Inland Waterways Vital.
More than any other section of our
country, the Midwest is at this time
vitally concerned with the advancement
of these. undertakings. l have stated
on other occasions that, due to the
shift of economic currents from the
war, the Midwest has not had equal op-
portunity with the rest of our country.
The natural increase in freight rates
due to the war, the building of the
Panama Canal coincidcnt with the fact
that the cost of ocean transportation
has remained practically stationary,
have contributed to thrust the Midwest
into an economic setting greatly to her
disadvantage.
Almost exactly three years ago at
Kansas City l said that this shifting OF
economic currents demanded a new
vision of interior waterway development.
I then urged that it was time to reject
the old view of inland waterways as a
series of isolated projects, and that in
stead we should consolidate our interior
waterways into great integrated sys-
J tenn which l called the Mississippi sys-
| tenn.
We have an opportunity to create
| three great trunk lines of water trans
poy .ation-one north and south 500
miles from New Orleans through St
Louis to Chicago, and thus by the
Lakes to the northern boundaries of
our country. Another east and west
l,6C0 miles from Pittsburgh through
st. Louis to Kansas City, and the third
a shipway through the st. Lawrence
connecting Duluth and all the Laka
ports with the sea.

Safeguards OF Health.
1t Is matter of concern to our Gov
ernment that we should strengthen the
safeguards to health. These activities
of helpfulnesS and of cooperation
stretch before us in every direction. A
single generation of Americans of such
a production would prevent more of
crime and of illness and give more of
spirit and of progress than all of the

invent-and /. would cost less

You cannot divide those things that are
seen from those that are unseen.
The things that we call material are
the foundation stones upon which we
build the temple of those things that
we call spiritual. Prosperity, security,
happiness and peace rest on sound
economic life. Many of the subjects
with which we have had to deal are
intricate and complex. We must sup

nations. economy in Government, the
protective tariff, the restriction of i'm

BUYERS ARE WARNED
OF "CONTRACT RAlDING'

Warning to purchasers Of subdivision
property against the menace of 'con-
tract raiding" has been issued by the
Chicago Read Estate Board in letters
set out to recent purchasers of subur-
ban lots in its territory.
Some $4,000 letters have been sent
out cautioning holders of property who
may be solicited to trade their lots or
equities for other real estate to scru-
tinize carefully both the property offered
in trade and the reputation of the firm
making the offer.
The Chicago Better Business Bureau
has engaged actively with the board in
heading off loss to uninformed persons
through what it warns may be fraudu-
lent practice The bureau in special
bulletin points out the plan of the con-
tract raider" is being to 1nveigle the
purchaser of real estate from reputa-
BILE firm to trade his contract for this
property for a second piece of property
sold by the raiders company.
The raider offers to take the old
contract as down payment for what he
represents as an investment that will
bring much more rapid returns. The
price of the new contract Is padded to
cover the amount of the equity in the
original purchase The purchaser finally
buys the piece of property at full price.
1.-THE practice of contract raiding' has
the elements of fraud" the bureau
points out when you change your
contract" the bureau warns, "be sure
you are being traded and not raided."

Visiting Clergyman
Loses Parked Car;
Asks Police Search

Somewhere In the downtown
section of the city a small sedan
awaits the return of its owner,
an Episcopal clergyman, who is
attending the thirty-ninth an
nual convention of his church
here, but the owner has forgot
ten where he parked 1t and the
police have not yet found it.
The owner is the Rev. Alva E.
Carpenter of Providence, r. l.
He is stopping here at 131 Mary
land avenue northeast. Last
night he drove his car down town
but had considerable difficulty in
finding a parking space.
He went to services at the
Church of the Epiphany and
when he got out he realized that
he had forgotten the street and
even the direction where he had
parked his car. After a search
of more than an hour he finally
gave it up, requested police as
sistance and went to bed.
