The Great Temperance Agent
Drunkenness was formerly a great evil In this country. In the Colonial
days, in the Revolutionary period, and in the era which preceded the Civil
War, overindulgence in drink was common in all grades of society. Many
persons who are not yet willing to call themselves old, can remember a time
\sihen it was not uncommon for the leading figures in a community —
lawyers, physicians, hankers, merchants, and even clergymen — ^to drink
heavily. The evil was recognized, but there seemed to be no effective
remedy. Some States took the drastic step of adopting prohibition, but find-
ing it ineffective, one after another gave it up, until only two or three
retained it.
Today no such conditions prevail. Insobriety is not tolerated in any call-
ing of life or in any walk of society. Habitual open drunkenness has well-
nigh disappeared. What has caused this revolution in social habits in half
a century? There have been many circumstances which have contributed
to it, but there has been one great factor —
Temperance Has Advanced Coincidentally
With the Growth in Popularity of Beer
There can be no question of 'the fact that beer has contributed greatly
to the cause of temperances. It contains so small a percentage of alcohol
that it cannot properly be classed as an intoxicating beverage, which fact
is recognized by many 'European Governments in their systems of licensing
and taxation. It is wholesome, appetizing, nourishing, pure, and the best
substitute for the heavy alcoholics. These are the reasons for beer's popu-
larity and for its great success as a temperance agent.
Of recent years prohibition has again been persistently advocated in the
United States. A number of States have been persuaded to adopt it, and
efforts have been made to foist it upon the whole nation. The economie
effects of prohibition are dire; it is a breeder of hypocrisy and law-breaking.
It is in prohibition territory that "moonshine" distilleries multiply, that the
"bootlegger" plies his trade, and that the "blind tiger" has its lair. No
official machinery has been devised that can cope with the vendors of illicit
liquor in those regions.
Prohibition Is An Obstacle in the Pathway
of True Temperance
By its encouragement of the use of ardent spirits, prohibition increases
the evils, which its sincere supporters look to it to cure. The harmless
beverages, such as beer, are driven out, and in their place come the heavily
alcoholic drinks which are readily concealed and easily transported. Nos-
trums purporting to be tonics and containing much alcohol are sold to
innocent purchasers. The use of dangerous drugs almost always increases.
Do not be cajoled into lending aid to Prohibition!

Rupture's Worst Enemy
Get Rid of Elastic Bands, Springs
and Leg-Straps. Such Harness Has
Forced Thousands to Undergo
Dangerous Operations
Trusses like those shown above — the belt and
leg-strap, elastic and spring contraptions sold by
drug stores, surgical supply houses and many
self-styled "Hernia Specialists" — make life
miserable for everybody who wears them.
And — even when drawn so tight you can
scarcely stand to keep them on — they do no
good whatever.
Instead, they often do immense harm — they
squeeze the rupture, often causing strangulation
— dig into the pelvic bone in front — press against
the sensitive spinal column at the back.
The Plain Truth Is This
Rupture — as explained in our free book — can't
be relieved or cured — can't even be kept from
growing worse — unless constantly held in place.
Just as 3 broken bone can't "knit" unless the
parts are held securely together.
And — just as a bandage or splint is the only
way a broken bone can be held — the right kind
of a truss is the only thing in the world that
can keep a rupture from coming out.
What a difference it will make when you get
that kind of truss!
And you can get exactly that kind of truss —
without risking a cent of your money.
It's the famous Cluthe Truss or Clitthe Auto-
matic Massager.
Far more than a truss — far more than merely
a device for holding the rupture in place.
So different from everything else for rupture
that it has received 18 separate patents
Thousands say it is as comfortable as their
clothing.
No belt, elastic belt or springs around your
waist, and no leg-straps. Self-regulating, self-
adjusting. Can't shift or slip — the only truss in
existence that is honestly guaranteed to hold
your rupture every minute of the day.
60 Days' Trial to Prove It
We have so much fait'h in the Cluthe Truss — we
have seen ii ■work wonders foi- so many othei-s —
that we want lo make one especially for your case
and let you try it on the most liberal trial plan
ever offered to ruptured people for their protection.
We'll ^ve !?ou 60 days' trial to prove that fWs
tniBS will keep your rupture from coming out.
■when you are working a.nd at all other time.s —
tihat it will put an end to the trouible you've here-
16— Q
tofore had ttitli your lupture. If the trial we
allow you doesn't pro\« it then the truss won't
cost you a cent.
How It Holds and Strengthens
In addition to holding the rupture the
Clut'lie T'lus.^ or Clut'he Autouiat.ic Matwaerer is
coustaatly giving a strengthening massage
to the weak ruutuied parts.
All automaticailly — tho massage goes on all day
lonfr.. nil without an\ attention whatever from you.
This massage — which i^trengthens just as exercise
strengthens a weak arm — is so remarkahly bene-
ficial— that nearly all feel better and stronger^
get immediate relief after tiyiug this tiuHS.
Get World's Greatest Rupture Book
Don't go ton letting your r"upture get woiec —
don't spend a cent on accouut of .a our lupfrure until
you get our book of advice — which two c«nts for
a stainij — or a penny for a postal will hiing you.
This remaika'ble book — cloth-bound, 06 pages.
21 separate articles, and 10 pliotograpliic pictiu-cs
— took us over 40 yeais of day-after-day experience
to find out all the facts we've put in it.
It explains the dangers af operations and why
they don't alwa.vs cme to stay cured. Tells why
— ^for the protection of the publio-^rug stores
should not be allowed to sell trusses.
Exiplains why belt, spring and elastic trusses
can do no good. Exposes the humbug "methods,"
"lacks." ''appliances.'' "plasters." ".systems," etc.
..ind tells all about the Clutlie Tru£s — just how
it hold.f — how it is water-proof — how it ends con-
stant expense — how you can get it on 60 days' trial

JOSEPH PULITZER.
April lO, 1847 4« October 29, 1911.
In a year filled with events of grave responsibility for journalism, both in our
own country and in the history of foreig-n nations, THE WORlLrD, dedicated May 10.
188.3, by its founder, Joseph Pulitzer, to the advancement of the interests of the
American people, continued to uphold in memorable achievement during the year 19'16
the tradition which for more than a quarter of a century has earned for it the leader-
ship not only of American journalism but of \vo.rld journalism for all time.
Always drastically and fearlessly independent in its news policies, as well as on
its editorial page, THE WORT^D in 1916 gave to the American public the best and
most accurate accounts that were available of the Drogres's of the European war. which
on entering its third year of bloodshed became even more bitter and ruthless than in
Its first two years of existence. A Presidential election, one of the most fiercely and
closely fought in the history of our national politics, during which foreign influence
was brought to bear that a candidate favorable to a foreign nation migtht be the
Chief Executive of the United States, brought into international prominence the
power of THE WORLD'S championship of the cause of pure Americanism.
The propaganda of the German Government to violate the neutrality of the' United
States in the interests of the central empires, wihich was exposed by THE WORLD
in 1915, was further revealed in 1916 when plots involving most seriously the freedom
of this country were discovered and disclosed to the public.
Documentary evidence which came into possession of THE WORLD proved tlhat
the driving force behind the Gore resolution and the McLemore resolution, whose pas-
sage would have meant the surrender of American rights on the high sea/S and
allowed the central allies to launch anew an unrestricted submarine warfare on the
shipping of all nations, was The National German-American Alliance. The clearing-
house of the alliance in its Congressional campaign was the office of Alphonse G.
Koelble, and one of the principal lobbyists was shown to be T, L. Marsalis, a New
York real estate operator.
The programme which had been adopted by the alliance comprised three measures
for immediate enforcement —
1. Refusing passports to Americans travelling on the ships of belligerents.
2. An embargo on all contraband of war from ports of the United States.
3. Prohibiting Federal Reserve Banks from subscribing to foreign war loans.
Back of these plans a programme was being prepared for the control of tiio
Republican National Convention and the defeat of President Yv'^ilson in the Interests
of the German cause. The revival of the Champ Clark boom for the Democratic
Presidential nomination was traced to a suggestion made by the alliance.
Among the names mentioned in the reports of the German lobbyists as being
opposed to President Wilson's foreign policy were Senator Stone of Missouri, Chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate; Senators Thomas P. Gore, James
A. O'Gorman, G. M. Hitchcock, Marcus M. Smith, John W. Kern, James H. Lewis.
James E. Martine, Hoke Smith, John D. Works, Wesley M. Jones, G. E. Chamberlain,
Port J. McCumber, Albert B. Cummins, William E, Borah and Moses B. Clapp, an"d
Representatives Claude Kltchin. James R. Mann. Joseph G. Cannon. James Hay.
William S. Bennet. Dan V. Stephens. Charles Bennett Smith. Henry A. Cooper. Chao-les
H. Dillon, Isaac R. Sherwood and Charles O. Lobeck.
One week after its exposure of the Germam lobby in Congrress, THE WORLD
made public documents showing that the German Government sent to the United
States, and that the German Ambassador in Washington, Count Johann von Bernstorff,
directed and paid for the activities of at least one secret agent whose business it was
to influence through the press American public opinion in favor of Germany.

dential election. ,,, , , . ^, . . ., . ^ , ,,
Four articles by Rudyard Kipling telling the story of the greatest sea fighit in all
history — the clash between the British and German fleets off Jutland. May 31 — was
another achievement for THE WORLD in 1916 that broughit it praise from papers
at home and abroad. , „,^„ „^„„^ „ . ,„,„
Another exclusive series of special articles secured by THE WORDD' m 1916 was
the personal narrative written by Captain Paul Koenig, commander of the German
merchant submarine Deutschland. who piloted his ship from Bremen to Baltimore.
Ajt the completion of his second trip across the Atlantic. Captain Koenig told of his
trip by the pen of Henry Reuterdahl, the foremost naval critic in the United States,
who secured an exclusive interview with the Captain for TiHH WORLD.
MEXICO.
The troublesome relations of this country with her southern neighbor Mexico, with
its vital interest to every citizen of the United States, made the news from south of
the Rio Grande of especial value. Owing to the unsettled conditions of affairs and
the lack of any permanent or recognized government in Mexico, it was very difficult
to secure any authentic information.
One of the most striking iouri.alistic achievemen'ts of the year was the exclusive
interview which was granted by General Carranza to THE WORLD representative at
Mexico City. Robert H Murray. This was the first authoritative interview whicti
General Carranza had ever given to a newspaper, and was secured by Mr. Murray only
after six months' untiring effort to avrange the audience.
In his statement to Mr. Murray, which he called a message to the American people.
General Carranza said:
"The solution of the problem is in the retirement of the United States force. Take
the United States troops out of Mexico, where they are doing no good, and liave them
patrol your side of the border while we protect lives on our side. We have quelled
all armed opposition except in sporadic instances."
When President Wilson, in his determination to enforce respect for citizens of the
United States in Mexico and punish Villa for his raids acioss the border into the terri-
tory of this country, despatched units of the National Guard of the various States to
do patrol duty at the border. THE WORLD sent with the troops two trained corre-
spondents, who j-emained at the border as long as there was serious danger oif inter-
vention on the pait of this country.
With General Pershing's regular troops on their dash into Mexico in pursuit of
"Villa, THE 'VS ORiLD sent John Kirby, a member of its Waslijngton Bureau, who re-
ported daily on the pi ogress of 'he American forces.
PULITZER AERIA'L DERBY.
A transcontinental air race for a trophy to be given annually by Ralph Pulitzer,
publisher of THE WORLD, was announced by the Aero Club of America, but owing to
the conditions on the Mexican border, which made it imperative to send United States
troops into Mexico and mobilize all aviators for national service, the race, which had
been scheduled to start September 2, was postponed for one year.
The race was planned by THE WORLD to become a national annual event — the
Aerial Derby of America — a measure toward national preparedness which shouJd in-
teiest Americans in regaining their country's prestige in the air. As an event of
sportsmanship and a test of aerial engineering development the transcontinental race
was heralded by all as of national importan'ce.
Hieh Administration officials were ciuick to give their approval to the idea, and
said that they believed that the race would <io more to accentuate interest in aviation
than any movement in recent years.
THE WORLD BT AERIAL EXPRESS.
The first aerial delivery of a metropolitan newspaper at Washington was achieved
when Victor Carlstrom. flying from New York with a special edition of THE WORLD.
established a non-stop flight record of three hours and four minutes between New York
and Washington.
The special edition of THE WORLD which was carried to Washington by Carl-
Strom, who had as his passenger Alan R. Hawley, President of the Aero ClvLb of
America, with a letter w'hich was personally delivered to President Wilson, contained
an anneal for aerial preoarerlness indorsed bv a maloritv of the Governors of the
States. The articles in THE WORLD showed that the States were prepared to furnish
during the Summer 2.000 aviation recruits, and suggested that the Federal Govern-
ment could tiain them at a cost of S2. 000. 000 — less than one-tenth the cost of one
dreadnought.
(jopies of THE WORLD were delivered to each member of the Cabinet, the Senate
and the House of Representatives. It brought forcefully home to the legislators the
necessity for increasing through Federal encouragement the now pitifully weak air
defence of the country.
Through the crvstallizing of sentiment by this special ae-rial edition Congress was
induced to provide in its appropriation bills money which insures a greatly increased
aviation equipment for the army and navy,
THE NATIONAL ELECTION.
A Presidential campaign which brought out the largest number of voters wTio ever
cast their ballots in the history of American politics, and which was characterized by
fierce attacks by both the great parties, brought THE WORLD in 1916 into
prominence as the champion of American rights In all lands and on all seas and as
the defender of the President who, with honor to the Nation, had kept 100,000.000
of his fellow-citizens out of th-e world-war.
The World— Continued. 23
From the days early In June when the Republicans chose Charles Evans HuK'hes
a« their candidate in the effort to defeat President Woodrow Wilson for re-election
THE WORLD grave to the public .a forceful, clear and unbiased account of the
progress of one of the most Intensely fought political battles since the founding of the
RepUiblic.
The Republican National Conve.ntion, held at Chicago coiincident with the meeting of
the Progressive National Convention in the same city, was written for THE WORLD hy
men and women of national reputations, who were themselves vitally interested in
the outcome of tihe campaign and did much to influence the ultimate results of the
election in November. Among THE WORLD correspondents who reported the National
Conventions were William Jennings B.ryan. George W. Perkins. William Allen White.
Bainbridge Colby. U. S. Senator William E. Borah an,d Ida M. Tarbell. in addition to
the regular corps of THE WORLD'S political reporters, headed bv Louis Seibold
Rollin Kirby. THE WORLD cartoonist, attended the oonvencions and save flrst-hana
impressions of the men who gathered there.
Trained political reporters accompanied the Republican candidate on his several
trips about the country, writing accurate and unpiejudiced accounts of his receptions
and speeches. Specie.l correspondents, experts in the field of political journalism, re-
ported faliihfuUy the activities of the leaders of both of the parties, enablin.g the
readers of THE WORIvD to have a truthful acaount of both sides of the fight.
One of the most vigorous editorial ca.mpaigns in recent American newspaper history
was carried on by THE WORLD during the course of the campaign, in which it chal-
lenged all opposed to the attitude of the Administration to- put forward a more
practical programme of procedure than had been follov/ed in dealing with tne •com-
plicated Mexican and European problems which had conf touted the Democratic leaders.
A conspicuously brilliant series of cartoons wa^ piinted by THE WORLD during
the campaign, and many of them were copied by scores of papers in all parts of the
country. Their scathing satire on the weaknesses of the Republican claims and the
selfish ambitions of the Republican leaders was so forceful and telling that credit was
given them as a very large faciior in returning the Wilson Administration.
One of the notable aahievements of the campaign was the exclusive interview W'hioh
THE WORLD obtained with Richard Olney, Secretary of Slate under former President
Cleveland, in whicli he strongly upheld the poliicies of President Wilson and urged his
re-election at such a ciitical time in American history, when a false step might plunge
the country into -a needless and indefensible war. The inteiview wnich THE WOP.'iD
secured with Mr. Olney was extensively copied in hundreds o.f papers tihroughout the
country.
One week, before tfhe electlion THE WORLD published its forecast of the political
feeling of the country and made the prophetic statement in summarizing the results
of its investigations that "Wilson may win a re-election by a victory in the Western
States and without the need of New York's electoral votes."

stood in total darkness except for the feeble flicker of its torch, was lighted through
•the construction of a flood lighting svstem on Bedloes Island by popular subscriptions
raised through the efforts of THE WORLD, which in 18IS6 raised a fund of $100 000
•bv similar means to complete the pedestal on which the statue now stands.
More than 75,000 persons gave amounts langing from a penny to $500 in order to
complete the fund of $-30,000 necessary to provide for the construction of the lighting
system, which was planned bv the foremost illuminating experts in the country.
Patriotic organizations, clubs, civic societies and business houses rallied to the support
of the movement as well as the thousands of individuals who gave their mite that
the light of the statue might shine forth a welcome for all and be a symbol by night
as well as b> day of the libeity for which our countiy so courageously stands.
The mo'.'ement to provide for the illumination of the Statue oi Liberty received the
active support of Cabinet officers, who, heartily approving of the idea, gave the
plans their peisonal altentioix that the lighting plant might be completed on the day
set for its inaugur-ition
The dedication of the illumination was accompa.nied by an elaborate programme, the
President of the United States being present at the ceremonies on his private yacht
Mayflower and giving the signal for the turning on of the light for the first time.
Among those who were included in the President's party on the yacht were Mayor
Mitchel of New Yoik City, Ambassador and Madame Jusseiand of France, Ralpl
Pulitzer. Cleveland H Dodge, and William >I. Calder. United States Senator-elect fron
New York. A comim.ittee of 200 prominent citizens of New York City, which had beer
appointed 'bv the Mavor to provide for tlie reception to President Wilson, witnessed
the illumination of the statue from the U. S. S. San Francisco.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies at the statue the Mayflower and the San
Francisco returned to the Battery, where the members of the committee and their
guests were taken in motor cars through electric paths of gold to the Waldorf-Astoria,
where a public dinner in honor of the President of the United States and Mrs. Wilson
brought the day to a brilliant close. „, ,, „ , ^ ,. j.
The speakers at the dinner were former Senator Chauncey M. Depew, who delivered
fhe oration at the dedication of the statue thirty years before; Ambassador Jusserand
who read a mcssa.SG from the President of the French Republic; Henry L. Doherty
President of the Society for Electiical Development: Ralph Pulitzer publisher of THE
WORLD, and the President of the United States. .
The guests of honor were the President and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. His Excellency
the French Ambassador and Madame Jules J. Jusserand, the 'Secretary of the Navy and
Mrs. Josephus Daniels, the Secretary of ComimeTce and Mrs. William C. Redfleld.
Mayor and Mrs. John Purroy Mitchel and Ambassador and Mrs. James W. Gerard.
President Wilson, in accepting the lighting system on behalf of the Government or
the United States, delivered an address which will maike ever memorable the day
wliich witnessed the dedication of Liberty's illumination. He said in part:
24 The World— Continued.
"There are many moving circumstances connected with this day. connected with
fhe things it recalls, connected with the things it suggests. I was reflecting as we saw
t'he light stream upon that beautiful statue, that its source was outside the statue; that
It did not proceed from Liberty, but proceeded from the light we are throwing on
Liberty; and it occurred to me that, after all. it was a proper symbol of our life,
"because we can take to ourselves the dignity of Liberty only as we Illustrate the fact
nd the true spirit of Liberty, and the only light that we can contribute to the
lumination of the world is the light that will shine out of our life as a nation upon
at conception and upon that image.
"There is a great responsibility in having adopted Liberty as our Ideal, because wa
ust illustrate it in what we do. I was struck by the closing phrase of Mr.
jlitzer's admirable little speech. He said that there would come a day when it was
rcaived tha.t the Goddess of Liberty was also the Goddess of Peace, and throughout
^ iast two years there has come more and more into my heart the conviction that
•eace is going to come to the world only with Liberty.
"With all due and sincere respect for those who represent other forms of Bovem-
nent than our own. perhaps I may be permitted to say that peace cannot come so long-
s the destinies of men are determined by small groups who make selfish choices
f their own.
"I wonder if we remember the sacrifices, the mutual concessions, the righteous
Yielding of selfish right that is signified by the word and the conception of Libe^rty. I
svonder if we all wish to accord equal rights to all men.
"And so it is profitable that occasions like this should be frequently repeated and
that we should remind ourselves of what sort of image we have promised to be. for th&
world is enlightened, my fellow citizens, by ideals, by ideas. The spirit of the world
rises with the sacrifices of men. the spirit of the world rises as men forget to b&
3eUish and unite to be great.
" 'This,' to repeat that beautiful phrase of Lincoln's in his Gettysburg address, 'Is
lot a time of self-adulation, but a time of rededi'cation.* Let us determine that the
ight that shines out of our lives upon the uplifted form of Liberty shall be a light
pure and without reproacih."
■ In his address. Mr. Pulitzer gave to George Williams of New York the credit of
iiaving conceived the idea of illuminating the Statue of Liberty at night by flood light-
ing and having brought the plans to THE WORIiD for executlion.
ARTIST BLAKELOCK REDISCOVERED.
It was through the efforts of THE WORLD that in 1916 Ralph A. Blakelock,
msidered by many critics to have been America's greatest painter, was removed frojn.
e Mlddletown Insane Asylum, where he had been confined for more than sixteen
ars. and provided with a comfortable home, where he can again take up the work he
ad been forced to abandon when commiitted to the State hospital.
By taking him away from the depressing atmosphere of the asylum, where all his
irtistic temperament was suppressed, it was hoped that some of Uhe genius which had
)nce given such a remarkable touch to his brush might be brought back again and that
us appreciation aind power to portray might be reawakened.
ACCURACY AND FAIR PLAY.
THE WORLD'S Bureau of Accuracy and Fair Play issued its third annual report
howing that from July 1. 1913, to July 1, 1916. the bureau had dealt with 1.138
Jses involving the question of accurac.v and fair play in the news and editorial
ilumns. sustaining 700 complainants and publishing 415 corrections. There were
n addition 101 publications in the interest of fair plav where THE WORLD was not
It fault. Members of THE WORLD staff and its correspondents everywhere have
vlmost without exception shown their hearty accord with t'he purposes and activities
>f the bureau. A limited number of correspondents who have been convicted by the
■ecords of habitual carelessness have been dismissed. There has been a materi.al
ailing off in libel suits since the bureau was established, which means a corresponding
■crease in public confidence and good will.
While the bureau was cieated primarily for the purpose of promoting accuracy and
Ir play in the columns of THE WORLD, serious efforts have been made to spread
le Idea wherever newspapers are pulDlished. The svstem has appealed to many
urnalists and teachers of iournalism throughout the United States who have adopted
in their newspapers and classrooms. The publications of the bureau are regularly
It to more than thirty colleges and universities where iournalism is taught
The bureau h.as actively co-operated with the Federal authorities, the' District-
torney's office and the Police Department in prosecuting scores of crooks and
IndleTs who have tried to use the advertising columns cf THE WORLD and other
v.'spapers to trap their victims. Convictions have been secured in many of these
ses and in some instances the courts, before imposing sentence, have induced the
irsons convicted to mak'e restitution. A number of misleading advertisements have
■en cut out or rejected, and some persons whose advertisements were conside'red to
misleading have been required to change them into plainer English.
WAITE MURDER MYSTERY CLEARED.
THE WORLD discovered Mrs. Margaret Horton. "the woman In the case " who

lis father and mother-in-law and obtained the signed confession of Dr. Waite in
yhich he admittea that he had administered poison to his father-in-law.

BEACHES RESTORED TO PUBLIC.
The diream of a Coney Island beach free to the people was realized w.hen the Court
Vppeals the highest court in the State of New York, decided that the beach at
y Island — that is, the land between the high-v/ajter mark and the low-water
t — belongs to the State, and that the people have the rig-ht to use it. The fight to
aim this strip of beach from private individuals, who had appropriated the land to
ir own uses and were making the public pay them for enjoying its advantages, was
•ted by THE EVENING WORLD and pushed by that paper to a successful conclu-
1 in 1916.
The case had been in the courts of the State of New York since 1913. when, at the
ance of THE EVENING "WORLD, Attorney-General Caamody brought a test suit
linst George C. Tilyou and his business associate, Mrs. Emolie Huber. to evict them
■n portions of the beach which they had fenced in and which the public could not
:h except bv paying an admission fee. In the decision which was handed down in
3 Justice Benedict decided that the land in question belonged to the people of the
e of New York, and this decision was affirmed by the Appellate Division in 1915,
by the highest court in 1916.
The decision cleared the way for the city's remodelling of the Coney Isiland water-
t into a great waterfront park on city property worth millions of dollars.
.nefficiency in city goveirnment was exposed by THE EVENING WORLD when it
overed that the city had been spending thousands of dollars every year for the past
teen years making a map of the city which would be antiquated and useless when
pleted. The salaries for the year 1916 of the men who were engaged in making

'sC;esar, in B.C. 45, was tlie first to reform the calendar bj' ordeiiiig that ever}' yeai whc

STANDARD TIME.
rom a statement jn-epared by the United States Naval Observatory, Washington, D. C.)
United St.ates adopted standard time in 1883, on the initiative of tlie American Railwa:
on, and at noon of November 1 ■!. 1883, the telegiaphic time signals sent out daily from thi
ervatory at Washington wete changed to the new system, according to which the
of 75°, 90°, 105° and 120° west from Greenwich became the time meridians of Eastern,
..onntaiQ, and Pacific standnrd time lespectively.
etically, the divisions should he half way between the above meridians, but for general cou-
the railroads change their time at the eii-'s of railroad divisions, so that Eastern standard
5ed from the Atlantic Coast to an irregular line through Biiiralo, Salamanca, Pitt.sbur
g,\V. Va. ; Hollo way, Ohio; ITnutlngton, W Va ; Bristol, Tenn ; Noiton, Va. ; Asheville, N
, Augusta, Gn.: Columbia, S C. ; Central .Tunclion, Oa. Some of these cities use Eastern
•ntral time, while the railroads use one time in one direction and the other time in the o
>n.
! same applies to the cities on the dividing lines between the Central and Mountain divis
e running Uwough Bismarck, N. D , South Dakota, Nebraska, Coloi ado, Kansas, New Me
exas to K\ Paso; also to the cities on the dividing line between the Mountain andPacific div'
ne running through Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

* At places marked » the time noted is in the mornln:; of the following day.
•'Summer" time, wiiich is one hour later than that given in the table and which is to be used from May
1 to October 1, was introduced in 1916 In all countries of Europe except Russia, Greece, and the Balkan
States. (See statement below.)

Norfolk, Charleston. Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Montreal, Quebec. Ottawa. Toronto, etc.

Memphis, Savannah, Pensacola. Winnipeg, etc.

X By the law of the State of Ohio, which the Legislature recently refused to change. Central time is the
legal time in all of that State. The trunk line railways at Cleveland, with the e.xception of the Erie, use
Central time. There is a city ordinance which names Eas em time as the city time, but as above stated,
it is at variance with the State law. Detroit has likewise adopted Eastern time.
DAYLIGHT
The movement known by this naTie proposes
"to set the clock ahead" one hour ia the Summer
months, or to be more exact, fro.Ti nlay 1 to October
1; the idea being to substitute an hour of sunlight
at one end of the day for an hour of artificial light
at the other.
The father of the movement was an Englishman,
William Wlllett, who in 1907 published a booklet
on the "Waste of Daylight " In 1908 a Daylight
Saving bill was introduced in the House of Com-
mons but failed of passage. The measure was
ouposed on the ground of being needless, deceptive
and confusing.
On April 6, 1916, the German Federal Council
passed a measure providing that on May 1, 1916,
all clocks should be set aheal one hour. The meas-
ure was adopted for hygienic and economic reasons.
Within three months twelve European countries
had followed the lead of Germany and "Summer
Time" was in use in Germany, Holland, Austria,
Turkey, England, France, Norway, Sweden, Den-
mark, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal.
Nova Scotia had the honor of introducing the new
order in the New World.
Practically no confusion resulted; everything
went on as before, people doing exactly the same
things at the same hour o'clock, but In reality the
whole routine of lite had been brought one hour
SAVING.
nearer sunrise. The scheme had brought about
in the simplest way a vital change affecting millions.
A simple "twist of the wrist" had given these nations
their place in the sun.
In England, where the change was avowedly
a war measure and not designed to outlast the war,
a prime consideration was the conserving of the
coal supply for naval and military uses. Also,
it is estimated that the British people are saving
812,000,000 on gas and electric light bills in a single
season and that New York City by this means
could save 51,500,000 annually in gas alone. On
the other side of tlie account la the fact that the
English companies quickly advanced the pric« of
gas and electric light to the consumer, to meet the
loss to tliemselves through lessened demand. Also,
motorists are taking advantage of the greater num-
ber of hours of daylight now to be enjoyed and the
consumption of gasoline is increjising.
The advantages to be gained are somewhat a
matter of latitude : England and Germany are in
a position to reap the greatest benefits; Scotland
has an excess of Summer daylight, anyway, as is
likewise the case with Scandinavia; In locations
like our own .Southern States there is too little
difference in the duration of daylight as between
Summer and Winter to warrant the change.
[Arthur Newton.]

THE MOON.
Of all the secondary planets the earth's satellite
Is by lar the most interesting and important. The
moon completes her circuit around the earth In a
period whose mean or average length is 27 days
7 hours 43.2 minutes; but in consequence of her
motion in common with the earth around the sun,
the mean duration of the lunar month, that Ls, the
time from new moon to new moon, is 29 daj-s 12
hours 44.05 minutes, which is called the moon's
synodical period. If the earth were motionless in
space the moon's orbit would be nearly an ellipse,
having the earth in one of the foci; hence her dis-
tance from the earth varies during the course of a
lunar month. Her mean distance from the earth
is 238,862 miles. Her maximum distance, however,
may reach 252,830 miles, and the least distance to
which she can approach the earth is 221,520 miles
Her diameter Is 2,160 miles, and if we deduct from
her distance from the earth the sum of the two radii of
the earth and moon, viz., 3,963 and 1,080 miles, re-
spectively, we shall have for the nearest approach
of the surfaces of the two bodies 210,477 miles
Her orbit is a very intricate one, because the earth
In moving around the sun carries the moon along
with it; hence the latter is sometimes ^vithin and
sometimes without the earth's orbit. Its form is
that of a serpentine curve, always concave toward
the sun, and its plane is Inclined to the plane of the
earth's orbit at an angle of 5° 0', in consequence of
which our satellite appears sometimes above and
sometimes below the plane of the earth's orbit,
through which she passes twice in a revolution.
These points of intersection \vith tlie ecliptic are
called nodes, and it is only at or near them that
eclipses can occur. The nodes have a retrograde
motion, which causes them to make an entire revolu-
tion in 18 years 218 days 21 hour8.22 minutes and 46
seconds. Both sun and moon return to a node after
18 years and 11 day's, so that an eclipse is followed
by another of the same general character at the end
of this period, which was well known to the ancients,
who called it the Saros, and which was made use of
by them in roughly predicting eclipses.
The moon always presents the same face to us,
as is evident from the permanency of the various
markings on her surface. This circumstance proves
that she revolves on an axis, and the time of rota-
tion is exactly equal to the time of revolution around
the earth, viz., 27 32168 days. The moon's axis Is
not perpendicular to the plane of her orbit, but de-
viates therefrom by an angle of about 6° 41'. In
consequence of tins fact the poles of the moon lean
alternately to and from the earth. When the north
pole leans toward the earth we see somewhat more
of the region surrounding it, and somewhat less
when It leans the contrary way. This displacement
Is known by the name of libration iu latitude
The moon's motion* on her axis is uniform, but
her angular velocity in her orbit Is subject to slight
variations by reason of the form of her orbit; hence
it happens that we sometimes see a little more of
the eastern or western edge at one time than at an-
other. This phenomenon is known as libration In
longitude.
The moon's surface contains about 14,657,000
square miles, or nearly four times the area of Europe.
Her volume is 1-49 and her mass 1-81 that of the
earth, and hence her density is about 3-5 that of the
earth, or about 3 2-5 that of water. At the lunar
surface gravity is only 1-6 of what it is at the earth,
and therefore a body which weighs 6 pounds here
would weigh only 1 pound there.
The centre of gravity of the earth and moon, or
the point about which they both actually revolve
io their course around the sun, lies within the earth;
it is 1,063 miles below the surface.
The attractive force of the moon acting on the
water of our oceans is mainly Instrumental In rais-
ing them Into protuberances or tides in such a man-
ner as to give the total mass a spheroidal figure
whose principal axis would continually coincide
with the line joining the centres of the earth and
moon, but in consequence of the resistance which
this movement of the water encounters from con-
tinents and islands, as well as from the liquid mole-
cules themselves, the tidal wave can never arrive
at any place until about one hour aft«r the moon
has crossed the meridian of the place.
The moon has no atmosphere and no water.
The suddenness with which the stars are occulted
by the moon is regarded as a conclusive proof that
a lunar atmosphere does not exist, and the spectro-
scope fiirnlshes negative evidence of the same char-
acter.
In remote ages the limar surface was the theatre
of violent volcanic action, being elevated Into cones
and ridges exceeding 20,000 feet high, and at other
places rent into furrows or depressions of corre-
sponding depth. The lunar volcanoes are now ex-
tinct. A profound silence reigns over the desolate
and rxigged surface. It is a dead world, utterly un-
fit to support animal or vegetable life.
THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.
The earth's sensible atmosphere Is generally
supposed to extend some forty miles In height,
probably further, but becoming at only a few miles
from the surface of too great a tenuity to support
life. The condition and motions of this aerial ocean
play a most Important part in the determination
of climate, modifying, by absorbing, the otherwise
Intense heat of the sun, and, when laden with clouds,
hindering the earth from radiating Its acquired heat
Into space.
HALLEY'S
Of the great number of comets Vvhich have tem-
porarily visited our solar system or have become
permanent members oi it none has surpassed Halley's
In historical associations, it nas a record dating
back to B. C 240; its visitations spread alarm and
consternation throughout Europe during the Mid-
die Ages; was ttie first whose return was predicted
by an Astronomer Royal of England, and will
therefore, for these reasons, be an object of great
scientific interest for all time For the Information
of those who appreciate such matters the following
are the elements of its orbit as deduced from the
last visitation:
Perihelion Passage 1910, April, 19.67. Greenwich

where A denotes the azimuth, p the polar distance, and I the latitude of the place.
DATE OF GREATEST ELONGATION.
To And the time of greatest Eastern or Western elongation, let H denote the hour angle, and I and p as
before, then we shall have
cos H = tan p tan I.
And the hour angle in mean time is
//m = W X 0.0664846.
This quantity, Hm. added to or subtracted from the time of transit given above, according to the elonga-
tion required, will give the mean time of the greatest elongation at any place whose north latitude Is I.

The determination of stellar parallax Is one of the most difficult and refined problems in practical or
observational astronomy. It is to find the angle which the semi-diameter of the earth's orbit subtends at
the star — an angle always very small, as seen from the above table, and which cannot be measured directly
but by various processes too complicated to be explained here.

Q A.scending Node.
tj Descending Node,
Two heavenly bodies are in ' ' conjunction " ( 6 ) when they have tlie same Ric/Iit Ascension,
or are on the sa)?te meridian, i. e. , when one is due north or south of the other; if the bodies are
near each otlier as seen from tlie earth, they will rise and set at the same time; they are in
"opposition" (§) when in opposite quarters of the heavens, or when one rises just as the
other is setting. "Quadrature" (n) is half way between conjunction and opposition. By
"greatest elongation" is meant the greatest apparent ang^u^ar distance from the sun; the
planet is then generallv most favorably situated for observation. Mercury can only be seen
with the naked eve at ttiis time. When a planet is in its "ascending" (0) or "-ia=f.onriiniT'>
' descending'
(U) node it is crossing the plane of the earth' s orbit. The term "Perihelion" means nearest,
and ' 'Aphelion ' ' furthest, from the sun. An "occultation " of a planet or star is an eclipse of
and ' 'Aphel
it by some other body, usually the moon.

THE WACNETIC POLES. , ,^ ^ . „ . „
Thb eeoeraphlcal poles of the earth are the extremities of the fVnaplnary line passing
throuRh Its centre of gravity and about which it revolves, and are therefore symmetrically
locatPd with regard to the equator. . . ^, , ■ , _ .
The magnetic poles, however, are not coincident with the geoKraphlcal poles, nor are
thev diainetrically opposite to each other. Prior to the recent attempt of Anniradsen to
determine the north magnetic pole, the only other was by Capt. James Ross in June. IbJl.
who found the din of the mapmetic needle to be 80° 59' .5. In latitude 70 5 .2 N. and
longltuae 96° 45' .8 W.. whlcli Is in Klni? ■William Land. Canada, The result of
Amundsen's observations has not yet been published by the Norwegian authorities.
For the south magnetic Dole, from a consideration of all the results available,
according to t!he United States 'Coast and Geodetic Survey, the poslUon latitude 7^ .7
S. and loTigHude IBS" "El. has bean tentatively adopted. These values are only rougbly
approximate, and for that reason are given only In ti.egrees and tenths.
Bv reason of the annual variation of the magnetic needle. It is believed that the
magnetic poles are not stationary, but have a slow motion around the geograpmcai poies.
The subject Is shrouded In mystery and constitutes one of the many as yet unsolved
problems In terrestrial physics.

EARTHQUAKE AREAS OF THE EARTH.
From Major de Moatessus de Balore's catalogue of 130,000 shocks, indicating with some
scientific acciu'acyhow the symptoms of seismic activity are manifested over the earth's surface.
The period of oliservaiiou includes generally the last fifty years ; but there is no reajon to suppose
that a longer time would materially affect Uie proportionate numbers.

The most shaken countries of the world are Italy, Japan, Greece, South America (the Paciflc
Coa3t),Java, Sicily, and Asia Minor. The lands most free trom these convulsions are Africa, Aus-
tralia, Russia, Siberia, Scandinavia, and Canada. As a rule, where earthquakes are mostfrequent
they are most severe. But to this general statement there are exceptions— Indian shocks, thongh
less numerous, being often very disastrous. Loss of life In many cases depends, however, on density
of population rather than on the intensity of the earth movement. Numerically, also, France has
registered more seismic tremors than Spain and Portugal, but France in historic times has experienced
no earthquake disaster approaching the havoc wrought by the one calamity at Lisbon.

HUMIDITY.
MEAN RELATIVE HUMIDITY. IN PERCENTAGES.
From a table prepared by the United States Weather Bureau, showing the monthly and annual
values of relative humidity at regular Weather Bureau stations In the United States, based upon

The Geological Strata.
THE GEOLOGICAL STRATA.
The strata composing the earth' s crust is divided by most geologists into two great classes :
1. Those generally attributed to the agency of water. 2. To the action of fire; which may be
subdivided as follows: (a) Aqueous formations, stratified, rarely crystalline (sedimentary or
fossiliferous rocks; metaraorphic or unfossiliferous). (b) Igneous formations, unstratified,
crystalline (volcanic, as basalt; plutonic, as granite).
The geological record is classified into five main divisions or periods : 1. The Archaean, life-
less and da\vn of life. 2. The Palaeozoic (ancient life). 3. The Mesozoic (middle life). 4. The
Cenozoic (recent life). 5. Quaternary, the age in which man' s first appearance is indicated.

* In Southwestern Assam. It Is the wettest place in the world. In 1861 the rainlall there reached 905
Inches. Panama — At Balboa Heights. Pacific section, mean annual temperature 80°: annual average rain-
fall 71 Inches. At Colon, Atlantic section, mean annual temperature 80°; annual average rainfall 131
Inches. The mean annual temperature of the globe is about 59° Fahr. The average annual rainfall in the
world has been variously estimated at from 30 to 60 Inches It ranges from 458 inches In Cherrapongee,
India to zero in the Sahara Desert An inch of rainfall makes 113 tons to the acre. New York City has
an annual precipitation of 44.6 inches, or 5.039 tons to the acre. In 1914 it cost 0.733 cents a ton per mile
to transport the freight of the United States. Hauling the water supply of an acre of Central Park land
fifty miles by rail would, therefore, cost SI 846 a year It is estimated that the annual stream-flow of the
earth is 6,500 cubic miles, or enough to replace all the material taken out of the Panama Canal every 2 Vi seconds.
Highest Temperatures on Record — ^The highest temperatures occur in Northern Africa, in the Interior
of Australia, In Southwestern Asia, and in Southwestern North America The record for the United States
is 134° at Greenland Ranch, Cal., July 10. 1913. Ouargla. Algeria, has a record of 127.4° on July 17, 1879.
and Jacobadad, India. 126' on June 13, 1897. Lowest Temperatures on Record — The minimum tempera-
tures of Siberia and North America are much lower than any that have been observed in the southern hemi-
sphere. Hann states that the lowest temperature ever observed was — 90.4° at Verkhoyansk, in Siberia.
The lowest temperature ever recorded In the United States was — 65° at Fort Keogh, Miles City, Mont,
January. 1888. The lowest temperature recorded in the Antarctic by Shackleton was — 57° on August 14.

WEATHER FLAGS
OF THE WEATHER BUREAU, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The Weather Bureau furnishes, when prjicticable, for the benefit of all interests dependent upon
weather conditions, the "Forecasts" which are prepared daily at the Central Office in Washington,
D. C. , and certain designated stations. These forecasts are telegraphed to stations of the Weather
Bureau, railway officials, postmasters, and many others, to be communicated to the public by
telegraph, telephone, "wireless'' and mail or by means of flags or steam whistles. The flags adopted
Xor this purpose are five in number, and of the forms and colors indicated below:
EXPLANATION OF WEATHER FLAGS.

ular Flag.
No. 5.

centre.
Fair weather.
Bain or snow. Local rain or snow. Temperature.
Cold wave.
When number 4 is placed above number 1, 2 or 3, it indicates warmer; when below,
colder; when not displayed, the temperature is expected to remain about stationary. During
the lata Spring and early Fall the cold- wave flag is also used to indicate anticipated frosts.
WHISTLE SIGNALS.
A warning blast of from fifteen to twenty seconds' duration is sounded to attract atten-
tton. After this warning the longer blasts (of from four to six seconds' duration) refer to
weather, and shorter blasts (of from one to three seconds' duration) refer to temperature ; those
for weather are sounded first.
Blasts. Indicate.
One long Fair weather.
Two long Raiu or snow.
Three long Local rain or snow.
Blasts. Indicate.
One short Lower temperature.
Two short Higher temperature.
Three short Cold wave.
By repeating each combination a few times, with intervals of ten seconds, liability to error
in reading the signals may be avoided.
As far as practicable, the foreca.st messages are telegraphed at the expense of the
Weather Bureau ; but iL this Is impracticable, they are furnished at the regular commercial
rates and sent ' 'collect. " In no case are tlie forecasts sent to a second address in any
place, except at the expense of the applicant.
Persons desiring to display the flags or sound the whistle signals for the benefit of the pub-
lic should communicate with the Weather Bureau ofBcials in charge of the central stations
of their respective States, which are as follows:
Alabama, Montgomery.
Arizona, Phoenix.

THE ANCIENT AND MODERN YEAR.
The Athenians began the year in June, the Macedonians in September, the Romans first In March
and afterward in January, the Persians on August 11, the ancient Mexicans on February 23, the Mo-
hammedans in July. The Chinese year, which begins early in February, is similar to the Moham-
medan in having 12 mouths of 29 and 30 days alternately; but in every nineteen years there are seven
years which have 13 months. This is not quite correct, and the Chinese have therefore formed a
cycle of 60 years, in which period 22 intercalary months occur.
SMALL CRAFT, STORM AND HURRICANE WARNINGS 69
OF THE WEATHER BUREAU, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
AS DISPLAYED ON THE ATLANTIC. PACIFIC, AND GULF COASTS.
All square flags shown here are red with black centre when displayed as warnings.
Small craft. Slorm. Hurricane.
m
R C 0
NW. winds. SW. winds. NE. winds. SE. winds.
Small Craft Warning — A red pennant indicates that moderately strong winds are expected. Slorm
Warning — A red flag with a black centre indicates that a storm of marked violence is expected. The pen-
nants displayed with the flags Indicate the direction of the wind: white, westerly; red, easterly. The pennant
above the flag Indicates that the wind is expected to blow from the northerly quadrants; below, from the
southerly quadrants. By night a red light indicates easterly winds, and a white light below a red light wasterly
winds. Hurricane Warning — Two red flags with black centres, displayed one above the other, Indicate the
expected approach of a tropical hurricane, and also one of those extremely severe and dangerous storms
which occasionally move across the Lakes and Northern Atlantic Coast. Neither small craft nor hurricane
warnings described above are displayed at night.
The following new system of night storm-wamlng displays on the Great Lakes only became effective
October 15, 1916:
SrruM Craft Warning — A red pennant Indicates that moderately strong winds that will interfere with
the safe operation of small craft are expected. No night display of small craft warnings Is made. North-
east Storm Warning — A red pennant above a square red flag with black centre displayed by day, or two red
lanterns, one above the other, displayed by night, indicate the approach of a storm of marked violence with
winds beginning from the northeast. Soulheasl Storm Warning — A red pennant below a square red flag with
black centre displayed by day, or one red lantern displayed by night, indicates the approach of a storm of
marked violence with winds beginning from the southeast. Southwest Storm Warning — A white pennant
below a square red flag with black centre displayed by day, or a white lantern beiow a red lantern displayed
by night, indicates the approach of a storm of marked violence with winds beginning from the southuest.
Northwest Storm Warning — A white pennant above a square red flag with black centre displayed by day, or
a white lantern above a red lantern displayed by night, indicates the approach of a storm of marked violence
with winds beginning from the northwest. Hurricane, or Whole Oale Warning — Two square flags, red with
black centres, one above the other, displayed by day, or two red lanterns, with a white lantern between,
displayed by night. Indicate the approach of a tropical hurricane, or of one of the extremely severe and dan-
gerous storms which occasionally move across the Great Lakes.

tt Consisting of the Farrans Point, Raoide Plat and Galops Canals, (a) Original cast of canal extending
from Cleveland to Portsmouth, 317 miles, but now abandoned between Portsmouth and Dresden.
t The Erie Canal, Oswego Canal and Champlain Canal are being enlarged by the State of New York
to a depth of 12 feet, and with locks of a capacity to pass barges having a net tonnage capacity of 2,000 tons
each. The enlarged CJhamplain Canal between Troy and Whitehall, a distance of sUty-one miles, was com-
pleted and placed in commission in May, 1916. The Oswego (Barge)- Canal is now open between the Three
River Point and Lake Ontario at Oswego for boats ofsix-foot draught, with a connection with the Erie Canal
at Syracuse through a portion of the unimproved canal. Several large sections of the Erie Barge Canal al-
ready have been completed and are In commission. Report of State Superintendent of Public Works in-
dicated that entire canal from Hudson River to Lake Ontario will be ready for operation in the season of 1917.
In July, 1916, there were 277 miles of completed Barge Canal in use as follows: Erie (Barge) Canal —
Waterford to Jacksonburg (Mohawk River), 86 miles; Lyons to Falrport, 25 miles; Greece to Tonawanda,
73 miles. Total. 184 miles. Champlain (Barge) Canal — Waterford to Northumberland (Hudson River),
26 miles; Northumberland to Whitehall. 35 miles. Total, 61 miles. Oswego (Barge) Canal — Mud Lock to
Oswego. 32 miles. Grand total, 277 miles. To tliis may be added the improved canal between Mud Lock
and Baldwinsville, 5 miles, and between Three Rivers and Brewerton, 10 miles, which, though completed,
may not be used in connection with the main line of canal, but which has opened Oneida Lake to canal traf-
fic from its westerly end.
The original estimated cost of enlarging the Erie, Champlain and Oswego Canals was SlOl. 000,000, but
has since been increased bv 810,000.000 for terminals and $8,000,000 for branches. The plan of improvement
covers 440 miles of construction and 350 miles of canalized rivers and lakes, or 790 miles altogether.
** The coivt of enlargin? the Cayuga and Seneca Canal to the same capacity as the improved Erie
Canal Is e-itimated at 87,000.000.

FACTS ABOUT THE EARTH.
(Revised by the National Geographic Society of Washington, D. C, from the latest available figures and
estimates )
The superficial area of the earth is 196,940.000 square miles — 140,295,000 square miles of water and
56,255,000 square miles of land. The three great oceans comprise the Atlantic, 41,321.000 square miles;
Pacific, 68,634,000 square miles, and Indian, 29,430,000 square miles. There are about 1,000.000 square
miles of lalie and river surface on the land, and 1.910.000 square miles of islands in the seas. The diameter
of the earth at the equator is 7.926 miles, and through the poles 7.899 6 miles. The average elevation of
the land above sea level Is 2,300 feet. The average depth of the ocean below sea level is 12.600 feet The
deepest place in the ocean yet found is off Mindanao, Philippine Islands, 32,088 feet. The highest moun-
tain is Mount Everest, in the Himalaya.s, 29,002 feet. This gives a range of 6 1,090 feet or more, 11 H miles,
between the bottom of the oceans and the top of the land.

The total area of the land, given here, includes Inland waters and is the Sir John Murray estimate.
In the areas of the several continents the Statistical Abstract and the Statesman's Yearbook have been fol-
lowed in the case of North and South America, Europe and Australasia. In the case of Asia and Africa, where
detailed surveys have never been made, planlmetric measurements of shore lines are relied upon The polar
regions are, of course, only an approximation. Population statistics are from the Statistical Abstract and
the Statesman's Yearbook. „^ „„„ „„„
The best estimates of the earth's area place the fertile regions at 29,000,000 square miles; steppes at
14 000 000 square miles; deserts at 4,861.000 square miles; and polar regions at 6,970,000 square miles.
' The population of the earth at the death of Emperor Augustus, estimated by Bodlo, was 54,000,000
The population of Europe hardly exceeded 50,000,000 before the fifteenth century.— MaZAoZJ. The popula-
tion of the earth, at Its present ratio of gain, will be about 4,000,000,000 in 2014 J , ACO ^

Metric System.
METRIC SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
The use of the metric system is obligatory In thirty-four countries of the world, including practically
all the countries of South America, and all but three or four of the European countries. Its use Is also op-
tional In the following eleven countries: Bolivia, Canada, China, Egypt, Great Britain and Ireland, Greece,
Japan, Paraguay, Russia, United States of America, and Venezuela. Various names of the preceding sys-
tems are, however, frequently used: In Germany, M kilogram = 1 pound; in Switzerland, 3-10 of a meter
= 1 foot, etc. If the first letters of the prefixes deka, hecio, kilo, myria, from the Greek, and deci, centl, miU.
from the Latin, are used In preference to our plain English, 10, 100, etc , it is best to employ capital
letters for the multiples and small letters for the subdivisions to avoid ambiguities in abbreviations: '1 deka-
meter or 10 meters = 1 dkm.; 1 decimeter or 1-10 of a meter = 1 dm.
The Meter, unit of length, is nearly the ten-miUlonth part of a quadrant of a meridian, of the distance
between Equator and Pole. The International Standard Meter is, practically, nothing else but a length
defined by the distance between two lines on a platlnum-irldium bar at 0° Centigrade, deposited at the
International Bureau of Weights and Measures, Paris, France.
The Liter, unit of capacity. Is derived from the weight of one kilogram pure water at greatest density,
a cube whose edge is one-tenth of a meter and, therefore, the one-thousandth part of a metric ton.
The Gram, unit of weight, is a cube of pure water at greatest density, whose edge la one-hundredth of a
meter, and, therefore, the one-thousandth part of a kilogram, and the one-millionth part of a metric ton.
The Metric System was legalized In the United States on July 28, 1866, when Congress enacted as
follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem-
bled. That from and after the passage of this act it shall be lawful throughout the United States of America
to employ the weights and measures of the metric system, and no contract or dealing or pleading In any
court shall be deemed invalid or liable to objection because the weights or measures expressed or referred
to therein are weights or measures of the metric system.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted. That the tables in the schedule hereto annexed shall be recognized
In the construction of contracts and In all legal proceedings as establishing in terms of the weights and
measures now In use in the United States the equivalents of the weights and measures expressed therein
In terms of the metric system; and said tables may be lawfully used for computing, determining, and ex-
pressing in customary weights and measures the weights and measures of the metric system.

THE METRIC SYSTEM SIMPLIFIED.
Thefollowingtablesof the metric system of weights and measures have been simplified as much
as possible for The World Almanac by omittinor such denominations as are not in practical,
everyday use in the countries where the system is used exclusively.
TABLEtS OF THLE SYSTEM.
Length. — The deuomiuations in practical use are milUmelers (mm. ), centimeters (cm. ), meters
(m. ), and kilometeis (km. ).
10 mm. = 1 cm. ; 100 cm. = 1 m. ; 1,000 m. = 1 km. Note. —A decimeter is 10 cm.
Weight.— The deiiominations m use are grams (g.), kilos' (lig. ), and tons (metric tons).
1,000 g. = 1 kg. i 1.000 kg. = 1 metric ton.
(Capacity .—The denominations in use are cubic centimeters (c C. ) and liters ().).
1. 000 c. c. = 1 1. Note —A hectoliter is 100 1. (seldom used).
Relation o£ capacity and weight to length: A cubic decimeter Is a liter, and a liter of water weighs
^' APPROXIMATE EQUIVALENTS.
A meter is about a yard; a kilo is about 2 pounds; a liter is about a quart; a centimeter is about
^inch; a metric ton is about same as a ton; a kilometer is about % mile; a cubic ceutimeter is about a
thimbleful ; a nickel weighs about 5 grams.

MEASURES AND WEIGHTS OF GREAT BRITAIN.
The measures of leng-th and the weights are nearly, practically, the same as those in use in the
United States. The English ton is 2,240 lbs. avoirdupois, the same as the Ions ton, or shipping ton
of the United States. The English hundredweight is 112 lbs. avoirdupois, the same as the long
hundredweight of the United States. The Englisli stone is usually equal to one-eighth hundred-
weight of 112 lbs. , or 14 lbs. avoirdupois. The metre has been legalized at 39. 37079 inches, but the
length of 39. 370432 inches, as adopted by France, Germany, Belgium, and Kussia, is frequently used.
The Imperial gallon, the basis of the system of capacity, involves an errrir of about J part in 1,836:
lOlbs. of water => 277. 123 cubic inches. (A late authority gives the weight of the Imperial gallon as
10.017 pounds and of the United States gallon as 8.345 pounds. )
The English statute mile is 1,760 yards or 5,280 feet. The following are measures of capacity :

The British AUmiralty Knot or Nautical Mile is 6,080 feet.
The StaCiite Knot is 6. 082. 66 feet, and is generally considered the standard. The numberof
feet in a statute linot is arrived at thus: The circumference of the earth is divided into 360 degrees,
each degree containing 60 V:nots or (360x60), 21,600 knots to the circumference. 21.600 divided
into 131,38o,4o6— the number of feel in the earth's circumference— gives 6,082.66 feet— the length of
a standard mile.

ELECTRICAL UNITS AND THEIR POPULAR DEFINITIONS.
The watt is the unit expressing electrical energy as horsepower (hp) represents energy in mechanics.
It Is the sum of the volt (pressure) times ampere (rate of flow) . Thus 2 volts times 2 amperes would give
you 4 watts. Electrical energy is sold at so much per watt hour or more generally at a given amount per
kilowatt hour — which means 1,000 watt-hours. This may represent 1 watt for 1.000 hours or say 1,000
watts for 1 hour. 746 watts are equal to one horsepower or Inversely 1 kilowatt (kw) Is equal to IJ^
horsepower.
The horsepower represents the energy required to lift a weight of 33.000 pounds — 1 foot in 1 minute
or 550 liJS. 1 foot in 1 second.
The ohm is the unit of electrical resistance and represents the physical property of a material which
oHers a resistance to the flow of electricity permitting just 1 ampere to flow at 1 volt of pressure. For
example, 1,000 feet of copper wire of 10 gauge has lust 1 ohm of resistance and allows the flow of 1 ampere
at 1 volt.
A dry battery is made by placing In a hollow receptacle of zinc a piece of carbon, the Intervening space
being filled with a mixture contalng certain chemicals such as manganese dioxide, powdered carbon and
some absorbent material such as sawdust, which is then saturated with salammoniac and the receptacle
sealed. The chemical action set up produces a flow of electricity when the two electrodes, the carbon and
the zinc, are cotmected by a conductor of electricity such as a wire, a lamp or a motor.

The entire length of the building from north to south is seven hundred and fifty-one feet four
inches, and its greatest dimension from east to west three hundred and fifty feet. The area covered
by the building is 153, H2 square feet.
The dome of the original central building was constructed of wood, covered with copper. This
wa.s replaced in lSo6 by the present structure of cast iron. It was completed iu 1865. The enliie
weight of iron used is 8,909,200 pounds.
Tlie dome is crowned by a bronze statue of Freedom, which is nineteen feet six inches high
and weighs 14,985 pounds. It was modelled by Crawford. The height of the dome above the base
line of the east fiout is two hundred and eighty-seven feet five inches. The height from the top of
tliei)alustradeof the building is two hundred and seventeen feet eleven inches. The greatest diam-
eterut the base is one hundred and thirt.v-tive feetfive inches.
The rotunda is ninety-seven feet six inches in diameter, and its height from the floor to the top of
the canopy is one hundred and eighty feet three inches.
The Senate Chamber is one hundred and thirteen feet three inches in length, by eighty feet three
inches iu width, and thirty-six feet in height. The galleries will accommodate one thousand i)ersons.

width, and thirty-six feet in height.
The southeast corner-stone of the original building was laid September 18, 1793, by President
Washington with Masonic ceremonies. The corner-stone of the extensions was laid July 4, 1851, by
President Fillmore.
The room now occupied by the Supreme Court was, until 1859, occupied as the Senate Chamber.
Previous to that time the court occupied the room immediately beneath, now used as a law library.
LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPEECH.
(Address at the Dedication of Oeliysburg Cemete-iy, November 19, 1863.)
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men aie
created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of
that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final re^tlng-pIace of those who
here gave their lives that that nation might live. It Is altogether fitting and proper
that we sliould do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it
far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember
what we §ay here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly
carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before
us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which
they here gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that the
dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of
freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not
peiish from the earth.

Declaration of Independence. 91
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
IN CONGRESS JULY 4, 1776.
The unanimous declaration of tlie tbirteen United States of America. When in the Course of
huiuau events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con-
nected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, tlie separate and equal sta-
tion to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's Goa entitles them, a decent respect to the opiuious
of mankind requires that tliey should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men aie created equal, tfiat they are endowed by
their Creator with ceruiin unalienable Kight-s, that among these are Life Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiuess. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Wen. deriving their just
powersfrom the consent of the governed, 'Diat wheneverany Form of Government becomes destruc-
tive of these ends, it is the llight of the People to alter or to abolish it, aiid to institute new Govern-
ment, laying its foundation on sucli principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to eHect their Satety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly
all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufTerable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed . But when a long train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invaiiabl.v the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, itis their right, it is their duty, to throw otf such Government, and to provide
new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and
such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government The
history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, nil
having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this,
let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless sus-
pended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly
neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those
people would relinquish the right of Bepresentatiou iu the Legislature, a right iuestimable to them
and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uucomfoo^able, and distant from the
depository of their public Record.'., for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his
measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness hisinva-
sious ou the rights of the people.
Hehasrefusedforalong time, aftersuch dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the
Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large lor their exei-
cise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and
couvulsious within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose oi)Structing the
Laws for Naturalization ofForeigners; refusing to pa.ss others to encourage their migrations hither,
and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands
Hehasobstructed the Aamniistration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing
He^has made. fudges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount
and payment of their salaries , „.«
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, aud sent hither swarms of OITlcers to harass our peo-
ple, and eat out their substance. . , . , .
He has kept among us, iu times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the ililitaiy indepeudent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws, giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
Forquarteringlargeljodiesof armed troops among us: „ ., ^. ,_ , , ,j
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from puuishmeut for any Murders which they should com-
mit on tlie Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting olTour Trade with all parts of the world:

Declaration of Independence.
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE— Coniimtcd.
Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is
thus luamea by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free peopla
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from
time to time of attempts by tUeir legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We
have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have ap-
pealed to their native justice aud maguanimity, aud wehaveconjured themby the tiesof our common
kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and corre-
spondence. They too have been deal to the voice of justiceand of consanguinity. We must, there-
fore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the
rest of mankind, Enemies in War, la Peace Friends.
WE, THEREFORE, the Represektatives of the United States of America, in General.
Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of tlie world for the rectitude of our inten-
tions, do, in the Name, aud by authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish
and DECLARE, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be free and independent
States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, aud that all political eon
nection between them and the State of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that
asFBEE AND i>fDKPENDKNT STATES, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract
Alliances, establish Commerce, aud to do all other Acts and Thin§^s which independent States
may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a hrm reliance on the protection of
Divine Providence, We mutually pledge toeachotherour Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

WASHINGTON'S FAREWELL ADDRESS.
EXTRACTS FROM HIS ADDRESS COUNSELLING THE MAINTENANCE OF THE
UNIOX.— CONFINEMENT OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT TO ITS CONSTI-
TUTIONAL LIMITATIONS, AND AVOIDANCE OF RELATIONS
WITH FOREIGN POLITICAL AFFAIRS.
(.To the People qf the Uniled States on JUis Approaching Jietirement from the Ptesidency. )
Here, perhaps, I ought to stop; but a solicitude for your welfare, which cannot end
but with my life, and the apprehension of danger natural to that solicitude, urge me, on
an occasion like the present, to offer to your solemn contemplation, and to recommend to
your frequent review, some sentiments, which are the lesult of much reflection, of no in-
considerable observation, and which appear to me all-important to the permanency of your
felicity as a people. These will be afforded to you with the more freedom, as you can
only see in them the disinterested warnings of a parting friend, who can possibly have
no personal motive to bias his counsel; nor can I forget, as an encouragement to it,
your indulgent reception of my sentiments on a former and not dissimilar occasion.
Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recom-
mendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment.
PRESERVATION OF THE UNION.
The unity of government, which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to
you. It is justly so; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence —
the support of your tranquillity at home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your
prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee
that, from different causes and from diflerent quarters, much pains will be taken,
many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this
is the pomt m your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external
enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertlv and insidiously)
directed — it is of infinite moment that vou should properly estimate the immense value
of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should
cherish a cordial, habitual and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to
think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watch-
ing for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest
even a suspicion that it can, in any event, be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon
the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest,
or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link tog-'ther the various parts.
For this you have every inducement of svmpathy and interest. Citizens by birth or
choice of a common country, that country has "a right to concentrate your affections. The
name of America, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt
the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.
With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and
political principles. Tou have, in a common cause, fought and triumpheJ together: the
Independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels and joint efforts, of
common dangers, sufferings, and successes.
ENCROACHMENTS BT THE GOVERNMENT.
It is Important, likewise, that the habits of thinking, in a free country, should In-
spire caution in those intrusted with Its administration, to confine themselves within
their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding, in the exeicise of the powers of one
department, to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to cons'olidate
the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of
government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to
abuse it which predominates In the human heart. Is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth
of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power,
by dividing and distributing it Into different depositories, and constituting each the
guardian of the public weal, against Invasio'ns by the others, has been evinced by
experiments, ancient and modern; some of them in our own country, and under our own
eyes. To preserve tl.em must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the opinion
of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be, in any
particular, wrong, let I' be corrected by an amendment In the way which the Constitu-
tion designates. But let there be no change or usurpation; for though this, in one
Instance, may be the Instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free
governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance, in perma-
nent evil, any partial or transient benefit which the use can, at any time, yield.
Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with
all; religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be that good policy does not
equally enjoin It? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, a
great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people
always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence. Who can doubt that, in the course
of times and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary ad-
vantages which might be lost bv a steady adherence to it? Can It be that Providence
has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with Its virtue? The experirnent,
at least, is recommended bv every sentiment which ennobles human nature. Alas! is it
rendered impossible by its vices?
ENTANGLEMENTS WITH FOTIEIGN POWEPvS.
Against the Insidious wiles of foreign Influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-
citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to constantly awake; since history and
experience prove that foreign Influence Is one of the most baneful foes of republican
government. But that jealousy to bj useful, must be Impartial; else it becomes the. in-
strument of the very Influence to be avoided. Instead of a defence against it. Excessive
partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike for another, cause those whom
they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil, and even second, the arts

of jnfiuence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite,
are liaible to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupe^ usurp the applause
^nd confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.
The great rule of conduct for u?, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our
commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far
a^ we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith.
Here let us stop.
Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote
relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are
essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to impli-
cate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the
ordinary combinations and collisions of her f-ipnd?hlps or enmities.
Our detached and distant situation invites- and enables us to pursue a different
course. If we remain one people under an efficient government, the period is not far off
■when w^ may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such
an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon, to be
scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making
acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may
choose peace or war, as our Interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.
PARTING COUNSELS.
In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend,
I dare not hope that they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that
they will control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running
the course which hitherto has marked the destiny of nations; but if I may even flatter my-
self that they may be productive of some pa-tial benefit, some occasional good: that
they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the
mischiefs of fctrelgn intrigues, to gruard against the Impostures of pretended patriotism,
this hope will be full recompense for the solicitude lor your welfare by which they have
teen dictated.
United States, September 17, 1796. GEORGE WASHINGTON.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
"The Monroe doctrine" was enunciated in the following words in President Monroe's message
to Congress December 2, 1823 :
"In the discussions to which this interest has given rise, and in the arrangements by which they
may terminate, the occasion has been deemed proper forasserting, as a priuciple in which rights and
interestsof the United Stales are involved, that the American coutinent.s,by the free and independent
condition which they have assumed and maintain, are hencefortli not to be considered as subjects for
future colonization by auy European power. » « • We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the
amicable relations existiug between the United States and those powers to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to aii.v portion of this hemispheie as dan-
gerous to our peace and safety. With the existiug colonies or dependencies of any European power
we have not interfered and shall uot interfere. But with the governments who have declared their
independence and maintain it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just
principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppre.ssing tliem or
controlling in any other manner their destiny by any European power in any otherlight than as the
manifestation of an unfriendly dispositiou toward the United States. "
Secretary of State Olney in his despatch of July 20,1895,onthe Venezuelan Boundar.v Dispute, said:
"It (the Monroe doctrine) does not establish any general protectorate bj' the United States over
other American States. It does not relieve any American State fiom its obligations as fixed by inter-
national law, nor prevent any European power directly interested from euforciug such obligations or
from inflicting meiMted pnnisliment for the breach of them. ' '
President Roosevelt in a speech in 1902 upon the results of the Spanish-American war, said:
" The Monroe doctrine issimply a statement of our very firm belief that the nations now existing
on this continent must he left to work out their own destinies among themselves, and that this conti-
nent is no longer to he regarded as the colonizing ground of any European power. The one power on
the continent that can make the power effective is, of course, ourselves; for in the world as it is, a
nation which advances a given doctrine, likel.y to interlere in any way with other nations, must pos-
sess the power to back it up, if it wishes the doctrine to be respected."
The United States Senate on August 2, 1912, adopted the following resolution proposed by
Senator Lodge, bv a vote of 51 to 4, the negative votes being those of Senators Cummius of Iowa,
McCnmber of North Dakota, Percy of Mississippi, and Stone of Missouri,
"Resolved That wlien any harbor or other place in the American Continent is so situated that
the occupation thereof for naval or military purposes might threaten the communications nr tlie
safety of the United States, the Government of the United States could not see without grave concern
the possession of such harbor or other place by any corporation or association which has such a
relation to another Government, not American, as to give that Government practical power of cou-
trol for national purposes." _ . ,,.,,,.. ,_ ^ , ,, , ,
Thisaction of the Senate grew out of the report that a stretch of territory borderingon Magdalena
Bav Mexico mi^iit be acquired by the subjects of a foreign country, and thus through their control
by their own national Government become the base of permanent naval or military occupation. In
explanation of the resolution Senator Lodge said: "The declaration rests on a much broader and
older "-round than the Monroe doctrine. This resolution rests on the generally accepted principle
that every nation has a right to protect its own safety ; and if it feels that the possession of any given
harbor or place is prejndical to Its safety, it is its duty and rlglit to intervene " The Senate
added that the opening of the Panama Canal gave to Magdalena Bay an importance that it had
neverbefore possessed, as the Panama routes pass in front of it.
Notbein" a joint resolution rpqnirina the concurrence of the House of Representatives and the
signature of'the Pvpsident. the rpsolntion adopted as above was an expression of opinion of the
Senate only. The other house took no action.

