the Inland Waterways, system the Great Lakes would have several through water way outlets to the sea with propo sition pending for an additional one via the St Lawrence River. This inland waterway system would give all points along the channels an op- portunity to make through shipments by water the same as by rail to all points on the seaboard as well as elsewhere and for foreign shipments Lit would be the only means of an all water haul.
 It is estimated that it will require one year or more for such a com plete field survey as is necessary for estimates on which to advertise for bids and that it will then require l from four to five years for construc- tion. The canalization of the Ohio 1 River requires 53 dams and locks. About three-fourths of them have been completed and the present movement contemplates passing the improvement of the Ohio River to completion by the time that the deep waterway is constructed from that river to the Great Lakes.

Tides Tomorrow
Fur Business Fell Of
 Last Year; Report Made

SEATTLE, July 29.-A special dispatch to the Times this afternoon from Washington says that although last season was an off one for fur coats, more than $100,000,000 worth of furs were sold in the United States, according to the figures of the biological survey, made public today.
 The gross business in connection with imports and exports of domestic furs the previous year was $375, 5,000, 000 This was in the period when most women possessed fur coats.
 The recent depression is thought to be the transient feature of read. justment attending the return of the market to normal conditions.

 Tourists who usually visit Swift zerland during the summer are going to French and Italian resorts.
 The Swiss, themselves. to a con siderable extent, are abandoning their own country to spend their outings in France, where Swiss money counts for twice it's value at home, or in Italy. where it counts five times the normal value.
 The crisis shows not only in the absence of tourist trade. but in in dustral stagnation, a good many workers being already out of em ployment. h. .sF

GAINED 1896
MEMBERS IN YEAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s.-oppo-
sition to religious pretudiccs Is the
keynote Of the knights OF Columbus
annual convention opening here yes
terday. sounded in the pre-conven-
tion address OF Supreme Knight
James A. Flaherty. FlaherV de-
nounced what he termed ''profcs-
sional purveyors OF prejudice" whom
he charged with seeking to divide
American citizens into classes and TO
create suspicion and distrust.
Flahertys address drew attention
to the widespread circulation of an
oath attributed to the fourth degree
members OF the knights of Column
bus. which was characterized as a
vile invention"
''This OATH" he declared. 'is i'm
possible and ridiculous on its face.
but il now is being circulated by
millions of copies through the coun-
try, bearing the imprint OF the Con-
gressional Record because. by acci-
dent. It appeared as an exhibit in the
proceedings Of Congress.
For the first time in the history
Of the Knights OF Columbus. at this
convention, we take occasion 10 ask
press and public 70 make known as
widely as possible the real obligation
taken by all Knights Of Columbus:
IL swear to support the Constitu-
tion Of the United States. pledge
myself, as a citizen and Knight Of
Columbus, to enlighten myself fully
on my duties as a citizen and to con-
scientiously perform such duties en-
tirely in the interest OF my country
and regardless Of personal conse-
quences pledge myself TO do all in
my power to preserve the integrity
and purity Of the ballot and TO pro-
mote reverence and respect for law
and order. | promise 10 practice my
religion openly and consistently, but
without ostentation. and to so con-
duct myself in public affairs as to
reflect nothing but credit upon our
holy church. to the end that she may
flourish and our country prosper, to
the greater honor and glory OF God. ."
William j. McGinley. Of New York,
supreme secretary, reported that the
year ended June 80, 1921, witnessed
the greatest growth ever experienced
by the order. He reported that $3.50
members was the net gain in mem
bers.
"And this is based on qualifications
OF membership in good standing
more rigid than that required by any
fraternal organization" the report
states. Thousands OF others who
have joined the organization are in
sluded in the gross, but not the net,
gain"
The total American membership
Of the X. OF c. is now 75s,155, his re-
port shows, New York leading with
