American Cities Look
Old, Saws Traveller

Looking back on it all, I realize
that America never struck me as a
new country, although it's inhab-
itants seemed to be a new people.
writes L. V. Lucas. The cities are
more mature than the citizens. New
York. Chicago. Boston, Philadelphia,
Washington-all have an air of per-
manence and age. The buildings,
even when most fantastic. suggest
indigenuousness or at least stability;
nor would the presence of more an
cient structures increase this effect.
To the eye of the ordinary Eng
lishman, accustomed to work in
what we call the city, in Fleet street,
in the Strand, in Piccadilly or in
Oxford street, New York would not
appear to be younger place than
London, and Boston might easily
strike him as older. Nor is London
more than a little older, except in
spots, such as the Tower. and the
Temple and the Abbey and that lit
tie Tudor row in Holborn, all sep
arated by vast tracts of modernity.
Indeed. would almost go further
and say that London sets up an illu-
sion Of being newer even than New
York by reason of it's more disturb
ing street traffic both in the roads
and on the footways, and the pres
ence Of the gayly colored omnibus
which thunders along so many thor
oughfares, in notable contrast to the
sedate and sober vehicles that serve

,Bugle Calls Started
With Armies of Old

The influence of the Crusades, OF
the Thirty Years War and of Eng
lish, French and German military
life Is reflected today in the system
of bugle calls in vogue in the army
OF the United States. Our taps
cannot be traced, and is considered
to he of American origin.
The origin of bugle calls can be
traced back to the Egyptians and
1sraelites, who used them in war
fare and on other occasions. In
ancient times the soldiers marched
and fought to the martial strains Of
trumpets.
In the ancient Olympic games of
Greece, contests of bugles or trum-
pets were held as far back as SOC
B. c. Savage tribes use bugles or
trumpets and TOM toms to assemble
their warriors and on festive occa-
sions.
The first authentic instance OF a
command given by bugle calls was
at the battle of Bouvines, where
Philip Augustus of France defeated

How Fast Is Light?

San FranciSco-Whether light
travels at exactly it's estimated speed
is matter that DR.. A. A. Nicholson,
winner of the Nobel prize for ply
sizes in 1907, is endeavoring to detf-
mine by a series OF experiments.
The computed rate is $4,000 miles
a second, and scientists have used
this figure in proportioning their
light year. the yard-stick of the uni
verse.
DR.. Nicholson recently announced
that he suspected light travels bit
faster than $4,000 miles a second or
possibly little slower. He hazard
ed the guess that the physicists were
about 20 miles off in their reckoning,
one way or the other.
He said that for month he would
try. with the aid of Government en-
gineers. to time light rays flashed
from Mount Wilson to Mount San
Antonio, distance Of A miles, in
southern California.
Special instruments were installed
for the test. 1t was planned to re-
feet the rays back to their starting
point by means of mirrors. The
problem was TO clock their passage
over the round trip Of So miles.

~ the earliest days Of Can
ada. and its adjacent
shores of the United
States along the banks of

the River st. Lawrence,
before river steamers were ever
dreamed Of, the Indians shot the
various rapids Of the St. Lawrence
between Prescott and Montreal in
birch bark canoes. Despite the
.frailness Of the structure it suf-
feed the Indian, be he Iroquois or
Algonquin, for he was expert in its
manipulation. There were no ca
nails in those days. but times have
changed with the development Of
civilization. The Indian is no
longer the wild man looking for
the scalps Of the white so-called
interloper as he was looked upon a
hundred years ago and more. The
Indian IS civilized today. He no
longer shoots the rapids in birch
bark canoes. but utilizes the river
steamers Of the Canada Steamship
Company. 1t IS now twenty-five
years ago since the last Of the log
RATS we're sent down the river, the
logs being bound together with will
lows and manned by an army of 80
Indians headed by the renowned
Big John Of the Caughnawaga In

to $40e.o00,000. to which rs per
cent has been arbitrarily added
to cover uninsured and unreported
losses.
These figures do not include for.
est fire losses, and, inasmuch as
they represent largely the burning
Of buildings. they mean that for
every ten new buildings erected in
this country one Is destroyed by
fire. The best authorities agree
that Is per cent Of fires in this
country originate in preventable
causes. and 1t may therefore be
set down that last year through
sheer carelessness we burned up
moro than $375,o0o. 900 worth OF
buildings. For every Is new build.
ings erected one was needlessly
destroyed.
Herein lies one Of the most i'm
pressive lessons Of our day on
the need Of thrift. And this point
has special bearing on the greater
need for thrift education.
A more alert and intelligent gen.
eral understanding Of the value Of
being careful and systematic would
save our country millions Of dol.
lars annually. which II saved
would be reflected in lower rents
and lower general living costs.
And there 10 q more important
aspect Of this matter still. namely.
the loss Of human life and the per.
manent Gripping Of thousands Of
persons as result Of our national
carelessness in the matter Of fires.
The saving Of life and protec-
ton Of property through the exer.
else of greater care and more sys-
tematic and scientific methods of
fire prevention are Of 80 much i'm.
portance to our nation that every
possible means should be en-
ployed to arouse public co-opera-
don.
It Il . mark OF national thrift
lessness that our annual IRE losses
run In excess Of half . billion
