Trade That Touches All.

We always look to George Z. Rob
erts Of the National City bank to put
things clearly. He told the Export
Managers club at their recent meeting
In New York what had happened to the
world and gave a pat and pertinent
Illustration, says the Nations Busi-
ness.
Russia, he said, was one Of the
great tea-drinking countries OF the
world. India was one of the great tea
producers. The war stopped Russia
from her tea drinking and India
couldn't sell her tea. India is a great
cotton wearing country, but If she
couldn't sell her tea she couldn't buy
cotton. so the mills of Manchester were
shut down. II England's mills were
not running our Southern farmers
could not sell their cotton and they in
turn shut down on buying.
What is true Of tea and cotton is
true in a greater or less degree OF the
hundreds and thousands of things that
make up our daily life. The Australian
market for shoes affects the mill towns
Of New England and the fashion in
stockings In Argentina Is reflected In
the pay roll of Philadelphia worker.

Metal Largely Replacing Wood.

Our ancestors of one or two hun
dred years ago In America lived in
an age of wood. No metal chairs,
no metal filing cases, no brass beds
were to be found in home or office.
Wooden wagons prevailed and wood
en- farm machinery, faced or rein
forced, to be sure, with metal, but
chiefly of wood. Yarn was spun with
wooden spinning wheels and looms
chiefly of wood wOve the yarn.
Substitutes for wood in the past
half century, however. have revolu.
tionized construction of buildings,
bridges and sidewalks. Altogether,
substitutes for wood have reduced
our wood consumption about one-third
In most instances this is all very well,
marking progress in civilization.

GOOD FOR "SWELLED HEAD"
Man Who lmaslnts He Is Thoroughly
Well Known Should Listen
In" Dec asionally.

There is gorgeous lesson In
humility to be obtained at almost
every dinner party for the man who
imaglnes that he has Jumped through
the hoop into the public eye. He may
have climbed half way up Parnassus
in his work as a scientist, an explorer,
a politician, a soldier, an architect, a
painter, novelist or a playwright, or
even have arrived at the tip-top and
be sitting there dangling his feet. 1t
does not matter. There are always
plenty Of people going about who daily
discover to him the fact that his name
means nOthing-or something else.
"Swlnnerton?" / heard once from one
Of those women who always carries a
dog and maintains q husband to give
it exercise. isn't he the man who in

with triumph. And the year before last
at Bar HarbOr / heard Conrad praised
for having devised that very nice soap
that floats In the bath. How good for
the SOUL exclaims CosmO Hamilton,
writing in the Spur.
I remember also a first-hand lesson
In the utter aloofness Of people from
the things that seem to matter. At
a dinner party again. The hostess,
one of the dOwagers Of New York, a
charming and enterprising old lady
whose house has not been altered since
the days Of crinOlines, and who
heatedly denied that the people In
1.-THE Age Of Innocence" had been
drawn from life. She had been taken
the evening before to see a play of
mine that was running and, by a
strange accident, running well, at a
Broadway theater. She told me all
about II. She said, II had such a
pleasant evening. You really must
make an effort to see that play. !
cannot remember the name Of II or
at which theater II was. I cannot re-
member the names Of any Of the &C
tors. / never can. And Of course, i
haven't the remotest Idea who wrote

amusing" identified 1t as mine pres
emily when, going into further details,
the dowager mentioned how particu-
larry pleased she had been with a
stuffed wildcat that stood on the
mantelpiece in the last act. 1t is not
an easy thing to suffer from swelled
head these days. A pity, because 1t

Spaniar ds Liked Nick Carter.

The death Of the creator Of Nick
Carter will very probably cause more
widespread grief in Spain and Latin
America than in Nick's native land.
More thousands Of readers, juvenile
and elders, were regular followers Of
Nick's exploits In the Spanish trans
Iations than there have been in Eng
disappearing countries for more than
ten years at least. Travelling through
the Latin countries, you find the IA
nous weekly still prominently dis
played on nearly every news vender's
stand. The large Spanish publishing
house of Sopena, In Barcelona, has
conducted an immense and profitable
business In making regular transla-
lions of Nick Carter's Weekly and
publishing them Whatever may be
the literary quality of the original.
the Spanish TRANSACTIONS are such
that people of presumably finer tastes
are not ashamed to be seen reading
them. A professor Of romance Ian
guage In the State university Of
Maine was in Havana about three
years ago polishing up his Spanish
conversation. He openly admitted his
great fOndness for the Spanish Nick
Carriers, and recommended them to
all students Of Spanish for the ac-
Quirement Of facility In conversation.

OLD QUARRY TO BE STADIUM
Miniature California Mountain Can Be
Put to Good Use at Compare
lively Small Expense.