THE UNITED STATES CENSUS.
THE Constitution requires that a census of the
"United States shall be taken decennially. The first
census was taken In 1790 under the supervision of
the President; subsequent censuses, to and Including
that of 1840, were taken under the supervision of
the Secretary of State. In 1849 the administration
of the census work was transferred to the newly or-
ganized Department of the Interior, where it re-
mained until the passage, In 1903, of the act creating
the Department of Commerce and Labor, by which
act the Census Bureau was transferred to the new
department. Meanwhile Congress, by act approved
March 6. 1902, had made the Census Office a per-
manent bureau of the Government. Since March
4 1913. when the Department of Commerce and
the Department of Labor were separately organized,
the Bureau of the Census has been attached to the
former department. . , ^ ^ .
The work of the Census Bureau Is divided mto
two main branches, namely, the decenni.al census
and special statistical inquiries, the latter mostly
made in the Intervals between the decennial cen-
suses The thirteenth decennial census was taken
as of date April 15, 1910. It covered four main sub-
jects: (1) population, (2) agriculture, (3) manufac-
tures, and (4) mines, quarries, and oil and gas wells.
The results of this census have been published
and have been used wherever available for the
tables ol the present Almanac and those preceding
It. The aggregate cost of the census of 1910 was
about 814,290,000, in addition to which 51,675,000
was spent in carrying on the annual investigations
of the permanent bureau during the census period.
Of this amount §7,200,000 represents the cost of
collecting the data through the employment of over
70,000 paid enumerators, besides supervisors, clerks,
and special agents The balance is the cost of tabu-
lating and publishing the results. A more detailed
account of the census of 1910 is given in the 1911
issue of THE World almanac.
The permanent work of the Census Bureau Is
provided for by the act of Congress approved March
6, 1902, and amendments thereto. These acts au-
thorize and direct the bureau to make statistical
Inquiries regarding the Insane, feeble-minded, deaf
and dumb, and blind; crime, pauperism, and benevo-
lence; deaths and births In the areas maintaining
adequate registration systems; social and financial
statistics of cities; wealth, debt and taxation; re-
ligious bodies; electric light and jiower, telephones
and telegraphs, and street and electric railways;
transportation by water; cotton produced, consumed,
imported, exported, and on liand, and active cotton
spindles; stocks of leaf tobacco held by manufac-
turers and dealers. The statistics of deaths (which
now cover more than two-thirds of the population),
of cities, of cotton produced, consumed, etc., and
of tobacco stocks, are secured annually; the other
statistics mentioned are collected at Intervals of
five or ten years, but not in connection with the
regular decennial censuses. The act of 1902 also
provides for a census of manufactures in the fifth,
year Intervening between the decennial censuse.s.
The Director of the Census is appointed by the
President of the United States and receives a salary
of $6,000 per annum. The present director is Samuel
L. Rogers of North Carolina. The permanent of-
fice organization includes a chief clerk, William L.
Austin; four chief statisticians — for Population
William C. Hunt; for Manufactures, William M.
Steuart: for Statistics of States and Cities, Starke
M. Grogan, and for Vital Statistics, Richard G.
Lappln; a geographer, Charles S. Sloane, and nine
chiefs o' division. Tlie entire number of employes
in the bureau at Washington Is now about 600; in
addition there are about 70: special agents employed
intermittently in the Southern .States for the col-
lection of cotton statistics. The number of em-
ployes in Washington was greatly increased during
the decennial census; in August, 1910, it was more
than 3,700, in addition to field employes.
TELESCOPES.
There are two kinds of telescopes, viz., refracting and reflecting. In the former the rays of
light are made to converge to a focus by lenses, while In the latter they are made to converge by
being reflected from the surface of a slightly concaved, highly polished mirror.
The chief disadvantages of refracting telescopes are the chromatic and spherical aberrations
of the lenses. In reflecting telescopes these aberrations can be done away with by using parabolic
mirrors, but the great objection to the latter are the many mechanical dlfiQcultles that have to be
o vGrcornc
Owing to the travelling of the earth In Its orbit and revolving about Its axis, stars If viewed by
a fixed telescope would soon disappear. It is thus necessary that a telescope be mounted so a star
will always be In Its field. This Is accomplished by using an eq'v.atorlal mounting.
In an equatorial mounting there are two axes, one called the "polar" that Is parallel to the
axis of the earth, and the othor the "declination" at right angles to it. Hence, when a star is to be
followed, the telescope Is clamped In position, and by means of clockwork follows the star so it
always remains In view. , . , ,_ , .
The magnllylng power of telescopes Is generally expressed in diameters, the practical limit of
power being 100 diameters per Inch of diameter of the telescope. Thus the 36-lneh telescope at
the Lick Observatory may give a magnifying power of 3.600 diameters. But such high power can
only be used In a very clear atmo;phere, and consequently most astronomical observations are
made at 1,000 diameters. „
REFRACTING TELESCOPES.
The largest In the world are In the United States. The one at Yerkes Observatory, Geneva
Lake, Wis , has an object lens 40 Inches In diameter with a focal length of 64 feet. The movable
part of the Instrument turning on the polar axis weighs about 12 tons, and the clock 1 MJ tons. Other
large telescopes are the 36-inch at Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamilton, Cal , where many Important
.tstronomlcal discoveries have been made; the 2(i-lnch at the V. S. Observatory, Washington, D. C ,
and the 24-lnch belonging to Harvard University. There la a 30-lnch refracting telescope at the
Alleghenv Observatory, Rlvervlew Park. Pa. ^ ^
Abroad is the 30-Inch at the Imperial Observatory, Pulovak (near Petrograd), Russia.
This telescope has a platform at the lower end of the polar axis, from which observers can readily
operate the Instrument. The Meudon Observatory (near Paris, France) has a 32-lnch, the Potsdam,
Prussia, a 3l-lnch, and the Royal Observatory, at Greenwich, England, a 2«-lnch, There Is a 32-
incb at the Nicolaieff Observatory of Russia.
REFLECTING TELESCOPES.
One of the most perfect instruments ever built is at Mt. Wilson Observatory, Pasadena, Cal. The
mirror Is silver on glass, 60 inches In diameter, and weighs nearly a ton. The telescope Is moved by electric
motors In right' ascension and declination. An Important feature in this Instrument is the different focal
lengths that can be obtained. The 60-inch mirror has a 25-foot focus, but by a suitable arrangement of
mirrors It is possible to get focal lengths of 80, 100 and 150 feet. At the same observatory is a 100-inch re-
flector the tube with the mirror at the bottom is 43 feet long, and with the mountings weighs nearly 20
tons There Is a 36-lnch reflector at Lick Observatory, Harvard University has a 28-inch and a 60-inch,
and at the Yerkes Observatory is a 24-inch. , „ , ^ , ^ ,., ,. , „«.,..
Other notable reflectors are the Lord Rosse, at Birr Castle, Ireland, which has a mirror 72 inches In
diameter of speculum metal and a focal length of 54 feet, a 48-Inch at Melbourne. Australia, a 60-Inch at
Ealing England, a 48-lnch at Paris, France, and a 39-lnch at Meudon, France. The contract tor the con-
struction of a 60-inch reflecting telescope for the National Observatory at Cordoba, Argentina, was awarded
in 19"^ Work was started installing a 72-inch reflector in the Dominion Astronomical Observatory, Vic-
toria li. C, Canada.

THE NATIONAL FLAC.
The official flag of the Uhlted States bears forty-eight white stars In a blue field arranged in six rows
of eight stars each. Two stars were added in 1912 by the adinisslon of Arizona and New Mexico to the
Union. The garrison flag of the Army is made of bunting, thirty-six feet fly and twenty feet hoist, thirteen
stripes, and in the upper quarter, next the staff, is the field or "union" of stars, equal to the number of
States, on blue field, over one-third length of the flag, extending to tlie lower edge of the fourth red stripe
from the top. The storm flag is twenty feet by ten feet, and the recruiting flag nine feet nine inches by four
feet four Inches The "Union Jack" is blue with a star for every State in white The Coast Uuaid
flag, authorized by act of Congress, March 2, 1799, was originally prescribed to "consist of sixteen
perpendicular stripes, alternate red and white, the union of the ensign bearing the arms of the United States
In dark blue on a white field " The sixteen stripes represented the number of States which had been ad-
mitted to the Union at that time, and no change has been made since. June 14, the anniversary of the
adoption of the flag, is celebrated as Flag Day in a large part of the Union.
The National flag should be hoisted preferably at, but not earlier than sunrise, and never later than
8 o'cloclt. When the National and State or other flags fly together the National flag should be on the right.
When used on a bier or casltet at a funeral the stars should be placed at the head. In no case should tlie
flag be allowed to touch the ground. The statutes of the United States forbid the use of the flag in
registered trade-marks, and the use of the flag for advertising purposes is illegal.
The President's flag consists of a blue background, in the centre of which appears the seal of the United
States.
The flag of Admiral of U. S. Navy is blue with four white stars — two horizontal and two perpendicular
In centre.
Tlie flag of Vice-.\dmiral of U. S. Navy is blue with three white stars — triangular.
The flag of the Secretary of the Navy is blue with two white stars (perpendicular) at either end and
white anchor in centre.
The consular flag is blue with large white C in centre, surrounded by thirteen white stars.
The flag of the Panama Canal consists of a blue square bearing the letters "P. C" in white.
The flag of New York State is blue charged with the arms of the State. The flag of New York City
consists of three perpendicular lines, blue, white, and orange (the blue nearest the flag staff); on the white
bar ia the seal of the city, without the legend.
THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.

LIFEBOAT REQUIREMENTS.
Under date of August 17, 1916, the Steamboat Inspection Service of the Department of Commerce
Issued the following:
The Board of Supervising Inspectors at its meeting of January, 1916, revised all of the rules for life-
boat requirements, for publication in four parts, namely; (1) Ocean and Coastwise, (2) Great Lakes, (3)
Lakes other than the Great Lakes, Bays, and Sounds, (4) Rivera.
Only one of these parts is ready for distribution, which is for ocean and coastwise vessels.
Owing to the Seamen's Act, approved March 4, 1915, the rules for lifeboat requirements are very com-
plex and extensive, and vary for the different classes of waters, and the bureau must decline to prepare a
short statement of lifeboat requirements for publication, owing to the necessar" i^^'^mnleteness of any such
statement.
National Rivers and Harbors Congress. 97
THE SINGLE TAX.
The foUowtng statement of the single tax principle was written by Henry George, Sr.:
We assert aa our fundamental principle the self-evident truth enunciated in the Declaration of
American Independence, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain
Inalienable rights. We hold that all men are equally entitled to the use and enjoyment of what God
has created and of what Is gained by the general growth and Improvement of the community of which
they are a part. Therefore, no one should be permitted to hold natural opportunities without a fair
return to all for any special privilege thus accorded to him, and that value which the growth and
Improvement of the community attaches to land should be taken for the use of the community: that
each Is entitled to all that his labor produces; therefore, no tax should be levied on the products of
labor.
To carry out these principles, we are In favor of raising all public revenues for national. State,
county, and munlcl:>al purposes by a single tax upon land values. Irrespective of Improvements, and
of the abolition of all other forms of direct and Indirect taxation.
Since in all our States we now levy some tax on the value of land, the single tax can be Instituted
by the simple and easy way of abolishing, one after another, all other taxes now levied and com-
mensurately Increasing the tax on land values until we draw upon that one source for all expenses of
government, the revenue being divided between local government. State government, and the general
government, as the revenue from direct taxes Is now divided between the local and State governments,
or by a direct assessment being made by the general government upon the States and paid by them
from revenues collected In this manner. The single tax we propose Is not a tax on land, and therefore
would not fall on the use of land and become a tax on labor.
It Is a tax not on land, but on the value of land. Thus It would not fall on all land, but only on
valuable land, and on that not In proportion to the use made of It, but In proportion to Its value — the
premium which the user of land must pay to the owner, either In purchase money or rent, for permis-
sion to use valuable land. It would thus be a tax not on the use and Improvement of land, but on the
ownership of land, taking what would otherwise go to the owner as owner, and not as user.
In assessments under the single tax all values created by Individual use or Improvement would
be excluded, and the only value taken Into consideration would be the value attaching to the bare
land by reason of neighborhood, etc., to be determined by Impartial periodical assessments. Thus
the farmer would have no more taxes to pay than the speculator who held a similar piece of land Idle,
and the man who on a city lot erected a valuable building would be taxed no more than the man
who held a similar lot vacant. The single tax In short would call upon men to contribute to the
public revenues not In proportion to what they produce or accumulate, but In proportion to the
value of the natural opportunities they hold. It would compel them to pay just as much for holding
land Idle as for putting It to Its fullest use. The single tax, therefore, would —
1st. Take the weight of taxation off the agricultural districts, where land has little or no value.
Irrespective of Improvements, and put It on towns and cities, where bare land rises to a value of
millions of dollars per acre. ^ , ^ . ... . ,,.
2d. Dispense with a multiplicity of taxes and a horde of tax-gatherers, simplify government,
and greatly reduce its cost. , ,,. , ,,, .
3d Do away with the fraud, corruption, and gross Inequality Inseparable from our present
methods of taxation, which allow the rich to escape while they grind the poor. Land cannot be hid
or carried off, and Its value can be ascertained with greater ease and certainty than any other.
4th. Give us with all the world as perfect freedom of trade as now exists between the States of
the Union, thus enabling our people to share through free exchanges In all the advantages which
nature has given to other countries, or which the peculiar skill of other peoples has enabled them to
attain. It would destroy the trusts, monopolies, and corruptions which are the outgrowths of the
tariff. It would do away with the fines and penalties now levied on any one who Improves a farm,
erects a house, builds a machine, or In any way adds to the general stock of wealth. It would leave
every one free to apply labor or expend capital In production or exchange without fine or restriction,
and would leave to each the full product of his exertion.
5th. It would, on the other hand, by taking for public use that value which attaches to land by
reason of the growth and Improvement of the community, make the holding of land unprofitable to
the mere owner and profitable only to the user. It would thus make It Impossible for speculators and
monopolists to hold natural opportunities unused or only half used, and would throw open to labor
the Illimitable field of employment which the earth offers to man. It would thus solve the labor
problem do away with Involuntary poverty, raise wages In all occupations to the full earnings of
labor, make overproduction Impossible until all human wants are satisfied, render labor-saving In-
ventions a blessing to all, and cause such an enormous production and such an equitable distribution
of wealth as would give to all comfort, leisure, and participation In the advantages of an advancing
civilization, In securing to each Individual equal right to the use of the earth. It Is also a proper
function of society to maintain and control all public ways for the transportation of persons and
property, and the transmission of Intelligence; and also to maintain and control all public ways In
cities tor furnishing water, gas, and all other things that necessarily require the use of such common
ways.

ADDITIONAL POSTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS — Continued.
2. Seeds transmitted by the Secretary of Agriculture, or by any Member of Congress, proetired from
that department.
3. Letters and packages relating exclusively to the business of the Government of the United States,
mailed only by offlcers of the same, and letters and parcels mailed by the Smithsonian Institution. All
these must be covered by specially printed "penalty" envelopes or labels.
4. The Vice-President, Members and Members-elect and Delegates and Delegates-elect to Congress
may frank any mall matter to any Government ofBclal or to any person correspondence, not over four ounces
In weight, upon official or departmental business.
All communications to Government offlcers and to Members of Congress are required to be prepaid
by stamps unless Inclosed in "penalty" envelopes furnished for replies.
Suggestions to the Public — Mall all letters, etc., as early as practicable, especially when sent In large
numbers, as Is frequentlv the case with newspapers and circulars. •
All mall matter at large post-offlces Is necessarily handled In great haste and should therefore In all
cases be so plainly addressed as to leave no room for doubt and no excuse for error on the part of
postal emplovfe. Names of States should be written In full In order to prevent errors which arise from the
similarity of "such abbreviations as Cal., Col.; Pa., Va., Vt.: Me., Mo., Md.; loa., Ind.: N. H., N. M.. N. Y.,
N. J., N. C, D. C; Miss., Minn., Mass.; Nev., Neb.; Penn., Tenn., etc., when hastily or careles.sly
written. This Is especially necessary In addressing mall matter to places of which the names are borne by
several post-offlces In different States.
Avoid as much as possible using envelopes made of flimsy paper, especially where more than one sheet
of paper, or any other article than paper. Is Inclosed. Being often handled, and even In the mall-bags
subject to pressure, such envelopes not Infrequently split open, giving cause of complaint.
Never send money or any other article of value through the mall except either by means of a money
order or In a registered letter or by Insured parcel post. Any person who sends money or valuables other-
wise not only runs a risk of losing his property, but exposes to temptation every one through whose hands
his letter passes, and may be the means of ultimately bringing some clerk or letter-carrier to ruin.
See that every letter or package bears the full name and post-offlce address of the writer. In order to
secure the return of the letter If the person to whom It Is directed cannot be found. A much larger portion
of the undelivered letters could be returned If the names and addresses of the senders were always fully and
plainly written or printed on the envelopes. Persons who have large correspondence find it most convenient
to use "special request envelopes;" but those who only mail an occasional letter can avoid much trouble
by writing a request to "return If not dehvered," etc., on the envelope.
When dropping a letter, newspaper, etc.. Into a street malllng-box, or Into the receptacle at a post-
offlce, always see that the packet falls Into the box and does not stick In Its passage; observe, also, particu-
larly, whether the postage stamps remain securely In their places.
Postage stamps should be placed on the upper right-hand corper of the addressed side of all mall matter.
Imitations of postage stamps are not permissible on mall matter.
Space should be left on the addresB side of all mall matter sufficient for a legible address and for all
directions permissible thereon, for postage stamps, for postmarking, rating, and any words necessary for
forwarding or return. Watermarks or printing In light tints which do not render the reading of the address
difficult will be permitted.
The street and number (or box number) should form a part of the address of all mall matter directed
to cities. In most cities there are many persons, and even firms, bearing the same name. Before depositing
any package or other article for mailing, the sender should assure himself that it is wrapped and packed In
the manner prescribed by postal regulations; that It does not contain umnailable matter nor exceed the
limit of weight as fixed by law; and that it Is fully prepaid and properly addressed.
It Is unlawful to send an ordinary letter by express or otherwise outside of the mails unless It be Inclosed
In a Government-stamped envelope of sufficient value to pay the postage to which it Is subject. It Is also
unlawful to Inclose a letter In an express package unless it pertains wholly to the contents of the package.
It Is forbidden by the regulations of the Post-Offlce Department for postmasters to give any person
Information concerning the mall matter of another, or to disclose the name of a box-holder at a post-offlce.
Letters addressed to persons temporarily sojourning In a city where the Free Delivery System is In
operation should be marked "Transient" or "General Delivery," If not addressed to a street and number
or some other designated place of delivery.
Foreign books, etc.. Infringing United States copyright are undelitierable 11 received In foreign malls, or
mailed here.

INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD.
Headqttahters, 164 West Washington St., Chicago, III. Wm. D. Haywood, General Secretary-
Treasurer; Joseph J. Ettor, Assistant Secretary and General Organizer. Executive Board — F. H. Little,
A. C. Christ, M. J. Welsh, FrancLs Miller, W. E. Mattingly.
Preamble — The working class and the employing class have nothing In common.
Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a
class, take possession of the earth and the machinery of production, and abolish the wage system.
We find that the centring of the management of industries into fewer and fewer hands makes
the trades unions unable to cope with the ever-growing power of the employing class. The trades
unions foster a state of affairs which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set oj
workers in the same Industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars. Moreover, the
trades unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that the working class
have Interests in common with their employers.
These conditions can be changed and the Interest of the working class upheld only by an orgg,n-
Ization formed In such a way that all its members In any one Industry, or In all Industries, If necessary,
cease work whenever a strike or lockout Is on In any department thereof, thus making an Injury
to one an Injury to all.
Instead of the conservative motto, "A fair day's wages for a fair day's work, ' we must Inscribe
on our banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abolition of the wage system."
It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production
must be organized, not only for the every day struggle with capitalists but also to carry on pro-
duction when capitalism shall have been overthrown. By organizing Industrially we are forming
the structure of the new society within the shell of the old.
The organization differs from syndicalism In that great stress is laid upon having a form of
organization to correspond, cell for cell, tissue for tissue, with capitalist Industry itself, and also
because it seeks to build a new union on revolutionary lines rather than to attempt to change the
present reactionary and out-of-date craft unions. The organization claims to have blended the
practical features of socialism, anarchism, and syndicalism, and yet It is distinct from all three.
The I. W. W. is composed of 535 recruiting and Industrial unions, having a total membership of 85,000,
five national administrations — Hawaiian, Australian, New Zealand, Great Britain, and South African.
Excerpts from Constitution and By-Laws follow:
The Industrial Workers of the World shall be composed of actual wage-workers brought together
In an organization embodying thirteen national industrial departments, national industrial unions,
local Industrial unions, local recruiting unions. Industrial councils, and individual members.
The annual convention of the Industrial Workers of the World shall be held on the third Monday
of September each year at such place as may be determined by previous convention.
Members-at-large shall pay an Initiation fee of S2.00 and SI. 00 per month dues and assessments.
No working man or woman shall be excluded from membership In local unions because of creed or color.
That to the end of promoting Industrial unity and of securing necessary discipline within the
organization, the Industrial Workers of the World refuse all alliances, direct or Indirect, with existing
political parties or antl-polltlcal sects.

Preamble — The working class and the employing class have nothing In common.
Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the toilers come together on the political field
under the banner of a distinct revolutionary political party governed by the workers' class interests, and on
the Industrial field under the banner of One Great Industrial Union to take and hold all means of produc-
tion and distribution, and to run them for the benefit of all wealth producers.
The rapid gathering of wealth and the centring of the management of Industries Into fewer ana
fewer hands make the trades unions unable to cope with the ever-growing power of the employing
class because the trades unions foster a state of things which allows one set of workers to be pitted
against another set of workers In the same Industry, thereby helping defeat one another In wage wars.
The trades unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers Into the belief that the working
class have interests in common with their employers.

In America In a given Industry. , . , . », _ „i, v,._

unions of closely kindred industries in the appropriate organizations for representation In the depart-
mental administration. The departments Included are: Department of Mlnhig Industry: -Trans.

So diverse are the views on Syndicalism held by
Syndicalists and their avowed enemies that a mid-
dle course will give a clearer outline of Its alms and
expectations than would a full statement drawn
from the many and conflicting reports available to
date.
Syndicalism was bom of the growing differences
and controversies within labor and trade unions.
The first symptoms appeared in France, whence the
doctrine soon spread to Italy, to England and thence
to America. Syndicalism Is antagonistic to govern-
ment, to existing labor unions and to capital alUte,
and is even designed to supplant socialism.
Born In the brain of the intellectuals within the
great unions. Syndicalism has made a profound Im-
pression upon workers within and without the
unions in a remarkably short time. The doctrine of
Syudicalism demands the turning over of every and
all means of production and distribution to the
Syndicalist trade unions, to be controlled by said
unions so that the workmen will become their own
employers, th«s securing the whole product for
themselves. The first objective aim is to eliminate
the present owners, but means to accomplish this
vary.
In France the Syndicalists adopt the general
"strike," but in a different sense from which strikes
are known in America. For Instance, the Syndicalists
strike not for higher wages. Primarily they aim at
the total cessation from all activity, stoppage of
mails, lighting, transportation and every activity
that now binds society together. They depend upon
non-interference or co-operation of the army (in
Europe) and upon crippling the power of all estab-
lished government wherever the army is not a fac-
tor. They rely upon the consequent uprising of all
society wherever active Syndicalism prevails, and
trust to the peaceful reapportionment of all au-
thority and rights to the associated labor and trade
unions true to the doctrine of Syndicalism.
SYNDICALISM.
The government is regarded as the greatest enemy
by the Syndicalists. They claim that corrupt po-
litical control makes just economic control impos-
sible. While the objects to be attained seem reason-
able enough, the means of accomplishing these ob-
jects are dangerously speculative and appear to
threaten society with anarchy In its direst form.
Syndicalism demands that social revolution come
through labor unions in order to abolish capitalism,
wlvereaa Socialists expect to work reform by political
agitation through Parliamentary majorities. Syn-
dicalists see the futility of all endeavor to obtain
government majorities and hence ignore the govern-
ment altogether in their propaganda, relying upon
the genius of Syndicalism to permeate the mind of
the masses sufficiently to sap the strength and power
of government opposition and thus obtain all their
demands by a bloodless revolution.
Prior to the war France had approximately 600,000
avowed Syndicalists. Agricultural Italy was a ver-
itable hotbed of Syndicalism. Organized farm la-
borers controlled over 200,000 acres of tillable land,
which were farmed on the co-operative plan, and
the entire Italian railway system was under the in-
fluence of advanced Syndicalism.
At a conference of Syndicalists held in England in
November, 1910. 60,000 professed followers at-
tended, since which date their doctrine has spread
considerably, especially among the more Intelligent
of the industrial workers.
Here in America Syndicalism first showed its head
during the labor troubles at Lawrence, Mass., under
direction of the Industrial Workers of the World.
The Syndicalists have also widened and extended
the definition of the word labor by including in its
comprehension all workers who are actively useful
within the community. This includes the physician,
teacher, artist, and those engaged in other profes-
sions.

was secured by the board, forty-five cases having been settled by mediation alone, while eleven were settled
by arbitration.

THE NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION.
OFFICE. 1 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK.
AN organization of prominent representatives of capital, labor, and the general public formed in 1900
as the direct outgrowth of conventions held in Chicago and New York in 1898-1899. Its purpose is to
organize the best brains of the Nation in an educational movement seeking the solution of some of the great
problems related to social and industrial progress; to provide for study and discussion of questions of national
import; to aid thus in the crystallization of the most enlightened public opinion; and. when desirable, to
promote legislation in accordance therewith. National organizations of manufacturers, farmers, wage-
earners, bankers, lawyers, economists, scientists, churchmen, merchants, trade and transportation repre-
sentatives and many other class societies meet frequently to discuss their respective interests. The object
of The National Civic Federation, in addition to creating departments to study national problems, is to
provide a means by which all these elements of society may come together and consider questions in which
they have a common interest.

bottom width of the channel in this project is 649
feet, and the minimum width is 300 feet. The Canal
has a minimum depth of 41 feet. The time required
for the passage of a ship of medium size through
the entire length of the Canal is estimate(j at from
9 1-2 to 10 hours, and for larger vessels from 10 1-2
to 11 hours.
Tihe Gatun Dam along the crest is 8,000 feet long,
including the spillway, or about 1 1-2 miles, and 2,100
feet wide at its greatest width. The crest of the dam
is at an elevation of 115 feet above sea level, or 30
feet above the normal level of Gatun Lake, and 100
feet wide. The width of the dam at the normal water
lei'el of the lake, i. e., 85 feet above sea level, is about
388 feet.
The Panama Canal was opened to navigation on
Augu,st 15, 1914.
The actual construction cost at present estimated
for completing the Canal is $325,201,000. wWch In-
cludes 320,053,000 for sanitation and $7,382,000 for
civil administration. These figures do not include
the 850,000,000 paid to the New French Canal Com-
pany and to the Republic of Panama for property
and franchises. Hence It Is estimated tliat the total
construction cost of the Canal to the United States
will approximate 5375,000,000.
Appropriations by Congress to March 31, 1916,
5379,960,275 (which Includes appropriations for
other than construction purposes) ; fortiflcations,
•514.689,873: total credits by United States Treasury
to March 31, 1916, 5394,650,149.
TRAFFIC FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE
30, 1916.
Covering the fiscal year from July 1, x915, to June
30, 1916, and showing the number of vessels passing
through the Canal In each direction:
The number of ocean-going vessels nassing through
the Canal during the period from July 1, 1915, to
June 30, 1916, inclusive, was 787. Their aggregate
net tonnage, according to the rules for the mea.sure-
ment of vessels for the Panama Canal, was 2,479,761.
The total quantity of cargo carried through the
Canal on these ships was 3,140,046 tons. The
aggregate of the tolls collected from the ships was
52,399.830.42. The total amount expended on
account of the operation and maintenance of the
Canal was 86,999,750.15, leaving a deficit In the
account of 54,599.919.73. The largest item in the
operation and maintenance costs is the charge for
dredging, which Is slightly over one-half of the
total. The dredging in Gaillard Cut cost
53,513,350.06, and the total dredging charge in
thus account was 53,560,016.04. This is just about
twice the charge for the preceding fiscal year, which
was 51,769,475.59. The increased cost In this matter
was due to the slides on both banks of the Canal
north of Gold and Contractor's Hills, which caused
the suspension of traffic from the middle of Septem-
ber, 1915, to the middle of April, 1916, and the
consequent great falling off in the amount of tolla
collected for the year.
The number of ships which passed through the
Canal during the fiscal year 1915 (the Canal was
opened to commercial traffic for the first time on
August 15, 1914) was 1,088. TheU- aggregate net
tonnage was 3,843,035. The cargo they carried
through the Canal amounted to 4,969,792 tons.
Their tolls amounted to 54,343,383.69, aiter all
refunds had been made.
For convenience the traffic In the two years
may be compared in this form:

Distances from New York to San Francisco by water, former route. 13,135 miles; via Panama Canal,
5,262 miles. New York to Hawa4i, former all-water route, 12.800 miles; by Canal. 7,000 miles. New
York to Manila via Hawaii, former route, 17,800 miles; by Canal, 12,000 miles.
The Canal brings Callao 4.320 miles nearer Liverpool by steamer, reducing the distance from 10,230
miles to 5,910 miles and saving about 14 days In time. To Valparaiso the shortening in distance is 1,813
miles, mailing It 7,185 Instead of 8,998, and the saving in time is about 6 days. By its means tlie United
States has an all-sea route, which is from 2.500 to 3,000 miles shorter than routes from Europe. New York,
via the Canal, is 3,779 miles from Caiiao, Instead of 9,769 as formerly, while New Orleans is only 3.264
miles from Caiiao.
Between New York and Yokohama the reduction is 3,729 miles, and that Japanese city is brought
nearer to New York than Liverpool by 1,805 miles. Shanghai is 1,629 miles nearer to New York. Sydney,
Aiistralla, is 3,806 miles nearer to New York, and the distance between the two cities is 2.382 miles less
than the distance between Sydney and Liverpool. Wellington, New Zealand, is 2,542 miles nearer New
York, and the distance between them is 2.759 miles less than between Wellington and Liverpool. Between
New Zealand and Europe there is an average saving of 1.600 miles. — (From United States Consular Report.)
PANAMA CANAL TOLL RATES.
1. On merchant vessels carrying passengers or cargo, one dollar and twenty cents (SI. 20) per
net vessel ton — each one hundred (100) cubic feet — of actual earning capacity.
2. On vessels In ballast without passengers or cargo, forty (40) per cent, less than the rate of
tolls for vessels with passengers or cargo.
3. Upon naval vessels, other than transports, colliers, hospital ships, and supply ships, fifty
(50) cents per displacement ton.
4. Upon Army and Navy transports, colliers, hospital ships and supply ships, one dollar and
twenty cents (?1.20) per net ton, the vessels to be measured by the same rules as are employed In
determining the net tonnage of merchant vessels.
The Panama Canal Act of 1912, providing for the permanent government of the Canal Zone
and other regulations, was amended in a bill signed hv the President on June 15, 1914, known as the
"Panama Tolls Exemption Repeal Bill." whereby the clause exempting American coastwise ves-
sels from paying tolls was repealed. Full text of the Panama Canal Act of 1912 was printed In the
1914 edition of The World Almanac.
PANAMA CANAL NEUTRAL.
ALL NAVIES OF THE WORLD MAY USE IT DURING WAR.
It Is provided by treaties that the Panama Canal, like the Suez Canal, shall remain absolutely
neutral. It "shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and war of all nations and shall never
be blockaded, nor shall any right of war be exercised nor any act of hostility be committed within It."
Strict rules of neutrality have been devised for the passage of war vessels of the nations en-
gaged In conflict. The warships will be compelled to pass through with the least possible delay and
with only such Intermissions as may result from the necessities of the service.
No belligerent may "embark or disembark troops, munitions of war or warlike materials In the
Canal, except in the case of accidental hindrance of the transit, and In such case the transit shall be
resumed with all possible despatch."
The treaty provides that no warship will have the right to exercise the law of search on a com-
mercial ship in transit through the Canal and the provision likewise protects all ships within three
marine miles of either terminal.
Ships carrying contraband either In the Atlantic or Pacific do so at their own risk, but warships
may not remain In the three-mile zone longer than twenty-four hours, and the treaty stipulates
that "a vessel of one belligerent shall not depart within twenty-four hours from the departure of a
vessel of war of the other belligerent."
ANIERICAN SCENIC AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION SOCIETV.
The society was founded by Andrew H. Green. Incorporated In 1895. and Is a National society for
the protection of natural scenery, the preservation of historic landmarks and the Improvement of cities.
President — Geo. F. Kunz. Secretary — Edw. H. Hail, 154 Nassau St., New York. Treasurer — N. T. Phillips.
TERRITORIAL EXPANSION OF THE UNITED STATES.
Additions to the original territory of the Union, include Alaska. Hawaiian and Philippine
Islands, Samoa and Guam, in tiie Pacific, and Porto Rico and Pine Islands, in the West Indies,
and the Panama Canal Zone. The vrea of the original thirteen States (years 1783-1817) comprised
892,135 square miles.
The additions to the territory of the United States subsequent to the peace treaty with Great
Britain of 1783 are shown by the following table:

Payments for above were made by the United .States as follows: Louisiana purchase, $15,440,000;
Gadsden purchase, $10,000,000; Alaska. $7,200,000; Florida, $5,000,000; Hawaiian Islands, pub-
lic debt assumed to the amount of $4,000,OOo.
By treaty of February 2, 1848, a payment of §8,250,000 was made to Mexico in consideration of
the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States, as defined in that treaty.
The treaty of Paris, of December 10, 1898, terminating the Spanish- American war, provided for
a money payment to Spain (for relinquishing claim to Porto Rico, Guam and Philippine Islands) of
,$20,000,000, and a subsequent treaty of November 7, 1900, provided for a further payment of $100,-
000 for other Philippine Islands.
liv the first treaty the Philippine Islands were ceded to the United States, and the later treaty of
November 7, 1900, ceded certain outlying islands of the Philippines not included in the first cession.
A payment of 810,000,000 was made to the Republic of Panama under treaty stipulations govern-
ing the control of the Panama Canal strip.
No money payments were made upon the acquisition of the other Territories mentioned in the
list.
The United States did not acquire, by the Isthmian Canal Convention of November 18, 1903, any
title to territory in the Republic of Panama, but merely a perpetual right of occupation, use, and
control of and over a zone of land ten miles in width. For this privilege it paid to tbe Republic of
Panama the sum of $10,Ooo,000, and undertook to pay the sum of $250,000 annually so long as such
occupancy continued, such payments beginning on February 26, 1913.
INSULAR POSSESSIONS OF THE UNITED STATES.
THE PHILIPPINES.
The Philippine Islands, lying oft the southern
coast of Asia, between Formosa and Borneo, In
longitude 116° 40' and 126° 34' E., and latitude 4°
40' and 21° 3' N., embrace 3,14i Islands and Islets,
of which only 1,668 are named. They are bounded
on the north by the China Sea, east by the Pacific
Ocean, south by the Celebes Sea and Borneo, west
by China Sea. The climate is one of the best in Dhe
tropics. The thermometer during July and August
rarely goes below 79° or above 85°. The extreme
ranges In the year are said to be 61° and 97°, and the
annual me.an 81°. The total land area is about 115,-
026 square miles. The two islands, with areas ex-
ceeding 10,000 square miles each, are Luzon, 40,969,
being about the size of New York, and Mindanao,
with 36.292 square miles. The only other islands
having areas of over 1,000 square miles are:
Samar 5,031 Paragua. . .4,027 Cebu 1,762
Negros. . . .4,881 Mindoro.. .3,851 Bohol 1,441
Panay 4,611 Leyte 2,722 Masbate. . . 1,236
There are twenty Islands, each having areas be-
tween 100 and 1,000 square miles, seventy-three be-
tween 10 and 100, and 262 betiyeen 1 and 10 square
miles, and the remaining 2,775 have areas of less
than a square mile each.
Population.
The census of 1903 showed a population of 7,635,-
426, of whom about 9 per cent., or 647,740 are non-
Christians, and nearly seven millions are more or
less civilized. The estimated population for 1915
was 8,937,597. Racially the people are principally
of Malay stock. The civilized tribes are practically
all adherents of the Catholic Church, the religion
being introduced Into the country by the Spaniards
when they took possession of the Islands in 1565.
The Moros are Mohammedans and the other wild
peoples have no recognized religious beliefs. The
wild tribes form about 10 per cent, of the entire
population.
There are about twenty-flve different tribes In
the Islands speaking some one of nineteen dialects,
the most populous tribe being the Visayans, who
constitute 47 per cent, of the entire civilized popu-
lation; second, Tagalogs, 20 per cent,; third, Ilocanos,
about 10 per cent.; Bicols, 7 per cent.; Pangaslnan,
6 per cent.; Pampangan, 5 per cent.; Cagayan, 3 per
cent., and Zambalan, 2 per cent.
The Islands with large populations are: Luzon,
with 3,798,507 inhabitants, of whom 223,506 are un-
civilized; Panay, 743,646 (14,933 unclviUzed) ; Cebu,
592,247 (all civilized); Mindanao, 499,634 (252,940
unclviUzed); Negros, 460,776 (21,217 uncivilized);
Leyte, 357,641 (all clvUized); Bohol, 243,148 (all
civilized); Samar, 222,690 (688 uncivilized). The
capital of the Archipelago is Manila, with 266,943
Inhabitants. Other towns are: In Luzon, Bauan
(39,094), Lipa (37,934), Laoag (34,454), Batangas
(33,131), San Carlos (27,166), Tabaco (21,946), hi
Samar, Calbayog (15,895); in Panay, Janluay (20,-
738), Miagao (20,656), Hollo (19,054); in Cebu.
Argao (35,448), Cebu (31,079), Barlll (31,617), Car-
car (31,895), Sibonga (25,848); In Leyte, Baybay
(22,990), Ormoc (16,128).
The density of population In the Philippines
is about 74 per square mile; that of Java is not less
than 595; that of the continental United States is
about 31 per square mile. There are about 20,000
Americans and Europeans In the Islands, including
troops, while the number of Chinese is estimated at
50,000.
EDtJCATION.
Education has been practically reorganized by
the Americans. The total annual enrolment for the
year 1915 is 610,519. The total number of .schools
Is 4,284. Altogether 803 permanent school buildings
of all classes have been completed since the begin-
ning of American occupation, representing a total
of 4,234 rooms. In August, 1915, 10,502 teachers
were employed, of whom 483 were Americans and
10,019 Filipinos. The English language exclusively
is taught in the public schools, and emphasis Is
placed on Industrial training.
In Generai,.
Vital statistics are confined to Manila, population
(1914), 266,943; death rate for the last quarter of
1915 was 23.98 per 1,000, and the birth rate 33.62
per 1,000. Among the American residents, however,
the death rate is only 10 to 15 per 1,000.
The assessed real estate property value as of Oc-
tober 1, 1915, was 8341,228,755. The reported value
of church buildings, mostly CathoUc, is §20,849,355.
The bonded Indebtedness of the Philippine Govern-
ment, including the bonded Indebtedness of the
cities of Manila and Cebu, is 816,125,000.
In 1914 there were 73 newspapers and neriodicals
138 Insular Possessions of the United States— Vont'tnved
published in the i nds, 17 being In English, 7 in
English and Spanish, 1 in English and native dia-
lects, 1 to English and German. 15 in Spanish, 10 in
Spanish and native dialects, 20 in native dialects,
and 2 In Chinese.
On December 31, 1914, there were In operation
685 post-ofBces, free delivery municipal letter-car-
rier service in 447 municipalities, 302 money-order
offices, 439 postal savings banks with 48,876 ac-
counts. OI the 48,876 depositors 41,414 are Fili-
pinos.
The total kUometerage of telegraph and cable
lines on December 31, 1914, were 9794.60 and the
number of telegraph offices 303. Of the 303 tele-
graph offices 7 are wireless stations.
There are in operation about 714 miles of rail-
road, of which about 582 miles are In Luzon, 72
miles In Panay, and 60 mllea In Cebu. Manila has
an urban and suburban electric railway system op-
erating about 40 miles of line. Already more than
9,400 mUes of public roads have been built.
AGRICULTURE.
Although agriculture Is the chief occupation of
the Filipinos, yet only one-ninth of the surface is-
under cultivation. The soil is very fertile, an<l even
after deducting the mountainous areas It is probable
that the area of cultivation can be very largely
extended and that the islands can support a popula-
tion equal to tiiat of Japan. Out of 800,000 farmers,
less than 2,500 operate large farms. The Bureaus
of Education and Agriculture through combined
effort have in five years more than doubled the
production of corn, while the rice crop increased
40 per cent.: the cocoanut Industry developed 300
per cent, in eight years, while the exports of sugar
and tobacco practically doubled in ten years. Only
a small fraction of the land is cultivated.
The chief products are hemp, rice, corn, sugar,
tobacco, cocoanuta and cacao, hemp being the roost
Important commercial product and constituting 40
per cent, of the value of all exports.
Imports aw Exports.
In the year ended June 30, 1916, the imports of
merchandise from the United States into the Philip-
pines were 523,804,367, and the total exports from
the Philippines for the same period to the United
States were 828,838,526.
The imports of merchandise from foreign countries,
year ended June 30, 19i6, were 822,169,258, and
the exports were $32,625,505. The principal foreign
countries trading with the Philippines are Great
Britain, France, French East Indies, China, Japan,
and Spain.
Civil GovERNifENT of the Philippines.
Under the Act of Congress approved July 1, 1902,
the Governor-General and members of the Upper
Houseof the Legislature, the Philippine Commission,
were appointed b;- the President. Wm. ft. Taft,
the first Governor-General, was sacceedcci by Luke
E. Wright In December, 1903, by Ucmy Clov Ide
in 1906, James F. Smith in 1906, W. C'iimoron
Forbes In 1909, and Francis Burton Harrison tn
1913. At first there were 8 and later 9 members
of the commission, 5 Americans and 3 Filipinos;
members of the commission were secretaries of the
four executive departments — Interior, Finance and
Justice, Commerce and Police, and Public Instruc-
tion. In 1907 the elective Assembly was established,
forming the Lower House of the Legislature, its au-
thority being limited to the so-called civilized
provinces, of which there are 38, each with a Governor,
Treasurer and Prosecuting Attorney or fiscal, who
are elected for terms of four years. The judiciary
consists of the Supreme Court, with seven Judges:
Courts of First Instance and Justice of the Peace
Courts. The Philippine Constabulary, which is
distributed throughout the Archipelago in 125 sta-
tions, consists of 341 officers and 4,972 enlisted men.
Of the laws recently enacted by the Legislature may
be mentioned that authorizing the Governor-General
to purchase the Manila Railroad, that creating the
Philippine National Bank, and a general revision
of administrative legislation under the title "Admin-
istrative Code of the Philippine Islands."
By the Act of Congress approved August 29r
1916, the Philippine Commission Is abolished,
there being substituted as the Upper House of the
Legislature a Senate composed of 24 membei-s, and
instead of the Assembly, a House of Representatives
of 90 members, all of whom are to be elected at
triennial elections, excepting two Senators and nine
Representatives who are to be appointed by the
Governor-General to represent the non-Clu-istian
provinces. This act generally enlarges the powers
of the Insular Government, and embodies as a pre-
amble the following statement:
Whereas, It was never the Intention of the people
of the United States in the Incipiency of the war
«-ith Spain to make it a war of conquest or for
territorial aggrandizement: and
Whereas, It is, as it has always been, the purpose
of the people of the United States to withdraw
their sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and
to recognize their independence as soon as a stable
government can be established therein; and
Whereas, For the speedy accomplishment of such
purpose it Is desirable to place in the hands of the
people of the Philippines as large a control of their
domestic affairs as can be given them without, in
the mean time, impairing the exercise of the rights
of sovereignty by the people of the United States,
In order that, by the use and exercise of popular
franchise and governmental powers, they may be
the better prepared to fully assume the responsi-
bilities and enjoy all the privileges of complete
Independence.
PORTO RICO.
The Island of Porto Rico, over which the flag of the United States was raised in token of formal pos-
session OB October 18, 1898, is the most eastern of the Greater Antilles in the West Indies and Is separated
on the east from the Danish island of St. Thomas by a distance of about fifty miles, and from Haytfon the
west by the Mona passage, seventy miles wide. Distances from San Juan, the capital, to Important points
are as follows: New York, 1,411 miles: Charleston, S. C, 1,200 miles: Key West, Fla., 1,050 miles: Havana.
1,000 miles.
The Island is a parallelogram In general outline, 108 miles from the east to the west, and from 37 to 43
miles across, the area being about 3,604 square miles, or somewhat less than half that of the State of New
Jersey (Delaware has 2,050 square miles and Connecticut 4,990 square miles). The population according
to an enumeration made by the United States Government in 1900 was 953,243, of whom 589,426 were white
and 363,817 colored. The density was 260 to the square mile in 1900: 83.2 per cent, of the population
could not read. The population In 1915 is reported as 1,198,970.
Porto Rico is unusually fertile, and Its dominant Industries are agriculture and lumbering. In elevated
regions the vegetation of the temperate zone Is not unknown. There are more than 500 varieties of trees
found in the forests, and the plains are full of palm, orange, and other trees. The principal crops are sugar,
coffee, tobacco, and maize, but oranges, bananas, rice, pineapples, and many other fruits are Important
products. The largest article of export from Porto Rico is sugar. The next Is tobacco. Other exports in order
of amount are coffee, fruits, molasses, cattle, timber, and hides.
The principal minerals found in Porto Rico are gold, carbonates, and sulphides of copper and magnetic
oxide of Iron in large quantities. Lignite Is found at Utuado and Moca, and also yellow amber. A large

PORTO RICO — Continued.
Almanac for 1901, pages 92 and 93. President Roosevelt In hla message to Congress In December, 1908,
recommended the granting of United States cltlzeuship to the Porto Ricans, and bills were Introduced In
the Sixty-second and Sixty-third Congresses providing for citizenship and revision of the organic act, but
they failed to reach a final vote. In the first session of the Sixty-fourth Congress a new organic act for
Porto Rico was passed by the House of Representatives, and on May 23, 1916. the bill was passed, giving
the Porto Rican Government all its Internal revenue regardless of whether the goods on which it is paid are
used In Porto Rico or this country. Heretofore revenues on goods used in the United Slates have gone to
the Federai treasury. Property and educational qualifications are provided for applicants for citizenship.

CUAM.
The island of Guam, the largest of the Mariana Archipelago, was ceded by Spain to the United States
by article 2 of the Treaty of Peace, concluded at Paris, December 10, 1898. It lies in a direct line from
San Francisco to the southern part of the Philippines, and is 5.044 miles from San Francisco and 1,506 miles
from Manila. It is about 30 miles long and 100 miles in circumference, and has a population of 12,517.
The inhabitants are mostly immigrants or descendants of immigrants from the Philippines, the original
race of the Mariana Islands being nearly extinct. The prevailing language is English. Spanish and
Chamorro are also spoken. Nine-tenths of the islanders can read and write. The island is thickly wooded,
well watered, and fertile, and possesses an excellent harbor. The productions are tropical fruits, cacao,
rice, corn, tobacco, and sugar cane. The island of Guam was discovered by Hernando de Magallanes on
The'island was captured by the U. S. S. Charleston, Capt. Henry Glass commanding, Jime 21, 1898,
the American flag raised over Fort Santa Cruz, and a salute fired. Later the island was made a naval station,
and Commander E. D. Taussig, of the U. S. S. Bennington, took possession February 1, 1899. The
Governor is a naval officer, and the island has a marine garrison as well as a station ship.
TUTUILA (AMERICAN SAMOA).
Tutuila, the Samoan island which, with Its attendant Islets of Manu'a, Olosega, Ofu, Aunuu and Rose,
became a possession of the United States by virtue of the tripartite treaty with Great Britain and Germany
in 1899 covers, according to the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce, fifty-five square
fflUes and has (by census of February 1, 1912) 7.251 inhabitants. It possesses the most valuable island
harbor Pago-Pago, in the South Pacific, and perhaps in the entire Pacific Ocean. Commercially the island
is unimportant at present, but is extremely valuable in its relations to the commerce of any nation desiring
to cultivate trans-Pacific commerce. ,j ». ..^ .i,
Ex-Chief Justice Chambers, of Samoa, says of Pago-Pago that "The harbor could hold the entire naval
force of the United States, and is so perfectly arranged that only two vessels can enter at the same time.
The coaling station, being surrounded by high bluHs, cannot be reached by shells from outside." Capacity
of coaling station, 4,200 tons. j „ . j, * „ j
The Samoan Islands, in the South Pacific, are fourteen in number and lie in a direct line drawn from
San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand. Tutuila is 4,160 miles from San Francisco, 2,263 miles from
Hawaii 1,580 miles from Auckland, 2,354 miles from Sydney, and 4,200 miles from Manila. The inhabitanta
are native PoljTiesians and Christians of different denominations.

to Hongkong, about 2,000 miles froni the first and 3,000 miles from the second. .^ ^ ^ ^,
The United States possesses a number of scattered small islands in the Pacific Ocean, some hardly
more than rocks or coral reefs, over which the flag has been hoisted from time to time. They are of little
present value and mostly uninhabited. The largest are Christmas, Gallego, Starbuck, Penrhyn, Phoenix,
Palmyra Howland, Baker, Johnston, Gardner, Midway, Morell, and Marcus Islands. The Midway Islands
are occupied by a colony of telegraphers in charge of the relay in the cable line connecting the Philippines
with the United States, In all about forty persons. , » .,, , .i, , ,

130 miles from Yucatan, west, and 85 miles from Jamaica, south. There are 2,360 miles of railway lines
and 200 miles of electric railways.
The two principal agricultural staples of the island are sugar and tobacco. It also produces in consid-
erable quantities fruits, vegetables, timber and metals, mainly iron, manganese and copper ore, and
is adapted to coffee aiid cotton raising. The ground has no rival for fertility, and when duly cul-
tivated gives marvellous results. The sugar cane when planted in superior ground is cut during 50
years without being planted again. Cuba is superior to the rest of the tropical lands, with the pos-
sible exception of Porto Rico. The whole land is mantled with rich soils, fertile calcareotis loams,
which, under constant humidity, yield in abundance every form of useful vegetation of the tropical
and temperate climes. It hM 1,246 miles of shaded roads ■ ■ ■ ■ - .

FORESTS AND FORESTRY.
(Report 01 year ended June 30, 1916.)
Our forests now cover 550,000,000 acres, or about one-fourth of the United States. Forests
puDllcIy owned contain one-fifth of all timber standing. Forests privately owned contain at least
four-fifths of xhe standing timber. The timber privately owned is not only four times that publicly
owned, but It^ls generally more valuable.
The original forests of the United States contained timber In quantity and variety far beyond
that upon any other area of similar size In the world. They covered 850,000,000 acres, with a stand
of not less than 5,200,000,000,000 feet of merchantable timber, according to present standards of
use. There were five great forest regions — the Northern, the Southern, the Central, the Rocky
Mountain and the Pacific.
The present rate of cutting for all purposes undoubtedly exceeds the annual growth of the forests.
The great pineries of the Lake States are nearing exhaustion and heavy inroads have been made upon the
supply of valuable timber throughout all parts of the country.
The heavy demands for timber have been rapidly pushing the great centres of the lumber industry
toward the South and West. In consequence, the State of 'W'ashington now leads In lumber production,
followed closely by Louisiana, then Mississippi, North Carolina, and Oregon. Among the softwoods, in
1915, the production of yellow pine lumber amounted to about fourteen and three-quarter billion feet; the
Douglas fir of the Northwest held second place, with more than four and one-half billion feet, while white
pine, with two and three-quarter billion feet ranked third. Of the hardwoods oak came first, with approxi-
mately three billion feet, followed in the order named by cypress, maple, red gum, chestnut, yellow poplar,
birch, and beech.
We take from our forests yearly. Including waste in logging and in manufacture, more than 22,000,000,000
cubic feet of wood, valued at about SI .375.000,000.
We use in a single year 90,000,000 cords of firewood, nearly 40,000,000,000 board feet of lumber,
150 000,000 ties, nearly 1,700,000,000 staves, 445,000,000 board feet of veneer, over 135,000,000 sets of
heading, over 350,000,000 barrel hoops, over 3,300,000 cords of native pulp wood, 170,000,000 cubic feet
of round mine timbers, nearly 1,500,000 cords of wood for distillation, over 140,000 cords for excelsior,
and nearly 3,500,000 telegraph and telephone poles.
About 4,333,000 cords of wood are used in the manufacture of paper, of which about 1,000,000 cords
are Imported practically all from Canada. The demand for wood pulp is making a severe drain on the spruce
forests, which furnish the principal supply, though a number of other woods, such as poplar, hemlock, pine,
and balsam, are now being used in considerable quantities. Tests by the Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture have shown that pulp suitable for use in the manufacture of news and
wrapping paper can be made from some ten species of native woods, including Sitka spruce. Western hem-
lock, Engelmann spruce, red fir, v/hlte fir, and lodgepole pine.
The demand for highly durable woods for railroad ties threatened to create a serious problem In many
parts of the country where the supplies of white oak, chestnut, cedar, and cypress are growing less. In place
of these, more plentiful woods, such as Southern pine, Douglas flr, tamarack, and hemlock, are coming into-
use, largely in consequence of the introduction of treatment by preservatives which retard decay.
UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE.
The Forest Service Is one of the bureaus of the Department of Agriculture. It has charge of the
administration and protection of the National forests and also promotes the practice of forestry
generally through investigations and the diffusion of Information.
The work of the Government In forestry was initiated by the appointment of Dr. Franklin B.
Hough In 1876 as special agent in the Department of Agriculture. In 1.S81 a division of forestry
was created In that department. In 1901 this division became the B\neau of Forestry, and In 1905,
when the care of the National forests was plven to this bureau. Its name became the Forest Service.
Previously the care of National forests had been In the hands of the Department of Interior.
A law authorizing the President to set apart forest reserves was passed In 1891, but no provision
for their administration and use was made until 1897. Previous to 1905 the Bureau of Forestry
merely gave expert advice, on request, to the Department of the Interior concerning the application
of forestry to the forest reserves. The change of name from "forest reserves" to "National forests'
was made In 1907 to correct the Impression that the forests were, as "reserves," withdrawn from use.
Since the Forest Service took charge of them the fundamental aim has been to open them to the widest
use consistent with their proper protection. .. .rw. ... ...
The National forests were set aside as follows: By President Harrison, 13,416,710 acres; by President
Cleveland, 25,686.320 acres: bv President McKlnley, 7,050,089 acres; by President Roosevelt, 148,346,924
acres. Since early In 1909 a careful readjustment of the boundaries has been going on. In consequence
President Taft added to the National forests 4,333,847 acres and eliminated from them 11,680,578 acres,
while to June 30, 1916, President Wilson has added 562,279 acres and eliminated 11,615,124 acres. Acts
of Congress prohibit any additions by the President to the National forest area in Washington, Oregon,
California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. , ^r .«-. nn/.
The present net area of the National forests, including Alaska and Porto Rico, is 155,407,92() acres,
with an additional 706.975 acres acquired by purchase In the White Mountains and Southern Appalachjaa
regions for National forest purposes.

Forests and Forestry — Continued.
The expenditures upon the National forests for protection, administration, and Improvement at present
exceed the revenues from the forests by about §2,500,000 to S3, 000,000 a year, depending partly on the se-
verity of the fire season and partly on the activity of the general lumber market, and excluding the recent
appropriation of $10,000,000 by Congress for roads and trails. The normal gross cost of administration
and protection is approximately 34,750,000, wliile from $300 000 to §600,000 yearly is Invested In the
construction of roads, traMs, buildings, and other permanent Improvements. The cost of administration
Includes the cost of handling much free-use business, while the cost of protection is chiefly the cost ot
protecting water supplies and future timber supplies.

Under the law 25 per cent, of the receipts are paid to the States in wiilch the National forests are
located, to be expended for roads and schools. The amount to be paid to the States in this way from the
receipts in 1916 is about §695,541.40.
By the acts of Congress organizing them as States, Arizona and New Mexico also receive for their
school funds an additional share of the receipts based on the proportion that their school lands within the
National forests bear to the total National forest area in the States. The approximate amounts due on
account of the receipts for 1916 are §31,046.12 to Arizona, and $10,329 to New Mexico.
Congress has also provided that 10 per cent, of the receipts shall be set aside as an appropriation to be
used under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture for road and trail building in National forests in
co-operation with State authorities or otherwise. The amount thus appropriated on account of fiscal year
1916 receipts is $278,216.56. This, added to the amount carried over from 1915 receipts fimd, $151,089.21,
and the amount appropriated for improvements, in the regular agricultural biU, $400,000, makes the total
available for the construction of roads, trails, cabins, bridges, telephone lines, etc., on the National forests
for the fiscal year 1917, §829,305.77.
In addition to the foregoing the Federal Aid Road act, passed by Congress in 1916, appropriated ten
million dollars for the construction and maintenance of roads and trails within or partly within National
forests. This money becomes available at the rate of a million dollars a year for the next ten years. In
general, the States and counties are required to furnish co-operation in an amount at least equal to 50 per
cent, of the estimated cost of the surveys and construction of projects approved by the Secretary of Agri-
culture. The apporllonmenta among the States is based on the area of National forest lards in each State
and the estimated value of the timber and the forage resources which the forests contain. The total amount
from all sources available for roads, trails and other improvements on the National forests during the fiscal
year 1917 is §1,829,305.77.
The total regular appropriation for salaries, general expenses, and improvements for the fiscal year
1917 is $5,574,735.00, as against §5.553,256.00 for 1916.
The grazing receipts for 1916 were paid by the holders of 28,052 permits to graze 1,860,635 cattle,
horses, and swine, and of 5,276 permits to graze 7,886,473 sheep and goats. The receipts from timber sales
were paid by approximately 11,000 purchasers to cut the equivalent of 545,428,000 board feet of timber.
The receipts from special uses were paid by the holders of approximately 5,000 permits. In other words,
these receipts represent profitable use of the forests by some 49.000 individuals or concerns. To the use
for which payment was made must be added the heavy free use of the forests by the public. Figures for
free use of timber are as follows:

In issuing permits for reservoirs, conduits, power-houses and transmission lines for commercial power
development the Forest Service has steadfastly insisted on conditions designed to prevent speculative or
perpetual holdings and to secure the full development of available power and the payment of reasonable
charges for the use ot land.
The total stand of timber on the National forests is estimated at nearly six hundred billions board feet.

Forests and Forestry — Continued. 145
The great areas contained In the National forests have now been brought to a condition where
they are beginning lo serve the purposes of the West. The conservation of timber and forage through
wife use and the protection of stream flow are the means of sustaining many industries which bAve
contributed materially to the prosperity of the country.
ORGANIZATION OF THE FOREST SERVICE.
At the head of the Forest Service are the Forester, Henry 8. Graves, and the Associate Forester, A. F.
Potter. The work Is organized under the following branches: Operation, James B. Adams in charge; Lands,
E. A. Sherman In charge; Silviculture, W. B. Greeley in charge; Grazing, A. F. Potter In charge: Re-
search, Including Forest Products Laboratory, Earle H. Clapp in charge; Acquisition of Lands under the
Weeks law, William L. Hall in charge.
The 153 National forests are grouped In seven districts, with a District Forester In charge of
each, and headquarters as follows: District 1 (Montana, Northeastern Washington, Northern Idaho,
Northwestern South Dakota, and Southwestern North Dakota), Missoula, Mont., F. A. SUcox,
District Forester; District 2 (Colorado, Wyoming, the remainder of South Dakota, Nebraska, Northern
Michigan, and Northern Minnesota), Denver, Col., Smith Riley, District Forester; District 3 (Arizona and
New Mexico), Albuquerque, N. Mex., P. G. Redlngton, District Forester; District 4 (Utah, Southern Idaho,
Western Wyoming, Eastern and Central Nevada and a small portion of Northwestern Arizona), Ogden,
Utah, L. F. Knelpp, District Forester; District 5 (California and Southwestern Nevada), San Francisco;
Gal., Coert Du Bois, District Forester; District 6 (Washington. Oregon, and Alaska), Portland, Ore., Geo.
H. Cecil, District Forester; District 7 (Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia, North Caro-
lina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Porto Rico), Washington, D. C, William L. Hall,
District Forester.
On July 1, 1916, the force employed by the Forest Service numbered 8,682. Of these 3.008 were em-
ployed upon the National forests and 674 were engaged in administrative, scientlflc and clerical work at the
Washington and district headquarters. Of the employes on the National forests the force engaged princi-
pally in protective work numbered 2,078 men, as follows: Forest Rangers, 406; Assistant Forest Rangers,
769; Forest Guards, 903. The protective force was therefore about one man for every 75,000 acres, or 117
square miles. (Prussia has one man for every 1,700 acres, and Baden one for every 750.)
BRANCH OF SILVICULTURE.
The replacement of old stands by new growth Is accompUshed by regulating the cutting through the
Insertion of special provisions in timber sales contracts in such a way as to iniure natural reproduction. On
completely denuded areas, however, artificial reforestation by planting or sowing is generally necessary
for the establistiment of a new growth of trees. The object of such work is usually to produce commercial
timber, although in a number of cases the reforesting of denuded watersheds is undertaken primarily to con-
trol and regulate th« flow of streams directly supplying cities and towns. During the year ended June 30,
1916, over 10,000 acres In National forests were planted or sown to trees, chiefly Douglas flr. Western yel-
low pine. Western white pine, white pine, and lodgepole pine. There are 21 Government nurseries which
supply the NationaJ forests. These have a present stock of about 37,000,000 plants and are capable of sup-
plying 15.000,000 a year.
BRANCH OF GRAZING.
The nimiber of stock grazed during the past season (1916), under permit, was 1,860,635 head of cattle,
horses, and swine, and 7,886,473 head of sheep and goats. The annual productive value of this number of
stock IS more than $30,000,000. The number of persons holding permits to graze live stock during the
past year was 33,328.
About 16 per cent, of all the sheep In the United States are grazed In the National forests.
EASTERN NATIONAL FORESTS.
The act of March 1, 1911, commonly known as the Weeks law, provides for the acquisition
of forest lands on the watersheds of navigable streams. Its purpose Is to promote and protect the
navigability of the streams by preserving the forest on the upland portions of their watersheds.
Through this act means are afforded of extending the National forest system to regions where the
Government has hitherto owned no forest lands and taken no direct part In forest preservation.
The original appropriation was 32,000,000 per year for five and one-half years, beginning with
the last half of the fiscal year 1911. The Agricultural Appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1913
made the appropriation for 1912 and subsequent years available until expended.
In order to concentrate the purchases where they will be of the greatest benefit from the stand-
point of watershed protection, certain areas In the Appalachian region have been designated, aggre-
gating 6,966,304 acres, to which purchases will be for the present confined. The United States
Geological Survey has examined the greater part of this land, as required by law. In order to deter-
mine whether or not the forest cover exercises a beneficial Influence In regulating the flow of navigable
streams. Up lo July 1, 1916, 6,966,304 acres were reported upon favorably by the Geological Survey.
The Forest Service has been designated as the bureau to receive proposals ol land and to examine
and value lands for purchase. The National Forest Reservation Commission considers the recom-
mendations of the Forest Service and approves the lands to be purchased and fixes the price to
be paid.
From April 1, 1911, to June 30, 1916, proposals were received covering 4.227,060 acres, of which
3,547,414 acres were within the general areas in the White Mountains and the Southern Appalachians
which had been selected for purchase.
During the same period 2,137,269 acres were examined, and 1,329,487 acres were approved by the
National Forest Reservation Commission. The total surveyed acreage under protection, including acquired
and additional areas approved for purchase, is as follows: Georgia area, 96,385: Maine area. 24,825; New
Hampshire area, 280,439; North Carolina area, 249,765; South Carolina area, 17,270; Tennessee area,
223,204; Virginia area. 291,618; West Virginia area, 102,220. Total, 1,285.726.
As these lands are acquired they are administered along the same lines as are the National
forests In the West, and the above-named areas will, as title Is obtained and plans for handling them
are prepared, be given formal designation as National forests.
FOREST POLICY OF THE STATES.
The movement for National forestry has been followed by a widespread development of State
forest activities. New York and Pennsylvania, the pioneers In this field, Inaugurated State policies
before the work of the National Government had awakened general Interest In forestry., but In most
of the States forest work has been either a direct outgrowth ol Federal activities or Indirectly due
to them. Ten or twelve years ago few States were giving their forest problems any serious considera-
tion; to-day 32 have forest departments, 24 employ professionally trained foresters, and practically
all show recognition of the need for a State forest policy.
The appropriations for the yearly support of the several State forest departments vary greatly. The
smallest Is $500; the greatest approximately 5315,000. Those which appropriate over $25,000 are: Pennsyl-
vania, $315,000; New York, 3178,000: Minnesota, $118,000: Michigan, 5105,000; Massachusetts, $78,000, In
addition to $175,0()0 tor the suppression of gypsy and brown-tall moths: Maine, 573,000: New Hampshire,
$39,000; Washington and Wisconsin, $35,000 each; Oregon, $30,000, and New Jersey, $43,000.

FORESTS AND FORESTRY — CmMnvM.
Systematic forest Are protection by the States has been greatly stimulated by the operation of the
so-called Weeks law. under which the Federal Government co-operates through the Forest Service with
individual States for protecting the watersheds of navigable streams, the Federal Government bearing
In no case more than half the cost nor contributing more than S8,000 to any State in any one year.
More than thirteen million acres of private and State-owned land are protected by Federal appropriations
under this act, at an average cost of three-fourths of a cent per acre. Altogether, more than one hundred
million acres are fairly well protected against forest flres under this law by the combined private. State, and
Federal appropriations, at an average cost of less than two cents per acre. The States wiiich have entered
Into co-operative agreements under this law are: Maine, New Hampsliire, Vermont, Massachusetts Con-
necticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland. Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, South Dakota. Montana, Idaho. Washington, and Oregon.
Tennessee. Alabama, Colorado, and Callfomia have organized fire-warden systems, but do not appro-
priate State funds for Are protection. Maine, by means of a timber land tax, supports an efflcient forest
fire service covering the unorganized townships In the northern part of the State; In the remaining townships
each bears the cost of an ex-offlclo wai-den system. The Forest Service of Minnesota covers 20,000,000
acres by systematic patrol and maintains a permanent field force of rangers and patrolsien, with ex-ofDcio
town fire-wardens as an auxiliary force. Idaho has adopted a co-operative system of protection with
private owners, under which the State pays Its pro rata share of the cost, on the basis of State-owned area
within the area protected by a privately organized system.
In the fifty years preceding 1913, forest flres had caused an average annual loss In the United
States of about 70 human lives and at least 825,000,000 worth of timber, besides the loss of live
stock, crops, buildings, and various kinds of Improvements worth many millions more. Added to
this are the enormous losses from the destruction of young tree growth, soil deterioration, damage
to water courses and water supplies. Interruption of business, and depreciation of property.
New York has a State-owned "Forest Preserve" of 1,825.882 acres In the Adirondack and
Catsklll Mountains, under fire protection, but not under forest management, which the State Con-
stitution forbids. The entire central portion of these two mountain regions, comprising 7,200,000
acres, is protected from flre by a State ranger system: in the rest of the State, town officers are de-
pended on to keep flres down. Private owners are furnished tree seedlings at cost from the State
nurseries, which also grow material for reforesting denuded portions of the preserve. Three laws give
forest lands reduction of, or exemption from, tax assessment under certain conditions. Pennsylvania has
more than 1,000,000 acres of State-owned forests and practises forestry on them, maintaining a State ranger
training school at Mont Alto. These forests are chiefly in the mountains of the central part of the State,
and protect streamflow as well as supply timber. Additional lands may be purchased at not more than
$10 per acre. Private lands are orotected under a fire-warden system. The State distributes planting
material. The same is true of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Maryland, Kentucky. Ohio,
Kansas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Idaho.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan have large holdings of State forests. Minnesota has
approximately 1,000,000 acres of school lands which are to be retained for State school forests,
besides 43,000 acres now In State forests. Wisconsin has 400,000 acres reserved, and Michigan
689,000. of whlch'^S 12,000 acres are used for exchange to add to the 277,000 acres permanently re-
served In several large blocks In different parts of the State. South Dakota has 75,000 acres of State
forest in the Black Hills. New Jersey 13,720 acres, and New Hampshire, Vermont, California, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Indiana, and Maryland from 2,000 to 9,000 acres each.
In Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan the tax on forest
land may be levied chiefly on yield or Income.
PRIVATE FORESTRY.
While progress in the forestry movement has been mainly through public agencies, in the last few years
a marked advance has been made by private owners.
The greater part of the privately owned timber of the country is in the Northwest, where the liability
of the timber to destruction by flre and the example of the protective work carried on by the Government led
to the formation of flre protective associations among the timber owners. From the Northwest the move-
ment spread over a considerable part of the timbered area in the Northern and Western States. At present
there are forty associations of this kind in the States of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana,
Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont; Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, and North CaroUna. The
associations are supported by assessments on an acreage basis and maintain a system of protection more
or loss similar to that on the National forests. The land thus privately protected la estimated at approxi-
mately twenty-five million acres.
The practice of forestry by private owners is gradually extending in the Northeastern States, largely
because condltions|in that region make it economlcaHy possible. The greatest progress has been made in
Central New England, where excellent nearby markets, low-priced rough land, and a varied demand for
forest products combine to make the growing of trees profitable. Many New England farmers are planting
old pastures to white pine, and in some sections land with young tr«e growth Is valued more highly than
similar land without. Considerable planting is also being done by the farmers of the Middle West in the
form of farm woodlots and windbreaks. While these produce comparatively little saw timber they yield
a large amount of firewood and post material, besides benefiting the farm by their presence.

CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
The National Conservation Association, with headquarters in the Munsey Building, Washington,
*.. C, is now the organized head ol the conservation movement in the United States.
In a booklet explaining the objects ol the association is the Allowing;
"The National Conservation Association is fighting for the prompt and orderly development of our
natural resources, for the welfare of ourselves and our children, and for the rights of the plain people. The
issoclatlon is bound neither by political considerations nor official connections. It is free to speak the
whole truth.
"That conservation means tne use of our natural resources for the benefit of us all and not merely for
the profit of a few is already household knowledge. The task which the National Conservation Association
has set for Itself Ls to get this principle put into practical effect."
The association has no political afflliations, and is supported by membership dues and voluntary con-
tributions. It publishes bulletins, legislative briefs, statements, and leaflets, and scrutinizes all Federal
conservation legislation.
Glftord Pinchot, P>resident: Charles W. Eliot. Honorary President; Harry A. Slattery, Secretary.
The National Conservation Congress is the National clearing-house for the State Conservation Com-
missions and Conservation Committees of National associations and all organizations concerned in the
conservation of the country's natural resources. It is the organized head of the conservation movement
in the United States. Its chief object is "to afford an agency through which the people of the country may
frame policies and principles affecting the conservation and utilization of their resources, to be put into
effect by their respective representatives in the State and Federal Governments."
The Congress holds annual meetings "to provide for discussion of the resources of the United States as
the foundation for the prosperity of the people." The Congress also undertakes "to furnish definite
information concerning the resources and their development, use, and preservation."
Membership dues range from SI a year to $100 or more, according to classification.
The Congress is managed by its officers and an Executive Committee, and by an Advisory Board,
consisting of one member from each National association having a Conservation Committee.

