'L0NDON'S WINE VAULTS
COVERING MANY ACRES
"a Miles of Gansway Run Between
Places Where Drink is Stored,
Complied Statistics Show

London, Feb. 14.-London has beer
keeping official records of many oil
its activities for so many generations
that today, it is possible with a little
imagination and enterprise, to bring
together interesting statistics compar-
ing the big, modern city of the pres
ent time to the London of the days
of Queen Anne, when coaches and
chairs were the popular means of con-
veyance.
In 1900 the foreign trade which
passed through the port of London
amounted to 100000 pounds sterl-
ing; in 1922 it was over 1000, 1000, 900,
according to Sir Joseph Broodbank,
here on the rise of the city as one of
the great ports of the world.
He mentioned an interesting fact
concerning the type of Dutch eel boats
which have been anchored off the
Customs House since the days of
Queen Elizabeth. These boats had
been granted certain privileges and
were similar to the first ones used,
but in the near future they are to
be replaced by motor vessels.
Among some curious facts Sir JOS
eph mentioned that the river Thames,
which carried twenty million tons of
commerce every year, could not af-
ford to run steamers to carry pas
sengers. In former days wool was the
largest export from the port. Now
wool is its largest import, about 700,-
900 bales passing through the ware
houses every year.
An idea of the size of the London
wine vaults is conveyed by the fact
that there are "a miles of gangway
running through them. Millwall, the
largest granary in the port, with ca
pacity of $4,000 tons, only holds
enough grain to make London's bread
for one week.

MAY isolate CASES
OF WHOOP|NG Cough
Board Of Health Sees Need Of Ad-
ditiOnal PreCaution in Public

New Britain children afflicted with
whooping cough, may be isolated

to the board of health last evening by
DR.. Gertrude J. Kinsella are adopted.
DIR. Kinsella proposed action to safe
guard the health of others by isolat-
ing cases of whooping cough that the
danger of its spreading is minimized.
She reported that she has seen
children on Main street coughing so
hard their parents were obliged to
hold them up, while other children
were close enough to catch the in
lection. She reported that children
with whooping cought are barred
from the schools but are permitted to
mingle indiscriminately with other
children on the street. In, some
places she said children with whoop-
ing cough are required to wear bano
en- their arms as a warning to others
to observe precautions. She said as
mother, as well as physician that
she breads whooping cough worse
than the measles.
DR.. Henry I. Bray, chairman of the
beard, agreed that some steps were
necessary to prevent the spread of the
disease, but he said it is difficult to
stop it because there is no way to as
certain who the patients are and doc
tors do not report their cases.
The matter was left in the hands
of DR.. Fred P. Lee, who will make
further Investigations.

FLING NOT PAYING
Is Popular But Not Profitable As A
Means of Commercial Travelling
London Reports.

London Reports.
London, Feb. 14.-The popularity OF
flying as a method of commercial
travel may be judged by the fact
that 12,S2S passengers arrived and
departed from the Croydon Aero
drome, during the year 1922. To
carry this number of passengers 4,193
flights were made.
Flying, nevertheless, is not yet a
paying business for the airplane COM
panies. The government allows them
subsidies which cover their actual
losses.
In the future all airplanes flying
over England at night will carry
white rear lights on each wing tip
and on the tail. This is new regu-
lation of the air ministry.
The ministry is about to establish
a permanent gliding station at Itford
Hill, where the gliding contests were
held last October. Sheds and work.

ton will be utilized not only by the

FREE ORCHESTRA CONCERTS

Worthwhile benefits are promised from the twelve orchestral concerts Ito be given on Sunday afternoons in the Masonic Temple auditorium by the municipal musical department. These concerts will be open to the public. Thus thousands of lovers of music will be offered this free enter tainment, while the helpful effects will be community-wide.
 There is hope that this project may develop into a successful plan for lmunicipal music during the summer lsmonths. There are thousands of resi- dents who are hungry for good music, but who are financially unable to pay large admission fees to hear artists who are brought here from time to time. Many cities much smaller than Birmingham, and no more able finan- atally to provide free concerts, have fsfsualized the community benefits from Ihis source, and have established open-aid musical entertainment from three to six evenings of the week, while larger cities with park music every evening have learned from years of experience that it is practical in Nestment' because of it's improvement of the public health, and from its orderly influence.
 Municipal open-air concerts and park music, are regarded by the larger cities as necessities, rather than luxuries, for their cultural stimulus and their eff fleets in developing community content ment. There is no city of this size in the country where the need for mu- nicipal music is more pressing and where the field for development is so large and promising. Birmingham's municipal authorities might we'll give further official attention to this means of making city life more attractive and of improving it's standards of citizen ship.

