Washington, Sept. 4.-Proposals
for a Nicaraguan canal to be started
in the next few years probably are
inspired more by military than by
commercial motives.
There is no indication that the
Panama Canal is fast approaching
its maximum carrying capacity.
That time is likely not to come be-
fore the year 1000, it ever, although
the matter is conjectural.
The canal now handles about 45
per cent Of it's present minimum ca
pacity. If and when third set of
locks is built, as was contemplated
in the original plans for the ditch,
it will be able to take care Of more
than four times as many ships rs
are now using it.
Tonnage passing through the ca
nal has shown a steady growth in
the last few years, but q saturation
point may be reached easily within
the next few years. One estimate
has been made that the capacity Of
the canal as it is would not be
reached until about 196O-and II a
third set Of locks were. constructed
meanwhile that capacity would be
doubled.
Officials of the canal, who cite
these facts, do not understand the
persistent agitation for a canal
through Nicaragua.
The most seaworthy argument in
favor Of second canal, however, is
made from the standpoint Of mill
tary strategy and the national de-
Tense. It IS held that in event Of
war against the United States the
canal might be put out Of commits
sion. with disastrous possibilities
for our navy. Hence, wouldn't it be
much safer 20 have a second canal
to fall back on in an emergency?
It will doubtless occur to the
reader that If the Panama Canal
can be blown up or bottled up, the
same thing might be done to any
Nicaraguan canal. Nevertheless, the
argument is that two canals are bet
ter than one and that in the unlikely
event that an earthquake should
some time destroy one, the other in
al probability would be left intact,
It is not difficult to demonstrate

WHY PEOPLE VOTE

The National GetOut-the-vote Club has been study
Ing the relation Of the popular vote to the number Of
eligible voters in each state with interesting results
Il has discovered that in South Carolina SIS per
Of the cligibs to the pols while in Wyoming The
percentage 72 The average throughout the country
in 1924 $751; while in 1920 it was just under 50 per
cent In Of the southern states the figures al
which given did Is per Of the voters 60 to the
polls.
The reason for the small percentage in South Caro-
lima and the large percentage in Wyoming not far "a
seek. The southern state IL overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic. Coolidge polled 1928 votes there in 1924 and
the vote for Davis 490o8. Every voter in South
Carolina knew that Davis would carry the state Only
those who are interested in party management take the
trouble to VOTE The rest do not trouble themselves with
the matter knowing that their will not affect the
result in any way. In Wyoming in 1924 there was .
contest. No one knew what the outcome would be. A
Democrat was elected governor by 42s votes against
86,276 Tor the Republican candidate Coolidge polled
41s5s votes for the presidency while LaFollette re-
ceived 16.174 and Davis only 1885, vote meant
something in Wyoming.
No hoilies about the importance Of voting are likely
70 impress the Democrats Of South Carolina. Every
urging to vote will be met with the reioindsr what Is
the use?" When the result IL known from the b.
ginning Il d impossible by talking about civic duty to
persuade people to bestir themselves. People do not
vote from sense Of civic duty They vote when IN L.
sue IN which they Interested is in doubt The
der Il that many vote when there is no uncertainty
about the outcome.

A MUSlC.LOvING NATION

To err Is human, and 50 is talking about oneself.
People prefer talking Of themselves to others than
hearing others ntrospect out loud and they take just
great delight in singing the praises Of their country
During his relatively short life the American eagle
has done his share Of shrieing about himself and yet
there have been times when he has with eommendabs
odesty deprecated his virtues or admitted super.
iority in Others
One peculiarly apt illustration concerns the position
Of the American people in the world of music. For q
number Of years perfectly loyal Americans have
tended that Americans Is nation do not love music ~
do Of the peoples Of Europe American tourists
who have heard the great community song festivals
held annually in Wales have lamented their absence in
the United States, and American visitors to Germany
reproach their own country because grand opera il
more profitable in small German towns than in the
largest American cities.
That these criticisms are unjust is self-evident A
more music loving people than this is nconceivabe
Communicating and opera concerts may be pop
ar abroad than here but these necessarily few in
number even in Europe, while constant stream Of
music is poured into American homes by the piano,
radio, photograph and other musical instruments It is
significant that the worlds largest manufacturers of
musical instruments have their factories in the United
States and that this country spends billions annually
in the music stores found in every town Boosting Of
or more crossroads.
Because this country does not woo Orpheus in the
manner to which he Is accustomed across the waters il
Is not to be the god Of music better courted
abroad.

