New York, May LITTLE days
when fathers began to train their
sons at childhood to follow in their
steps as fellow craftsmen have not
entirely passed In one profession at
least a New Yorker is holding to
them. Louis Mccarthy, who, Is paid

for one thing explained the steeple-
jack. He's never yet shown the
slightest sign Of fear at 1t. And we
encourage him to- climb anything
that is climbable. It's about the
only trade in which competition
doesn't worry a fellow all the time,
Mccarthy argues, and as only half
dozen steeple jacks are listed among
the 100000 names in the tele-
phone books of New York and its sub
urbs, it seems that he is correct.
Every college has felt the impetus
to higher education due, presumably,
to the war. But Columbia University
is faced by such a record breaking
attendance at this summers course
that she has resorted to registration
|tby mail to facilitate matters. There
are. already $4,000 applicants, and
one of the most interesting things
about it is. the unusually large per
centage of business men and women
i n
economic geography, and subjects OF
that kind are being grasped at by
people Of early middle age who have
already achieved some business sue
cess, to a degree unknown before.
The "Life-saving" suit is the latest
innovation among the early season

into the transmitter. Then as the
experiment came to an end, away on
in the crowd a voice was heard to
remark, ''If a captain can drill his

IMMIGRANTS DON'T WANT. LAND

Minnesota sent immigration commissioner down to New
York induce good European farmer immigrants settle
some Of its cheap 100000 acres of good land.
Yhe terms this land make almost gift yet it not
sufficiently attractive to induce the immigrants who
through Ellis Island from the faction torn
countries of Europe to settle on it. .HNxsa&
Illinois has 5000 of wonderfully fertile reclaimed
land in the southern part of it. An effort made to get
5OO immigrants to settle each ten-acre tract The price
was almost nothing, but they didn't get nibble.
Some day immigrants wake and find that if they
will not settle land in this country they may not get the
chance to to the cities There will be for them

neghbor the north and make the selection of mm