THE AMERICAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.
The American Forestry Association, with headquarters at 1410 H Street Northwest, Washington, D. C,
was organized in 1882 and incorporated in January, 1&97. It Is devoted to the conservation of private.
State and National forests and to public education in the knowledge of trees, their care and development.
It is a voluntary organization for the inculcation and spread of a forest policy on a scale adequate for our
economic needs, and any person is eligible for membership. It is independent, has no official connection
with any Federal or State department or policy, and is devoted to a public service conducive to National
prosperity. It asserts that forestry means the propagation and care of forests for the production of timber
as a crop; protection of watersheds; utilization of non-agricultural soil; use of forests for public recreation.
It declares that forestry is of immense importance to the people; that the census of 1913 shows our forests
annually supply over one and a quarter billion dollars' worth of products; employ 735,000 people; pay
8367,000,000 in wages; cover 550,000,000 acres unsuited for agriculture; regulate the distribution of water;
prevent erosion of lands, and are essential to the beauty of the country and the health of the Nation, It
recognizee that forestry is an industry limited by economic condltioas; that private owners should be aided
and encouraged by investigations, demonstrations, and educational work, since they cannot be expected to
practise forestry at a financial loss; that Federal and State Governments should imdertake scientific forestry
upon National and State forest reserves for the benefit of the public. It will devote its influence and educa-
tional facilities to Uie development of public thought and knowledge along these practical lines.
It supports these policies: Federal administration and management of National forefits: adequate
appropriations for their care and management; Federal co-operation with the States — especially in forest
fire protection. State activity by acquirement of forest lands; organization for fire protection; encoiu^age-
ment of forest planting by communal and private owners; non-political deiiartmen tally independent forest
organization, with liberal appropriations for these purposes. Forest fire protection by Federal. State and fire
psotective agencies, and its encour.iger;-ient and extension, individually and by co-operation; without adequate
fire protection all other measures for lorest crop production will fall. Forest planting by Federal and St.ate.
Governments and long-lived corporations, and acquirement of waste lands for this purpose: and also planting
by private owners where profitable, and encouragement of natural regeneration. Forest taxation reforms
removing unjust burdens from owners of growing timber. Closer utilization In logging and manufacturing
without loss to owner; aid to lumbermen in achieving this. Cutting of mature timber where and as the
domestic market demands it, except on areas maintained for park or scenic purposes, and compensation of
forest owners for loss suffered through protection of watersheds, or on behalf of any public interest. Equal
protection to the lumber industry and to public interests in legislation affecting private timberland operations,
recognizing that lumbering is as legitimate and necessary as the forests themselves. Classification by experts
of lands best suited for farming and those best suited for forestry ; and liberal National and State appropriations
for this work.
The membership of the association is close to 13,000 in every State in the Union, every Provmce m
Canada and every civilized and semi-civilized country in the world. The subscribing membership is S3.00
a year; contributing membership is SIO.OO a year; sustaining membership is S'25.00 a year and life membership
is SIOO.OO. Members receive each month the American Forestry Magazine which contains articles on every-
thing pertaining to trees, forests, and birds.

BIRO CENSUS.
During the Summer of 1914 the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture took
Initial steps toward a census of the birds of the United States for the purpose of ascertaining approximately
the number and relative abundance of the different species. In view of the recognized value of birds to
agriculture, such Information cannot 'ail to be of great value.
One of the most abundant birds in the United States, possibly the most abundant bird. Is the roblp.
It Is also one of the most sociable, and in the Northeastern part, where it is most abundant, it oommonly
nests close to farm buildings, but almost never in extensive woods.
No other bird is anywhere near as abtmdant as either the robin or the English sparrow, but several
others are common enough to make then toial numbers run well into the millions. For every 100 robins
reported in the 1914 census there were 49 catbirds. 37 brown thrashers, 28 house wreas, 27 kingbirds and 26
bluebirds This last number Is particularly gratifying because only a few years ago nearly the whole blue-
bird population of the Eastern States was destroyed by an unusually severe Winter. Since then the birds
have been gradually recovering from the catastrophe, and this season's census shows that there are now
several million bluebirds in Northeastern United States. . ^ ^^ ^ . „. » > .v
This preliminary census shows that the most abundant bird on farms of the Northeastern States is tne
robin; that the next is the English sparrow, and that following these are the catbird, the brown thrasher,
the house wren, the kingbird, and the bluebird, in the order named.
On August 29, 1916, the United States Senate ratified the treaty with Canada extending to all migratory
birds the same protection on both sides of the Canadian border.

NATIONAL STATUARY HALL.
Works of art in the Capitol Building, Washington, have been acquired by gift from private individ-
uals interested in the preservation of the historical, biographical, or pictorial art of the Nation; by the gift
from States, as instanced by the statues of distinguished citizens forming the collection in Statuary Hall,
and by purchase by the Government. A general supervision of the art works of the Capitol is exercised by
the Joint Committee on the Library. This committee also has charge of accessions to the art works of the
Capitol Building, except as otherwise provided by law.
Statuary Hall, formerly the hall of the House of Representatives, was established as Statuary Hall by
Act of Congress of July 2, 1864. By this legislation a National Hall of Statuary was created, and the Presi-
dent was authorized to invite each State to contribute to the collection to be formed, two statues. In either
marble or bronze, of deceased citizens of the State whom "for historic renown or from civil or military ser-
vices" the State should consider as worthy of commemoration in this National Hall of Statuary.

the Act of Congress approved June 14, 1902, provides that "the Secretary of State may grant and Issue
passports, and cause passports to be granted, issued, and verified In foreign countries by such diplomatle
or consular officers of the United States, and by such chief or other executive officers of the insular possessions
of the United States, and under such rules as the President shall designate and prescribe for and on behalf
of the United States." The following rules are accordingly prescribed for the granting and issuing of
passports in the United States:
2. To Whom Passforts Are Issued — Section 4076 of the Revised Statutes of the United States
(U. S. Comp. Stat. 1901, 2765) provides that "no passport shall be granted or issued to, or verified for, any
other persons than those owing allegiance, whether citizens or i.ot. to the United States."
3. By Who.m Issued and Refusal to Issue — No one but the Secretary of State may grant and issue
pa;ssports in the United States (Revised Statutes, sections 4075, 4078), and he is empowered to refuse them
in his discretion.
Passports are not issued by American diplomatic and consular officers abroad, except In cases of emer-
gency; and a citizen who Is abroad and desires to procure a passport must apply therefor through the nearest
diplomatic or consular officer to the Secretary of State.
AppUcations for passports by persons in Porto Rico or the Philippines should be made to the Chief
Executives of those islands. The evidence required of such applicants is similar to that required of
applicants in the United St.ates.

for every citizen's passport. That amount in currency or postal money order should accompany eat*

for one person to apply for another.
The affidavit must be made before a clerk of a Federal court or of a State court authorized by the Act
of Congress of June 29, 1906, to naturalize aliens, within the iurisdiction of which the applicant or his
witness resides, and the seal of the court must be affixed; but in any place where there is a Federal court
the affidavit must be made before a clerk of such court. In any place where tliere Is an agent of the De-
partment of State, the Secretary of State may, in his discretion, require the application to be made before
such agent. The clerk of court or agent of the Department of State before whom the application is made
must mall it directly to the Department of State. The applicant must state from what point he intends to
leave the United States, and the date of his intended departure, and also if by a port of the United States,
by what ship he Intends to sail.
Each application must be in the hands of the Department of State or its agents at least five days before

business must support his application with a letter from the head of the firm or firms which he represents,
stating the names of the countries it is necessary for him to visit and the objects of his visits thereto. An
applicant who is going abroad for any other purpose must satisfy the Department of State that it is im-

unmounted, and not larger in size than three by three inches. One must be attached to the back of each
application by the clerk of court or the department's agent before whom it is made, with an impression
of such officer's seal so placed as to cover part of the photograph, but not the features, and the other sent
loose, to be attached to the passport by the department. The loose photograph must be signed across its
face, so as not to obscure the features, by the applicant, and the signature tliereon must correspond to the
applicant's signature affixed to the application. Photographs on cardboard or post cards will not be accepted.
The application must be supported by an affidavit of at least one credible witness that the applicant
is the person he represents himself to be, and that the facts stated in the application are true to the best
of the witness' knowledge and belief. This affidavit must be made before the clerk of court or the depart-
ment's agent before whom the application is executed, and the witness must be an American citizen, who

be known to the clerk of court or the department's agent before whom the application is executed, or must
be able to satisfy such officer as to his Identity and the bona fides of the applicant.
6. Native Citizens — An application containing the information Indicated by rule 5, will be sufficient
evidence in the case of native citizens; except that a person born in the United States in a place where births
are recorded will be required to submit a birth certificate with his application. If a birth certificate is not
obtainable, the application should be supported by an affidavit of the pliysiclan who attended the birth or
affidavits of parents or other reputable pejsons having actual knowledge of the applicant's birth in this
country.
Passports issued by the Department of State or its diplomatic or consular representatives are intended
for identification and protection in foreign countries, and not to facilitate entry into the United States,
immigration being under the supervision of the Department of Labor.

addition to the statements required by rule 5, his application must show that his father was born in the

must transmit his certificate of naturalization, or a duly certified copy of the court record thereof, with
his application. It will be returned to him after inspection. He must state in his affidavit when and from
what port he emigrated to this coimtry, and, if possible, what ship he sailed on, where he has lived since his
arrival in the United States, when and before what court he was naturahzed, and that he is the identical per-
son described In the certificate of naturalization. The signature to the appUcatlon should conform in orthog-
raphy to the applicant's name as written in his certificate of naturalization, or an explanation of the

as to the naturalization of the applicant.
13. Renewal op Passport.— Passports issued by the Department of State, which have not expired,
may be renewed by It for a period of six months upon the sworn applications of the holders; provided that
the holders are residing In the United States at the time they make their application for renewal, that they

faction of the Department of State that it is necessary for them to do so.
An application for the renewal of a passport must be In the form of an affidavit addressed to the Secre-
tary of State. The affidavit must be made before a clerls of a proper court within the jurisdiction of which

partment of State before whom the application is made, and the seal of such officer must be impressed thereon.

renewal of a passport.
A person abroad hoidtng a passport Issued by the Department of State may have it renewed for a period
of six months upon presenting it to a diplomatic or principal consular officer of the United States, when

objects of his visits thereto.

port appHeation. For a man-servant or any other person In the party a separate passport will be required.
A woman's passport may include her minor children and maid-servant under the alpve-named conditions.

LIABILITY FOR MILITARY SERVICE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES OF PERSONS RESIDING
IN THE UNITED STATES.
The Department of State has recently received numerous Inquiries from foreign-oorn persons
residing In this country as to whether they may be compelled to perform military service In their na-
tive lands and as to what penalties, by way of fines, confiscation of property, or Imprisonment in case
of return, they will Incur If they fall to report to the authorities of their countries of origin for mili-
tary service. Some of the Inquiries refer to persons who have obtained naturalization as citizens of
the United States, others to persons who have made declarations of Intention to become American
citizens, and still others to persons who have taken no steps toward acquiring American citizenship.
Misconception and confusion concerning this matter appear to be current.
The United States Is not a party to any treaties under which persons of foMlgn origin residing
In this country may be compelled to return to their countries of origin for military service, nor Is
there any way In which persons may be forced into foreign armies against their will so long as they
remain In the United States.
The department cannot undertake to give authentic, official Information either 'n general, as
to the requirements of the military service laws of foreign countries and the pe . dltles provided

therein Jor evasion of military service, or. In particular, as to the status and present or luture lia-
bilities of Individuals under such laws. Information of this kind must be obtained from officials of
the foreign countries concerned.
The department Issues printed circulars concerning the status In their native lands of natu-
rallzed citizens of the United States, natives of certain European countries, and these will be fur-
nished to Interested persons upon request. It Is specifically stated In these circulars that the In-
formation contained In them Is not to be considered as official so far as It relates to the laws and
regulations of foreign countries.
The United States has concluded treaties of naturalization with the following European coun-
tries: Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, the German States, Great Britain, Norway and Sweden.
Copies of these treaties are to be found in "Treaties, Conventions, etc., between the United States
of America and Other Powers" (Government Printing OfBce. 1910), and separate copies may be fur-
nished by the department upon request. Under these treaties the naturalization of persons concerned
as citizens of the United States and the termination of their former allegiance are recognized, with
the reservation. In most of them, that such persons remain liable to trial and punishment In their
native lands for offences committed prior to emigration therefrom. Including offences of evasion of
military duty. The United States holds that no naturalized citizen of this country can rightfully
be held to account for military liability to his native land accruing subsequent to emigration
therefrom, but this principle may be contested by countries with which the United States has
not entered Into treaties of naturalization. The latter countries may hold that naturalization
of their citizens or subjects as citizens of other countries has no eflect upon their original military
obligation, or may deny the right of their citizens or subjects to become naturalized as citizens of
other countries. In the absence of express consent or without the fulfilment of military obligations.
More specific information as to the department's understanding of the laws of these countries con-
cerning nationality and military obligations may te found In the department's circulars mentioned
above.
It is Important to observe that an aiien who "declares his intention to become a citizen of the United
States does not, at the time of making such declaration, renounce allegiance to his original sovereign,
but merely declares that he Intends to do so. Such person does not, by his declaration of Intention,
acquire the status of a citizen of ths Un'ted States.

qualified to become a citizen of the United States and who for the five years preceding May 1, 1910,
had resided In the United States continuously and who, because of misinformation In regard to bis
citizenship, had In good faith exercised the rights and duties of a citizen of the United States because
of wrongful Information and belief, may, upon oroof of these facts satisfactory to a court having
jurisdiction to naturalize aliens, petition for naturalization without filing the required declaration of
Intention upon compliance with the other requirements of the law.
PETITIONS FOR NATURALIZATION.
Not less than two years after an alien has filed his declaration of Intention, and after not less than
flye years' continuous residence In the United States, he may file a pvetltion for citizenship in any one
0* the courts above stated which has jurisdiction over the place in which he resides, provided he has
lived at least one year continuously, immediately prior to the filing of such petition, In the State or
Territory In which such place Is located. This petition must be signed by the petitioner in his own
handwriting and shall give his full name, place of residence, occupation, place of birth and the date
thereof, the place from which he emigrated, and the date and place of his arrival in the United States.
If such arrival occurred subsequent to the passage of the act of June 29, 1906, he must secure a cer-
tificate from the Department of Labor showing the fact of such arrival and the date and place there-
of, for filing with the clerk of the court to be attached to his petition. If he Is married he must state
the name of his wife and. If possible, the country of her nativity and her place of residence at the
time of the filing of his petition, and. If he has children, the name, date and place of birth and present
place of residence of each living child. The petition must set forth that he Is not a disbeliever In or
opposed to organized government, or a member of or afflllated with any organization or body of per-
sons teaching disbelief In or opposition to organized government; that he Is not a polygamlst or a be-
liever In the practice of polygiimy, and that he absolutely and forever renounces all allegiance and
fidelity to any foreign country of which he may, at the time of filing such petition, be a citizen or
subject. This petition must be verified at the time It is filed by the affidavit of two credible wit-
nesses, who are citizens of the United States and who shall state that they have known the petitioner
during his entire residence (not exceeding five years) in the State In which the petition Is filed, which
must be not less than one year, and that they have known him to be a resident of the United States
continuously during the five years immediately preceding the filing of the petition; that during such
time he acted as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the
United States and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same. If a portion of the five
years has been passed by the petitioner in some other State than that in which he resides at the time
of filing his petition the affidavit of the witnesses may verify so much of the petitioner's residence as.
has been passed In the State (not less than one year), and the portion of said five years' residence out
of the State may be shown by depositions at the time of hearing on the petition.
No petition may be heard until the expiration of at least ninety days after it is filed nor within
thirty days preceding a general election. At the hearing upon a petition, which shall be at a date
fixed by order of the court, the witnesses are required to again attend and testify In open court so-
that the Judge or Judges thereof may be satisfied that the petitioner Is qualified and that he has com-
piled with all the requirements of the law.
Any alien who has borne an hereditary title or been a member of an order or nobility must re-
nounce such title or position expressly before becoming naturalized. No alien may become natu-
ralized, if physically capable, who does not speak the English language.
Aliens who are admitted to citizenship by order In open court will be required to take the oath of
allegiance and thereafter will be entitled to a certificate of naturalization.
"The law also provides as to those persons, who though not citizens owe permanent allegiance to
the United States, and who may become residents of any State or organized Territory of the United States,
that they may be naturalized upon compliance with all the requirements of the law, except that they wUl
not be called upon to renounce allegiance to any foreign sovereignty.
At the time of filing his declaration of Intention an alien is required to pay to the clerk of the court
a fee of one dollar. At the time of filing a petition for naturalization a petitioner Is required to pay to-
the clerk of the court a fee of four dollars. This latter fee is for the cost of recording the petition and
bearing the case, as well as tor the Issuance, If the petition is granted, of the certificate ol naturalization..

NATURALIZATION LAWS — Continued.
NATURALIZATION OF WOMEN.
The naturalization laws apply to unmarried alien women, and the foreign-bom widows of aliens (who
were not naturalized) . The citizenship and allegiance of a woman married to an alien is governed by that
of the husband, and it has been held by the courts that during the existence of the marriage relations with
an alien, a woman can neither be naturalized upon her own petition, nor file a valid declaration of intention.
A foreign-born widow of an alien may proceed upon the declaration of the deceased husband, and the alien
wife of an insane alien may petition upon the declaration of the Insane husband, provided the wife has made
a homestead entry under the United States land laws.
CITIZENSHIP OF WOMEN.
Any woman who is now or may hereafter be married to a citizen, and who might herself be lawfully
naturalized, shall be deemed a citizen. A foreign woman who acquires American citizenship by marriage
retains her citizenship after the termination of the marital relation if she continues to reside in the United
Stales, unless she maizes formal renunciation thereof before a naturalization court; or, if slie resides abroad,
she may retain her citizenship by registering before a United ftotes Consul within one year after the termina-
tion of the marital relation.
Loss of Citizenship bij Marriage — An American woman who marries a foreigner takes the nationality
of her husband. At the termination of the marital relation she may resume her American citizenship, if re-
siding in the United States, by merely continuing to reside therein; or, if abroad, \>y registering before a
United States Consul within one yaar, or by returning to reside in the United States. Under this law, the
Supreme Court of the United States affirmed a decision of a California court that an American woman mar-
ried to an alien cannot vote in that State.
CHINESE, JAPANE.se, ETC.
The naturalization of Chinese is e.xpressly prohibited by Section 14, Chapter 126, Laws of 1882.
Section 2169 of the United States Revised Statutes limits naturalization to aliens being free white per-
sons and to aliens of African nativity or dascent. Under this section the various courts have denied natu-
ralization to Afghans, a Fiji Islander, Hindus (East Indians), Indians, Japanese, and other Mongolians,
Malays (Including a native of Burma), and members of the Asiatic races.
THE NATIONAL PURE FOOD LAW.
The Pure Food act, approved June 30, 1906, is entitled "An act for preventing the

SUMMARY OF RESULTS.
(Bureau of Chemistry, Canl L. Alsberg, Chief, Washington, D. C. )
During the fiscal year 1915 4,412 official samples of foods and drugs shipped in interstate commerce
and 873 unofficial samples were collected and examined; 20,238 Import shipments were examined at the
Import laboratories; 767 cases were transmitted to the Department of Justice, in 276 of which criminal pro-
ceedings and in 491 of which seizure proceedings were recommended; 501 criminal and 467 seizure cases, in
all 968, were terminated hi the courts.
ABOLISHING GUARANTY LEGEND AND SERIAL NUMBER ON FOOD AND DRUGS.
It has been made to appear that (1) dealers in food and drugs have on hand a great many labels and
containers printed or marked prior to the date of Food Inspection Decision 153 (May 6, 1914); (2) these
labels and containers bear the legend "Guaranteed by (name of guarantor) under the Food and Drugs Act,
June 30, 1906," or a serial number issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, or both; (3)
these labels and containers, when so printed or marked, complied with the rules and regulations for the en-
forcement of the Food and Drugs Act in effect at the time, and (■!) great financial loss wiU result to such
dealers, .through their inability to use these labels and containers, if Regulation 9, as amended by Food In-
spection Decisions 153 and 155, be enforced beginning on May 1, 1916.
Accordingly, proceedings under the Food and Drugs Act, based on the shipment in interstate or foreign
commerce, or the sale in the District of Columbia or the Territories, prior to May 1, 1918, of any article of
food or drugs, will not be instituted solely on account of the fact that the label thereon or the container
thereof bears the legend "Guaranteed by (name of guarantor) under the Food and Drugs Act, June 30,
1906," or a serial number issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, or both, upon it being es-
tablished that such label or container was so printed or marked prior to May 5, 1914,

BRITISH INCOME-TAX PAYERS.
(American Consular Report, May, 1915.)
It is probable that the total number of income-tax payers in Great Britain is somewhat under 1,000,000,
many worklngmen escaping payment of the tax because of the dlfflcultv of obtaining an accurate record of
individual earnings. In 1914 there were 709.356 assessments on individuals with incomes between £160
and £10,000 (5780 and 548,665) and 390 whose incomes exceeded the latter figure, the gross income of the
709,746 individuals being 51,223,226.600. Classified by incomes these tax payers numbered:

Patent Office Procedure. 181
PATENT OFFICE PROCEDURE.
The following statement has been revised by the Patent Office for The World Almanac:
Patents are issued in the name of the United States, and under the seal of the Patent Office, to
any person who has Invented or discovered any new and useful art, machine, manufacture, or oom-
positionof matter or any new and useful improvement thereof, or any new, original and ornamental
design for an article of manufacture, not known or used by others in this country before his invention
or discovery thereof, and not patented or described in any printed publication in this or any foreign
country, before his invention or discovery thereof or more than two years prior to his application,
and not in public use or on sale in the United States for more than two years prior to his application,
unless the same is proved to have been abandoned; upon payment of the fees required bylaw and
other due proceedings had.
Every patent contains a grant to the patentee, his heirs or assigns, for the term of seventeen years,
except in the case of design patents, of the exclusive right to make, use, aijd vend the invention or
discovery throughout the United States and the Territories, referring to the specification for the par-
ticulars thereof.
If it appear that the inventor, at the time of making his application, believed liimself to be the
first inventor or discoverer, a patent will not be refused on account of the invention or discovery, or
any part thereof, having been known or used in any foreign country before his invention or discovery
thereof, if it had not been before patented or described in any printed publication.
Joint inventors are entitled to a joint patent; neither can claim one separately. Independent In-
ventors of distinct and independent improvements in the same machine cannot obtain a joint patent
for their separate inventions; nor does tne fact that one furnishes the capital and another makes the
invention entitle Uiem to make application as joint inventors; but in such case they may become joint
patentees by means of a deed of assignment.
No person otherwise entitled thereto will be debarred from receiving a patent for his invention or
discovery, by reason of its having been first patented or caused to be patented by the inventor or his
legal representatives or assigns in a foreign country, unless the application for .said foreign patent was
filed more than twelve months prior to tlie filing of the application in this country, and four months
In cases of designs, in whicli case no patent shall be granted in this country.
APPLICATIOISS.
If an inventor wishes to file an application for patent, a copy of the Rules of Practice, containing
forms and instructions, will be sent upon request. It is advisable, however, in every case, that the
services of acompetent registered patent attorney be secured, as thevalue of patents depends largely
upon the skilful preparation of the specification and claims. The Patent Office cannot recommend
any particular attorney or firm, but advises applicants to avoid doing business with those who ad-
vertise the possession of unusual facilities for obtaining patents.
Applications for patents must be made in writing to the Commissioner of Patents. The applicant
must tile in the Patent Office a written description of the invention or discovery, and of the
manner and process of making, constructing, compounding, and using it, in such full, clear, concise,
and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which it appertains, or with
which it is most nearly connected, to make, construct, compound, and use the same; and in case of a
machine, he must explain ttie principle thereof, and the best mode in which he has contemplated
applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions, and particularly point out and
distinctly claim the part, improvement, or combination which he claims as his invention or discovery.
The specification and claim must be signed by the inventor.
\Vhen the nature of the invention admits of drawings, the applicant must furnish a drawing of
the required size, signed by the inventor or his attorney in fact. The applicant, if required by the
Patent Office, shall furnish a model of convenient size to exhibit advantageously the several parts
of his invention or discovery, but a model should not be sent unless firet called for by the Patent
Office.
The applicant shall make oath that he verily believes himself to be the original and first inventor
or discoverer of the art, machine, manufacture, composition, or improvement for which he solicits a
patent; that he does not know and does not believe that the same was ever before known or used, and
shall state of what country he is a citizen and where he resides, and whether he is the sole or point
inventor of the invention claimed in his application. In every original application the applicant
must distinctly state under oath that the invention has not been patented to himself or to others
with his knowledge or consent in this or any foreign country for more than two years prior to
his application, or on an application for a patent filed in any foreign country by himself or his legal
representatives or assigns more than twelve months prior to his application in this country, or four
months in cases of designs. If any application for patent has been filed in any foreign country by the
applicant in this country or by his legal representatives or assigns, prior to his application in this
country, he shall state the country or countries in whicli such application has been filed, giving the
date of such application, and shall also state that no application has been filed in any other country
or countries than those mentioned; that to tlie best of his knowledge and belief the invention has not
been in public useoron sale in the United States nor described in any printed publication or patent in
this or any foreign country for more than two years prior to his application in this countr.v. Such
oath maybe made before any person within tlie United States authorized by law to administer oaths,
or, when the applicant resides in a foreign country, before any Minister, Charge d'AfTaires, Consul, or
commercial agent holding commission under the Government of the United States, or before any
notary public, Judge or Magistrate having an official seal and authorized to administer oaths in that
country whose authority shall be proved by a certificate of a diplomatic or consular officer of the
United States, except tliat no acknowledgment may be taken by any attorney api>earing in the case.
On the filing of such application and the payment of the fees required by law, if, on exami-
nation, it appears that the applicant is justly entitled to a patent under the law, and that the Inven-
tion is sufficiently useful and important, the Commissioner will issue a patent therefor.
Every patent or any interest therein shall be assignable in law by an instrument in writing; and the
patentee or his assigns or legal representatives may, in like manner, grant and convey an exclusive
right under his patent to the whole or any specified part of the United States.
REISSUES.
A reissue is granted to the original patentee, his legal representatives, or the assignees of the entire
Interest when, by reason of a defective or insufficient specification, or b.v reason of the patentee claim-
ing as Ills invention or discovery more than he had a right to claim as new, tlie original patent is inop-
erative or invalid, provided the error has arisen from inadvertence, accident, or mistake, and without

DELAYS OCCASIONED BY THE WAR.
The act of August 17, 1916, extended by nine months the time for filing applications, paying fees and
taking necessary action in cases in the Patent OflBce where the war in Europe prevented filing within the
time heretofore allowed. This act operates to relieve defaiilt occurring between August 1, 1914 and Janu-
ary 1, 1918, and is reciprocal with citizens or subjects of countries extending similar privileges' to citizens
of the United States.
Registration of Trade-Marks. 183
REGISTRATION OF TRADE-MARKS
IN THE UNITED STATES.
The following are extracts from the new "Act to authorize the registration of trade-marls used In
Commerce with foreign nations, or among the several States or Indian tribes, and to protect the same,"
approved February 20, 1905, and later amendatory acta.
"The owner of a trade-mark used In commerce with foreign nations, or among the several States, or
with Indian tribes, provided such owner shall be domiciled within the territory of the United States, or
resides in or is located in any foreign country, which, by treaty, convention, or law, affords similar privileges
to the citizens cf the United States, may obtain registration for such trade-mark by complying with the
following requirements: First, by filing in the Patent Office an application therefor, in writing, addressed
to the Commissioner of Patents, signed by the applicant, specifying his name, domicile, location, and
citizenship; the class of merchandise and the particular description of goods comprised In such class to
which the trade-mark is appropriated; a statement of the mode In which the same is applied and aflttxed
to goods and the length of time during which the trade-mark has been used; a description of the trade-
mark Itself shall be included. If desired by the applicant or required by the Commissioner, provided such
description Is of a character to meet the approval of the Commissioner. With this statement shall be filed
a drawing of the trade-mark, signed by the applicant, or his attorney, and such number of specimens of
the trade-mark, aa actually used, as may be required by the Commissioner of Patents. Second, by paying
into the Treasury of the United States the sum of ten dollars, and otherwise complying with the require-
ments of this act and such regiilatlons as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Patents.
"A certificate of registration shall remain in force for twenty years, except that In the case of trade-
marks previously registered in a foreign country such certificates shall cease to be in force on the day on
which the trade-mark ceases to be protected in such foreign country, and shall in no case remain In force
more than twenty years, unless renewed. Certificates of registration may be, from time to time, renewed
for like periods on payments of the renewal lees required by this act, upon request by the registrant, his
legal representatives, or transferees of record in the Patent Office, and such request may be made at any
time not more than six months prior to the expiration of the period for which the certificates of regLstrailon
were Issued or renewed. Certiiicates of registration in force at the date at which this act takes effect shall
remain In force for the period for which they were issued, but shall be renewable on the same conditions
and for the same periods as certificates Issued under the provisions of this act, and when so renewed shall
have the same force and effect as certificates issued under this act.
"The registration of a trade-mark under the provisions of this act shall be prima facie evidence of
ownerstilp. Any person who shall, without the consent of the owner thereof, reproduce, counterfeit, copy,
or colorably imitate any such trade-mark and affix the same to merchandise of substantially the same
descriptive properties as those set forth in the registration or to labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers,
or receptacles intended to be used upon or in connection with the sale of merchandise of suL)stantially the
same descriptive properties as those set forth in such registration, and shall use, or shall have used, such
reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation in commerce among the several States, or with a
foreign nation, or with the Indian tribes, shall be liable to an action for damages therefor at the suit of the
owner thereof; and whenever In any such action a verdict Is rendered lor the piaiDtiff, the court may enter
Judgment therein lor any sum above the amount found by the verdict as the actual damages, according
to the circumstances of the case, not exceeding three times the amount of such verdict, together with the
No trade-mark will be registered which consists of or comprises immoral or scandaloas matter, or
which consists of or comprises the flag or coat of arms or other itasignia of the United States, or any slmula/-
tlon thereof, or of any State or municipality, or of any foreign nation, or which consists of or comprises
any design or picture that has been adopted by any fraternal society as its emblem, or of any name, dis-
tinguishing mark, character, emblem, colors, flag, or banner adopted by any institution, organization,
club, or society which was incorporated in any State in the United States prior to tlie date of the adoption
and use by the applicant; Providcxl, That said name, distinguishing mark, character, emblem, colors, flag,
or banner was adopted and publicly used by said institution, organization, club, or society prior to the
date of adoption and use by the applicant; unless it shall be shown to the satisfaction ol the Commissioner
of Patents that the mark was adopted and used as a trade-mark by the applicant or applicant's predec^essors,
from whom title is derived, at a date prior to the date of its adoption by such fraternal society as its emblem,
or which trade-mark is identical with a registered or known trade-mark owned and in use by another, and
appropriated to merchandise of the .same descriptive properties, or which so nearly resembles a registered
or known trade-mark owned and in use by another, and appropriated to merchandise of the same descrintive
properties as to be likely to cause confusion or mistake in the minds of the public or to deceive pm'chasers;
or which consists merely in the name of an individual, firm, corporation, or association, not written, printed,
Impressed, or woven in some particular or distinctive manner or in association with a portrait of the Indi-
vidual, or merely in words or devices which are descriptive ol the goods with which they are used, or of
the character or quality of such goods, or merely a geographical name or term; no portrait of a living Indi-
vidual will be registered as a trade-mark, except by the consent of such individual evidenced by an instru-
ment in writing; and no trade-mark will Ije registered which is used In unlawful business, or upon any
article injurious in Itself, or which has been used with the design of decel\'ing the public in the purchase
of merchandise, or which has been abandoned.
Any mark, used in commerce with foreign nations or among the several States or with Indian tribes,
may be registered If it has been in actual and exclusive use as a trade-mark of tlie applicant, or his pred-
ecessors from whom he derived title, for ten years next preceding the passage of the act of February 20, 190.5.
By Act of Congress approved February 18, 1909, the second section of the trades-mark act was amended
so as to read as follows:
"The application prescribed in the foregoing section, in order to create any right whatever in favor
of the party filing it, must be accompanied by a written declaration verified by the applicant, or by a
member of the firm or an officer of the corporation or association applying, to the effect that the applicant
believes himself or the firm, corporation, or association in whose behalf lie makes the application to be
the owner of the trade-mark sought to be registered, and that no other person, firm, corporation, or asso-
ciation, to the best of the applicant's knowledge and belief, has the right to use such trade-mark in the
United States, either In the identical form or In such near resemblance thereto as might be calculated to
deceive; that such trade-mark is used in commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, or
with Indian tribes, and that the description and drawing presented truly represent the trade-mark sought
to be registered. If the applicant resides or Is located in a foreign country, the statement required shall,
in addition to the foregoing, set forth that the trade-mark has been registered by the applicant, or that
an application for the registration thereof has been filed by him in the foreign country In which he resides
or is located, and shall give the date of such registration, or the application therefor, as the case may be,
except that In the application In such cases it shall not be necessary to slate that the mark has been used
In commerce with the United States or among the States thereof. The verification required by this section
may be made before any person within the United States authorized by law to administer oaths, or, when
the applicant resides in a foreign country, before any Minister, Charge d'Affalres, Consul, or commercial
agent holding commission under the Government of the United States, or before any notary public. Judge,
or Magistrate having an official seal and authorized to administer oattis in the foreign country in which the

A fee of SIO.OO is required by law to be paid with each application for the registration of a trade-mark,
and this fee will include the certificate oX registration, if the trade-mark be determined to be registrable.
TRADE-MARK TREATIES WITH FOREIGN NATIONS.
The following is a list of the Governments with wliich conventions for the reciprocal registration and
protection of trade-marks have been entered into by the United States — Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Den-
mark, France, Germany, Great Britain (including colonies), Italy, Japan (including China and Korea),
Luxemburg, Mexico, Roumania. Serbia, Spain. The laws of Switzerland and the Netherlands being so
framed as to afford reciprocal privileges to the citizens or subjects of any Government which affords similar
privileges to the people of those countries, the mere exchange of diplomatic notes, giving notice of the fact,
accomplishes all the purposes of a formal convention.

held at Washington, D. C, April 22 and 23, 1912.
President — R. O. Rhett, Charleston. S. C. Vice-PresiderUs — Henry L. Corbett, Portland, Ore., for
Western States: Robert F. Maddox, Atlanta, Ga., for Southern Central States; Samuel MacRoberts, New
York, N. Y., for Eastern States, and Joseoh H. Defrees, Chicago, III., for Northern Central States.

cago, 111. General Secretary — Elliot H. Goodwin, Washington, D. C. Assistant Secretary — D. A. Skinner,

Purposes — To encourage and promote the organization of associations of business In all parts of the
country. To study the work of existing organizations and their value to their respective trades and
communities, and to clear the information thus acquired for the benefit of all organizations desiring to
increase their efficiency. To advocate the standardization of association methods and of association effort,
and to urge the adoption of those standards which have been found most effective in so far as they may
be applicable to local or trade conditions.
To study the work performed by all Government Bureaus In any way related to the commerce of the
country, to encourage and support appropriation measures for their further development, and to utilize
the data which they gather by directing it into the channels to which it is immediately applicable.
To analyze carefully all statistics with regard to the production and distribution of oiu- manufactures
at home and abroad; to be watchful of every influence calculated to retard our commercial development,
and to become a source of information with respect to new opportunities for trade expansion, especially in
foreign markets.
When debatable policies affecting our National commerce are advocated by the Federal authorities,
there should be a recognized organization capable of expressing the business opinion of the entire country
available for conference, alike to the executive and legislative branches of tlie Government. It is the
purpose of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America to act in this capacity — not to
origtnate legislation, nor to be unnecessarily critical of legislation proposed by others, but rather to assume
that tiie National Government desires to act in harmony with the commercial interests of the coimtry and
will accept our co-operation in an endeavor to make all business legislation constructive.
There are three great wealth-producing factors in our National life — Commerce, labor, and agriculture.
Labor, through its State and National organizations, strives for legislation in its own interest and presents
its demands with the united voice of two million union workers. Agriculture likewise pressents its demands
through its National organization, and these are heeded in both State and National Legislatures. Com-
merce has l>een organized into local and trade groups, but not as an effective National unit, and it is to
provide such a unit, as powerful as those enjoyed by labor and agriculture, that the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States of America is now organized. These three great factors, through their National
orffanizations, may find a means for co-operation on many subjects in which there is a vital joint interest.
Organization Membership — Every commercial or manufacturers' association not organized for
private purposes shall be eligible for membership in the chamber. Such associations shall be of two classes:
First — Local or State commercial or business organizations whose chief purpose la the development
ol the commercial and industrial interests of a single State, city or locality.
Second — Local, State, interstate or National organizations whose membership is confined to one trade
or group of trades.
Representation — Each member of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America shall
be entitled to one delegate and one vote for the first twenty-five memtiers, and one delegate and one vote
for each additional two hundred members in excess of twenty-five, but no member shall be entitled to more
than ten delegates and ten votes. Organizations having less than twenty-five members may be admitted
to membership if in the judgment of the Board of Directors their importance would justify their admission,
and these shall be entitled to one delegate and one vote.
The organization membership at the present time consists of over 800 commercial and trade organiza-
tions representing over 330,000 corporations, firms, and individuals, among which every State in the Union
is represented, as well as Hawaii. Alaska, Porto Rico, the Philippines, and the American Chambers of
Commerce in foreign countries.
iNPrviDUAi, Membership — Persons, firms, and corporations who are members in good standing of any
organization admitted to the chamber are eligible for election as individual members. Individual members
receive the regular publications of the chamber and they may avail themselves of the facilities of the
National headquarters; may attend all regular and special meetings of the chamber and, subject to the
rules of such meetings, may have the privilege of the floor, but they are not entitled to vote except as duly
accredited delegates of organization members. Individual membership is limited to 5,000, and at the
present time consists of more than 4,300 individuals, firms, or corporations representing merchants, manu-
facturers, lawyers, bankers, engineers, railroad officials, and other business men in ail parts of the country.
Service — The Legislative Bulletin, Issued weekly during the sessions of Congress, constitutes a thorough
digest of current and National legislation published for business men.
The Business Bulletins give members prompt and accurate notice of all Government activities affecting
the business of the country, announcements regarding the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Trade Com-
mission the Income Tax, the Interstate Commerce Commission, moratorla, contraband, embargo, etc.
The Nation's Business, published monttUy, contains up-to-date facts in regard to National questions
affecting commerce and industry. , , , , . .
The Research Division is maintained under the direction of busmess and legal experts. Through this
division members are furnished direct with advice or data from official or other first-hand sources available
In the Government departments, the Library of Congress, or elsewhere in Washington.
The Organization Service Bureau is a clearing house of Information as to the activities of trade and
comiaerelai organlzationa throughout the country.

UNITED STATES EXECUTIVE CIVIL SERVICE.
(Revised for this Issue of The World Almanac by the Secretary of the Civil Service Commission.)
The purpose of the ClvU Service act, as declared in its title, Is "to regulate and Improve the Civil Service
of the United States." It provides for the appointment of three Commissioners, a clilef Examiner, a Secre-
tary, and other employes, and makes it the duty of the Commissioners to aid the President as he may request
in preparing suitable rules for carrying the act into effect; to maiie regulations to govern all examinations
held under the provisions of the act, and to mal^e Investigations and report upon all matters touching the
enforcement and effect of the rules and regulations. The address of the commission is Washington, D. C.
PROVISIONS OF THE RULES.
The act requires the rules to provide, as nearly as the conditions of good administration will warrant,
for open competitive practical examinations for testing the fitness of applicants for the classified service;
for the filling of all vacancies by selections from among those graded highest; tor the apportionment of ap-
pointments at Washington among the States upon the basis of population, lor a period of probation before
absolute appointment; that no person in tlie public service shall be obliged to contribute service or money
lor political purposes; that persons in the competitive service, while retaining the right to vote as they please
or to express privately their political opinions, shall take no active part in political campaigns, and that no
person in said" service has any right to use his official autliority or influence to coerce the political action of
any person or body.
EXTENT OF THE SERVICE.
There were on June 30, 1915, 476,363 positions in the Executive Civil Service, 61 per cent, of which,
or about 292,296, were subject to competitive examination. The expenditure for salaries in the Executive
Civil Service is over 8200,000,000 a year. The Civil Service act does not require the classification of persons
appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate or of persons employed merely as laborers or work-
men. Many positions are excepted in part from the provisions of the rules for various reasons.
APPLICATIONS.
Persons seeking to be examined must file an application blank. The blank for the Departmental Ser-
vice at Washington, Railway Mail Service, the Indian School Service, and the Government Printing Service
should be requested directly of the Civil Service Commiasion at Washington. The blank for the Customs,
Postal, or Internal Revenue .Service should be requested of the Civil Service Board of Examiners at the
office where service is sought.
Applicants for examination must be citizens of the United States and of the proper age. No person
using into.xicatlng licjuors to excess may be appoiuted. No discrimination is made on account of se.x, color,
or political or religious opinions. The limitations of age vary with the dilferent services, but do not apply
to any person honorably discharged from the military or naval service of the United States by reason of dis-
ability resulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the line of duty.
EXAMINATIONS.
The examinations are open to all persons qualified in respect to age, citizenship, legal residence, char-
acter, and health. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, 35,841 persons were appointed. Of those
appointed, 2,431 were rural letter-carriers, 9,617 were mec!»anics and workmen at navy yards appointed
on registration tests of fitness given by a board of labor employment at each yard. Several hundred different
kinds of examinations were held, each one of which involved different tests. Foiu- hundred and thirty-six
of these examinations contained educational tests, the others being for mechanical trades or skilled occu-
pations and consisting of certificates of employers or fellow-workmen. Examinations are held twice a year
in each State and Territory, the places and dates being publicly announced.
APPOINTMENTS.
In case of a vacancy not filled by promotion, reduction, transfer, or reinstatement, the highest three
of the sex called for on the appropriate register are certified for appointment, the apportionment being con-
sidered In appointments at Washington. In the absence of eliglbles, or when the work is of short duration,
temporary appointments, without examination, are permitted. The number of women applying for ordinary
clerical places is greatly in excess of the calls of appointing officers. The chances of appointment are good
for teachers, matrons, seamstresses, and physicians in the Indian Ser\ice, for male stenographers and type-
writers, draughtsmen, patent examiners, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers, and for technical and
scientific experts.
PREFERENCE CLAIMANTS.
Persons who served in the military or naval service of the United States, and were discharged by reason
of disabilities resulting from, wounds or sickness incuiTcd in the line of duty, are, imder the Civil Service
rules, given cein.ain preferences. They are released from all maximum age limitations, are eligible for ap-
pointment at a grade of 65, while all others are obliged to obtain a grade of 70, and are certified to appoint-
ing officers before all others. Subject to the other conditions of the rules, a veteran of the rebellion or of the
war with Spain, or the widow of any such person, or any army nurse of either war, may be reinstated with-
out regard to the length of time he or she lias been separated from the service.
INSULAR POSSESSIONS.
Examinations are also held for positions in the Ptiilippines, Porto Rico, and Hawaii, and also for the
Panama Canal service.
THE UNCLASSIFIED SERVICE.
Under an executive order unclassified laborers are appointed after open, competitive examination upon
their physical condition. This action is outside the Civil Service act.

NATIONAL SECURITY LEAGUE.
Convinced that something should be done to arouse the public to a realization of our unpreparedness
a group of prominent citizens of New York decided to call a public meeting for the purpose of devising the
best means of placing before the people the facts concerning the condition of our defences.
The meeting was held in New York, December 1, 1914, In response to a call Issued by S. Stanwood
Menken, Herbert Barry, George Haven Putnam, Lawrence F. Abbott, J. Mayhew Walnwright, Charles
E. Lydecker, and Franklin Q. Brown. Ways and means of bringing home to the people the lessons of the
European war and a realization of our own defencelessness were discussed, and It was decided to organize
a new league on grounds broad enough to embrace all branches of our military establishment and on strictly
non-political and non-partisan lines. Officers were elected and resolutions were adopted defining the purpose
of the league as follows:
"Whereas. It has been the general policy of our Government to avoid entering Into entangling alliances
or international relations that would be likely to Involve war responsibilities; and, with a natural reliance
upon our geographical position and the well tested courage and public spirit of our citizens to rest the
defence of the country upon a minimum of military and naval forces and upon the calculation that it
should prove possible in an emergency to bring into organization with sufficient promptness a citizens'
defensive force; and
"Whereas, It is the opinion of the citizens here assembled that, under the changed conditions of
international relations, it may not be wise to continue to Intrust our National defence to hurried emer-
gency measures;
"Now, To the end that popular sentiment may be aroused and public opinion may be organized
throughout the entire breadth of the land for the purpose of Insuring the enactment by Congress and by
other legislative bodies of the measures required for National security, and as the first step toward
such general action, to procure a proper Inquiry on the part of the Administration and of Congress, and to
make preparations for whatever action the results of such inquiry may seem to render essential:
"Resolved. I. That we now constitute an association which shall be called "The National Security
League."
"II. That a Committee of Fifty be appointed by the Chairman, with power to add to its members;
to create an Executive Committee and such other committees as may be found advisable; to adopt suitable
by-laws for the governance and for the extension of the league; to take steps to secure the creation of branch
leagues or associated leagues throughout the United States, with a central body which shall have the
general control of the business of the league: and to take all measures that may be found desirable for the
purpose of maintaining the security of the Nation and for developing the opinion of our citizens In regard
to the conditions on which National security must be based; and to secure such legislation as may be re-
quired for those patriotic purposes.
"III. To enroll in its membership, with such conditions as may be found advisable, all citizens who
are in accord with the purposes and the work of this league."
The following principles were adopted: 1. There is no assurance that we wlU not again become
Involved in war. 2. That a peaceful policy, even when supported by treaties, is not a .sufficient guarantee
against war, and that the United States cannot safely Intrust the maintenance of Its institutions and
nationality to them. 3. That until a workable plan for a world alliance has been evolved and agreed to
by the principal nations with proper guarantees of good faith, the United States must maintain adequate
military preparations for its defence. 4. That we are not adequately prepared to maintain our National
policies. 5. That the present defenceless condition is due not only to the failure to follow the carefully
considered plans of our naval and military advisers, but also to provide any reasonable measure tor gradually
putting such plans into practice.
Originally created for the purpose of awakening public sentiment to the necessity of National defence
and urging the enactment by Congress of defence legislation, the league has developed into an organization
of 100,000 members in all States ol the Union, with nearly 200 branches In cities and towns, and with seventy-
four citizens' committees appointed by Mayors and seventeen State committees appointed by Governors
to co-operate with the league in securing adequate preparedness. The latest declaration of the principles
of the league was made by its Executive Committee on June 29, 1916, and is as follows; The National Security
League holds »1th our military and naval specialists that our present, relative military and naval weakness
would render us an easy victim to the aggression of any first class power and that the cardinal requirements
for such a state of preparedness as will obviate the dangers to which we are exposed are as follows: First —
compulsory military training and service, wholly under national control, for all physically fit male citizens.
Second — a navy of such streneth as to make tlie United States the second naval power in the Atlantic and
concurrently the first in the Pacific. Third — that Congress should immediately make provision whereby
the industrial and transportation facilities of the Nation may be effectively mobilized in case of need. The
league will continue to strive for these objects and for such conditions as are necessary to fully achieve them.
Under the auspices of the league the following congresses and conferences have been held: Peace and
Preparation Conference, New York City, June 14-15, 1915; National Defence Conference, Cliicago, Novem-
ber, 27, 1915; National Security Congress, Washington, D. C, January 20-22, 1910; National Defence Con-
ference of Mayors and Mayors' representatives, St. Louis, Mo., March 3-4, 1916; National Defence Con-
ference, Charleston, S. C, April 28-29, 1916; National Defence Conference, Knoxville, Tenn., May 27, 1916.

chosen: Honorary President — Joseph H. Choate. Honorary Vice-President — Alton B. Parker. President —
Robert Bacon. Chairman Exectitive Committee, S. Bta.nivoo(i Menken. Secretary — Herbert Barry. Treas-

THE PILGRIMS.
The Pilgrims was organized In London during coronation year. 1902 It wag born of a desire
on the part of a few Anglo-Americans, who foregathered in London at that time, to have a society
that would stand for the promotion of good fellowship and friendship between Brltona and Americana
as individuals.
The British Pilgrims has a membership of 400. The American Pilgrims was organized In 1903
and has a membership of 600, which Is the limit specified In the rules. There Is a long waiting list oX
applicants.
The society takes no part In politics or affairs of state or church, but simply and solely the
cementing of friendship between citizens of the United States and Its dependencies and the subjects
of the British Empire. It exists for the one purpose of fostering by social means a friendly under-
standing between the people of the United States and those of Great Britain, and to bring distin-
guished visitors from Great Britain Into contact with leading citizens of New York and the most
eminent men of the country.
The citizens of the United States and Its dependencies and subjects of the British Empire, and
others prominent for their sympathy with the objects of the society, are eligible for membership, and
membership In one society ipso facto constitutes membership In the other.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT.
This association is a purely patriotic and In no sense a partisan society. It has been formed In the con-
viction that the opposition recently manifested In so many ways to tlie institutions of representative govern-
ment ^tablishld by the Constitution of the United States is the result in part of Ignorance of the significance
SfdvSue of the constitutional guarantees, and in the equally firm conviction that unlimited experiment
^socUl legislation is a menaco not only to these institutions and these guarantees, but to the permanent
eldfitence of real self-government. The primary aim of the a.ssoclation is to preserve these institutions and
th^^a?ant^.flret. by explaining thSlr meaning, and. second, by demanding a sufficiently deliberate
cS^dlratlon^ proposals of change In the National Constitution to warrant a reMoned acceptanceof them
be?ore their adoptlo^ President— V&v\A Jayne Hill. Treasurer— John Joy Kdson. Secretory— Charles

REPORT OF THE COLORADO COAL COMMISSION
AS PRINTED IN THE MONTHLY REVIEW OF THE UNITED STATES BUREAU OF LABOR
STATISTICS.
If at all In the southern field. Referring to the fear
of discrimination on the part of miners in the south-
ern field, the report says: "Your commission is
under the impression that the fear said to be enter-
tained by the miners, so far as the companies are
concerned, is probably exaggerated and is an im-
aginary fear rather than a real fear."
The commission speaks very favorably of the gen-
eral living conditions of the miners:
The housing conditions for the miners are excep-
tionally well provided, and every camp that we saw
appeared to be doing much for the comfort and wel-
fare of its employes Bathing houses are provided
in some Instances free and in some instances operated
for a charge of SI per month. If there is any charge,
the attendant looks after washing out the clothes
and hanging them up to dry and keeping the place
in order. Many of the camps have clubhouses with
pool tables a reading-room, and various games for
the enjoyment of the n::embers. and all of the clubs
are free for the use of the employes.
Schools are maintained for the benefit of the chil-
dren of the miners. In some Instances these schools
are provided by the company, at least to the extent
of furnishing the building for the same, though the
instruction is paid for by the county. In every in-
stance, however, the school Is within easy walking
distance, if not in the centre of the town or camp.
As regards the Indictment and imprisonment of
striking miners, the report comments as follows:
Your commission became aware of only one dis-
turbing element in the industrial situation. About
400 Indictments were found after the strike, and all
of these were of strikers. Some of the citizens of
Colorado believe that many illegal acts were com-
mitted on the part of the operators, and the justice
which finds all of the indictments on one side does
not seem to them even-handed. Your commission
naturally expresses no opinion as to the correctness
of this belief. It simply calls attention to the ex-
istence, of this feeling.
Again, It is believed by some, even among the op-
erators, that in many of these cases the State has
not sufficient evidence to convict. In such cases —
and your commission believes that there are such
— the men affected are suffering from great Injus-
tice, in that they are either confined in Jails, unable
to get bond, or if out on bond they are refused em-
ployment in Colorado on account of the Indictment
against them, and are prevented from leaving Colo-
rado or the jurisdiction of the court by their bonds-
men. As long as this condition of affairs exists the
industrial health of Colorado will be weakened by
this festering sore. It Is not the business of your
commission to weigh the rights and wrongs of the
case, but we should fall short of our duty If we did
not call attention to this feature of the situation
and emphasize the Importance to the State of pro-
viding a prompt remedy.
IN 1914 the President appointed a commission to
report upon the labor difficulties in the coal fields of
Colorado during the years 1914 and 1915. The com-
mission consisted of Seth Low, of New York City;
Charles W. Mills, of Philadelphia; and Patrick GU-
day, of Clearfield, Pa. This commis.sion submitted
its final report under date of February 23, 1916.
The report is very brief, containing merely a sum-
mary of findings, based for the most part upon a
personal visit of the commission to the Colorado
coal fields. In scope it Ls concerned primarily with
conditions In the coal fields as they existed after the
strike disturbances.
In its survey of conditions growing out of the
strike, the commission emphasizes two factors as
of particular importance: The creation of the Colo-
rado Industrial Commission, with extensive au-
thority in industrial disputes, and the plan of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company for regulating
the relations between the corporation and its em-
ployes. The Colorado Industrial Commission, un-
der its creative act, is given the power of compulsory
investigation of labor disputes, and for a period of
30 days during which the investigation is pending,
strikes or lockouts are forbidden under penalty.
Particular attention was devoted by the commis-
sion to the operation of the Industrial representation
plan of the Colorado Fuel and Iron c:ompany. Its
conclusion is that the plan was adopted by the com-
pany "In entire good faith and Is being operated with
a single-hearted desire to make it successful." The
opposition of organized labor to the plan is noted
and commented upon as follows:
It must be said that there is no effort being made
on the part of the organization to ascertain whether
the company is acting in good faith or not. Their
contention that the miners are not free under the
industrial plan to express their real opinions and
that they dare not avow their membership in the
union could readily be tested if one of their repre-
sentatives would express his real opinion and any
action were taken by the company against such in-
dividual. Your commission, upon hearing the com-
plaints to the effect that a member of their organiza-
tion would be promptly discharged if he made his
membership known to the foreman or his associates,
endeavored to have some individual follow this
course In order th.at your commission might discover
if there was any real discrimination on account of
membership in the organization, but we were un-
successful in getting any of the leaders with whom
we conferred to agree to such a course unless we
would guarantee that any one doing so would not
lose his place. That, evidently, was not our prov-
ince, neither was It in our power to do.
The charge of discrimination against former
strikers Is not regarded as well founded by the com-
mission. Its conclusion is that such discrimination
exists in some degree in the northern field, but little

The American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
TELEGRAPH RATES— Co7itinued.
On January 1st, 1912, a reduced rate on cable messages in plain language, taken on a delay basis, was
Inaugurated, and Is now in effect between most countries. Deferred cable messages must be written in
plain language of the country of origin or destination, must bear the declaration LCO (language country of
origin), LCD (language country of destination), or LCF (language country French, as an international lan-
guage), and are subordinated to full-rate messages In the order of transmission until an accumulated delay of
19 hours has occurred, when they take their turn with fully paid traffic. The tariff Is generally one-half the
regular rate, but on deferred messages between the United States or Canada and the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland the tarrif ia 3 cents less than half rates.
In December, 1911, the Western Union Telegraph Company inaugurated two new forms of cable ser-
vice. These new services, known as cable letters and week-end letters, are the cable equivalent of night
letters in the domestic telegraph service. In that they are predicated on the the use of facilities that otherwise
would be idle at night, and on delivery the following day. Unlike all other forms of cable service, the tolls
on which invariably are charged on a word basis, cable and week-end letters are charged on a message basis.
The minimum charge on cable letters is, for 13 words (including a necessary prefix), and in week-end letters
for 25 words (including a necessary prefix) . The tariff varies according to distance, but between New York
City and London is 75 cents and SI. 15 for cable and week-end letters respectively.

The independent telephone companies of the United States, which are owned and operated entirely
apart from the Bell organization, are represented In the United States Independent Telephone Association,
with headquarters in Washington, D. C, and Chicago, m. According to the United States Census of 1912,
there were 1,740 independent telephone companies with over S5,000 annual income, and 2,239,721 stations.
Many of these companies connect with the Bell system. The capital invested is approximately $300,824.-
000 and the income is about $48,950,000 per annum. The Independent companies, which are for the most
part financed In the territories which they cover, are particularly strong throughout the Middle and Far
West. They are established in nearly every large city in the United States except those on the Atlantic
Coast.

ELECTRICAL PROGRESS.
A REVIEW Of the industry during 1915-1916 specially prepared for Tub World Almanac by Theodore
D wight of the Engineering Department of the Society for Elecuical Development. Inc.
THE ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY.
Recent (igxires compiled on the electrical industry
show what a high place it talies in the resources
of the country.
Including tlie central stations, known isolated
electric plants, electric street railways, electrified
steam railroads, telephone, telegraph, electrical
machinery manufacturers and money invested by
electrical dealers, contractors and jobbers in their
business, the total foots up to a figure excee<ilng
S12.mw,000,000.
The number of persons employed in the industry,
1,02.S,0(X), and the annual earnings or sales, .S2,-
324,700,000.
The aggregate number of those employed in the
electrical Industry is 10 per cent, of all those engaged
in manufacturing Industries in the country.
The posiiion of the electrical Industry itself Is
most impressive, but when it is realized what the
application of electricity has meant in the develop-
ment and Increased output of other Industries of
the country it takes a still higher rank.
Its position as the foundation of our national
defence is acknowledged, and through the further
centralization of Its development It will have a
vast influence in the conservation of the fuel re-
sources of the country by the development of our
enormous water power.
A prominent baniung house has tabulated the net
earnings of over fifty iignting companies for the petiod
from August, 1913, to April, 1916, as representing
a twelve months prior to the European war, for
comparison with a period in war time when so
many Industries have l)een adversely affected.
This group of utilities shows a consistent rise in
net earnings amounting to a total of 33 1-3 p. c.
Increase.
The steady improvement in the financial con-
dition of public utilities, particularly in the electric
central station Held, is attracting general interest
to the securities of these companies and they are
being sought, not only by the Investing public but
by the more conservative bank and trust company.
At the time of writing this report, estimates baaed
on the l)usines3 of Uie electrical raanutactin-ers
show a 70 p. c. increase over similar period for 1915.
This means that the busmess of the electrical
manulacturers will exceed half a billion dollars.
The growth of the Electric Central Station is
shown by the following figures: S2, 098.613,122 is
invested ' in privately-owned plants in the United
States. The gross earnings for the first six months
of 1916 amounted to .S203, 500.000, or at the rate
of $407,000,000 for the year. This amount will
doubtless be largely exceeded by tlie final figures,
including the other six months. TtUa is a gain of
about 16 p. c. over 1915.
The amount of energy sold during the first six
months of 1916 was 10,875,000,000 Itiiowatt liours,
a gain of 24 p. c. over the previous year's figure.
This shows that the average price of cm-rent to
the consumer has been materially lowered.
Of this imm.eusc yearly total of nearly 22,000,-
000 000 Kilowatt hours for the whole United States,
5^ p. c, or about l-18th, is supplied by a single
company, the Commonwealth Edison Company of
Chicago.
In the City of Chicago 500 kilowatt hours per
capita is generated yearly as against 74 kilowatt
hours for the County of London, or for a better
comparison in Greater London, including electric
railways, only 150 kilowatt hours. If the railroads
of the Chicago district were electrified — a plan
that Is under consideration — 125,000 kilowatts
would be added to the present load, and the lines
and yards with 3,500 miles of track, would be
operated electrically, but through the operation of
overlapping peaks the existing power company
could handle it with a .saving of 150.000 kilowatts
of generating capacity over the amount the rail-
roads would have to Install if operating their own
generating plants. This represents a capital saving
of 830.000,000 and a yearly saving in fuel con-
sumption of nearly 6,000,000 tons.
Group systems of electric power generation in
our great centres ol population to supply current
for such iLse would mean the annual saving of
hundreds of millions of dollars of fuel consumption
and conser\'e by that much our coal resources that
are being po rapidly depieied.
Nearly 15,000,000.000 Kilowatt hours of electrical
energy out of a total of 22,000,000.000 generated
in the United States in 1916 was supplied by 37
central stations. This means that these 37 companies
furnished 63.2 p. c. of the current generated in the
total of 5,038 plants of the country.
The Minneapolis General Electric Company
shows a I ate of growth tliat is indicative of the
development of the central station industry:
Number of customers, 1910, 14,799; 1915, 38,660;
total kilowatt lighting connected, 1910, 21,957;
1915, 58,014.42; total kilowatt power coimected
1910, 14,969; 1915, 37,755.92; gas lights displaced
In year 1915, 42,133; appliances sold in year 1915,
11,178.
Electric exports for 1915 amounted to 824,308,510,
as against 519,963,115 the previous year.
There are 9,151.221 Bell Telephones In use in
70,000 cities and communities, with over 8,600,-
000,000 messages on these lines annually.
IMPROVED LIGHTING.
A large percentage of industrial accidents are
recognized to be due to poor lighting, that is, not
necessarily to too little light, but often to Its bad
distribution.
Good light may be secured at about the same
cost as poor. Proper lighting is estimated to cost
an amount generally less than 1 p. c. of the wages
paid, or equal to only two or three minutes of a
laborer's time a day. The time-saving due to
ethcient lighting sometimes runs as high as two or
three hours on certain days, and the higher pro-
duction secured will pay for any added cost many
times over.
Engineering societies, educational institutions,
and Health Departments are giving considerable
attention to this subject both in the education of
factory managements and by the passing of stringent
regulations. Pennsylvania, through Its Department
of Labor and Industry, has .succeeded in pa.ssing a
Code of Lighting wliich became operative June
1, 1916.
Proper lighting in office buildings and the home
hiis been often more neglected than in industries,
and is the cause of much suffering due to eye strain.
Recent interesting contributions to this subject
have been "A Code of Lighting for Factories, Mills
and Other Work Places," by the Illuminating
Engineering Society, headquarters in the Engineering
Societies Building, New York, by the series of
lectures in which this society has co-operated with
other institutions, among them the University of
Pennsylvania, where a series of twenty lectures
h.sa been given, and the recent studies of Dr. M.
McMillan of the Department of Health, New
York City.
The average candlepower of incandescent lamps
used ten years ago was 18 — it is now over 42.
Of the 20.500.000 homes in the United States
over 27 p. c. are electrically lighted.
A comparison of the cost of various forms of
light available to the public Is interesting:
Using the following sources of light 10c. will buy —
Candles at 20c. per lb 48 candlepower hours.
Kero.sene at 15c. per gal 465 candlepower hours.
GasoUne — 87 gray. — at 25c.
per gal 647 candlepower hours.
Acetylene at S60.00 per ton,
yielding 45 cu. ft. per lb. . . 746 candlepower hours.
City gas at SI. 50 per 1,000 cu. ft.
Open flame 293 candlepower hours.
Best mantle 1,143 candlepower hours.
Electricity at 8c. per kw. hr.
Obsolete carbon filam't. 390 candlepower hours.
Tungsten filament 1,062 candlepower hours.
Nitrogen filled 2,080 candlepower hours.
Flaming arc 5,000 candlepower hours.
TURBO GENERATOR DEVELOPMENT.
The past year has been marked by further In-
crcise in the capacities of turbo generator units.
Single units of 30.000 to 35.000 K. V. A. have
Electrical Progress — Continued.
207
become quite numerous, while much larger units
of the compound type have been contracted lor.
The largest ol the latter, so far, is the one for the
Interoorough Rapid Transit Company, with a
nominal rating of 60.000 K. V. A. and a two-hour
rating of 70,000. However, as these large artiflclaUy-
cooled units reach their ultimate temperatures In
practically two hours, the above reaUy constitutes
a continuous rating lor these units. A number of
similar type units of practically 50,000 K. V. A.
have been sold to various plants. The Interborough
unit consists of a high pressure ttu-bine connected
to a turbo generator, the high pressure turbine
supplying steam to two lower pressure turbines in
parallel, each driving a generator. The three gen-
erators are tied together electrically, practically
as a single unit. , , _ ^ _^
One of the notable conditions of the past year
has been the increase in central station turbo gen-
erator capacities in the moderate size cities. Many
of the stations In such cities have been buying
turbo generator units of relatively large capacity
compared with their preceding installations. Indi-
cating an enormous growth in central station service.
In small turbo generator units there has been a
very considerable growth in the gear-driven sets,
for both A. C. and D. C. macliines. In fact in the
D C. sets the gear drive has forced the direct
coupled units out of business, so that practically
none are sold at present. , . ^ ^ , ■
The volume of orders handled since the beginnmg
of the year is in excess of 2,000,000 iillowatta of
turbine rating.
CENTRAL STATION PRACTICE. ETC.
As mentioned before, there has been a very con-
siderable growth in central station service. The
field covered by central stations is Increasing rapidly,
and such stations have been reaching out for loads
not heretofore considered very satisfactory such
as electric railway service. With the old-time
smaller stations the railway loads undoubtedly
were objectionable from the central station stand-
point, but with the later larger stations, with much
larger and better regulated power units, the railway
loads have become less and less objectionable
until, at present, many central stations are endeavor-
ing to reach them, with the conseciuence that more
and more railway power stjitions are being shut
down, and oower is being purchased from the large
central stations. Formerly, the 60-cycle stations
did not consider themselves in a position to handle
large railway loads, due partly to shortcomings of
the rotarv converters, but through gradual im-
provements In the 60-cycle rotaries such service can
now be handled in a very satisfactory manner. Coinci-
dent with this there has been an enormous growth in
60-cycle vroTk compared with 25-cycIe, which was
used very extensively in former years. In some of
the large'r cities the growth in 60-cyclc service has
been twice as last as the 2.S-cycle growth, thus
clearly indicating the tendency.
Coincident with this growth there has been a
strong tendency toward larger capacity rotary
converters. In 25-cycl6 rotaries the 4,000-Ijllo\vatt
size has become quite common (both WtMting-
house and Crf-neral Electric). In 60-cycle, 3,500-
kilowatt 250-volt units of the synchronous booster
tvoe for voltage regulation have been contracted
for (Westinghouse); also 5.800 Icilowatts, 580
volts for copper refining in a Western plant (G. K.).
Thus the 60-cycle rotary Is now practically on the
same footing as the 25-cycle as regards capacities
which can be furnished by the manufacturers.
WATER-WHEEL DEVELOPMENT.
While no especially notable Installations of
recent date can be pointed out, yet there has been
a great Increase in water-power development, but
the electric machinery has been along well estat)-
lished lines. ^ _. ^ j ..v, ..
Franklin K. Lane, in a recent report, stated that
an amount of hydro-electric energy was running
to waste in this country to equal the daily labor ol
1,800,000,000 men, or thirty times our adult popu-
lation.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
The past year has shown no Important contracts
for heavy railway worli, although plans have been
made by several roads to extend very considerably
their present electrification.
The Norfolk and Western electrlflcatlon at
Bluefield (a. c.) has passed through the heaviest
year of service by far that the Norfolk and Western
has encountered.
The Phlladelphia-PaoU suburban electrlflcatlon
of the Pennsylvania Railroad (11,000 volts single
phase) has extended Its operation up to its full
contemplated service, and the Chestnut Hill branch
of this system is progressing actively toward com-
pletion. This Pennsylvania suburban electrlflcatlon
out of Philadelphia Is Interesting, In that It takes
power from the main station of the PUladelphla
Electric Company and has no power station of
its own. This is a further important stage In the
extension of central station service.
In connection with electric street railways the
decrease In competing "jitney" service is of con-
siderable Interest. However, the competition of
tlie "jitney" has Indicated certain possibilities of
smaller and lighter electric cars and more frequent
service in the cities, and one consequence of this is
that there is a certain tendency at present toward
smaller sizes In the popular railway motors.
The electrillcation of 440 miles of the St. Paul
Railroad between Harlowton, Mont., and Avery,
Idaho, has In every way exceeded the expectation
of both railroad officials and the manufacturers of
the equipment.
The novel features of this electrification are the
development of a direct current voltage of 3,000
volts, the development of the method of receiving
this current from the overhead wires, and the
regenerative braking.
D. A. Goodnow, assistant to the President and
in charge of the electrification, reports that on the
division which has teen electrified the work formerly
done by 24 heavy Mallet steam locomotives is
now being done more quickly and with greater
economy by nine electric locomotives.
The regenerative method of braking is of especial
interest and importance on this electrification.
There are many long, steep grades on this railroad
which crosses two mountain ranges. Where formerly
the tremendous energy stored In a heavy train at
the summit of tliese grades had to be dissipated
in heat In the brake shoes and wheels during the
descent, and caused the brake shoes to become
red-hot with overlieating of the wheel rims, this
energy Is now transmitted back to the lines by the
dynamic action of the motors and goes to haul
other trains up grades. A large saving in power
is thus effected, as well as the more Important
saving of wear and tear on rolling stock.
MILL WORK.
Possibly the most notable progress In steel mill
work in the last year has been In the electric opera-
tion of large reversing mills. While a number of
these have been sold and put In operation in tlie
past seven or eight years, yet the sale of such appa-
ratus for driving reversing mills has practically
trebled during the past year. No doubt the great
boom in the steel business has exaggerated this
tendency. Many of these reversing mill sets are of
very large capacity, some of tliem reaching 15,000
H. P. maximum. In general, they are all of one
type, each set consisting of a large motor-generator
coupled to a large fly wheel. The driving motor,
as a rule, is an induction motor with automatic
speed control for the purpose of .shifting the peak
load to the fly wheel. The generator is of the direct
current type, with means for varying and reversing
its voltage from zero to a maximum in either direc-
tion. The roll motors are of the direct current
type and have their speed varied by voltage varia-
tion at the generators.
ELECTRIC DRIVE FOR BATTLESHIPS.
Last year was marked by the extension of the
policy of the Navy to use electric drive for battle-
ships Two additional battleships, of the dread-
nought type, have been contracted for with electric
drive This method of propulsion has worked out
so satisfactorily that doubtless the Navy Depart-
ment will continue this policy to a certain extent
on the new vessels authorized in the recent Navy
Bill In the recent contracts for electric drive of
battleships, the installations In general will consist
of four induction motors, each direct coupled to a
propeller shaft. Each motor will have a normal
capacity -of about 7,000 H. P. The generating plajit
will consist of two turbo generator sets, each ol
208

