WONDERS OF AMERICA
@, western NeWspaper Union. THE U. s. NAVAL ACADEMY
By I. T. MAXEY
INCLE SAMS great training school

I INCLE SAM'S great training school V for the development of the genii who are to guide the destinies of the American navy was founded in the year 1S45.
 It is located at Annapolis the quaint little capital city of the state of Maryland, which to this day, re- tains a distinctly English flavor-on tract of land where formerly stood Fort Severn. It's position on the River Severn. which connects it with the Chesapeake bay, is both fitting and an advantageous one.
 When the Civil war broke out a change of location was considered ad- visable and the academy was moved 10 Newport, k. l. In 1865 it was moved back to Annapolis.
 Since 1898 most of the Buildings have either been enlarged or recon structed and many new ones have been built. Today this academy is considered the best-equipped and hand someSt naval institution of learning in the entire world.
 The present course, much of which Is usually spent at sea, requires four years to complete. After graduation midshipman is commissioned an en- sign in the navy and assigned to reg ular service.

J. w. Fordncy Shows Need For United States Valuation
Congressman Points Out Neces- sity for New System Incorporated in Tariff Bill.


 I've are importing at the rate of about $300,0000O0 worth of foreign goods per month into the United States," declares Congressman J w. Fordney, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Most ef those goods could be made here. here IS not manufactured article produced in the United States in which the labor cost is less than % per cent. of the total cost-l mean, following the raw material from start to finish. Now, If that is true, of the $300,000,000 that we are send ing abroad each month to buy for cign made goods, $250,000000 is going out from the people of the United States to employ German, French, English, Japanese and Chi nese labor, while our laborers are walking the streets Ill idleness.
 e'Onder free trade we must come to q common level somewhere, if we compete with all the countries of the world. Today German labor IS get t'lg from o0 to 65 cents per day in u for ten or twelve hours. Ja2au- e1e and Chinese labor today k from - to IS cents per day i'll gold for a elIe hours work i we had to be
 leed on par with the imports l-am those countries, do you believe we could lift those foreign countries up to our standard of living Not at all, We have got to come down to common level somewhere, but We are not ready to do that, and we are not gong to do 1t.
 Revision Demanded
 "sThe people of the country are de- maudng tariff revision. Some people say that Canada will retaliate Can ala Is the best customer We have in the world, on the basis of population. There is no place in the world where our balance of trade is stronger than i'll Canada. Canada has no reason 10 complain about the rates fixed III tne new tariff bill; none whatever. 1 shall tell you why
 Last year Canada collected Sl9 90 in import duties for every man, wo- man and child in Canada. Great Brit ain, the great free trade country of the world, or said to be, collected Sl650 per capita, or $728,0O0,000 We collected $3l5. Little Japan is col lecting at the rate of 20 per cent ad valorem upon all her imports. duti- able and free We have the lowest duty of any principal country on the face of the earth right now, and have had since 1913.

Some people are opposing Ameri- can valuation. -ome of the great im- porters of lhc country Some of them have sent out circulars appeal ing to tie merchants of the country, the manufacturers, to appeal to their Co.'s. ossmen and their senators 10 oppose American valuation. Why 1 shall tell you why. Last year in the customs office of New York alone there were fifty four hundred cases of under valuation. and this year they are running at the rate of i've hundred cases month.
 Why do foreigners who export to this country, or>rcople of this coun- try who import from foreign coun- tries underyalue? Because they pay less duty. Profit is made in the duty if they can import at fifty cents on the dollar of the real value of the goods"

Ancient Bible.

