Truly a Fresh and Unique Section of the World
for Us to Explore"
By COL. A. LESTER JONES', u Coast and GeOdetc Survey.

a ROUND us, extending for thousands of miles in every direction,
~ stretches the mighty expanse of an oceanic new world. It's area,
IN 7oooooOo square miles, exceeds the total ezpanse of all the con.
tnents and islands on the globe. The maximum width Of the
great ocean, 10000 miles, is two-ffths of the circumference of the world.
Truly, a fresh and unique section of the world for us to explore. The
geophysical forces are here seen in actual operation on a scale of I'M
paraleed grandeur. Ocean currents sweep around a third of the crcum-
ference of the globe. Depths of five and a half and six miles have been
located. The periphery of the ocean is outlined by an immense ring of
active volcanoes, a veritable ring of fire.
1t is secretly too much to assert that the coasts and waters of the
Pacific can feed the world. But before an inventory of such resources can
be made there must be a comprehensive geographical survey. The first
essential is to complete our knowledge of the confguration of the sea bot
tom and to obtain data for a bathymetrc chart, or one made by deepsea
sounding. Developments in aerial surveying and in subaqueous sound
ranging encourage the hope that rapid and thorough methods will soon
be practicable These will permit the construction of a model map of
the ocean bed.
Such a mode, showing submarines pateaus, ridges, shelves, and pin
naclesy IS well as valleys, troughs and abysses, will serve not only navga-
tin but all branches of hydroyphysical research. For example, food fish
are found only on the continental shelf or slope, or in its immediate
vicinity. Crustaceans abound for a few hundred fathoms beyond the
mud-ine at about 100 fathoms. Thus the fishing banks can all be To-
Gated and fishing rights adjudicated. Variations of temperature, density,
saliniy, acidity, etc, affect the strength and seasonal changes Of ocean
currents, and all together affect the migrations and supply of food fish.
The sea has its seasons no less than the land.

A B TEN CON-
MANDMENTS

THE ten commandments which God
4 gave Moses from the mountain top
have for centuries been recognized as
containing the principles Of right living
for all those who are old enough to-
regulate their own acts. But how
about the baby who is too young to-
know what is good for him, who cannot
even tell his needs and his wants and
who must depend on others for his
food, his drink and his rest, who can
only by crying tell older people
whether a pin pricks him, a band
scratches him or his stomach hurts?
In a 'Baby's Book the Manitoba
health department gives "a Baby's Ten
Commandments" which every mother
and nurse should study and follow.
Here they are:
l. Thou shalt not kiss me on the
mouth.
2. Thou shalt not sneeze nor cough
in my face, for / may take cold,
neither shalt thou expose me to whoop-
ing cough, measles or other COM
municable diseases for / am human
anu udy UlS.
8. Thou shalt not pick me up by
the arms, but be careful how thou
handlest me and dost lay me down.
4. Thou shalt not give me candy.
cake, pastry, tea, coffee, or any such
thing / may cry for, because 1 do not
know what is good for me.
5. Thou shalt not give me a dirty
pacifier to suck, nor allow me to suck
my thumb, for 1t will give me enlarged
tonsils, adenoids, to say nothing Of
spelling the shape of my pretty mouth.
8. Thou shalt not take me to mo-
ton picture shows, nor keep me up at
night, for it robs me of my sleep and
makes me sick and cross.
Z. Thou shalt not rock me to sleep
nor jolt nor trot me on thy knee when
| cry.
8. Thou shalt give me the right
things TO eat, and feed me on tine.
8. Thou shalt give me pure cool
water to drink between my meals, for
l get very thirsty.
10. Thou shalt give me a bath every
day, clean clothes, my own bed, a COM
Portable room, plenty of sleep in the
fresh air to make me grow, and last
but not least, mother love to make NV
life worth while.

