WHAT CHICAGO OWES TC
GEOGRAPHY

Chicago Is the subject Of one Of
series Of bulletins on American cities.
The following description is based on
communication to the National
Geographic society by William Joseph
Showalter:
Geography made Chicago. Its po-
sition at the foot of the Great Lakes
resulted In its evolution as the farthest
inland terminus Of navigation Of the
inland seas.
"Made what it is by the processes
Of geography. Chicago soon returned
the compliment by helping geography
transform other regions. Its slaughter
ing and packing industry has changed
the center Of gravity Of the meat-pro-
ducing world. Its agricultural imple-
ment industry has revised the eco
nomic status of more than half Of
the inhabitants of the earth. Its
sleeping-car industry has entirely re-
vised the geography Of travel, bring
Ing hundreds Of places separated by
mountain and plain close to each
ether.
1T is interesting to pause for
bird's-eye inventory Of what the city
Is today. Fourth in population. it
ranks first among the worlds great
urban centers In many ways. No 9TH
er place butchers as much meat.
makes as much machinery, builds as
many cars. sells as much grain. or
handles as much lumber.
'aThe Michigan avenue improvement
Is a major feature of the now famous
Chicago Plan The beautiful high
way, with its connecting arteries,
unites the North Shore with the South
side. For years this thoroughfare has
been the pride Of Chicago, and the
admiration of all who visit the city.
As a part of the Lake Shore drive
that links the woods Of southern Wis
consin with the plains Of northern In
diana, It is a magnificent street.
ITO secure the full benefits of her
situation, the city Is undertaking to
connect her three great lakeside
parks. Already Lincoln park has
edged a narrow way southwark along
the beach until there is q wonderful
curving stretch of green reaching to
Grand avenue and making a four-mile
parkway unbroken and unmarried.
"The city annually spends five mil
lion dollars for park purposes; NOR
per capita. perhaps. than any othel
city of the first order in existence
There is not a keep of the grass
sign in the entire park system; ant
all recreational facilities are free ex
cept the boats in the lagoons.
There is a swimming hole with
in walking distance Of every boy IL
Chicago: and even with the fine mu
nicipaI bathing beaches Of the lax
front not far away. these mid-city parl
lagoons are always in uses providing
Joy for the hearts of the Riddles Wit
visit them"

CAN RID SHEEP OF INSECTS
Irritation Causes Animals to Pull
Their Wool and Thus injure

Dipping IL the only practical way
to rid sheep Of ticks and lice, say ex-
perienced sheep men, who further
point out that lice cause sheep to
pull their wool and thus injure the
fleece.

even more dreaded Sometimes 1t II

he will see that they move.

CAN'T MEET Terms
DECLARES GERMANY
UTMOST SUM NATION CAN PAY
Is 10000, ooo, 900 MARKS, THE
MINISTRY HAS DECIDED.
Germans May Suggest That United
States Be Called In ~ An Arbi-
TRAITOR for Purpose Of Pre-
venting Extreme Measures.

Berlin.-The ministry of finance has
reached the conclusion that the ut
most sum Germany can pay in repara-
tons is 1JO,O0O.OOO,OOO marks, this in
Guiding all she has 50 far paid in cash
and goods, according to information
which the Deutsche Zeitung says 1t
has received from special" source.
This 15O,OOO,OOO,OO0 marks would be
paid off in thirty years under the plan
outlined by the newspapers informant,
who also is quoted as declaring thar
the proposal to pay it would be SUBJ
mitted TO the authorities at Paris for
the purpose of learning whether the
tons will permit of its consideration
along with the allied proposals adopt
ell at the recent Paris conference.
Refusal to allow consideration Of the
German eounter-prOpOsal would result
i'm Germany absenting herself from the
London conference. set for March /,
the newspaper declares it has learned.
1t adds that Germany would then sug-
gest that the United States be called
in as an arbitrator for the purpose of
preventing the entente from adopting
measures such as an invasion Of the
Ruhr district, which, it declares, would
be looked upon by Germany as an act
Of war which would positively destroy
the treaty of Versailles.
In the Deutsche lettings article the
suggestion was made that. while the
entente was extremely DESTROYS Of
bringing about the London conference,
it was not unlikely that the delibera-
tons would be postponed to a date
around the middle of March, in order
TO give the new Washington govern
ment an opportunity to participate In
them.
The suggestion that the United
States be invited to mediate fails t.
arouse enthusiasm in the conservative
industrialist organ. Die Post. which
expresses fear that the American yer

