SHE WAS PLACED

Although she was past thirty, the
stenographer often tried to be coy
with the young statesmen. Occasion
ally, to get some extra work done
they took her out of evenings, and
she firted with them in return.
But the new youngsters did not
court her as the others did. The
climax came when she announced
that she was going on vacation.
'How long will you be goneY one
of them asked her.
Thinking that he had succumbed
to her charms, she dimpled back at
him. 'eTwo weeks" she answered.
"Oh," he turned to the fellows
next to him and said in mournful
tone, 'fWhat is home without a
mother ?"

sIo TELEPHONE CABLE

What is thought to be the largest
telephone cable in the world Of the
submarine sort is that opened not
long ago for messages, when direct
telephone communication was estab-
lished between Pomerania and East
Prussia over wires 100 miles long
that are laid in the Baltic. To COM
ply with the provisions of the Yer
sailles treaty, the line had to avoid
the Polish corridor to the sea. The
cable has six pairs Of telephone CON
ductors and three single lines for
telegraph messages. The lines are
insulated with paper and covered
with lead, reinforced by double
helix of steel wires. The outside
covering is a jute compound and is
protected by an armor of twenty
nine galvanized strands Of steel.

Uses to surpass all previous years,
both in America and Europe.
1t is estimated that round mil
lion, perhaps more, will take part in
some form of mountain climbing
this season. In England alone there
are 10000 members of mountain
climbing clubs. There is much ac-
tivity at present in climbing the
hills Of England and Scotland. Al
though the altitude of these hills is
not great they present interesting
problems.
The rush to the mountain resorts
of the Alps in Switzerland, France
and Italy this year has been unpre-
cedented. More than $4,000 people
win visit Zermat at the foot of Mat
terhorn with more or less serious
intention of climbing its sides.

GET MUCH FROM THE LAND
Intensive Cultivation In China Makes
Acreage Yield Superior to That
Of This Country

The annual production of corn in
all China is not far from 100000
bushels, the Department of Agricul-
ture says. Sugar production is about
100000 tons, much of which is con-
sumed raw.
The World war and the Russian
revolution played havoc with the
Chinese tea industry, destroying en-
tirely the caravan trade with Russia
and reducing total exports from an
average of about 100000, 900 pounds
to 100000 pounds in 1920 and
100000 pounds in 1921, the de-
partment's study shows.
Chinese crop yields per acre prob
ably average higher than those in
the United States, because of the
highly intensive cultivative methods
employed, it is pointed out. The
multiple crop system is also fol-
lowed over the greater part Of the
country, thus making the land pro-
duce from two to four crops a year.

FIRST PONY EXPRESS IN 1888
ealtimore Sun used That Means Of
Getting Presidents Message Be-
fore Its Competitors

The first pony express service, says
the Detroit News, was started by the
Sun of Baltimore, Nd, in 1888. To
quote Prof. James Melvin Lee, in
his History of American Journal
ISM: while other papers shared
in the honor of its development, the
pony express was really started by
the Sun of Baltimore, Nd
In December, 1888, the Sun hired
representative to bring, with the
help Of a Canadian pony as nimble as
a goat and as swift as the wind,
copy of the Presidents message to
the Sun Office ON Light street.
The Suns pony express rendered
great service to the nation during
the Mexican war. 1t inevitably car
Iied the first news to the capital.
Oct. 4, 1847, the Sun published the
following note as tribute to the
pony express: "Our pony team, as if
in anticipation of the great excite
ment prevailing in. the city on Sat-
urday evening, came flying to the
stopping post with the most thrilling
and important intelligence yet re-
ceiyed from the seat of war, full
twenty-four hours ahead of steam
boats, railroads and even tele-
graphs"

Canadians are among the richest

in banks and loan companies amount
to upwards of two billion dollars, or
$3.50 per capita. Since 1914 the as
sets of Canadian banks increased
20 per cent; total deposits increased
SO per cent; bank notes in circula-
ton increased sc per cent; the value
of field crops increased IS per cent /;
the value of industrial production
increased 1876 per cent, and popula-