I A short distance from Oakland, and
marking the terminus of a popular
driveway along the eastern shore Of
San Francisco bay, Is miniature
mountain covering an area of about
8 acres and 135 feet in height. 1t
has furnished a large amount of ma
terial for building purposes, its bowels
being quarried out in such fashion as
to leave only a shell of the original
hill.
About a million and a half cubic
yards of stone have been removed by
quarrying from the inside Of the hill,
which has been thereby converted into
q sort of roofless amphitheater, with
q fat, smooth floor and an entrance
through one side, represented by q
straight and narrow tunnel, this pas
sage Of entrance and exit being used
for carrying out the blasted rock in
small cars on rails.
To some ingenious person the Idea
occurred that the hollow hill might
be utilized for a stadium, and the
scheme is soon to be carried out, title
having been obtained by purchase
from the quarry company. 1t has cost
the company S1,500,0O0 to create the
amphitheater as II stands (Which Is
80 much to the good from the buyers
point of view), and the expense Of
putting 1t In shape for the cOntem-
plated purpose will be relatively small.
The aforementioned tunnel Is to
be converted into an ornamental en-
trance, with concrete columns. Directly
opposite 1t is a vertical cliff more than
100 feet high and 200 feet wide,
against which a concrete stage will be
built. The floor providing for great
arena) will be encirded by a concrete
wall, from which concrete seats will
rise In tiers, with six concrete stair
ways.
Everything about the Stone Bowl.
as II is to be called, will be extremely
Greek. 1t will have seating capacity
Of 125.OO0 persons, and the arena will
be large enough for football and base
ball games, with a running track
around 1t.

MANY CROWNS IN BASKET
Surprisingly Large Number Of Mo.
narchial Rulers Comparatively Re-
Gently Deprived Of Thrones.

The head that wears a crown has al
ways lain very uneasily in Russia. The
son of Peter the Great, Alexis ii, was
tried for treason and condemned. Later
he was reprleved by his father, but
died in prison in 1899. There are few
countries in Europe which have NOT
had an Overturn of their rulers In the
last century. King Charles " Of
Spain. unable to face the situation
stirred up by the NapoleOnic wars,
abdIcated in 1903. Augustus ths
Strong, King of Poland, was obliged TO
King PontiatOwski of Poland was
forced by the allied powers TO resign
his throne, and Charles Albert Of Sar-
DINA abdicated after his defeat by
the Austrians in 1912.
Even in comparatively peaceful
times, such as the close of the last
century, the number Of rulers sud-
denly deprived of their thrones was
surprisingly large. Our last expert
ence Of the kind in America occurred
as recently as 1889, when Dom Pedro,
the last emperor of Brazil, left his
throne after a bloOdless revolution.
For several years the crop OF royal
exiles continued to be remarkably
large. Alexander Of Battenberg, prince
of Bulgaria, abdicated In 1885. Spain
lost king in 1873, and King Milan Of
Serbia saw fit TO leave his throne in
1889. The ruler of Bulgaria retired af-
ter a peasant revolution.
Just before the outbreak OF the
World war three countries disposed Of
their rulers with more or less violence.
King Manuel of Portugal was formally
exiled and fled to England. Abdul
Hamid sultan Of Turkey, was forced
by a revolt TO abdicate in 1909, and
the emperor of China, Hsuan Tung,
after a successful rebellion, was forced
10 give up his throne as recently as
1912. The list might be continued
Indefinitely.

PiIlnQs Now Made Of Paper.

Piles, for submarine supports are
now being made of paper In Cali

which Is the fact that they are not
subject to attack by the toredo which
ruins wooden piles In a short time.
On a long wooden cylinder a long roll
of tarred paper with glued edges Is
wound and covered with cord. Over
this another band of paper, much mar
rover, Is wound diagonally like the
bandage on wounded arm. The
cylinder is revolved while 1t is bound
with more cord, hot glue being applied
continuously. After three layers of
paper have been put In place, the
wooden cylinder Is removed and the
paper cylinder Is reinforced with q
coarse mesh.
A mixture Of cement and sand ID
squirted all over the cylinder, and
several cylinders are Joined end to
end with the same cement so as to
make a pile 60 feet long and from
IS to 80 inches in diameter. A square
steel head is fitted over the top to
receive the shocks Of the pile-driver.

RETROSPECTIVE

One year ago last Wednesday,
March %, 1921, our old friend, B. F..
Yerden, laid aside the responsibilities
of life forever and entered into rest
AS with many another friend who has
passed out through the portals that
obscure our earthly vision, we often
think of him-of the youthful and
courageous spirit that he bore in
spite of advancing years and contin-
ued infirmity, of his sane outlook on
all Of the affairs Of life and his quick
sympathy for all who were i'll or in
trouble. He was a good citizen and a
brave soldier of his country, who
bore upon his body the scars of bat
tie sustained in her defense. Peace
to his ashes.