the sum between that submitted By
Germany and the entente figures
would be more likely to incline tOwart
the sum the entente is demanding.

FERROUS disappearance from the home
of her daughter and granddaughter in
an artists colony has been under in
vestigation by the police. was found
Wednesday buried in the back yard Of
the studio on Fifty-seventh street,
where the family lived.
The woman's daughter and grand
daughter are said to have confessed
that the aged woman died of natural
causes last June and had been buried
by the two women in the backyard
flower bed, where the aged woman had
carefully tended her geranium plants.
Dire poverty caused the two women
to bury the body secretly.

struggle for being squeezed between J
the Austro-G German armies on the
north, and other central powers for
ces attacking on the south.
Moldavia had approximately one.
fourth Of the population and one
fourth Of the area Of the KOumania
Of 1914. The population Is a little
less than two and a quarter million,
and the area a little less than 15,OOO
square miles. To the west Of 1t lie
Pennsylvania and the Austrian crown
lands Of Bukowina. To the east lies
Bessarabia. with the river Pruth mark
ing the boundary the entire distance.
On the south Is Wallachia. the other
wing Of the ROumanian kingdom
The Sereth river divides MOldavia
into eastern and western sections,
flowing the entire length Of the prin-
cipality along the foothills Of the
Carpathian mountains. Eastern Mol
davia, composed mainly Of the high
plateau lying between the Pruth and
the Sereth, is approximately 275 miles
long and has an average width Of
about 50 miles. Western Moldavia
is entirely mountainous, the crest Of
the Carpathians forming the boundary
between it and stria-Hungary.
The history Of the principality OF
MOldavia is Of striking interest. 1t
was founded about the middle Of the
fourteenth century by the WaIlach

large state, embracing the present
Moldavia, Bukowina, and Bessarabia.
Poland and Hungary were both rivals
| for favor at the Meldavian court, with
| neither able permanently to assert its
overlOrdship. Stephen the Great ruled
| Moldavia from 1857 to 1904. and de-
fed the Turks, winning a signal vic
| tory over them at RakOva in 1475.
Gradually growing stronger, however,
the Moslems succeeded again, under
Stephen the Greats successor, in es-
tablishing their mastery.
| Although the Turks never settled
the country, they proceeded to build
fOrtresses. and thus managed to hold
their ground.
| Up to 1921 the country was gov
erned by hospodars appointed by the
sultan from the families Of Greek arts
tocrats. In that year native princes
were once more made to head the gov
eminent, but in 1929. Russia having
gained q victory over Turkey. was &C
corded a protectorate over MOldavis
under the treaty Of Adrianople. Thi!
treaty was terminated by the Crimear
war and the treaty Of Paris. There
after, the powers agreed to set UP tn
two principalities Of Moldavia and
Wallachia, which in their turn deeid

number Of cases in 1901 exceeded that

of mortality among persons attacked
increased from 73.4 in 1900 to 91.7
In 1901.
ION account Of the important part
which house rats are known to play
in the distribution Of bubonie plague,
a systematic campaign was inaugu-
rated against these rodents In Manila.
Policemen. sanitary inspectors. and
specially appointed rat-catchers were
furnished with traps and poison. and
both traps and poison were distribut-
ed to private individuals under proper
restrictions. A bounty was paid for
all rats turned over to the health au-
thorities and stations were estab-
lisDed at convenient points through
out the city where they could be re-
celved. Each rat was tagged with
