the scent fare and operating expenses
on the basis of the average price of
materials and labor during some pre-
scribed term of years, such prices to be
higher than during the pre-war period
but lower than those prevailing in
1920. These estimated future earnings
capitalized on a 5 or per cent basis
should then be made the basis for fix

The Right to Reuie,o

If the City of New York should re-
fuse to accept any such estimate of
earning capacity or Of capital value
the city should be given the right to
a review of the estimate by some spe~
cially designated tribunal, whose de-
cision should be binding. Probably
such an estimate could not be made
legally binding upon a traction COM
pany, but any company refusing to ac-
cept the estimate would have no rights
under the plan or the enabling legis-
lation.
If deemed advisable it could be pro-
vided that the estimated capital value
thus fixed for the subway shall in no
case be higher than the price at which
the city is entitled under its present
contracts to recapture the same and
that the estimated capital value of the
elevated lines and surface lines shall
in no case be higher than the esti-
mated cost of reproducing their
physical properties, with due allow
ance for depreciation.
3. The Interborough Rapid Transit
Company and the Manhattan Elevated
Railway Company are to. be reorgan-
lied as follows:
To effect the proposed reorganization
the Interborough Company's properties
are to be sold at receivers sale, sub
ject to the first and refundng mort
gage, or, if found advisable, the mort
gage is to be foreclosed and the prop
critics are to be sold at foreclosure
sale.

Criminals Exploit Mentally Deficient
 Fsychaffisg~ have long recognized the tendency among mental dedeieuts towards erimuaIitE | appears that this tendency is now being discovered and exploited by criminal classes themselves. Al a recent meeting of the Soctete CIiuique de Medicine Men. tale, reports the London Lancet. Drs Marcel Briand and Borel presented a boy, aged fourteen who had on two occasions been used as tool of professional thief It is clear that if this practice Is at all widespread many mentally deficient children with, out criminal tendencies in the first place may very soon acquire them
 These children, incapable of moral judgment, as they often are. should be specially protected by society, which in defending them will at the same time be protecting its own interests.

Rat HeroeA.

From Paris comes the news that the authorities are making war on rats. But the despised rat once did the French a good turn. according to Colonel Repington's history of the war. He says: "On the parapets of the front trenches are what look like window flower boxes. They contain chemical materials for making a smoke screen to lift the German gas when it comes. All the rats in the trenches congregate round these smoke boxes when the gas comes, as they realize that they save themselves from suffo- cation. This process of lifting the German poison gas was discovered quite by chance. During gas at tack some straw was set on fire by ac- cident and forced the German smoke up. The rats came in swarms to squat round the burning straw and gave the French the hint"

An underground tunnel system that has all the fascination of the cata- combs, although It serves the less dra- matic function of conveying heating pipes. is one of the chief attractions at Wellesley college.
 It has just been completed and un- dergraduates are being permitted to ramble around under the 3OO-acre campus.
 The tunnels are six feet high and wide enough for comfortable walking. Girls have found that no matter how cold the weather. 1t Is a good plan to abandon coats when taking this long adventure. The temperature from the heating pipes is about that of Turk ish bath.

man for Refusing to Consider
Matrimonial Alliance.

In spite Of the success with which
the. campaign against the binding OF
women's feet has been waged in China
there are still parts where men will
not marry girls who have natural feet.
Missionaries try, so far as possible,
to arrange marriages between Chris
tian girls and Christian men. One Of
our, Christian girls, writes a CORE
spondent, was getting quite an old
maid, having reached the age Of tWen-
ty-eisht. Several heather had asked
her, but she refused them all. One OF
our preachers approached a country
tenant farmer and tried to persuade
him to ask the twenty-eight-year-old
lady. We all thought it would come
off. The man was about the same age
as the lady in question, and had not
yet succeeued in" getting :engagel. But;
to our surprise, he would have nothing
to do with the plan, and gave as his
reason: "Who would marry girl with
skirt like that?' The girl had her
skirt embroidered in a different way
to the girls and the women in the viii
lage where the particular swain lived,
and he felt that he dared not make
such an innovation on the fashion OF
his own village. A beautiful pair OF
brown eyes, long, fine, black hair, and
a good Christian character counted as
nothing against a strange style OF skirt
embroidery!

Towns With Aliases.

England possesses no such town as
Hull, although one is usually called by
that name. Hull is the name OF TIVE
river. not the town, Kingston-on-ilul',
which stands upon it. Salisbury is an
other town misnamed. New Sarum
is the proper name Of that ultra re-
spectacle cathedral city. Hatfield
should be known as Bishops Hatfield.
Windsor is not the full cognomen OF
the royal town, but New Windsor and
Portland should be called Isle Of Port
land. Some English counties, too. pos
sess move than one name. Hampshire
is usually termed Hants. Officially,
Hants is always known by the
name of the County of Southampton.
Observation-Disclosures is another name
for Morecambe. which should be known
as Poulton-le-Sands; while Wakefield
by-the-Sca Is another name for Bird
lington. These are only few of the
many places that are known by
aliases.-Montreal Herald.

Try Smiling.

Two women were talking; one
smiled as she spoke. and the other
frowned. One looked out on the
world with friendly eyes, and the
other scowled into the faces OF
passers-by.
"Well, you see, learned long ago
how to smile," said the smiling one.
AT first it was not so easy; then by
degrees learned to smile even though
l did feel like crying.
II think that personally I made a
hard study of the psychology of 4
smile. When went into store, and
faced a clerk who was inattentive or
insolent I smiled at her, and then
made known my wants. In most cases
I got back smile for every one l
gave. Not always, Of course. but often
enough to learn that smile would go
farther than Il frOwnl any day. So
that even though I may feel like pull"
ing Somebody's hair, I smile. 1t Is

Catalonia in History.

Catalonia, under the name of His
pania Tarraconensis, constituted
part of Roman Spain. 1t was invaded
and subdued by the Alans, and, after
them, by the Goths, who gave the
country the name of Gothalanla,
changed in the course Of time to Cata-
lonia. In the eighth century the Arabs
gained possession Of the southern part:
When Charlemagne, in 78S, subjusated
Spain as far as the Ebro river, Cata-
lonia formed the central portion of the
Spanish mark, governed by Franklsh
counts who had Barcelona as their res
idence. They soon made themselves
independent of France. In 1151 Earl
Ramon Bcrcnguer, by his marriage
with the Princess Petronilla Ql3D'
united CATALONIA with Aragon. to thc
