Chinese Like New American Devil Wagons
Electric Truck Revolutionizes Far East Unloading

OF the Yankee modern improve
ment" in freight-moving as a sub
stitute for the strsining and
sweating Of its coolie labor.
The familiar electris truck.
driven by a man standing at a
controller bar in front, and its
long train OF trailers shaking"
behind. which we nowadays see In
nearly every big railroad or steam
ship freight houses In the United
States, Is revolutionizing unload
ing operations in every port In the
world. almost.
Probably nowhere have the
trucks worked a greater revolu-
ton than along the docks Of the
Chinese ports where for years past
the Chinese coolie with his home
made wheelbarrow has been the
one dependable freight handler.
These devil wagons. as the
Chinese have dubbed them. do the
work OF a score OF coolies with a
tremendous saving OF time. which
even In slow-going China Is q
growing consideration.
This is the only one Yankee
foreign trade victory OF recent

land May (. 5. and Z.

Conflicting forces dominate this
day. according to the planetary tes-
timonies. While in commonplace
daily affairs there is the promise OF
success and prosperity. in the realm
Of the heart and the home there are
indications OF inharmony and dis

financial prospects assured, espec-
tally since old delays and obstacles
should be swept aside under an
suspicious influence from Saturn.
Gains and credits should be sub

Those whose birthday it is have
the forecast Of a satisfactory and
prosperous year in business, but
should take care 10 protect and
cherish their domestic and social af-
fairs. Those in employment should
be careful. A child born on this day
should be Industrious, persevering
and make substantial progress in

opportunity to speak TO Yale men OF this
possibility. because In our first report
we cited Yale as perhaps the country's
hest Illustration OF university which
had recognized the enormous total that
would be represented by small gifts from
a large number of alumni. II you men
who are now In Yale were to send back
after graduation only SO year, II
would mean over $4,000 year. or as
much as an annual return from an en-
dowment of $3.50. .000.> Perhaps this is not
ther light method. l do not feel that
ANYBODY knows enough about either the
future or the past TO be dogmatic about
II. I do feel that II would be helpful to
the whole country and to the cause OF
education IL our specially favored young
men and young women who are now In
college would frankly debate the possi-
bility of making sure "a that every coll
lege teacher has a growing wage, and
(2) that those who best see the condi-
tions of college opportunity give and Sc
cure their utmost toward properly finan-
cling higher education
''What do you think? Would you re-
gret to see society expect It's college men
and women to pay the cost of their spe-
cIal ADVANTAGES? Would you rather let
the teachers pay the bill until rich men
leave endowments enough? no you think
II more wholesome to rely upon free
will offerings of alumni and their
friends?"

BeloU Last Year.

Of the fancy fresh. white" variety
dropped S cents In wholesale price, ac-
cording to the current report Of the

exactiDg by conservative families.
Brown eggs advanced. however. about Q
cents a dozen, but the more philosophi-
cal housewives are asked to get solace
from the fact that present wholesale
prices are about 20 cents lower than last
year.
Butter, advanced in price about 2M
cents. On Friday the wholesalers were
demanding and getting IA and as
cents for the best butter. But butter
prices are about 20 cents lower than
they were this time last year. Mush-
rooms are plentiful. the wholesale prices
ranging from II 70 "a cents a pound.

DISCIPLES or CHRIST
LAUNCH DEBT DRIVE
Paying lnferchurch Quota
Caused Shortage.

ST. LOUIS. Nov 26.-Disciples OF
Christ are entering on campaign TO
wipe out debt due on account of the
fateful Interchurch World Movement.
This sum has all been paid to the Move
ment, and most of it was raised frois;
- 'r'oa Themselves. Members of this
religious body. who had opposed cooper
alton with the movement, came forward
with contributions when they learned
The debt was owing and 100000 was
paid in full. Now the campaign Is to
relieve the strain and see that Chris
tian missions do not suffer. Total gifts
to these missions now attain a figure OF
about s3.000,000 year.
A deputaton OF Disciples has recently
been through colleges and seDnaries In
the East and West. not all o. them Dis
ciples, in search Of volunteers for for
eign mission fields. They sought fifty
and have more than half the number.
These volunteers are to go out, II ac-

late Abram S. Hewitt. when Mayor OF
New York. had vision and. had his
recomme ndations as to the development
OF the port been followed. our prosperity
and satisfaction would have been nota-
bly, increased.
I'VE live at one or the greatest CEN
tres of industry and commerce in the
world. but we have done little to keep
pace with our opportunities. A develop
ment Of the ports Of London and Of
Hamburg. and indeed the development
of the port of Antwerp. has been more
intelligent and more farsighted tnan our
own.
There are those within the sound OF
my voice who will live to see from fifteen
to twenty millions of Inhabitants in and
about the city of New York The needs
of SO vast q population stagger the im-
aglnation. They would constitute an
empire in themselves and yet they will
be only the gateway to a still more vast
empire. We should lose no time in car
rying forward our projects OF develop
ment by the construction of a great
series of docks. but the building OF
many and huge terminals. by the inter-
connection of all these by suitably paved
roads and rails.
mo other harbor in the world has
the commercial possibilities of our own,
and none can by any possibility have
so huge a population to serve. In meet
ing these great series of problems we
cannot afford to lose any time"