600 CICARETS APIECE

Rseords> Of the Internal Revenue Department reveal
that the American people in the past year smoked the
than 800 apiece.
That seems like . perfectly enormous number Of
cigarets. At first glance would think that the
number must be away too high. But examination il
becomes reasonable.
Figure It out. The average confirmed cgaret smoker
consumes about package day--2o cigarets. Multi.
piled by 365, this becomes 1900 cigarets year Divide
100 billion by this figure and you get not quite
100000 - the number Of steady cigaret smokers

And that, out Of total population Of 100000 ,o0o

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: A. H. writes: II am
seventy-three years old, and am
bothered with q twitching or jerking
in my legs when retiring, sometimes
keeping me awake for an hour or
more. Will you please let mo know
the cause, also if there is . remedy :"
Answer: The jerking in your legs
is doubtless caused by poor circula-
ton Of blood. I would advise you to
take some exercises about IN hour
before retiring. After the exercises,
sit in tub Of warm water, miners
ing the legs in the water for about
two or three minutes. This will help
the circulation and should prevent
the jerking. If you will write me in
care of this newspaper inclosing .
large, stamped, self-addressed en-
velope, ! will be glad to send you Z
special chart Of exercises without
charge.
Question: Mrs. M. C. asks: "What
is the best method Of keeping
grapes ?"
Answer: Sound grapes may be
kept in good condition for long,.
time by wrapping each bunch in
waxed paper. After tying the ends
they should be placed on some soft
material, such as cotton batting, and
kept in a cool place. They may also
be packed in California redwood saw
dust and stored in q cool place. An.
other method, frequently used in Eu.
rope, is to place the stock of each
bunch Of grapes in q small bottle of
water containing . piece Of char
coal. # a temperature Of about
38 degrees is maintained. they will
keep in good condition for Z long
time.
Question: Ruth asks: "What would
you think best to do for sciatic rheu-
matism? The party in question has
been in bed close to four years with
it. He is on milk diet now"
Answer: What is called "sciatic
rheumatism" may be due to an in
flammation Of the sciatic nerve All
caused by rheumatic toxins; or, Tia
nerve may be pinched some place be-
tween where it, branches emerge
from the lower spine. An osteopath
or chiropractor could quickly correct
the trouble if it is caused by pinched
nerves, and diet to cure rheuma-
tism would bring about cure Of the
trouble if it is caused by the rheu-
matte toxen1ia.

B III INVOLVES
MARYLAND j.

If Congress enacts the bill in
troduced yesterday by Representa-
tive William r. Holiday of Illinois
to provide reciprocal school rela-
tons between Maryland and the
District OF Columbia and the State
of Maryland accepts Its terms the
University OF Maryland will become
virtually a university OF the District
of Columbia.
The bill provides that Maryland
children he allowed to attend Dis
trict schools and District students
Maryland schools, including the
University of Maryland, free. At
the end of stipulated period &C.
counts would be balanced and the
difference in costs paid by one
jurisdiction TO the other.
Under the terms of the bill Mary.
land University would become al
most q part of the District educa-
tional system in that it would be
added to the free schooling facili.
ties offered to District children.
Undoubtedly enactment of the bill
would mean a much larger enroll.
ment at Maryland than ever before
and the proportion OF District stu
dents would probably exceed the
Maryland students.
The plan would have to be ap-
proved by the Maryland legislature
before 1t would be effective, even
II passed by Congress, as it would
make it necessary for Maryland to
enlarge the facilities at the uni.
Versity, in addition probably, to
paying the District of Columbia
cash for the difference In cost be-
tween the District students and
Maryland and the hundreds Of
Maryland children In District schools.