fundamental reason for this rise in price quite unconnected with the or dinary ups and downs of the market. Fluctuations are partly due to varia- tions in offerings and partly to ma nipulation, but the present steady climb has been justified by the poten- tial cotton shortage. Last years sur plus has been reduced, and the pres ent crop, in the face of strong de- mand, will perhaps contribute nothing to the years carryover. Thus is laid the predicate for the operation of one of the basic economic laws as affect ing prices, namely, that of supply and demand. This law cannot easily be set aside. It may be possible, through manipulation of supplies, to keep the price up during periods of high pro- duction, but it is impossible in the face of shortages to keep the price at the lower levels.
 Under the system of cooperative marketing, those farmers who belong to such organizations are enjoying the benefit of the increased price in direct ratio with the amount they have in warehouse. Those farmers who sold their cotton last fall independently are not enjoying any benefit from the rise in price. Instead, those who bought the crop of the independent farmers are enjoying the profit that should have gone to the producer. This fact should cause the farmers generally to do some deep thinking, figuring and joining up. With CO., operative marketing and warehousing, the price will never be depressed sud denly because of dumping, nor will the farmer forfeit later price increases because of necessity of cashing in at harvest time. The farmer who has his crop in cooperative storage can re- ceive advances on his cotton without losing title to it. Therein lies the ad- vantage of cooperative management of the farmers business.

CAROLINA'S GREAT
 HIGHWAY PROJECT
[Houston Post)

North Carolina, having beaten all the states to a complete hard surfaced road system, by connect ing all it's 100 county seats, has not finished it's program of high way progress. It now proposes to make it's road system still more attractive by beautifying the bor- ders of it's highways. A large state organization has been formed to promote this wonderful program. Engineers, foresters and landscape gardeners have been employed and plans made to plant trees, shrub bery and Towering plants all along those concrete roads, group ing them in small parks at suit able places in order to appeal to the aesthetic sensibilities of the motorist."
 In round numbers. the area of North Carolina is 52,000 square miles, and, taken as a whole, # would be difficult to find so beau tiful landscape of similar area anywhere else in the world. It is a heavily timbered region. There was no open country there when the first white settlers came. All of the Carolina farms were forest land, and they tell of the plodding industry of the axmen of the Sev- enteenth and Eighteenth centuries. Even despite the scars the lumber jacks have left upon the states surface, the Old North State is a vista of surpassing natural beauty and is a joy to the motorists who travel over it's hard-surfaeed high ways.
 But to line those highways with shrubbery and flowers, and to plant trees where the landscape has been denuded, with park sys- tems at eligible points, is a con- ception that is bound to evoke unl- versal admiration of Carolina progress and idealism.
 The encouraging part of 1t is, the people of North Carolina them- selves are enthusiastic about it. With the building of the roads tens of thousands of motorists are visiting the state and the roads have been the means of placing much outside money in circulation there. This new appeal to the aesthetic sensibilities" of the mo- torists will be irresistible and like wise profitable.

THE COMMUNITY CHEST

anneal to common sense and proper spirit of humanity as does practlcal charity. The community chest drive begins today. It is organized and fos- tered by pubhc-spirfted men and women. There are in every large community a number of organizations which are doing noble, unselfish and efficient work to help the afflicted, the unfortunate, the needy, and to alleviate human suffering arising from no direct fault of those bearing the burdens. The sick, the helpless, the little orphans drifting as best they can and dependent on charity until they become self-supporting-in a word, the victims of misfortune-call strongly, even in their silence, for help from their more fortunate fellow creatures.
 The community chest as workable system for providing charity in such way as to accomplish the most good has proved successful in other cities, not only as respects direct results, but in economy of time for those who so- licit and those who donate funds, in discouraging and reducing irresponsi- bIe and unworthy appeals for aid, and in putting the administration of char ity on stable, efficient, economical and effective basis. It pools all the worthy causes asking for help, estab- fishes a budget, and is directed by ex- perienced and capable administrators under the smallest expense. It weeds out the unworthy and irresponsible, and thus saves contributors the danger of doing harm, instead of good. When a citizen, firm or interest makes years contribution to this cause, they are justified in feeling relieved from responding to various and sundry ap- peals whose merits they have neither time nor facilities to investigate, but gan properly refer applicants for aid to the community chest administration with the assurance that the cases will be considered and such help as circum- stances justify provided.
 In short, the community chest sys- tenn puts public charity on an organ szed, practical, and even humane basis whereby the largest good may be &C., complished with the smallest cost. It is the economic way to take care of those cases which are founded on merit. The amount determined on to be raised for the years work is small as compared with this great, prosper ous, rich city's capacity to give, and as even less than is given indiscrimi- nately. The cause is highly commend able, the purpose altogether worthy, ithe needs pressing, the plan practical. Birmingham has big heart, large purse, and has never failed to respond to any program which was shown to be justified by conditions and founded on the spirit of humanity. The com Imunity chest drive is the most meri- torious charity call ever made on the people of this district.

