Vacant City Land?
There has been very little price
increase in vacant city land dur
ing World War II. Postwar demand
Tor suburban home sites had in
creased slightly the price of land
near some large cities. The fear of
imitation has helped the sale of
small farms but not yet the sale
Ct city property. In most cities,
the assessed value of land has not
heen sufficiently debated from the
peak prices of the 20's to warrant
interest.
1t takes a genera ton to recover
from collapse in city real estate
such as occurred in New York
from 1929-1932. Improved real es-
tate-tha1 is land with illings
still sells at prices below the
reproduction cost, less depre ia.
ton. Hence: no income is left for
the land. AS a result, there is no
pressing demand for new city
space which in turn would absorb
land values and lead to a land
boom.
Basis For
A population rise might boom
city real estate. However, the ma
tons rate of growth, and parti-
cularly urban population, has been
falling. The trend to the suburbs
should increase after the War. I'm
proved transit facilities may re-
suit in suburban living out-pacing
residential growth in the cities.
Well-managed cities with eff
Gent traffic controls, handy SUBJ
ways and honest assessments
may see a rising demand for city
homes. New domestic conveniences
and an increase in domestic en-
ployees may help cities regain
their popularity City real estate
has been so long depressed there
may be a natural swing in the
other direction; but l. now see no
convincing signs thereof.
After The War
individuals concerned over the
national debt and over the value
of their savings now totaling $780,
coo, 000,000 may be drawn to tangi-
hle properties. This is now noted
in the demand by city jewellers
for small farms City real estate
may follow in turn. Much depends
upon the peoples attitude toward
initiation. AS part of the infla'
tionary process city real estate
may again boom; but John 6

boom in either city or farm lands

wise, perhaps you better wait until

Identification Presents
Some Difficult Problems

When large piece of equipment
is transported over an electrified
section of an American railroad,
nine-inch overhead clearance
must be maintained SO the high
voltage current will not jump from
the trolley wire to the shipment
and cause a short circuit, says
Golfers.
In cases where this clearance
is decreased by the lower wires in
tunnels and under bridges, the
power is shut off as safety meas
ure and the train has to coast or
be pushed or pulled by steam
engine through and under them.

Sell Wives for Salt

One Of the most marvellous
sights in the world is the progress
of the great caravans of thousands
of camels, laden with salt, across
the vast sandy wastes of the Sa-
hara, bound for Timbuctoo. Salt
laid the foundations of the pros
perity of that tabled city, which
has been the commercial center of
the trade for centuries. From
there it is dispatched over enor-
nous territories.
So highly valued is it that to
this day natives in parts of West
ern and Central Africa will bar
ter wives for it.

The American Revolution Might Have Ended Differently If

but the bullet that struck down Wolfe
on the Plains of Abraham, and the
fever that carried Bouquet away at
Pensacola, did good service to the
country destined to become the Unit
ed States of America; for they were
such accomplished soldiers, men of
such talent and genius, that had they
been in command of the British
forces in the War of the Revolution,
that struggle might have been short
er and its results possibly vastly
different. They were both young

other the chain of British posts fell,
either from treacherous attack or
from assault by overwhelming forces
of Indians. Only Detroit and Fort
Pitt held out and if the latter post
fell, Pontiac might well make good
his threat to "drive the English in
to the sea-"
In this crisis the Swiss adventurer
was called upon to save the day
by marching to the relief of Fort
Pitt. It is no overstatement to call
his expedition "forlorn hope,"
for when he arrived at Carlisle late
in June, he found there neither ade-
quate stores nor transport which he
had ordered - only panic-stricken
refugees from the west. He had a
force of little more than 500 men,
composed of a detachment of his

1eieaseo py western newspaper Union.
DECENT press dispatches
IN from the Italian front re-
corded the fact that the Kings
Royal Rifle corps was one of the
units of the Seventh Armored
Division, which had served so
brilliantly under General Mont
gomery in his victory over ROM
mel in the North African cam
paign and which was now part
of General Alexander's British
Eighth army. To most Ameri-
can readers this reference to the
. Royal Rifles had no special sig
nificance, although they might
have been as interested in its
progress in the campaign
against Kesselring's Germans
as in the fortunes of any regi-
ment in Gen. Mark Clark's
American Fifth army.
For the fact is that the Royal Rifle
corps is intimately associated with
the history of this country. 1t is the
lneal descendant of a regiment
which helped gain one of the most
brilliant victories ever won on the
North American continent, thereby
giving to American colonial history
one of its greatest military heroes.
Known originally as the 62nd Loyal
American Provincials, the regiment
was later christened the Goth Royal
Americans and this was the name
it bore when its leader, Col. Henry
Bouquet, snatched victory from
what seemed certain defeat at the
Battle of Bushy Run, marched on
to raise the siege of Fort Pitt and
gave the deathblow to Pontiac's
Conspiracy.
A New Era in Military Science.
One thing which distinguishes the
Battle of Bushy Run from all other
engagements in our history is that
here Colonel Bouquet established an
American tradition of tactical re-
siliency and readiness to adapt meth
DDS to new requirements" which has
eliminated in the military innova-
tons of World War II, such as the
new techniques of jungle fighting
against the Japs and of air combat
against the German Luftwaffe. In
a day when battles were fought
strictly according to rule, Bouquet,
a superb tactician, dared to disre-
gard the rules and to "improvise"
on the battlefield, thereby marking
the beginning of new era in mill
tary science.
Bouquet was a soldier of fortune,
born in Switzerland in 1719. In
1854, at the outbreak of the war be-
tween France and Great Britain in
America, he became lieutenant colo
mel of the newly organized 62nd 10y
al American Provincials, which was
to become the Goth Royal Americans
three years later and eventually the
Kings Royal Rifle corps. He came
to America in 1855, and served under
General Forbes in the capture of
Fort Duquesne, the French post at
the Forks of the Ohio which was re-
built and named Fort Pitt Five
years later, in May, 1868, the con-
spiracy of Pontiac, the great Otta-
wa chieftain, broke like a storm
along the frontier. One after an