approximately 15,000 K. V. A. capacity. Each motor
can give two operating speeds by pole changing.
The electric power that can be generated on the
Tennessee will be equal to the power consumed by
the central stations at New Orleans and Washing-
ton, D. C., with their suburbs, which serve a com-
bined population ol almost 700,000 souls, or 70
p. c. ot the size of the entire electrical development
In the State of New Hampshire.
SMALLER APPARATUS.
There has been considerable growth In the small
generator business for arc welding.
There has been notable advancement in the
selective protection of feeders and systems, through
relays, etc., thus improving the continuity of service.
There has been marked activity in industrial
heating apparatus, as distinguished from household
heating. There has been great growth in the heating
business as a whole, and in some cities the heating
load is rapidly approaching the total lighting load.
The subject of rates in general, and more par-
ticularly measuring devices that take into account
the demand featuie, has received much attention
during the past year.
RESEARCH WORK.
Owing to the tremendous boom in the electrical
business much of the facilities of the research de-
partments of the various electrical manufacturing
companies have been turned toward the engineering
and application side of the work, to meet the many
problems arising. While very great progress has
been made along the various lines, yet. In many
cases, this forms part of the general engineering
result and does not stand out prominently. Owing
to the gi-eat growth of the electrical work the re-
search facilities of all the manufacturing companies
have had to be very greatly increased during the
past year. In fact one of the great tendencies during
the pa.st year has been toward incre^ise in research
work and research laboratories by industrial inter-
ests as a whole The electrical busine.ss has, in
general, led other industries in this respect, due
probably to the more complex nature of the problems
which are encountered in the electric field.
ELECTRIC REFINING OF STEEL.
The unprecedented demand during the last year
for high-grade steel has been a great stimulus to
the development of the electric furnace for the re-
fining of steel.
Steel renned in an electric furnace can be made to
conform to any specifications, since from the nature
of the fuel no physical impurities or impurities from
oxidization are introduced with the fuei and the
temperature of the furnace is easily controlled by
the operator.
Moreover, castings made of electrically refined
steel are better able to withstand the stress of a
sudden shock, have a higher tensile strength and
are less liable to a change in internal structure due to
crystallization when intermittent load is applied
than steel refined in any other type of furnace
Another point of superiority of an electric furnace
is the fact that the capacity of a single furnace may
be greatly increased.
The crucible used in the onen hearth method of
refining steel holds only 100 to 160 pounds, and It
was a great tribute to German machine-like train-
ing and commercial efficiency that the Krupps were
able to pour very large castings with crucible steel.
This was accomplished by iiavlng an army ol work-
men working together, so that the steel in a large
number ol crucibles (often many hundreds) was
ready at the proper time, and then pouring the
casting from these crucibles.
The ingenuity of the engineer has substituted the
electric furnace with its capacity at present of 25
tons. The usual capacity of the electric furnace for
refining steel Is from IH to 2H tons, though the
average capacity of the furnaces installed In the
United States Is above this, and there has been in-
stalled atUglne. France, a furnace of 25 tons' capacity.
As an example of the progress made, the Iron Age
In a recent article says:
"In 1910 there were 10 electric furnaces in the
United States and 104 elsewhere in the world. In
1913 there were 19 in the United States against 121
elsewhere. In 1915 there were 41 against 172 else-
where. On .Tanuary 1. 1916. there were 73 against
230 elsewhere, while at the present time there are
no less than 100 ia the United States against 250
elsewhere."
This indicates that the United States has taken
a decided lead in the production of high-grade steel
since the war began.
The furnaces installed in this country are of larger
average size than those Installed in Europe, and so
the relative production of electrically refined steel
in this country and elsewhere is even greater than
would be Indicated by the number of furnaces.
The furnaces In operation in the United States
represent the utilization of 135,000 H. P. and give
a tonnage output of over 1,100,000 each year.
A Western copper refining company which re-
fines 330,000,000 pounds of copper annually has been
able to effect a saving of one cent per pound of cop-
per refined by the complete electrification of its
mine and refining plant. This company uses an-
nually 700,000,000 kilowatt hours of electric energy,
or over 2 kilowatt hours per pound of copper refined.
FIXATION OF NITROGEN.
One item of the more than 3600,000,000 appro-
priated for defence by the last Congress, and an
important item from its bearing on the prepared-
ness issue, was that of S20, 000,000 for a hydro-electric
plant for the manufacture ot nitrates from the free
nitrogen of the air.
The nitrogen of the atmosphere Is "fixed" or
changed into a useful form by passing a current of
air through a continuous electrical discharge.
The nitrogen and oxygen ot the air combine un-
der the action of this electrical discharge to form
the oxides of nitrogen used to make nitric acid,
which is so necessary in the manufacture of high
explosives.
Since Chile furnishes almost the entire supply of
nitrates at present, our country would be in a serious
dilemma were this supply shut off in time of war.
These nitrates with which Chile furnishes the
world come from very large natural deposits along
the CliJlean coast. They are very important as
fertilizers in times of peace and are vitally neces-
sary In the manufacture of high explosives. The
export duty on them ts one of the great sources of
income to the Chilean Government.
The cost of making nitrates by tne electric method
is just a little more than tnat paid for Chile nitrates.
The normal price of sodium nitrate (Na NOo) deliv-
ered at west coast points is S30 per ton. At §9
per H. P. year for electric power the cost of pro-
ducing sodium nitrate by the electric fixation of
nitrogen would be S32 per ton.
However, there is Included In the $30 price of the
natural product from South America, an export duty
of Sll per ton levied by the Chilean Government,
and this would probably be reduced if the electrical
product were offered in competition, which fact
makes necessary the assistance of our Government
if we are to have a domestic supply.
Another method of ' tixing" the nitrogen of the
atmosphere is accomplished by reason of the fact
that at moderately high temperatures this nitro-
gen of the air combines with calcium carbide to form
cyanamid. Though this action is not brought about
in an electrical furnace, yet it requi.'-es In calcium car-
bide a product of the electric furnace. The power
consumption in the manufacture of cyanamid is
much less per unit of combined nitrogen than in the
direct oxidation method. However, other cost
factors bring the total cost of each product to about
the same total. The cost ol cyanamid being about
S35 a ton.
ELECTRIC HEATING.
During the past year there has been a remark-
able development in the use of electricity for healing
purposes, both domestic and Industrial
There has been a general impression that the cost
of electric energy was entirely too high to permit
of Its use for this purpose except in such small quan-
tities as that necessary to operate an electric iron,
coffee percolator, chafing dish, toaster or such small
devices.
That this impression is a wrong one is most con-
clusively shown by the fact that in the rate files of
the Society for Electrical Development there are
listed 3,335 communities which have special rates
for electricity for cooking and heating purposes of
5 cents or less per kilowatt hour. Of these 70 p. c.
are 4 cents or less and 32 p. c. 3 cents or less. This
is also shown by the fact that over 52,000,000 worth
of electric ranges have been sold during the year.
At the Montana State Hospital, Warm Springs,
Mont., there is an electric range installed to cook

for 1,500 persons, or 4,500 meals per day. The
largest installation for electric cooKlng at present
la at Slemerstadt. near Berlin, Germany. This
electric kitchen has a capacity for serving 3,000 per-
sona, or 9,000 meals per day. Ttie electrical dish-
washing apparatus In this kitchen is also most
complete
Applications of industrial electric heating are in-
numerable, ranging from an electric steel refining
furnace of 25 tons' capacity to the electrically heated
gloves used by the British aviators.
There has been a wide application of electric heat-
ing to glue pots, wax pots, and embossing heads for
bookbinding machines
The greatest single advance In the industrial heat>-
Ing field was made in the development of an elec-
tric heater for japanning ovens. The explanation
of the marked superiority of electric heat In such
ovens is this: the tivo important reactions in baking
Japan are driving out the volatile oils and oxidizing
the japan films. In a gas oven one of the products
of combustion is water vapor, the presence of which
retards the drying proces.s. This means a slower
bake and less lustre to the finish The oxygen of the
furnace is also used up by the burning gas and oxi-
dization of the film requires more time.
Temperature is another Important factor and the
electric oven gives a much more positive control by a
thermostat. The capacity of a japanning oven is
increased at least 25 p c, due to tne decreased time
required, and another saving is ellected by arranging
an automatic control whereby both sides of a rotary
oven are filled and electric time and thermostatic
switches control the baking operation during the
night. The first charge is held at a predetermined
temperature for a definite time. The oveu is then
rotated and this charge cools while the other charge
is kept at the proper temperature tor the proper
time The operation of the oven may be thus made
practically continuous.
The price of high-speed too) steel has increased
over 700 p. c. since the beginning of the war. The
grsat.er quantity of this steel is receiving the heat
treatment in electric lurnacas. In the old style gas
furnace expert care was necessary, and even then
much material was spoiled through the difficulty of
regulating the furnace temperature. This has been
entirely eliminaied by the use of the electric lurnace
with its perfect control.
Electric furnaces are also used where accurate
and clean heat treatment is necessary, as is the case
In tempering finished tools or machine parts. Tem-
pering is no longer a matter entirely of experience
and personal judgment. The electric furn.ace can be
easilv adjusted to any required temperature and
maintained at that temperature, thus dispensing
with the judgment necessary in the use of a gas
furnace.
Another application of electric heating which is
becoming more and more important is that of weld-
ing. This is accomplished by the electric resistance
or electric arc method. In the former a heavy cur-
rent of electricity is caused to pass across the Joint
to be welded .so that the resistance of the joint to the
flow of current causes the metal near the Joint to be
brought up to the welding temperature. The pieces
are then pressed together, completing the weld.
This method is very economical and quick, and re-
sults in an excellent weld, since the heat is applied
without introducing impurities into the material.
Usually no flux is required. There are two methods
of welding with the electric arc. One in which a car-
bon electrode is used and the other in which a metal
electrode is used. For ordinary purposes the metal
electrode is most suited for welding, and the carbon
electrode la generally used only for cutting metals.
The intense heat of the electric arc, when properly
applied, affords a very effective method of cutting
metals and is being frequently used for this purpose.
Another use of the electric arc with metai electrode
is the depositing of a layer of metal on the worn sur-
face of large castings, switch plates, and for filling up
cracks and blow holes. When castings have slight
Imperfections, or when a large machine part be-
comes too much worn for further use, instead of
being thrown in the scrap heap it Is sent to the elec-
tric welder, has a new wearing surface deposited on
it and is aa good as new.
TELEGRAPHY.
An American, Col. George O. Squler, MlUtary
Attach^ at London, has Invented a notable im-
provement in transmission of cable messages, the
most radical since the Installation of the first trans-
atlantic cable.
The result Is accomplished by substituting a
low frequency slngie-pUase sine-wave alternator in
place of tiie make and break oattery current trans-
mitter. The alternating current is not broken.
By the use of a single time element for the difterent
durations of dot, dash and space he effects economies
that are startling. In tlie record received a dot la
a single stroke, the dash a triple one, but of the
same lengtli as the dot and space. Special skill io
not required in reading the record making a highly
paid operator unnecessary.
The saving in paper alone will mn into many
thousands of dollars a year. The new alphabet
also permits direct relay from cable to land wires.
The substitution of the sine-wave for the old
square-topped wave permits higher power being
used with more certain results and without danger
of puncturing of cable insulation due to high voltage
produced by the higher harmonics of the square-
topped wave.
Twice as many letters can be transmitted Dy the
new method in a given time as compared with the
old, and there is a further saving of time of six
hours a day, due to its not being necessary in the
Squier system, to ground the current after each
signal to clear the circuit of the excess charge which
has to be used in the older method.
To analyze the saving, each transatlantic cable
costs about 52,500,000; with the Squier system
two cables can now do the work of three.
These economies are figured on the use of only
4 to 10 cycles per second. It is believed that higher
frequencies up to 50 per second can be used with
corresponding speed and resultant economies.
When it is realized that the same principal is
applicable to long distance land lines the value of
Col. Squier's method can be appreciated.
Though there has been no ad.'ance in wireless
during the year 1916 as notable as the achievement
ot simultaneous communication with Hawaii and
Paris from New Jersey by wireless telephone, which
took place in 1915, yet during 1916 the range of
wireless communication has constantly broadened.
The increasetl range of communication between
land stations and ships at sea has been remarKacle.
Messages sent out by the station at Tuckerton,
N. J., using a 00-kilowatt Fedoral-Pouisen arc
trans.mitter, have been read in the early evening
by the S. S. Ventura when 530 miles southwest of
Samoa, approximately 8,000 miles from luckerton.
Constant communication between San Francisco
and the Sierra, a vessel of the Ocean Steanislilp
Company, wliich is equipped with a 5-kiiowatt
Federal-Poulsen arc transmitter, has been main-
tained more than 4,870 miles.
Wireless operators near New York have recently
been surprised at the clearness with which they
have been able to hear music played by a phono-
graph and transmitted by experimenters at Tufts
College. The wireless transmission of speech and
music Is no longer unusual, but the distinctness and
clearness with wtiich this music can be heard Is
surprising.
A De Forest oscillion bulb is used to provide the
high frequency current necessary. Tlie Improvement
in the method of introducing the voice to the high
frequency circuit results in increased clearness.
Further improvements may be expected from
experiments being conducted along this line.
One peculiarity in the transmission ot phono-
graph music by wireless is the elimination of the
scratching noise, which is such an objectionable
feature of musical reproduction, and whicii is caused
by the friction of the needle on the surface of the
record. This is a sound ot too high frequency to
affect the wireless circuit, and is not transmitted.
The music which Is received by the wireless outfit
always surprises one hearing it for the first time
because of the absence of this mechanical scratching
noise.
Mr. T^ee De Forest, who invented and developed
the audlon lamp amplifier, has brought the atten-
tion of musicians to the wonderful musical tones
and effects which may be produced by the audlon
lamp. By varying the elements of the circuit peculiar
drum not«s may be produced os well as notes imi-
tating the flute, violin, and other instruments.
Wire communication from New York to San
210
Electrical Progress — Continued.
Franclaco has been established on a commercial
basis and no longer excites wonder. The American
Institute of Electrical Engineers held meetings
simultaneously in six cities interconnected by
telephones. The members present at this meeting
were each provided with a telephone receiver enabling
them to hear what was going on in the other cities.
The roll was called with 500 present at Atlanta,
Ga., 700 present at San Francisco, at Boston 900,
at Philadelphia 850, at Chicago 1,000, and at New
York 1,100. Members at Denver and Salt Lake
City listened to the proceedings, but were not
connected so as to take part.
During the closing months of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition there was installed a piece of electrical
apparatus which attracted much attention and
comment from both the public and from engineers.
This was an electric transformer rated 1,000
K. V. A., 60 cycles— 2,200 to 1,000.000 volts. In
the design of such a transformer radical departures
had to be made In the methods of insulating the
coils. The commercial transformers in use at present
depend for theU- insulation on specially treated
cotton tape, with which the wire is covered, supple-
mented by the oil in which they are immersed.
In this case the wires were not wrapped and oil is
depended upon altogether as the insulating medium.
The high voltage winding is made up of 190 coils,
rated at 5,300 volts, each connected in series, giving
a rated voltage of 1,007,000 volts.
Each of these coils is wound with 212 turns of
aluminum foil, 8 mils, by 135 rfiUs., separated by
three thicknesses of paper 6 mils, thick. Each
poll is 3' 7" inside diameter and 4' 3" outside diameter.
The assembled high tension coil is 5' 11" long.
The transformer weighs 30,000 lbs., and contains
26,000 separate pieces. More than 400 miles of
paper, aluminum and copper are used in its con-
struction.
When completed it was placed in a concrete tank,
pyramidal in shape, open at the top and with a
rim measuring 16' x 18"; 7,3 12 H gallons of oil are
required to fill the tank and completely cover the
transformer.
Many Interesting experiments were conducted
with this apparatus. When it was operating at
400,000 volts pressure the air was so charged
that a person alighting from an automobile at a
distance of 50 feet would receive a shock as his
feet touched the ground. Sparks could be drawn
from any insulated piece of metal and hair pins
and metal parts of clothing became distinctly
uncomfortable within this distance.
The apparatus will be used to investigate many
high voltage phenomena and to test the insulating
properties of material ased for insulating high
tension currents.
ELECTROTHERAPEUTICS.
Increased use is being made of electricity by the
medical profession, notably in replacing the laborious
and slow ma.ssage treatment in building up shrunken
muscular tissue of soldiers wounded in the war.
In peaceful America the same apparatus is being
utilized to build up the tissue of victims of infantile
paralysis.
Stimulation for the affected limbs is accomplished
by the application of static, galvanic, and sinusoidal
current, and by electrically driven vibrators and
exercising machines.
Among the interesting applications of electricity
in new roles in the service of mankind the motor-
driven gyroscope takes a leading place. The gyro-
compass has reached a high state of development,
and has been adopted by the leading navies of
the world for their capital ships, and all submarines.
The gyroscope of the compass is driven by a small
electric motor and rotates at 8,600 R. P. M. The
complete apparatus \s inclosed in a vacuum, so
that only .234 H. P. is required for its operation.
The advantage of the gyrocompass is that it is
not affected by magnetic disturbances — the motion
of magnetic bodies about it — and that It always
indicates the true north.
Moreover, any number of auxiliary compasses
may be operated from the master compass, which
permits the installation of accurate compasses In
all the Important parts of a ship, as Captain's cabin.
Are control room, bridge, and other places. As
many as seventeen auxiliary compasses have been
placed on one English battleship.
It has been applied to a dead reckoning instru-
ment by means of which a submarine may take
the bearings of a vessel at a great distance — sub-
merge and run by dead reckoning to a point close
enough to the vessel to make the torpedo eftectlve.
The motor-driven gyroscope is also being suc-
cessfully applied to the stabilizing of vessels— that
is, to prevent them from pitching and rolling.
This is of great Importance to the Navy and several
installations have been made on vessels of the Navy.
The importance of stabilizing a war vessel is
apparent when the difference of the effectiveness
of flre from a steady platform and Irom a moving
platform is considered.
If the number of hits made by a navy can be
doubled this is equivalent to doubling the size of
the na^'y. The ships on which the stabilizer has
been placed range from the smallest submarine
chaser to an 11,000-ton battlesliip.
The outfit on the submarine chaser consists of a
gyroscope 24" in diameter revolving at 4,000 R.
P. M. This outfit will change a roll of 45° when
the boat is making 40 miles per hour to less than
4°. The outfit weighs less than 1 p. c. of the total
tonnage of the vessel for which it is designed. The
largest installation that has been made at present
has two gyroscopes 9' in diameter and weighing
50,000 lbs. each.
The stabilizer can be used either to prevent a
ship's rolling or to cause it to roll. This peculiar
property is taken advantage of in rolling a ship
which is stuck on a mud bank or a sand bank.
The outfit has been placed on ice breakers to roll
them and prevent their packing in the ice after
striking a blow and before they can be withdrawn.
An apparatus called the gyroscope roll and pitch
recorder has been developed and is being used in
the Navy acceptance tests to record the roll and
pitch of vessels.
The stabilizer has also been developed for use
on the aeroplane. This outfit weighs only 40 lbs.
An aeroplane equipped with such a control recently
flew for 30 minutes with pilot and passenger without
the hand controls being touched.
In conjunction with this stabilizer there has
been developed an instrument called the anemometer,
and the two greatly reduce the hazards of flying.
Many accidents have occurred because the pilot,
when climbing with an aeroplane, has no means of
judging Ins relative velocity. If he attempts to
climb too rapidly his machine will fall backward to
earth. This instrument operates electric controls
and takes the control out ot the hands of the pilot
when the relative velocity of the macMne and the
air reaches the critical point — whether this is due
to an attempt to climb too r.apidlj' or to engine
failure. The controls change the planes so that the
aeroplane volplanes tintil the safe relative velocity
has again been regained and then the control is
again turned over to the pilot.
The most powerful searchlight in the world is
installed on the roof of a Brooklyn building.
The beam of this searchlight has been seen from
a distance of 60 miles, and experiments are being
made to use the beam of light to signal Philadelpliia,
a distance of 91 miles.
The extraordinary power of this searchlight
results from the use of small carbon electrodes
and the confining of the arc crater or light source
to a very small area. The positive electrode is
only y^ " in diameter, and has a core which is
filled with light-producing material of a secret
composition. The mechanism of the lamp is cooled
without cooling the crater of the arc. The result
is a deep and narrow crater of enormous intrinsic
brilliancy, giving about 500 candlepower per square
millimeter, or three and one-half times the brilliancy
of the standard carbon arc. The source of light of
a searchlight must be as small as possible, and It
must be maintained at the exact focus of the mirror.
In the case of this searchlight this is effected by a
thermostatic control which will maintain the arc
within 1.5 millimeters of the exact focus.
An observer standing near this searchlight would
be dazzled by its powerful beam, so the searchlight
Is equipped with an electric control which permits
It to be operated at any distance. The observer
should be stationed at least a mile from the search-
light.
It may be remarked that the beam from this
searchlight will quicldy "stmbum" any part of the
body exposed to its effects.
Interstate Commerce Commission.
211
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION.
The original act to regulate commerce, approved
February 4, 1887, provided for a commission con-
sisting of five members. By various ameudatorj'
and supplementary enactments the powers of the
commission have been increased and the scope of
the reg\ilating statute materially widened. Among
the more important of tliese enactments are the
acts of March 2, 18S9; the Elkins act, approved
February 19, 1903; the Hepburn act, approved
February 29, 1906; the Mann-Elkins act of June
18, 1910; and the act of August 24, 1912. Under
the act of June 2^, 1900, the commission is now
composed of seven members.
The act to regulate commerce applies to all
common carriers engaged in the transportation of
oil or other commodities, except water, and e.xcept
natural or artificial gas, by means of pipe lines, or
partly by pipe lines and partly by railroad, or
partly by pipe lines and partly by water, and to
telegraph, telephone, and cable companies (whether
wire or wireless) engaged In sending messages from
one State, Territory, or District of the United States
to any other State, Territory, or District of the
United States, or to anv foreign country, and to
common carriers engaged in interstate transporta-
tion of passengers or property wholl.v by railroad
(or partly by railroad and partly by water when
both are used under a common control, manage-
ment, or arrangement for a continuous carriage
or shipment) ; also to express companies and sleeping-
car companies, and to bridges or ferri&s used or
operated in connection with any railroad engaged
in interstate transportation.
The act to regulate commerce requires all rates
to be reasonable and just; prohibits preferential
rates for transportation service performed under
llue circumstances and conditions; prohibits undue
or unreasonable preferences or advantages !n rates
or facilities and the charging of a higher rate lor a
shorter than for a longer haul, over the same line,
in the same direction, the shorter being included
within the longer haul. It is provided, however,
that the coramis.slon may, in special cases, after
investigation, authorize carriers to charge less for
longer than for shorter distances. The commission
Is authorized to ren.uire carriers to establish through
routes and joint rates. The coinmission is also
authorized to require caiTiers subject to the act to
construct switch connections with lateral branch
lines of railroads and private sidetracks. The act
provides that where two or more through routes
and through rates shall have been established,
shippers shall have the right to designate in writing
via which of such through routes the property shall
be transported to destination.
The commission has jurisdiction, upon complaint
or in a proceeding instituted upon its own initiative,
and after full hearing, to determine and prescribe
reasonable rates, regulations, and practices; to
award reparation to injured shippers, and to require
carriers to cease and desist from unjust discrimina-
tion or undue or unreasonable preferences.
Carriers are required to publish and file all rates,
rules, and regulations applying to interstate traffic,
and are prolilbited from engaging in interstate
transportation unless such rates, rules, and regula-
tions are published and filed. Severe penalties are
provided in the statute for failure to observe the
rates and regulatioiLS sliown in the published tariffs.
The commission may inquire into the management
of the business of all common carriers subject to
the provisions of the act to regulate commerce,
and may prescribe the accounts, records, and
memoranda which shall be kept by the carriers,
which shall be open to examination by the com-
mission through its authorized agents or examiners.
Carriers are required to (lie annual reports with
the commission, and such other reports as may
from time to time be required.
The commission appoints a secretary, who is its
chief administrative and executive ofBcer. an
assistant secretary, and such attorneys, examiners,
special agents, and clerks as are necessary to the
proper performance of Its duties.
By the act of June 18, 1910 (Mann-Elklns law),
the JurLsdictlon of the commission was increased
as to through routes and joint rates, freight classifica-
tion, switch connections, long and short hauls,
nUng or rejection of rate schedules, investigations
on own motion, determining reasonable rates,
suspension of proposed rates, and other matters.
This act also authorized the President to appoint
a special commission to investigate questions per-
taining to the issuance of railroad stoclis and bonds.
By act approved .August 24, 1912 (section 11), a
new paragraph was added to section 5 of the act
to regulate commerce, by which it is made tmlawful
after July 1, 1914, for any common carrier subject
to the act to regulate commerce to own. lease,
operate, control, or have any Interest in any com-
peting carrier by water. Jurisdiction is conferred
upon the commission to determine questions of
fact as to competition, after full hearing, on the
application of any railroad company or other carrier,
and to extend beyond July 1, 1914, the time diulng
which such ownership or operation of vessels plying
elsewhere than through the Panama Canal may
continue, when it is found to be in the interest of
the public and is of advantage to the convenience
and commerce of the people, and not in restraint
of competition.
At the same time section 6 of the act was amended
by adding a new paragraph conferring upon the
commission jurisdiction over transportation of
property from point to point In the United States
by rail and water, wiiether through the Panama
Canal or othernise, and not entirely within the
limits of a single .State, this jurisdiction, under
certain conditions, including power to establish
pliysical connection between lines of the rail carrier
and the dock of the water carrier by directing the
rail carrier to make such connection; to establish
through routes and maximum joint rates over such
rail and water lines, and to determine the conditions
thereof; to establish proportional rates by rail to
and from ports, and to determine to what traffic
and in connection with what vessels and upon what
terras and conditions such rates shall apply; and
to require rail carriers entering. into through routing
arrangements with any water carrier to extend the
privileges of such arrangements to other water
carriers.
By the act approved March 1, 1913, amending
the act to regulate commerce, the commission Is
directed to investigate, ascertain, and report the
value of all the property owned or used by every
common carrier subject to the provisions of the act.
Jurisdiction is conferred upon the commission
to enforce certain provisions of the act approved
October 15, 1914, to supplement existing laws
against unlawful restraints and monopolies In so
far as such provisions relate to carriers subject to
the act to regulate commerce. The act prohibits,
with certain exceptions, carriers from discriminating
between purchasers in sales of commodities, and
from making leases or sales of commodities and
from acqiiiring stock or capital of other corporations
engaged In commerce tending to substantially les.sen
competition or create a monopoly; makes it a felony
for a President or other specified officers to mis-
appropriate a carrier's funds; and provides that
after two years from the approval of the act no
carrier shall have dealings in securities or supplle",
or contract for construction or maintenance to the
amount of more than SoO.OOO in the aggregate in
any one year, with another corporation or organiza-
tion when, by reason of common officers or otherwise,
there exists a commimity of interest between the
carrier and such other corporation or organization,
except as a result of free competitive bidding under
regulations to be prescribed by the commission.
The commission is further authorized to investigate
violations of the act by carriers and to require the
guilty p.arties to cease therefrom, and its findings
of fact in such invcstigatlcas shall be conclusive
when supported by testimony.
The urgent deficiency appropriation act approved
October 22, 1913 provided that the Commerce
Court should be abolished from and after December
31, 1913, and that the jurisdiction theretofore vested
In the Commerce Court under act approved June
18, ]>)10. be transferred to and vested in the several
District Courts of the United States.
The act approved March 4. 1915. which became
effective June 2. 1915, makes common carriers
liable for all damage to property caused by them,
and forbids, with certain exceptions, limitations of
liability.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION— CoreJiraaed.
The act of February 11, 1903, provides that
suits In equity brought under the act to regulate
commerce, wherein the United States Is complainant,
may be expedited and given precedence over other
suits, and that appeals Irom the Circuit Court He
only to the Supreme Court. The act of February
19, 1903, commonly called the Elkins law, prohibits
rebating, allows proceedings in the courts by in-
junction to restrain departures from published
rates, and provides that cases prosecuted under
the direction of the Attorney-General in the name
of the commission shall be included within the
expediting -act of February 11, 1903.
Under the act of August 7, 18S8, all Government-
aided railroad and telegraph companies are required
to (ile certain reports and contracts with the com-
mission, and it is the commission's duty to decide
o.uestlons relating to the interchange of business
betweeii such Go^'crument-aided telegraph company
and any connecting telegraph company. The act
provides penallies for failure to comply with the
act or the orders of the commission.
The act. of March 2, 1893, imown as the safety-
appliance act, provider that railroad cars used in
Interstate commerce must be eqiUpped with auto-
matic couplers, and drawbars of a standard height
for freight cars, and have grab irons or handholds
In the ends and sides of each car; and that locomotive
engines used in moving interstate traflic shall be
equipped with a power driving-wheel brake and
appliances for operating the train-brake system.
The act directs the commLssiou to lodge with the
proper District-Attorneys information of such viola-
tions as may come to its knowledge. The act of
March 2, 1903, amended this act .so as to make
its provisions apply to Territories and the District
of Columbia, to all cases when couplers of whatever
design are brought together, and to all locomotives,
cars, and other etiuipment of any railroad engaged
In interstate traffic, except logging cars and cars
used upon street railways, and provides for a mini-
mum number of air-braked cars in trains.
By act of April 14, 1910, the safety-appliance
acts were supplemented so as to require railroads
to equip their cars with sill steps, hand brakes,
ladders, nmning boards, and roof handholds, and
the commission was authorized to designate the
number, dimensions, location, and manner of
application of appliances.
By act of May 6, 1910, the prior accident-reports
law was repealed and a new statute pas.'sed giving
more power to the commission as to investigating
accidents, and is more comprehensive than the
former law.
The act of March 4, 1907, makes it the duty of
the Interstate Commerce Commission to enforce
the provisions of the act wherein it is made unlawful
to require or permit employes engaged in or con-
nected with the movement of trains to be on duty
more than a specified number of hours in any 24.
The act of May 30, 190S, directs the Interstate
Commerce Commission to make regulations for the
safe transportation of explosives by common carriers
engaged in interst.ate commerce. A penalty is pro-
vided for violations of such regulations.
The act of May 30, 1908, makes it the duty of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to enforce the
provisions of the act wherein it is provided that
after a certain date no locomotive shall Ije used
in moving interstate or foreign traffic, etc.. not
equipped with an ash pan which can be emptied
without requiring a m.an to go under such locomotive.
A penalty is provided for violations of this act.
The act of February 17, 1911, confers jvirisdietion
upon the commission to enforce certain provisions
compelling railroad companies to equip their loco-
motives with safe and suitable boilers and appur-
tenances thereto.
By an amendatory act approved March 4, 1915,
the powers of the commission to inspect and ro
prescribe standards of safety for locomotive boilers
and appurtenances thereto was extended to include
"all parts and appurtenances of the locomotive
and tender."
The urgent deficiency .appropriation act approved
October 22, 1913, contains an appropriation of
S25.000 to enable tiie commission to investigate
and test block signals and appliance.s for the auto-
matic control of railway trains, and appliances or
systems intended to promote the safety of railway
operation, including experimental tests of such
systems and appliances as shall be furnished, in
completed shape, to the commission for investigation
and test, free of cost to the Government, in accoidance
with the provisions of joint resolution approved
.Tune 30, 1906, and sundry civil appropriation act
approved May 27, 1908. Provision was m.ide in
the sundry civil appropriation acts approved August
1, 1914. and March 3, 1915, for continuing the
investigation and testing of these systems and
appliances.
MILITARY ORDER OF THE CARABAO.
A military organization composed of those officers of the United States Volunteer or Regular
Army, Navy, Marine Corps. Philippine Scouts, or as a Naval cadet or midshipman, or as acting as-
sistant surgeon, contract surgeon, contract dental surgeon, or any person who served as an enlisted
man in the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps and subsequently received a commission for
appointment in any of the above named classes, and accredited war correspondents who served In
the Philippine Islands between May 1, 1898 and July 4, 1902. Members of the order are knov/n
as Carabao. The oldest lineal male descendant of a Carabao is eligible for membership. The
order is composed of a main body at Washington, known as the Main Corral, and branches in Manila, P. I.;
San Francisco, Cal.; San Antonio, Tex., and Fort Monroe, Va.
The order was created for the purpose of fostering a high standard of military and social duty
and to perpetuate the memories and associations of military service in the Philippines during the
early days of American occupation. The origin of the order grew out of an Idea conceived at a
dinner at the Officers Club In Manila shortly after the return of troops from China in 1900. The
name was suggested by Major George L. Byram, United States Army, in recognition of the services
rendered to tlie American forces by the faithful carabao, the principal beast of btirden In the Phil-
ippines. The emblem of the order Is a carabao's head on a pendant. The officers of the Main
Corral are elected each year. , _ „
Officers of the Main Corral: Grand Paramount Carabao (National Commander) — Admiral Thomas B.
Howard, U. S. N. Grand Patriarch of the Herd (National Vice-President) — Major-Gen. James B. Aleshire,
U. S. A. Grand Lead and Wheel Carabao (I^'alional Secretary and Treasurer) — Major Joseph M. Heller,

es are not comparable with similar items for prior
years. In 1915 the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission for the first time prescribed rules to govern
the railway companies in the classification of steam
railway employes and their compensation for the
annual reports required to be made by such com-
panies to the Commission. These rules, which
became formally effective on July 1. 1915, divide
employes with respect to occupation into 68 classes,
and though, in anticipation of the rules, provision
was made in report forms for the year ended June
30, 1915, for returns covering the same classes of
railway employes, the returns in some cases were
insufficient for satisfactory compilation. In re-
ports for years prior to 1915. railway employes
were assigned among 18 classes, which were not
defined in any rules Issued by the Commission.
Investment In road and equipment — Tne figures

CAPITALIZATION OF RAILWAY PROPERTY
On June 30. 1915. according to the annual reports submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission
by roads, the par value of the amount of railway capital outstanding was 521.127.959,078. This amount
includes capital securities held by the railway companies concerned, as well as by the public. Of the total
amount there existed as stock 58.994.894,721. and as funded debt $12,133,064 357.
Of the total capital stock outstanding for the roads under consideration, 53.415.472.806. or 39.55 per
cent., paid no dwidends. The amount of dividends declared during the year (by both operating and non-
operating companies represented In this statement) was 5328,477.938. being equivalent to 6.29 per cent
on dividend-paying stock. The average rate of dividends paid on all stocks outstanding pertaining to the
roads under consideration was 3.80 per cent.

dicate holdings, during past year, t October 1, 1916, one-seventh of the total railroad mileage of this
country, on wluch is over one-ninth of the total capitalization, was in the hands of receivers. Total mileage
of such roads Ls 37,530, with a total bonded debt of 81,488,137,616 and capital stock of 8653,929,551. This

OPERATIONS OF BRITISH RAILWAYS.
(Report of U S. Vice-Consul- General, London.)
Government return.s show tliat during 1913 the railways of the United King-dom carried
1,228,316,000 pa-ssengers and 371.571,000 tons of freight. Tlie passengers were divided into classes
as follows: First, 26,025,000; second, 12.088.000; third, 933,498,000, and workmen, 256,705,000.
The number of season-ticket holders is estimated (o have been about 595,000.
The length of the lines, reduced to single track, was 55,4;t8 miles. The gross receipts of the
companies were $677,674,724, of which $277,044,978 was derived from passenger traffic, $324,-
191,830 from freight traffic, and $76,438, 115 from other sources, mainly subsidiary busine.sses. 'I he
gross expenditure was $424,563,193, of which $383,494,799 was devoted to operating expense.?,

Corporation Pensions in the United States.
CORPORATION PENSIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.
The following table shows the estimated number of employes on the following roads now
having pension systems In force. In general all the roads here shown base their pensions on a per-
centage of the employe's wages, multiplied by the number of years that he has been In service For
example, the rate on the Pennsylvania Is 1 per cent. A man having worked 40 years received a
pension equal to 40 per cent, of his average salary for the 10 years preceding retirement Most
companies Include In their rules a reservation of the right to v.iry the rate of pensions if the total
requirements of any one year shall demand more than a predetermined gross amount. All of the
companies In counting time Include years of service under other companies bought by or consolidated
with the present one. Short breaks In the service not due to any fault of the employe, or due to a
minor fault Involving suspensions, are generally overlooked.

The U. S. Steel Corporation dedicated S8. 000.000 for a fund with which to pension superannuated
and disabled employfe. This fund has been consolidated with the $4,000,000 fund created by
Andrew Carnegie after he sold out his holdings In the Carnegie Steel Company to the U 3 Steel
Corporation. The fund is known as "The United States Steel and Carnegie Pension Fund.' Its fifth an-
nual report was made public January 26. 1916. The report shows that since January 1, 1911. when the fund
was established, there has been a total distribution to retired employes of the Steel Corporation, in pensions,
ol 32,234.410.75. For 1915 the distribution amounted to 3659,389.42, an increase of S147.421.52 over the
distribution for 1914. and a gain of 8377.932.05 over the first year. There were 3.002 beneficiaries of the
pension fund on January 1, 1915, and 697 pensioners were added, and 316 discontinued in the year. The
average monthly pensions added for the year amounted to $20.85, this being a 40 per cent, advance over
the average for 1914.
Announcement of a pension system, aHeeting more than 15,000 employes, was made by Wells
Targo & Co. on June 1, 1916. It makes provision for contingencies ranging from sudden death to disability

A pension system was inaugurated by the Interborough Company on January 2, 1916. embracing all
employes who have attained the age of 70 years and who have been in the service not less than twenty-flve
years, as well as those who have been in the service for twenty-flve years or more and have become physically
and permanently disabled. The allowance is computed on the time of service, with a minimum of 820 per
month. At the present time there are twenty-six employes carried on the pension roll.
Two million dollars, with an addition of 3400,000 each year, has been set aside by Swift & Co. as a pen-
sion fund for its 30,000 emplo.ves. Hereafter any employ^ who has been with the concern twenty-flve years
and reached the age of sixty, in the case of a man, or fifty. If a woman, may retire and receive a good part
of the salary earned at the time of retirement.

•This is the largest and most powerful locomotive ever built and is the so-called Triplex Compound,
which was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Erie Railroad and was completed in April, 1914.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works were building two additional locomotives of substantially the same type
for the Erie Railroad at the time Almanac went to press. It is 105 feet long, weighs 853,060 pounds, and
has actually hauled 251 fifty-ton fully loaded gondola cars, with a total train load weight of 35,824,000
pounds. It is capable of hauling a train of 640 freight cars of a total length of four and three-quarter miles
and weighing 90,000,000 pounds. It is a new type of articulated locomotive and goes beyond the Mallet
articulated type by the addition of another pair of cylinders and another group of driving wheels, making
three complete engines in one locomotive unit. Each engine has four driving wheels on each side, the com-
plete locomotive, therefore, having twelve driving wheels on each side, eight of which are under the loco-
motive itself and four under the tender. This Triplex locomotive has 89 per cent, of the total weight of the
engine and tender on drivers. The large Mallet locomotives have but about 65 per cent, of the total weight
on drivers. This locomotive is used for pusher service on the eight-mile grade of the Erie east of Susque-
hanna, Pa., which is a grade of 56 feet to a mile and the new locomotive handles the same weight of train
up this grade that was formerly handled by two Consolidation and one Mallet engines.
t This is the heaviest non-articulated locomotive ever built. (Built in 1915.)
t This is the most powerful class of Pacific type of locomotive built. They are in service on the Blue
Ridge Mountains and haul trains of ten steel passenger cars, weighing a total of 674 tons, up a grade of
80-foot rise to the mile at a schedule speed of 25 H miles per hour.
§ These are now considered the standard locomotives for heavy freight and passenger service under
ordinary conditions. The Mikado is replacing the old Consolidation locomotive in freight service. The
Pacific type is for heavy fast passenger business.
f This :s the largest passenger locomotive in Europe.
(a) Tractive Effort — This is the effort exerted by a locomotive in turning its wheels by the action of
the steam against the pistons which, through the media of the crossheads, rods, etc., causes them to revolve
and the locomotive to move along the rails. The drawbar pull which a locomotive actually exerts at any
given time depends upon its speed upon grades and other things. The formula for a simple locomotive
for the tractive effort is
T
0.85P X 02 X S
where T = tractive effort in pounds. P = boiler pressure in pounds per square inch, C = diameter of cylinders
in Inches, S = stroke of piston in Inches, D = diameter of driving wheels in inches.

block is designated by number. Rates are stated
from one block to all others, and apply from all ex-
press stations within the initial block to all stations
In the destination block. A directory of express
stations shows the number of the block in which the
station is located, also indicates those stations at
which collection and delivery service is performed.
Express traffic is divided into three classes: First
class Includes all merchandise other than articles of
food and drink, which, with few exceptions, fall
within the second class, and certain printed matter,
such as books, pamphlets and advertising matter,
falling within the third class. Second-class rates are
75% of the first class, and third class are one-half

ance of 25% from the gross weight is made, except
during December, January and February, when 15%
is allowed.
The express classification, containing rules with
which the shipping public should be familiar, also the
tariffs, are posted in express offices and depots and
may be inspected at any time during business hours.
Express rates are dependent upon the value of the
property. When the value as stated by the shipper
is greater than S50, or 50 cents per pound If the weight
exceeds 100 pounds, the rate increases 10 cents for
each SlOO or fraction thereof in excess of the above.
The express receipt, which is uniform with all
express companies subject to the provisions of the
act to regulate commerce, contains the following:
Company will not pay over $50 In case of loss, or 50
cents per pound on shipments in excess of 100 pounds,
unless a greater value Is declared and higher rates
paid.

Foreign Carrying Trade of the United States.
ALASKA RAILROAD.
On April 10, 1915, President Wilaon announced the selection of the route for the Alaska railroad to
be built by the Government.
The route adopted Is known as the Susitna route, and extends from Seward, on Resurrection Bay, t«
Fairbanks, on the Tanana River, a distance of 471 miles. This route includes the existing Alaska Northern
Railway, which runs from Seward through the Kenal Peninsula for a distance of 71 miles to Turnagain
Arm. and it is to be bought from its present owners by the Government for SI, 150.000. The contract for
the purchase of this road was signed by Secretary Lane of the Interior Department.
From Turnagain Arm the route is to be extended through the Susitna Valley and across Broad Pass
to the Tanana River, and from there on to Fairbanks. It is to be a standard-gauge road. A side line is
to run from Matanuska Junction Into the MatanusUa coal fleld, a distance of 38 miles. The road is to be
built with its present base at Ship Creek, on Cook Inlet. The grade from the Matanuska fleld to Ship
Creek is four-tenths of 1 per cent.
The Alaska Northern is to be put into operative condition and will be used as a base for extending
the line along Turnagain Arm. Under the contract approved by the President the road Is taken over free
Irom all debt or obligation of any kind.
The estimated cost of construction of this line from Seward to Fairbanks, including the Matantiska
Branch, Is §26,800,000. The President has made an order directing that the work be carried on by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission.
During the year 1916 grading has been completed on the 38-mile branch to the Matanu.ska coal field
from Matanuska Junction, a point 36 miles northeasterly from Anchorage, a tidewater point on Cook Inlet,
Alaska, where construction began a year ago, and the rails are now being laid on this branch line. It Is antici-
pated that the line will be completed before the end of the open season. At Moose Creek, a point on the
branch line about 12 miles from Matanuska Junction, a coal mine has been opened and coal is now being
taken out for the use of the railroad and the town of Anchorage. Clearing and grading are under way on other
portions of the line, particularly at points northward from Matanuska Junction, .southerly from Anchorage
toward Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet and in the vicinity of Talkeetna (the junction of the Talkeetna and
Susitna Rivers about 100 miles north of Anchorage) . The heaviest work to be encountered on the line is the
liard rock cllfTs along Turnagain Arm. Blasting and excavation for the line here will be actively pursued
during the Winter. The Alaska Northern Railway, extending from Seward to Kern Creek, a distance of 71
miles. Is being rehabilitated throughout, and put into condition to haul construction material for the work
along Turnagain Arm between Kern Creek and Anchorage. Clearing and grading are under way on the
northern end of the main line In the vicinity of the crossing of the Tanana River at a point known as Nenana —
the aim being to connect the Fairbanks mining region with the Nenana coal fields (a distance of 110 miles)
as early as possible. By the end of the present working season It is anticipated that at least 85 miles of new
construction will have been completed.
Trains ai'e being operated regularly for freight aud passenger service between Anchorage and Matanuska
Junction, also on the Alaska Northern Railway.

UNITED STATES BUREAU OF MINES.
Director — Van H. Manning, Washington, D. C. (56,000).
The general purpose of the Bureau of Mines of the Department of the Interior is to conduct, in behalf
of the public welfare, fundamental hiQuiries and Investigations into the mining industry. Two phases of
the Industry of greatest National concern are safety and efficiency — safeguarding the lives of our miners
aud Insuring the most efllcient and least wasteful development and use of our mineral resources.
These inquiries and investigations are National in scope; they do not contemplate the safeguarding
of the lUe of the individual miner nor the promotion of the interests of the individual mine owner or operator,
but seek the development of methods that will Increase the safety of all miners and will promote the
upbuilding and permanence of the whole mineral Industry. Yet, although the advancement of the public
welfare is the primary purpose of this work, it is obvious that broad fundamental inquiries and researches
cannot fail to confer benefits on the individual miner and the individual mine owner. Hence, the function
of the Bureau of Mines may be defined as the conducting of inquiries and investigations that have for their
purpose the Improvement of health conditions, and the increase of safety, efflciencj', and economic develop-
ment In the milling, quarrying, metallurgical and miscellaneous mineral industries of the country.

WORKERS IN THE UNITED STATES, BY ACE AND COLOR OR RACE.
(From a report of the Bureau of Census, July 9, 1914.)
More than eight In every ten (81.3 per cent.) males ten years of age and over In the United States
In 1910 were engaged in gainful occupations, according to the figures presented In the Report on
Occupations issued by the Director of the Census. In the tabulatio"n of occupations lor this report
.all gainful workers were distributed In the following five ag# periods: Ten to thirteen years,
fourteen to fifteen, sixteen to twenty, twenty-one to forty-four (including age unknown), and forty-
flve years and over. In the lowest age period, ten to thirteen years, the proportion of males gainfully
occupied was one in six (16.6 per cent.); in the next age period, fourteen to fifteen, the proportion
more than doubled, being over two in each five (41.4 per cent.); and in the age period sixteen to
twenty the proportion Increased to almost four in five (79.2 per cent.). The proportion was highest
for the age period twenty-one to forty-four years (including persons oj unknown age). In this age
period 96.7 per cent, of the males were gainfully occupied; or slated otherwise, only 3.3 men out of
every 100 In this age group were without gainful occupation in 1910. Iruithe highest age period,
forty-five years and over, the proportion of males gainfully occupied was 85.9 per cent.
The proportion of all males ten years of age and over engaged in gainful occupations was slightly
larger in 1910 than in 1900, but this increase was confined to two age periods, sixteen to twenty and
twenty-one to forty-four. In each of the other age periods the proportion of gainful woEkers was
smaller In 1910 than in 1900, the decrease being greatest for the age period fourteen to fifteen.
Of the females ten years of age and over, 23.4 per cent. we?e engaged in gainful' occupations
In 1910. The proportion was 8 per cent, in the age period ten to thirteen; 1978 per cent. In the
age period fourteen to fifteen; 39.9 per cent, in the age period sixteen to twenty; 26,3 per cent. In
the age period twenty-one to forty-four; and 15.7 per cent, in the age period forty-five years and
over. ' The large proportion" of the females sixteen to twenty years of age engaged in gainful occupa-
tions Is accounted for by the fact that in this age period all the females are old enough to work, and
matrimony has had little effect In decreasing the number of workers.
There was a marked increase from 1900 to 1910 in the proportion of all females ten years of
age and over engaged In gainful occupations, or from 18.8 to 23.4 per cent. In each age period
also the proportion of the gainful workers was considerably larger In 1910 than in 1900.
COLOR OR RACE OF WORKERS.
Of the 30,091,564 gainfully occupied males in the United States in 1910, 14,855,825 were native
whites of native parentage, 5,285,811 native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 6,588,711 foreign-
born whites, 3,178,554 negroes, and 182,663 Indians, Chinese, Japanese, and all other. The pro-
portion which the gainfully occupied males formed of all males ten years of age and over In each
principal class of the population was. for native whites of native parentage, 78.5 per cent.; native
whites of foreign or mixed parentage. 76.5 per cent.; foreign-born whited, 90 per cent.; negroes, 87.4
per cent ; and Indians, Chinese, Japanese, and all other, 80.8 per cent.
Native white males of native parentage formed 49.4 per cent, of the male gainful workers, as
compared with 51.1 per cent, of all males ten years of age and over; while the corresponding per-
centages for native white males of foreign or mixed parentage were 17.6, as compared with 18.7
per cent.; for foreign-born white males, 21.9, as compared with 19.8 per cent.; and for negro males,
10.6, as compared with 9.8 per cent.
Of the 8,075,772 gainfully occupied females, 3,098.639 were native whites of native parentage,
1,722,279 native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 1,222,791 foreign-born whites, 2,013,981
negroes, and 18,082 Indians, Chinese, Japanese, and all other. The proportion which the gainfully

percentages for native white females of foreign or mixed parentage were 21.3, as compared with
20.3 per cent.; for foreign-born white females. 15.1, as compared with 16.3 per cent; and for negro

KNOWLEDGE OF CONSULAR LAW NEEDED IN TRADE WITH FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.
(Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce Bulletin. September 23, 1915.)
AN understanding of the main principles of the
customs and consular regulations of the United
States aSectlng imports and exports will enable the
American exporter to look at the question of the rules
prevailing In other countries from the foreign point
of view, and to avoid the tendency to consider every
foreign consular regulation as mere red tape and im-
position, in the view of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce,
which has made a close study of the problems to be
solved by those engaged in selling American goods.
It has been found, for instance, that the exporter
to Latin-American countries is apt to grumble con-
siderably at having to fill out the many details on
his consular Invoice, but is often unaware that Just
as many, if not more details are required by the
United States In American consular Invoices
It is pointed out that one of the main requLsites for
a good all-round export man is a thorough knowledge
of such regulations, especially those affecting the
Republics of Central and South America. In order
thoroughly to grasp these regulations, the student
should analyze the purpose for which they are promul-
gated. He will find that the main objects are two, in
all countries. The fees exacted for consular certifica-
tion are largely for the upkeep of the consulates in
the various cities and for the remuneration of the
consular officers. The bulk of the regulations, how-
ever, are made and enforced in order to comply with
and carry out the Import customs requirements of
the countries of destination, each country naturally
having Its own customs laws and provisions.
In advocating a mastery of American requirements
as preliminary to a proper understanding of those of
foreign lands, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce mentions a few of the details which have
been found to be of importance. Any brief state-
ment, however, must of necessity be a kind of
bibliography to be studied by the commercial student
at his leisure, and to be enlarged upon by him accord-
ing to the particular subject that may really be of
interest to him.
For all goods Imported into the United States
amounting to SlOO or more, there must be taken out
a consular invoice, which must be cert.ifled by the
United States Consul at the point of sale, manufac-
ture, or shipment of the merchandise. The fee for
each certification is S2.50. Three copies of the con-
sular Invoice are usually made out. The original
copy is retained by the Consul for his files, a duplicate
Is given to the exporter, stamped with the official
seal of the Consul and bearing the revenue stamp of
S2.50; a triplicate Is forwarded by the Consul to the
Collector of Customs at the port to which the goods
are consigned, and sometimes a quadruplicate is
given to the shipper as an extra file copy.
There are two forms of consular Invoices — one a
blue form for showing when goods have been pur-
chased outright and are the property of the consignee,
and a white form issued when the goods are sent to
the United States on consignment and are still the
property of the shipper.
On arrival in the American port the shipment has
to be entered within forty-eight hours of the official
entry of the vessel at the Custom House. Goods not
entered within forty-eight hours are sent to the
general order warehouse as unclaimed, often entailing
heavy storage and cartage expenses.
Several kinds of entries can be made. If goods are
free of duty or if they are needed for Immediate con-
sumption, an import or consumption entry Is made.
If they are not needed Immediately a warehouse
entry is made and goods are stored in warehouse, to
be withdrawn at a later date In one or more package
lots. Parts of packages cannot be withdrawn from
bond.
Another entry Is an I. T. (immediate transporta-
tion) entry, which means that goods are shipped
through to another city of the United States In bond
(in sealed cars), and that the required entry will be
made by the ultimate consumer or bis agent in that
city.
Forms or blanks approved by the Treasury De-
partment must be used in clearing merchandise.
^Vhen properly filled out by the Importer or his rep-
resentative, they are filed with the consular invoice
and bill of lading in the Custom House, and duty Is
assessed at the appropriate rates, gauged from the
invoice description. A portion of the consignment
is designated by the Collector's representative for
examination by the appraiser, and the balance of the
shipment is delivered to the importer. If the ap-
praiser finds that the goods are correct in value and
invoice description, and there are no other facts
known to the authorities which lead them to doubt
the correctness of the invoice in general, the entire
consignment is considered as released and the im-
porter secures a delivery permit for the portion re-
tained for examination.
Should the appraiser desire to examine any other
cases than those preliminarily examined, he orders
the additional cases to the appraiser's warehouse,
under the conditions of a bond given by the Importer
at the time of entry.
In the matter of merchandise which the Importer
wishes placed in Government bonded warehouse, the
same form as to examination is followed, the differ-
ence being that the duty is not paid until the importer
desires to secure actual delivery, and he then files
what is known as a ' duty paid without entry." In
the case of such a warehouse entry, a bond is given
by the Importer and his agents guaranteeing thpt the
goods warehoused will be withdrawn from bond and
duty paid on them or that they will be exported
within three vears from date of entry.
Duties paid at time of entry ore considered a de-
posit only and the entire entry is subject to review
and liquidation, which is made after the appraiser
has taken action on the invoice. Appeals from the
action of the appraiser are of two kinds — one an
appeal from his valuation, the other from the duty
suggested by him. These appeals are heard by a
Board of General Appraisers, and In certain cases
by the United Stat-es Court of Customs Appeals at
Washington.

AGRICULTURAL RANK OF STATES.
(Report of Bureau of Census, February 13, 1914.)
The general report on the census on agriculture of the Thirteenth Census discloses some Inter-
esting facts regarding the crops of the country and the relative rank of the States In regard to the
value of all farm crops according to farm values.
Eleven of the leading crops in 1909 showed a total aggregate value of $4,813,281,000. or approxi-
mately 90 per cent, of the total value of all the crops of the United States, which amounted to 85,487,-
161,000. Of these eleven leading crops corn was the most valuable, followed by hay and forage,
cotton, wheat, oats, vegetables (of all kinds), forest products on farms (timber, lumber, etc.), pota-
toes, tobacco, barley and apples, in the order named. The value of the corn crop alone was $1,438,-
554,000; that of cotton, $7(33,619,000; that of wheat, $657,657,000; that of vegetables, $216,257,000;
that of tobacco, $104,304,000.
The relative rank of the first nine States In regard to value of crops showed that Illinois led
with a total valuation for all farm crops of $372,000,000; Iowa was second with $315,000,000: Texas
third with $298,000,000, followed by Ohio with $230,000,000; Georgia, $227,000,000; Missouri,
$221,000,000; Kansas, $215,000,000: New York, $209,000,000, and Indiana, $204,000,000.
The State of Illinois ranked first in Its production of corn, followed by Iowa and Missouri In the
order, named. New York ranked first In the production of hay and forage, followed by Iowa and
Wisconsin. Texas ranked first in the production of cotton, followed by Georgia and Mississippi.
North Dakota was first In the production of wheat, followed by Kansas and Minnesota. Illinois
was first In the production of oats, followed by Iowa and Minnesota. New York led in the pro-
duction of vegetables and Ohio was second. North Carolina ranked first in the production of forest
products on farms (timber, lumber, etc.), followed by New York and Virginia. New York was
first in the production of potatoes, with Pennsylvania second and Maine third. Kentucky ranked
first in the production of tobacco; North Carolina second and Virginia third. Minnesota ranked
first in the production of barley, followed by California and Wisconsin. New York also raiiked first
In the production of apples, with Michigan second and Pennsylvania third.
A summary of the relative rank of the States In these eleven leading farm crops shows that
New York ranked first in four; Illinois first In two, with Texas, North Dakota, North Carolina,
Kentucky and Minnesota ranking first in one each. Iowa ranked second in three of those above-
mentioned crops, with Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Cali-
fornia and Michigan ranking second In one each. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Virginia each ranked
third in two of these crops, with Missouri, Mls3l3.slppl, Pennsylvania and Maine third In oaeeacb.
RANK OF COUNTIES BY VALUE OF CROPS.
(Report of Bureau of Census, March 25, 1914.)
Los Angeles County, Cal., took the first rank as regards value of crops of all the 2,950 counties
of the United States, according to the final report on the census of agriculture, 1910. Lancaster
County, Pa., ranked second as regards value of the production of crops; McLean County, 111., was
third; Whitman County, Wash., fourth; Livingston County, III., fifth; Iroquois County, 111.,
sixth; La Salle County, 111., seventh, and Aroostook County, Me., eighth.
The valuation (at the farm) of the crops raised in Los Angeles County, Cal., according to the
census, was $14,720,900; Lancaster County, Pa.. $13,059,600; McLean County, 111., $12,811,600:
Whitman County, Wash., $12,540,700: Livingston County, III., 811,377,300; Iroquois County, III.,
$10,607,800: La Salle County, 111., $10,222,200, and Aroostook County, Me., $10,151,000. The
total valuation of the crops raised in these eight counties was $95,491,000, or about 2 percent, of the
total valuation of all crops raised in the United States, which was $5,487,161,000.
The principal crops raised In Los Angeles County In the order of their value were fruits, etc.,
hav and forage, live stock, dairy products, etc., and vegetables: of Lancaster County Pa., corn,
wheat and oats, and live stock and dairy products; of McLean County 111.; Whitman County, Wash.;
Livingston County, 111., and La Salle County, 111., corn, wheat, oats and cereals, and of Aroostook
County, Me., potatoes and vegetables. The principal crops of the United States, in the order ot
their value, were the cereals, corn, wheat, oats, etc., hay and forage, and cotton.
Some Interesting data are presented by the figures for the value per acre and per capita of the
crops raised In these eight banner counties ot the United States. The figures for Los Angeles County
show that the total value of the crops raised there averaged $35 per acre and 829 per capita (the city
ot Los Angeles with a population of 320,000, being within Los Angeles County, Is the chief reason
for the low rate per capita); for Lancaster County, Pa., $28 per acre and $78 per capita; for Mc-
Lean County, 111., 818 per acre and $188 per capita; Whitman County, Wash.. $14 per acre and $377
per capita; Livingston County, 111.. 818 per acre and $281 per capita; Iroquois County. III.. $16 per
acre and $298 per capita; La Salle County. 111.. $17 per acre and 8113 per capita, and Aroostook
County. Me., $23 per acre and $136 per capita. The corresponding crop value figures (at the farm)
for the United States for the same year were 816 per acre and $60 per capita.

Wool of Classes I. and II. are used for the manufacture of cloths, dress goods, and similar fabrlca
Domestic wools are of these two classes. Class III. wools are used principally In the carpet manuIactuTe
and are practically not grown in the United States. The domestic wool shown in the above taljie is the
quantity in its greasy state as shorn from the sheep and includes 28,800.000 pounds of pulled wool. Fleece
wool Is w.ool shorn from living sheep. Pulled wool Ls wool removed from the skin of slaxightered animals.
Reduced to the scoured condition fit for use in manufacture, the annual production, both fleece and

THE MORRIS PLANs
The Morris Plan of Industrial loans and investments — named for Its originator, Arthur J. Morris —
has been In operation in Norfolk. Va.. since March. 1910. and to-day is operated in about thirty other cities
tliroughout the country. Loans are usually made In the amount of $50 or multiples thereof. They are
based on character and earning capacity, and are secured only by the borrower's note indorsed by two
co-makers. If a loan is granted a small fee is charged toward the cost of investigation, and the note la
discounted at the legal rate of interest. At the same time the borrower subscribes for one or more of the
lending company's certificates of investment for an amoimt equal to his loan, and in purchase thereof pays
$1.00 a week for fifty weeks on each $50 borrowed. At the end of the year he can cash in his certificate
and with the money thus obtained redeem his note. To encourage the habit of saving. Morris Plan companies
sell certificates of Investment, either for cash or on the instalment plan, to others than borrowers. These
certificates begin to bear interest at 4 per cent, when twent.y-flve payments have been made, and at 5 per
cent, when they are full paid. Holders of interest-bearing certificates can borrow on them, without
Indorsements or other securities, an amount equal to the total payments they have made in purchase of
the certificates.
At the close of the year 1916 over $25,500,000 had been lent to about 200.000 borrowers on the
Morris Plan In sums averaging less than $128. The subscribed capital of Morris Plan companies exceeds
$7,000,000. The largest auxiliary institution is the Morris Plan Company of New York (Equitable Build-
ing. 120 Broadway), of which Henry R. Towne is President.
These companies are organized throughout the United States by the Industrial Finance Corporation
(52 William Street, New York), which has a subscribed capital of 83,700.000. Oflicers — Clark Williams,
President: Arthur J. Morris Vice-President; Charles H. Sabin. Treasurer; Joseph B. Gilder, Secretary.

relating to the conveying and recording of land
titles, and the foreclosure of mortgages or other

AMERICAN DAIRY EXPORT TRADE.
(Compiled by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic C
Cheese, butter, and other butter fats are again
Important factors in our export trade after a iong
period of comparative inactivity. In the early
nineties the United States was selling abroad between
20 million and 30 million pounds of butter, from 50
million to 80 million pounds of cheese, and from 5
million to 10 million pounds of imitation butter
annually. In later years, however, cKporr.s of this
class decreased in a marked degree, anil in the fiscal
year 1914 had fallen far below the quantities named.
In the year just ended there was a continuation ol
the revival begun in 1914 in all these lines, with
totals closely approximating the high levels touched
in the decade from 1890 to 1900.
The large gains made by domestic dairy products
and butter substitutes are well illustrated by tigures
published by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Depart,ment of Commerce, in the June
.'Nummary of Foreign Commerce. Butter, varying
from 3 million to 5 million pounds annually in our
export trade, in 1916 went to 13 1-2 million poimds.
During this period imports of butter were greatly
reduced, falllug from a little less than 8 million
pounds in 1914 to less than 3-4 million pounds
last year. ■
American cheese, which since 1905 fluctuated
between 2 1-2 million and 17 million pounds, went
to 44 million pounds in the fiscal year 1916 Here
also, as in the case of butter, the trade balance was
on the export side, for the year's imports of cheese
in 1916 only totalled 30 million pounds, a decrease
of 33 3-4 million pounds from the total for 1914.

sums valued at between 1 million and 2 million
dollars annually, in 1916 rose to 12 1-2 million
dollars in value, the quantity (156 million poimds)
being nearly 10 times that of 1914.
Imitation butter contains in addition to oleomar-
garine oil some butter fat. The exports of this
article rose from 2 1-2 million pounds in 1914 to
5 1-2 million pounds in 1916.
England and Canada are our largest foreign
markets for butter, cheese, .and condensed milk.
ICugland took, in 1915, the latest fiscal year for whicli
(lata are at hand. 3 1-3 million pounds of butter.
out of a total export of 10 million pounds; 48 1-2
million pounds of cheese, out of a total export of r>o
million pounds, and 4 million pounds of condensed
milk, out of a total export of 37 million pounds.
C:uba, Hayti, Panama, Australia, and Venezuela
:ilso take considerable qu.tntities of American
liutter; Canada. Panama, and the West Indies are
important markets for our cheese, while Cuba,
ficlglum. the Netherlands. China. Japan, Hongkong,
Rus.sla. Chosen. Panama. Brazil and Peru take
large amounts of American condensed milk.
These exports, while important, represent a very
small proportion of the annual products of the 60
million cattle on American farms, valued at more
than 2 1-3 billion dollars. As long ago as 1909, the
latest period covered by the National census, we
produced 1,619 million pounds of butter. 321 million
pounds of cheese, and 5,814 million gallons of milk,
while the quantity of oleomargarine on which
internal revenue tax was paid in 1914 aggregated
142 million pounds.

COAL PRODUCTION.*
AREA Of coal fields In the United States, 450.839 square miles. Including 89.482 square miles supposed,
but not definitely known, to contain usable coal, and 28,470 square miles in which the coal lies under cover
3,000 or more feet in thickness. Estimated available supply at close of 1913 (short tons). 3,538,506.328,300.
In regard to the coal supplies of the countries outside of the United States, the Geological Survey does
not know of any official estimates, with the exception of those of Great Britain, which have been placed by
the Royal Commission of Coal Supplies at approximately 180,000,000,000 short tons A statement by
the Secretary of the Bituminous Coal Trade Association places the German supply at 164,344,000,000 short
tons; Canada's known supplies at 100,000 000,000 short tons. Japan at 50,000,000.000 short tons Estimates
in short tons lor the other countries of Europe are as follows. France, 25.000.000,000 Austria-Hungary,
30,000,000,000 Belgium, 20,000,000 000. Spain 4,000,000,000
The same authority places the contents of the Chinese fields at 1.500,000.000,000 short tons His
estimates of the areas in square miles of the countries outside of the United States are as follows China.
232.500. Canada. 65.000: India, 35,000, New South Wales, 24,000. Russia. 20,000. Great Britain, 12.000;

Central Asia, and Africa 180 000
A monograph of the Coal Resources of the World was compiled by the Executive Committee of the
Twelfth International Congress of Geology, which met at Toronto Canada, August 7 to 14. 1913. The total
re.sources are estimated at 7.397,533 million tons, of which 4,000,000 million tons are bituminous. 3.000.000
million toas brown coal and the remainder anthracite.
The world's annual production of coal in short tons In countries approximating 1.000.000 tons or more
are as follows, with the year in parentheses- United States (1914) 513.525.477. Great Britain (1914) 297.698,-

(1912) 982,396 The total world's production in 1911 was approximately 1,310 000,000 short tons, in 1912
approximately 1,374,550.000 tons, in 1913 approximately 1,477.755,000 tons, and it Is estimated that in
1914 the total decresised to about 1,345.322 000 short tons The United States in 1914 contributed 38
per cent Great Britain 22 per cent., and Germany 20 per cent In 1914 the United States decreased its
production approximately by 56,000,000 tons, or 10 per cent , Great Britain by 24,000,000 tons, or 7 per
cent, and Germany by 11,000,000 tons, or 4 per cent. Great Britain exceeded Germany's production in
1914 by 27 000,000 tons. *Owing to war nothing later available.

EMPLOYEES IN MUNITION PLANTS.
Statistics of 1906 placed the number of men in the Krupp works at 30,000. A recent work on the Krupps
places the number of employes at Essen just before the war at 85,000, and states that since the declaration
of hostilities the number has been increased to 100,000. In connection with the strike at the Remington
Arms Company works at Bridg'.:port in August, 1915, the following figures were published, giving the number
of men employed in the various arms and munition factories of New England at that time:
Remington Arms and Ammunition Company . 16,000
Union Metallic Cartridge Company 14,000
Winchester Repeating Arms Company 15,000
Colt Patent Fire Arms Company 3,000
Smith & Wesson Company 4,000
Hopkins and Allen 3,000
Iver Johnson Arms Company 2,500
General Electric Company (Pittsfield) *8,000
Marlin Fire Arms Company 2,000
American and Pritish Manufacturing (Jompany 5,500
J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company 4,000
U. S. Cartridge Company 2,000
* In addition to this number the General Electric Company has about 15,000 employes in Schenectady,
N. Y., and about 22,000 elsewhere in the United States, making a total for this company of about 45,000.
FOURTH OF JULY ACCSDEfiTS.
The Journal of (he Amertccn Medical Association has kept a record of the accidents tn the United
States, due annually to the celebration of Independence Day.
The decrease from 466 deaths in 1903 to 30 in 1916 was due to more intelligent methods of celebra-
tion, the most marked decrease taking place In States where the agitation for restrictive measures was
otrongest.

work of creating and circulating sound tempera,nce literature to promote the cause of total abstinence
from all Intoxicants, and to unify and concentrate the temperance and Christian sentiment rf the
Katlon against the drink habit and the drink traffic. The headquarters of the society Is at 373 Fourtb

MINERAL WATER TRADE IN UNITED STATES.
(From a report of United States Geological Survey.)
Though the total value of production In 1915 exceeded that In 1914 the maximum production anfl
value of 1911 were not equalled. There seems to be a general tendency toward increased sales of table waters,
decreased sales of medicinal waters, decreased number of active springs, and greatly increased sales of a few-
waters. The statistics of production in the United States during the last five years, shown in the following
table. Indicate a gradual decline in quantity sold since 1911.

In 1915, as in 1913 and 1914, nearly half the trade in mineral waters was In the hands of a few very
large producers. Five springs, as in 1913 and 1914, sold more than 1,000,000 gallons each, and 16 springs,
as compared with 18 in 1914 and 20 in 1913, sold more than 500.000 gallons each. The total output of these
16 springs was 18,483,823 gallons, valued at 32,016,445. The total output of the 20 largest producers in 1915
was 20,312,142 gallons, valued at 82,087,895, as compared with an output by the 20 largest producers In
1914 of 21,356,203 gallons, valued at 81,636,316. Fifty springs in 1915 did more than 520,000 worth of
business each, selling a total of 23,717,725 gallons for $3,421,153. Fifty-one springs in 1914 did more than
$20,000 worth of business each, celling a total of 26,731,787 gallons for 53,050,563. Corresponding figures
for 1913 are 54 springs, 28,769,596 gallons, and 53,642,964. The decrease in quantity of mineral waters
sold in 1915 by the large producers is equivalent to 11 per cent, and the increase in value is equivalent to
12 per cent These differences indicate a tendency toward increase in price during 1915. In addition to
those large producers, however, there were 762 others whose sales ranged from S5 to 320,000 and whose
fields of activity are general.

AMERICAN A^JO IMPEtlilAL FLUED OUNCES.
1 American gallon:
= 0.83311 Imperial gallons, or 6
pints, 13 fluid ounces, 2 fluid
drams, 22.85 minims.
1 American fluid ounce = 1.04139 Imperial fluid
ounces.
153 3-5 American fluid ounces =160 Imperial fluid
ounces.
The American fluid ounce is greater than the Im-
perial fluid ounce. One of the former (American
fluid ounce) is equal to 1.04139 of the latter (Imperial
fluid ounces), so that 160 Imperial fluid ounces
(one Imperial gallon) is only equal to 153 3-5 Ameri-
can fluid ounces, or 1 1-5 American gallons of 128
American fluid ounces each.

Crimes and
CRIMES AND
COMPILED FROM THE CODES OR REVISED STATUTES OF THE
Within the limits of the subjoined table showing the penalties prescribed by the respective Statea
lor the oflences enumerated It Is impossible to attain complete accuracy In comparing the several penalties,
lor the reason that the provisions ol the several States defining these very familiar crimes are uot identical.
Especially is this true in regard to crimes classified in degrees, some States making but little attempt in
that direction, leaving it to the discretion ol the trial court to adapt the severity of the punishment to the
gravity of the offence, while other States provide a minute classltlcation into degrees, depending on the
several possible circumstances attending the commission of the crime. M'here no penalty is shown under
a given degree ol crime the State recognijies but one desia'nation, namely, that of the crime
committed
Murder in the First Degree — in the table below — may be generally defined to be the unlawful
intentional and premeditated Idlllng of a human being, or such a killing resulting from the commission or
attempt to commit one of the graver crimes such as arson, burglary, rape, or robbery.
Murder In the Second Degree Is such a killing without premeditation, or resulting from the attempt
to commit some lesser crime.
Manslaughter may be dcflued as a killing either unintentionally res"ltlng from the careless or unlawful
aolng ol some otherwise lawful act or from the commission of some unlawful act ol comparatively trivial
character, or intentionally. In the heat of passion and without premeditation.
Arson — where classified in degrees — though the number and exact definition of degrees varies greatly
— 13 in general ciassliied with reference to two conditions. First, the character of the building biirned,
whether a dwelling house or structure likely to or containing a human being; and, second, whether the
crime is perpetrated by day or night. Thus the most serious ofi'ence Is the burning of an Inhabited dwell-
ing by night, and the least serious, the burning of an uninhabited structure by day. Often Intermediate
degrees are recognized, such as burning a dwelling by day or an uninhabited building by night.