BUILDING IN SOUTH
fco,umbus Industrial Index)

Columbus Industrial inoeX)
 The extent of building in the South varies in accordance with local conditions and some commu- mites and sections report con- siderable heavier volume of con- struction than others, but the showing for the South as whole is splendid.
 A survey of building in Southern cities and towns shows that the lead over 1922 is still maintained. notwithstanding the falling off m certain leading cities. Many of the smaller cities and towns re- port an increase in construction over the corresponding months of 1922. and this more than levels the record.
 Generally speaking, it is well for building not to be too hlghiy concentrated, for the more widely it is distributed, the greater bene- fits it confers. And, too, 1t IS a healthy sign, for it indicates more uniform development.
 The fact that Southern building holds up well and not only dupll- cates last years fine record, but so far exceeds it is doubly grati- lying; not only because of the vol ume of construction, but because there is a better distribution of it, as indicated in the latest compila- tion of construction statistics for the South.

pathetic movements shows how little of principle and how much of shifting local interest there is in the tariff. Either we must have policy of high tariff or a policy of low tariff appli- cable in a uniform manner without regard to section or commodity. AL though a high tariff is not easily de- fensible in principle, the unfairness with which schedules are applied makes it far less so.
 Taking calcium arsenate as ex- ample, one finds that, while the far mers want it admitted free, the Amer ican producers of arsenate have suc- ceeded in establishing a tariff wall behind which they may manipulate their prices without respect to outside competition. It is therefore a war between the producers of cotton and the producers of arsenate. Or, in another view, war between the con- sumers of arsenate and the consumers of cotton. In the same manner, while the producers of American vegetable oil ask high duty, the importers of foreign oils want no duty. It is a question in the long run, not of justice to the nation in general, but of su- perior strategy and influence as be- tween the importers and the American producers of vegetable oils.
 There is needed the sort of national statesmanship that will discover and apply the fundamentals to the tariff, so that the cause of revenues will be satisfied and the war between the va rious groups within our boundaries will be adjusted in an equitable man ner. Inthe long run, the question of the public welfare as affected by the tariff must be considered and served.

WATERWAYS AND
 THE MIDDLE WEST
CKansas City Star)

The waterway program as now formulated for the Middle west gives this part of the country, Tor tbe first time in it's history, de1- mite and comprehensive objective. For years the section has been talking waterways, often to little purpose. Meanwhile the rivers have remained idle, their potentlal transportati counting for nttie or nothing. The failure can De checked up in part to lack or q definite<policy in congress, but the fundamental trouble has been iack of unified and determined effort' with a definite, feasible program. on the part of the people or the region thems mselves--manufa merchants, farmefs and business and civic agencies. Whenever all these bestir themselves properly results may be expected from con- gress and not before.'
 The opportunity now is present. ed for action. The waterway de- velopment program given enthu- siastic indorsement by the Missls- sippi Valley Association in it's meeting at Memphis commands general support. The program calls for completion of all projects on the Missouri, Mississippi, the Ohio and the Illinois rivers within the next five years. It calls TOT a carrying out of recommendations of government engineers as to de- yelopment of these streams.
 Leaders in congress from the Middle West declare there is a fair chance for the program in the next session of congress. But these leaders need support from home in the fight they will have to make for nothing but plain jus tice to an extensive and neglected area of the country! If all mem bers of congress from the region that would be directly benefited from the improvement would stand together there would be certain ty of success.
 Fortunately there are represen- tatives in congress who are be- ginning to see that the welfare of the chief food producing region of the country, of the region that contains most of the basic re- sources of the United States, is, m fact, the welfare of the entire na- tion. These members, who appar- ently are beginning to see beyond the boundaries of their own states and districts, may be depended upon to help, but the primary re- ouirement is that those who are most directly in need of help shall help themselves.
