NORTH SHORE ROAD is ONE
OF NATIONS FAMOUS DRIVES

Lake Superior is the largest body
of fresh water in the world. Stretch
ing northeast from Duluth, Minneso-
ia, along the north shore of Lake
Superior for two hundred miles, is
one of the finest and scenically most
attractive roads on the North Ameri-
can continent.
The Lake Superior international
Highway, as it is called, is a part of
Minnesota Trunk Highway No. /,
which by July 1, will be paved the
entire distance from the southern
Minnesota state boundary near Albert
Lea, to Knife River, twenty miles
north of Duluth. From Knife River
to Two Harbors, a distance of seven
miles, the wide, heavily-graveled road
is kept in splendid condition with
periodical applications of calcium
cloride. From Two Harbors north
for fifty miles the road is surfaced
with fine rock, which gives surface
nearly as hard as pavement.
The state of Minnesota has expend-
ed more than two million dollars on
the construction of this highway, and
within a ten-year period, the "North
Shore Road" has become one of the
most famous drives known to the
American motorist.

merce throughout the northwest CEN
trail group of states, plans are now be-
ing worked out with the idea in mind
of harmonizing the legal aspects of
the joint port authority between Du-
luth in Minnesota and Superior in
Wisconsin. Legislation was enacted
by the Minnesota Legislature at the
1927 session authorizing the execu-
tive department to name three COM
missioners to act in conjunction with
like representation from Wiscon-
sin when appointed. This commission
will conduct a study of the present
facilities and services offered to ship
ping and also initiate such additional
measures as seem advisable, to pro-
vide the most ideal conditions for the
attraction of ocean carriers and such
other commerce as may be induced
to seek inland distribution made pos
sible through minimum carriage
charges, together with the lowest
possible harbor expenses consistent
with modern facilities. Provision
must be made for publicly owned
docks, electricity for night loading
and unloading, fuel must be convent
emily available, longshoring conditions
must be favorable and even a Foreign
Trade Zone may be found desirable
where foreign goods may be rework-
ed in bond.
Changing economic conditions in the
vow ho
merce Of the harbor tend to compli-
cate the matter of port development
so far as facilities, at least, are con-
cerned. Take, for example, lumber
shipments, facilities which were con-
sidered ample two decades ago for the
handling of the 446,95O,0OO feet of
lumber shipped in 1906, would not now
be tolerated for the movement Of the
1,358,OO0 feet shipped during the sea-
son of 1926. Modern apparatus to
speed up the longshore work in order
to cut the time of ships in port to a
minimum. Today lumber from the
Pacific Coast mills destined for Kan
sas and other central states is racked
up in "sling loads" at the mills and
we find it being delivered to the rail
carriers at the Mississippi river
points without separation of these
same units. Many similar changes
in the type of commodities constitut-
ing the commerce of the port might
be cited. Lumber became large fac
tor, and has now practically disap-
peared, but coal, grain and iron ore
tonnages more than offset the losses
in the lumber shipping.
The middle west is of necessity Wit
ally concerned with the development
of the inland waterways; and that de-
velopment is just as important to the
farmer in the North and South Da-

Lake Shipments
Add To Industry

(By c. E.. Thompson, Sec. Industrial
Promotion Bureau, Duluth Chamber
of Commerce.)
Since the office of the United States
Corps of Engineers established its
present system of recording the ton
mage and valuation of commodities in
1895, the record shows the stupendous
total of 1,019,956,5S1 tons of merchan-
disc in receipts and shipments having
passed through the Duluth Superior
harbor. Still more inspiring, how
ever, is the figure representing the
valuation of that tonnage, which was
$9,472, 54S,599. Among the major
items of our port commerce are coal,
iron ore, grain, dairy products and
lumber. The average annual gross
tonnage since 1912 has been between
forty and fifty millions of tons of all
commodities, although the enormous
figure of 59,174,S12 tons was reach
ed in 1923. After reviewing such a
vast commerce as is represented by
these figures, it is rather difficult to
visualize the claims which have been
put forward by at least three of the
ocean ports to the distinction of being

