Brazil Neglected by
British Manufacturers

London, Dec. 16.-Brazil has been
overlooked by the British manufac-
turer, according to Sir John F..
Thornycroft, and the American tariff
is aiding American exporters in that
South American republic -.
Sir John has just returned from a
trip to Brazil, and speaks Knowingly
of the latent possibilities of the
country. Brazil is virtually as large
as Europe, and yet there are only
about Is or 16 millions of inhabi-
tants. There is an enormous wealth
in natural resources, and there are
vast areas in southern Brazil suit
able for stock-raising, where the eli
matte conditions are good for Euro
peans, and which Germans were ex-
plotting before the war. Then again,
the extent of Brazils mineral wealth
is often enirely overlooked at home.
1t has probably the richest iron de-
posts in the world, besides diamonds
and other precious stones, which ale
by no means worked out"
Sir John expressed the opinion that
"the manufacturing and engineering
industries of Great Britain are doom
ed unless we can get some sort Of
protection for our home markets, and
especially get the exchange put righ
besides removing some of the disabil-
tiles we are under as regards prefer
entail tariffs. Owing to the Ameri-
can tariff policy, the United States
succeeded in getting no fewer than 80
different classes of manufactured
goods put on preferential tariff ba-
sis for Importation into Brazil, and
this hits the British manufacturer. ;
Great Britain lost ground, Sir John
thought, by not sending a naval COM
mission to Brazil at the end of the
war. Americans, on the other hand
took the opportunity to push forward
and are now firmly established as
Brazils naval advisers, with a large
staff Of American officers.

Danish Laborers Seek
Opportunities Abroad

Copenhagen, Dec. 16.-Owing to
the industrial depression and uncm-
ployment in Denmark, an organized
emigration plan has been worked out
~ the government with Nicaragua
and Colombia under which these
countries will accept Danish lmmi-
grants and give them assistance in
settling.
Another similar agreement is pend.
ing with France, under which Den.
mark will participate in the coloni.
zation of Madagascar. Absorbing tc
the plan announced in the Danish
papers, France has made an offer to
start public works to be carried out
by Danish engineers, to undertake
forest work with Danish labor, and t.
place land ut the disposal of Danish
farmers. The Danish settlers are to
be permitted TO organize their own
schools and communities SO as to re-
ain their nationality.
4 committee Of French and Danish
experts will go TO Madagascar to in
vestigate the plan, after which the
Danish AigSdag will consider it.

Reading of Poetry Anglers
Argentine Prisone

Buenos Aires, Dec. 16.-An inmats
of the national penitentiary recently
contrived to convey to the newspaper
La Nacion a message in which be
complained bitterly of the cruelty to
which the prisoners were subjected
by the governor of the establish
ment.
A representative of La Nacion,
who went to the penitentiary to in
vestigate the charge, was sympa-
thetically received by the kindly and
gentle governor who explained that,
contrary to the reports in question,
his treatment of the prisoners was
marked by extreme consideration. 1t
was only toward the end of the inter
view, when the governor confessed
that upon occasions he read poetry
of his own composition to the pris-
oners, that the mystified reporter
was bale to guess at the origin Of the
denunciation received by his news
paper.

Spring Boom in
Building Predicted

New York, Dec. 16.-Confidence in
the outlook for an unprecedented
building boom in the spring of 1923
based on an exhaustive trade survey
conducted through 55 branch offices
in the United States and Canada, has
led executives of Johns-Manv:l.c
Inc, producers of building materiai,
to order substantial increases in the
output of the company's existing fac
tories, and to rush to early compile
ton two new plants, one at Asbestos,
p. O., Canada, and the other at Wau-
kegan, Ill.
The working forces at the COM
pany's various factories are to be in
creased shortly by Is percent, and
in order to create reserves for next
year, the production of insulating and
roofing material is to be Increased
by 26 per cent.

Gave Away a Fortune

An interesting fact is revealed in
the recent purchase by the state of
Maryland of = toll bridge over the
SuSluehanna liver at Hawai- de Grace
aoi $385,000. Twelve years ago the
Pennsylvania railroad gave away the
bridge, having supplanted it with q
new ore Automobiles ever since
have been crossing it in increasing
numbers, and the men who got it as a
gift from the railroad company divid-
eC among themselves in the IL years
S37O,OOO, the tolls charged and collect

When the new bridge made the old
enc Of doubtful use, the railroad COM
pary offered it first to the state and
then to the county, but without sue
cess. If no one accepted it, the COM
eany was confronted with the neces-
sity of removing it, which would have
been very expensive. So finally the
company changed it from a railroad
bridge to a highway bridge, and con-
,idcred itself lucky in finding a group
IF Maryland men who consented to
2ccept the structure, which originally
mad cost $2,OOO,OOO, as a gift.
The recipients put up $700 to or

Frank NJ. Jeffords. condemned to be
clectrocuted OH December %. made d
last appeal to Governor Harvey by
letter, sent by his attorney in person
Governor Harvey turned the plea for
clemency down, as he should have
done. The letter Of the condemned
man is pathetic. It, no doubt, cost
the governor great anguish to refuse.
But it often costs q man suffering to
do his duty. No one can help feeling
pity for the condemned man. But pity
cannot right the frightful murder he
committed. nor restore the murdered
man to his family In reply to JEFF
fords Governor Harvey says: 81 have
my solemn duty to perform and what
ever it costs me, would not be doing
fairly if answered otherwise" The
governor is to be commended for his
firm stand. All those who are good
citizens, men and women who are try
ing to obey the law, have no defense
whatever save the law. When the law
fails the good citizen, it is the pass
ing of the good citizens last hope.

