During May of the present year 41d vessels passed through the canal, pay ing tolls of nearly $2,O00,000. At this rate the enterprise will soon be paying S24OOO, 900 and more a year, of which approximately two-thirds, according to the usual way of bookkeeping, which makes allowance for purely military and naval expenditures, will be clear profit. The investment has thus justi- fled itself, not only as a defense meas ure, but by ordinary commercial stand ards.
 But it is got so much the present as the future that is making problems for the engineers in charge of the canal, and less directly for American states manship. How rapidly will canal traf- fife continue to increase? When will the limit on the present canal facili- ties be reached? What steps will then be necessary? These questions must be answered, most experts believe, during the next two or three decades.
 Colonel Jay J. Morrow, governor of the Canal Zone, believes that the canal can carry four or five times the traffic which passed through it in 1923, that enforcement may not be necessary for 30 or 40 years, and that the expenses of such enlargement may be taken care of out of the profits upon operation.
 Captain A. W. Hinds, us. N., Ma rine superintendent of the canal, has made an estimate of traffic increase based upon the experience gained with The Suez Canal. His estimate for 1925, l3O transits month, has already been nearly equaled by the May record of AT. By 1880 he believes the rate will be $40 ships a month, by 1940' 760 a month, by 1850 800 a month, by 1880 1,210 a month, and by 1870 1,450 a month.
 On this basis, thinks. Captain Kinds, the existing equipment of the canal, plus the addition of d steam plant to save part of the water now used in producing electric power, will serve un-

NEW YORK, July 19.-Emerging from a mass of talk, pro and con, on the subject of American music, are sev- eral distinct personalities distinct in a creative sense as well as from the domination which they exercise over the practical and theoretical field of music in these United States, The public-and not only the musical pub. lie, but the public at large-will recog- nize the name of Rubin Goldmark without recourse to musical encyclo- pedias or the American supplement of Landormy's History of Music.

 The canal has realized the miracle of an oceangoing steamship sailing from Gray's Harbor, Washington, to Chicago. It has shortened important water routes by more than 5000 miles. It has re- organized one-froth of the worlds ship ping business.

LOS UNIONISTAS DE PONCE Y

COMITE TERRITORIAL
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-02-13
BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD,

are other states. There is nationwide criticism and complaint of failure in ad- ministration of the law. The courts are no less -ta blame for lax enforcement in this country than are executive officials. Time and again the latter perform their duties only to see their efforts come to naught in cases where evidence of guilt is plain, because of the laws delays and technicalities. The big fault lies not in the judicial system, but in, the ways through which it is permitted to operate. Judges themselves frequently realize and protest against the clogging of dockets with litigation for the purpose of delay ing final determination and thereby af- fording designing persons large advan- tage.
 Missouri will have performed service to the nation if it points the way to an effective reform which will correct sit- uation that is so admittedly bad that no one dares to defend it. Delay in the administration of justice is the foster mother of crime and violation of law. Alabama has suffered severely from this evil. There is no larger field for service than successfully to remedy it. Doubt less the people of this state would be shocked to know the direct and indirect cost of this condition, could it be calcu- lated with accuracy.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-02-13
IMPLEMENT CONCERNS CITED

It was not to be expected that the progress of farmers co-operatives would be permitted to continue unimpeded by those interests that have grown fat off of the farmers previous condition of helplessness. Thus the federal trade com mission is now proceeding to investigate charges that certain manufacturers and handlers of farm machinery are combin- ing to refuse to sell their products to the co-operatives. Several well-known man. ufacturers of farm equipment are cited for the hearing, including the Interna- tlonal Harvester Company, the Moline Flow Company, the Emerson Granting ham Company, Oliver Chilled Flow Works, and the Deere company.
 The history of the Harvester trust has been one of apparent benevolence mask ing an actual high price burden upon az riculture. It is /easy for the farmer to buy implements on credit, often very lib- eral, but he pays the price, perhaps many times as much as if he were to borrow the money at a bank for definite in- terest rate and pay cash. Even the cash price, however, is higher than it would otherwise be, if competition among im- plement manufacturers were more gen. ulne. The co-operatives, by buying in quantity, are in position to demand a lower price, and are able to distribute the machinery among their members at a considerable saving even on the usual retail cash price. This makes it difficult for the dealers to sell to farmers outside

ANDALUSIA HELPING HERSELF

This paragraph from the Andalusia Star speaks we'll for the people of that community and the faith they have in their town: "Andalusia is not waiting for dissatisfied New Englanders to come here and bring their cotton mills. Our people are building two with local capi- tai. That is the Andalusia spirit trans lated into action"
 There is an old saying that the Lord helps those who help themselves. It may be added that those who would not try to help themselves when they can are scarcely worth helping. The people of Andalusia and vicinity have shown cour- age, faith and a commendable local pride in their efforts to build two cotton mills with local capital, Their success shows what can be done by home effort when the right spirit is behind it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-02-13
EUROPE'S WAY OUT

Senator King of Utah has introduced joint resolution calling upon the presi- dent to summon world conference to discuss Europe's troubles. Perhaps the president thinks that we have sufficient troubles of our own to consider just now, the proper solution of which would justly test our powers of composing them. If we make a triumphant end to our own principal worries, then indeed would we offer our expert services to do as much for Europe.
 Europe is bothered very much with politics, just as we are. The way out of her troubles is plain if there is willing ness or determination to ignore political considerations and regard only questions of practical application. We have some official representatives now in Europe who are well-equipped with ability and experience to give counsel as wise as could be obtained over here. If Europe shows disposition to accept any con- structive program of rehabilitation these representatives of ours may suggest, then indeed would conference of the sort proposed by MT. King be of great supplementary service. But if there is European reluctance to proceed to a real cure of European ailments, then it is diff cult to see any good end to which further talk would lead

There is opportunity for valued public service in the Child Hygiene Conference beginning here today. From frank dis cussion of health conditions in various parts of the e.te and with comparisons of information and views presented by nurses and others engaged in practical health work, it is expected that plans will be made for further legislation by municipal and county health boards and by the legislature looking to the removal of some of the evils that obstruct prog ress in health improvement, and .espe- cially as it relates to child hygiene.
 No community or section can attain its logical achievement and success in prac- tical effort without necessary measures for safeguarding the public health. There are many communities in this state where health conditions can be greatly improved through application of little thought, time and expense. Cooperation by parents means everything to the suc- cess of the movement. Many parents are willing and ready to do their part when they are impressed with the importance of their aid and are properly advised of what they should do. From the Child Hygiene Conference this week there is reason to expect helpful results as re- spects this, as we'll as many another as- pect of the situation.

MIssoURrs COURT REFORM

What appears to be promising effort to simplify court procedure, reduce the delay and curtail the costs of litigation, is being made in Missouri. It's progress will be watched with interest in many states where conditions for prompt and proper trials in both criminal and civil causes are anything but encouraging, and which in many places are growing from bad to worse, until the administra- ton of justice is seriously obstructed
 The plan in Missouri contemplates the establishment of a state judicial council of nine judges. chosen from the trial and appellate courts, with power to prescribe rules of procedure and practice for all the state courts, subject to legislative approval. ~Phe American Bar Association and the bar associations of number of states have approved the plan, under which chief justice chosen by the voters of the state would administer the rules and practice approved by the ju- dicial council
 Missouri is suffering no more from delays and technicalities of the law than
