SHIPPING COSTS IN 1892.

Herr Feldhaus, a German stats
tician, delving into original records
of the voyages of Christopher Co
lumbus, finds that the cost of dis
covering America was $3.50.
Americans will agree that it was
worth ito them and their an
cestors, if not to the explorer him
self and the queen who furnished
the expense money.
The figures will doubtless have
a peculiar appeal to the United
States shipping Board, inasmuch as
that body, in spite of drastic efforts
to economi2e, is still losing money
at the rate of $4,000, 600 a year.
If ships could only be operated now
as cheaply as they could -four cen
turtles ago.!
Columbus himself drew the NUM-
ficent salary of $500 a year, and
his sailors got $29.25 a year.
If expenses mount up at the same
rate hereafter, what untold millions
will it take to operate ocean liners
400 years hence?

THE O A

What is expected to be the most
perfect piece of road in existence is
soon to be constructed on the out
skirts of London. Altogether it will
be six miles long. The details should
be interesting everywhere, in this
bodybuilding +
The road is to be $50 feet wide
from fence to fence. For the pres
ent, along most of the route, the
space for wheeled vehicles is being
made so feet wide, with a margin of
turf and a ten-foot footpath on each
side. AS the traffic requires, the
paved strip for vehicles is to be
widened. First the dirt bottom is
leveled aud rolled hard. Then there
is spread a foundation of broken
stone, with ashes to fill the inter
%stices, to, saAdepth of II inches, roll
ed hard. en- top of this is a nine
inch stratum of strongly enforced
concrete, and on the concrete, a two
inch carpet of natural rock asphalt
The experts say that such a road
should last SO years with little need
of repair. Part of it is laid ovel
the remains of an old Roman road
which lasted for many centuries.
Once made, the solid paving will
not be broken up, to put in gas OF
water mains. Provision for every
thing of that sort is made before
hand, and wherever pipes of any
kind have to cross the roadway they
will be carried in subways. Here
is an example that might well be
followed by American road-builders

THE DAIRY cow.

The dairy cow is the greatest
producer of food values in the
country today. Neither wheat noI
cotton nor corn equal in value what
she creates, and it is worth remem-
bering that the years production
of a single well-bred animal is
worth more than the whole carcases
of five 1,000-pound beef steers.
Last year the American dairy COW
produced almost 80, 600, 000,0 00
pounds Of milk, worth $2,500, 000,-
600, and milk is only a raw ma
terial. When we consider butter,
cheese, condensed, matted and pow
dered milk, ice cream, chocolate and
half a hundred less important by
products, the value of milk in dol
lars and in the industries of which
it is the basis becomes apparent.
But we are talking of well-bred
cows, and it is only too true that
there are millions of scrubs on
American farms which are hardly
worth their keep when milk and
meat and hide and hoofs have all
been counted. 1t is because of this
that the government of the United
States has called a conference OF

drawal of men from employment in
the railway service, if the railway
executives sincerely desire to avoid
this consequence of their previous
course of action"
For the reason" the telegram
said, in behalf of and by the au-
thority of the Executive Council Of
the Railway Employees Department,
I am informing you and through
you informing the responsible heads
of the various railway systems in
the United States and also the
Pullman Company, most of which
are presented in the Association of
Railway Executives, that unless an
immediate arrangement can be
made:
"(1) To continue the payment
of wages at present in force.
"(2) To restore operation under
rules 6, 10, u, IA, Is, 46 and
1T, as they existed prior to the
amendment thereof proposed in deci-
sion %; and, go to discontinue
the contracting out of work and
shops, pending negotiations between
the Association of Railway EXecu-
tives and the Railway Employees De-
partment looking toward adjustment
of the existing disputes on these
questions, a sanction of withdrawal
from employment ON July J., 1922,
as voted by the employees, will be
unavoidable"
Three points on which the Ex-
ocutives are asked to meet the en-
ployes' demands are identical with
the three questions on which the
unions now are completing their
strike ballot.
The first ballot covers the 500
600 600 wage cut ordered by the
board, effective July /. The second
ballot involves seven rules regard
ing overtime and property scale

the men because they wiped out

A JURY SYSTEM DEFECT.