Movement to Remedy
Nations Defective Eyesight

New York, Dec. l6.--With thn aid
of Secretary of Labor Davis, a move
ment has been started for observance
throughout the country of Eye Sight
Conservation Day in the schools.
Federal and state officials, universi-
ty professors, engineers, industrial
lists and civic leaders are cooperating
with the Eye Sight Conservation
Council of America to remedy con-
ditions of vision in classroom and
factory.
Defective vision among school
children and workers in the indus
tries has, surveys in numerous towns
and cities reveal, caused enormous
&c eonomic and physical losses, which
authorities declare, can be eliminated
Secretary Davis is in deep sympathy
with the movement, particularly with
regard to children.
II am convinced" he said recently
that mankind owes no higher duty
to society and to God than service tt
childhood, and that whatever we may
be able to do to aid the citizens Of tn,
future will earn a great reward"
Every teacher in the country, &C
cording to the Council, is a potentia
crusader for better vision. Teacher.
everywhere are being given instruc
tions for testing visual acuity. Sue
cess of the movement, according t.
its sponsors, will mean a definit,
physical advance in future genera
tions of Americans.

The Right of Self Protection

How far may members of trade
rr industry band together to protect
themselves? This question is asked
cf the courts in a proceeding institut-
e. on November by the Department
Cf ustice under the Sherman Act, af-
rccting the members Of an association
cf fur dressers and dyers. The gov
ernment alleges it is illegal for the
members to follow the rules of the
association which provide that only
cash sales arc TO be made. and no
credit is to be extended, to persons
who have failed to pay their bills aris-
ing on earlier transaction. Another
feature Of the rules, the government
gays, was a requirement that each
member should deposit $500, to be
forfeited if he made sale on credit
u any person when the association
had indicated that all sales should be
Oh a cash basis.
This case may raise interesting
questions about the extent members
OF an industry can act jointly for
their protection against predatory at
tacks. Presumably, if they beat off
gang of bandits that fourished re-
volvers and blackjacks they would not
De violating the law against restraints
If trade. People who buy merchan-
disc with no intention to pay for it
but to escape through fraudulent
bankruptcy and that sort Of thing are
Just as predatory as any other variety
of bandit who acts on the theory that
the world owes him r. living which he
il free to collect by force or fraud.
Perhaps the decision in the case will
disclose something about the extent in
which the law-abiding may act for
their self protection.-Th Nations

Uruguay Would Divide
Large Private Estate,

Motevideo, Dec. 16.-With the OBJ
ject Of forcing the sub division of the
immense landed estates in Uruguay
and at the same time to promote ag
riculture and stock breeding, tbs
Minister Of Industries, Dr.. Luis Ca
,iglia, has drafted bill to apply a
special sliding scale land tax upon all
rstates of more than 1000 hectares
5000 acres). The scale slides up
wards per thousand hectares, but ex
cmpton of the holf or the whole of
the tax is offered if the proprietors
comply with certain conditions to
make the land productive.
The measure is of special interest
to all the countries of the River
Platte in which enormous landed es-
tates, largely idle and tenaciously
held by their wealthy proprietors, are
common, and thus far legislators have
not been successful in finding const;-
tutional methods of breaking them up
for disposal to settlers and small
farmers and preventing their for
nation in the future.
The conditions for exemption pro-
posed by DR.. Caviglia are that certain
percentages of the estates be devoted
to agriculture, dairying or stock
breeding. They fix the standards OF
the stock in the case of stock breed
ing. and specify what equipment shall
be necessary.
The bill will be considered by the
National Council of Administration
before being presented to congress.

Annie Belle Croker, girl in the
fourth grade:
Christmas time is drawing near,
Christmas time will soon be here.
Santa Claus comes on Christmas
night
The boys and girls to see,
So If you are in bed before eight at
might
81. Nicholas will find you asleep all
right.
Yes, Jolly Santa Claus is he,
And drives his reindeer in the night
When his boys and girls are free.
Now, children, when you see Santa
Coming down the way Gs
just raise YOUR hats and shout for
,ela ssansssy~,nleoms SAINT to yoasand me.
Bring brother toy and sister doll
And remember the peor and all along
And bring Mr.. Rice, the editor Of The
Times
Everything he. wishes if it's only
rhymes.
This is my first poem,
So don't knock it too hard,
But remember it's only from school
girl,
And so this is the end.