Their Penalties.

THEIR PENALTIES.
SEVERAL STATES AS AMENDED BY SUBSEQUENT LEGISLATION.
Burglary — The classification of burglary or house breaking deoends on substantially the same
elements as that of arson namely the building entered, whether a dwelling or other building, and whether
the offence was committed by day or night.
Robbery may be generally defined as the theft of property from the person or immediate presence of
the victim, accomplished by force or fear. Where degrees of robbery are recognUed, the distinction Is
generally determined by whether the thief be armed or unarmed, though some States also distinguish the
second from the first degree, where the theit is accomplished by means of threats of future rather than
Immediate Injury.
Grand Larceny Is simple theft, of property above a fixed value, generally S25 to S50 — most States
also classify as grand larceny, theft -of property from the person of the victim Irrespective of value, though,
of course accomplished without the force or fear which constitute the crime of robbery
Assault with Intent to kill, bigamy, forgery, perjury and rape are not subdivided Into degrees in the
subjoined table
Where crimes ate divided into several degrees It is generally within the province of the Jury. In convict-
ing to fix the degree of the crime, and In almost every case In which a crime Is punishable by death or
Imprisonment It is the province of the jury to determine the punishment, except upon a plea of guilty,
when the duty devolves upon the court.
Where the classification of a crime In a particular State does not approximately agree with the
definitions given above, note is made of the fact.
Note — In the table below, after the figures given, "years" is understood, unless otherwise stated.
Where two figures are given, separated by a dash, as 1 — 7. the provision should be understood as "not less
than one year nor more than .seven;" where a sum of money is given In the table the provision should be
understood as meaning a fine of not exceeding the sum mentioned.

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL
DISPUTES.
The American Society for Judicial Settlement oJ International Disputes was formed In 1910 for
the purpose of promoting the establishment of a Judicial tribunal which would perform for the
nations of the civilized world a similar service to that which Is given by ordinary courts to Individuals,
and of encouraging recourse to such a tribunal after Us establishment.
During this period annual conferences have been held, the printed proceedings of which have
t)een a valuable acquisition to libraries and to all interested In the development of judicial settle-
ment and of International law; men of distinguished ability and unquestioned Influence contributed
the papers, some of which have been voluntarllv translated Into French, German, Italian, and
Spanish.
Quarterly pamphlets, each containing an .tpproprlate monograph by some acknowledged
authority on subjects tending to advance the purpose of the society, have been Issued, not only to
members, but to a carefully selected list of 30,000 names. Including the leading law schools and
universities throughout the world.
A copy of all publications Is sent to the foreign ofQce of every nation and to the heads of foreign
legations In Washington.
There Is a widespread and growing Interest In the work of the society; hardly a day passes
without requests, not only from America but from many parts of the world for copies of the pam-
phlets, which are always sent free of charge. The officers and Executive Committee are much
gratified at the interest awakened by their efforts, but are obliged to Issue an earnest appeal for con-
tributing members In order to continue the work on the present scale.
The object of the founders of the society was to give It a large following, and so there were
three classes of membership established (life, sustaining, and annual), with equal privileges, leaving
each member to determine what he would give, and In order that it might be beyond the reach of
none, the subscription for annual membership was fixed at one dollar. At the same time. In order
to obtain a more adequate Income, a sustaining membership at ten dollars a year was established.
President — Theodore Marburg, Baltimore Md. Vice-President — Elihu Root, New York. Secretary —
James B. Scott, Wa.'ihington, D. C. Assistant Secretary — Tunstall Smith, The Preston, Baltimore, Md.
Treasurer — J. G. Schmidlapp, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Life membership, $100; sustaining membership, SIO a year; annual membership, SI a year.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE LAWS — Continued.
(a) Marriage confers right to contract for necessaries. Female retains exclusive control of her separate
property, (b) In Delaware there is no provision In the law fixing a minimum age below which marriage
cannot be contracted even by parental consent, so that so far as the statutory law is concerned male minora
under twenty-one and female minors under eighteen may be married with parental consent, no matter how
young they be. (c) Except for necessaries and contracts made by Infant under authority of statute, aa
contracts under license to trade, bond of infant executor, contracts of apprenticeship In accordance with
statute relating thereto, (d) Infants' contracts for necessaries are binding, (e) Either party may disavow
a marriage contracted under sixteen years of age, on arriving at that age. (!) Under section 16 of the New
York Domestic Relations Law, when the man is under twenty-one or the woman under eighteen the record-
ing officer must require the v/ritten consent from both parents. Section 7 of the same law provides that a
marriage is voidable if either party Is under the age of lepal consent, which is eighteen years. Section 1742
of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that a woman may bring an action to annul a marriage where,
at the time she was married under the age of sixteen and has not cohabited with the spouse since she attained
the age of sixteen years. Section 1743 of the code provides that a marriage may be annulled either as to
the male or the female where at the time of the marriage they had not reached tlie age of legal consent, (g) In
Pennsylvania persons of either sex who have not attained legal age, or twenty-one years, may obtain a
marriage license upon the written consent of parents or legal guardians of such minor. The marital con-
tract is a civil contract. It can be made at any age, but if a promise of marriage is made by a minor, whether
male or female, under twenty-one years of age, it may be repudiated when the minor attains majority. Con-
tracts made by minors cannot be enforced at law imless the minor when he attains his or her majority
assumes the prior obligation, (h) A minor may contract for necessities. (J) No limit, (k) If husband
an adult, in certain cases, generally 21 years, however, (m) Full contractual rights.
DIVORCE STATISTICS.
The Bureau of the Census Issued In 1909 a report of the results of a compilation of statistics of divorces
of married people granted by the courts In the United States for a period of forty years: being from 1867

THE PROCREATION COMMISSION.
This commission, created by an act of the Legislature of New York State, is to examine Into the mental
and physical condition and the record and family history of the feeble-minded, epileptic, criminal and other
defective inmates confined in the State hospitals, reformatories, charitable and penal institutions; and If
In the judgment of the majority of the board procreation by any such person would produce children with
an inherited tendency to crime, in.sanity, feeble-mindedness, idiocy, or imbecility, and there Is no prob.ablllty
of an improvement in their condition, then the board shall appoint one of their number to perform such
operation for the prevention of procreation that shall be decided to be most eCective AU orders made under
t-hia law are subject to re\1ew by the Supreme Court. .», ,, ^i. .

Administration of Deceased Persons'' Estates.
ADMINISTRATION OF DECEASED PERSONS' ESTATES.
INHERITANCE TAX LAWS.
The following Is a synopsis of several of the laws of the various States affecting the administra-
tion of the estate of a deceased person:
1. Who to Administer. — (a) If the deceased leaves a will, the duty of administration falls upon
the executor. If no executor Is named, or In the event of the death or refusal of the executor to
act, the Court will grant administration under the will to some suitable person, generally selected
from those most largely Interested under the provisions of the will, such as the residuary legatees.
If any. (b) If the deceased died Intestate, letters of administration are granted to the following
persons In practically all the States:
First — To the surviving husband or widow.
Second — To one or more of the next of kin entitled to share In the estate.
Third — If none of the above consent to act, to one of the creditors of the estate, except
In localities where there Is provided by law a Public Administrator, who Is preferred to creditors.
In practically all the States an administrator Is required to give bond for the faithful perform-
ance of his duties In double the value of the estate to be administered.
In most of the States. If so provided by the will, no bond Is required of an executor, except that
In some States an executor Is required to give a bond to cover the probable amount of the debts
of the estate, and In practically all the States, In the discretion of the Court, for cause shown, an
executor may be required to give a bond.
2. Claims of Creditors. — i"he procedure In the several States In presenting creditors' claims
against the estate varies very considerably. In the majority of the States the executor or admin-
istrator Is required promptly to give public notice to creditors to present their claims to him. and
the creditors are required so to present their claims supported by an affidavit that the same are
Justly due and owing from the estate, above any offsets or counter claims, within a period limited
generally to six mouths or a year. The law of ea<!h State should be consulted for more specific
details. Most of the States direct a final closing of the estate by the executor or administrator
within a year or eighteen months after his appointment, though the time limit may be extended
by the Probate Court It conditions require It.
3. The following table contains an analysis of the laws of the several States, covering:
(1) The Inheritance or succession tax upon property received either by Intestate laws,
last will, or by gift or transfer, designed to take effect at death, excepting legacies
for religious, charitable or educational purposes, which are tax exempt In most of the
States. In the great majority of the States no distinction as to tax Is made between
real estate and personal property.
(2) The various classes of estate obligations given priority over other claims In case of
the Insolvency of the estate.
By act of Congress, effective September 8, 1916, an inheritance tax payable to the United States is
imposed in addition to the State taxes listed below. The Federal act (General Revenue Law In thLi
Almanac), provides for an exemption of SSO.OOO; and a graduated tax above that amount as follows:

Distribution of Intestate s Personal Estate. 317
DISTRIBUTION OF INTESTATE'S PERSONAL ESTATE. ^
The following is a synopsis of the laws of the various States providing for the
distribution of the personal estate of a deceased after the payment of funeral expenses
and other debts where there is no will:
In many of the States the widow and children are entitled to receive a small
portion of the estate, generally varying from $100 to $500, before the claims of creditors
are paid. Aside from such exempt portion of the estate, the property to be distributed
to the widow or relatives is that remaining after all creditors' claims have been satisfied.
The following is the plan of distribution of a male's property. The same rules apply
to a female's estate, except in some States, where the rights of a husband in the estate
of his deceased wife differ from those of a wife in the estate of her deceased husband,
which will be shown in a separate table.
I. In all States wheie the deceased leaves a child or children, or descendants of any
deceased child, and no widow, the children or descendants take the entire estate, to the
exclusion of all other relatives. The children take equal shares, and in most States the
descendants of a deceased child together take the share of their parent, except where
the descendants are all in equal degree to the deceased (all grandchildren, no children
surviving), when they share equally and do not take their proportionate share of their
parent's interest.
No statement is given in this synopsis of the law of Louisiana, which, being founded
on the provisions of the French code and Roman law instead of the English common
law, which is the underlying principle in the other States, differs in many respects from
the principles followed in the other States, especially on the question of the rights of a
husband and wife In each other's property and in the property acquired by the husband
and wife during their married life. The provisions of the law of Indiana are also not
Included, for the reason that for an accurate statement of its provisions a reading ol
the entire statute is necessary, together with the decisions of the Indiana courts con-
struing its provisions, which would occupy too much space for a statement here.

PROIV1ISSORY NOTES AND CHECKS.
Negotiable instrmneiits, the common forms of which are promissory notes, checks, or other
bills of exchange, while liaving the same general requisites as other contracts, have certain distinct
features. The purpose of the law is to facilitate as much as possible their free passing from hand to
hand like currency. Tlie assignment of an ordinary contract leaves the assignee in no ditrerent po-
Bition for enforcing his rights than that of his assignor but one who takes a negotiable instrument
froma prior holder, without knowledge of any defences to it, before its maturity, and gives value for
It, holds it free of any defences which might have been set up agaiust his predecessors, except those
defects that were inherent in tlie instrument itself.
To be neg-otiable an instrument must be in writing and signed by the maker (of a note) or
drawer (of a bill or check).
Tt mii.st contain an unconditional promise or order to pay a sum certain in money.
Must be payable on demand, or at a fixed future time.
Must be payable to order or to bearer.
Inabill of exciiaii'.re (clieck) the party directed to pay must be reasonably certain.
Every negotiable instrument is presumed to have been issued for a valuable consideration, and
want of consideration in the creation of the instrumen t is not a defence against a bona- fide holder.
An iustriiinent is negotiateil, that is completely transferred, so as to vest title in the pur-
'chaser if payable to hearer, or indoised simply with the name ot the last holder, by mere delivery, if
payable to order by the indorsement of t he party to whom it is pay.ibie and delivery.
One who transfers an instrument by indorsement warrants to every snbSHqiient holder that the
Instrumentls genuine, that he has title to it, and that if not paid by the party primarily liable at ma-
turity, he will pay it upon receiving due notice of non-payment.
ToboMau indorser liable the holder upon its non-payment at maturity must give prompt
notice of such non-pavinenl to the indorser and that the holder looks to tlie iudorser for payment.
Such u itice should be'sent within twenty-four hours.
Wben an indorser is tbns compelled to pay he may hold prior parties through whom he
received the instrument liable to him by sending them prompt notice of non-payment upon receiv-
ing such notice from the holder. , . ., i J . ... • ,
One who transfers a negotiable instrument by delivery, wilhoul indorsing it, simply warrants
that the instrument is genuine, that he has title to it, and knows of no defence to it, but does not
agree to pay it if unpaid at maturity.
Tlie maker of a note is liable to pay it if unpaid at maturity without any notice from the
holder or indorser. „. . . . ,,
Notice to one of several partners is suthcient notice to all.
Wben a cbeck is certifie<l bv a bank the bank becomes primarily liable to pay it without no-
tice of its non-payment, and when the holder of a check thus obtains its certification by the bank, the
drawer of the check and previous indorsers are released from liability, and the holder looks to the
bauk for payment.
A bona-fide bolder of a negotiable instrument, that is, a party who takes an Instrument regu-
laron its face bei'orei.s maturity, pa vs value foritand has no knowledge of any defences to It, is

LAW OF CONTRACTS.
A contract is an ag-reenient of two or more parties, by which reciprocal rights and
pbligations are created. Oue party acquires a risrht, eiilorceable at law, to some act or forbearance
from the other, who is under a corresponding obligation to thus act or forbear.
Generally speaking, all contracts which are made between two competent parties, for a proper
consideration, without fraud and fora lawful purpose, are enforceable at law
To the creation of a valid contract ttiere must be:
1. Precise agreement. The offer of one party must be met by an acceptance by the other, accord-
ing to ttie terms offered.
2.'"Tliere must be a consideration. Something of value must either be received by one party or
eriven up by the other.
3. The parties must have capacity to contract. The contracts of insane persons are not binding
upon them. Married women are now generally permitted to contract as though single, and bind their
separate property. The contracts of an infant are generally not binding upon him, unless ratified
atterattaniiiig his majority. Tlie contracts of an infant for "necessaries" may be enforced against
him to the extent of tlie reasonable value of the goods furnished. It is incumbent upon one seeking
thus to hold an iiitant to show tliat the goods furnished were in fact necessary to the infant, and that
he was not already supplied by his parents or guardians.
4. The party's consent must not be the result of fraud or imposition, or it may be avoided by the
party imposed upon.
5. The purpose of the parties must be lawful. Agreements to defraud others, to violate statutes,
or whose aim is against public policy, such as to create monopolies, or for the corrupt procurement
of legislative or official aciion.are void, and cainiot beenforced by any party thereto.
Contracts in general are eqiiall.v valid; wbetber made orally or in writing) with
the exception of certain classes of contracts, whicli in most of the Slates are required to be attested
by a note or memorandum in writing, signed by the party or liis agent sought to be held liable.
Some of the provisions, which are adopted from the old Eiieli^ili Statute of Frauds, vary in some
States, but the following contracts very generally are required to he thus attested by some writing:
Contracts by their terms not to be performed within a j'ear from the making thereof.
A promise to answer for the delit, default, or miscarriage of another person.
Contracts made in consideration of marriage, except mutual promises to marry.
Promise of an executor, or administrator, to pay debts of deceased out of his own property.
Contracts for the creation of any interest or estate in laud, with the exception of leases for a
short term, generally one year.
Contracts for the sale of goods above a certain value, unless a portion of the price is paid or part
of the goods delivered. The required value of the goods sold varies in different States from $30 to
$200. In a number of the States no such provision exists.
In many of the States declarations or conveyances of trust estates.
In many States representations as to the character, credit, or responsibilitj[ of another person.
Partial performance of tbe contract is generally held to dispense with the necessity for a
writing.
If the damasres liable to result from the breaking of a contract are uncertain the
partiesmay agree upouasum to which either may be entitled as compensation for a breach, which
will be uphelcf by the courts, but if the sum so fixed is not designed as a fair compensation to the
party injured, but as a penalty to be inflicted, it will be disregarded.
A party is generally excused for the failure to perform what he has agreed only by the
actof God or the public enemy. Except in cases involving a personal element in the work to be per-
formed, such as the rendition of services, when the death or sickness of the party contracting to per-
form them is a valid excuse, or contracts for the performance of work upon a specified object, when
its destruction without the fault of the party sought to be held liable is'a sufficient excuse.
ARREST IN CIVIL ACTION.
Whii.e Imprisonment for debt as It formerly existed In English and American law, by which a
debtor might be arrested and Imprisoned for mere inability to pay his creditor, no longer exists In
the United States, the statutes of the majority of the States provide for the arrest of a defendant
in a civil action under varying conditions. A large number of States determine the right of arrest
by the character of the claim on which suit is brought, allowing in it actions for fraud or the injuries
known In the law as "torts," such as an injury to the person or property, conversion or embezzle-
ment, libel, slander, or the like.
In the following States no civil arrest is allowed— Arizona, District of Columbia, Florida,
Maryland, Minn'sota, Mississippi. Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Tennessee, and Texas.
In the following States the right to arrest depends upon the nature of claim in suit: In actions
for fraud or torts, Connecticut: for fraud, libel, slander, or violent Injury to person or property,
Delaware, for fraud only, Iowa and Kansas; only after verdict of jury, finding malice, fraud, or wilful
deceit, Colorado; for torts, breach of promise to marry, misconduct or embezzlement in office or
professional capacity. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York (also for fine or penalty or to recover
property concealed from Sheriff).
In the following States arrest is only allowed against a defendant about to remove from State
or about to conceal, transfer, or remove his property to avoid plaintiff's claim or defraud creditors.
Irrespective of the nature of the claim: Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Utah,
Vlrgiaia. In New Hampshire tax collector may also arrest person for non-payment of poll tax, if not suffi-
cient property upon which to make distress.
In the following States arrest is allowed In contract actions where the defendant Is about to
depart from the State, or conceal or remove his property, and also In actions for fraud or torts of
various kinds, though the provisions are not identical: Arkansas (fraud only), California, Idaho,
Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia (fraud only), Wisconsin.
In Georgia arrest only allowed against attorneys. Sheriffs or other officers of the court for failure
to pay over money collected and In certain circumstances against defendant who conceals property
from Sheriff. The drawer of a check which on presentation to the bank payment is refused, is guilty
of a misdemeanor. Criminal prosecution cannot be instituted, however, until after an expiration
of thirty days, and not then if the drawer makes good the invalid check.
In Wyoming (only after judgment) In actions for fraud, or money lost at gambling, or where
flefendant has removed or concealed property to avoid judgment.
In Rhode Island, allowed In all actions except to recover debt or taxes.
In Ohio, when an affidavit is filed showing: About to remove prooerty to defraud creditors,
convert property into money for same purpose, conceal property or rights In action fraudulently,

or Incurred the obligation. Money or property sought to be recovered was In gambling on a bet or
wager.

PAUPERISM.
According to Census Bulletin 120, issued In 1914. the number of paupers in almshouses in the United
States on January 1, 1910, was 84,198. Of these, 57.049 were males and 27,149 females; 44.149 were native
born, 33.125 foreign born. 355 nativity unknown. 6.464 colored. The total number of admissions to
almshouses in 1910 was 88,313. The deaths of pauper inmates of almshouses in 1910 were 17,486, the largest
causes of these deaths being tuberculosis of the lungs. 3,135; senility, 1,818; heart disease, 1,439; pneumonia.
1,071; Bright's disease, 1,071. The number of paupers in almshouses who were discharged in 1910 to be
self-supporting was 44,491; to relatives and friends, 14,160; to be boarded out, 459, and indentured, 10.
More than half of the persons admitted during the year were over 50 years of age. The number 80 years
old and over was 3,365.

Mortality Statistics for 1915.
MORTALITY STATIST5CS FOR 1915.
(From a bulletin issued by the Census Bureau, September 19, 1916.)
The annual report on mortality in the United
States, relating to the ealendp.r year 1915, shows a
death rate ol 13.5 per 1,000 estimated population in
the registration area of the United States.
TOTAL DEATHS IN REGISTRATION AREA.
The total number of deaths (exclasive of stillbirths)
in the regisLr;ition area, which now contains about
two thirds of the population cf the United States,
was 909,155. Tliere has been a niarl;ed, though not
continuous, decline in the death rate since 18S0, v/hen
it was 19.8 per 1,000, based on the deaths among 17
per cent, of the country's population.
The registration area of the United States, as con-
stituted for the year ^915, consists of 25 States
(in one of which, North Carolina, the registration
is restricted to municipalities which had 1,000
population or over in 1910). the District of Columbia,
and 41 cities in non-registration States. The States
and cities making up this area are those whose regis-
tration of deaths has been accepted by the Bureau of
the Census as being fairly complete (at least 90 per
ccnt. or the total numlier of dp.Hths), and from which
transcripts of the death certificates recorded under
the State laws or municipal ordinances were received
by the Bureau of the Census.
The estimated population of the registration area
in 1915 was 67,336,992. It has grown from six-
teenths of 1 per cent, of the total land area of the
United States in 1380 to 41.3 per cent, in 1915, and
the proportion of the population living in it has in-
creased from 17 per cent, in 1880 to 67.1 per cent, in
1915.
COMPARISON WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
Comparative figures for foreign countries are not
available for 1915, but in 1914 the only important
countries or provinces having lower death rates than
the United States were Denmarlt (12.6). the Province
of Ontario (11.8), Holland (12.4), Australia (10.5),
and New Zealand (9.3).
DEATH RATES OF STATES.
Following are tlie death rates per 1,000 population
In 1915 for the States included within the reglstratioa
area: California, 13.7; Colorado, 11.3; Connecticut.
14.9; Indiana 12.7; Kansas 10. 1 (these rates are based
on estimates of population computed on the assump-
tion that the annual numerical increase since 1910 has
been the same as the average annual numerical
Increase between 1900 and 1910. This method
probably results. In the cases of the States and
cities for the years indicated, in an exaggeration of
the estimated population and a consequent reduc-
tion of the apparent death rate below the true

The lowest rate shown by any of these cities was
that for Seattle, Wash. (7.4), while the highest
(21.2) was for New Orleans, La.
DEATH RATES IN CITIES HAVING LARGE
COLORED POPULATIONS.
An interesting feature of the report ia the presenta-
tion of a table .showing comparative death rates for
white and colored persons (including Indians,
Chinese, and Japanese) in 79 cities in which the
colored population constituted 10 per cent, or more
of the total in 1910. In these 79 cities (including two
in Kentucky and two in Maryland ln*vhich the
colored population constituted less than fo per cent,
of the total), taken together, the death rate among
the white in 1915 was 15.0 per 1,000, while among
the colored population it was 27.5. The highest
rate for the colored was 56.5. in Columbia, S. C,
and the lowest was 6.1, in Riverside, Cal.
By the aid of this table it is possible to make a
much fairer comparison between the healthfulnesa
of different cities, on the basis of the death rates
among the whites alone, than could be made on the
basis of general death r.ites. For example, Birming-
ham, Ala., in which the combined death rate for
white and colored persons was 15.6 per 1,000 — con-
siderably above the average for large cities — shows
a rate of only 11.3 for whites alone — a little less than
that for Oakland, Cal., and considerably less thau
the rates for many other cities. »
AVERAGE AGE AT DEATH.
The average age at death in 1913 for both sexes,
from all causes combined, was 39.8; for males alone,
39.2; for females alone, 40.6. The corresponding
averages for 1912 were 40.6, 39.9, and 41.4. The
report cautions the reader not to confuse the average
age at death with expectation of life as given in
life tables.
Nearly 18 per cent, of all deaths were of infants
under 1 year of age, and more than 25 per cent, were
of children under 5 years. After the first five years
of age deaths were most frequent among persons be-
tween 70 and 74, inclusive. This applied to both
sexes combined and to women alone, the deaths
among these groups forming 6. ,56 per cent, and 6.88
per cent, respectively of the corresponding totals.
For men alone, however, the period of greatest mor-
tality was between tlio anes of 65 and 69. inclusive,
the deattis during this period constituting 6.4 per
cent, of the total for males.
FEWER DEATHS FROM TUBERCULOSIS.
The death rate from tuberculosis (all forms) de-
clined from 146.8 per 100,000 population in 1914 to
145.8 in 1915. The rate from this cause shows a
continuous, though irregular, decline from year to
year since 1904.
The death rates from cerebral hemorrhage and
apoplexy, and organic heart diseases and endocarditis
increased as compared with 1914. the former from
77.7 to 79.3 per 100,000 population, and the latter
from 150.8 to 156.2. These rates are higher than
in any of the years between 1900 and 1915.
The rates for typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diph-
theria and croup, and diarrhoea and enteritis (infants
under 2 years) show decreases as compared with
1914. and there has been a general and pronounced
decline in the rates from these causes since 1900.

PRINCIPAL CAUSES OF DEATHS.
(From a bulletin issued by Census Bureau, November
11. 1916.)
The deaths from heart diseases (organic diseases
of the heart and endocarditis) In the registration
area in 1915 numbered 105,200, or 156.2 per 100,000
copulation. The death rate from this cause shows a
Sed increase as compared with 1900, when it
was only 123.1 per 100,000. ^ ^c, ^aA
Tuberculosis in its various forms claimed 98 194
victims in 1915, of whom 85,993 died from tuberculosis
of the lungs. The progress made in the prevention
of this dreaded malady during recent years has
been most gratifying. In only a »«le more than a
decade, from 1904 to 1915 he death rate from
tuberculosis in aU its forms fell from 200.7 to 145^
ner 100 000 the decline being continuous from year
to year' This is a drop of more than 25 per cent.
Pneumonia (including bronchopneumonia) was
responsible lor 89,326 deaths in the .■registration area
in 1915, or 132.7 per 100,000. This rate, a though
lower than lor most of the years from 1900 to 1911
Inclusive is higher than lor 1912, 1913, and 1914
The rate for 1914 127 per 100,009, was the lowest
In record The death rate from this disease, like
that from' tuberculosis, has shown a marked declme
since 1900, when it was 180.5 per 100.000
The only remaining death rate higher than 100
per 100,000 in 1915 was that tor Bnghfs disease
and acute nephritis, 104.7. .TJ^e total number
deaths due to these maladies in 191o was 70,500, of
^^ number. 64 480 were caased by Bright s disease
and 6,020 by acute nephritis. Tne mortality rate
from these two causes Increased from 89 per 100,000
In 1900 to 103.4 in 1905, fluctuated more or less
between 1905 and 1912. and has shown Uttle change
since the last-mentioned year. „„„^„ ^nri
Ne-ct in order of deadliness come cancer and
other malignant tumors, which caused 54,584
deatLs S 1915. Of these, 21,221, or nearly 39 per
cent., resulted from cancers of the stomach and liver
The death rate from cancer has risen from 63 per
100,000 in 1900 to 81.1 in 1915. The increase has
been almost continuous, there having been but two
years, 1906 and 1911, which showed a declme as
Compared with the years Immediately Preceding^
Apoplexy was the cause of 53,397 deaths, or 79.3
per 100 000. The rate from this disease has increased
gradual'ly, with occasional slight declines, since 1900,
' Dmrrh^and enteritis caused 48,325 deaths in
1915 or 71 7 per 100,000. This rate has shown a
marked falling off in recent years, having been 90^2
m 1913 and 79.4 in 1914: and has dechned very
greatly as compared with the corresponding rate lor
fg^O which was 133.2. Nearly flve-sixths of the
total number of deaths charged to these causes In
1915 were of infants under 2 years of age.
Arterial diseases of various kinds— atlieroma,
aneurism, etc.-caused 15,685 deaths in 1915 or
23.3 per 100.000. This rate, although somewhat
lower than the corresponding ones for 1912 and
1913 is higher than that tor 1914, and is very much
higher than that for 1900, which was 6.1
Diabetes was the cause of 11,775 deaths, or 17.5
per 100,000. The rate from this disease has risen
almost continuously from year to year smce 1900,
when it was 9.7 per 100,000.
influenza caused no fewer than 10,768 deaths in
the registration area in 1915. the rate beiiy 16 per
100 000 The rate from this malady, which fluctuates
verir co'nslderably from year to year, was higher in
1915 than during several years preceding.
The mortality rate from typhoid fever has shown
a most gratifying and remarkable decline since 1900.
Im topped irom 35.9 per 100.000 la that year
to 12.4 in 1915. the decrease amounting to nearly
two-thirds. This decline is greater, relatively, than
that shown for any other important cause of death.
The total number of deaths due to typhoid tever in
1915 was 8,332
WHOOPING Cough, Measles, and Scarlet Fever.
The principal epidemic maladies of childhood —
whooping cough, measles, and scarlet lever — were
together responsible for 11,489 deaths of both adults
and children, or 17.1 per 100,000, in the registration
area in 1915, the rates for the three diseases separately
being 8.1. 5.4, and 3.6. respectively. In 1913 measles
caused a greater mortality than either of the other
diseases, but in 1914 and 1915 whooping cough had
first place.
Effects of the •■Safety-First" Campaign.
That the "safety-first" campaign. Inaugurated a
few years ago, has borne good fruit is brought out
by the figures for accidental deaths. For 1913.
54,011 deaths were reported as due to accident; for
1914 the corresponding number was reduced to
51,770. and tor 1915 to 51.406; and during this
period there was not only an increase in the popula-
tion of the registration area as it existed In 1913
but an increase in the extent of the area itself The
rate per 100.000 population tor accidental deaths
tell from 85.3 in 1913 to 78.5 in 1914 and to 76.3
in 1915
Deaths due to railway accidents and injuries
totalled 6 652 in the registration area in 1915, or 9.a
per 100,000 This number includes fatalities resulting
from collisions between railway trains and veWcles
at Vrade crossings. This death rate is the lowest on
record and Shows a marked decline durmg the
past 10 years. .
Deaths resulting from street-car accidents and
iniuries numbered l,5o5, or 2.3 per 100,000. rhia

from this cause is 2.5, for 1907.
SUICIDES.
The number of suicides reported for 1915 was
11216 0^16.7 per 100,000 population. The suicide
fate hM not varied very greatly during the past
10 years. „
Deaths Caused by Firearms.
The census figures bring out the astonishing fact
that during the year 1915 firearms caused more
deaths than railroad accidents, more than five
Hm^ as many as street-car accidents, nearly as
S ^ rSlroad and street-car accidents combined.
Sid more than twice as many as automobile accidents.

Infantile Paralysis {Poliomyelitis) .
INFANTILE PARALYSIS (POLIOMYELITIS).
Infantile paralysis (poliomyelitis) is a disease
characterized by inXlammation of the r\erve cells of
the spinal cord, or brain, resulting in their total or
partial destruction, with consequent wasting,
paralysis and deformity of the parts which they
supply.
History — Poliomyelitis is not a new disease. It
was first described in 1840 by von Heine, but un-
questionably e.^ted for centuries previous to that
time. Its occurrence in epidemic form was first
recognized by Bergenholz in 1861, his observations
being published in 1890. The largest epidemics
have occurred in Vermont in 1894, Norway and
Sweden in 1905, New York City and vicinity 1907,
Iowa 1908-1910, IVIassachusetts 1907 and the throe
subsequent years, Minnesota 1908-1909-1910, Dis-
trict of Columbia 1910, Sweden 1911, Buffalo 1912,
New York and surrounding States 1916. Isolated
cases are, however, being constantly reported. The
following table shows the rapid increase In the
number of cases in this country In recent years:
1880-1884.
1885-1889.
1890-1894.
1895-1899.
1900-1904.
23 cases.
93 "
151 "
345 "
349 "
1905-1909 8,054 "
Since 1910 (estimated) 45,000 "
Distribution — The disease exists in all parts of
the world, and extensive outbreaks have occurred
in countries with every conceivable variation of
climate. Northern Europe and the northern portion
)f the Western Hemisphere have suffered to a
greater extent, however, than southern sections, and
in the United States generally the infection is more
prevalent than in other countries.
Seasonal Prevalence — Cases occur In every
month of the year, but the late Summer and early
Fall months generally show the greatest incidence.
With the approach of cold weather the disease usually
declines rapidly, although one of the most extensive
outbreaks occurred in Sweden in the depth of
Winter. In the Southern Hemisphere poliomyelitis
la most common from December to May, the Sum-
mer months.
AGE Incidence — The disease occasionally, though
rarely, affects adults. In the New York City 1916
epidemic approximately 88 per cent, of all cases
were in children under the age of 5, and 98.3 per
cent, were In those under 15.
Insects — Experimentally poliomyelitis has been
transmitted by the stable-fly (stomoxys calcltrans),
and the virus may be carried mechanically by the
common house-fly (musca domestical. Whether or
not these insects play a role in the transmission of
the disease has not as yet been definitely determined.
There is no reason for believing that the mosquito
Is concerned In the dissemination of the disease.
Recently the flea has been incriminated, the theory
of flea transmission being advanced by Richardson,
In September, 1916. The evidence to support this
theory is Inconclusive.
Other Conditions — Rich and poor are alike
affected, and the presence of insanitary conditions
seems to exert but little influence In the development
of the disease. The robust and the weak are attacked
with equal frequence, but the latter succumb more
readily. The disease is slightly more common
among males. It is the exception rather than the
rule for more than one case to develop in the same
family. Many of the most fatal epidemics have
occorred in rural districts, hence density of popula-
tion would seem not to be a factor. The rapid
spread ol the disease over a wide area would suggest
that the infection Is disseminated by human traffic-
As a rule only a small percentage of the total popu-
lation is affected, after which the disease rapidly
subsides. A history of direct exposure to other
paralytic cases is somewhat uncommon, and the
belief is gaining ground that the infection is chiefly
spread through contact either with healthy carriers,
convalescent cases, or those who have had a mild
form of the aflUction. Foodstuffs, water supplies,
domestic animals, and other external agencies have
never been proved to be factors In the dissemination
of infantile paralysis.
Virus — In 1913 Flexner and Noguchl described a
micro-organism wliich they believe to be the cause
of poliomyelitis. The virus is present in the brain,
spinal cord, and nasal, mouth and intestinal secre-
tions of those affhcted, but it has not been found
in the circulating blood. Secretions or extracts
derived from these sources when injected into
monkevs reproduce the disease. Young rabbits
may also at times be infected, but other animals
are not susceptible. It is believed that the virus
leaves the body In the secretions, gains access to
other persons, multiplies and penetrates to the
brain and spinal cord, where it produces its char-
acteristic lesions. The virus easily passes through
the pores of a porcelain filter, and is especially
resistant to temperature and other physical changes
and to the action of certain disinfectants, while It
is readily destroyed by others.
Incubation — The disease arises not Infrequently
about eight days after exposure, but this period is
subject to marked variations.
Symptoms — The onset is usually sudden but
malaise, weakness and such digestive disturbances
as nausea, constipation or diarrhoea may precede
the initial fever. In the early stages the disease
may present the picture of almost any acute con-
dition and the true nature of the infection may not
be recognized until after the development of paralysis.
The temperature is fairly high, headache is com-
plained of, prostration may be pronounced, rest-
lessness and irritability are present, and an apathetic
or drowsy state develops. Pain and tendernass,
especially in the neck and spine, are fairly constant
early symptoms, and delirium is not uncommon.
Paralysis usually develops within two or three days
from the date of onset, but it may be the first
sjTnptom noticed. Sometimes only weakness is
manifested. Almost any part of the body may be
involved, such as the leg, arm, face or trunk, or
even a snecial group of muscles. Occasionally the
centre controlling respiration is affected — a dan-
gerous condition. The permanency of the paralysis
is dependent upon the severity of the lesion in the
nervous centres; if the child recovers, improvement
in the paralysis is generally to be expected. Following
the paralysis the muscles waste, and, unless pre-
vented, contractures and deformities may ensue.
Skilful treatment is especially needed in this stage
of the disease.
Many types of the disease are recognized. In the
abortive form paralysis does not develop and the
patient recovers uninjured. These mild and often
unrecognized cases ai'e probably of great importance
in the transmission of the disease. Other cases are
characterized by meningeal symptoms, and still
others by different forms of paralyses.
Prognosis — -As a rule the younger the child the
better the prognosis. Fully 20 per cent, of all cases
make a complete recovery. Improvement is possible
even after paralysis has been present for years.
The mortality in the New York epidemic was espe-
cially high, approximately 25 per cent.
Care of Patient — If poliomyelitis is present In
a community, medical aid should be summoned
whenever a child is ill. Isolate the patient, place a
competent person in charge and reduce communica/-
tion OTth the sick room to a minimum. Hospital
care Is preferable, not only for the child but in order
to safeguard against the spread of the disease.
The sick room should be screened. Nasal and mouth
secretions should be received in cloths and burned.
The clothing of the child, the bed linen, and the ex-
cretions should be disinfected by boiling or by the
long-continued application ol a strong disinfectant.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS (POLIOMYELITIS).
Most authorities recommend the continuance of
quarantine from six to eight weelts, but tiie period
that the child remains infectious varies.
Absolute rest is essential in the acute stages.
The paiQ may be relieved by warm baths, but in tnis,
'as in all other measures, the parents should be
guided solely by the piiysician. There is no specllic
treatment. Serum derived from patients who ha\i;
recovered from the disease has been used, but Its
value is a matter of opinion. The same can bo sjtid
of adrenaline when injected intraspinally. Lumoar
puncture is usuallj' beneficial and is also of value in
establishing the diagnosis.
When the acute stage has passed and tenderness
and pain have entirely disappeared, the patient
should attempt to move about, care being taiien to
avoid fatigue. If necessary braces should be secui-ed
and properly fitted. Massage, if sldllully performed,
prevents the muscles from wasting, but It has no
efiect tipon the paralyzed nerve cells. Electricity
may be helpful, but it should only be used by the
skilled physician. Muscle training is a measure
which is of greatest service, as it directly aflects
the nervous centres.
The prevention of deformity requires the greatest
care< Permanent deformity of the limb may re-
sult If the child is neglected, and continued treat-
ment until recovery ensues is to be recommended.
Progress toward recovery is almost Invariably
slow but steady. For those cases which do not fully
recover many Ingenious operations have been de-
vised, suolj as malting the tendon of a non-paralyzed
piuscle do the worls of one which is paralyzed, the
transplanting o! nerves and other procedures.

ANTHRAX.
(From the Monthly Review of the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.)
At the annual meeting of the Delaware State Medi-
cal Society at Wilmington, October II and 12, 1915,
Dr. John Palmer, Jr., reported that within the last
eight years he had attended over 42 cases of anthrax
affecting the cutaneous and cellular tissues.
Many cases of anthrax have been found among
workers In Wdes in New York City and among the
workers In skins in Gloversville, N. Y. The sporadic
and exceptional occurrence of the infection, how-
ever, has obscured its Importance as an occupational
disease. The Bulletin of the New York State In-
dustrial Commission for March, 1916, records the
(act that since March, 1915, II cases of anthrax
have been reported in the second Inspection district
and 11 in the metropolitan district. Of the number
in the second district 7 were tannery employes, 3
were farmers, and I a schoolboy: of the II infected 4
died of anthrax. The metropolitan cases are to be
made the subject of a special report, and subsequently
a general report embracing all the cases In the State
will be submitted.
In Massachusetts, where occupational anthrax la
subject to compenstlon under the Workmen's Com-
pensation Law, 6 cases, 2 of which were fatal, were
reported during the year ended June 30, 1914. Of
these, 3 were In tannei-ies (1 fatal) and 3 In water
transportation (1 fatal).
In the biennial report of the Texas State Board
of Health from September 1, 1912. to August 31,
1914, there were reported "14 human cases" of an-
thrax infection, with 3 deaths. Among animals
11.746 cases were reported, with 9,328 deaths. The
epidemic appeared in 26 counties, while in 1913
there were only 17 infected counties. The conclusion'
announced by the board is that the extensive epi-
demics of anthrax in west Texas "are largely due to
the horsefly, which carries the Infection from the
sick to the well."
In Germany, in 1910, 287 cases of anthrax, with 36,
deaths, were discovered in the Empire.
In Great Britain, reports of Industrial anthra:
have been tabulated since 1900 as follows:

LEPER COLONIES.
No leper colonies are maintained by the United States Government. Institutions of this character
have, however, been established under the control o£ the respective State, Territorial or Insular authorities
in the loUowing places:
San Francisco, Cal., Leper Home, administered
by the Health Officer, San Fi-ancisco, Cal.
Louisiana State Leper Home, administered by the
Board of Control for Leper Home, New Orleans, La.
Massachusetts Leper Station, Penilcese Island,
Mass.,. administered by the State Commissioner of
Health, Boston, Mass.
County Hospital, leper ward, Los Angeles, Cal.
The United States Senate Public Health Committee recommended on March 25, 1916, the passage of
a bill for a National Home for lepers. Various estimates placed the number of lepers at large in the United
States as high as 500. The report of the committee, based on expert testimony, declared that leprosy la
present In every State and that its victims are rapidly increasing. A bill appropriating S>250,000 for a leper
colony passed, the House of Representatives on May 4, 1916, at the first session of the Sixty-fourth Con-
gress. The bill, however, although favorably reported by committee, did not reach a vote In the Senate.

THE UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE.
The United States Public Health Service is a
branch of the Treasury Department. The head of
the service Is a commissioned medical officer with
the title of Surgeon-General. The bureau of the
service In Washington is under the immediate di-
rection of the Surgeon-General and consists of seven
divisions, namely. Scientific Research, Foreign and
Insular Quarantine and Immigration, Domestic (In-
terstate) Quarantine, Sanitary Reports and Statis-
tics, Personnel and Accounts, Marine Hospitals
and Relief and Miscellaneous.
Tfie commissioned corps of the service consists
of medical officers of the following grades: Surgeon-
General, Assistant Surgeons-General, Senior Sur-
geons, Surgeons, Passed Assistant Surgeons, and
Assistant Surgeons. Appointments In the corps are
made to the grade of Assistant Surgeon after success-
ful examination. Qualifications for examinations
are graduation from a reputable medical college,
one year's hospital experience or two years' pro-
fessional work after graduation, and testimonials
from responsible persons as to professional and moral
character. Applicants must be between the ages
of 23 and 32 years. The service corps also com-
prises a large number of non-commissioned officers,
consisting of scientific experts. Acting Assistant
Surgeons, pharmacists, and other specially trained
employes.
The Division of Scientific Research supervises
field and laboratory investigations of public health
matters. These investigations relate to such dis-
eases as fllariasls, hookworm disease, leprosy, in-
fantile paralysis, malaria, pellagi'a, trachoma, tu-
berculosis, and typhoid fever, and sanitary prob-
lems of national importance, as industrial hygiene,
school hygiene, rural sanitation, public health ad-
ministration, coastal waters, and shellfish pollution,
and water supplies and sewage. For this purpose
field headquarters and laboratories are located at
convenient places throughout the country. Purely
technical studies are carried on at the Hygienic
Laboratory in Washington, where are also conducted
the tests of preparations necessary for the enforce-
ment of the law regulating the sale of biological
products in interstate traffic.
Under the direction of this division the Public
Health Service co-operates with State and local
Boards of Health in the eradication of epidemic
diseases, such as plague, cholera, yellow fever,
typhus fever, smallpox, and leprosy. Details of of-
ficers are also made, on request from State and mu-
nicipal health authorities, to assist in the suppression
of typhoid fever, infantile paralysis, cerebro-splnal
meningitis, and other diseases.
' The Foreign and Insular Quarantine and Immi-
gration division of the bureau has under its imme-
diate supervision the 55 quarantine stations In the
United States, 26 stations in its insular po.-iscssions,
and 89 stations for the medical inspection of immi-
grants. Eighteen officers are also stationed at
American consulates abroad to assist in the admin-
istration of the quarantine laws and the medical In-
ispectlon of immigrants. During the fiscal year 1916
there was an increase in the number of vessels in-
jspected at quarantine stations, a total of 12,120
isuch inspections having been made, as compared
I with 10,39'7 In 1915. These vessels carried 1,477,000
Passengers and crews, as compared with 612,026 in
915. Fumigations to the number of 1,680 were
made in 1915, as compared with 1,794 in 1916. The
total immigrants inspected during the year 1916
were 481,270, as compared with 562,263 in 1915,
and the number certified for rejection on account of
mental and physical defects was 15,327, whereas In
1916 17,840 such certifications were made.
The service, through the Division of Domestic
(Interstate) Quarantine, has supervision of meas-
ures lor the prevention of the spread of infectious
and contagious diseases in interstate traffic, and
the administration of matters in regard to the in-
terstate qimrantine regulations regarding preven-
tion of the use of common towels and common
drinking cups on vehicles or vessels operating in
interstate traffic, and the certification of water fur-
nished by common carriers for passengers in inter-
state traffic. In this division is also maintained a
stereopticon loan library for sanitarians, teachers,
and others who desire to give Instruction in sanita-
tion and hygiene. The popularization of public
health through the medium of Health News is also
carried on under this division.
Under the supervision of the Division of Sanitary
Reports and Statistics the service keeps currently
informed of the prevalence of communicable dis-
eases throughout the United States and of epidemic
diseases throughout the world. It also compiles the
laws and regulations relating to public health adopted
by States and cities. These laws and regulations,
together with information regarding prevalence of
diseases are published with other sanitary informa-
tion In the Public Health Reports, a bulletin of ap-
proximately 70 pages, issued weekly.
The Division of Personnel and Accounts of the
service has cliarge of the changes In the personnel of
the service and the movement of commissioned of-
ficers and other employes of the service in the field
work. Tlie personnel of the Public Health Service
now consists of 187 commissioned medical officers,
255 Acting Assistant Surgeons (physicians appointed
locally and not subject to change of station), 63 phy-
sicians employed locally for the medical relief of
superintendents, keepers, and surfmen at Life-Sav-
ing Stations, 50 pharmacists, 1,420 attendants, and
156 other employes, a total of 2,131 persons. The
fiscal matters of the service are also handled in this
division.
The Marine Hospital and Relief Division of the
service has charge of the 22 marine hospitals and
125 other relief stations of the service located
throughout the country. During the fiscal year 1916,
68,398 patients were treated— 17,46-1 in hospitals and
50,934 as dispensary or out-patients.
The Miscellaneous Division of the bureau has
charge of the distribution of service literature, edi-
tions of which aggregated during the fiscal year 1916
over two million copies. In this division are also
supervised various miscellaneous matters not com-
ing within the jurisdiction of any of the other di-
visions of the bureau.
Among the notable achievements of the service
in recent years in the field of public health work
have been the eradication of bubonic plague in .
California, Porto Rico, and New Orleans, and the
suppression of yellow fever in the South. During
the year 1916 measures were instituted for the pre-
vention of the interstate spread of poliomyelitis (In-
fantile paralysis) from New York and other Northern
points.

THE INSANE.
(From a bulletin Issued by the Census Bureau, January 25, 1915. The report Is based upon data relative
to the insane in hospitals and asylums in 1910.)
MORE MEN INSANE THAN WOMEN. .
On January 1, 1910, there were 98,695 males in
Institutions for the iosane, as compared with 89,090
females, and during tlie year 1910 34,116 males were
admitted, as comnared with 26,653 females.
There were 208 5 male in. nates of insane asylums to
every lOO.OOO males in the total population, while the
corresponding ratio of female inmates to total female
population was 199.6 tfl 100,009. The males admitted
during the year 1910 represented a ratio of 72.1, the
fenial(-'s a ratio of ,"in.7. This means that in a typical
communitv of 200.000 persons euiiall/ divided as to
se.K 20,< of the males would be found in insane asylums
and 200 of the females, and in the course of one year
72 males would be ndcnitted to the asylums, as com-
pared with 00 females.
The numijer of males in asylums for the in.sane has
inrreased faster than the number of females. In ISSO
the two .sexes had, in fact, a nearly equal representa-
tion In tliese institutions, as tlie total number of in-
mates included 20,635 males and 20.307 females; but
by iniO the number of male imiatcs had increased
to 93,695 and the number of female inmates to 89,096,
so that tlie males outnumbered tlie females by a ratio
of 111 to 100. The exce.ss of males among the current
admissions in 1910 was still greater — 128 males to
100 females.
ONE REASON WHY.
Of peculiar interest in this connection is the table
which distinguishes the cases diagnosed as alcoholic
psychosis or general paralj'sis — mental disea.ses which,
generally speaking, are the aftermath of vice and dissi-
pation. Of the 34,116 males admitted to hospitals for
the insane in 1910, 8,356, or about 25 per cent, of the
total number, were reported as .sufiering from one or
the other of these diseases, while the n\imber of fe-
males having these diseases was only 1,851, represent-
ing about 7 per cent, of the 26,053 females ad nitted.
If from the total number of admissions the cases of
alcoholic psychosis and general paralysis are de-
ducted, the disparity between the sexes practically
disappears. There are left of the total admissions
25,760 malps as compared with 24.802 females, a
alight excess of males, but not so great as naturally
would result from the fact that there are more males
than females in the general population.
The table following shows the number of admis-
sions to hospitals for the insane in 1010:

COMPARISON BY AGE PERIODS.
The statistics give the number of insane of each sex
admitted to hospitals in each ago period per 100,000
persons of the same age and sex in the total popula-
tion. The ratio of admissions increases with advanc-
ing years, reaching its maximum in extreme old age,
when senile dementia marks the weakening of the
mental faculties.
This does not mean that a majority of the admis-
sions to institutions for the insane are old people.
On the contrary, only about 10 per cent, of the insane
admitted to hospitals were over 05 years of age, while
about 57 per cent, were between 25 and 50 years of
age; but in proportion to the total number of people
in the same period of life the number of admissions la
larger in old age. than In middle life, and larger in
middle life than in youth. In fact, very few young
people are included in the admissions, and practically
no children.
Throughout the entire life period the ratio of ad-
missions lor males is larger than that for the other
sex. Upon eliiuiiiating the cases of alcoholic psy-
chosis and gcueral paralysis, the ratio for males still
remains higher than that for females up to the age of
30 and above the ace of 60, but is lower in the Inter-
veuiug years. I'iiis indicates, in other words, that
when tlie cases of general paralysis and alcoholic
psychosis are eliminated there are more cases of other
forms of insanity among women than among men In
the period of lite from 30 to 60 years of age, but
fewer in early life and in old age.

An increase of insanity is probably in some degree
a natural consequence of the rapid growth of cities in
the United States. Between ISSO and 1910 the pro-
portion of the population of the United States living
in urban communities increased about 190 percent.,
while the rural population increased only about 40
per cent As a result, 4fi per cent, of the total popula^
tion of the United States was urban in 1910, as comJ
nared with 30 per cent, in ISRO. The percentage
living in citie.s of over 100,000 Inhabitants nearly
doubled in the same Interval, being 12.4 per cent. In
1880 and 22.1 per cent, in 1910.
THE FEEBLE-r<;!INDED.
Thk nunaher of feeble-minded in institutions on January 1, 1910, was 20,731; on January 1,
1905, the Mumber was 15,318. The total nnmber of feeble-miiKled in the United States has been
estimated at not less than 1.50,000. Of tlie feeble-minded in institutions 47.2 per cent, were undei
twenty years of age and 76.4 per cent, were under tliirly years of age

FATHER'S DAY.
The State of Delaware In 1913 granted a charter to Charlotte K. Klrkbrlde and B. Carrie Stern-
berg and others for the celebration under the law8 of that State of "Father's Day" on the first
Sunday In June of each year. In accordance with the request of these Incorporators, Representative
J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania, on October 2, Introduced a bill In Congress providing that:
"The first Sunday In June In each and every year hereafter be designated as Father's Day. upon
which, as an expression of sentiment corresponding to that of Mother's Day, the rose. Irrespective

MOTHER'S DAY.
SECOND SUNDAY IN MAY.
Its object — An all-nations' and simultaneous observance for the well-being and honor of the
home.
How observed — Through some distinct act of kindness, visit, letter, gift or tribute, show remem-
brance of the Mother and Father to whom grateful affection Is due. Mother's Day Is equally a
Father's Day, and Is designed to deepen and perpetuate all family ties. The day Is so-called be-
cause In most countries no national celebration Is In special honor of the home and noble motherhood.
Its slogan — In honor of "The Best Mother Who Ever Lived" the mother of your heart. Tho
Ibadge is a white carnation. Time of observance is the second Sunday In May by churches of all
creeds, etc. Schools celebrate on Friday, and business and other organizations on Saturday pre-
ceding second Sunday In May.
I On May 10, 1913, a resolution passed the United States House of Representatives and the Senate
pommending Mother's Day for observance by the House and Senate, the President of the United
States and his Cabinet and other heads of Government departments. In 1913 the Legislature of
Nebraska made Mother's Day a State flag day In honor of the patriotism of Nebraska's true homes
and mothers.
President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Mother's Day proclamation on Saturday, May
9, 1914, asking that Sunday, May 10 (second Sunday In May, 1914), be observed as Mother's Day In
iccor(}ance with the joint resolution of the House of Representatives. "This official recognition of Congress
jf the Mother's Day movement was the culmination of years of work to permanently establish a day for
sons ahd daughters of all lands to honor their homes. The United States Is the first nation of the world
X) give 'Such a national, patriotic honor and tribute to its homes as "the fountain head of the State," and
;o its sons and daughters "for their work for the home, moral uplift and religion," for the good of the
government and humanity.
For several years it has been the custom of the Governor of almost every State In the Union to issue
k Mother's Day proclamation, asking citizens, churches, homes, and organizations to enter Into the spirit
>f the day. Former Governor Colquitt of Texas made It a practice to pardon a number of prisoners on
vlother's Day.
Mother's Day International Association — This association was organized to promote and
protect the celebration of Mother's Day and Its work In the United States and foreign countries.
Any son or daughter of any country Is eligible to membership In the Mother's Day Association.
Ct3 president is Miss Anna Jarvis, the founder of the movement.
In the United States the association has among Its honorary national officers President Wilson
md ex-Presldents Roosevelt and Taft, and Governors, or other prominent citizens of the various
States. Philadelphia. Pa. Headquarters, 2031 N. 12th Street.
VITALITY OF LAST CHILDREN.
The old belief, still common among the laity, that first-born children are endowed by nature
vlth greater vitality and longevity than last-born, has Induced Dr. Alfred Ploetz of Munich.
3ermany, to malce an exhaustive study to ascertain If this were true. He complied the returns
rom a very large number of families of the nobility, and his figures show, generally speaking,
lhat the vitality of first to ninth- born children varied very little, but that from the tenth to the
ilneteenth-born the mortality was markedly greater. Dr. Floetz's figures, published In the "Archlv
ttr Rassen und Gesellschafts-Bioligle," appeared In a recent Iseueof the JournL<l of Heredity of tho
iLmerlean Genetic Association.
I In the following table Dr. Ploetz has made groupings of first-born children, second-born, and
o on, and It was his object to find out how many of theiie died before the fifth year. Order of
ilrth. number of children, and per cent, died, as follows:
'Irst-born 614 26.4
lecond-born 539 24.9
rhlrd-born 455 26.4
fourth-born 3S6 25.6

NATIONAL BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS.
Chairman — W. C. Braisted, M. D. Treasurer — Louis A. LaGarde, M. D. Secretary — J. S. Rodman,
D., 2106 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
Preamble — The need of a standard medical examining body for the whole United States and Ita
irritories (tributary thereto) has occasioned the organization of The National Board of Medical Examiners.
Is a voluntary board, the members of which are selected from the Medical Corps of tlje Army, the Navy,
d the Public Health Service, the Federation of State Examining Boards, and other representative or-
ations, and the medical profession of the United States.
The aim of this board is to establish a standard of examination and certification of graduates in medicine,
irough which by the co-operation of the individual boards of Medical Examiners, the recipients of the
Irtlflcates of the National Board of Medical Examiners may be recognized for licensure to practice medicine.
'. The policy of the board is to conduct its examinations on a broad scientific basis of such a high yet
•a«ticable standard that the holders of its certificates will receive universal recognition.
1 The tadependent action by the board Is furthered by the financial and moral support of the Carnegie
l>undation.

ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTHOE.
Mississippi inserted an the Stat© Constitution
amendments adopted by the people in Noveimber
1914. as foUou's: Increasing (154) the niimbeir of
Supreme Court Judges to six; requiring (156)
them to be elected by the people; fixing (157)
tiheir teiin at eigiht years; and providing (152)
that the Suprenve Ooau't may sit in two divLsions.
C^nsmg oa)t the provisioms of one of these amend-
nflents. another act (161) lyrovidea for the term of
Judgfts of the Supreme Court and the manner of
noniijiating and electing them.
Mas&achusetla (174) ext<.nds the civil and crim-
inal juii.sdictian of district Police or Municipal
Coua-ts so tliat t.heir p^-ocess runs throughout the
StaVe. aad makes them courts of eupeiior and
general jurisdiction; and ('Res. 30) pro\'ides for
ttie appoimtment of a commiision of three to in-
vestigate the advisability of abolishing the office
of trial justice amd biiugiiig within the jurisdic-
tion of existing District or .Municipal Courts

mittees to rejjort on tlje need of an im.proved
system, of indexing court records, amd. if such re-
port is favorable, to authorize the committee to
comtriactl therefor.
Maryland (320) provides for the creation of
Juvenile Courts when all Judges in a circuit deem
it neoessai-y. The court is to have jurisdiction
over dependemt. neglected and delinquent male
cliildren under 20 and females under 18. New
Jer.>ey (212) provides tihat Juvenile Court records
shall be Iiept in a sejiadiate book and shall not be
admissible in evidence in any proceeding ex-cept
dnring the period of the defendant's probation or
within two yeaa-s after his discJiarge from an in-
stitution to w^bicli he was committed by such
court. After such iJeriod the clerk is required to
destioy such records unless within that time the
defendant has been convicted of an offence. Mas-
saohiUisetts (243) provides that no juvenile cases on
appeal may be held in conjunction with otiher
busine\ss of the court in rooms used for crinrinal
trials, and the court is given power to exclude
tiie general public from tliese trials.
ATl'ORNEYS— Conga-ess (No. 57) makes it un-
lavrful for amy iierson practising before any Got-
ernfment department or office to use the name of
Congressmen or Government offiicers "in adver-
tising the said taisiness."
Niiw York (254) .provides t'hat corporations for-
bidden to irractise law may furnish to persona
lawfully emgaged in the practice of law Lnforma-
tacm or oledcial semcea m connection \vith their
proftssional work; but the lawyer is di'rectly i-e-
sponsible to his client. Coriiorations may not
render services which cannot be lawfully rendered
by pei-sons not admitted to practice, nor may they
directly or indirectly solicit professional em])loy-
ment for a lawjer. >1 assachu-set ts (2'J2) forbids
corporations to practise law. or to advertise or
draw agreenieuts or legal documents not relating
to tl>ear lawful business, or to draw wills. Banks
amd trust companies may fumis'h information with
respect to inve«tments and taxation. The act does
Doli apply to public service corporations, those en-

sionere shall fuimish the courts with a list of per-
sons liable to jm-y duty, containing in firet. class
coiujties 400 and in other coimties 160 naines.
An interesting illustration of administrative detail
finding its way into a foi-mal statute is furnished;
by the Neu' York amcmdiment to the law relating
to fining delinquent jm-ors in New York Coimt7.
'iihis act (398) requires tlie Commissioner of Jurors
to tran.smit to tlie Corporation Counsel a record
in duplicate of fines imposed and the latter to
enter on sucli duplicate the final disposition of
the proceedings to enforce the fine and then to
a-etui-n it to tlie Coniniissioner of Jurors.

nine or more jurors may agree on and retum a
verdict; and (I6'i) under this authority enacts
such a provision 'with the additional requirement
tliat a trial judge when a«quested shall so insti'uct
the jury.
NEW REMEDIES — Louisiana (No. 98) creates
a mechanics' lien on roadbed, rights of way and
franchises of railroads; (No. 232) requires owners,
in cases of contracts of $1,000 or over for drillinj
oil. gas or water wells, to file a conti-act and a
bond from the contractor to seciue mechanics and
material men. amd if the bond is not sufficient, a
lien created on the property maj- be foreclosed;

owner, on the contractor's bond; and (No. 229)
regiUiates the emforcemnent of tlie lien on the prop-
eity. New York (507) extends tlhe mechanics lien
law. provides in detail for tlie priority of liens foi
materials furnished, labor performed or money ad-
vanced for improvements; and in particulaa- pro
vid.es. under various ciroumstances of mortgage oi
assignment by o\vners or contractors, for the Eub-
ordination to a subsequent mortgage of all liens i]
the holders of 75 .per cent, ot the liens agree.
South Carolina (No. 375) grants a lieu if the iiu-
provemeuts were autlioi-ized by the owner, a/nc

erty destroyed by fire is subject to a vendor's lien

UMITATION OF ACTlOiN— Virginia (290)
proyidea that com.putation of time shaU exclude
the fir.st and uiclude t.he last day of a stated
period and extends the provision, now limited to
time stated in statutes, to contracts. Virginia
(442) regulates tlie suspension of the statute of
limitations in general creditor .suits. In New lork
an action against a persou nou-resident v.'hen the
action acci'ued cannot be brouglit after tJie ex-
piration of the time siiecified in the laws of his
residence unless that time be less than that al-
lowed by New York law, in v\ihicU case the latter
applies (536).
Virginia (41fl) limits action on gi-oumd rents to
10 years from d'ate the rent became due.
CRIMES AND CR.I.MINAL, PllOOEDUREl—
Ctongreas ('No. 81). Sec. 10. evidently intended to
amend the criminal code as to defacement of
mail boxes, actually by afason of careless draftinc
provides that the criminal code of the United
States shall be amended "to read as follows." and
■Bhen inserts a lO'-line provLsiom as to the mail
boxes. Strictly inteirpreted. this provision pi-obably
repeals the entire criminal code.
Vii-ginia (418) provides that where an indict-
ment lias beemlost the State's attorney may file a
copy and trial may proceed thereon.
Mississippi (103) expressly provide? that a.n in-
dictment for violation of its proliibitions of the

and makes tilie woman a competent witness not-
witihstajading h«i- marriage to Vhe accused, unless
she has lived with him for three years after mar-
riage.
Tihe movement to abolish capital puni&hment is
represented by Mainland (214) providing that the

case the court eliaJl impose a life sentence and
shall not impose a deatili penalty, and New Jersey
(270) providing that the jury at the time of ren-
dea-ing the verdict may reco-raimend imprisonment
at hard labor for life, in which case no gi-eater
pimishmemt siliall be imposed. Virginia (198) ih-o-
vides that if a person sentenced to death or im-
prisonment in tie penitentiary aslis for time to
a-pi'ly for a writ of error the Court shall ix>5tpone

and' also that after conv. Action, senten'ce or sus-
pension of the execution of the sentence the
Court or Judge may admit the prisoner to bail.
Mississippi (21'7) provides for release on bail pend-
ing an aiioeal in certain felonies. Kentucky (39)
provide.^ that juries shall fix penalties in all crim-
inal oases.
New Jersey passed two bills in order to expe-
dite the trial of petty criminal ca.=€a and to save
the finances of cdties and tovns affected. One
(2?5) authorizes Justices of the Peace in fourth
class cities to take complaints against persons
guilty of criminal offences and issue warrants, and
if bailable to a/lmit to ball. The other (73) pro-
vides that in cities of the second cla.s3. e Record-
er's Court. Police (3ourt or .Munici")a) Court .sihall
have jurisdiction over cases of assault, larceny,
embezzlement or similar offences where the value
of the property is less than .S20. and of other
criminal offences where the pen^alty does not ex-
ceed a fine of $100 or imprischnment tor six
months, provided that the accused -waives, in
•writing, indictment and trial by jury.
The New York Charter (9.o) was amended to
authorize the Police Commis-sioner to offer a re-
■ward for the detection and convictiom of amy per-
son 'Builty of a felony. Vine former law simply
provided for a reward in cases of lajrceny, arson
or receiving stolen poods.

and that the Judge shall |)as3 upon such pi-0|)06i-
tions before entering judgment, and counsel may
resen'e bOls of exception and have tlie evideaice
annexed thereto: and also (No. lo7) provide.* tuat
eonvei-sations between husband and wife shall he

comiJelled to be a witness on the trial of a crim-
inal proceedioig aeainst the other: and on the trial
of a criminal proceeding the defendant at his own
request, and not otherwise, shall be a competent
witness, and his neglect or refusal to testify Elliall
not create any presumption against him.