A Bible belonging to Elizabeth Had
don, a Quakeress, printed In 1865, has
been discovered in the East. The Had
don Bible is sixteen years older than
the Reims Testament sometimes
spoken of as "the Oldest Bible" The
Haddon Bible is an authentic "Great"
Bible. 1t is also a "Treacle" Bible.
Coverdale, the translator, rendering
1.-THE Prophecye of Jeremye," gave
the reading Il am hevy and abafhed !;
is there no triacle at Gylyad." This
in the King James modern version
reads "balm in Gilead."
The Haddon Bible is indeed Great"
1t weighs IS pounds, and its dimen-

HIGH PLACE FOR LEWIS cASS
Was instrumental in Setting Up Amer
lean Form of Government In
Western Territories.

"Those who pushed the frontier west
ward were themselves the products of
frontier conditions" says William B.
Shaw in the american Review of Re
views "Such leader was Lewis
Cass, a native Of New Hampshire.
who went out as youth to the settle
ments that were soon to be organized
into the state of Ohio, took part in
lawmaking there, served as a volun-
teer officer In the war Of 1912, was ap-
pointed governor of Michigan terri
tory, and for many years was engaged
in the difficult task Of setting up an
American form of government In re-
gions that had barely emerged from
the wilderness stage.
"That y.ewis Cass was In after years
United States senator from Michi-
gan. a member Of cabinets, diplomat
and an unsuccessful aspirant for the
presidency may have partially blinded
us to the really important services that
he rendered in the pioneer period OF
Michigan's history. Neither he nor
any of the men of his day could have
foreseen the strain that was to be put
on the states created out Of the old
Northwest territory caused by the at.
tempt to absorb vast populations OF
northern European blood into the citi.
zenship.
"Iewis Cass lived to see great ar.
mics recruited among those newly
made Americans to fight for the Union
and the principles Of nationality which
he had himself defended throughout
his career"

Few Do Much WALKING.

Statistics of mankind's ambulations.
including young children and Old per-
sons, and taking into consideration
the fact that nowadays there are the
inclination and the facilities To ride
more and walk less than our fore
fathers did, show that a fair estimate
OF the average distance walked dur
ing the "a hours by the men, women
and children of continental United
States seems to be four miles. The
pcstman and the policeman and the
messenger boy walk far more mites
than four, so does the farmer, though
the use of the tractor has taken some
of the burden of agricultural work off
shank's mare.

Then after dinner as usual Tonnibel,
with Gussie Piglet in her arms, read
from the Bible. The clock struck ten
when she arose softly and began to
prepare for the night. BY the even
breathing of the man on the bed she
knew he was asleep, and as quiet as
a mouse she crept about softly so as
not to arouse him. The suite directly
back of Paul Pendlehaven's had been
given to her. She went into her bed
room and made ready to retire. Then
over her night robe she drew light
kimono.
She turned off the electric switch
and stood near the window looking
out. Her heart sang with gladness.

afternoon to hear dear voice telling
her of a great love, love for her, Ton

There wasn't any wind, not even a

throat as she crept away from the
window and back into Pendlehaven's
room. The little night lamp glimmered
dimly above the small table with its
load of medicine glasses. She stood
in the shadow and peered through the
screen. There among the dripping
branches was the quiet figure of a
man.

The least wind that blew brought back
the awful moment when he and Devon
had discovered the girl had drowned
herself, and because of his tormenting
conscience he drank more heavily ev-

went to his room where he filled him

of Tony's pale, terrified face.
He slept soddenly for an hour or so
and only awoke when servant raped
at the door and told him dinner was

lay staring hopelessly about the room.
Then suddenly out of the shadows in
the corner flOated Tonnibel Devon. He
groaned and turned slowly in the bed.
Instead of getting better he was get

daughter was haunting him in every

Long Hours in China,

The Chinese servant is wonderfully

mences work early in the morning and
seldom gets to bed before late at night.
Moreover he gets no night out or half
day off once a week. If nature had
not endowed MIN with a plethora of
uncleS, auntS and grandmothers who
are obliging enough to die at conve-
nient times, and even to repeat the
process if necessity arises, the ennui
Of his mOnOtOnous life would be too
terrible to contemplate. Although the
Chinese boy is no plaster saint, and in

usually honest.