Accelerated case in Chicago calls
attention to an admitted defect in
the American jury system. The
half-million-dollar snit of Mayor
Thompson against the Chicago Trib-
pne was thrown u of court after
: seven weeks trial because two
Jurors became physically incapable
az d~ischarging their duty.
It would be legal enough to have
the. case decided by 10 jurors, pro
vided both parties agreed. Mayor
Thompson's counsel, however, after
agreeing to II jurors, objected when
the second juror dropped out. So
the trial has to start all over again,
and without any assurance that the
same trouble will not occur.
1t is pointed out that a plan
adopted in California gives at least
partial insurance against such a
fiasco. For every trial 1S jurors
are chosen, and all of them hear
the evidence. Then, if n becomes
incapacitated, there are IL left
to decide the case. For more ade-
quate insurance in big eases, there
might be two extra jurors.
Another possible remedy would
Be the adoption of the majority prin-
cipIe in jury verdicts, SO that a
valid verdict might be rendered by
five-sixths, three-fourths or some
other fraction of the usual number
The importance of n or we Jurors
then would be SO greatly reduced as
to make their absence of little conse-
Quence. This majority principle has
made considerable Roadway already,

states.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 2S.-The railroads today moved
to place the shop workers under a contract system to
meet the strike of more than a million workers on July L.
A walkout, the railroad leaders believe, will give them
the opportunity they have long sought to place their shop
work with contractors.
This action is opposed by the United States Railroad
Labor Board but the railroad executives claim that
the men by striking will violate the boards ruling
first and that in order to meet the situation, the railroads
been learned on good authority that the union leaders
would meet half way any concession granted by the
railroad executives. The general impression prevailing,
however, is that the roads would refuse to comply with
anv demands that might be made. The union leaders
are awaiting the reply to the strike ultimatum sent by

H PREDICTED FAMINE.

THE PREDICTED FAMINE.
Sir William Beveridge of Eng
land, who computes weather condi-
tions over long periods, says that
if his figures are correct, 1923 will
be a year of terrific floods and
famine. 1t seems that there are
four different weather cycles affect
ing crops, and all these combine in
a maximum unfavorable phase in
dicating heavy and harmful deluges
Tin northern Europe, in n case)
during the period from February to
September, 1929 The conditions
on which this prediction is based
over 500 years.
The Able Moreux, of the Bourges
Astronomical observatory, and Bruck-
ner, the Swiss meteorological, pilot
sun-spot periods on to general eli
matte conditions OF the temperate
regions and discover II years of dry
weather followed by II years of
wetness." The results worked out
by these two experts apply to "a
American stations, together with the
British Isles, Belgium and France.
The Able Moreux does not say
that 1928 itself will be either dry
or wet, but what he does insist upon
is that lat the end of 1885, the
total rainfall for the preceding II
years will be greatly lower than for
the years of the wet cycle from 1901
to 1913"
Various other meteorological ex-
perts agree to some extent with
these prophecies, although Sir Will
liam Beveridge, with his four cycles
OF temperature, rainfall and ne
neurological and astronomical data,
all pointing wetly to 1928, is the
one who feels most sure of next
years floods.
However one may feel personally
famines or anything else, a little
thrift in this veal of plenty might
not be a bad thing. With the
barns and cellars null of staples, with
neat rows of cans and jars on the
shelves, and with the figures in the
old bank book running a little high
err than they ever were before, one
can await disasters with consider
able peace of mind.
Observing that the A. F.. of l..
has unanimously rejected the lone

perts estimate that when New York
has $4,000, 900 population, the deaths
from highway accidents will amount
to 10000 a year. It's a narrowing
thing to contemplate; but would
anybody foolish enough to live in
a city of $4,000, 900 people deserve
any better fate than being run over?

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE.

The Federation OF Labor is going
to n an amendment to the
United States Constitution guaran-
teeing to labor the right to strike
Such an amendment might pos
sibly be adopted, If it were suff1-
GENTLY urged. There a be a
pretty good argument put up for it,
by union labor, as long as employers
are able to order a lockout or de-
l~iberately provoke a strike. In strict
fairness, it must be admitted that
one right implies the other, in a
tree country, and if there Is any
doubt about the legality of x els
Ing one while the other is .termlt-
ted. that doubt should be removed.
When the proposal comes up for
discussion, however, any Impartial
citizen is likely to inquire why, in
the present state of society, when
industrial peace is SO essential to
orderly progress, either capital or
labor should be permitted to inter
fere with normal operations.
Sooner or later, instead of guar
anteeing to each side the equal
right to make var on the other,
society as a whole is going to forbid
industrial altogether. 1t may