Virginia (287) provides that o-n motion in ac-
tions for personal injuries contributory negligence
miL>vt be set fortli in a bill of particulai-s. but the
defendant is not i>recluded from relying on the
contributory negligence disclosed by the plaintifl's
testimony. Maryland (206) provides for judgment
by default, unless the affidavit of defence states a
legal defence, and (14) that failure of administra^
tors or executois to plead plene administravit or
insufficiency of assets shall not render them per-
sonally responsible.
The report of the Massachusetts Coraimission ott
TTniform Methods of Procedure for taking land for
pulalic purposes was referred (Res. 91) to tlie At-
torney-General for further investigation and wport.
New York (440) authorizes tlie Su|->reme Court
to ap]x)Lnt a guardian ad litem or special guardian
for infants or incompetent parsons at any stage
of am action when it appears necessaTy to protecfl
the interest of such persons. New York (b'lai
also amends civil code by providing that judgment
in dower, partition or mortgage foreclosure shall
bind persons who acquire inchoate dower in th©
real property involved after filing a notice of
pendency of action, and pomons bom between the
filing of such notice and tlie enti-y of judgment

lowing such persons to intervene and giving the
Court discretion as to answeiis b.y intervening
l^arties. aPl)ointmeuit of guardians, etc.
Loitisvana ('No. 112) regulates tlie form and ef-
fect of bonds in judicial proceedings, and provides

of such error c*r onirission or on account of the in-
sufficiency of sureties until the party furnishing

in the act.
New Jersey (198) provides that in personal ac-
tions agains't foreign coriiorations the summons may

Virginia (425) makes the jmnsdictiOTi of equity
to enforce collection of taxes concurrent wiith that
at law, and declares tihat it shall not be necessary
to prove equitable grounds of jurisdiction. It also
gives to the courts in surih ca.ses the poweirs of a
Cormnissioner of Revenue to order the taxpayer to
l>av aJl taxes due upon a. correct assessimant of hia
proiierty. (444) An Employers' Liability act for
intrastate steam railroads, modelled on the Federal
Employeirs' Liability act for initeratate carriers, pro-
vides that the pleailnig in an action to recover for
an emplojiee's injury or death na-ay embrace a cause
of action aiccniing within the Federal act without

that in a proceeding for permission to marry ngaiti
afteiT 10 years' absence of a husband or wife, tire
petitioning spouse is a competent \v'itness. .Missis-
sippi (133) in actions for non-delivery or failure to
deliver promptly makes the copy of a telegram

tences in default of pavmient of fines by the time
artuaUy silent in jail awaiting trial or sentence.
Maryland (646) and MassaChasetts (3) reduce the
fine in such cases by $1 and 50 cents resijectively
for each dav spent in jail.
Virginia (321) allows for good conduct 10 days
instead of four for each month of faithful obs^-
ance of pri-^on rules amd adds a provision that for
violation of niles 'punishable by stripes' or for
attempt to escape a convict shall forfeit all earned
aJlow-anoes. New Yorrk (358) provides that persons
in State prison under definite or indefinite sen-
tence may earn by faithful performance of duty a
commutation of .sentence or the right to be con-
sidered for parole. It provides a form of payment
for work dome by prisonoi-s. Kentucky (39) allows
10 da.vs per month for good conduct to peniten-
tiary convicts.
Kentucky (36) provides for employment of pns-
oneiTs on roads prison farms, or within prisons, and
for payment to him or his family of not e:^ceediug
15 cents per day of his earnings.
New York (287) amends in minor details the
Parole Commission act for first class cities.
Among other things the amendment proJiibits com-
mitment to a penitentiiaay for failure to pay fines
or give secmity. and provides that no pei'son coo-
victed of enumerated offences for which increased
punishment is provided for third offenders shall
be .sentenced until fingei'-print records of the
Magistrates' Counts have been searclied and the
results certified to the court. Kentucky (38)
makes the Parole law applicable to all penal in-
stitutions of the State, and authorizes a prisoner
wiho has served one-half his sentence to apply for
parole. Formea-ly the apilication for ijarole could
te made only after serving the minimium time
s|>ecified in the sentence. The amendment au-
thorizes the Parole Board to fix a period preced-
ing the application, during which the prisoner
must prove good conduct. Formerly the statute
fixed this i>?Tiod at nine consecutive moaiths pre-
ceding- application. Louisiana (No. 123) pTovides
that w.henever a person is sentenced to the State
penitentiaj-y otlierwise tihan for life, "or where the
maximum pemalty does not exceed ome year, or
persons convicted of" specified crimes, an inde-
terminate sentence shall be imposed. The mind-
mum sentence sliall not be less than that fixed
by the statute under which the comviction was
had, and the maximum not more than the maxi-
mum fixed by such statute ''provided that where
no maximum term is fixed in such statiutea said
minimum tei-m shall be taken and intended aa
being one year.'' Louisiana (No, 124) also re-
quires the Board of Pnrole. six months after the
act goes into effect, to investigate tlie conduct of
prisoners other than "lifers" sentenced to impris-
onment at hard labor or persons convicted of speci-
fied crimes (the same as those mentioned in No.
123) and to parole siwh of said prisoners as the

laws of the State." .Mississipiri (10&) creates a
Board of PardoiLS to adrise the Governor in grant-
ing OT a-efusine applications for pardon.
Aiassachusstta (241) abolishes the Board of
Prison Commissioners rand Boaj-ds of Parole, and
establishes a Bm-eau of Prisons under a director.
with an ndvisorj- board of three men and two
woimeu and a Bcaj'd of Parole of three members,
riiis bureau is given power to investigate the man-
agement and condition of all penal institutions.
Pofivers of the old Boartl of Prison Commissioners
ait vested in the new bureau, and tlie powers of
the old Board of Parole are vested in the new
boaiti. Maryland (5oG) aeates a State Prison
Control Board: Louisiama (No. 137) substitutes
a general managei- of the State peniteutlaxi' for
the Board of Control: and Kentucky (47) reor-
ganizes the Board of Piison Commissionens.
Virginia (45) requires Sheriffs and jailers to
keep re<:ords of theii- prisouei-s and to repon
nxon'thly to the State Board of Charities and Cor-
rections the records of prisoners received during
the preceding montli. stating whether the offence
■was a violation of State law or city ordinance, and
deiscribing tlie offence if impi-isonment is for non-
payment of fine. Suoh record shall give other
req^n^ed details, including color, age, plij'sical
condition, sentence, and whether confirmed dnmk-
axd or drug habitue. If such report is not fur-
nish^ the Secretary of tlie State boajd may pre-
pare it, and, oai certifying its cost, that sum is
to be deducted from any funds due the default-
ing Sheriff or jailer. -
New Yorls (236 and 242) reorganizes pemal and
charitable institutions in Westcliester County un-
der the managament of a Commissioner of Char-
ities and CoiTection. While the county jadl is
left under the Sheriff, the law requires all courts
and magistrates in the county authorized to sen-
tence to county jail or penitentiary to sentence
such persons to the coomty penitentiary and worli-
hou.se which is under the new commissionea".
Massachusetts (76) authorizes the removal from
S'tate jirison to pi-ison camps of pi-isoners other
than 'lifers" who have shown by ''conduct and
disposition that they would be amenable to less
rigorous discipline." and (lS3l dtops the pro-
vision limiting to 10O the number of inmates to
be accommodated at the prison camp. By (1871
tare law punishing escapes from prison camps is
extended to attempts to escape, and the punish-
ment therefor is made imijrisonment for one to
five years in the institution to which he was
origifn'allv sentenced. .
Kent\icky (70) makes it a felony to interrupt. the

(594) reorganizes a Commission on New Prisons
and iJTOvides for the selection of a new prison site
amd the constnuction of a fai-m and ind-ustrial
pirison to cost ,S1. 250.000. The commi.=sipn is
also required to adopt plana for tlie demolition, of
tire present cell honse and block at Smg Sing
and the substitution of new buildings. Pnson
labor is to be used in the work so taj as prac-
ticable.
ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF
• ST.VTE GOVBRNNfENTS.
Recogniticm of the demand for business method.^;
in the conduct of government is found in acts
establishing budget systems of appropriation, cen-
tral puTchasing agencies, and economy and effi-
ciency commissions.
New Jersey (15). establishing a budget system,
requires the Governor to make his recommended
appropriations on the ba'sis of estimates submitted
by the departments- all appropriations are re-
quired to appeal- in the general ap'ironriation bill.
Carefujly guaixled urovision is made for the trans-
fer of iteuLs to relieve |)0ssi)>le inflexibility of see-"
regated appropriations. N°\v York (130). provid-
Lng a budget system., requires the Governor to
jubmit reccnanended approiiriatious and authoi-
izes him to submit estimates of revenue. The
principal rea|X>nsibility for i)repaxing budget data
is placed on the Chaii'man of the Finance Com-
mittee of the Legislature. Not later tlian March
15 annually these committees ore required to sub-
mit a budget of apiM-opriations. detailed estimates
of revenues, and proposed State ta-\es. The most
important changes in present procedure are those
requiring all appropi-iations to be in a single bUl.
providing tibat the appropriation bill shall be a
special order for five full legislative days in Com-
mittee of tlie Whole, authorizing the appearance
of heads of dep-ar-t meuts - to be heaa-d and nnsw-er
inquiries, making the biU when advanced to ttiird
readijng a special order for three full legislative
davs. and confining amendments on tliird reading
to ' reduction or elimination of items except by
unanimous consent. .Maryland (159) authoiizes the
Govei-nor to submiit two budgets to tihe L-ogisla-
tui-e.
Loaiisiana (No. 140) creates a Board of State
Affairs which is required to compile and review
departmental estimates and submit a budget pa-ior
to the meeting of the Legiislature; to investigate
the efficiency of tlie State administrative agencies,
and, to take over the duties of existing offices
dealing with assessments of State taxes and su-
pervision of local taxation.
Now Jersey (68) creates a central piia-chasinB
agency, conti-olled by a commission consisting ol
the GovevnoT. Treasurer and Comptroller, to pur-
chase all supplies for State departments and of-
fices except for construction work. A purcfliasing
agent, at ?5.00O a yeatr. appointed by the com-
mission, witli am advisoi-y boai'd composed of rep-
resentatives from each department, is charged with
the fixing of standards and prices and the admin-
istration of the detail pixj visions govemdnK pur-
chases.
New York (49) aims at economy through co-
opei-atiom of State departments by authorizing, a
department having apparatus or expert service
necessary to perform special work to furnish the
some to other departments, on request, and m
otlier ways suggests and facilitates co-opei'atiou.
Maa-ylaod (2S3) with similar purpose provides for
the use of trained specialists in educatiomal insti-
tutions by making ]>rofessor3 of designate^! sub-
jects in the State college, the State entomologist,
tlie State paOiologist and the State horticulturist
respectively.
Massachusetts (296) abolishes its Economy and
Efficiency Commission and sub.'rt)itute3 therefor a
Supervisor of Administration. Virginia (2''i-) cre-
ates an unipaid Economy and Efficien.cy OomimiB-
sion to investigate the pqs.sibility of more effi-
cient and economical organization and administra-
tion of the State and local governments, and
(199) authorizes a committee to study methods
and expense of publishing State and local docu-
ments.
Massachusetts (2) increases centra) control over
expenses by prohibiting increases in salary of em-
ployees without approval of the Governor and
Oounoil. , ,. i.
Reorganization in the interest of centiralizatioa
and ec<jnoiny is found in Massachusetts (288)
abolishing port and harbor offices and substitutine
a single Commission oia Waterway^ and Public
Lands, and in Maryland (682) vesting in a new
Conservation Gommiission the powers and duties of
several a.bo!i9hed offices.
A.a interesting example of contingent legialatnon
and of State retirement from admindstrative fields
fully occupied by the Federal Government is
found in New York (342). which pn-ovides that on
the filing of a certificate by designated officers
that they have, in pursuance of the authority
delegated by the act. transferred the State quar-
antine establishment to the United States, tlie
office of Health Officer of the Port of New York
shall be abolished.
Virginia (400) creates a State Art Commission.
and Maryland (705) creates a State Charities
Boaad. , , , .
Kentuckv (19) provides for a Fire Marshal in
the Insurance Dei>airtment to enforce the laws re-
lating to fires and generally t<> inyestigate. regu-
late and co-operate with owners in preyentiag

stitution, n-ho shall knowingly or wilfully mis-
conduct himself in office or neglect to perform
any da.ity or be Intoxicated m public placea oo:
engage in gambling or riolating any penal statute
involring moral turiiitude. Such cases aTe pre-
ferred and shail be tried forthwith. Prowsion is
made for appeal on a writ of eiixir from a decree
of removal.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Virginia (68) proT3oses a constitutional amend-
ment authorizing the Legislature to submit to
cities a choice of several foft-ms of government.
Meamwhdle. to malce this latter provision effec-
tive, pronsion is made (65 and 76) for the metiiod
of procedure for drafting and submitting to the
Legislature a desired special form, of govemmeiit.
New York (156) provides that i^etitions for change
of government under the Optional City GoveaiimeJit
law may he presented after June 30. iQiW. thereby
practically postponing the effect of the act umtil
that time.
Oklahoma (p. 120). by adopted constitutional
ameiLdment. authorizes counties to abolish or re-
sume township form of government. Supei'visors
of comities adjoining lai'ge cities are by ViTgioda
(102) given the same powers as City Oouncils. ex-
cept t)hat their regulations are to be subject to
the air>i>roTal of the Circuit CJourt.
Virginia (103) recognizes the ueed of experts im
city government and proposes to ameoid the Con-
stitution so that persons having teohoical skill
may be apiwinted to office although neithai' resi-
dents nor voters, and (281) authorizes the appolnt-
memt of police-women in certain cities.
Massachusetts (223) prorides for cerubral pux-
chasang departments in cities (except Bostoa)
K(hich adopt it on referendum.
New Jersey (J. R. 7) continues its Commission
on Municipal Finara'cnng. Im;portajnt bills i-ecom-
mended by this commission were passed by the
Legislature, but vetoed by the Governor. One
which became law (2o2) contains detailed proT^i-
sions for the issuamce of bands by counties and
murucipalities.
Tlie New York Ohaxter as amended (615) pro-
hibits the use "of the proceeds of long-term bonds
for non-revenue-producmg improvements.
One of the last strongholos of tlie fee system
of compensating public officers is removed by New
York (525). wliich requires the Sheriff of New
York County, after Jan-uary 1. 1918. to pay over
the one-half of his fees (said to amount to
$50,000 annually), which he now retaiins.
City plannmg is p(rorided for in Massachusetts
(190). which authorizes cities to establish Board.s
of Survey to make and alter plans for streets, and
by New Jersey (175). which requires Munaoipal
Kan and Art Commissions to prepare a city plan
when they deem its prei>airation desirable. New
York (112) autlioi-Lzes excess coiodemination in the
City of New YorK to the extent necessai-y to form
suitable building sites abutting on street and other
improvements.
New Jersey (239) authorizes cities to establish
''white ways by illumination of main thorough-
fares at the exjjense of abutting property. New
York (108) authorizes villages to estabhah pub-
licity funds for adverti.siaig their advaintages and
iNew Jersey (25 and 279) gives simUax authority
to counties and cities.
LoTiisiana (No. iiS) inroposes a constitutional
amendment authorizing mimicipalities and coumties
by a majority vote in nimibex and value of prop-
eirty^)wning t/axpayera to levy a special tax. not
exceeding five malls for not exceeediing ten years,
in aid of public improvements, railway enterprises
and river transportation lines.
New Jersey authorizes (162) municipal construc-
tion. ouTiershdp and operation or lease of docks,
warehouses and shipping facilities: and (120), con-
struction amd o(i)ea"ation or lease of a municipal
railroad through, over or upon city streets or pri-
vate proi>e(rty. with incidental docks, warehouses

two wiater districts amd establislies a Water Sup-
ply Commission for each, with power to find new
sources of municipal viater supply, to acquire
water rights, comstruct water systems, and make
arrangement for joint aupi)lies to different mu-
nicipalities.
Rhode Island (1.411) provides for a Retirement
Board to retire employees of the City of Provi-
dence, and Maryland (498) prorides pensions for
disabled employees of Baltimore. ^Iassachusetts
(75) makes tlie pledge or transfer of a right to
a State or municipal pension or the holding of
such pension as collateral a misdemeanor. New
York (201) permits a State or municipal pen-
sioner to hold certain offices witOiout forfeiting his
.peaision. it being suspended during his holdimg of
such office.
Virginia (451) provides for removal of officers
by the couits.
Kentucky (76) authorizes owners of horse-drawn
vehicles licensed by one municipality to operate in
ancthea' municipality.
CIVIL SERVICE.
New York (438') authorizes Civil War veterana
employed continuously for 10 years in the State
service, wilio have reached 70. to apply for retire-
ment at half pay not exceeding $1,0(30. If such
vetea-ans be ma,m.ial laboreis they shaU be retired
when incapacitated.
New Jersey (129) requires the State Oommission
to provide for the keeeping of efficiency records
for tlie State and municipal competitive serviee.
Municipalities aie required to keep efficiency rec-
ords subject to the supeirvision of the State Com-
mlssKxn. these recoi'ds to be a basis of promotion,
and. in case of reduction of force the persons
shown by the records to be least efficient are to
be dropped first; and (122) provides for demotion
to le.^ser positions of pei-sons whose positions are
abolished for reasons of economy and for placinp
such pei'sons' names on special eligible lists whicE
take precedence of other lists for the positions
abolished or siinilar positions.
New Jersey (Res. 6) creates a commission to
study the operation of the Oivil Service laws ia
the State and its momicipalities. New York (357)
gives Municipal Commissioners power to investi-
gate the operation of the Oivil Seiwice law and
niles. conduct hearings, .summon witnesses, etc.
Ma^ssaohusetts (297) oiithorizes the Civil Semce
Commission to investigate the woa-k and compen-
satiom of officei's and employees in the classified
service, and on request of the ai>r>ointing power
to inquire into the efficiency and conduct of pax-
titular officere and employees, and if Decenary
recommend their removal.
ELECTIONS.
The Okla:homa initiated constitutional amend-
ment (p. 114). making ability to read and write
a section of the State Constitution a qualifica-
tion of voters, excepting certain persons and their
lineal descendants, having been held unconstitu-
tional, a joint resolution (p. 144) proixwea a new
ameudiment. changing the description of the per-
sons excepted from tJhe literacy test to those who
have seen military or naval service (including ser-
vice in any foreign nation) and their descendants,
Tliis seems to vary the usual ''grandfather clause"
by ooaifining the ballot to the military and their
descendants.
New Jer.=ey (277) requires registration in person
or by affidavit in municipalities of more than
lO.OOO. The provision for registration by affidavit
is new and apphes to persons prevented from reg-
istering in peTson by Ulness or absence from State.
Tliis law also authorizes marking the ballots with
a ^t- mark as well as with an X. State-wide
registration is required in Oklahoma (24). Louisi-
ana (No. 195) pa-ovides for Tegistration throughouj
the State.
Oklaihoma (25) permits voting in another pre-
cinct by the voter absent from his own cotmty,
and Viii-ginia (369) permits absent voters to vote
by registered mail.
Massachusetts (16) regnlates primary ballot ar-
rangement of candidates for delegate to National
Conventions. Preferences for President shall be
entered on the ballot, if declared by candidates
and consented to by i>erson iireferred. which con-
sent may be communicated by telegraph or cable.
Massachusetts (179) repeals (subject to referendum
at the next State' election) the 1914 law author-
izing a single ballot for all parties at primajy
elections and restwee tlie 1913 requirement oi

separate ballots for each party, California (1. 2
Special S&ssion) ameind the IMxect Primary and
Pre.sidential Pi-iniai-y laws. Chapter 135 of the
Laws of 1915 provided for re^stration without
declaratian of p^aaty afliliation. but that act was
rejected by the voters on referendum. The 1916
amendment provides for de^elaration of party aX-
filiation 'at the time of "voting at a primary elec-
tion instead of at the time of registration. Mary-
land (292) prohibits voting at primaTy elections
vrithout disclosiing party affiliation. Soaith Da-
kota (3. Special Session) axlvences date fixed by
the 1915 law for the general ixrimraiT' to obriate
necessity of two primaries in the Presidential year,
one for State officei-s and anotliei- for national
conventions, and also contains new provisions as
to nominsitinE delegates and exijres^ing preference
for I-^esident. The necessity of supplying defects
of the 1915 Primary law was resixjnsible fw- the
special session in this State. Loui.^iana (No. 35)
is a Primary law pxcvidinc; that all party canidi-
dates for State amd local offices, including United
States Senators and Congi-essmen. shaJl be nomi-
nated by direct primary. Louisiana (No. 130)
is a General Election law dealing with nomina-
tions, ballots, etc.
Kentucky (13) enacts a Connipt Practices act
prohibating cori)oration contiil>utioin to and limit-
ing amounts of campaign expenses, and aimulling
elections in ceilain eases of yiolations.
INITIATIVE. REFEIt'ENDUM AND RECALL.
Oklahoma (32) amends the Initiative and Refer-
endum law respecting the distribution of pTiblicity
pamphlets. If public officials fail to print and
distribute required pamphlets an deotor may peti-
tion t)he court for a mandamus, but failure to
print and distribute such pamphlets is not to in-
validate any election.
Mississippi (159) is the consbitutional amend-
ment authorizing the initiative and referendum
adopted in 1914. It applies to constitutional
amendments aa well as statutes.
The abseaice of further legislation in this field
is probably due to The fact that no State west of
the Mississippi Eiver held a regular session this
year.
BE VISION AND AMEND.MENT OF STATE
CONSTITUTIONS.
Massachusetts (98) submits to the general elec-
tion 1916 tlie question of calling a Constitutional
Convention. If a))pi'oved. 320 delegates are to be
elected finst Tuesday of May. 1917. and the con-
vention meets first Tuesday of April foUo\¥ing.
Nomination and election of delegates must be by
non-partisan, ballots.
Specific constitutional amendments proposed or
adopted are classified under the subject matter to
■Which they relate.
UNIFORM STATE LAWS.
Bills recommended by the Conference of Com-
missioners on Uniform State Laws were passed aa
follovFS: Uniform Ti'ansfer of Stock Act — New
Jersey (191). Uniform Partneirship Act — Mary-
land (175). Uniform Bill.s tind Notes Act — Mis-
sissippi (244). Uniform Tonens System Act —
ViTginia (62). Uniform Probate of Wills .\ct —
Louisiana (No. 92). Uniform .Acknowledgment of
Foi-eisn Deeds Act — Ivouisiana (No. — ).
STATUTES'— PREP \R.\TION REVISION AND
CONSOLIDATION.
Virginia (147) proposes to amend the Constitu-
tion respecting the reading of bills so that in-
stead of being read at length on three different
calendar days im each House they shall be read
by title on three such days and at length once in
each House. New York (32) amends the law reg-
\il.atimg the Bill Drafting Commission by making
the Comanissioners' five-year term indefinite, by
reducing their salaries from S6 000 to $5,000 each,
payable in six monthly instalmenta. and by r-
quiring liiem to keep their office at the Capitol
ojjen froim December 1 tlirough the session instead
o-f from Seiitombeir 1. These changes reduce the
fixed cost of the office by $2,400 annually out of
en expenditure for last yeaj of about $37,000
Ixyuisiana (No. 260) creates a commission to in-
Testigate legislative procedure and to Tenort on the
desirability of establishing a legislative reference
bureau.
Lobbying before the Legislature' is regulated by
Kentucky (16) and Mississippi (105).
Now Jersey (84) creates a commission of law-
yers who Qie ov have been counsel to cities to
revise and codify statutes relating to municipa.!-
ities and to report bills for the delegation to
mimicipalities of power to deal with local matters,
thereby avoiding the necessity for resort to the
Legislature. IMie preamble to this act suggests
that such delegation, in addition to removing
"confusion and nucertainty." would also "Ehoi-ten
the sessions of the LegislatUire."
New York (378) rei)eal3 the existing law au-
thorizing the preparation of an index to the State
statutes. Tlie contiimiance of tlie index is made
dependent on the report to the next Legislature
of the Chairman of the .ludiciai-y Committees o£
the Senate and Assembly. New York (400) ex-
tends to Febniai-y 15, 1917. the time for the final
reiwrt of the commissioners to consolidate laws
relating to decedents' estates and Surrogates'
Courts.
Massachusetts (Res. 43) provides for tlie ap-
pointment of three ''able and discreet persons
learned in the law" as commissioner to consoli-
date and aii'ange the general laws of the State.
The commissioners are instructed to render the
laws "concise and intelligible.'' to ''omit redun-
dant enactments." to a'eject suiierfluous wojtds. to
condense into concise form if consistent with
clearness "all circuitous, tautological and ambig-
uous phraseology, and to suggest methods of cor-
recting, supplying or amending mistakes, omis-
sions, inconsistencies and imperfections. 'i A re-
port of sutMtantive cliajnges is to be made in Jan-
uary. 1918. and the final reiKirt in January. 1919
The commissioners shall receive $5 000 a year and
may expend such sums as the Govemoir and Coun-
cil authorize.
New Jersey (56) authorizes the Governor. Pres-
ident of the Senate and Speaker of the .\s.sembly
to contract for the preajaration of a supplement
to the compiled statutes to cover the session laws
from 1911 to 1916. inclusive, and abstracts of de-
cisions.
EDUCATION.
Oon,gress (No. 52) in<:t)i'poi'fltes ".\merican Acad-
emy of Arts and Letters" to further interests of
literature and fine arts, with not exceeding 50
members. 49 of \\hcwn are named in the act.
fv'ew Jersey (152) prohibits conferring of degrees
by any institution not licensed by the State
Board of Education, and contains curious detailed
procedure for imposing penalities for violation of
the act.
New York (545) incorix)rates "Institute for Pub-
lic Service" to conduct training seliool to prepare
men for the public sen'ice by dcriog field worlc in
oo-operation with iniblic officers. This field work
may be conducted in the problems of public busi-
ness, education and benevolent foundations. The
wide scope of the institute's work is indicated b.y
the power to "searoh foa- strong administrators
and for large opi>ortunitie3 that need efficient
men."
Mississippi (110) creates an unpaiid commission
to study and oliniinate adult illiteracy, and (111)
establishes a training school for delinquent chil-
dren.
Kentucky (73) provides for a censms by the Il-
literacy Commission of all adult illiterates.
New Jersey (76 and 102) provide appropiiations
for vocational education. \Iassachusetts (95) de-
fines co-operative couises authorized in the public
schools and co-operating industrial establishments
ns "couises appiroved as such by the Board of
Education and conducted in imblic shools in which
toclin'ical or related instruction is given in con-
iimction with practical experience by emploj'ment
in co-oparating factory, manufactory, mechanical
and mercantile establishment or workshop."

Massachusetts (Res. 90) creates a commission
to investigate '■physical training for bovs and girls

Im view of the opnoiition of labor unions to the
use of tihe Stat« militia in labor disturbances, it
is interesting to note the amendments in New
York of the Military law (355) and of the code
of criminal procedure (353). which taJ<e from the
SJieriffs. Mayors and Judges of the Supreme Court
power to call out the militia and confines this

serve militia in case the National Guard is un-
equal to an emcTgency. and authorizes the Gov-
ernor to enroll all able-bodied males between IS

contains an interestirng provision that military of-
fences shall be misdemeanors and tliat conviction

TAXATJOiN.
Massaclhusetts (269 see also 300) imposes an in-
come tax. Incomes from iuvestmonts. except from
savings deixisits or bonds of the United States or
of the State and its subdivisions, are taxed 6 per
cent. Incomes from trades, professions and busi-
ness are taxed Hi per cent, on the excess over

consisting of real property within the State. An
exemption of So. 000 is allowed to the estate of
a resident. and a proportionate part of
$5,000 to the estate of a non-resident. Tliis
act is notable because it is the only es-
tate tax levied by a State, although a tax
of this sort is included in the Revenue bill
now pending in Congress, and Ut^h Imposes such
a tax. but provides for its proportional payment
by all the beneficiaries. The same act also im-
poses ''as a tax upon the right to receive" an in-
heritance tax at rates varying from % per sent,
to 3 per cent, on ta'ansfers to specified liineal and
collateral relatives, amd from 5 to 8 per cent, on
otlier transfers. An exemption of $25,000 is al-
lo^ved to the specified relatives and of $1,000 to
others. Virginia (484) imposes a tax at rates
varying from 1 to 4 per cent, upon all inheritances
in excess of $15,000 passing to snecified lineal
and collateral relatives heretofore exempt. and__im-
poses a tax at increased rates varying from 5 to
20 per cent, upon inheritances passing to others.
Kentucky (26) divides beneficiaries into five
classes, and imposes a tax at primary rates vary-
ing from 1 to 5 per cent, upon inheritances ex-
ceeding an exemption of from $500 to $10,000.
and not exceeding $25,000-. the rate and the ex-
emption vaffyiug according to the class of bene-
ficiary. Upon the excess over $25,000 the rate
increases with the amount to from one and one-
half to three times the primary rate. Massacuu-
setts (268) adds to its Succession Tax law a nen
class of beneficiaries, consisting of persons other
than reilatives specified in the preceding classes,
and imposes a graduated tax of from 5 to 10 pet
cemt ui>on such class. New York (548) reduces
the grades and lowera the exemptions of the In-
heritance Tax law and also creates a new class,
consisting of relatives formerly included in thu
direct class, and now taxes this class at rateii
varying from 2 to 5 per cent, instead of from 1.
to 4 per cent.
New York (261) re-enacts its secured debts tax'
in substantially the form of the existing law.
This tax of 75 cents per $100 applies chiefly to
mortgages and bonds secured by real property in
other States, bonds secured by other than real
proiiei-ty and public bonds, and its payment ex-
empts the security fi'om the iiersonal-property tax
for five yean-s. The mortgage-recording tax. the
principle of which is much the same. is. also
amended (335) to permit the tax to be paid on
the whole amount of a mortgage seciu-ed by real
pronerty part of whicli is within and part without
the State, thus securing exemotion from the pei-
eonal- property tax of the entire amount of ttie
security. . . , ,
Louisiana proposes two constitutional amend-
ments one of which (No. 16S) would strike out
the requirement that all pronerty shall be taxed
in proportion to its value and permit the valua-
tion for State taxes to be different from the val-
najtion for otlier purpo?ea. The same amendment
would also extend the duties of the Board of State
Affairs to include the assessement of all tajcable
pmnertv for State purpases and give to the boani
such aiitliority relative to State assessment, bud-
get income and expenditure as may be confeo-red
\xy the Legislature. Another act (No. 140) relates
to the same matter. The other amendment (No.
253) would exempt from taxation ships and ocean-
going tugs and barges engaged Im "oveirseas to'ade
and commerce.'' but expressly provides that such
vessels operated in the coast trade shall not b«
within the e-xemption.
Virginia (46i;) allows the same deductions in
the assessment of income or other taxes for
adopted ohildiren as for natural children; (472 and
476) revises its Income and License Tax laws and
adds new provisions for the taxation of collection
agencies and of v. ater. heat, liglit aod power com-
panies: and (495) provides that in tlie case of
Virginia consolations not doing bii=inoss in that
.State no income or ad valorem taxes shall he im-
posed on stocl;s. bonds, investments or other in-
tangible property thereof. .Merely holding stock-
holders' meetings is not to be construed as doing
business in the State; but intangible property sub-
ject to taxation, if a.'sig-ned to such corporation,
shall continue to be subject to taxation "now Od"
hereafteo' imiKised." (This would seem to confine
the act to intangible property oAvned by corpona-
tioms at the time the act was ixissecl.)
.Massachusetts (242) imposing a license tax on
peddlers exc&pts wholesaler or jobber having per-
manent business place in the State and selling to
dealers only and agents selling at wholesale by
sample.
Vii-giuia (64) prohibits suits to restrain' assess-
ment ar collection of State or local tax except
where there is no adequate remedy at law.
Oklahoma (initiated const, amend, adopted, p.
119) requires property taxes for school purposes
levied on public utility companies operating in
more than one couuty to be paid into the com-
mon school fund.
Virginia (215) converts fne State Advisory Board
on taxation into a State tax board, with power to
supervise local tax officers, and contains detailed
provisions as to valuation. Mississippi (98) cre-
ates a State Boai-d of Tax Commissioners and
regulates assessmemts.
Kentucky (137) creates a commission to pre-
pare a new law on revenue and taxation.
CONSERVATION.
Three States adoiJted la.ws for the prevention of
forest fires. Massachusetts, in a new act (51).
provides that the wi-itten permission of an author-
ized fire official mu."t be obtained before open
fires may be built, between the fiiT.t day of March
and the first day of December. The burning of
debris from fif^hls and orchards and like fires are
permitted without official sanction. New Jersey
(44) amends the existing law by providing a more
severe penalty for a wilful than for an innocent
violation of the Fire law. and gives liower to the
Board of Consei-vation and Development in its
discretion to permit the person who violates the
law to pay the cost of extinguishing the fire or
other expense less than the minimum fine. Vir-
ginia (268) increases the penalty for setting fire
to woods or any inflammable substance on lands
whereby damage is done to the property of otliers.
and extends tTie provision to cover cases in which
property of othei-s is "jeopardized."
Maryland (682) creates a Conservation Comrnia-
sion to control its fish. bird, game and fur-bearing
animal resources. Vii-ginia (1521 creates a Depart-
ment of Game and Inland Fisheries to enforce
fish, game and forestry la.\vs and to "foster the
presei-vation of all wild life in the State." Mis-
sissippi (99) creates a Fish and Game Department
for the enforceanent of the game laws. New York
(451) amends generally the Conservation law reg-
ulating public laaads and forests.
LIQUOR LAWS— PROHIBITION.
Maryland (30) submits the question of nrohibi-
tion to voters at the 1910 November election.
Georgia (Extra Scs'-.ion 19!5. -No. 2) forbids
advertisement of liquors or solicitation of orders
therefor, and (No. 3) nrovides for more rigorous
enforcemeint of prohibition lavs, with particular
reference to duties of and penalties on residents
and property ownc^rs. and (No 4) re<;ulates the
shipment aiid receipt of limited quantities of
liquors. Virginia (140) is a comprehensive Pro-
hibition law forbidding manufacture, sale, adver-
tisement etc.. creating the office of Commissioner
of Prohibitiou for its enforcement, and in vanous
ways, including simple form of indictment, lia-
bility for daanages dene by intoxicated persons,
etc discouraging violation of its iirovisions; and

pemiittinK intrastate or interstate shipments. Mis-
sissippi (104) makes liquor advertisements criminal
ajid also aiitlroi-izes injunctions to restrain them.
Mississippi (103) forbids transporting iuto the
State or reception therein of liquors contrary to
law. The penalties and in-ovisiorLs for enforce-
ment are very rigorous.

in Q towm where licenses for sale of such liquors
are not panted, even though such delivery he by
a person licensed, to sell in other towns.

malt liqiiora. wliethea' or not intoxicatine or con-
taining alcohol, in mtmicipalities wliere tihe sale
of intoxicating liquors is prohibited. Louisiana
(No. 113) makes it unlawful to ship or carry any
vinous liquors into any portion of the State where
the sale of such liquocs is orohibited by la,w or
ordinance, except as provided in this act. Car-
riers bringing such liquors into the State ond
m.aking delivery in any prohibition territory are
required to make a record of sucli carriage a'nd de-
livery and fumisih a coiiy of it to the clerk of the
court of the county from which carried and of the
county to which carried. Delivery by carriers
must be to consignee or his duly authorized agent.
Packages carrying liquor from one part of the
State to a prohibition temtorv within the State
must be labeHed. The act permits shipping and
carrying for the consignee's ovn use or that of his
family of not exceeding; 55 gallons of liquors.
Apparently the law is directed only at the dealer
in liquors, because this allowance of 55 gallons is
not limited to any particular period, and appar-
ently that quantity could be shipped to individual
consignees daily, so that there is no restriction on
individual consignee's supply.
Soutii Carolina (No. 538) m^ake-s it a misde-
meanor to sell any formula or distilling apparatus
for making intoxicating bevai-ages. except thoise
containing less than 2 per cent, of alcohol or

re-examination by the board, to ttie Baltimore
City Com-t. The act does not apply to the use of
films for educaUomal. religious and like purposes
by described institutions.
Massachusetts (118) permits second and third
class coiistiiiction for moving-picture buildings
■where the api'aratus is oi>erated with cellulose ace-
tate films of a fixed -width and using an enclosed
incandescent lamp, and New Jersey (27G) author-
izes the use of portable booths for temporai-y ex-
hibitions for church and like meetings.

declares that an accumulation of water in whicll
mosquitoes are likelv to breed Ls a nuisance. New

vaults above gixjund without the consent of the
local Board of Health.
Virginia (427) makes it a misdemeanor to vio-
late the law requiring owners to bury or cremate

One of the most in-ipoi-tant regulations of indl-
vidiial liberty in the interest of public health in
recent years is contained in Virginia (226). which
provides that tubercular persons who by their hab-
its place otJiers in darnger of infection may ha

surance Commission to study unemployment.
WORK.MEN'S OOMPEXSATION AND EM-
PLOYEiRS' DIi.ABILITY— Kentucky (33) en-
acts an Elective Workmen's Oomnensatioa
law for industries other than agriculture
and domestic employment employing 5 or
more: requires accepta.nce of the act by em-
T>]o5''er and employee to be by written notice; takes
from the tinployer who fails to elect his common
law defences and leaves these defences axrainst the
employee who fails to elect: fixes the rate of
compensation at not over 05 per cent, of wages
with a maximum and minimum. This act takes
the place of a pi'evious compensaticvn act declared
unconstitutional by the State Supreme Court.
New York (622) extends its Workmen's Com-
pensation lar^v meviously applicable only to listed
hazardous employments to employees not engaged
in hazardous occupations and their emplovees who
elect to become snbiect to its terms. The em-
ployer elects by posting notice. T^he employee's
election is presumed from failure within a stated
time to file written reiection.
Maryland (86) provides that a mine worker
shall be deemed to be employed in Marj'Iand and
entitled to the benefits of its Workmen's Com-
pensation act if the principal mjiiie entrance is in
the State, notwithstanding that the employee is
injiired or killed while working at a point actually
within anoti'ier Sitate. Ma.osacihuisetts (307) coirrecta
a drafting defect in the existing law which on a
strict interi>retation would have c<nTifin.fd the
Compensation law to employees of municipalities.
Massachusetts (00) reduces the waiting period
from 2 weeks to 10 days,
Louisiana (No. 243) amends its Compensation
law , to make compensation depend on "wages"
(defined tlie daily rate of pay "under the con-
tract of hire in force at the time of the accident")
instead of "average weekly yvages" (defined as
ome-fifty-second of the annual earnings), and to
make the compensation for certain disabilities
fixed instead of allowing discretion, and to make
several other changes, notably, to permit the
court to require bond from an emplo.ver against
whom a judgment of compensation has been ren-
dered if the employer has not taken out insur-
ance, evidently a step toward compulsory in-
surance.
New York (622) nnthorizes compensation for
".seri'^us facial or head disfigurement," Insurance
carriers are required to pay to t;he .State 'Treas-
urer SlOO for every accident resulting in death for
every compensable death case in which thei-e is
no DC-son entitled to receive compen.>^ation. These
liayments are to be held in a special fund and

employees who. after sufferiiiB pennanent partial
disability, subsequentiv sustained injury resulting
in permanent total disability.
Mariland (368) extends the benefits of its law
to alien non-resident deipemdents on the same
basis as residents, except that future pa3mienta
may be commuted by payment of a lump sum
equal to three-foiurths of tjheir present value, and
(597) makes other changes in the existing Com-
pensation law. New York (622) limits the non-
residents entitled to co'inpensation to surviving
wife or child, or df none, surviving parent or
grandparent wibom. the employee has supported
wlholly or in part for one year prior to the ac-
cident.
New Jersey (54) adds an interesting variation
to the tendency to take cases involving the right
to or the amount of compensation out of the
courts and provides for tlieir settlement by ad-
miaiistrative commission. The New Jersey «ct
leaves disputics to be settled by the courts, but it
creates a "Workmen's Compensation Aid Bureau"
in th« Labor Department, which is required gen-
erally to observe the operation of the Compensa-
tion law and particularly to assist employees in
recovering their just compensation.
. Massadhusetts (72) makes tlie (report of a phy-
sician appointed by the Industrial Accident Board
to examine au injured emiilovee admissible in evi-
dence provided the employer and insm-ex have
been furnished with copies thea-eof.
New YoTk (622) limits appeals to the Coiurt of
Appeals in compensation cases to cases in which
the .Appellate Division's decision is not unanimous.
or consent to tib.e appeal is given by the .\i>|)el-
late Division or by a Judge of a Coiui. of Appeals,
New York (■1-78) provides that contracts for
public work shall contain a stipulation that the
contract shall be void unless the contractor insm-es
compensation to employees on such work who
are within the Compensation law. Kew York (622)
malces it a misdemeanor for any emiiloyer to fail
to insure the i>ayment of compensation in one of
the ways provided by tlie act. This latter act
also authorizes the inclusion in one policy of
employers who perfoi-m labor and tfheir employees.
For other acts dealing with insurance of com-
pensation, see Insurance.
New York (622) puts the whole cost of ad-
ministering the Workmen's ComiJensation act on
the industries to wliidh it applies by providing that
after July 1. 1017. the Industrial Commission shall
annaiaHy cominite the exj^ose of administering
tlie Compensation law (including apparently the
expense of operating the Stat« inyurance fund) and
assess insm-ance carriers, including the State fund,
that proportion of such expense which tliei total
compensation paid by such carriers respectively
bears to the total compensation paid by all car-
riers.
The possibility oi (restoring the earning power
of injuretl employees is recognized in Jlassachu-
setts (Res. 75). mhioh requires the Board of Edu-
cation to report to the next Legislature on facili-
ties for special training and instruction to persons
whose earning capacity .has been destroyed or im-
paired by injury.
Massachusetts (Res. 157) creates a Social In-
surance Commission to study siclmess. unemploy-
ment and old age of wage-earuea's.
Congi^ess [- ) passed a Worlunen's Comipensa-
tion act for Federal emp^^vees. fixing comi^ensa-
tion at not over 66 2-3 per cent, of wages, not
o^-er $66.67, not mider $33.33. and creating a
commission to adminisiter the act.
South Carolina (557) and Virginia (444) in
effect apply the Federal Employees' Liability law
to cajTriers in intrastate commerce. The fellow ser-
vant rule is abolished, tlie assumption of risk rule
is not to apply where tHie employer's violation of
a safe'ty law conta-ibutes to the accident and con-
tributory negligence is limited in its effect to
proportional reduction of damages. These laws
have been copied fi-om the Fed'fral law and tend
to make the law regulating liability for injuries
to camriers' employers the same whetlier the ac-
cident happens in interstate or intrastate com-
merce.
MISCELLANEOUS — Congress incMdes in two
appropriation acts (Xos. 132. 143) the prohibition
against the use of stop watches on measuring
devices or the payment of bonuses to Government
employees. South Carolina (391) makes it a
misdemeanor to violate the law requiring separa-
tion of the races in factories.
INSURANCE.
Louisiana (No. 76) provides that life companies
organized on the stock plan under Louisiana law
may provide in their charters for participation of
uolicy holders in the election of the company's
directors. This right once granted to policy
holders may be extended but not cm-tailed. Louis-
iana {■■No. 240) limits industrial life insiu-ance to
that in which dues are payable at stated periods
not exceeding one calendar month.
Massachusetts (12) authorizes substitution of
in.soection by a comi>etent person for medical ex-
amination in the case of group insurance on the
lives of not less than 100 employees.
(New York (360) increases the amount of new
busnn«ss which may be written by life companies.
Generally this increase is 5 per cent, of the
total amount of insmance in force in the preced-
ing year. It is also provided that in determining
the amount of new insurance. Rroup insurance,
covering groups of not less than lOO lives in the
employ of the siame person, shall be excluded.
New Y'ork (119) chanees from V2 to Vt of 1
per cent, the amount by which the contingency
reserve of domestic life insurance companies shall
decrease for each additional $5,000,000 over $20,-
000,000 of net value of policies; and provides
that if ue(t values exceed SSO.OOO.OCO the contin-
gency reserve shall not exceed 7% per cent. New
York (120) amends the limitation of life insur-
ance companies' expenses by providing that com-
panies which have changed from stock to mutual
or from non-participating to participating may
incur 6Xi>enses in addition to the general limita-
tion not to exceed 6 per cent, of aggregate net
pneimiuina. This takes tlhe place oif previoiua
authorization of excess expense for such compan-
ies not greater than the excess of 25 per cent,
of net premiums ovea' loadings collected on busi-
ness prior to the date of the change. This amend-
ment also provides that no mutual company shall
issue after June 30. 1916. any life or endowment
policy other than group insurance or reinsurance
on which the premium loading is less than would
enable tlhe company to comply with the provisions
limiting total expenses, if the premium loading
of all its policies were calculated according to the
rule (employed by the company for calculatmg the
loading of such policy.
New York (121) extends for five years, from De-
cember 31. I9l6. the time within wliich domestic
life companies must dispose of stocks other tlwn
those of municioal corporations and of bonds not
secured by adequate collateral.
Massachusetts (47) forbids, after Januarys' 1, 1917,
life or endowment ixjlicies (except industrial poli-
cies) providing for loans or surrender values imless
the company is authorized to defer such loans
(except when they are for the purpose of paying
premiums and surrender value) for not exceeding
90 days from application.
Virginia (165) provides that premiimis paid on
life insiu-ance taken by a borrower as additional
security for a loan by an insurance company om
mortgage or other security s-hall not be considered
as intei-est on loan, and shall not render the loan
usm-ious.
New York (393) provides that dividends on ex-
pired policies of mutual employers' liability and
workmen's compensation companies shall not be
distributed until approved by the Superintendent
of Insurance. This act also requires foreign
mutuals authorized to write this business to
maintain a surplus, over liabilities including un-
earned premimns and loss reserves, of $100,000.
under penalty of revocation of such company a
authorization to do business in the State. Louis-
iana (No. 88) exoressly exempts dividends on life
policies from liability foi' debts.
Maryland (254) nrohibits insurance companies
or their agents :'s.9uing or circulating statements
misrepresenting terms of policies or benefits there-
nndffl:. Life, health and accident conn>anies and
theh- agents are forbidden to make any misrepre-
sentation to induce the taking out or surrendeir
of a policy. This act also declares that agents
of industrial companies shall not be deemed the
owner of the pciiodic ''debit" collected by them
Review of Legislation of 1916 — Continued.
343
and forbids such agents to sell "or in any manner
switch" such debit without the company's consent.
Massachusetts (2E) provides that accident in-
surance policies may. at the oirtion of the in-
•sured. provide tliat benefits for death or disabilit.y
fihall be payable in instalments. In such case thJe
policy is to contain the total sum. the noimber.
amount and time of payment and the time, not
exceeding 60 days, from proof of fii-st payment.
Louisiana (No. 227) add.s to the tew requiring
life ixilicifs to contain the entire contract a
provision tliat no statememt not endorsed or at-
tached to the policy when issued shall be used in
defence of a claim imleas contain-ed in a \mtten
application, and unless q copy of such statement
be fndorsfd or attaclved to the policy when issued.
MassacQiusetts (150) adds to the standard fire
policy pi-ovi.sion that limitation of action there-
imdcT to two years after loss sihall not apply if
within that time the losi is referred to arbitration,
in which case the limitation shall be 90 dai's after
awaixl or waiver of awai-d. or. if action be enjoined
or atietted. one year after dissolution of injunc-
tion. Virginia (90) provides that suicide or legal
execution shall not be a defence to a life policy
iss'ued to a resident or otherwise siibject to the
laws of the State imless the policy contains ex-
press limitations to the contrao'. This applies
to policies issued before the act takes effect if
the language thereof is "sufficiently comprehen-
sive" to cover death by suicide or execution. This
act cannot be avoided by providing that the policv
shall be construed according to the laws of some
other place. If. however, it be shovni that at
the time of taking out the policy the insm-ed in-
tended suicide there shall be no recovery for
such suicide.
Maryland (275) nxakes fraudulent certificates of
death, sickness, etc.. by insured persons a mis-
demeanor.
Kentucky (55) provides for tJhe reorganization of
co-0)jerative or assessment life and casualty com-
panies, and their reincorporation as mutual or
stock companies.
Kentucky (56) proTid«3 that life and casualty
companies organizpd on the assessment or co-
Dperotive plan shall not commence business until
a gitarantee fund of Si CO. 000 for the j)rotection
of the oomi>any's members has been raised and
deposited Tiith the State Treasury: regulates (28)
assessment and co-operative fire companies.
New Jersey (127) authorizes county officers to
establish fire insurance funds for coamty property.
to be administered by a committee of the county
officers. Insurance may be placed with com-
panies when the officeiis deem it desirable. Ken-
tucky (5S) provides for the establishment of school
property insurance funds by Boards of Kducation
in second class cities. South Carolina (No. 373)
reciuires all school buildings, except those which
are not of brick or conoi'ete construction and .hav-
ing an insurable value of less than $300. to be
kept insured. Tlie non-brick or concrete buildings
must be insured in "reliable old line insurance
companies." Other buildings are to be insured 45
per cent, in the State Insurance Department and
55 per cent, in the companies. Provision is made
for increase in the percentage of insurance to be
carried by the State department as its assets in-
oi'ease.
Mississippi (205) forbids placing of insurance on
pereons or property except in the case of the
policies of life oom'>anie8. until the risk has been
approved by a resident local agent. The local
agent is renuired to coimtersign policies subject to
this law, which states that its purnose is that
the State may receive the tax on premiums. The
law does not apulv to recipd'ocal indemnification
contracts; and it d'eclai-es that it is not intended
to "direct" insurance covering rolling stock of
railroads or property in transit in the possession
of common carriers. It is probable that the
word "direct" is an error for "affect." A sim-
ilar act in Louisiana (No. 218) does not apnly.
Maryland (255) prescribes qualifications for in-
surance agents and authorizes the Commissioner
on notice and hearing to revoke an agent's license
for riolation of law. misrepresentation or unjust
dealing: and (257) nrorides for the licensing of
hnokere' solicitors.
. Soufih Carolina (No. 372) provides for the
Uceinsing of insuxance brokers, who are defined
to be persons who ''represent citizens of tihiB
State for the placing of insurance in insuiera
licensed in the State or in any other State or
country."
South Carolina (No. 371) forbids combinations
of fire companies or theiir agents for the purpose
of controlling rates, Violation of the act is
pemalized by revocation of the company's license
to do business in the State, and no new license
raav be gi-anted to such company for three years.
Kentuckj' (19) creates a State Ineiirance Board
of which the Insurance Conmaissioni^r is Secre-
tairy to superv.ise fii'e insurance ratea and rate-
mnking bureaus. Tlie act forbids any xmauthor-
ized company to issue am insiu-amce policy on any
property in «he State. It forbids any company
issuing any policy except through agents licensed
by the Insurance Oommiissioncir. E«ry fire com-
pany is required to be a member of or maintain
a raiting buieau.
This act provides for the organization of mutual
insurance companies foT specified kinds of insur-
ance. Life and fire iusiuance are not included;
but disability insurance and worlno'en's compensa-
tion insurance are included. Prorisiom is made
for the aximission of foreign mutuals to engage in
tlie same lines of insru-ance.
The act also aiuthorizes individual ox associateii
'"underwriters" to engage in insurance (except life
insurance) on the Lloyd's plan.
Mississiijpi (200) repoals Section 18 of Chapter
171 of the laws of 1912 relating to mutual fire
companies. Tliis section made notes of the in-
sured for premiums find assessments a lien on the
property insured and the land on -which it waa

company's stock until tflie Coimmissione'r has been
furniahed pairticulars as to the methods and pro-
posed cost of promoition and until salesman, aftei
investigation of his recoixi, has been licensed.
New York (13) provides for the onganization of
mutual automobile casualty insurance companies
with lX)wer to insme against accident, theft and
otlier Josses excerpt loss by fire ae iransportaticm ;
and (14) forr the organization of mutual automo-
bile fire insurance companies with power to insure
against various losses, including theft but exclud-
ing pei-sonal injurie.'!. Both of those acts author-
ize certificates to foreign mutual companies. Mas-

biu-glary companies to insure in one conti-act banks
and brokers against loss of notes, securities, docu-
ments and money, except loss in transportation,
Kentucky (2S) regulates assessment and co-opex-
atn'e fire companies.
Ma.ssaahusetts (200) provides that mutual liabil-
ity companies, with. Ina^irance Commissioner's ap-
proval, may exercise rights and privileges in rela-
tion to workmen's compem.^ation business which are
by law vested in the Afassactiusetfis Employees'
Insurance -'V&sociation. and that such association,
with the Oonimissi oner's ap'^roral, may exercise in
or outside the State the privileges vested in do-
mestic mutuals under general laws and be subject
to laws ''now or (hereafter in force" relating £<)
Eiuch mutuals.
. New Jersey (87). amending existing law, author-
izes insurance companies to do the following ad-
ditional business: (1) damage to automobiles or
to property resulting from their operation: (2)
health onsuranoe. including not exceeding $100 fu-

Mississippi (203) provides that the tax on gross
premiums of life companies shall not be less tliain
an amount equal to one and thxee-iourths per
cent, of gross yi'emiums on business done in the
State durius the y&as.
New Jersey (224) requires foreign . insurance
oompamies (other than life) in oheiT annual
statements to report premiums received and paid
by them for re-msurance, and the total of re-
insuii'ajice premiums is to be deducted from gross

amply secured and not in default of interest.
New York (590) provides that the Superin-
tendent of Insurance may. on application of a
domestic company desiring to do business in an-
other State, issue a certificate that similar com-
panies of that State may be permitted to do
business in >New York. Tlhis act is limited to

BANKS AND BANKING.
Oonsress (No. 15S) provides a rui-al credit sys-
tem whidh IS more fully described under ' Agri-
culture.''
(Congress (No. 75) amended the Clayton act by
authonziiig officers, directoi-s or employees of
member banks, or Class A directoi-s of reserve
banks with the consent of^the Federal Reserve
Board, to become officers, directors or employees
of not more than two other banks, banking as-
sociations or ti-ust companies organized under
United States or State laws and not in sub-
stantial competition" with the member bank.
Congi'ess (No. 81) amends the Postal Savings
act by increasing the interest-bearing deposits of
an individual from $500 to $1,000. by permitting
t!he acceptance of an additional $1,000 without
interest and by removing the Umitation of $100
a month on an individual's deposit. .Member
" anks of the Federal Reser^-e system are , given
refei-ence as depositors. A j^ortion of t'hos act
; obviously intended as an amendment to . Sec-
ion 9 of the original act, but does not say so, and
3r that reason its provisions which depend on
he original act bttt refer to this act, majf be
leffective. , . ,
Oongi-ess (No. 90) raises from ou'e-third to two-
hiiKls of the total amount of gold certificates
■eld by the Treasm? at any lime, the limit in
mount of gold certificates of not less than $1,000
ssued on deixisits of gold bullion.
Rhode Island (1389) increases the cnminal pen-
Ity for fraudulent checks on banks in which the
j.-awer has not sufficient funds and makes the
ssuance of tJie check prima facie evidence of
ntent to defratid in those cases in which the
trawer fails to deposit sufficient funds to meet
he check within soveai days after he receives
lotice of tllie bank's a-efusal to pay. Mississu>pi
120) prohibits checks if drawer has insufficient
funds under penalty of punishment as for a mis-
demeanor if the amount is less than $25 and
for a felony if tliat amount or over.
Looiisiana (No. 22) makes cases of embezzlement
by check or draft triable in the county where
tlie ciheck was di-awn. no matter where it is made
payable, and in addition makes the case triable
either m that county or in the county in the^
State in which the check may be made payable.
New Jei-sey (123) provides bliat checks or drafts
shall be paid by the drawee, notwitlistanding the
death of the drawer between the times of drawing
and presentation, provided preseatation be made'
witlun lO days after date.
Louisiana (No. 85) pi-ovides that banking as-
sociations, savings banks and trust comiJanies may
send for collection checks, drafts, etc., directly
to the bank on w.hich they are diami and the
latter bank's faii'ure to account for the proceeds,
through insolvency or othcriviise. shall not render
the foiwarding bank liable.
New York (363) authorizes savings banks to in-
vest in' promissoi-y notes of savings and loan as-
sociations and in bonds of the State Land Bank;
and (164) makes 60-day withdi-awal notices in-
effective if witlidrawal is not made within 15 days
after expiration of such 60-day period.
Rhode Island (1359) levies a tax on interest-
bearing deposits in national banks and authorizes
the banks to pay the tax and deduct it from
interest. The Tax Commissioners are authorized
to publish in the newspai>ers the names of the
banks which pay the tax or the names of those
banks which do not pay it. Evidently the pur-
]50se is to induce the banks to deduct and pay
the tax.
Massachusetts (26) gives the Bank Commis-
sioner the same power over savings and loan as-
sociations as ovei- savings banks, and authorizes
examination of such associations at their expense.
Mississippi (207) amends the Bank Deposit Guar-
antee Ian-.
Massachusetts (129) authorizes domestic trus'B
compauies to accept future drafts and bills of
exchange and to issue letters of credit to an
amount not exceeding one-half paid-up capital and
surplus without the approval of the Bank Com-
missioner, and not exceeding such capital and
suriJlus with such approval. Virginia (298) au-
thorizes tanks and trust companies to accept
drafts and issue letters of credit not exceeding for
any one person 10 per cent, of capital and suriJlus.
New York (247) authorizes investment com-
panies to advonice money on bonds and notes
ov.ned. issued or guaranteed by them, and to pur-
chase and pledge the same to secm-e payment of
collateral trust bonds and notes and to sell and
negotiate such, trust bonds and notes.
New Jersey (llo) gives to banks and trust com-
panies for the purpose of liquidating loans of
reoid'ent or non-reaident decedents seemed "by se-
curities assigned in blank the same authority as
legal repi-esentative to have such securities ti'ans-
f erred.
Virginia (83) authorizes bankers and brokers to
require in advance a minimum discount fee on a
negotiable paper of 50 cents on loans ,of 30 days
or more.
New York (96) provides that only those banks
and tinist com'ianies which do not have imim-
paired surplus equal to 20 per cent, of capital
need lepmt their dividend declarations. Ken-
tucky (74) proliibits bank or trust company div-
idends until surplus equals 10 per cent, of cap-
ital, and req-uii'es 10 per cent, of net profits for
the dividend period to be carried to surplus un/tii
surijlus equals 20 per cent, of capital.
Massachusetts (175) regulates deposits witlh pri-
vate bankers and their investment.
Mississippi (136) regtilates interest on instalment
loans and provides tliat the loan contract may
contain a provision that in case the borrower pays
before maturity or breaks any of his covenants, in-
terest, otherwise limited to 5 per cent, per annum,
may be cOiarged at the rat© of 110 per oent. per
annum.

DOMESTIC RELATIONS.
Maryland (577) makes marriages in otiher States
in violation of tihe Jlaryland law void. New
York (605) provideji for the anrtulment of mar-
riages where one or both of the parties had not
attained the age under which consent of parent
or guardian is requii-ed by the laws of the Stats
where tine marriage was contracted.
New York (482) makes it a misdemeanor for
a person having a husl>and or wife living to take
out a license to marry anotlher.
Louisiana ('No. 31) asks Congress to submit an
amendment to the Fedea-al Constitution prohibit-
ing pob-gamy.
New Jersey (63) requires petitions for annul-
fnemt of marriages to be accompanied by peti-
tionei-'s affidavit that there is no oollusiou in the
application. Thereafter the procedure is to be
the same as that in divorce, the purpose of the
act being "to make uniform the practice amd pro-
cedure in all cases of annulment of marriages."
and (57) authorizes the defendant in divorce suit
to file counter-suit against the plaintiff. Virginia
(61) adds to the grounds of absolute divorce sen-
tence to a State penitentiary where cohabitation
has not been resumed. Pardon granted not 'to
restore conjugal rights.
Louisiana (No. 269) authorizes absolute divorce
on proof of continoious living apart for a peiiod
of seven years.
Louisiana (No. 247) e.xpressly provides that ali-
mony shall be payable from earnings'" as weE
as from "property" of the husband.
Virginia (417) declares that father end mother
are equally entitled, to cxistody. services and earn-
ings of legitimate children, bxit in determining
controvei'sies the courts are to be guided by tlie
welfare of the child.
Louisiana (No. 139) makes it a misdemeanor
for parents or other persons having custody and
control of childa-en under i7 to abuse or neglect
such child or to permit, through careless control,
Buoh child to become delinquent imder the laws
of the State.
Kew York (196) extends to wrong done imder
pretence of fraudulent representation of marriagie
tbe i>enalty for ^vrong under promise of marriage.
Louisiana (No. 94) pi-ovides that a married
woman may contract and oblige herself person-
ally and with reference to her separate ajid
paraphernal i)roperty. that she may appear in
court, sue and be sued in tlie same manner as
though a femme sole: but this act is not to affect
fihe existing laws regulating community property
and prescribing what shall bo deemed community
and what separate property of husband and wife.
PROPERTY AND DECEDENTS' ESTATES.
In one of the most important statutes of recent
years affecting the law of real property, Massa-
chusetts (108) provides that a contingent re-
mainder shall take effect, "notwithstanding any
determination of the particular estate, in the
satne manner in wliich it would have taken effect
if it had been an executory device or a springing
or shifting use. and shaJl. as well as such limita-
tions, be subject to the rule respecting remoteness
known as the rule against perpetxiities, exclusive
of any other supiiosed rule respecting limitations
to successive generations or double possibilities."
The act removes the technioal i-ute of feudal
law, that a remainder fails if it does not vest
on or beifore the teiinination of the particular
estaite because theaie is no seisin to support it,
and siibjecita all remainders to the rule agaiiLst
perpetuities. While ijt is true that the statute
merely emaots the Massachusetits rule against per-
petuities, the rute of reaaloteness of vesting, and
declares that this rule ai>plies to every future
interest in property, nevertheless, it is of vital
interest because it is a legislative recognition
that the rule is one of i-emotencHS. Prof. Gray
contended tliat tiie only test of a, perpetuity is
tliiat of i-emoteness of vesting, and it lias re-
maiiiied foa* the Lieigislature of his native State
to give the first staitutoay sanction to his theory.
Nlaryland (325) makes the descent of real
propeaty the same as peiBonai property in certain
South Carolina (INo. 3&T) autlioirizea Probate
Judges to accept the resignation of an. eieciitoir
when not injurious to the estate.
Chattel mortgages in New York (348) need not
be filed wliere there is a tnijirtgage, pledge or
lien on stocte or bonds Which by the written
instrument creating the same are to be delivered
to the lender on the dav the loan is made. Such
mortgage, pledge or lien is vaUd against cieditois
it the secui-iities aa-e delivered to tlie mortgagee
on the diay the loan is made. If not bo de-
livered, tlhe instirumenit or a copy must be filed.
Puirobasers. pledgees or miortgagees in good faith
of such bonds or stocks take good title at any
time if there is delivei-y to them, unless the
insLruiment or a copy is filed. Anotlicir amend-
ment to the ,proi>6rty law of New Y-oirk i313)
i>rovides that all i-ents leserved by lease, annu-
ities and other )>aymieiits dnie at fixed periods
shall be apwrtioiied on death or otJier transfer
of the inteo-est of any peison imtarested therein
accoi-ding to the time which has elapsed to and
including tiie dav of such death or transfer.
The person entitfel to the portion of such pay-
ment approved prior to tran.sfer shall have thei
same ri^ht to recover tlie part, apportionwi to
him by this aot as he would have had if en-
titled to the whole: but the oeaison liable to pay
rents resenved s;hall not be refei'red to foir such
apportioned pai-ts, but the enitii>e rent, shall be
collected by the person wilio. but for this law,
v/ould have been enbitted tUioreto. The pei'son
entitled to the apixntioned part shall recover
from the person Who so collects such rents. The
law does not apijly where it is expressly stipu-
lated that no apportioQiment is to be made,
nor to suras payable in policies or insurance or
under annuity contracts issued by life insurance
companies. The law is similar to the presenit
rule resiiectiiig the division of interest. A. third
amendment to the New York property law (3b4)
pa^Dvides that Wheire undisposed of piiwits, pend-
ing soispeuBion of the power of alienation or the
ownership of real estate in consequence of a

FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATION.
Oongi-ess (83) prohibits in the District of Co-
]tjmbia false or 'misleading advertisemen'ts or state-
ment to sell goods, or to indii-ce any peraon or
corporation to purchase, discomit or in any way
invest in or ac<;e)>t as colla.teral security any se-
curities or property. .Massachusetts (149) forbids
any uutnte. clecei)tive or misleading advertisement
intentionally placed before the public in order to
sell any proi)ei-ty. Maryland (655) makes it a
misdemeanor to obtain a credit or rating by false
pretences, or (370) to be instrumental in furnish-
ing a third person suoh rating, or to make a
fai.se statement to obtain property or ci^edit. o<r
(371) for -vendors of goods in bulk to make a
false statement. Virginia (42) and Kentucky (97)
are broad acts punishing imtrue. decentive or
mislieading advertisements of anytliing offered to
tlie public with intent to sell or dispose of it.
Virginia (13) provides that persons wlio. ■with
intent to injure or defraud, enter into written
contracts for persona.1 services in the cultivation
of tlie soil and thereby obtain money or other
thing of value and fraudulently refuse to perform
such .service or refund the money are guilty of
larceny. (280) provides that persons who. vnth
intent to defraud, obtain from licensed meiciianta
goods for Lxamination and approval and refuse
to retuni the same in unused condition, or to
pay therefor, are guilty of lai-eeny. Ttus act,
however, does not apply unless a card or tag
is attached to the goods containing the clause
''delivered for selection or approval." and unless
the reciue.st for r^etiim be made within five days
after delivery. (499) provides that if any person,
corporation, etc.. has devised q scheme to defraud
by tbe sale or distribution of stocks or securitie.s
or real estate, and shall, for the execution of
ithat scheme, commit any overt act in the State
it shall constitute a mtsdeimeanor. The State
Corix)ration Commission is given power to in-
vestigate offers to sell such stock, securities, etc.
New York (367) makes it a misdemeanor, pun-
ishable by fine or Imprisonment, or both, to at-
tempt to operate slot machines or slot telephones
without first depositing the required United. States
coin, or to use any slug or other device in-stead
of such coin. Tbe penal Taw of New York is
further amended (Sfifil so that the crime of .re-
ceiving certain goods stolen from railroad and like
comi^anies is di"vided into two degrees: the first.'
■where the value exceeds $50, and the second

SALES AND MERCANTILE LTOENSIQS.
Maryland (355) provides that conditional sales
iji Baltimore are void unless recoi'ded. Mas=;a^
chn<;etts '"^0) provides for a fine not exceeding
SI 00 to be assessed against others tlian licensed
■peddlers and nexvsoaper dealers who solicit busi-
ness on public sidewallcs in front of any retail
store other than their own, or one in which
they are employed, to induce any person to pur-
chase at retail merchandise similar in kind to any
kept or displayed for sale in such store.
.Maryland (682) e<nacta a new license law for
selling goods and chattels. Massachusetts (242)
amends the law relating to the licensing of ped-
dlers so that "wliolosalcrs or jobbers liaving a
permonent place of business in the State and
selling to dealers only and iiersons selling at
wholesale by sample^ltsts. catalogues or otherwise"
are excepted from its provisions, and bartering is
included with selling.
New York (385). amending the Agricultural law,
provides for the distribution among consignor
creditors of amounts recovered by the (Commis-
sioner on bond.s of commission merchants, such
distribution to be pro rata if flie funds are in-
sufficient to pay in fuU. Virginia (77) requires
commission imerohants to secure a license and to
keep a i-ecord of goods received and sold. Pro-
vision is made for a consignor to obtain a set-
tlemejit of his claim after 30 days by filing a
complaint with the Commissioner of Agriculture,
who shall hold a lieaiing and may revoke the
license and bring action on the bomd to recover
tie moneys for him.
Louisiana (No. 233) forbids commission houses
to combine or agree to keep the market on farm
or forest products or ftsh below the "proper limit
indicated by the supply and demand thereof,'' or
to charife excessive commission rates, or in any
manner to cheat or defraud consignors. Violation
is made a crime punished by 6 to 12 months' im-
prisonment. Louisiana (No. 234) makes all books
and records of commission agents subject to ex-
amination by Conunissioner of Agriculture, the
Attorney-General or amy District Attorney for the
purpose of fineiing evidence of any viiol'ation of law
or improper methods.
Louisiana (Nos. 95 and 275) in order to en-
courage such sales prohibit license taxes on iwo-
ducers' sale? of farm and dairy products direct
to the con.suraer.
Virginia (409) makes sales of goods in bulk void
as to creditors unless its pro^visions as to notice
are complied with.
Kentuclfy (111) defines tbe business of tem-
porary or transient merchant, requires a license
for its conduct and othen^ise regulates it. The
definition includes all merchamts who conduct
b<inlCTupt. fire or other closing out sales, unless
they ha-v« conducted a mercharulise business in
the place where such sale is lield for .at least one
year. Provision is made for permits to be
granted oai application by the county court to
conduct a business \v'liioh would be within the
act without complying with its regulation, pro-
vided the applicant proves that he intends in
good faith to cond^uct the business of a per-
manent merchant.
Louisiana (No. 273) makes -wilful purchase of
junk or second-band property not o^vned or un-
paid for by the seller, a misdemeanor. The pur-
chaser is required to take a signed statement
from the seller that be is the o^Tier and that
the property is paid for. Failure to take this
statement is prima facie evidence of guilty
knowtelge within the meaning of the act. The
purchaser ivho takes the statement is exonerated
from such intenit or knowledge. The act doea
not affect the rights of the real owner of such
property.

NATIONAL AMERICANIZATION COMMITTEE.
The National Americanization Committee Is a
body ol filty-sbc American citizens who believ-e that
Americanization — a deei)er, broader sense of na"
tlonalization — is the need ol the hour, and that it
should be a nation-wide movement in every hamlet
In America. They are dominated solely by the dream
of a United America: no other power or motives
determine their policies, methods or plans, and they
are willing to give their time, thought, effort, and
resources — in money, association, and power- — to the
end that the many races In America may become
one nation in spirit and achievement.
They believe that American-born citizens need
Americanization in Increased respect for the flag,
In renewed allegliince to America. In patriotic use
of holidays, In the discipline and loyalty of citizens'
training camns. In the abolition of race prejudice,
and In the full recognition of foreign-born citizens
as a civic as well as an Industrial factor in American
civilization.
They believe that the foreign born peoples wlthlD
our land owe to America the duties of learning our
national language, of becoming literate, of becoming
naturalized, and of becoming thrifty and efficient
fiitizens and of loyally supporting the best ideals
and traditions, the government and iiMtltutlons of
America, in exchange for the rights America guar-
antees to all residents alike In this country
They believe that American and foreign-born alike
should join hands to assure to each alien within our
borders the opportunity to learn English, become
literate, and to provide facilities for preparation
for citizenship.

FOREIGN LOANS IN THE UNITED STATES.
(From a statement in the WaU Street Journal, October 27, 1916.)
Tlic new Hiii';>i 3300,000,000 loan, the largest obligation of any single country ever brought out here,
Vings the total of our loans to foreign countries since the war started up to nearly two billion dollars.
At the present time we hold unmatured obligations of foreign nations, states, cities, or have advanced
commercial credits abroad, to the amount of approximately 81,910,000,000. As many private credit
arrangements have been made, of which there is no record, the total outstanding indebtedness of foreign
countries to us may be above this figure.
Great Britain, the banlcer for the allies, has been the largest borrower. With her half of the S500,-
000,000 Anglo-French loan, the total of her indebtedness to us is 3850,000,000. France is next, with 3520,-
000,000, Including 3100,000,000 for the latest commercial credit arranged here for French companies, which
has, however, as yet not been drawn on.
Below is the list of foreign loans and credits that have been arranged In this country since the war
started, and are still outstanding. In addition to these, American investors have gone into foreign markets

MONEY VALUE OF HUMAN BEINGS.
(By Irving Fisher, Professor of Political Economy, Yale University.)
The average person living at 20 or 30 years of age has a present worth as a bread-winner of about
$4,000. This is the net present worth of his futitfe productive power over and above the cost of his future
maintenance. In old age the average net worth becomes a minus quantity.
The figures for different ages are given in the following table, based on calculations of Dr. William
Earr, formerly Registrar of Vital Statistics of Great Britain:

In short, a htiman life has, in addition to its higher valuations, a money valuation simply as a money*
making machine. This is really the basis of ordinary life insurance.

ury notes were Issued for purchases of silver bullion, which was coined into dollars wherewith the notes are

FEDERAI. RESERVE BOARD.
Tecb banking and currency law, known as the Federal Reserve Act, was approved December 23, 1913.
Under the system known as the National Banking System, which was Inaugurated at the latter
end of the Civil War, the National banknote currency was based upon Government bonds deposited
In the Treasury, and the currency thus Issued has been classed by economists as bond-secured
currency. This plan was evolved not only to nationalize and unify the currency, which had there-
tofore consisted of notes issued by State banks, but as well to create a market for United States
bonds, and In this way to sustain their value. It was entirely successful for the latter purpose,
but has outworn Its usefulness as a banking system because of Us entire want of elasticity.
The Federal Reserve Act Is the result of a long discussion by statesmen, financiers, economist*
and bankers, and Is a constructive measure based upon and growing out of many bills which have
been Introduced within the past twenty years. Under It twelve cities, known as Federal Reserve
cities, are established, and the (continental) United States Is divided Into twelve geographical dis-
tricts, each district containing one of the reserve cities. The twelve districts and their respective
reserve cities are as follows:
DIst. No. 1..
Boston, Mass.
Dlst. No. 5..
Richmond, Va.

Every National bank Is required to become a stockholder Jto the Federal Reserve bank of the
district In which It Is situated, and any State bank or trust cffltnpany which complies with certali
specified requirements Is permitted to become a member bank. There are at the present tlrr
7,598 National banks in the United States which have th"us been required to become member banks. Tb'
eight State banks are also members.
The largest district, In respect to number of member banks — the seventh or Chicago ^
has 993 member banks. The smallest district — the sUth or Atlanta district — has 390 member bai
Each member bank Is required to subscribe to the stock of the Federal Reserve bank
district In the amount equal to 6 per centum of its paid-up capital stock and surplus. The Fea,
Reserve bank does not do business with the public In the sense that banks usually do; It may bett^
be described as a bank of banks. It Is made a depositary for a certain proportion of the reserve ol
all the member banks, and In addition may also be a depositary for Government funds. An Im-
portant function Is as a bank of Issue and redemption o> currency, for It may secure from the Treasury
Government notes known as Federal Reserve notes, which 't Is authorized to issue against commercial
paper with a minimum gold reserve of 40 per centum. Besides this. Federal Reserve banks are
granted certain powers in the matter of operations In the open market, such as the purchase of
commercial paper, foreign exchange, etc., and In a general way are expected to perform Important
lunctlons as clearing houses between their member banks.
Each Federal Reserve bank has nine directors, three of whom represent the member banks,
three represent commercial, agricultural or other Industrial pursuit (these six being chosen by the
member banks), and finally three Government directors chosen by the Federal Reserve Board.
These nine directors are charged with the duty of appointing all necessary officers. Including the
active manager of the bank, who is designated as its Governor.
Under the act the whole system Is under the supervision of a central board In Washington,
known as the Federal Reserve Board, consisting of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller
of the Currency acting ex-ofilcio, and five members named by the President with the approval oJ
the Senate. The five members and the expirations of their terms are as follows:
W. P. G. Harding, Governor, August 10, 1922; Paul M. Warburg, Vice-Governor, August 10, 1918;
Charles S. Hamlin, August 10, 1926; Frederic A. Delano, August 10, 1920; A. C. Miller, August 10, 1924.
The salary of the members of this board Is 812,000 per annum each, which salaries, together
with all other expenses of operating the system, are assessed against the Federal Reserve banks
In proportion to their capital stock and surplus. Secretary to the board, H. Parker Wl!"a: Assistant
Secretary and Fiscal Agent. Sherman Allen. Headquarters, Washington, D. C.

