WHAT A WAR COST

Many statistics have been compiled
relative to the cost of the World War. but
the figures are so large that it is impos-
sible for the human mind to grasp their
significance
In an effort to put these figures into
somewhat more understandable form, Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Co
lumbia University, tells what might have
been done with the 400 billion dollars
spent on account of the war, a. follows:
''The World War, all told, cost
apart from 80 million lives-400 billion
dollars. With that money we could have
built a $1,000 house, furnished it with ST.
900 worth of furniture, placed it on five
acres of land worth 500 an acre and given
this home to each and every family in the
United States, Canada, Australia, England
Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium,
Germany and Russia. We could have given
to each city of 10000 inhabitants and
over, in each country named, five million
dollar library and ten million dollar uni
versity. Out of what was left we could
have set aside sum at five per cent that
would provide $1,000 yearly salary for
an army of 125,000 teachers and a like
salary for another army sofe 125, 900
nurses
Yet there is constant talk abeait anoth-
er war. 1t would probably be going On
now if the nations had the money Of credit
whereby it could be financed, sand II seems
bound to come eventually. And We call
this an age of civilization.

MAsON-DIxON LINE

How a term originally of local Sig
nificance may acquire far wider mean
ing is seen in the use of the name Mason
and Dixon's Line" the popular name of
the boundary line between Pennsylvania
and Maryland.
Because of a dispute between William
Penn and Lord Baltimore over the boun-
Diary which divided their respective colo
MES in 1852, the controversy was continued
by them and their heirs for nearly 80
years.
Finally, in 1863, two surveyors,
Charles Ma1on and jeremiah Dixon, were
given the task of establishing the line, to
which the disputants agreed. The line
was originally marked by milestones, every
fifth stone bearing on one side the Penn
coat of arms and on the other that of Lord
Baltimore.
The name was afterwards popularity
applied to designate an imaginary line
separating the free and slave states the
phraSe being first used in that sense by
John Randolph in a speech in Congress in
1920.
Newspapers and the public took up
the expression and 'Mason and Dixon's
Line" has been used to designate the di-
viding line between North and South ever
since.
