Hobbies, offices, dining rooms and
other necessary adjuncts to a mod
ern hotel. In these rebuilding
plans it is expected to include the
annex which was saved from the
fire, and which contains thirty-Six
guest rooms. The building will
probably be four stories and cover
approximately half of the ground
occupied by the hotel heretofore.
This will leave the remainder to be
used as needed in the future either
for an addition to the hotel or for
BUSINESS purposes.

BY the foregoing question please give
me the border-line location OF Hell
Gate?
A. Residents OF New York City
would doubtless resent the suggestion
that He'll Gate is on the "border-line.'
He'll Gate was formerly a dangerous
strait connecting New York Bay with
Long Island Sound. 1t was filled
with rocks that formed an obstruc-
ton much dreaded by mariners, but
by extensive submarine mining opera
tions and tn use OF the most powerful
explosives. the passage WAS practically
cleared. The work upon this was
frs, in charge OF John Newton. who
as early as 1876 planned the removal
of the obstruction n the strait.

Free Books

Public school education is popular
" supposed to be free education. But
free education which requires the pur-
chase OF text books By scholars is not
free. So argued the proponents OF
free text books a hundred years ago
and so they have argued ever since.
Their arguments have had much effect.
since today foriy-one states and the
District OF Columbia have laws OF one
sort or another regarding free books
for public schools.
Six states provided school books at
state expense. buying them directly
from the state treasury In thirteen
states the laws make the purchase OF
books by local authorities mandatory.

its own books through local ta~iiion.
In twenty-one states. school funds
may be used for the purchase OF free
books. Some states furnish all books |
free: others furnish books for the
lower grades and have high school
pupils furnish their own
There seems to be no reason why
pupil should buy book. when au-
thorities do not require him to buy
a desk. or pay a teacher All three
are part OF the mechanics of teaching.
But there is always the question OF
foolish economy to be considered. and
the foolish economist wants to use a
state purchased book until il wears
out. and to issue and use all supplies

to be said on both sides OF the ques- .

You can always depend upon a
Democrat to think up some new way
OF levying taxes. Here. for instance.
is Representative Andrew ]. Griffin
crease federal revenue by levying a
OF New York. with a proposal to in
federal tax on idle land in order TO
produce S900,0O0.0O0 of revenue TO he
spent through the government al
Washington. From all accounts. il
apears that the states, counties. school
districts and road districts are already
taxing land, both used and unused
so heavily that the owners find trouble
to raise the money to satisfy the de-
mand. Now comes the Democratic
congressman from New York with the
proposal to add a So00,000.000 tax on
only one class OF land. With this
tax affixed, he will probably be back
at the next session of congress with
proposal to tax used land. If il is
proper for the federal government 10
tax idle land, which is bringing the
owner no returns, it is much more
desirable to tax used land, from which
the owner gets a return. That is the
argument that can and will be used
Congressman Griffin is careful TO ex-
plain that his proposed tax is "in
addition TO present levies made bv
state, county, and local taxing bodies.

extend that compensation through the
cession to Italian Somaliland of a por-
ton of Kenya. The part to be ceded
is known as Jubaland
The point of this incident is that
Great Britain and France intended to
take the German colonies unto them
selves if they were victorious. and
the cession of Jubaland proves that
they have done so. The "mandatcs"
under which the German colonies are
nominally held are jokes, Just as
Americans knew they were when they
were allotted under the terms of the
Lague OF Nations covenant. To all

A. 1t is a method devised for the

this system exact measurements OF
various parts of the body. head and
limbs, are made. Inasmuch as the
Lord never made two people exactly
alike, the Bertillion test is absolute.
The print of the thumb, with its
series OF regular skin lines, is one OF
these means of identification, and again
the Lord has sen to it that no two
human beings are lined up on their
thumbs in the same way.
