ample basis for a susta' I'D of
prosperity. Charles =. Mitchell, pres
ident of the National City Bank, de-
clared in statement today.
"The country has a great many
needs to be satisfied. We have not
yet made up the deficit in construc-
ton caused by the war. If our pros
perity is short-lived, it will be be-
cause we tried to ride it too hard.
I'VE want stable business, stable
PRICES, steady production and regular
employment instead of booms and
depressions. Just now labor is fully
employed. Industries are producing
at the highest rate, and the traffic
of railroads in the first quarter has
been the greatest ever known and
trade reports from all quarters are
excellent. We are doing all we can
and additional pressure would be
harmful rather than beneficial. The
danger in this situation is not finan-
cial but Industrial too rapid in
crease Of industrial costs"

SAvANT MEETS TR0GLsDYTEs
Strange Slack Race Visited In DUG.
out Caves of African
Arabland.

Horace D. Ashton, member Of
the Explorers club OF New York,
has returned after travelling in a
camel caravan through southern AL
glers into the land where the ma
tiyes are known as Troglodytes. In
this section of the world, where the
white man rarely penetrates, are
from 100000 to 100000 black peo-
pie, he said, with features strangely
akin to the Arab.
They live in dugouts in the cliffs
and gain their sustenance from
crude grain farming and the meat
of goats and lambs. He declared
that he discovered sheik in Durst
who manifested an extreme fond
ness for tin cans for decorative pur-
poses.
Among them were q number of
tins that had been imported from
the United States and still bore the
labels placed thereon by American
Gamers, says the New York Sun

ran to sea, served on board ship for
long time, and, just escaping with
his life, swan to desert island. No
rescue arriving, he began to aban-
don hope, when at last a ship hove
in sight and took him on board. He
became a ringleader In a successful
mutiny. He was arrested and tried,
condemned to death, and led off to
execution; but at the eleventh hour,
when the moose was round his neck,
and he was expecting death at any
moment, he awoke with a start, and
heard-the last of the twelve strokes

CHANGE IN TYpEwRITERs

A noteworthy change in the Ar
genuine market for typswriters is
the almost complete elimination of
those of German origin. The Con-
tinsntsl machine is still imported,
but only in small quantities as conf
pared with the number of machines
Of this make which were formerly
szpught into Argsntins. Thus, for
all practical purposes, the American
typewriter does not, except in iso-
