Egypt's Dense Population.

Egypt has an area of about $4,000
square miles. The bulk of the coun-
try consists of inhospitable sand and
desert. Practically the only settled
portion consists of very narrow band
Of cultivated territory on each side of
the Nile. The Nile valley and delta,
the only settled portion of Egypt, have
an area of 1926 square miles, al
most exactly one-fourth the size OF
New York state. This narrow area
contains the densest population in the
world. At the moment it should come
to approximately 100000. If New
York. state were as densely peopled
it would have nearly 600O0,00O inhab-
itants, while the United Kingdom

Chief Engineer Paul D. Sargent of
the State highway department an
nOunced Friday that the Bangor
Harbor highway is to be repaired
at once, which is good news to all
operators of motor cars, who feel
that repairs are better late than
never.
This highway, which is one of the
most travelled in the State, has been
rougher than usual this summer,
and has been the subject of much
unfavorable comment, especially on
the part of tourists.
Chief Engineer Sargent believes
that a gravel highway is not capable
of standing up under such traffic de-
mands as are put upon the Bangor
Bar Harbor road, but whether or
not some other form of construction
will be substituted at some future
date he did not say. His plan to
have the holes in the highway filled
with gravel, and follow up the work
by frequent dragging, will help
some.

Little Interest In the Phone.

When the telephone was struggling
for recognition 40 years ago 1t was
the idea of Alexander Bell to popular
lie the instrument by showing 1t at
public gatherings and incidentally, in
this manner, to gather some coin to
help defray the great expense which
he was put to in the development Of
the instrument. Mrs. w. J. Coyle, now
of Floral Park, Long Island, was liv-
ing in Baltimore, Md, at that time and
was engaged in preparing for a char
ity fair when she was approached by
a friend who was also interested In
the fair and he brought with him the
inventor of the telephone who ex-
planned his scheme. The idea was to-
install instruments at the fair and at
the Masonic temple a few squares
away and to make a charge of ten
cents at either end for the experience
of conversing over the wire The in
strument created little interest and
the proceeds were barely worth while

The Forty-Ei9ht Hour Week.
(Lewistou Journal.)


On October Is we are to vote on
proposal to make the legal working
hour week for women forty-eigh
hours a week and no more, thus set
ting our little State up as the third
-eight-hour state in the United
States. If a woman works more
than forty-eight hours week UNI
der this law Of it should pass she
is guilty of misdemeanor and so is
the company employing her
Woman's rights to life and liberty
and the pursuit of happiness through
work, are thus set and fixed by law
She may vote, but she may not work
if she desires over the forty-eight
hours so prescribed.
This law, if enacted, would pre-
scribe also the same hours of work
for men in these factories. 1t would
be either one of two things-no
women would be employed or else
the factory must run but forty eight
hours a week, while the southern
operative works sixty hours week
if she pleases. The advocates of the
fortyeight hour law freely say that
this law is intended to reach men
also. But under it, man may work
any number of hours that he pleases.
He may work twenty-four hours
day if he likes, charging Overtime"
at the rate agreed on.
But women and minors may not
have overtime. They shall not
work over the forty-eight hours. If
the plant cannot run with this
handicap on women workers, women
must be discharged or the plant
must close, if it cannot run without
women. In laundries, hotels, drug
stores and various factories in the
District of Columbia, where there is
y-eighthour law for women,
the women have been discharged
and replaced by men. 1t may be
said that their freedom to work has
been curtailed to this extent.

GASOLINE TAX STANDS.
Supreme Court of Maine Says Law
is Constitutional.
The full bench of the supreme

The full bench of the supreme
judicial court, in unanimous
opinion, declares the law passed by
the last legislature, placing a tax of
one cent a gallon on gasoline as an
excise tax is constitutional. The
opinion was rendered at the request
of the legislature.
IF property tax, it obviously Of
tends the constitution of Maine,"
says the decision, "to single out any
particular species of property or any
particular commodity, gasoline, in
ternal combustion fuel or what not
and impose a property tax on it un-
equal in comparison with the other
commodities would be void The
equal apportionment and assessment
On all real and personal estate re-
CURED by our organic law would be
violated. This proposition is too
HAN ioT discussion.
I. however, the proposed tax is
an excise tax, then it would be au-
thori2ed and valid. The vital words
Of this urorounded question are a
reasonable tax or charge per gallon
uGOn all gasoline, ETC., sold within
the State, in other words, it is not
It e value OF the gasoline and fuel as
property owned which is the subject
OF taxation, but the sale OF and deal
ing in the article whatever its value
The tax is measured not by the
worth of the commodities, but by the
amount of business transacted in
dealing with them computed on gal
Ions, and this fits the definition of an
excise tax which is a tax imposed on
the performance of an act, the en-
gaging in an occupation or the
privilege"
