HIS HONORS ARE MANY

HIS HONORS ARE MANY
 Cardinal Pacelli has been honored by degrees from many colleges and has also been award high foreign honors. Tn 1880 the King of Ruma- mia granted him the Grand Gordon of the Order of King Carol I. Tn 1882 King Victor Emmanuel of Italy gave him the Collar of the Annunciation, This is the highest order in Italy, similar to the honor given Musso- lini, and gives the holder the right to call the king cousin"
 Pacelli, the hord worker. is not q man of whom many anecdotes are related. The following is probably the best and the most Illuminating:
 "When I meet an ordinary man. I treat him with great respect. He may be Q saint. When I meet a priest, I see a man who ought to be saint, But I want to find out"

u, s, RELIEF MAP
TO Be LARGEST
IN The WORLD
Work Started in 1928; Will
Not Be Completed
Until 1910.

WELLESLEY, MASS. - A huge
curvature relief model of the United
States, largest of its kind in the
world, is being built at Babson insti-
tute by corps of geographical ex-
perts.
Work on the model began in 1923,
but various obstacles delayed work
during the depression. On January
| of this year, DR.. Wallace w. At
wood Jr., Clark university geogra-
pher, was placed in charge of the
project. Since then the rate of con-
struction has increased about Is
fold.
Under the present program, COM
pletion is scheduled for January,
1910.
The model is in the Coleman Map
building, erected specially for the
model on the Babson campus. There
a giant, dome-shaped, steel frame
works. by Is feet--has been con-
structed by Bethlehem Steel corpo-
ration. 1t reproduces in exact pro-
portion the earth's curvature.
On this framework is placed a
plaster base map OH which is paint
ed the outline of the United States.
Because of the size of the model,
it is being constructed in small sec
tons, to be placed in their proper
position on the curved framework.
Each section is one degree of lati-
tude long and one degree of longi-
tude wide. The finished model will
contain l.2l6 such sections, of which
more than 400 now are completed.
Systematic mapping of the United
States did not begin until 1885, when
certain sections of New England
were surveyed These first efforts
were unsatisfactory and a new start
was made. Until now, only about
55 per cent Of the country has been
covered by the official Typographical
survey maps Of the federal govern
ment.
In areas having no Typographical
survey, stream maps must be used
These are combined with airplane
photos and supplemented by all OBJ
tainable spot-elevation figures.
Many Sources Used.
From this is created topograph-
ical map that serves as a guide in
construction Of the model. Sources
being used by Dr. Atwood and his
staff include the regular United
States geological survey maps,
coast and geodetic survey charts,
geological survey bench marks.
state geodetic surveys done by the
WPA, maps by chief engineers Of
railways, by war department, coun-
ty and state highway engineers.
Among the most important
sources of information are the sec
tional saeronautical charts of the bu-
reau of air commerce, designed pri-
marily to show airline pilots the To-
cation of radio beams and beacons.
Besides extensive areas in the
West and South unmapped except
for air charts and scattered eleva-
ton figures, are the Mount Wachus-
sett section of Vermont and the
northern section of Maine. North
central Pennsylvania and the Caro-
linas also have similar areas.

Rail Solution Depends
On Fair Public Policies

Public policies are mainly re
sponsible for the financial distress
of the railroads, according TO a
statement which the railroads are
making available to the public in
booklet form. Copies may be OBJ
tanned from E. M. Boyes, local agent
of the Great Northern.
Public policy as to the railroads, =
the statement declares, lis that they
shall be fully self-supperting and
tax-paying,
Railroads must do more than
merely meet the cost of providing
maintaining and operating their
rolling stock and other equipment
They must also meet the cost of pro-
viding and maintaining the road
ways upon which that equipment
moves. In addition. they must pay
taxes on both roadway and equip
ment-taxes which do not 20 to the
upkeep of railroad roadways, but
go to help support the general serv-
ices of government
At the same time, the railroads
point out, they must meet the COM
petition of other forms of trans
portation which are not regulated
to nearly the same extent and which
do not have to meet the cost of pro-
viding and maintaining the road
ways over which they operate.
About one-third of every dollar
the railroads take in is required for
taxes and the expense of maintain
ing their roadways Taxes take
cents, and the cost of providing and
maintaining the roadway takes 23l2
cents more.
Out of every dollar taken in by
the motor carriers who report to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, 2 cents goes. for taxes, and
nothing more for channels, which
are built and maintained by the
public. And the Federal Barge
Lines, government operated com
petitor of the railroads, pay nothing
for taxes and nothing for its chan
nels.
With such unequal treatment
and conditions, nothing which rail
roads might be able to do by them
selves will solve their difficulties.
The railroads ask fair and equal
treatment as to regulation, taxation
subsidy and public policy generally
applied alike to every form OF
transportation.

The Father of Umbrellas
For Men Is Remembered

LONDON recent sale of
Jonas Hanway's umbrella at auc-
ton room has recalled Hanway's
fame as the philanthropist who in
troduced umbrellas into the rainy
streets Of London about 1850 and SO
saved thousands of Londoners from
pneumonia and rheumatism.
Drayton, Swift and Gay all had
written of umbrellas in London long
before Hanway's time, but umbrel-
las to them were a Women's fash
ion. Hanways achievement, after
he returned from Persia with his
umbrella, seems to have been the
conversion Of the male population,
and SO well did he succeed that not

the high court has never held the

other method of getting the court to

the privately owned utilities could
not claim damages because none of
tkeir franchises guaranteed them
against competition, the door Was
rather effectually closed.

Japan Cuts Purchases OF
Cotton From United States

In the cotton growing states there
is still deadly fear that if the United
States should boycott Japan's silk,
the price of cotton would drop out of
sight. As a matter of fact, Japan
has been cutting her purchases of
cotton from the United States and
increasing her purchases Of this sta
pie from Brazil and China. But the
fear is still there.
The great majority in congress
still has the slogan Keep out OF En-
tangling Alliances" and is also Wig
orously against any overt word or
act which might force Germany, Ja-
pan, or any other nation to pick up
Uncle Sans gauntlet. Part of this
is honest reasoning on the part OF
the senators and representatives
themselves. Part of it, perhaps most
of it, is from emphatic. protests from
the folks back home.
Instead of the reaction The White
House expected from the emphasis
on the necessity Of protecting de-
mocracy so that religion would be
safe, there is a tremendous fear,
judging by the mail pouring in on
Capitol Hill, that the President may
by taking such a militant attitude,
involve this country in some Euro
pean quarrel.