Eastern Colleges Hampered

The colleges Of New England, for scores of years
regarded as the bulwark Of educational advancement
throughout the nation are now confronting . serious
condition. With only two exceptions the colleges OF
that section are filled to capacity. There is no room
for more students-and each year the problem Of pro-
viding facilities for the thousands seeking higher edu-
cation is 4 bound to come up with increasing force un-
less steps are taken Immediately 20 remedy the situa-
ton.
This fall q horde Of earnest young men and wo-
men clamored for the right to enter college and were
refused admission. They we're well prepared to do
the college work, and were eager for an education.
Thousands Of these were turned away because Of in
sufficient facilities.
Throughout the central states, the West and the
South, the proportion OF students entering college Is
about the same as in New England, but in those sec
tions they have met the ever-inereasing college enroll
ments by supplying the necessary facilities. The
junior colleges. which take no small part Of the bur-
den off the universities and colleges. are becoming
generally recognized ms necessary adJuncts TO a well
rounded educational program in the various cities Of
the South and West. Additional buildings have been
erected at the various state universities by the private
and UNCONVENTIONAL colleges. Faculties have been
doubled and doubled again to provide sufficient in
structors, and the result has been a rapid increase in
college attendance throughout the West and South.
New England, whose historic colleges were for
over a century regarded as the nations center Of edu-
cation and culture, is slowly rseeding In Importance.
Failure OF the people 10 supply the fachlues demanaeo

search Of an opportunity to acquire a college educa-

the construction Of universities. colleges and schools
II Is interesting to note that Yale and Harvard
each refused admission to two men TO every one that
was admitted. The same IL true Of Dartmouth The
latter college had $500 applications for admission 20
its freshman class, but could accept only $50. Il Ia
hardly logical 70 presume that those who were refused
admission were content to forego their ambitions for q
higher education. Thousands Of them are now enroll
ed in the institutions Of the West and South. Later
they will become identified with that section in which
they have completed their education.
The prestige Of New England as the center Of edu-
cation and culture is growing less each year, and the
time is not far distant when it will be- completely
dinmed by ths more progressive policies Of the West
and South.

MANUFACTURERS PROPOSE CHILD LABOR
LEGISLATION
Dallas Nsws)

dallas News)
The amendment TO the Federal Constitution recent
" proposed which would have authorizsd Congress to
regulate the employment Of children In industry was
rejected. and in q most decisive manner. But its de-
feat was not due to . lack Of popular sympathy with
its general purpose, but to the belief that it would be
politically unwise to invest Congress with the power
which the ratification Of it would have conferred OF
this there is some evidence in the recent action Of the
board Of directors Of the National Association of
Manufacturers in giving its Endorsement to a program
Of child labor legislation for consideration by the
States.
It proposes that no child under is b employed
without q permit issued by the State restricted to the
particular job in which it is to be employed, and in no
case without a certification by a physician designated
by the State that it il physically fit for the employ
ment sought 1t further proposes that completion of
nc least the sixth grade in the public schools be q re-
quirement Of children less than 16 seeking permits to
work, and also continued attendance nc school during
the employment at least four hours a week Working
hours would be limited to forty-eight a week; night
work after 8 o'clock would Dc prohibited. Is would also
employment in hazardous occupations.
The National Child Labor COMMITTEES has expressed
dissatisfaction with that program, complaining that it
ID not sufficiently restrictive. Many others will agree
with that criticism. Yet it is said by the proponents
Of the program that IL would fix q higher standard Of
child protection than now obtains in all but six Of the
forty-eight States. Evidently, il that Is 50, the adop-
tion Of it would mark an advance toward the goal
which the National Child Labor COMMITTEE has set up,
and 1t might, therefore, be good tactics to cooperate
with. ths National Manufaeturers' Association. Such
a union of forces which have heretofore sntagOnized
each other might easily result in bringing about u
very material Improvement in the conditions Of child
labor.