CAN MONEY BRING


a FRENCHMAN wrote to the Paris
a Academy of Medicine, asking
whether there was any danger of dis
ease being carried by paper money
The learned academy, with uninten-
tional and perhaps unconscious humor~
replied that there was very little dam
ger, as microbes hate the agitation of
constant transfer from one place to-
another"
Evidently money circulates as rap
Idly in France as 1t does here. Most of
US are quite willing to agree that, even
If disease germs could be carried on
bills, few Of us are able to keep them
long enough to be in much danger.
While we don't refuse to accept
money in whatever form it is offered,
we would all Of us rather have clean,
new bills just out of the bank, than
worn, dirty bills that have evidently
passed through many hands.
But aside from the esthetic side of
he question, is there any serious dan
ger Of disease being carried by money?
1t is possible that such a thing might
occur, but practically, the chances are
so small as to be negligible. There are
a few cases on record of some forms of
skin diseases being due to the common
habit of women carrying money in
their stockings in direct contact with
their skin. But the short skirts and
cobweb hose of today offer little
chance of ~concealine anything. An
other fayorite hiding place for women
has been the bosom of their dresses
But here again the loose, one-piece
dress offers little ~concealment and no
security, So most women today carry
their money In their handbags. The
~present-day styles in women's dresses
are, yer in this small particular, more
hygienic than the long, heavy, tight
fitting clothes Of yesterday.
But in any case, paper money, like
paper of any kind, is a poor breeding
place for germs. These microscopic
plants (for most forms of microbes
are plants and not animals) like
plants of any kind, need a certain
amount of moisture. On a perfectly
dry surface they do not increase and
soon die.
In the earlier days Of our knowl-
edge of germ life practically every OBJ
ject that might harbor these minute
bodies was regarded with suspicion
Those were the days when doorknobsr
chairs and a multitude of other harm
less objects caused a great deal Of
uneasiness among nervous people
With wider knowledge, we know to-
day that, while such everyday articles
might, under unusual conditions, trans
fer disease germs from one person to
another, as a matter of every day
experience they seldom do. Those
diseases which are transmitted are car
ried by dirty water, dirty food, insects,
animal and human carriers and by per-
sonal contact.
So don't refuse any money through
fear of contagion. Get clean new
bills when you can or, if you must
take dirty bills, change them for clean
ones as soon as possible. Keep your
money In a purse or bag and don't
worry about infection.

"All the Countries Which Experimental With
What We Call Cheap Money"


Europe cut loose from the gold standard and sailed out on an ocean
of currency. Of course no country thought at first that there would
be oceans Of paper money. But even after Germany and Russia and Aus
tra and the others had got hopelessy drunk on cheap money they found
that it wasn't plentiful, because the printing presses couldn't keep up
with the depreciation. And it wasn't cheaper, but costier. The interest
rate got higher and higher, because it had to be figured to cover deprecia-
ton, until the Reichsbank discount rate went to $50.
Some of them have been repeating the process by which standards
of value were originally evolved. They have learned all over again the
necessity of attaching their currency to some basis of definite value They
have been issuing bonds and paper money in terms of iron, rye, coal and
other commodities.
All the countries which experimental with what we call "cheap"
money are trying painfully to get back to the gold standard. Even Rus
eia, where the leaders denounced gold as an instrument of oppression in
the hands of the capitalists, has come around to it.

Three Essential Bases for Our Relations With
Latin America
By v. N. CUTTER, President United Fruit Company.

l depreciate any slightest imperiaishc tendency on the part of the
United States in Latin America. l believe that commercial relations are
the best way to bring about international amity between countries and
that the refusal to invest capital in Latin America would be to shut the
door on public improvements, railways, roads, harbors and other de-
yelopments. There are three essential bases for our relations with Latin
America:
A sound and consistent policy on the part Of our State department,
including proper diplomatic representation, which will insure mutual
respect as between our government and people and the governments and
people of Latin America. Reliable banking connections between our coun-
try and Latin America Sound policy and management of high character
by any United States citizen o companies entering commercial relations
with Latin America
1 believe that over half Of the difficulties encountered by our firms
in Latin America have been caused by the companies indifference to
local customs, practices, social usage, and business methods.

New Approach to Understanding, to Enlighten-
ment and to Good Will
By DR.. HARRY A. GARFIELD, Institute Of Politics.

This session Of the Institute of Politics has again demonstrated that
there is need of a place where, in an atmosphere Of good will and scholar
w interest, men of different natonaities "a confer and discuss their
political, social and economic problems, talk over their sensitive questions
and the danger spots of the world, and in understanding each other find
common purposes. / feel that we re evolving a new method of interna-
tional conference and a new approach to understanding, enlightenment
and good will. 1t is most hopeful to observe the search for facts about
international problems that one sees in the institute and to observe such
countrywide discussion as has been going on in the editorial columns
of the press Of the United States, not about us but about the questions
we have raised. This is to me a very encouraging development, for pub
lie opinion has indeed become the hope Of the world. I am sure it will
inistently continue to call for the facts Of international relations.

''For the Same Reason-Because So Many
People Are, Frankly, Darned Fools


Watch a trolley car Or subway or elevated train discharge and take
on passengers in New York or any large city. AS a rule these two trans
actions re carried on in such a way that the entering crowd jams itself
against those who are coming out of the car, to the delay, discomfort
and sometimes injury Of all concerned. Again, there is the little, in
significant matter Of our copper coins. Why can we not have, a We have
been Iamoring for years to have, two and three cent coppers? Or why
are buttons still sewed upon our coats with pershable thread, IS our
grsndmothes did it? Or why are not puneture-proof automobile tires
manufactured? Or why don't the writers Of our jazz music give more
variety to their productions? Or, even, why doesn't the plumber bring his
tools with him to a job? For the same reason-because 50 many people are.
frankly. darned fools.
