Lacking success in this endeavor, he will be

Congress result merely in a stalemate, with
nothing done, but with an evident growth OF
disintegration and lack of control in the
party, his success will be rendered CORE
spondingly unlikely. Viewed from another

Q. Please give some information about the
Sailors Snug Harbor on Staten Island H.
w. Y.
A. Sailors Snug Harbor, the home for old
and disabled seamen, was planned by Captain
Thomas Randall and founded by his son,
Robert Richard Randall. He beQueathed his
farm, known as Mimic farm, lying just south
of Union Square, Manhattan, for the pur-
pose. The will was prepared by Alexander
Hamilton and Daniel d. Thompkins, and
Governor Dewitt Clinton helped to secure
the charter. The home was founded in 1901,
though the cornerstone was not laid until
1881; the first building was opened in 1888.
@. How many years before Christ did King
Solomon reign? S. L. G.
A. The exact date OF the birth and death
of Solomon is controversial subject. He
was born between 1893 and 1893 B. G. and
died between $50 and 800 B. C. He ascend
ed the throne probably between twelve and
fourteen years of age and reigned forty
years.
@. Where are the highest waterfalls in the
world? M. NJ.
A. Victoria Falls, on the Zambesi river, in
RhOdesia, South Africa, are the highest falls
in the world. They fall from a height of
over 400 feet. Livingstone, the great Afri-
can explorer, was the first European to see
these falls, which he discovered in 1855 The
Grands Falls in Labrador are probly the
highest falls in North America. They drop
from height of about 1925 feet.

Her Vocation

IA m AKING home and bringing up n
ME family is not a one hundred per cent
Job for woman, says a noted novel
list. And the novelist is a woman; woman,
unfortunately, who has fallen into the error
of believing that the making of a home and
the bringing up of family is a woman's
avocation, rather than her vocation; and
that, before the life of the family, there
comes first the woman's own life.
Avocaton is a strange word to apply to
motherhood and wifehood; to apply to those
relationships on which is builded not only
the life of the individual, but the life of a
nation.
Perhaps this is the cause of the discomfort
of the women in the home-those who have
no typewriter, no boss, no secretary, They
have been made to think, by just such
thoughtless expressions as that of the woman
novelist, that the work they are doing is
not the work which should be of primary
importance, but is, rather, the secondary
duty of the emancipated woman.
How foolish such belief really appears is
manifest at once when one considers single
home which is made up of more than cleo
trical coasters and sweepers. When such a
home, a real home, is considered, how in
significant seems all the other duties of the
world in comparison to the accomplishment
of that woman who has made the home!
And where, in the professions, in the Of
fees or factories or stores is there any job
comparable to that undertaken by the woman
who is the center of her home, and about
whom the life Of a real family radates?

UNPRECEDENTED growth has marked
| the operations of the Panama canal
during the last fiscal year, both in tom
mage and in tolls. According to the report
of Governor Morrow, issued this week, the
net tonnage increased from eleven million
four hundred and seventeen thousand tons
in the twelvemonth ended June 80, 1922, to
eighteen million six hundred and five thou
sand in the corresponding period which
closed last June; while tolls mounted from
eleven million one hundred and ninety-seven
thousand dollars to seventeen million five
hundred and eight thousand. The net income
from transit revenue exceeded ten million
dollars, compared with about three million
four hundred thousand for the year preced-
Guiding the Panama railroad amounted to a
million one hundred and forty thousand
Profits from the canal thus totaled twelve
million sixty-three thousand dollars All
things considered, this is surprisingly. good
return the four hundred milIion-doIlar
cost of construction and fertilization.
Ones first inference from the figures
would be that international commerce, in so
far as it moves through the Panama water
way, had undergone a remarkable expan-
sion. But the phenomenal increase is set
down to another circumstance-to the devel-
opment of oil fields in Southern California,
which has taken Mexico's place as the chief
source Of supply for the eastern seaboard of
the United States. 1.-The movement of Cali
fornia oil through the canal" says the re-
port, "began in October, 1922, and has in
creased with each subsequent month until at
the close Of the year (June 80, 1929 oil Is
furnishing sixty per cent of the eastbound
cargo, and tanker tonnage in either direction
is approximately as great as all other COM
mercia1 tonnage combined"
This outstanding traffic, however should
not be'thought of as minimizing the canals
usefulness in other directions. It's service to
world shipping is substantially; its value to
America, beyond measure; and its justifica-
ton Of the faith Of It's builders ever multi

Two Eastsiders strayed far off their GUS

found them in one of the fashionable side
streets, just off Fifth avenue. They were
tired and hungry, too; it had been long

whatever it was, which had brought them so
far uptown, had kept them from lunch.
They saw the entrance to a smart res
taurant much frequented by what in the me-
trOpois are known as tea hounds. They en-
tered; but Immediately the surroundings
abashed them. There was so much of mag

smartly dressed couples were dancing in an
