The scientists say that the boy may actually have been

shaped like horseshoe, running up the back of one
and down the back of the other Ii was this spinal
column that united them and that made it impossible
for to be separated from her sister when the sister
died
The statement of the scientists is that the two women
really made up only ONE human body, having but one
backbone. The same nervous energy, the control
of blood supply, took care Of the two and Of
the unborn child.

legislature dissolved and a hand

and supported on our bayoncts.
They cried "Shame!' at the in

Reason Wants Company
BY =. T.. kISER.

WHEN you're all alone in a house, at night,
w Where lately some one, perhaps, has died,
You begin to wonder if all is right
On the mystical psychic, perplexing side;
You hear ticking behind the stair,
And you think it is caused by a settling sill;
And there are taps repeated somewhere,
But then you keep on reading, or trying to,
still.
VOU say to yourself, as YOU sit alone,
L That only the foolish have foolish fears;
You are not child; you're man, full grown,
And you claim the wisdom that comes with
years!
Let those who are frightened by old wives
Believe that spirits may lurk and look;
You turn a page, but your fancy fails
To be ccntered firmly upon the book.
WASN'T that a step on the attic floor?
w Hark! The ticking continues yet!
Strange that it never was heard before
Oh, WELL it's nothing; read on, forget;
But there's that tapping again-tap-tap-
As clear as ever such taps were heard
Come. pull yourself together, old chap
Don't you know your quaking is most
absurd?
YOU'RE big, strong man, with strong
l. mans mind;
You think for yourself, and worldly
wise;
Tick, tick; tap, tap--turn, look behind
Why, what is causing your hair to rise?
How silly it seems for grown-up men
To believe that spirits, in broad daylight,
May be lowering near; but it's different when
You are alone in house, at night.

OHIPS are the deIiveSy wagons
~ of international n. :. Unless
~ we have an Ameri~in mer-
chant marine we shall be de
pendent upon foreign delivery
wagons-the .ips of Britain and
Japan-for serving our oversee
customers.
Now, Great Britain had no oh
lection 10 CARRYING our 90 s
when we were exporting oil and
cotton and grain and flour. These
things did not compete with her
products. But it is different to
day, when we are exporting steel
and textile and leather goods.
Once let the British merchant
marine get a stranglehold on our
oversee trade, and watch exports
of such goods get chOked off.
Why, the British lines already
have tried it. There is rate
agreement affecting ocean rates
to the Caribbean, American and
British lines being members of
the conference or agreement.
There are identical rates from
London and New York. though
the distance from London is in
comparably longer.
Rates have been quoted on a
basis of the ton of 2,24O pounds
Recently the London lines tried
to have the conference change the
American rates to short ton
basis. 1000 pounds. Our manu-
facturers would then he paving
for 1000 pounds the same as the
Britisher for 2.240 pounds, an
increase of II per cent in our
rates. 1t was the presence in the
conference of the Government
owned Panama Steamship Com
pany that prevented the steal.
Those who think that our eX-
port interests arc safely intrusted
70 British delivery wagons are
flying in the face of experience
and human nature.
There is nothing that Great
Britain today so bitterly needs as
an expansion of her export trade.
There is nothing she so desires as
that we shall let our own ships
rot and deliver our export trade
into the hands of her transporta-
ton agencies.

Export Routes to the Sea.

IN May | the State Barge
III Canal opened waterway
~ from Buffalo to the Hudson
constructed by New York State at
a cost of $l67,OOO,0OO.
Commercial interests are urging
shippers to make more intensive
use of the waterway. 1t offers
savings in freight rates not only
for barge loads of coarse freight,
but also for package freight. both
eastbound and westbound, car
ried by regular lines on the canal
in connection with the Lake lines
and the Western railroads. SHIP
BY CANAL.
But the main function of the
Barge Canal is not being per-
formed. 1t was built to produce
grain rates from Buffalo to the
seaboard so cheap that the export
cereals from our West and Canada
would flood through this port.
Last year the canal carried
100000 bushels of grain to New
York. Montreal received 5O,OOO,-
600 bushels brought down from
Buffalo through the small Cana

Ship Canal whose construction
from the Great Lakes to the sea
is being urged by the Middle

TctOrs and
SpOils
MILITARY supremacy today
is not a matter of men, but
- .f TONS of o,,po

s'o of tonnage-tons of guns
and shells. Germany beat
the allies because her steel in
dustry outweighed theirs. We
heat Germany because our steel
industry outweighed hers.
France learned the lesson. She
wants industrial and military su-
premacy in Europe. She will
have it undisputed if she gets pos
session of the other half of the
German steel industry. She has
half already. She has Lorraine.
She wants the Ruhr.
England is determined that
France shall not have the Ruhr.
1t suits England to have the Ger
man steel industry cut in two, but
not to have the two halves re-
united by France!
That is what is behind the con-
flict developing between Lloyd
George and Poincare with respect
to Poincare's threat to occupy the
Ruhr district on May 81. when
Germany fails to meet the i'm
possible reparations conditions
and payments then due.
Lorraine held the iron mines of
Germany, corresponding with our
Lake Superior ore beds. The
Ruhr-whOse center is Fssen-
has the best coking coal in west
ern Europe; it is the Pittsburgh OF
that continent. Imagine the in
dustrial power Canada wocld Sc
cure if she could annex tn" Lake
Superior ore beds. the Pittsburgh
coal district and the Great Lakes
route that carries coal and ore
between the two.
Just what France intends. She
has taken the German ore fields.
She proposes to take the Ruhr
coal district and everything be
tween the two, including the
double track industrial railroad
,up the Moselle valley built to
carry coke to Lorraine and bring
ore back to the Ruhr-Gcrman
blast furnaces and rolling mills
being split up between the two
districts. When the process is
completed, France will hav" a ca
pacity for steel production far
ahead of Great Britain, and little
behind the United States
"To the victors belong the
spoils," the old watchword of i'm
pcrialistic aggression.
Interesting. But miles and miles
removed from those idealistic
aims whose phantoms lur"d us
into the war.