Constancy of Employment of Wage-Earners.
UNITED STATES EMPLOYMENT OFFICES.
The Department of Labor, through the Division of Information of the Bureau of Immigration, has
established Distribution Branches throughout the country for the purpose on the one hand of devel-
oping the welfare of the wage-earners of the United States and improving their opportunities for profit-
able employment, and on the other hand of affording to employers a method whereby they may make ap-
plication for such help as they need, either male or female, citizens or alien residents, and have their wants
supplied through said Distribution Branches. No fee Is charged employer or employe for this service.
Manufacturers, contractors, farmers, and, in fact, all employers of labor, may now utilize the Govern-
ment machinery to supply their wants in this direction.
The country has been divided into twenty zones, thus bringing the distributing points near to the
places where help is needed. The applications for laborers of all kinds and the applications for employment
are cleared through one office in each zone. Many of these liead offices have sub-branches under their juria-
diction.
Applications for workers should be addressed to the Distribution Branch, Immigration Service, in th»
city named in this list as the headquarters of the zone in which the help is required.

All of the postmasters throughout the United States are co-operating in this work by distributing ap-
plication blanks both to employers and employes. The appropriate blanks may, therefore, be had on re-
'est to any postmaster. However, in those cities designated as zone headquarters, application for blanks
"nformatlon should be made direct to the Inspector-in- Charge of the Distribution Branch at the office of
,».. Immigration Service at the address indicated in the foregoing table.
The present system of distribution has only been in operation since the flrst of February, 1915. The
number of applications for positions during the five months (February 1 to June 30, 1915) was 76,503. The
number directed to employment during the same lieriod was 10,916. For the fiscal year July 1, 1915, to
June 30, 1916, the number of applications for positions was 184,481. The number directed to employment
fluring the same period was 84.955.
CONSTANCY OF EMPLOYMENT OF WAGE-EARNERS.
The Federal Census of Manufactures of 1914 shows that the average number of wage-earners employed
^ all manufacturing industries during that year was 7,037,336. The largest number, 7,242,752, was em-
ployed in March and the smallest number, 6,640,284, in December, equal to 91.7 oer cent, of the maximi'm.
The statistics are embraced in the following tables.

PUGILISTIC CHAMPIONS AND RECEIPTS.
All attempts to designate and classify the pugilistic champions and title holders are more or lesa
.vbltrary because of the fact that few such champions won and defended the championships at the same
■eight. Among the lighter weight boxers it is not at ail unusual for a pugilist to be forced from one cla&<>
ito the next higher by growth and increa-sed weight. The following list, dating from 1890, is •Generally
■-cepted by critics and boxers as being the correct clasaiflcatlon, although holders did not always win tltlQ'
om previous champions:

AVIATION.
The European war completely paralyzed competitive aviation, aeroplanes being commandeered for
military purposes and aviators pressed into army service, and there were no records accepted by the I. A. F.
during 1915 or 1916. (For all International Aviation Federation records, etc., see 1915 and 1916 Almanacs.)

to $250,000, from a donor, whose name was withheld, for the erection and completion on University Heights,
New York City, of a building to be called "The Hall of Fame for Great Americans." A structure was built
In the form of a terrace with superimposed colonnade connecting the University Hall of Philosophy with
the Hall of Languages. On the ground floor is a museum 200 feet long by 40 feet wide, consisting of a cor-
ridor and six halls to contain mementoes of the names that are inscribed above. The colonnade over this
Is 600 feet long with provision for 150 panels, each about 2 feet by 6 feet, each to bear the name of a famous
American.
Only persons who shall have been dead ten or more years are eligible to be chosen. Fifteen classes of
citlzeas were recommended for consideration, to wit: Authors and editors, business men, educators. Inventors,
missionaries and explorers, iJhilanthropists and reformers, preachers and thcologl.ans, scientists, engineers
and architects, lawyers and judges, musicians, painters and sculptors, physicians and surgeons, rulers and
statesmen, soldiers and sailors, distinguished men and women outside the above classes. Fifty names were
to be inscribed on the tablets at the beginning, and five additional names every fifth year thereafter, until
the year 2000, when the 150 inscriptions will be completed, lu case of failure to (ill all the panels allotted,
the vacancies are to be filled in a following year.
In February, 1904, the plan was announced>of a Hall of Fame tor Women near the former, with places
for 50 tablets. Its foundation has been begun.
The rules prescribed that the council should invite nominations from the public. Every nomination
seconded by a member of the University Senate should be submitted to an electorate of one hundred emi-
nent citizens selected by the council. Chancellor Emeritus MacCracken presides In the Senate when the
Hall of Fame is considered. Address University Heights, New York City.
In October, 1900. the University Senate received the ballots of the electors. Of the one hundred Judges
selected ninety-seven voted. The number of names which had been submitted to them was 252. Of these
each judge returned a vote for fifty. The rule required that no candidate receiving less than fifty-one votes
could be accepted. The returns showed that but twenty-nine candidates received the required number
and were chosen. These were as follows; George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. Daniel Webster, Ben-
jamin Franklin, Ulysses S. Grant, John Marshall, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry W.
Longfellow, Robert Fulton, Washington Irving, Jonathan Edwards, Samuel F. B. Morse, David G. Far-
ragut, Henry Clay, Nathaniel Hawthorne, George Peabody, Robert E. Lee, Peter Cooper, Ell Whitney,
John J. Audubon, Horace Mann, Henry Ward Beecher, James Kent, Joseph Story, John Adams, William
E. Channlng, Gilbert Stuart and Asa Gray.
-In October, 1905, under the rules named above, the Senate received the ballots of 95 electors out of
101 appointed, of whom only 85 undertook to consider the names of women. A majority of 51 was demanded,
but i-n the case of the names of women, a majority of only 47. The following per-sons were found tp be duly
chosen: John Quincy Adams, 59; James Russell Lowell, 58; William Tecumseh Sherman, 58; James Madi-
son, 56; John Greenleaf Whittler, 53; Mary Lyon, 58; Emma Willard, 50, and Maria Mitchell, 48.'-
The hall was dedicated May 30, 1901, when twenty-flve'or raoreNational associations each "unveiled
one of the bronze tablets In the colonnade, and on May 30, 1907, eleven new tablets were unveiled, oratlona
being given by the Governors of New York and Massachusetts.
In October, 1910, the next ballot was taken, the number cast being 97 and the number required for a
choice being 51. The following persons had the requisite number of votes: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 74;
Oliver Wendell Holmes, 69; Edgar Allan Poe, 69; James Fenimore Cooper, 62; Phillips Brook-s, CO; William
CuUen Bryant, 59; Frances E. Willard, 56; Andrew Jackson, 53, George Bancroft, 63; John Lothrop Mot-
ley, 51. There were 211 nominees.
The fourth quinquennial election In 1915 secured the ballots of ninety-seven electors, three electors
having died within the year, nine names were admitted, viz., Alexander Hamilton, 70 votes: Mark Hop-
kins, 69; Francis Parkman, 68: Ellas Howe, 61; Joseph Henry, 56; Rufus Choatc. 52; Daniel Boone, 52;
with one woman, Charlotte Cushman, 53. Of these Hamilton and Agassiz had been elected In }905 to the
separate hall proposed for famous foreign-born Americans. When the Constitution waa amended in 1914,
to do away with the line of discrimination between native-born and foreign-born. It was required that the
four foreign-born, already chosen, be re-elected In competition with the jiatlve-born put in nomination.
The two above named were approved, while John Paul Jones and Roger Williams lacked a majority, but
remain in nomination for the year 1920. The total names admitted In the four quinquennial elections
la 50 men and 6 women. The tall has recently received S27i000 toward Its completion and S10,000 to-
ward its endowment.

THE WORLD'S COURT LEAGUE.
For the purpose ot securing concerted action to establish an International Court of Justice.
Platform — We believe It to be desirable that a
league among nations should be organized for the
following purposes:
1 A World court, in general similar to the Court
of Arbitral Justice, already agreed upon at the Sec-
ond Hague Conference, should be, as soon as pos-
sible, established as an international cotjrt of Justice,
representing the nations of the world, and, subject
to the limitations ot treaties, emoowered to assume
jurisdiction over international questions In dispute
that are Justiciable in character, and that are not
settled by nejotiation.
2 All other international controversies not set-
tled by negotiation should be referred to the Perma-
nent Court of Arbitration at The Hague, or submit-
ted to a council of conciliation, or International
Commission of Inquiry, for hearing, consideration
and recommendation.
3 Soon after peace Is declared there should be
held either "a conference of all great governments,"
as described in the United States Naval Appropri-
ation Act ot 1916, or a similar assembly, formally
designated as the Third Hague Conference, and the
sessions of such International conferences should be-
come permanently periodic at shorter Intervals than
lormerly. ., ,.,
Such conference or conferences should
(a) Formulate and adopt plans tor the estab-
lishment ot a World Court and an International
Council of Conciliation, and
(b) From time to time formulate and codify
rules of international law, which, unless some con-
stituent State shall signify Its disseat within a
stated period, shall govern In the decisions of the
World Court.
4. In connection with the establishment ot auto-
matically periodic sessions of an international con-
ference the constituent governments should estab-
lish a permanent continuation committee ot the con-
ference, with such administrative powers as may be
delegated to it by the conference.
The organization of an International court of Jus-
tice with the necessary attendant institutional ma/-
chinery, sustained by a strong public opinion. Is the
irreducible minimum in the demands of all workers
for peace with justice. Hence the league stands tor
common ground upon which all such workers caa
meet and co-operate. Offlcial organ, 2'he World
Court, published monthly.

UNITED STATES RI18LITARY ACAOERjIY AT WEST POINT.
Each Senator, Congressional District, and Territory, including Porto Rico, Alaska, and Hawaii, l9
entitled to have two cadets at the academy; the District of Columbia, Jour cadets. There are also
eighty appointments at large, specially conferred by the President of the United States. The law (act of
May 4. 1916) authorizes the President to appoint cadets to the United States Military Academy from
among enlisted men in the regular army and National Guard, the total number not to exceed one hundred
and eighty at any one time.
Annual Increments — States at large, 21; Congressional Districts, 92; Ala.ska, District of Columbia,
Hawaii and Porto Rico, combined, 1 each year to the source longest without an appointment, and when
the periods are equal the choice to be by lot; honor schools, 5; regular army, 23 in 1916. 22 in 1917, 23 in
1918, and 22 in 1919; National Guard, 22 in 1916, 23 in 1917. 22 in I9I8, and 23 in 1919.
Appointments are usually made one year in advance of da,te of admission, by the Secretary of War. upon
the nomination of the Senator or Representative. These nominations may either be rnude after competitive
examination or given direct, at the option of the Representative. The Representative may nominate two
legally qualified second candidates, to be designated first and second alternates. The alternates will receive
from the War Department a letter of appointment, and will be examined with the regular appointee, and
the better qualified will be admitted to the academy in the event of the failure of the principal to pass the
prescribed preliminary examinations. Appointees to the Military Academy must be between seventeen
and twenty-two years of age. free from any infirmity which may render them unfit for military service,
and able to pass, unless a satisfactory cerriflcate is submitted, a careful examination in English grammar,
English composition, English literature, algebra through quadratic equations, plane geometry, descriptive
peograppy and tbe elements of physical geography, especially the geography of the United States, United
States history, the outlines of general history. The Secretary of War is authorized to permit not exceeding
four Filipinos, to be designated, one for each class, by the Governor- General of the Philippine Islands, to
receive instruction at the United States Military Acade-my at West Point; Provided, That the Filipinoa
undergoing instruction shall receive the same pay, allowances, and emoluments as are authorized by lawr
for cadets at the Military Acadeny appointed from the United States, to be paid out of the same appro-
priations; And prooided further, That said Filipinos undergoing instruction on graduation shall be eligible
only to commissions in the Philippine Scouts; serve for eight years, unless sooner discharged.
The course of instruction, which Is quite thorough, requires lour years, and is largely mathematical
and prolpssional. The principal subjects taught are mathematics, Englisli, French, drawing, drill regula-
tions of all arms of the service, natural and experimental philosophy, chemistry, chemical ph^ sics, mineralogy,
geology, electricity, hisrory, international, constitutional, and military law, Spanish, civil and military
engineering, art and scieace of war, and ordnance and gunnery. About one-fourth of those appointed
usually faU to pass the preliminary examinations, and but little over one-half the remainder are finally
graduated. The discipline is very strict — even more so than In the army — and the enforcement of penalties
for offences is iniexible rather than severe. Academic duties begin September 1 and continue until June 4.
Examinations lor cadets not having made satisfactory progress in studies are held in each December and June,
and cadets found proficient in studies and correct In conduct are given the particular standing in their class
to which their merits entitle them.
From about the middle of June to the end of August cadets live In camp, engaged only In military
flutles and receiving practical military instruction. Cadets are allowed but one leave of absence during
the four years' course, and this is granted at the expiration of the first two years. The pay of a cadet la
$709.50 per year, and, with proper economy. Is sufficient for his support.
Upon graduating, cadets are commissioned as Second Lieutenants In the United States Army. The
whole number of graduated from 1802 to 1916, inclusive, has been .5,601. It is virtually absolutely neces-
sary for a person seeking an appointment to apply to his Senator or Member of Congress. The Superin-
tendent is Colonel John Biddle, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., and the military and academic stafl conslsta
ol 136 persons.

Aeronautics in the United States.
AERONAUTICS |N THE UNITED STATES.
The Driited S-tatee is one of the most backward
world powers in the development of aviation.
Aircraft of every desiKU aud for eveiy piupose is
in use abroad, and the aeronautic service of any
one of the European bellifferents is said to be
ten times tbe strength the United States will
have when machines now under order are de-
livered. The United States has been using only
reconnaissance and traiuinK tvpe craft. Three
new t,vp€s. puisuit. bomb dropping and scout
models, are being developed. One dirigible bal-
loon is in service in the Navy, and captive and
mierating balloons are beiiiK constructed. The last
Conei-ess appropriated $17,457,660 for current
maintenance of military aviation and permanent
increases in aeronautic ,'>trength. This is divided
$13,881 666 for tlie ^nation Section of the Signal
Corps of the Armv. $3,500,000 for the Naval Fly-
Ins Corp,s. $76,000 for special traininu of National
Guardsmen.
The total flying strength of the United States,
including aircraft now in service and that under
order for delivery e,wly in 191". is 522 planes,
balloons and dirieibles. Thei m<n authorized to
be utilized for aviation under the National £)eien=e
Act are 2,02S. being liS officers and 1.200 en-
listed men from the Amiy. and 150 officers and
350 enlisted men from the Navy. This also in-
cludes) 30 acting en.signs and 150 student flyers
to be appointed respectively to the Navy and
Army from civil life. Provision for an Aviatio_n
Section Signal Reserve Ooros lias also been maae
to consist of 296 reserve officera and 2.000 en-
liatedl reserves from the Anny. There are three
training schools, and as manv of these as con-
si.stent with available facilities will be instructed.
An effort to encourage tlie aeroplane manufactiu--
ing industry in this country and to standardize
types is being made by the Army. Clontracts
aire let to all companies bidding who can construct
leauired desians at reasonable figures, and the
Government is willing to buv faster than the con-
tractors can build the p'anes. There is no of-
ficial aeroplane model in this country, though
the Curtiss machine is more common in the
Army. A special committee of the Army General
Staff was appointed last S.pring to look generallj'
into Army aviation with a view to reorganizing
the service. Its recommend'ations were made and
the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, in its
present status, resulted from its work. The ef-
forts of that committee are now of a passive and
advisory nature. There is a National -AdvKory
Committee on .\eronautics. composed of flying and
construction experts from the Army and Navy
and prominent engineers from civil life. The
Technical Aero Advisory and Inspection Com-
mittee composed of five officei-s of the .Wiation
Section is the efficient organization directing the
develoioment of .^rmy Aeronautics. The develop-
ment of naval aviation is handled by the Bureaus
of Operation and Construction and Repair. (The
iS'aval Fl\in< Cohm those men engaged in de-
velopment of naval aviation, may have an official

(a) Figures to the nearest dollar. The base pay in all armies is increased for length of service
by percentages similar In all. Ip European armies offlcers receive extensive allowances in addition
to their pay. The laws' and regulations in the different countries about pay and allowances are
60 voluminous and cover so many varying conditions that a simple comparison of the amounts
received either in pay or allowances is very dilhcult. The table gives, however, approximately the
minimum pay for the grade.
(6) Grade of Lieut.-General discontinued la United States by Act of Congress, March 2, 1907.
(c) In the British army and many others the grade of Brigadier-General is not a permanent
grade, but Is temporary and ex-offlcio only.
(d) In United States pay is increased with each enlistment to the seventh. Enlisted men may
retire on thirty years' service with 73 per cent, of pay and allowances.
NOTE — The United States and Great Britain are the only countries having volunteer armies,
and the United States the only one having a thoroughly democratic army in which both otilcers and
men are drawn from all walks of life and which, therefore, has to offer monetary inducements In
competition with the wage.i of labor.
In a memorandum for the Secretary of War on the subject of the pay and allowances of the
different countries Brig.-Gen. M. M. Macomb, President of Army War College, made the following
npiHiLrks *
"In order to make intelligent comparison of the figures given it is necessary to take Into account —
1. The purchasing power of a dollar, or the
cost of living in different countries.
2. That the United States and Great Britain
are the only countries adlierlng to a volunteer
system and hence having to offer monetary in-
ducements for soldiers in competition with the
wages of labor.
3. That as regards officers, the United States
has the only democratic volunteer army. Its of-
flcers are drawn from all walks of life, and it is
supposed that their salaries are sufficient to sup-
port them and tteir families.
In Great Britain oflftcers are drawn almost en-
tirely from the upper and wealthier classes, and
It is not supposed that their salaries are sumcient
to support them. For example, second sans and
remittance men generally, if possible, become
ofRccrs of the army or navy, enter the diplomatic
service or the clergy.
In Germany an officer before receiving permis-
sion to marry must show that he or his wife has
BUfficient private income to maintain himself ac-
cording to his position.
In the matter of pay a simple comparison of
the fla'ires in this table, without having in mind
the pr.-t.'edlng remarks, can only lead to erroneous
conclubjons.
ALLOWANCES.
In the matter of allowances, all soldiers In all
armies receive quarters, clothing, and rations.
All offlcers receive quarters or allowance In lieu
thereof. All mounted offlcers receive allowances
for horse and equipment. Beyond these the al-
lowances in different armies are impossible of
comparison. In the United States oflflcers receive
allowances for fuel and light, extra pay when on
aviation duty, and both officers and soldiers re-
ceive a(lditional pay for tropical service.
In European armies the pay for different duties,
and the allowances for different circumstances are
so many that books are required to cover them.
In Russia, tor example, the subject of pay ia
covered in four volumes.
In England additional pay Is given for foreign
service, for command, for armament pay, for
engineer pay, for corps pay, and allowances for
fuel, light, servants, mess, official entertainments,
etc.
In France additional pay is given- for children,
for belonging to the Legion of Honor, for prison
duty, for marches and manoeuvres, for being
stationed in Paris (on account of the high cost oJ
living), etc., and allowances for service expenses
incident to commands, office expenses, etc.
In general, the allowances in Europe for officers
are relatively greater than in the United States
and the pay less. But the allowances are so
varied, not only between different grades but
between officers and soldiers of the same grades,
and the whole subject so comprehensive that any
attempt, to reduce the allowances of the armies
of the world to a uniform basis so that they caa
be compared in a table is an itapossibtlity.

MILITARY SMALL ARHSSo
Compiled from latest available data. Changes are frequently made, and It Is fllfflcult to
present accurate statlsMfs.
About 1880 all the civilized countries began rearming their troops with magazine rifles of small
calibre, using high power cartridges with smokeless powder. Modifications and Improvements In
these as well as In carbines and pistols, have materl.ally added to their efi&otlveness. At the
present time no great difference exi^^ts in the effectiveness of the kinds of rifles with which the armies
of the great powers are supplied with regard to their ranges and shooting qualities. It Is well known
that the effectlv»»ess of any arm depends greatly on the experience and skill of the men who use
It, and that, other things being equal, the troops most thoroughly Instructed and drilled In the use
of the rifle are the most efTlolent In battle.
An automatic rifle will be. doubtless, the military weapon of the near future. The United
States and nearly all of the principal countries of Europe have been experimenting with rifles of
this type. It seems, however, that, as yet, no automatic shoulder rifle has been brought forward
that Is considered to be sutricleutly reliable and effective for war purposes to justify the great
expense of adopting It In the place of those now In use. '
A few years ago the Mexican Government ordered some 4.000 rifles of the automatic type,
known as the "Mondragon," with which to arm part of Its army. This gun has the same calibre
and uses the same cartridge as the German Mauser, with which the Mexican troops are mostly
armed, but information as to the result of this experiment of Introducing an automatic rifle to
actual military use Is lacking.
Germany adopted an automatic pistol for military use In 1908. The United States has adopted
for the Army and Navy, In place of the service revolver, the Colt automatic pistol, after extended ex-
periments and tests. This Is regarded as a very eflectlve weapon. Its length is 8.5 Inches; length o/
barrel, 5 Inches; weight, 2 lbs. 7 oz.; calibre, .45; cartridges In magazine, 7. The German auto-
matic pistol has a length of 8.54 Inches; length ol barrel. 4.02 Inches; weight, i Ui. 13i4 oz.:
calibre, .35; cartridges In magazine, S.

AUTOMOBU.SS EN KEW VOiiiC STATE.
The tremendous growtli in the use of motor vehicles in New York State is demoustrated oy the registra-
tion and license figures, together with tlie total receipts since 1919. In the e.irly years, however, annual
registration was unnecessary, so that the figures up to 1910 do not show t'le total number of machines in
operation, only those registered in each year. When the present law took effect iu August, 1010, there was
a reregistration of all machines. The official figures for the registration of cans, liceasing of chauQeurs,

MORTALITY OF THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS.
For comparison with civil mortality statistics, the following data concerning the mortality of the United
States N.avj' and Marine Corps were supplied by the Surgeon-General of the Navy :
The low rates as compared with those of the registration area are, of course, dependent upon the special
age distribution of tlie naval force, wliich is for the most part compo.sed of men in the most favorable periods
of life. The marked reduction in the mortality of the entire service from 8.88 in 1900 to 3,82 in 1913 is
notable. Comparative figures for the English Navy, 1911, are as follows: Average strength of service
afloat, 117,100; total deaths, 366, or 3.12 per 1,000; deaths from diseases, 260. or 2.22 per 1,000; deaths from
violence, .106, or 0.90 per 1,000.

The origin of the Navy Department may be said to date from October 13. 1775. when Congress author-
ized the eaulpment of two cruisers, mounting respectively 10 and 14 guns. Before the end of that year
16 more vessels of from 20 to 3G guns were authorized. The affairs of the Navy were at that time Intrusted
to a ••Maritime Committee." In 1798 the present department ^^as formally created, and Benjamin Stoddart
appointed the first Secretary.

each Senator, Representative, and Delegate in Congress, two tor the District of Columbia, fifteen each
year from the United States at large and twenty-five each year from the enlisted personnel of the Navy
who have been one year in the service. The appointments from the District of Columbia and fifteen each
year at large are made by the President, while the twenty-five each year from the enlisted personnel of
the Navy are maile by the Secrptary ol the Navy after a competitive examiiiatiou. One midshipman
is allowed from Porto Uico, who must i)e a native of that isluiul. The appointment is made by
the Pre.si dent, on the reconimendation of the Governor of Porto Rico. Tlie Congressional appoint-
ments are equitably distributed, so that as soon as practieable each Senator, Representative, and
Delegate in Congress may appoint one midshipman during each Oongress. The course for mid-
shipmen is four years at the academy, wlien the succeeding appointment is made and the
exammation for graduation takes place. Midshipmen who pass the examination for graduation
are appointed to fill \'acancies in the lower grade of the Line of the Navy, in the order of merit
as determined by the Academic Board of the Naval Academy. The act of June 29, 19CMS,
prescribes that the Secretary of the Nav.v shall as soon as possible after June 1 of each year
preceding the graduation of midshinnien in the succeeding year, notify in writing each Senator,
Representative, and Delegate in Congress of an.y vacancy that will exist at the Naval Academy
because of sucii graduation, and which he shall be entitled to till by nomination of a candidate and
one or more alternates therefor. The noaiinatioii of candidate and alternate or alternates to fill
said vacancy shall be made upon the recommendation of the Senator, Representative or Delegate, if
sucli recommendation is made by March 4ot the year following that in which said notice in writing is
given, but if it is not made by that time the Secretary of the Navy shall fill the vacancy by appoint-
ment of an actual resident of the State, Congressional District, or'l'erritor.v, as the case may be. In
which the vacancy will e.xist, who shall have been forat least two years immediately preoedinpthe
date of his appointment an actual and bona fide resident of the State, Congressional District, oiTer-
rilor.vin which the vacancy will exist, and of tlie legal qnaliflcal ion under the law as now prorided.
Candidates allowed for Congressional districts, for Territories and for the District of Columbiamust
beactual residents. Candidates at the time of their examination must be physicall.v sound, well formed
and of robust constitution. Attention will also be paid to the stature of the candidate, and no one
manifestly under size for his age will be received at the acndem.v. The height of candidates foradmis-
sion shall not be less than 5 feet 2 inches between the ages of 16 and 18 years, and not less than 5 feet
4 inches between the ages of 18 and 20 years; and the minimum weight at 16 yenrs of age .shall be 100
pounds, with an increase of not less than 5 pounds for each additional year or fraction of a year over
one-half. Any marked deviation in tlie relative height and weight to the age of a candidate will add
materially to the consideration for rejection. Candidates must be unmarried, and any midshipman
who shall marry, or who shall be found to be married, before bis graduation, shnll be dismissed
from the service. All candidates must, at the time of their examination for admission, be
between the ages of 16 and iO years. The pay of a midshipmati is $600, beginning at the date of

THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.
ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF SCOUTING.
Like many other things showing permanence and power, the Scout movement can be tracea
back to widely separated sources where constructive Ideas came to boy workers and were tested
with varying degrees of success. In America there were a number of originators of methods, plans,
and principles that have proved effective. In Great Britain, Lleut.-Gen. Sir Robert S. S. Bat en-
Powrfl became active in organization work based partly on the ideas and methods of American
workers. He did this so successfully that the enrolment of British Boy Scouts soon grew Into the
hundred thousands, with the emphasis, not on the military note, but on peace virtues and learning
practical trades. Then the movement spread to Germany, France, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand,
to Canada and the United States; to South American republics; In short, almost the world over,
since It is ah'eady established In seventeen different countries iu addition to the numerous colonial possessions
of Great Britain and the United States. Everywhere it has shown .Tdaptatlon to new fields and nationalities.
In Germany the boys have engaged in the work with such enthusiasm aud in such numbers that the
Prussian and Bavarian authorities are giving the movement financial aid. While the number of Boy Scouts
enrolled throughout the world is estimated as not less than one million, one-tilth of tlie whole number are
in the United States. The emphasis and ideals of the movement belong here also to the highest plans —
that of eCflcient citizenship, service, and character-building.
"The Boy Scouts of America" was incorporated Fet.ruary 8, 1910, and given a Federal charter protect-
ing the name, uniform, badges, insignia, etc., June 15, 1916. It has as its Honorary Pre.sident the Hon.
Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, and Hon. William H. Taft and Col. Theodore Roose-
velt as its Honorary Vice-P'-esidents. Associated with these iu approval and promotion of the movement
are eminent citizens from all walks of puhlic life, who are members of the National Council and of the local
councils in the citites and towns of the whole country, and a host of others who earnestly co-operate m the
A group of men, representing the various religious and civic organizations of the community
that are engaged In boys' work, are brought together as a local council for the promotion of Scout
Work. This local council receives a charter from the national organization, giving theni full
authority to deal with all questions relating to scouting in that district and to pass upon all Scout
Masters' applications. In many cases this council engages a Scout Executive to take ciiarge of the worK
in that community. He is responsible to the local council for the direction and promotion of the work.
He is the ieader of the Scout Masters, and as such gives such Instructions and help ns may be necessary,
arranges inter-troop meets, games, camps, and in general m.akes uniform the plan of work conducted in
that community. The Scouts are organized in patrols and troops. Eight boy.-i constitute a patrol, one ol
whom is chosen as the Patrol Lea,dcr. Three patrols make up a troop. The Scout Master is the adult
leader of the troop. -Already there are about 320 local councils in as many cities throughout the United
States, and under the direction oj each there are from five to one htmdred and fifty Scout Masters In charge
of troops. In the past vear arrangements were completed whereby the isolated boy — the boy who lives ma
village or on a farm and cannot organize a troop — may become a Pioneer Scout, ofiiciaUy aliiliated with the
National Movement and eligible to all the pleasures and benefits of scouting.
The Scout programme Is proving practicable as a civic enterprise. There are many cities so
thoroughly organized that every phase of boy life In the community Is being reached by Scout activi-
ties. The movement Is adapting itself not only to the wealthy classes, but to the boys of the slums,
to the newsboys and to foreign boys alike. Over 9,000 Scout Masters are already registered with the na-
tional organization, representing about 200,000 boys that are being reached by the movement^ Work to
some extent has been started in practically every city in this country having a population of 4,000 or over,
besides In the Hawaiian Lslands, tlie Philippine Islands, Porto Rico and Guam. Any boy, of any class or creed,
over 12 years of age, is eligible to become a Scout. The initial requiieraents are that he know the Scout
salute, sign and laws, and that he take the Scout oath. By meeting certain requirements, he is in line to
become a Tenderfoot, Second-Class and First-Class Scout. ^ ,. , . „ , ^„„„n„„ tj™
Scouting means outdoor life, and so health, strength, happiness and practical educ^ation. By
combining wholesome, attractive outdoor activities with the Influence of the Scout oath and law,
the movement develops character and worth-while ability. , ,„ „,, „ „,,„ =.,„/i„
Scoutcraft Includes Instruction In first aid, life saving, tracking, signalling, cycling, nature study,
Beamanshlp, campcraft, woodcraft, chivalry and all the handicrafts. „„„„,„ „„,. „„„
It is one of the principal purposes of the Boy Scout movement, abroad, as well as In our own
country, to teach bovs that to create Is better than to destros', and that peace, not war, will make a
great nation. This claim Is amply borne out by the splendid first aid and other humanitarian ser-
vices ol the most practical nature rendered by the Scouts In the present European war.
The Scout movement also has done notable pioneer work m the re.alm of boys' readmg, giving counsel
to parents and to publishers and authors on books of good and bad influence ana pijblLshing lists of a_pproved
bookk— ateo a Ubrary of especial value to boys. It publishes also a monthly illustrated magazine for boya,
'="%Ka'iioAS'^orVanlz1it!on"'m Tarlel^^ by public subscrlptlotis. Sustaining and
Contributrng MSnbei-shlps are Issued to men and women throughout the country who are flnan-
plallv as-ilstine In the development and promotion of this organization among boys.

There are now about 3,0CO post-ofllces of all clas.se.s,
500 telegraph stations, with 25 telephone and 6
wireless-telegraph stations. The length of wires
totals about 75,000 kUometres (46,002 miles), while
an equally efncient cable sj'stera shows a total
length of cable amounting to 775,000 metres (over
480 miles). There has been but little activity in
the development of railway systems, ov/ing to the
prevailing political unrest. The recent additions
make a total of about 16,000 miles.

CONStlLAR SERVICE.
C. G., Consul-Gsneral; C, Consul; V. C, Vice-Consul; D. C. Deputy Consul; C. A., Consular Assistant.
To insure orompt attention letters upon consular business should be addressed "To the American
Consul at "'. Such letters are opened and attended to by the person who happens to be
in charge of the office. If addressed to the Consul by name tUey are forwarded to him unopened if he
should be absent, and a delay thus intervenes; if he should in the mean time have gone out of office they
may wholly escape attention.
Consuls at the principal places in the world are given here. Where there are a Consul and Vice or
Deputy Consul at tlie same place only the Consul is given. Consular officers are ex-offlcio notaries for all
the States of the United States.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE CONSULAR SERVICE.
In pursuance of the Executive order of June 27, 1906, whereby the Piesldent promulgated regulations
governing appointments and promotions In the consular service, the following rules have been adopted by
the Board of Examiners, who, under that order, have been designated to formulate rules for and hold
examinations of applicants for admission to the consular service whom the President shall have designated
for examination to determine their eligibility for appointment therein:
1. The examinations will be the same for all grades and will be to determine a candidate's eligibility
lor appointment In the consular service. Irrespective of the giade for which he may have been designated
for examination and without regard to any particular office tor which he may be selected.
2. The examinations will consist of an oral and a written one, the two counting equally. The object
of the oral examination will be to determine the candidate's business ability, alertness, general contemporary
{nformatlon, and natural fitness tor the service. Including moral, mental, and physical qualifications, character,
address, and general education and good command of Engli-sh. In this part oi the examination the ap-
plications previously filed will be given due weight by the Board of Examiners, especially as evidence of
the applicant's business experlen;'e and ability. The wrlt'>:en examination will Include those subjects men-
tioned in the Executive order, to wit: French, German, or Spanish; the natural. Industrial and commercial
resources and the commerce of the United States, especially with reference to possibilities oi Increasing
and extending the foreign trade of the United States; political economy, and the elements of international,
commercial and maritime law. It will likewise include American history, government, and Institutions;
political and commercial geography; arithmetic (as used In commercial statistics, tariff calculations,
exchange, accounts, etc.); the modern history, since 1S50, of Europe. Latin-America, and the Far East,
with particular attention to political, commercial and economic tendencies. In the written examination,
composition, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and writing will be given attention.
3. To become eligible for appointment, except as student Interpreter, in a country where the United
States exercises extra-territorial jurisdiction, the applicant must pass the examination outlined above,
but supplemented by questions to determine his knowledge of the fundamental principles of common law,
the rules ol evidence, and the trial of civil and criminal cases.
4. The examinations to be given candidates for appointment as student interpreters will follow the
same course as In the case of other consular officers, provided, however, that no one will be examined for
admission to the consular service as a student interpreter who is cot between the ages oi nineteen and twenty-
six, inclusive, and unmarried; and, provided further, that upon appointment each student Interpreter shall
sign an agreement to continue in the service so long as his services may be required, within a period of five
5. Upon the conclusion of the examinations the names of the candidates who shall have attained
upon the whole examination an average mark of at least eighty, as required by the Executive order, m'IU be
certified by the board to the Secretary of State as eligible for appointment In the consular service, and the
successful candidates will be Informed that this has been done. . ,_
6. The names of candidates will remain on the eligible list for two years, except in the case of such
candidates as shall within that period be appointed or shall withdraw their names, and of candidates
holding subordln.ate posiilcns in the consular service, when eligibility shall not expire until appointment
to consular rank or until separation from the service. Candidates whose names have thus been dropped
from the eligible list will not be eligible for appointment unless upon fresh application, designation anew
for examination, and the successful passing of such second examination.

CEOCRAPHIC RESEARCH IN 1916.
A BETOEW specially prepared for The Woru) almanac by the National Geographic Society, and covering
the year between October 1, 1915, and October 1, 1916.
In general.
The European war ejrtended its territory, and the number of people Involved, beyond the remarkable
bounds of 1915. All other wars in the world's history pale before it in territory involved, in the people
affected, in munitions expended, in debts piled up. In sacrifices demanded, In casualties sustained, almost
as the moon pales before the sun. Ail this has left little time in the warring nations for thought of any-
thing else than the fearful competition for survival, and the outstanding events in the year's record of geo-
graphic research are few. The work of Sir Ernest Shackleton, Vilhjalmur Stefansson and Robert Grlgga,
and the reports of Prof. Hiram Bingham and Prof. O. F. Cook to the National Geographic Society on their
Peruvian researches are the leading events in the year.

expedition to Katniai volcano, Alaslca. Grossing
the mountains towaji'd Bering Sea, he entered the
wondeiful "Valiey of the Ten Tliousaiid Smokes,"
whea-e lie estimated *ha)t then-e wea-e l.OOO col-
umns of steami more than 000 feet liigli, even at
that time, which seemed to be a period of mini-
muan activity. He also found tJie crater of Kn/t-
mai ito be almost as large as the whole fmomitain
of Vesuvius, discovered a numt)er of volcanoes of
tlie first magnitude and a canyon rivalling the
Gi'aM Canyon in denAh and tlie Canadian Rockies
in its boa-dering mountains. He reported Wnat
new seedlings of all the important plants had
been able to geiminate in the ash deposited by
the eruption and had survived the Winter. He
also secured incontestable evidence to show that
plants regained their vitality after tjluree years'
burial in the voloajiio ash, dining which no veg-
etative activity was iMssible.
Ten pairties from the United States Geological
Survey are engaged iu geological exploration in
Alaska. Reports on the geological foinnations and
history of the Canal Zone and adjacent regions
are apiproaohing completion .
An investigaitiou of the "natural mounds" of

tliat each of file thousands of tumuli is really
the ruin of a dome -shaped, timber-fralaied habita-

As evidence of tlie increasing interest of Amer-

SOUTH AMBlilCA.
The reports of the ^Jaitionail Geogmaphic So-
ciety-Yale University exipedition of 1915 to Peru,
Da-. Hiram Bingham, director, were published.
These reports throw much new light on the an-
cient civilizajtion of iPeni, and bring out much
new botanical, zoological and etJmorogioal data.
A laa'ge number of .xiicient highways and buried
towns aa'e described, showing that Jlachu 'Picchu
was the centre of wdiat was pei'haips the most
densely poipulated region of the pre-'Oolumbian
New World; that these ancient people made pot-
tei'y strildngly like that of aacienit Greece; that
tlie td'epamiing of skulls was general among them-
thait they were a peace-loving people who had
only one word to desiguate soldiei- ondi enemy.
Careful toipograiiJuc, ethiio&i'aijhic, botanical and
zooiogical surveys wetra also reported of tiho
Aipiirimac-Urubambu region of high Peini. Nat-
uralist Edrammd Heller found vamipire bats whicb
have lost the powea- of swallowing solids througlh
their .sucking of the blood of animals for so
many geneaaitixjiis. Botanist O. F. Oook shows
how. when our ancestors in Europe wenre stiU
dressed in skins and Qivjng by the chase, settled
agricultiu^al conditions must have existed, in Ptru.
Ho shows hxDW most of the land of the Inoas had
a soil that was bi'ought long distances; how our
reclamation projects sink into insignificance meas-

lee in the middle of Weddell Sea in October.
1915. The entire paity succeeded in ianding on
the ice with supplies and boats. After ineffectual
atttempts to land elsewhere, they finally were ablS
to ^land on .Elephant Island and find shelter in
an ice cave. Thereafter. Sir Ernest Shackleton
and a roarty of six succeeded in reaching South
Georgia and crossing that island for the first
time. Reaching civiliyjation on May 31. he en-
listed fom- different expeditions for the relief of
the marooned men. .\fter his unsuccessful at-
tempt in the Emma. Sir Ernest Shackleton
obtained the Chilean steam yacht Yelcho
which, manned and eauipped at the expense of the
Chilean Government, left Punta .\renas for the
south on. August 4. Approaching Elephant Island
from the northwest, the Yelcho pushed through
innumerable stranded bergs and reached the mefl
ou .iugu.st 30. All of the -party being found
alive and well, they were immediatelv taken otf
board and the steamer was homeward bound
within an hour after her arrival. The day after
Sir Ernest Shackletou had left Etephant Island
for South Georgia, it was beset with dense pacis
ice. and they were forced to come out of the cava
and make dwellings of the two boats set up aS
far back from the sea as possible on a narrow
fitjit of land forty yard.s ivide. where lliey werV
in constant danger of being conquered either by
the ice laden waves or the temfic blizzards.
Apart from the small supply of boveril and other
iu-o\iisioii3. the party depended for food on sma/i
penguins, seals being unable to land owing to th«
ice foot. Just before the arrival of the Yelcho
the party had made in'ei>arations for an attempt
to reach Deception Island, a Siuumer rendezvoiia
of whalers, in the remaining boat.
The AuimiB.. the auxiliai-y vessel of the Shack-

Zeailand. Immediate steris were taken to rescue
the ten tweu she left ashore at Oaii>e Evans.
"Sir. Stenhouse, chief officer of the .Auroras
stated that in May two months' provisions for
twelve men were put ashore; later in that month
provisions vvere landed at another point for five
men for two months. Mr. Stenhouse also re-
ported that the provisions left by the Scott ex-
pedition at Capo Evans were ample for aU the
party's needs, and that there were large colonies
of seals in the vicinity. On June 27 it was an-
nounced at Wellington. New Zealand, that M^.
Stenhouse would lead the party for the relief ol
Mr. Mackintosh and the nine others left on
Cape Royds. As no news of them had beeA
received in the middle of November. Sir Ernest
Shackleton sailed from San Francisco for New
Zealand to begin a final dash for Ross Sea. The
explorer plans to enter the British army as eooa
as the marooned party is rescued.

ARCHAEOLOGY.
The ruin ol a building more than 1,000 years old
was unearthed In Mesa Verde National Paris,
Colorado, by Dr. J. W. Fewkes, ol the Smithsonian
Institution, Washington, D. C.
A large amphitheatre was discovered at Pozzuoli,
Italy. The building was first buried In its own
flebris, and later by a volcanic eruption. Fragments
of gilded and colored stucco attest the former
magnificence of the bultding.
There was found among the temple archives at
Warka, the Biblical Ereoh, a small tablet which
contains the interpretation of two dreams by a
fieer of the time of Belshazzar. The tablet Is now
in the Yale Babylon Collection.
The ruins of Zimi Valley, New Mexico, were ex-
Bmined, and the stratified shell-heaps studied, making
It possible to determine the order In wliich these
ruins were occupied and the shifting of the centre
of poulation. Some of these ruins were those seen
by the Spaniards with Coronado when New Me.\ico
was first visited by them in 1540. This work Ls
being carried on by the American Museum of Natural
History, New York City.
Announcement was made of the publication of a
five-volume work on the great Oseberg burial ship.
This ship was found at Oseberg, nsar Tonsberg, in
Southern Norway, In 1904, and contained not only
the body of the Queen of Vastfold, but also complete
outfits of personal and household effects.
Dr. Farabee, of the University Museum, Phlla-
flelphia, Pa., made excavations on the Island of
Marajo, at the mouth of the Amazon River, and
obtained quantities of Indian pottery wlilch throw
light on the culture of former inhabitants of that
region.
An altar erected by Ptolemy, father of Cleopatra,
was unearthed In the ruins of a temple at Koptos
(now known as Kuft), Egypt. The sides of the
altar were covered with Illustrations and finely
Inscribed hieroglyphics.
A human skeleton, with the skull apparently
petrified, was found near Gaylord, Kan.
A fortification declared to be more remarkable
from an engineering standpoint than the pyramids
of Egypt was discovered by a member of the Yale
and Geographical Society Expedition in Peru.
The excavation of the palace of Memphis, In
Egypt, was continued by Dr. Fisher of the Uni-
versity Museum, Philadelphia, Pa. He discovered
the throne room and developed a general plan of
the palace.
Viking relics of the ninth century were found at
Valtos, on Lewis Island, one of the Hebrides Islands.
Among them were large oval brooches, part of a
bronze chain, and a disc-shaped ornament.
A paper, published in the Journal of the East
Africa and Uganda Natural History Society, volume
v., calls attention to the fact that between Klsmayu
and Port Durnford there are about 60 miles of
coast full of ruins, and north of Port Durnford
ttiere are Innumerable ruins of stone buildings.
No record remains of the builders, but they are
supposed to be early Persian settlers.
A new stage in the evolution of the horse Is repre-
sented by a skeleton secured in the Pliocene of
Nebraska, in the Summer of 1916, by the American
Museum of Natural History, New York City. It is
Intermediate between the "three-toed horses" and
tbe "one-toed" or modern type.
ASTRONOMY.
Observations on Mars, at the Lowell Observatory,

a catalogue of the magnitudes and colors of more
than 1,000 stars in the globular cluster Messier 13.
According to a Harvard University circular an
examination of photographic plates of the region
near the South Pole has led to the discovery of 19
new variable stars.
The first cometary discovery of 1916 was made
by Mr. Neujmin on February 24 at the Simela
Observatory, Crimea. From the character of the
orbit it is believed that the comet (aNeujmln,
1916) win be one with a short period. Another
comet was discovered by Mr. Wolf at Heidelberg,
on April 27.
A meteorite weighing about 20 tons was reported
to have fallen at Bezerros, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Measurements of the radiation of stars by • Dr.
Coblentz, of the United States Bureau of Standards,
brought out the relatlonsliip between total radiation
and optical brightness. It wa.s found that, in gen-
eral, red stars emit two or three times as much
total radiation as blue stars of the same photometric
magnitude.
Observations on Saturn at the Lowell Observatory
showed a remarkable change In the color and bright-
ness of the planet's bail.
A new method for the determination of latitude
was published in Attl R. Accademia del Lincei,
volume HI. The method is a modification of
Struves, in which high altitude stars are observed
in the prime vertical, but the improvement consists
in the employment of pairs of stars, one east and
the other west, chosen so that the observation of
both can be made in a short interval of time.
The 72-lnch reflector telescope, built for the
Dominion Astronomical Observatory, Victoria,
British Columbia, was completed at the works of
the builder in Cleveland, Ohio.
A revision of the catalogue ol stars found in
Ptolemy's Almagest (138, A. D.), was published by
the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D. C.

Chabot Observatory In the Oakland Hills, Cal., It
being utilized to form part of a wireless system for
transmitting time from the observatory to Oakland.
The Van Vleck Observatory of the Wesleyan
University, Mlddletown. Ct., was completed.
Markings of a new kind were observed on Mars
at the Lowell Observatory. A small dot was noted
within some of tke polygons, made by the inter-
sections of certain canals, and from this dot delicate
lines extended to a corner and to the sides of the
polygon.
A machine for computing perturbation of the
planets was described in a memoir by the Finnish
mathematician, K. F. Sundmann, an abstract of
which was published by Dr. H. D. Curtis, of the
Lick Observatory.

As a result of the great increase in the price of
potasslum-ferri-cyanlde, or red prusslate of potash,
which Is used as a coating material for blue print
paper, an economical method of preparing the
substance was devised by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.

gating several billion tons.
Since the outbreak of the European war, the
Geological Survey of Great Britain has been in-
vestigating the production of the Important minerals
In the British Isles. A late publication on the subject
deals with the sources of supply of fluor-spar and
the methods of working it.
A volcanic mountain presenting some novel
features was described in the transactions of the
Royal Society of South Africa. The particular
mountain (Geitsl Gublb) is situated In what was
formerly German Southwest Africa, near the
Keetmanshoop Railway, and rises to a height of about
5,000 feet above the sea. The noticeable feature
is the complete absence of fragments of lava of the
ordinary kinds.
The whole of Queensland is a vast cemetery of
fossilized species — on the surface, burled in drifts

ENGINEERING.
One of the largest developments ever undertaken
by a municipality was started by the City of Los
Angeles, Cal. The development consists of the
reclamation of over 137 square miles by the building
of an irrigation system of 350 miles of steel pipes
and approximately 13 miles of concrete conduits.
The United States Bureau of Standards built a
house of 56 panels, each about 12 feet by 14 feet,
of different mixtures of cement, for ascertaining
wWch mixture would stand best the s»m, wind,
rain and freezing temperatures of out or doors
and yet remain in good condition.
One of the largest double deck concrete vladucta
In the United States was cpmplcted in Cleveland,
Ohio. It consists of 12 quadruple concrete arches
with an average length of 140 feet each, and a
steel arch over the Cuyahoga River with a span
of 591 feet.
An aerial scenic tramway 1,800 feet long, built
for taking passengers across the Whirlpool was
completed at Niagara Falls, Ontario. There are
six parallel cables, over which run sheaves, forming
part of the frame that the passenger car is fastened to.
Work was started on a netv water supply system
for Winnipeg, Manitoba. The water will be brought
by gravity from Shoal Lake, a distance of about
100 miles, through nearly 85 miles of concrete
conduit.
The Rhone-Marseilles Canal was finished early
In 1916. The total length of the canal is 60 miles,
and it can accommodate barges up to 600 tons
dead weight.
Preca.st reinforced concrete piles 100 feet long
(reported as the longest ever driven) were used
In building wharres at Auckland, New Zealand.
The contract was awarded for a large low service
reservoir at Cleveland, Ohio. When completed the
reservoir will have a storage capacity of 130,000,000
gallons.

The Elephant Butte Dam in Sierra Co\mty,
New Mexico, was completed in May, at an approxi-
mate cost of 55,000,000. It contains about 608,000
cubic yards of masonry, and is said to be one ol
the largest masonry stnictures In the world. The
dam forms part of an extensive irrigation system
whereby 200.000 acres ot land in New Mexico and
Texas will become productive.
Among the notable concrete structures completed
was an ore dock 80 feet above water level and 1,132

in length by 88 feet in width, weighing about 5,000
Ions, connecting the two cantilever arms, the span
fell into the river, killing and Injuring a number
of worltmen. Work, however, on the bridge will
be continued.

The Torrens System of Registration of Titles to Real Estate, 561
THE TORRENS SYSTEM OF RECISTRATION OF TITLES TO REAL ESTATE.
(A statement prepare<1 by the Regi.
The "Torrens System" or "Torrens Law" is
a system of "regLstration of titles to real estate."
Under this system an owner of land receives
from the 'Public officer, called the Registrar, an
official certificate of title, which gives the uama
of the owner, a descriution of the land and a
statement of all liens and incumbrances affecting
the land. The certificate is issued in duwiicate —
the original remains on file in the lieeistrar's
offioe and a dui)licate is given to the owner as
his evidence of title.
When the .property is sold and it is desired
to transfer title, the owner surrenders li's cer-
tificate with an instrument in the form of a
deed or similar xvriting authorizing the Registrar
to transfer the title. whereui50n the Registrar
cancels the surrendered certificate aud i.ssues a
new certificate in duplicate form to the new
owner. The transfer is made in much the same
way that bank stock is transferred on the books
of the coruoration. The fee of the Registrar
for making the transfer is S2 or $3 and or-
dinarily the matter is attended to in a few min-
utes. No title searching is necessary because
the certificate is like a ledger page and is i«nt
posted to date. All open niattera affecting the
title are carried over u' on the new certificate
and all cancelled or exiiired matters are omitted.
The system was devised in its present general
form by Robert R. ToiTens and first promulgaled
in tlie fouTi of law in South Australia in 1S5S.
The "Regi.stration of Titles to Land." however,
was in use as early as 1811 in A^^stria aird in
1S55 in Hungary. Denmark regist'-red such titles
by iudicia.l decree as early as 1550. The jiro-
visions of the later acts, liowever. differentiate
the "Torrens" laws from these earlier forms.
From South Aiistralia th" law .soread to Queens-
land (1S61). Tasmania (1862). New South Wales
(]8(J21 Victoria (1>S62). New Zealand (1870).
Western .^u.'=tr■alia (1S74) Fiii (18T(i), and New
Guinea (1SS9). In all of these the registration of
titles is coiunul'sory on the alienation of crown
lands, otherwise voluntary: only fee simnle titles
may be registered. The title obtained by registra-
tion is indefeasible.
Almost immerliateilv after the launching of
the ."-vstem in Aastral'a it was ado'itrd in Biiti«h
Honduras (1858) fo'lowed by British Guiana
1880). the L"eward Islands (18SP). Jamaica
(1888). The system was also adopted in Central
Anifrica. Tahaso. Trinidad. Turks 'Island. Wales.
Nonvay. Denmark. Germany and .\us(ria. In
England a similar law was pas-,ed (1S62) and
Ireland (ISGo). In these leaseholds for life or
for twenty years were brought in. .\bsolute.
oualifiod or possessory titles may be registered
in Kngland: only ab^ohite titles in Ireland. In
1807 registration was made compulsory in the
Citv of London.
In Canada the svstpm was ado'^ted in British
Cohimbia (187!) Ontario (188o). Manitoba
(1885). Nova 5^cotia (1904), Alberta (1906). and
Saskatchewan (1906). Throughout Canada tlie
act is conviulsory on a.lienation of crown lands,
except in British Columbia, and voluntary other-
wise exnei't in Ontario. It i.5 wholly voluntary
in Ontario aiKl permi.=.sive onlv in parts of that
province. An estate of any kind is entitled to
registrati'^n except in Ontario, whicli i.^ n'len
onlv to fee simple ?nd 'ife or 21-ypar Icaseliol'is.
and Alborta and Saskatchewan, which exchidos
anv estate for less than three years.
In the United stales rpgistrat'f^n laws have
been pa'^ed in 14 States in the fnl'owing order:
Ohio (1S96). llluiois (1S97) California (1897),
Ma.s»,achii-^ettA {isn,><) Minn'vota (1901). Oregon
(1901) (Colorado dOOol Washington (1907) New
York (1908) North Carolina (1913). .Mississipiii
(1914) N^b-aska (1915). South Carolina (191B).
Virginia (1916).
Tlie system was a<lo"ted bv the United States
Governnip^t for the 'Miilippine 'Islands in 1902
end for Hawaii in 190.3.
In all of these States the law is voluntary
except in the Philinpinea (Government grants,
compulsory) ; Hawaii (lands o^^^led by corporatioas
compulsory) and Illinois (decedent's estates). The
strar of the County of New Yo.rk.)
unit of registration is the county and generally
the Register of Deeds or similar officer is the Re-
corder or Registrar. The operalio'n of the act is
confined to estates in fee simile absolute except
in Hawaii, whicli. like the English law. includes
aualified aud possessory titles. In all there is
a judicial proceeding which is heard, excciit in
.Massachusetts, the Philippines and Hawaii, in
the local court haying equity jurisdiction. The
"rsuit" is analogous to one to ciuiet title. , In
Hawaii the law was changed in 1914 so as to-
admit of registration of the estate or interest of
•a .person instead of the possessoi-y title being
registered. Massachu.sotts has a siiecial "Land
Court" and the Territories "Coiuts of Laind Reg-
istration."
In 1912 Ohio amended its Constitution and con-
ferred .judicial powere upou the Registrar so as tx>
permit the initial registration of titles to be
made directly bv the Regi.strar without making it
a matter of court jitigation. In 1915 Pennsyl-
vania ado- 'ted a similar amendment. These coii-
stitutional amendments make these two States
pioneers in the United States in the adoutioa of
a pure ToiTcns system.
In the original Ton'ens law in Australia the
Registrar had jiower to register uncontested titles,
but contested titles were sent to the court for
settlement. The first law of Illinois (1895. re-
pealed in 1897) and that of Ohio (1896. re-
pealed in 1S98) followed the same principle, but
were declared uiicon'-titution-al on the technical
groamd that the Registrar was not a judicial of-
ficer. Bec-aiuse of this decision it has been ueces-
sai'y under the laws of most States to go to.
court for the initial registration of -all titles,
even though uncontested. The constitutional
change in Ohio and Pennsylvania obviates this
unnece.osarv expense in those .States. In 1913-
(amended in 1914) Ohio passed a new law under
the authority exiiressly conferred by its constitu-
tional amendment.
Tlie proceedings are declared to be "in rem"
in New York and in most States. The judgment
of re.giitraticn binds the land and makes the
title uncontestable.
The dea-ee after a Tailing period becomes ab-
solute and conclusive. The time is 30 days in
Massach-usetts and the Phili'U'ines. 90 days in,
Colorado and Washinirton. 6 montlis in .Minne-
sota. 2 years in Illinois and Oregon, and 1 year
(amendment. 1914) in California. Th-c title so I'Cg-
istered is. genera-IIy si'eaking. indefeasible, the
exceptions being by private parties for fraud, for
varying periods and under varying conditions,
becoming absohitply indefeasible for this cause in
Massachusetts, the Philipinnes and Hawaii after
one vear. Proce°dirgs to set aside a. oertificate
for fraud will not li" against an innocent holder
for value. It is indefeasible as to boundaries
except in Illinois. Minnesota. Oregon. Colorado
and Washington, and in those -States where the-
adjacent property ownei's have been "brought in."
It is also defeasible as to unrecorded lease.'' not
reouired hv the law to be recorded. Such a title
;.- (^"fpn-'ible in action' b'- th': State or Federal
Oov<-riin-.pnt as fir fmiutut domain taxes etc.
.4.3SURANCE FUND -By law the IJtle of an
owner as stated on the certifir-ate is indofea.-iihIe —
th.at is. it cannot bo attiacked or \ipset by the
claim of any third party, no matter how meiitori-
oils such .a claim m'ght be in itself. Any claim
not stnted on th'- face of tlic oirrtificatje is cut off.
The certificate bolder, theoretically at lea.'-.t. does
not need any a.'^^siirance fund ifor his security, but
the a.s'jurance fimd iirovifks equitable money com-
pensation to any one a- hose ri.Thtg have been est
off by mistake. Mi.stake<s. however, are very rare
and the amount paid in losses is negligible in
every commnnity where the system is in operation.
The .State a.= a rnle (except in New York Stat«j
is back of the fund and each property registered
contributes to the fund. The premium rate i»
usually .1!1 ner thousand on the value of the land.
THE NEW YORK LAW— .Although in operation
since 1908. the New York law has been practically
a dead letter. In 1916 important omendmenta
were passed correcting some of the faults in the-

Chanter 444 of the Laws of 19C8 and was amended

547 of tbe Laws of 1910.
PROCEDUHE UN NEW YORK FOR INITIAL
KLOISTRATION — T'pon the first application for
a ct-rtlfioate of registration the titls must be ex-
Qrtnined in the same nay as it is ordinaxily ex-
amined upon a purchase transaction. This ex-
amination iS' dooe by an official examiner, who
makes a complete examination of the title, includ-
ing the Register's office. County Clerk's oSfice,
SuiTog'ate's Court. Federal Courts, reading of the
siinoy, inspection, of the premises and all otlier
matters iK?a-taining to a title.
The results of this examination ore placed in
a. ronort, wliich is signed by the oftici.xl examiner.
Tliis reix)rt of title by tlie official examiner, ac-
companied by a survey, with the owner's applica-
tion for registration, is presented to the Siipreme
Court at Siiecial Term, and if the Court con-
siders that th« title is one that should be rogis-
brrod an order is made to issue a summons. The
proceedings then go fonvaxd as in any other action.
If title IS established to. the satisfa^'tion of the
Court a filial judgment is rendered, which con-
taiu.s instniotions to the Registrar as to the man-
ner and tlie details of the registration of the
title. This judgment is filed with the Registrar,
who thereupon issues the first certificate of title.
EXPENSE OF INITIAL REOISTRATION IN
NEW YORK.
For the first application the costs are as follows:
(1) OFFICIAL EX.\.MIN.VWON— For the offi-
cial examination, feerf are fixed in the law at $lO,
plus $1 a theuiand on tlie value of the property;
that is, for a $3,000 vajuation the examiner's fee
would be $13. For a $10,000 vaiuation the ex-
aminer's fee would be $20. and so on. This fee is
paid to the Registrar.
(2) SURVEY — According to the surreyor s
charge — about $15 for each lot. paid to the s\tr-
feyor.
(3) PUBLICATION-— Once a week for four
woeks — about $30. paid to the newspaper.
(4) FILI.NG THE APPLICATION— $1. paid to
tho Registrar.
(5) RiEGISTRATION OERTIFia'V.TE^Fee $5.
paid to the Registrax,
(6) STATE ASSURANCE PREMIUM— $1 per
thousand on the value of the property; that is,
for a $3,000 property the assurance premium would
be $3; on a $10,000 proi^erty it would be $10,
and so on. The premium is paid to tihe Registrar.
(7) ATTORNEY'S CH-iRGBS— Owing to the
court proceeding, w-liich in New York is more com-
plicated tUan in other States, the employment of
an attorney for the initial registration is necessary.
The legal fees ai-e a matter of arrangement be-
tween attorney and cliemt.
All of the foregoing expenses are incidental to
the initial registration only. The assurance pre-
mivmi is iiaid once onily. It is not i>aid on subse-
quent tcansfers. That is, the assm-a'U'Oe premium
once paid 'a.!6iire3 the title for all time, and safe-
guards not only the holder of the certificate, but
also all other porecras dealing in the land, and
covers not only the iJresent transaction, but also
all future dealings.
For sub&equfut transfers the only expense is $2,
I)airi to the Registrar for transferring the title,
canceilling the old certificate and issuing a new
certificate to the new owner. For entering a. mort-
gage or other incumbrance upon the property a
charge of $1 is made, whicih is paid to the Reg-
■\raEKB TO M.^KE APPLIG.4.TrON— The law
'has State-wide application. In th-e counties of
New York. Kings. Bronx and Westciliester the Reg-
ister of the cou.nty is the Registrar. In all other
counties the County Clerk acts as Registrar. In
New York County the Register has designated an
officiail examiner of titles to act in the Oon.inty of
N«w York, wliich is co-termiuous with the Bor-
ough of Maxi.liattan.
Any owner may apply or any person holding a
contract of purchase from the owner may apply.
T'lie holder of the contract maj- have the certificate
i.i.sned in his own name after the title is closed.
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED— The New York
law h.is not been successful because it contains
features wliich aae foa-eign to a line Tom-ens sys-
tem. Under the advocacy of ,Tohn J. Hopper.
Registrar of New Yo'.k County, ainendmeuts are
being pressed that will make the New York iaw
similar to that of Miassaohusetts and other States
where the law has been su-cce.'^sful. The chief
features of tlie jiroposed amendmcmts are (1) to
make the examination of titles excluiively offioi.!;!;
(2) to put tlie State (county) back of tho assur-
ance fund, and (3) to simplify the court procedure.
The effect of tliese amendments will be to in-
crease ))ublic confidence in the system and to make
the initial proceeding short and cGonomical.

in 1876, it was incorporated as an Institution of university rank and power in 1910 to prescribe university
courses of study, to conduct university examinations and to confer university degrees. It has had over
10,000 students and members. Its representative has been around the world three times on these tours of
visitation to the colleges and universities of the world in the interest of "Religious Education from the
Scientific Viewpoint." for "religion is man's recognition of his relations and the performance of his duties
growing out of those relations."

THE MODERN HISTORiC RECORDS ASSOCIATION,
President — Justice Victor J. Dowling. Secretary- — .\lfred Kreymborg, 20 Exchange Place, New York
City. Founder — Alexander Konta.
The Modern Historic Records Association Is a non-commercial body. Its purpose is to preserve, for
future generations, the records of our contemporary history and achievement by the best methods
known to modern science, and to be of vital service and inspiration to historians, students, educators, and
others in the lite of our own time. The varying mediums employed are: Moving pictures, phonograms,
talking pictures, autographic records on parchment, special stories of great events printed on rag paper,
permanent photographs on glass positives, clay tablets, lantern slides, and whatever other means the
progress of science and the new triumphs of invention may provide. The organization was founded in 1911
by Alexander Konta, and among its Incorporators are some of the most prominent Individuals from every
field of human activity all over the world.
The larger part of the records of our contemporary history, progress, life, and civilization, as given In
our books, newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, and reports, is printed on sulphite or ou wood-pulp paper.
Many of these records are doomed to dust in from fifty to seventy-five years. In a century comparatively
little of the printed record of this great age will be in existence. To seek to off.set this situation, so far as
possible, by oermanent records of the vital events in our history, and to remedy the evil Itself, so far as Its
powers and influence permit. Is the aim of the Modern Historic Records .Association, the only organization
of Its kind in the world. The possibilities of the value of this work may be suggested In a single lUustTation
from the past. Lincoln's Immortal speech at Gettysburg is one of the treasures of English literature, yet
there have been published over a hundred different versions of it. Congress has twice printed It incorrectly.
Had it been possible to secure a phonogram record of the address when delivered there could be, at present
no dispute as to the actual words spoken by Lincoln.
Pending the securing by the association of a building of its own, for which tentative designs have been
made, the association has the privilege of preserving its records In the New York Public Library. Amonft
the many names of famous men who have recorded themselves for all time are: Thomas Edison, ex-Presldent
Madero of Mexico, Captain Rostron of the Carpathia, Peary and Amundsen, ex-President Taft, Maurice
Maeterlinck. Eugene Brieux, George Brandes, Paul Heyse, George Bernard Shaw. Prof. Paul Ehrllch,
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Dr. Luther Burbank, Hon. James Bryce. Prof. Paul Dubois, Sir Hiram B,
Maxim, Hon. William Jennings Bryan, Andrew Carnegie, Admiral George Dewey, Arthur Wing Plnero,

Widow Mothers' Pensions.
WIDOW MOTHERS' PENSIONS.
RELIEF FOB THE OHILDIIEN OF WIDOWED MOTHERS,
Twenty-nine States now 'have so-called "Widow
Mothers' Pension" acts. The word "pension" is
a misnomer and therefore misleading. A law
(passed dn 1915 by the New York Legislatm-e
shows the clear purpose of these acts. In a
memorandum on that law. on signing it, Governor
Whitman said: "The bill provides for the ap-
pointment of local boards of ch'ld welfai^e in the
city of New York and in each county of the
State outside of 'New York City. * » * Such
boards are created for the sole purpose of grant-
ing 'allowances to widowed mothers with one or
more children under the age of 10 ye<irs, in order
that such children may he suitably cared for in
fheir .homes by such inothers.' Such allowances
are to be granted in the di.scretion of the board
when money has been ai^propiiated therefor, in
the county by the Board of Slipervisors and in
the city by the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment and Board of lAldei-men, The powei's
of the boaa-d in affording the lelief provided by
the .bill will thereforo be limited by the money
made available by the local authorities. * * »
An allowance to a widowed mother may only be
mado under the bill where the board determines
that the mother is a suitable person to bring
Tip her own children and that aid is necessary
to enable her to do so. It must fiu-ther appear'
that if such is not granted the chUd or children
must be cared for in an institutional home. The
amount of 'allowance to the mother is limited
to the amount which it would be necessary to pay
to an institutional home for the care of such
child or children. The allowance, when made,
is to continue for a period of not longer than
six months and may thereafter be continued for
similar periods if renewed by the board, or it
may be revoked at the .pleasure of the board."
An investigation by a committee of the State
Senate of New York, of which Senator William
H. Hill is Chairman, disclosed "the fact that
Missouri was the first State to attempt even in
a lim.ited form to have half-orphans cared for
by their mothers in their home, said mothers
to be compensated for such service fiora public
fimds." .Senator Hill stated in a letter to Gov-
ernor Whitman in 1915 that "the Missouri law
was a.pproved April 7. 1911. and went into ef-
fect in June. 1911. By a population limitation
it only applied to .Taclcson County, in which
Kansas City is situated. The law has by amend-
ment since been extended to iSt. Louis and pos-
sibly by later amendments to a larger territory.
Illinois, in the same year (1911) passed a sim-
ilar but more compreliemsive 'Funds to Parents
act.' The third State was Colorado, which adopt-
ed by poijular vote the 'Mothers' Compensation
act,' submitted at the November election in 1912.
The law followed in general the provision of the
Illinois 'Funds to Parents act' and became oper-
ative upon proclamation of the Governor on Jan-
uary 22. 1913. At the present time twenty-nine
States have either gea-eral or limited laws com-
monly known as 'widowed mothers' pensioo
laws,' " as follows:
Arizona. Minnesota. Oklahoma.
Oahfomia. iMissouri. Oregon.
Colorado. Montana. Pennsylvania.
Florida. Nebraska. South Dakota.
Idaho. ^^evada. Tennessee.
Illinois. New Hampshire. Utah.
Iowa. iNew Jersey. Washington.

Massachusetts. North Dakota. Wyoming.
Michigan. Ohio.
Florida — Legislature of 1915 authorized appoint-
ment of commission to study question of mothers'
pensions. Commission of five persons has been
appointed. . ., , „ . „
\n account of the various widows pension
laws was given by the Hon. David F. Tilley, a
meimbfer of the Massachusetts State Board of
Charities before the National Conference of
Catholic Charities, held at Washington in
September. 1914. He said: "Tho purpose 'oai-
derlying all these laws is that of preventing
the breaking up of the home when, on aocoimt
of death or disability, the support of the natural
breadwinner' of the family ds removed. The meth-
ods adopted to secure this end vary widely in the
different States, as will be seen, from the foUovring
summary of the laws:
"Persons to Whom Aid May Bo Given. — The law
applies to any parent who. on accoimt of poverty,
is unable to care properly for a dependent or neg-
lected dhild. but is otherwise a proper guardian,
ill Colorado aud Nebraska: to any parent or
grandparent in iNevada; to any parent or guardian
in Wisconsin. In other States it applies only to
mothers. In California. New Jersey. Oldahoma
(and also in St. Louis), the mother must be
a widow to receive the benefits of the act. In
the remaining States not only widows but the
following other classes of mothers with de-
pendent children are included: In Idaho. Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio. Oregon. South Da-
kota, and Washington, mothers whose husbands
are in prison; in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri
Oregon and Washington, mothers whose husbands
are in State insane asylums: in Illinois, Minne-
sota, Ohio. Oregon, South Dakota, and Washing-
ton, mothers whoso husbands are totally in-
capacitated, physically and mentally: in Michigan,
Ohio (if deserted three years). Pennsylvania and
Washington (if deserted one year), deserted wives.
In Michigan are included also unman-ied and
divorced motheis. The law in Massachusetts ap-
plies to aU. mothers with dependent children who
shall have resided in the Commonwealth not less
than three years. In Colorado. Oregon and Wis-
consin, if the peKon having custody of the child
is not regarded as capable of expending the aid
wisely the court may order it to be paid to some
other person for the benefit of the child.
"Conditions On W.hich Aid Is Given —
(a) Degree of Poverty. — The condition of re-
ceiving aid under these laws is uniformly that of
poverty, with certain definitions added in som«
of the laws. For instance, in Washington the
mother must be destitute; in New Hampshire
and Utah she must be dependent entirely on her
own efforts for support: in Oregon, wholly or
partly dependent; in Illinois she may mot ovra
real property or personal property other than
household effects. In Idaho. Illinois, Missouri,
New Hampshire. Ohio, South Dakota and Utah
the aid must, in the judgment of the court, be
necessaiy to save the child from neglect; in New
.Tersey, from becoming a public charge. In
Massachusetts we have few restrictions other than
that the mother must te fit to bring up hear
children and that public relief is necessarj'.
"(b) Home Conditions — In most of the laws
tho requirement is made that the mother is a
fit person morally and physically to bring up
her children and that it is for the welfare of the
child to remain at home. In Idaho. Illinois,
Missouri, New Hampshire. Ohio, South Dakota
and Utah it is made conditional that the child
or children be living with the mother and that
t'ha mother shall not work regularly away from
home. In South Dakota she .may not be absent
from home more than one day in a week: in
Illinois and Ohio the amount of time is left to
the discretion of the court, while in Massachu-
setts the Overseers granting the relief determine
how much work the mother may perform and
give proper care to her family,
"(c) Residence — In Washington and Minnesota
one year's residence in the county is required;
in Idaho. Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio and
Utah, two years' residence; in Illinois. Pennsyl-
vania and Massachusetts, three years' residence.
Some of the States require 'legal' residence in
the State. Minnesota, two yeai-s' residence, and
California, tliree years. California and Illinois
require, in addition, that the applicant 'be a cit-
izen of tire United States.
"Age of Child — ^The maximum age of a cMId

Slinnesota, Missouri, South Dakota and Wiscon-
sin, also Illinois, although the limit may be
extended to 16 years if child is ill or incapaci-
tated for work; 15 yeaxa in Idaho. Utah and
Washington; 16 in Oolorado. New Hajnpshire,
New Jersey. Oklahoma. Oregon and Michigan;
18 in JJebraska and Nevada. The legal working
ege is the limit in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
"Amount of Allowance — The maximiun allow-
ance for one child is §2 a week in Iowa; §3 a
week in Michigan. It is §9 a month for one
child. $14 for two children, and $4 for each
additional child in 'New Jersey; $10 a month
for each child in -Minnesota and Nebra.ska; $10
a month for one child, $5 for each additional
child in Idaho. Missouri (i. e., Jackson County),
New Hampshire, and Utah; $10 for one child
and $7.50 for each additional child in Oregon;
$12 for one child and $4 for eacli additional cliild
in Wisconsin (amowit may. however, be tem-
porarily increased in cases of siclmess or unusual
conditions); $12 for one child. .S20 for two cliil-
dxen, $26 for tluee children and $5 for each
additional child in Pennsylvania; $12.50 for each
child m California ($6.25 a month by the State
and a like amount by the city nr county) ; $15
for one child and $5 for each additional child in
Washington: $15 for one cliild and $7 for each
additional child m Ohio and South Dakota; $15
for one cliild and $10 for each additional cliild
in Illinois (not to exceed, however. $50 foi any
one family), lu Colorado, Nevada and Massachu-
setts no maximum is set. but the amount must
be sufficient to cava properly for the children,
with the restriction in Nevada that it may not
exceed what it would cost to maintain and edu-
cate the child in a county or State home. In
Oklahoma the 'school scholarship' is the equiv-
alent of the wages of the child. In the city of
St. Loiiis the m.axunum is $3.50 a week, which
may be increased temporarily on account of sick-
ness or other exceptional conditions.
"Administration — ^The law is adiainistered by
the Juvenile Coiu't or some other county court
with similar functions in Colorado. Illinois, Idaho
(Probata Court), Iowa. Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri. Nebraska. Nevada, New Jersey (Com-
mon Pleas). Ohio. Oregon, South Dakota. Utah,
Washington and Wisconsin; by the County Com-
missioners, upon Che advice of tlie School Board,
in New Hampsliire; by the City or Town Overseers
of the Poor in Massachusetts, and by an unpaid
board of five to seven women residents of each
county, appointed by the Governor, in Pennsyl-
vania. Im Ohio. Neili'aska and South Dakota,
the ordei' granting aid is good only for six months
imless renewed. In Idaho. Illinois, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire. Ohio, Utah
and Washington the court may at any time
modify or discontinue the allowance. In Cal-
ifornia Bupervisoi-y powers are given to the State
Bo>ard of Control, which can appoint three State
eliildren's agents with ma unpaid advisojy com-
mittee of three persons in each county; in New
Jersey all cases granted aid are under the super-
vision of the State Board of Children's Guardians.
In Massachusetts certain supei-visory powers are
given to the State Board of Charity; in Wis-
consin to the State Board of Control. In Illinois
and Ohio the law requires that visits shall be
made to the homes from time to time by the
probation officers; in Massaohusetts, that the
Overseers of the Poor shall visit the families at
least once evei-j- three months and reconsider each
case at least once a year.
"Source of Funds — ^In all the States except
California, Massachusetts. Pennsylvania and Wis-
cougin the funds for canning out the provisions
of these laws come out of the county treasury.
In Illinois they are raised by a special tax of
not exceeding three-tenths of a mill on the dollar
of a taxable property of the county, and in Ohio
'by a tax not exceeding one-tenth of a miU.
"Keimbursements to the exteint of $76 a year
is made to the local authorities by California, and
in Massachusetts one-tliird of the amount in settled
cases and the whole amount in unsettled cases.
The State hears one^half of the expense in
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, within the limits of
the appropriation, uhicfh is apportioned according
to the population of the counties.
"Penalty for Fraud — ^Penalties are provided for
procuring or attempting to procure an allowance
fraudulently in Idaho. Illinois, Missouri, Nevada,
Ohio. Pennsylvania, South Dakota.^ and Washing-
ton,"

The -child welfars hoards of New York State are subject to the general supei-vision of the State
Board of Charitias. The Hon. '.Simon W. Koseudale. of Albany, who is Chainnan of the Committee-
«m Child Welfare of the State Board of Ohaiities reported to it on May 17, 1916, as follows:
"Since tilie emactnient of the law. Iboards of child welfare have been appointed in all the counties
of the State excepting Hamilton and Wyoming. It Is taken for granted that in these the County
Judges will appoint such boards at an early date, as the act in part provides that 'The members of
the Board of Oliild Welfare established by this act siball be appointed within sixty days after thia
tipt takes effect,' but in the two coimties named the Comity Judges failed to make appointments
within the time limit fixed by the .statnte.
"A nuanber of the counties whidh established boards of child welfare made no appropriation
for their work. The section of the law which goyetns appropriations conferred discretion in tihe
detennination of the nec<»ssity as well as the amoimt requu'ed for the pm-pose, and in twenty-four
counties, inchiding Hamilton and Wyoming, -the SupeiTisors made no appropriations. These twenty-
four oounties are:

THE BIC BROTHER MOVEMENT.
This movement was founded In 1904 bv Ernest K. Coulter in New York City. Since that time the
work has been taken up in over one hundred cities. There is a staff of paid workers, supplemented by vol-
unteers— lawyers, physicians, merchants, executives, teachers — all busy men, selected because of their
good will and natural ability to do effective work. The Little Brothers are boys referred by parents, hospitals,
police, courts, by other boys and by the boys themsel ves. They are the sons of widows. Inebriates, prisoners,
of careless or Ignorant parents — boys who are largely the victims of their environment.
The task Is to ascertain the cause of the boy's trouble — whether it be truancy, stealing, lying, running
away from home, etc.; then, with the co-operation of parents, through the mediation of the Big Brothers,
to build up within the boy a sense of honor and good citizenship. Every possible agency Is employed to
secure results— hospitals for examination or operation, the Y. M. C. A., church and settlement gymnasiums
Industrial classes and boys' clubs. Boy Scouts, trade schools, camps, and farm schools. President — Franklin
C. Hoyt. Vice-Presidents — Luther H. Lewis, Robert L. Gerry. Chairman Executive Commluee — ErnMt
K. Coulter. Secretaru — Charles A. Taussig. Treasurer — Francis J. Danforth. General Secretary — R. O.

Religious Societies.
RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES.
, Seventh-Day Adventlsts — The following state-
"ment has been prepared by H. E. Rogers, Statistical
Secretary of the General Conference:
The doctrine of the second coming of Christ was
preached extensively in the United States and Europe
during 1840-1844, and found adherents in many de-
nominations. The circulation of bool^s and journals
on this question deepened the Interest, and this study
and agitation brought about the formation of a move-
ment which assumed definite form in 1848 In the
New England States and was later organized as the
Seventh-Day Adventist denomination. The chief
tenets of this body are a belief In the literal, personal
second appearance of Christ, yet without ever setting
a time for that event, and the observance of the
seventh day of the week as the Sabbath. They be-
lieve that the dead sleep until Christ's second com-
ing; that the righteous dead are then raised to life,
and that the living righteous are made immortal.
Their total communicants throughout the world is
136,879. They have 130 organized conferences, 109
mission fields, 3,876 churches, 67 advanced educa-
tional institutions, 692 primary achoola; total en-
rolment, 21,036.
Beginning in 1894, active work was begun In non-
Christian lands, and has been continued until the
fffesent, so that a segregation of the work conducted
n non-Christian and non-Protestant lands, from the
foregoing figures, indicates the following: Mission
work is carried forward in 74 countries, with a total
force of 1,901. There are 842 churches, 24,902 ad-
herents, 10,928 pupils in 246 Schools taught by 428
loreign and native teachers.

cieties, of about half a million. The W. C. T. U. has
forty distinct departments of work, presided over by

ance in the public schools, and all these laws were se-
cured by the W. C. T. U.; also the lav/s forbidding the
sale of tobacco to minors. The first police matrons
and most industrial homes for girls were secured

Christian Science is a religion based on the Bible,
and founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1866. Her
interpretation of the Scriptures, whicli she named
Christian Science, la set forth iu a book entitled
"Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures,"
flnit published in 1S75. Since tlien it has been often
reprinted, with occasional reviMr)ns ol its word-
ing, before her decease. Other works by the same
author are "People's Id?a ol God" (18S6), "Christian
Healing" (1886), "Unity of Good" (IS*-;?), -'Retro-
spection and Introspection" (1891), "Rudimental
Divine Science" (1891), "No and Yes" (1891),
"Church Manual" (ISQ.")), "Miscsilaneous Writings"
(1896), "Christ and Christmas" (1S97), "Cliristian
Science Versus Pantheism" (1898), "Pulpit and
Press" (1898), "Messages to the Mother Church"
(1900. 1901, 1902), "The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, and Miscellany" (1913).
The First Church of Christ, Scientiat, In Boston,
Mass., founded in 1879, and known as The Mother
Church, is the parent organization of the Christian
Science denomination. Local churches, known as
branches of The Mother Church, are situated In
towns and cities throughout the world, but mainly
in countries where the Enp;lisii language is spoken.
The Mother Church is governed by a board of
five directors, v/hile the branch churches are seit-
govemed, subject only to a limited supervision by
The Mother Church as defined in the Church Man-
ual. At present the number of churches and societies
is 1,649, a considerable number of which have beauti-
ful and costly church edifices.
In the Church of Christ, Scientist, the place of
preaching is taken by the reading of a "lesson-
sermon" composed of selections from the Bible and
from "Science and Health, with Key to the Scrip-
tures," by Mrs. Eddy. The remainder of the Sunday
service consists of hjTnns, a solo, silent prayer, the
Lord's Prayer, and a responsive reading from the
Bible.
The Wednesday night meeting includes readings
from the Bible and "Science and Health, with Key
to tlie Scriptures," hymns, silent prayer, the Lord's
Prayer, and testimonies of Cliristian Science healing
from voluntary speakers. This cniirch claims to be
attended by a greater percentage ol men than is apt
to be the case tn other churches.
The Christiiin Science Publishing Society, under
the ausptca of The Mother Church, issues a quar-
terly periodical named The Christian Science Ouartcly
Bible Lessons, a monthly periodical. The Christian
Science Journal: a monthly, Dcr Herold der Christian
Science; a weelrty, the Christian Science Sentinel, and
a dally. The Christian Science Monitor, the latter
being a dally newspaper of general circulation and
Includes In each issue an essay or article on Christian
Science.
Christian Scientists are unique among religionists
by reason of ths extent to which they rely on the
practise of their religion for the prevention and cure
of disease. For this they assign several reasons.
They have found Christian Science mogt eflectlve
and reliable for this purpose; they believe it to be
the same method of healing that was used and taught
by Christ Jesus: they expect that this method of deal-
ing with evil, as it becomes better known and more
generally practised, will abate and ultimately abolish
sin and mortality.
In this way the Church of Christ, Scientist, Is re-
garded as a necessary agency in the restoration of
original ChriS'tianity and the realization of tlie highest
Ideal in religious hope and faith. Headquarters,

lication for the State of New York, 52 Vanderbllt

The New Jerusalem Church — This church is
founded on the acknowledgment of the Lord Jesus
Christ as the One God, and that the Trinity of
Father, Sou and Holy Spirit is in Him, as the soul,
body, and proceeding lite are in man. He took
our nature upon Him to overcome the powers of
hell by temptations, and thus glorified it or made
it divine. So He redeemed man. Salvation Is by
our co-operating with Him by shunning our evils
as sins against Hlra. The Sacred Scripture is His
Word, containing a spiritual .sense within the letter,
and teaching the way of life in Him. At death the
body is forever laid aside, and man rises in a spiritual
body into the spiritual world, the environment
there being lieavenly or Infernal according to the
character formed on earth. The Second Coming of
the Lord is not in Person, but in the Word, to open
its genuine meaning, effected through the writings
of His serva i. Emanuel Swedenborg. Thus the
New Christian Church of Divine Promise, signified
by the New Jerusalem in Rev. xxi., has begua,
introducing a new era of enlightenment and progress.
The body numbers 98 societies in the United
States and 72 in Great Britain, but there are many
scattered centres in various parts of the world, and
there is much interchange of thought and activity
through periodical and missionary literature. The

Street, Chicago, 111.)

The General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church. 601
THE GENERAL CONVENTION OF THE
The 44th triennial General ConV'ention of the
Protestant Episcoual Church was held in St.
Louis from October 11 to 27. 1916. This is the
supreme leKislative body of the Episcopal Church
and is composed of two House,? — the House of
Bishops and the House of Clerical and Lay
Deputies. Either of these two bodies may
initiate legislative mcasiues. but a concurrent
TOte is necessary for actual leeisla.tion. All
changes in the Constitution of the cliurch must
Obtain the approval of each House and must be
ratified at the next ensuinK convention before
becomine effective.
The House of Bishops consists of all diocesan
Tjishops. coadjutor-bishops, and suffragans. 'Dhe
latter have a seat in the House but no vote.
There are now 119 bishops, of whom 108 were
present at the convention. The newly elected
Chairman of the Upper llouse is the Rt. Rev.
Thomas P. Gailor. Bishop of Tennessee, and
the Secr«tai7 is the Rev. Dr. Samuel Hart, dean
of the Berkley Divinitv School. Middletovpn. Ct.
Two new Missionary Bishops were elected — the
Rev. Dr. Hush Latimer Burleson. Editorial Sec-
retary of the Board of Missions. .Vlissionarv
Bishop of South Dakota, aud the Rev. Prank
Hale Touret. rector of Grace Clnirch. Colorado
Springs. Mi-ssionarv Bishop of Western Colorado.
The Rt, Rev, Edward ttsborne. Bishop of Spring-
field. 111., and the Rt. TUsv. James Septoe .Tohn-
son. Bishoio of Weot Texas, resigned their juris-
dictions oxring to age and infirmity. Consent
was given to the consecration of the Rev. James
Wise of St. Louis as Coadjutor-Bishop of Kansas,
and tlie Rev. Dr. Irving P. Johnson of Fari-
teult. Miiui.. as Coadjutor-Bishoi} of Colorado.
The House of Deputies couiists of 610 clerical
and lav deputies. Each of the 68 dioceses of the
United Stites is represented by .four clergymen
and four la.vmen. The domestic missionary dis-
tricts including the countries under the .imeri-
oan sp'.^ere of influence, have two delegates, and
the same representation is allowed to the ten
foreign missionaiT di.stricls and to tho American
churches in Europe. This body organized by
the election of the Rev. Dr. Alexander Mann.
pe<Ttor of Trinity ChuroTi. Boston, as President,
and the Rev. Dr. Henry .\nstice of -Vow York
as Secretary. The Rev. Dr. White of Newark.
N. J., was re-elected Chairman of the Commit;
tee on Canons and Mr. Francis A. Lewis of
Philadelphia was appointed to the Cliainnan.ship
of the Committee on Despatch of Bu.siness.
The main bu.sineis of the convention was the
reception and consideration of the reports and
recommendations of various inint committees and
commissions ai>oointed in l!)13 at the General
Convention held in New York.
The report of the ioint commission on aiiestions
affecting holy matrim.ony recommended the amend-
raent of the canon law of the church so as to
make the remarriage of any person who had a
husband or wife living impo.'^sible by any clergy-
man of the Episcopal Church. .\s the law of
that church now stands, the innocent party to a
divorce may be married subject to an inspection
of the court records and with the consent of the
bishop of the diocese, though no clergyman is
compelled to officiate at such a marriage. In
view of the difficulty of determining ouestions
of guilt or innocence and of the growing prev-
alence of collusion, the joint commission favored
the prohibition of the marriage, in the church.
of any divorced person. After a long debate in
the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies the pro-
posal was carried by the c,lerg>'. but defeated by
the laity by two and a half votes. It was
therefore lost by non -concurrence of the two
orders.
The report of a joint commission on the basis
of representation in the House of Deputies
recommended the reduction of clerical and lay
deputies from each diocese from four in each
order to tliree and the granting of additional rep-
resentatives to dioceses on the basis of one
clergyman and one layman for each 100 resident
clergymen in the diocese. The effect of this pro-
posal would be to decrease the deixities from the
smaller and poor dioceses of the South and the
West and to increase tlie representation of the
PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
larger dioceses of New York. Pennsylyania. Massag
chusetts. Connecticut and Chicago. Of the 68
dioceses, under this scheme of proportionate rep-
resentation. 35 would have 3 deputies in each
order: 47 woidd have 4: 4 would send five depu-
ties and the two largest dioceses would send
each 6 deputies. The orooosa;! of the commis-
sion was decisively defeated by both the clerical
and lay order.
Other proposals which failed of passage were:
The resolution making the election of women as
deputies possible which was voted down both in
the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies,
and the report of a joint commission favoring
the election of provincial suffragan-bishops,
which would have paved the way for the election
of a negro bishop to have the oversight and
direction of the work among the colored people
of the South. A further proposal to give the
suifragan-bishoi'vs a vote in the Upper House.
where they now have a seat without a vote, was
passed by the Bishops, but rejected by the
House of Deputies. It failed for want of con-
currence.
Turning to actual legislation accomplisiied at
the convention, the most notable was the final
adoption of an adequate pension fund for the
support of aged and disabled clergymen. THis
scheme, which was inaugurated at the General
Convention of 1913. is based on a scientific ac-
tuarial calculation and is. by the terms of its
charter, subject to the jurisdiction of the De-
partment of Insivrance of the State of New
York. Funds for the paj-ment of the pensions
are provided by an annual assessment on parishes
of TVz per cent, on the salaries i>aid to the
clergy. This assessment wiU ultimately provide
fund; to pay a pension ranging from $6*10 to
$2,000 per annum, varying accordine to the
years of service and the stipend paid. All of the
68 dioceses of the chm-ch have agreed to levy
this tax on the parishes in their jurisdiction. Jn
order, however, to provide for the present gen-
eration of the clergy a fund of $5,000,000 is
being secured, of which $3,500,000 is now in
hand. The fund will be completed by March 1.
1917. at which date all clergymen who have
reached the age of 68 and are then in active
service 'Will be entitled to retire on a pension.
The convention 'appointed 18 trustees, of whom
Bishop WUUam Lawrence of Massachusetts is
Chairman and Mr. John Pierpont Morgan is
Treasurer.
Considerable attention was given to the neces-
sity of the adoption of modern business methods
in church 'affairs. On the recommendation of a
ioint commission the convention adopted a uni-
form fiscal year beginning on January 1 and a
model form for all parochial reports to diocesan
conventions, together with the appointment of a
finance committee in every diocese. The con-
vention also adopted a new canon requiring the
auditing of all church accounts over S3. 000 per
annum by a certified public accountant, also the
depositing of all tnist and other permanent
funds with a trust company or bank organized
under the laws of the United States or of a
State. The canon also makes an adequate fire
insurance of all church property compulsory.
The convention adopted a new lectionary which
provides the tables of lessons from Holy Scripture
which are authorized to be read in. the public
services of tlie church. This covers a period of
two years, diuing which the major portion of
hoth the Old and the New Testaments will be
read where daily services are held. The general
tendency of the new lectionary is to shorten the
lessons and it follows the Christian year instead
of. as heretofore, the civil year. A new liymnal
h,as also been adopted and authorized for use as
an alternate tp the present one. which has not
been revised since 1892. Two hundred of the old
hvmns have been •eliminated and 126 new ones
added, so that the new book has 559 hymns as
against 679 in the old. The new hymns are
drawn from all ecclesiastical sources, rangiru:
from Roman Catholic to Unitarian writeis.
Twenty-five of the hvmns are by American au-
thors, including William CiUlen Bryant. Whit-
tier. Holmes and such English writers as Tenny-

THE GENERAL CONVENTION OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH— CowrtnueA
fion and KiDling-. Carols for Clmstmas and
Ba&ter are added for the first time.
Much attention was Riven to the report of a
joint commission on the revision and enrichment
of the 'Book of Common Praver, the last revision
having been in 1892. Owine to the magnitude
of this reoort. it was divided between the two
Houaes and could not be com,Dleted ■at this con-
Tention. Much iprogre-ss was. however, made. The
revision of morning and evening nra.ver. the
usalter and the offices for the biuial of the
dead and the visitation of the sick wa.s com-
nleted. The general tendencv of the changes was
to shorten the services and to give the offiMating
minister more liberty in their use in public
worship. Scriptural aiiotations were revised to
bring them into harmony with the acceuted re-
sults of modem critical study, and maav archaic
exprsssions have been modernized. The sentence
of committal at a burial was radically changed
and a new office for the burial of children was
adopted. For the first time in the history of
the Epis.copal Ohnrch a prayer for the dead and
one for the blfssing of a, grave apnears in the
inrayer hook. In their revision of the- office of
the Holy Communion the House of Bishops
changed its title to "The Divine Liturgy, or Holy
Eucharist." these terms being entirely new to
the orayer book. They, however. re,iected the
nropasal of the commission to print the Ten
Commandments without the reasons heretofore
attached for their observance.
Under the head of enrichment several new and
important prayers were added to the book. These
include a prayer for State Legislatures, for courts
of .iusticc. for the army, the navy, for schools
and colleges, for children of the church, for
Memorial Day. social service, religious education
and for all who labor. A new table of Psalms for
special occasions is .provided, and the use of
what is Known as the "Imprecatory Psalms" is
made optional. New collects, epistles and gospels
are provided for the Fourth of July, the solem-
nization of matrimonv. the burial of the dead
and the dedication of a church.
Inasmuch as all changes in the Prayer Book
are altfrations of the Constitution of the church,
they will have to win the approval of all the
dioceses and be ratified at the convention of 1919
before the new Prayer Book c-an be issued. In-
dividual hi^ops may. however, authorize the use
of any or all of the new prayers in. their respective
dioceses.
The Board of Misi^ions reported an income of
$4,600,054.71 for the ta-iennium and of $1.5-43.-
780.88 for the period of September 1. 1915. to
October 1. 1916. this being the largest uicome in
its history. Of this amount the sum of $761.,S54.32
was contributed bv the parishes. $171,864.26 by in-
dividuals. and $193,049.20 by Sunday Schools.
After the pa\Tnent of appropriations amounting to
$1,550,000 the balance in hand was $31,190.19.
Ti\e reserve deposits aa-e $748,776.06. The united
offering of Uhe Woman's Auxiliary, presented dur-
ing the convention, was $352,147.04. an increase
of $50,000. This is devoted to the support of
women missionaries in various parts of the world
A Jfi!**"" S ,-^an)ly contested election the Rt. Rev!
Arthur ^Idem Lloyd was re-elected Presidefnt of
the Boaw of Missions by a majority of one in the
House of Bishops, and George Gordon King was
Meoted Treasurer. The convention gave the board
permission to elect a Vice-President who may be a
layman. A special commission was appointed to
visit Liberia, where the mission has been l«ft
without an 'Episcopal head through the recent
death of Samuel Pergnison. the only negro bishop
m the Episcopal Ciiurch. and also to investigate
conditions in the Pi-eiicli plateau of the Soudan,
with a view to the establishment of a new mis-
sion m that part of Africa. By an agreement
with the Anglican Church the board is authorized
to take over all the missions of the English Church
in Centra] America, with tlie exception of British
Honduras, and. with the ndditioa of the Panama
Canal Zome. to establish a new foreign miseionajr
district. . When this has been done, the House of
Bishops IS empowered to elect a missionary bishop
for Central .\merica. The convention, by reso-
lutions unanimously adonrtrd, placed itself on rec-
ord OS favoring fclie intiroduction of Biole study,
with credits, into the Ihiffh schools, and of the
closor supen-ision of moving pictures. It also
favored simpler and more wholesome standajtls of
living: the etricter regulation of the saloon and
tottal abstinence on the part of communicants
from intoxicating liquors at all public functiona
and private social gatherings. ,.4l comprehensive
report of the state of the church duiiag the last
three years contains the official statistics of the
E.piscopal Ohu.TCh for that period and. in almost

oommu.ni carats is given as l.OSO.OOO. but this
includes only those who have been actually con-
finned, and the committee estimates the working
adherents of the churdli at 4.0OO.0OO. There are
5.750 oi-dained clergymon. of whom about 1.000

The historic and patriotic Order of the Cincinnati was founded b.v the
American and French officers at the cantonments of the Continental army on
the Hudson at the close of liostilities in the War of the Revolution for American
Independence, May 10, 1783.
In forming the society it was declared that, "To perpetuate, therefore, as
well the remembrance of this va.st event a.s the mutual friendships which have
been formed under the pressure of common danger, and, in many instances,
cemented by the blood of the parties, the officers of the American army do
hereby, in the most solemn manner, a.ssociate, conslitute, and combine them-
selves into one Society of Friends, to endui-e as long a.s they shall endure, or any
of their eldest male posterity, and in failure thereof the collateral branches
who may be judged worthy of becoming its supporters and members. "
For convenience, thirteen State societies were formed, and one in France, under the direct
patronage of Louis XVI., which was dispersed at the Reign of Terror in 1793. Upon the roll of origi-
nal members appeared the names of all the great historic military and naval characters of the Revolu-
tion, and upon the roll of honorary members, elected for their own lives only, appeared many of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence.
THE RIGHT TO MEMBERSHIP.
AH Continental officers who had served with honor and resigned after three years' service as
officers, or who had been rendered snpernumerar.v and honorably discharged, in one of the several
reductions of the American army, or who had continued to the end of the war, and all French officers
who had served in tlie co-operating army under Count d'Estaing, or auxiliary army under Count de
Rochambeau, and held or attained the rank of colonel for such services, or who had commanded a
French fleet or ship of war on the .American coast, were entitled to become original members, and
upon doing so were required to contribute a month's pay.
STATE SOCIKTIES.
The Cincinnati is organically one, society in membership, but for convenience in admission of
members and in its charitable and patriotic objects was subdivided into State societies by the
Institution of 17H3, there being thirteen. Four dormant societies were restored to membership at the
triennial meeting of 1902.
Membership descends to the eldest lineal male descendant, if judged worthy, and, in failure of
direct male descent, to male descendants througli intervening female descendants. The Institution
gives the same right to the proper descendant of any Continental ofTicer who was killed or died in
service.
The general society when legislating for the good of the Order is comiiosed of the general officers
and five delegates from every State society, and meets trieimially. In 1854 it ruled that proper
descendants of Kevolutionar.v officers who were entitled to original meinber-ship, but who never could
avail themselves of it, are qualified for hereditarj' membership, if found worthy, on due application.

TERRITORY
(Statement prepared by Charles
AuisKA was purchased In 1867 for 87,200,000, and
since that time has yielded over sixty-six times its
purchase price. Congress did not pay any attention
to Alaska for the first seventeen years of its existence.
From the date of its purchase until 1877 a Collector
of Customs and some troops were the sole representa-
tives of the Federal Government. However, since
1867 (and by far the greater portion since 1899, or
only fifteen years), according to official documents.
Its output has been:
Gold 5260,488,175
Silver 3,011,153
Copper 40,281,148
Other minerals 2,751,63b
Fisheries and furs 299,581,690
Other merchandise 1,705,820
Total .'3614,319,824
Alaska Is situated in approximately the same lati-
tude as the Scandinavian countries, but the climate is
much milder, especially sJong the coast, where there
is an unusually large amount of rainfall.
The Agricultural Department has establislied suc-
cessful exoerimental stations at v.arious points within
the Territory, demonstrating that vegetables, grains,
grasses, and live stock are adapted to the climate.
Next to mining, the flsheries are the most productive
Industry in the Territory.
The first arterial route of a Government railroad
!n Alaska, reaching from the coast to navigable
waters of the interior, was designated by the President
on April 11, 1915. Starting from Seward, on Resur-
rection Bay, the route follows the line of the Alaska
Northern Railroad (acquired by purchase) to Mile
72 on Turnagain Arm of Cook's Inlet; tbence foUow-
OF ALASKA.
E. Davidson, Secretary of Alaska.)
ing the north shore of the arm to Ship Creek; thence
in a generally northerly direction along Knik Arm
and the easterly side of the Susitna Valley to Broad
Pass In the Alaska range of mountains and the head-
waters of the Nenana River; thence down the river
to the Tanana Valley and Fairbanks, a total distance
of 471 miles, with a spur of 38 miles from a point
near the head of Knik Arm to the Matanuska coal
field. The estimated cost of this system Is 526,800,-
000. Congress authorized the construction of
Government railroads in Alaska to the extent of
535,000,000, which leaves a balance of 58,200,000
available for other routes or branches.
The large and extensive coal fields — the Bering
River, the Matanuska Valley, and the Nenana
flelds — ■containing deposits of high grade character,
were subdivided into townships by Government sur-
veyors during the Summer of 1915. A portion of
these and otlier fields contain low grade deposits
known as lignite. The Nenana coal flelds were sub-
divided into townships during 1916.
The route of the railroad will open up the develop-
ment of the coal fields, as well as make available for
settlement the many thousands of acres of agricul-
tural lands, not to speak of the immense regions
known to be highly mineralized, as the lack of
transportation facilities heretofore has prevented the
extraction of minerals except at a loss. Every one
familiar with Alaska is confident that the building of
the road will revolutionize conditions In the North.
The principal shipments from Alaska for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1916, were: Gold, 516,195,635;
silver, 5759,962: copper, 526,488,288: other minerals,
5449,518; flsheries and furs, $20,202,400; Other mer-
I chandise. 5479,688.

THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.
(From a statement prepared by Dr. Talcott Williams, Director.)
THE School of Journalism in Columbia University, New Yorli City, on the Pulitzer Foundation, opened
September 30, 1912. On November 1, 1916, it had in all ISO students, of whom 36 are women. Divided
by classes, there are 69 in the first-year class, 43 in the second-year class, 43 in the third-year class, and 25
In the fourth-year class. Of the women who will take their degree in the School of Journalism, 17 are in
Barnard, and 8 of the men at present registered in Columbia College are taking courses in the School ot
Journalism. Of the first-year class entering last Fall, 55 are men and 10 are women. Of this number, 43
men entered on examination and 11 under the provision laid down by the late Joseph Pulitzer in his gift,
that students of maturity, experience and marked fitness should be admitted without examination. Of
the women, 10 entered Barnard College, to be there two years, on examination. Admission without ex-
amination, as Mr. Pulitzer expected, has enabled a number of journalists to enter the school. On pursuing
courses for two years with credit, these students are admitted to candidacy for the degree of Bachelor of
Literature in Journalism. This degree was conferred on 24 graduates in the course at the last commence-
ment oi Columbia University; of the fourth-year class, 18 were in the school last year in the third-year cla.ss,
and 6 are graduates of other colleges. In 1918 the school wiU be placed on a full professional standing
Five years will be required for a degree from the high school, the first two in college and the last three
in the School of Journalism. This will permit the addition of another year of professional study.
The total attendance grows steadily year by year and establishes the leading position of the
school among institutions of Its kind in this or any other country. The number attending is greater
In proportion to the number of journalists in the country than Is the number attending the law and
medical courses in Columbia University In proportion to the number of those practising law and
medicine. In September, 1913, the school entered Its new building, for which 5500,000 was pro-
vided by Mr. Pulitzer's bequest. The building Is excellently equipped In every way for training
In journalistic work, and contains a reference library, files of a hundred dally papers, American and
foreign, and a morgue of 400,000 newspaper clippings made under the supervision of the Director
during the last thirty years.
No step In professional education has attracted wider public attention or awakened a more
general approval In the American press. When Mr. Pulitzer proposed the school twelve years ago
Its plan, purposes and need were all challenged. From the announcement of the appointment In
February, 1912, of its Director, Talcott Williams, formerly of The New York World staff and for
38 years In active journalism, to its successful opening and full operation the school has commanded
the confidence of newspapers and journalists. One-third of Its teaching stafl of 25 have been la
active service on newspapers.
The plan of the school and its course of study were approved and at many points directed by an
Advisory Board of eleven journalists, including Mr. John Langdon Heaton, of the editorial staff of The
New York World; Mr. Ralph Pulitzer, President of the Press Publishing Company (The New York
World), and Mr. George S. Johns, editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The other journalists on this
Advisory Board, of which President Butler of Columbia University is a member, are S. B. Griffin, Springfield
Republican; Victor Fremont Lawson, Chicago Daily News; Charles Ransom Miller, New York Times; Edward
Page Mitchell, The Sun, New York; Melville Elijah Stone, Associated Press, New York; Charles H.Taylor,
Boston Globe, and Samuel Calvin Wells, Philadelphia Press.
The administrative work of the school Is conducted by an Administrative Board, composed
of President Butler; the Director, Talcott Williams; the Associate Director, Prof. John W. Cunllfle;
Frederick P. Keppel, Dean of Columbia College; William P. Trent, Professor ot English Literature;
Henry R. Seager, Professor of Political Economy; James T. Shotwell, Professor of History; Ashley
H. Thorndlke, Professor of English, and Charles A. Beard, Associate Professor of Politics.
While there are universities and colleges which give courses in various phases of journalism
and several which have schools of journalism, no other school has an endowment so large, beginning at
81,000,000 and enlarged by the final legacy of 81,000,000 from the Pulitzer estate; none has a course giving
60 much time to the solid study needed for the training of the journalist, and this has also the crown-
ing advantage of a metropolis like New York In which to train Its students In reporting by sending
them to see and to write upon events as they come In the life of a great city. The City Hall, the de-
partments and the regular newspaper assignments have all been used to train men In getting news
as well aa In writing It. Attendance on first-night performances Is employed In training for dramatic
criticism. From the second vear on, the students are under direction and correction, writing articles
on financial and business subjects, editorials, special articles, and in other fields of newspaper work.
The headquarters of the political parties in New York City have given opportunity for training In
National and State politics.
This practical training In the work of the journalist In the greatest news centre of the country
comes In the last two years, but of the four years' course four-fifths are devoted to the study of his-
tory, constitutional law, political science, economics, statistics, American and European literature,
etc • a mastery of cither French or German Is Insisted on. These studies follow the lines laid down
by Mr. Joseph Pulitzer in his plan for the school. They are taught with the comprehensive thor-
oughness only possible In a great university. The work and study required Is on a professional
Standard. Taking the technical work of reporting and their studies, the students of the school are
working as hard as in a newspaper office, covering the same range of subjects and writing under close
Bupervlslon and correction from men trained as journalists.

LITERATURE OF 1916.
BY FREMONT EIDER.
Tha book trade in fhis country reviTned in 1916 aiEtar ttoe slumT) of 1'914-15, the retail trade
beline especially wrosuerous. The book outuut was larger and ol a high level of quality, making
eelection doubly diflicult.
. . FICTION was one of tHie classes toi show imiproTeament, several new authors of promise being
intiTodiiced to tlie reaiding Dublic, and novels by foa-eign authors showing a marked increase. DRiAMA,
Shanks to thie Sliakeapeare centenai-y and Moving piotiure inlaivest, held its own. SPORTS ana
GAilES showed a large Liimber of titles. TRAVEL and DESCRIPTION was comparatively scant
this year, its place being taken by a veritable flood ot booiks on the WAR in all its vanioua
phases. There were several notable BIOGRAPHIES.
The following GOO odd titles out of some lil.O'OO puWi^ied in IQilO aim bo include 'the most
important, not only in tihe sense of liiavimgl more oir less enld^u■^ng value, but also because of their
popularity, possibly transient, but no less significant, as evidenced by sales on- repute. Wheire
choice was necessary, emijhasis has been laid on tlte jxipular and ^jractical, rather than the soholai-ly
end theoretical. Endeavor has been made, in other words, to list boolcs of legitimate interest toi
the stenographer as well os tlie economist, to itlia fairmier ns well as the reaidea- of belles-lethres.
Xew editions are seldom listed imless of notable ii'an>oilance. The classification fldoii>ted is a rougihi
adaptation of the Dewej- Decimal classification for books, which is in wide international libiraiy and
bibliograpliical use.

In 1897 the main collection was removed from the Capitol to the building erected for it under the Acts
of Congress approved April 15, 1886; October 2, 1888. and March 2, 1889, at a cost of 56,347,000 (limit by
law, 56,500,000), exclusive of the land, which cost 5585,000. The architects who furnished the original de-
signs were John L. Smlthmeyer and Paul J. Pelz. By the act of October 2, 1888, before the foundations were
laid, Thomas L. Casey, Chief of Engineers of the Army, was placed in charge of the construction of the
building, and the architectural details were worked out by Paul J. Pelz and Edward P. Casey. Upon the
death of Gen. Casey, In March, 1896, the entire charge of the construction devolved upon Bernard R. Green,
Gen. Casey's assistant, and under his superintendence the building was completed in February, 1897, opened
to the public November, 1897. The building occupies three and three-quarter acres upon a site ten acres
in extent at a distance of 1,270 feet east of the Capitol, and Is the largest and most magnificent library build-
ing in the world. In the decorations some forty painters and sculptors are represented — all American citizens.
The floor space is 326,195 square feet, or nearly eight acres. The book stacks including the new stack built
over the southeast interior court, contain about 100 miles of shelving, affording space for 3,540,000 octavo
volumes and 84,000 volumes of newspapers.

arship by the lending of books to other libraries for the use of Investigators engaged In serious research,
which it is not within the power or duty of the library in question to supply, and which at the time are not
needed in Washington.

Ro Is the name of the universal language constructed by Rev. Edward P. Foster of Marietta, Ohio.
The first publication — an eight-page outline — of the language was issued in 1906.
Ro uses the method technically known as a priori; that Is, it rejects all existing root words, whether of
Latin or any other language, and uses as a basis simply the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. These letters
It makes absolutely phonetic. No accents or diacritical marks are employed.
For the formation of words, Ro first analyzes ideas into their ultimate elements. Having completed
the analysis, it chooses an initial letter or initial syllable to designate one of these primary elements or general
concepts. Each added letter subdivides or particularizes so that the completed word represents an
Individual thought of the general signification denoted by the initial of the word. The initial letter repre-
sents, as it were, an army corps, the second letter a division of that corps, the third a brigade, the fourth
a regiment, the fifth a company, and the final letter the Individual soldier.
For example, Ro takes the initial "a" to denote pronoun; "ab" lor pronoun of the first person; "abl"
for this pronoun in the nominative case, "I;" "abiz," we; "abe," my; "abez," our; "abo," me; "aboz," us.
The Initial "e" denotes verb; "eb" infinitive mood; "eba," to be; "ebe," to become; "ebi," to make; "ebnl,"
to unmake; "ebo," to be made (passive voice). The initial "t" denotes time; "ta", definite period of time:
"tab," moment, second; "tac," minute; "tad," hour; "tada," morning hour; "tadab," 1 a. m.; "tadlb,
1 P. M.; "taf," day; "Tafab," Sunday; "tal," month; "Talab," January; "z" denotes number; "za," unit
column; "zab," one; "zac," two; "zad," three; "zaf," four; "zag," five; "zeb," ten; "zee," twenty; "zed,"
thirty; "zib," one hundred; "zibzedzaf," 134.
This method of word-buUding is chosen as the scientific method, the only one that is absolutely inter-
national, definite or adequate for the twentieth century.
THE PRINCIPAL LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD.
Theke are said to be 3,424 spoken languages or dialects in the world, distributed as follows:
America, 1,«24; Asia, 937; Europe, 587; Africa, 276.
The English language is spoken by more than 150,000,000 of people.
.Si)anisti by more than 55,000,000 of people.
Italian '^ " " 40.000.000 " ' ^^
Portuguese " " " 30,000,000"
German by more than 120,000,000 of people.
Russian ''^ " " 90.000,000 "
French " " " 60,000,000
The English language contains approximately 600,000 words. Of this total nearly one-half
consists of scientific terminology seldom met outside of text-books and of archaic, obsolescent or
obsolete terms.
Various estimates of the sources of English words have been made at different times. On the
basis of the Lord's Prayer, George Hickes calculated that nine- tenths of our words were of Saxou
origin. Sharon Turner's estimate was that the Norman were to the Saxon as 4 to 6. Trench com-
puted 60 per cent. Saxon; 30 per cent. Latin, including those received through French; 5 percent.
Greek, and 5 percent, other sources. Prof. W. AV. .Skeat in the recently published fourth edition of
his Dictionary, which contains approximately 20,000 words, shows the following sources:

As regards the number of words in the principal other languages no estimate of any practical value
has been made in recent years, ijut existing dictionaries show the following facts:
The vocabulary of the New Standard Dictionary of the English Language aggregates approximate-
ly 450,000 words.
Tiie German word-book (Kiirechner's Universal-Kouversatious-Lexlkon) contains not more than
300,000 words, including personal names.
Grimm's Dictionary of the German Language contains approximately 150,000 words; LIttre's
Dictionary of the French Language, 210,000 words; Dahl's Dictionary of the Russian Language,
140,000 words; Carlos deOchoa's Dictionary of the Spanish Language, 120,000 words; Petrocchi's
Dictionary of the Italian Language, 140,000 words.

CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE.
On December 14, 1910, Andrew Carnegie of New York transferred to a Board oJ Trustees
510,000,000 In 5 per cent, first mortgage bonds, the Income of which Is to be devoted to "hastening
the abolition of InternRtlonal war." The methods by which the annual income can best be expended
tor this purpose were left to be deternalned by the trustees. The Board of Trustees consists of the
loUowing members:
Elihu Root. John W. Foster. James Brown Scott.
Robert Bacon. Austen G. Fox. James L. Slayden.
Robert S. Brookings. George Gray. Oscar S. Straus.
Thomas Burke. Wiillam M. Howard. Charles L. Taylor.

Charles W. Eliot. George W. Perkins. Robert S. Woodward.
R. A. Franks. J. G. Schmldlapp. Luke E. Wright.
Arthur William Foster. _ . ^ ,j ^
The officers of the endowment are Hon. Elihu Root. President; Hon. Joseph H. Choate, Vice-President;
Dr. James Brown Scott, Secretary, and Hon. Charlemagne Tower, Treasurer. These officers have been
annually re-elected. The Executive Committee consists of the President, the Secretary, the Treasurer,
and Messrs. Butler, Fox, Montague, and Pritchett. The headquarters of the endowment Is at Nos. 2
and 4 Jackson Place, Washington, D. C. The trustees operate under a series of by-laws.
They have divided the work of the endowment Into three divisions, viz.: Division of Inter-
course and Education, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, Acting Director;
Division of Economics and History, Prof. John Bates Clark of Columbia University, Director; and
Division of Internationa! Law, of which Dr. Scott, the Secretary, is the Director.
The first division has established a European Bureau at 24 Rue Pierre Curie, Paris, of whlcn
M. Jules-Jean Prudhommeaux Is Secretary-General. A European Advisory Council has also been
established, of which Baron d'Estournelles de Constant Is the President.
This division has conducted its work of propaganda by co-operation with other existing peace
organizations in this country and in other countries; by a series of international visits of representa-
tive men to and from this country; and by a series of publications for gratuitous distribution, the
most Important of which thus far are "Some Roads Toward Peace," by Dr. C^harles W. Eliot, con-
taining observations and impressions In China and Japan in 1912; and the report of an international
commission appointed to conduct an Inquiry into the "Causes and conduct of the two Balkan wars.
The second division, the purposes of which are "to promote a thorough and scientific investiga-
tion and study of the causes of war. and of nractical methods to prevent and avoid it," works In
co-operation with a Committee of Research, consisting of seventeen of the leading economists of
Europe, Japan, and the United States, who have blocked out an elaborate schedule of researches
to be carried forward by well known students and professors. More than a hundred studies of this
character have been arranged for, and several have been published.
The Division of International Law has for its purpose "to aid In the development of international
law and a general agreement on the rules thereof, and the acceptance of the same among nations
to establish a better understanding of international rights and duties and a more perfect sense of
International justice among the inhabitants of civilized countries; to promote a general acceptance
of neaceable methods in the .settlement of international disputes." This division is now engaged
in the preparation of a collection of all known International arbitrations, and a companion work con-
sisting of all known arbitration treaties. It has also in process of preparation the following works: Cases
Heard Before the Permanent Court of Arbitration; Treatise in Spanish International Law; Statement of
Certain Principles of International Law; Decisions of Chief Justice Marshall Involving Questions of inter-
national Law; Decisions of National Courts Involving Principles of International Law; and a number or
other works, including publications in French of the following works: Lawrence — The Principles of Interna-
tional Law. Uszl—Lehrbuch des Voelkerrechts. Scott — The Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 arid 1907.
Trlepel — Voelkerrecht vnd Landesrecht. Westlake — International Lav. Kleen — Krigets Lagar. De Louter—
Het Slellig Voelkenrechl. The Institute of International Law has accepted its invitation to act as the ad-
viser of the division regarding the conduct and development of its work. The trustees have approved a plan
for the maintenance of a Summer or vacation school of international law at The Hague, of which teachers
and students of the subject from all countries may take advantage '
The main activities of the endowment are thus arranced on scientific lines, the results of the
activities and researches of the latter two divisions to be utilized and popularized as a part of the
propaganda of the first division. The plans of the trustees contemplate a world-wide international
co-operation in each branch of the endowment's work. While these plans have been seriously
Interrupted, and may be somewhat modified by the European war, the outbreak of that war enor-
mously emphasizes and illustrates the Importance and the necessity of its work. , . ,, .
The annual meeting of the trustees is held at Washington on the second Friday of April, and a
special meeting of the board occurs on the second Friday of November in each year.
The offices of the first two divisions are at 407 West One Hundred and Seventeenth Street,
New York City. The Division of International Law occupies the headquarters bunding of the
endowment in Washington. „ , , ,, , , ..,, t^i . ■
The endowment has publish°d to date: five editions of the Year Book, ten publications of the Division
of Intercourse and Education, four of the Division of Economics and History, twenty pamphlets and eleven
books of the Division of International Law. A list of these publications will be sent on requeat, addressed to
the Secretary, No. 2 Jackson Place, Washington, D. C.

THE CARNECIE HERO FUND.
In April, 1904, Andrew Carnegie created a fund of 85,000,000 for the benefit of the dependents of those
losing thehr lives in heroic effort to save their fellow men, or for the heroes themselves If injured only.
Provision was also made for medals to be given in commemoration of heroic acts.
The endowment known as "The Hero Fund" was placed in the hands of a commission composed of
twenty-one persons, residents of Pittsburgh, Pa., of which Charles L. Taylor is President, and F. M.
Wilmot, Secretary and Manager of the fund.
In his letter to the Hero Fund Commission Mr. Carnegie outlined the general scheme of the fund thus:
"To place those following peaceful vocations, who have been injured in heroic effort to save human life, in
somewhat better positions pecuniarily than before, until able to work again. In case of death, the widow
and children or other dependents are to be provided for until she remarries, and the children until they reach
a self-supporting age. For exceptional children, exceptional grants may be made for exceptional education.
Grants of sums of money may also be made to heroes or heroines as the commission thinks advisable — eacb
case to be judged on Its merits."
The fund applies only to acts performed within the United States of America, the Dommlon of Canada,
the Colony of Newfoundland, and the waters thereof, and such acts must have been performed on or after
April 15, 1904, and brought to the attention of the commission within three years of the date of the act.
Applications should be made by letter addressed to the manager, Oliver Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.
During the year 1916 the commission has awarded 121 medals — 101 bronze and 20 silver. In addition
to the medals, pensions amounting to 811,580 annually and also sums aggregating 881,495 were granted for
disablement benefits and for the dependents of heroes who lost their lives and for educational and other
special purposes. Pensions in force as of December 31, 1916, amount to $87,000 annually.

The social or community survey is described as an important means to a better democracy. The
survey Is shown to serve this end by informing the community upon community matters, and thereby pro-
viding a basis for intelligent public opinion. It is a school whose teaching is not confined to children ana
youth, but which aims to get its facts and message, expressed in the simple terms of household experience.
Before the whole people. It utilizes as many channels of education as possible.

ESPERANTO, THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE.
EsDeranto la an artlflclal language invented by the Russian Dr. L. L. Zameuhof, of Warsaw, Poland.
It has only one object lu view, namely, to serve as an International auxiliary language; It Is not In the least
Intended to replace tue national languages. The first book In the new language was published In 18S7.
The Esperanto words are mostly of Latin, but to some extent also of Anglo-German origin, so that
at the flrst glance Esperanto has the familiar appearance of a Roman language.
The great success of Esperanto, which Is now known and studied all over the world, Is chiefly due to the
facility with which It may be mastered. The pronunciation Is strictly phonetic, making the study of spelling
unuecessary. The grammar does not admit of any exceptions to the rules, and Is so logical and simple
that It may be learned completely In a few hours by any person who Is familiar with the grammar of hia
mother tongue. The vocabulary consists of about 2,500 root words, a lar^e majority of which la known
to any one whose language contains a great number of Latin roots — lor Instance, English.
In spite of this small number of root words Esperanto has been made rich In words and expressions
by the adoption of certain affixes and certain methods of word combination. By these simple and easy
ma"ns a considerable vocabulary may be obtained. Esperanto Is a well-sounding language when spoken.
Esperanto Is now used for all civilized purposes by many hundreds of thousands of persons In all
civilized countries. It made Its appearance In the United States In an organized form In 1905, when the
flrst society for Its study was formed In Boston, and this was followed soon afterward by societies In New
York and Philadelphia. It is now promoted by a large and flourishing national association, the "Esperanto
Association of North America."
Esperanto has a large literature, over a hundred periodicals. Including a number In the United States,
being published and a large and powerful "Universal Esperanto Association" maintains a regular system
of consulates all over the world, to facilitate the transaction of all kinds of legitimate business for Its mem-
bers by means of the common tongue. ^ , „ ,
t- International congresses of Esperantlsts have been held at Boulogne, Geneva. Cambridge, Dresden,
Barcelona, Washington, Antwerp, Cracow, Berne and San Francisco. Delegates representing the
Esperantlsts of forty different nations and languages have been in attendance.
The Esperantlsts of America have established in Boston an office from which maybe obtalnea
without charge, any desired Information of the movement. Address "Esperanto Office," West

THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
CECIL J. Rhodes, statesman and capitalist, who died at Cape Town, South Africa, March 26, 1902,
directed in his will, dated July 1, 1899, that a part of his fortune should be applied lor the creation of a
fund for the support of a certain number of scholarships covering a three years' course at Oxford University.
He directed that the selection of the recipients of this gift should be made as follows: From three to nine
scholars from each of the British Colonies, two from each State and Territory of the United States, or one
hundred in all. Mr. Rhodes desired that In awarding the scholarships account should be taken of different
qualities— literary and scholastic attainments, love of outdoor sports, strong, manly qualities such as courage,
generosity, kindness, etc., high moral character, and desire to serve in public affairs.
The agencies for final selection vary a good deal. Scholars from Cape Colony are chosen by the indi-
vidual schools to which the scholarships are especially assigned. In several of the Canadian provinces it
has been decided that an appointment shall be made In rotation by the leading universities. In most of
the States of the Union, In outlying colonies like Bermuda, Jamaica and Newfoundland, in provinces of
Canada, in New Zealand and the States of Australia, the final choice of the scholar is left in the hands of
a Committee of Selection. Great care has been taken in the constitution of these committees, as it has been
felt that on the wise and impartial exercise of their judgment depends more than upon anything else the
lull success of the scheme. ^ ^
The conditions regulating the award of scholarships in the American States provide that the candidates
Bhall have satisfactorily completed the work of at least two years in some college of liberal arts and sciences.
The upper age limit must be twenty-four years at the time of entering upon the scholarship at Oxford.
To be eligible the candidate must be a citizen of the United States, or the son of a citizen, and must be
unmarried. Each student receives an allowance of £300 a year, which is equivalent to SI. 500, payable in
quarterly Instalments, which is just enough to enable a man to pay the expenses of vacations as well as
terms. The flrst instalment is not payable until the student has actually gone into residence at Oxford,
60 he should go abroad with one or two hundred dollars in his possession.
The full number of scholarships, when all are filled, is, as at present, 189; and this number should be
maintained from year to year, vacancies being filled as the men complete their three years' course. The
last examination in the United States took place In October, 1915. The next qualifying examinations
Will be held In all States of the Union in October, 1917.
Hitherto scholars have been elected in all States of the Union in two successive years, while In each
recurring third year none was chosen. In the future scholars will be selected each year from 32 States.
The 48 States have for this purpose been divided into three groups (A, B and C) of sixteen each.
For the year 1916 scholars will be elected from groups A and B; for 1917 from groups A ana C; ana
lor 1918 from B and C, and subsequently in the same rotation year by year.
The qualifying examination, which is in essence the same as that for entrance Into Oxford University,
consisting of Latin, Greek and Mathematics, will be held in all the States each year.
The division of the States Into groups, for the purpose above mentioned, is as foUowa:

There were five annual German Scholarships which were created by a codicil to the will of 1899, scholars
lor which were appointed by the German Emperor. These scholarships were for three years and had an
annual value of £250. They have naturally stopped since the outbreak of hostilities. As they were
created by a codicil to the original will of Mr. Rhodes, the English Parliament can divert this fund witn*
out a^ectlng the other scholarships.

' NEW ,YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY. ""
ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDEN FOUNDATIONS.
Established by consolidation of the "Trustees of the Astor Library," the "Trustees of the
Lenox Library," and the "Tllden Trust," May 23, 1895, twenty-one trustees being chosen from the
Trustees of these corporations; In 1902 the number of Trustees was Increased to twenty-flve, of
which number the Mayor of the City of New York, the Comptroller, and the President of the Board
of Aldermen serve ex officio. The agreement of consolidation provided for the establishment and
maintenance of a free public library and reading room In the City of New York, with such branches
as might be deemed advisable for the continued promotion of the objects and purposes of these
several corporations.
The Trustees soon after consolidation In 1895 determined to pursue a liberal policy and to
create a great library system that would serve the needs of scholars and of the general reading public
as well. An act was passed by the Legislature and approved May 19, 1897, giving the city the
necessary authority to Issue bonds for the construction of a building on the present site and to contract
with the New York Public Library for Its occupancy. Carrere & Hastings were appointed architects
of the building on December 9, 1897. The corner-stone was laid November 10, 1902, and the building
was opened to the public on May 23, 1911.
The building Is In the form of a rectangle 390 feet long and 270 feet deep, built around two
Inner courts, each about 80 feet square; It has a cellar, basement, and three upper floors. The area
covered Is about 115,000 square feet, the cubic contents 10,380,000 cubic feet. The material Is
largely Vermont marble (375,000 cubic feet), bonded In brick walls. There are seats for 768 readers
in the main reading room and seats In other public rooms bring the total capacity up to 1,760. In
the main stack room are 331,530 feet (63.3 miles) of shelving, with capacity for about 2,500,000
volumes. Book stacks In the special reading rooms amount to about 70,000 feet, with capacity
for about 500.000 volumes.
The building fronts on Fifth Avenue, looking east. On the basement floor, with entrance from
Forty-second Street, are the rooms for circulation of books, for children's reading, for newspapers,
a library school and Us osnces, and public telephones; on this basement floor, with entrance on
Fortieth Street, are the shipping rooms and the printing and binding ofTjces. On the first floor are
the business offices of the circulation department, the oflices of the bursar, exhibition rooms, and reading

On March 12, 1901, Mr. Andrew Carnegie offered to give 35,200,000 to the city for the con-
struction and equipment of free circulating libraries upon condition that the city should provide
the land and agree to maintain the libraries when built. This communication was submitted to
the Mayor on March 15, and on April 26 an act was passed authorizing acceptance of the gift by
the city upon the terms Imposed by Mr. Carnegie. An agreement with the city was executed on
July 17, the library acting as agent for Mr. Carnegie, under which forty-two buildings are to be
erected In Manhattan, the Bronx, and Richmond (later Increased to fifty), on sites to be selected
and purchased by the city with the approval of the library, the buildings to be leased to the library
and to be under Its control. The city agrees to provide adequate yearly maintenance, 10 per cent,
of the cost of each building being agreed upon as a minimum.
On November 7, 1901, an agreement was made with three firms of architects In New York to
prepare plans and speclflcatlons for these branch libraries. On June 6, 1902, an Issue of bonds for
§250,000 was authorized for purchase of sites. The first Carnegie building, known as the YorkvlUe
branch, was opened December 13, 1902, at 222 East Seventy-ninth Street; the second, providing
a new home for the Chatham Square branch, was opened November 2. 1903, at 33 East Broadway,
By the end of 1916 thirty-seven branches had been opened under this contract.

GO-OPERATIVE EDUCATIONAL WORK OF THE BUREAU OF NATURALIZA-
TION AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE UNITED STATES IN
THE EDUCATION OF FOREICN-BORN RESIDENTS.
The Naturalization Laws of the United States are
administered by ttie Federal Bureau of Naturaliza-
tion in Wastiington City, wliich, by the act of June
29, 1906. provides for a uniform rule for tlie natu-
ralization of aiiens throughout the tJnited States.
Congress has placed with this bureau the adminis-
trative control of all matters relating to the naturali-
zation of aliens, under the direction of the Secretary
of Labor, of the United States Department of Labor,
maldng the Commissioner of Naturalization, or, in
his absence, the Deputy Commissioner of Naturali-
zation the administrative ofHcer in charge of this
Federal administration.
The public schools throughout the United States
co-operate with the b\ireau by operung evening
classe'j to train the uninformed candidate for citi-
zenshiD in American government. The bureau fur-
nishes tliem the names and addresses of the foreign-
ers who declare their Intention to become citizens,
and who petition for naturalization, for the purpose
of bringing these prospective citizens Into contact
at the earliest moment with the Americanizing in-
fluences of the public school system. By insuring a
comprehension of the true spirit of our institutions
on the part of the aliens admitted to citizenship the
bureau strives to mal^e their acquisition serve as a
Btrengthenlng Influence on the social, political,
moral, and industrial qualities of these institutions.
Through reports from various public schools
where classes in citizenship have been maintained
lor aliens seeking naturalization, the bureau dis-
seminates information regarding these courses
throughout the public school system. It thereby
acts as a clearing house for information bn civic In-
stniction. It is endeavoring, through the public
schools of the United States, to stimulate interest
throughout the Nation in the preparation for citizen-
ship responsibilities of all candidates for naturaliza-
tion.
The Bureau of Naturalization has a field service
extending throughout the United States composed
of Naturalization Examiners. The entire country
Is divided into eleven districts with a central head-
quarters for each district, presided over by Chief
Naturalization Examiners. Through these officers
the Bureau of Naturalization examines all candidates
for cltizensliip as to their attachment to the princi-
ples of the Constitution of the United States and
their compliance with the requirements of the Natu-
ralization Law. These Naturalization Examiners
appear in the courts exercising naturalization juris-
diction, and there repr:sent the United States at
the hearing of the petitions for naturalization by
the Judges of the courts. These examiners also ad-
vise the general public in response to personal in-
quiries, and aid the public school authorities In their
co-operation with the Federal Bureau in Washing-
ton in its national educational movement.
The Bureau of Naturalization in Washington fur-
nishes all of the naturalization supplies to the clerks
of the naturalization courts. There are nearly 2.500
Federal and State courts that naturalize aliens.
The clerks of these courts send to the bi'.reau in
Washington, on the first working day of each month,
the duplicat&s of all naturalization papers issued
and executed by them during the preceding month.
This represents over 40,000 foreigners. Including
the wives of those who declare their intention, or
take out their first papers, and those who petition
for naturalization, or secure their second papers.
In all, the names of something over 500,000 foreign-
ers come before the Bureau of Naturalization each
year. Last year 207,935 declared their intention,
and 108,009 filed their petitions for naturalization.
Of these latter 93,911 v;ere admitted to citizenship.
With each of these foreigners who Individually took
steps to become a citizen of the United States there
was on an average of one foreigner who became a
citizen by reason of the family ties. The wives and
minor cliildren born abroad and living in the United
States become citizens in this way. During the last
year there were, therefore, upon this basis, 631,888
foreigners who came before the bureau to secure
their first and final papers. During the ten years of
Federal supervision there have been 1,726,544 who
declared their intention, 615,473 who were admitted
to citizenship, and 85,996 who were denied admis-
sion to citizenship. In the first three years of Fed-
eral supervision 5,921 were denied. These denials
aroused public Interest, and through the interven-
tion of the Naturalization Examiners citizenship
classes were organized as early as 1909 In various
parts of the country.
The Judges of the naturalization courts agreed
to send to these citizenship schools the candidates
who were found Ineligible through a failure to un-
derstand our governmental institutions.
In April, 1914, the plan of securing a nation-wide
educational co-operation on the part of the public
schools with the Bureau of Naturalization In citizen-
ship preparedness was formulated in that bureau.
With the opening of the school year in 1915 the co-
operation of the public schools In every Important
city in the country had been secured by the bureau.
This has been extended until the public schools of
every State in the Union, representing over 750
cities and towns, have volunteered to co-operate
through the organization of evening classes m citi-
zenship to teach the adult foreigner citizenship re-
sponsibilities. The bureau has prepared individual
cards for aiding the public schools In maintaining
their records, and sent the names of 223,111 for-
eigners— men and women — to the public schools In
these places. It also sent person.ally addressed let-
ters to these men and women, urging the advan-
tages of the public schools, both in securing better
jobs and in the establishment of American homes.
It also secured information from the public schools
engaged in teaching foreigners, showing the various
methods pursued by them in this instruction. From
this it caused to be prepared and issued a pamphlet
entitled "An Outline Course in Citizenship." Thou-
sands of copies of this outline have been distributed
for the use of the teachers of the foreign classes,
and also in the lilgh and upper graded schools among
the native-born American children.
The bureau is now engaged in the preparation of
a text-book for the candidate for citizenship in the
public schools which is intended for free distribu-
tion to those who take out their first papers and en-
ter the public schools.
Through the medium of the public schools and
the Bureau of Naturalization, those alien friends
who come forward for citizenship are becoming so
enlightened that their true Americanization Is re-
sultant.
OCCUPATIONS OF COLLEGE GRADUATES.
The United Sta 3s Bureau of Education In May, 1913, made public statistics showing the occupa-
tions of college graduates, from 1G42 to 1900, from returns furnished by thirty-seven colleges and
universities. Taking three periods a century apart gave these percentages:

NEWSPAPERS.
The daily newspaper, according to the census
definition, is a publication issued on each of the
secular days of the week, Sunday editions being ex-
cluded. A morning and an evening paper issued by
the same plant are counted as two papers.
A total of 2,580 dailies was reported for 1914, rep-
resenting a slight decrease as compared with 2,600
in 1909. The aggregate circulation of the aathes in
1914 was 28,436,030, representing an increase of
17.4 per cent, as compared with the 1909 circulation.
During the semi-decade a number of publishers of
both morning and evening papers suspended publi-
cation of one or the other of their editions: in several
Instances dailies were consolidated: In others the
daily, after an experiment, retired into the weekly
field whence it came, and other daUies disappeared
without transformation.
The number of Sunday papers published in the
United States in 1914 was 570, as compared with
520 In 1909; and their combined circulation in the
later year, 16,445,820, represented an increase of
23.2 per cent, as compared with the corresponding
figure for the earlier year.
The number of weekly newspapers and periodicals
reported for 1914, 15,166, shows a slight increase
as compared with the corresponding number in 1909,
15,097. The 1914 circulation of such publications
was 50,454,738, an Increase of 23.6 per cent, as com-
pared with 1909.
There were also reported for 1914 84 trl-weekly
newspapers, with an aggregate circulation of 549,-
495, representing increases of 15.1 per cent, and 63.8

THE ALFRED B. NOBEL PRIZES.
The Swedish scientist Alfred B. Nobel, the Inventor of dynamite, died in 1896, bequeathing his for-
tune, estimated at 39,000,000, to the founding of a fund, tlie interest of whicli should yearly be distributed
to those who had mostly contributed to the benefit of manlilnd improvement during the year immediately
proceeding. The interest is divided in five equal shares, given away, "One to the person who In the domain of
physics has made the most important discovery or invention, one to the person who has made the most im-
portant chemical discovery or improvement, one to the person who has made the most important discov-
ery in the domain of physiology or medicine, one to the person who in literature has produced the most
distinguished woris of an Idealistic tendency, and one to the person who has promoted most or best the
fraternity of nations, and the abolishment or diminution of standing armies, and the formation and increase
of peace congresses."
The prizes for physics and chemistry are awarded by the Swedish Academy of Science, that for physi-
ology and medicine by the Caroline Institute (the faculty of medicine in Stockholm), that for literature
by the Swedish Academy in Stockholm, and the peace prize is awarded by a committee of five persons
elected by the Norwegian Stortliing.
In accordance with these statutes the awarders of the prizes (the four above named institutions) elect
fifteen delegates for two consecutive years, the Academy of Science electing si.x and the other prize awarders
tliree each. These delegates elect for two consecutive years four members of the Board of Directors of the
Nobel Foundation, which board, exclusively consisting of Swedes, must reside in Stocliholm. A fifth mem-
ber, the President of the board, is nominated by the Government. The Board of Directors has in its care
the funds of the institution, and hands yearly over to the awarders of the prizes the amount to be given
away. The value of each prize is on an average 840,000. The distribution of the prizes takes place every
year on December 10, the anniversary of Mr. Nobel's death. Full information can be obtained from
"Nobelstiftelsens Styrelse" (the Board of Directors of the Nobel Foundation), Stockholm, Sweden.

A7i Progress in the United States.
ART PROGRESS IN THE UNITED STATES.
BY HENRY TYRRELL.
The greatest significance of the recent nation-
wide awakening of our art miuseums and iuAti-
turtes to ithe work of edrucational extension lies in
their iateaTMietation of the word "Art" in a prac-
tical vocational sense. It has come to involre
not simply yaimting, sculpture and ai'dhiteoture
but all the allied craifts and industries collec-
tdveiy. in w^ich all the people have p'ajt or in-
terest. TIm artistic wealth of great coUeotions
tlius goes back into cii'culatiou in the busiuess
o^ everyday life, out of which oTiginally it grew.
In tba new Renaiseanc©, wliich tliis movement
forecasts, ail the arts oi design, formi and color
will be applied aa->ts. as they were in liliuope in
Che magnificently creative Middle Ages. AU-eady,
painting is turning iirom desultory easel .pictureB
to real mural and interior decura,uon, and sculp-
ture's highest goal is archlteo;iu-al adomin'ont,
ratlher than the (restiricted or futile independent
Btatue. 'I'lhe principal public museums, notably
those of New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Buffalo.
Minneapolis. Cleveland. Toledo and San Fran-
cisco, are putting their main resources into voca-
tional teaching, in direct and ever closer co-
oparaibion with the universities and HJUblic schools.
The Metoxjipolitan Museum of Art. New York
City, has compiled and pubQished a forty-six-page
pamphlet on "Ait Education." with a ILst of
BOO different prafes.sions, trades and lines of
coimivarcial occupation requiring knowledge _ of
drawing, design, modelling oi' color; also .specify-
ing the schools (numbering eigliteen in iNew York
City alone and about 200 throughout the United
States) wheire an aggregate of ;!2.6G3 artisan-
students find specialized instruction in these
blanches. And this is relatively but a .small be-
ginning as co(m(pared with actual economic needs,
at a tim« of unprecedented dearth of expert labor
in those productive industries into which art, in
the broad sense here defined, eniters.
Ameuican airchitecture in tiie last ivio or tliree
decades has undergone au evolution more remark-
able than that in any other country or period.
In the commercial "sky-sorape-r" of Manhattan.
as typified by the soaring Renaissance- Gothic
swiaptation in the Woolworth tower, it has given
to the world a new order of building oonse<;rat&d
no less to aesthetic beauty than to practical util-
ity. It is fitting, therefore, that the country's
IxrincLpal architectural ait exhibition, that given
annually by the iNew York Aircliitectural League,
should occupy itself maJnly with the assembling
of such drawings, plans, models, yhotographs,
sculptures, mural paintings, interior decorations
and schemies foir tihei treatment of landscape set-
tings or accessories as illustrate and encourage
the harmonious alliance of all the mutually re-
lated building arts. Looking to the same ulti-
mate goal is the current work and enteriirise of
such societies of national scope as the American
Institute of Arcfliitects, tlie Beaux Arts Archi-
tects, the American Academy in IWme and tlie
Soliool of Architecture of Columbia University.
In November through tlie initiative of the Ma.ssa-
chiisetts Institute of Technology, 'ilie Boston So-
ciety of Architects. Architectuirall Club. Landscaiie
Architects and Society of Arts and Crafts held
a joiut exihiibition of thejr allied arts in the lib>-
toric Rogers Building. Boylston Street, Boston.
Sculpture's noteworthy advance is marked by
the an-chitectural use of statuary on an heroic
scale on su'.fti important public buildings as Uio
New York Public Ijibrary, the Museum of the
Brooklyn Institute of A<rts and Sciences and the
House wing of the Federal Capitol at "Washing-
ton, with its recently finished marble petlimont,
"America Urging Peace." by Paul W. Bartlett;
by Christian W. Feigenspan's .presentation to tlie
City of Newark, N. J., of J. Masse? Rhind's
fuS-size bronze and marble copy of Verrocchio's
ecfuesti-ian statue of Bartolommeo Colleoni, tlie
Veneitian original of which ranks as the noblest
monument of its kind known to the modern
world, and by the unprecedented exhibition of
conteoHpanary American sculpture held under the
auspicea of the National ScuWure Society in
the Alibright Art Gallery of Buffalo. N. Y. This
new sculpture salon showed a selection of 400
objects from (he Panama- Pacific Exposition, to
wliich were added an equal number of works so-
licited especially for the occasion.
i'ainting in America, as elsewhere, ia in a
state of cihaotic. almost riotous, confusion. One
immediate cause of this, undoubtedly, is reactioo
to the lonse teeling and general unrest of the
tinses. But the radical reason is that a replace-
ment oif old. outworn and inadequate conventions
by a new and vigorous regrowth miakes the pres-
ent (period a critical 'tuniing jioint in art's prog-
ress. In even a greatei' degree than sculpture.
Minting now tends toward the arrisan side of ita
develoipiment. which affects at once techniqae.
medium and tttie general spirit of comiposition.
There is a marked revival of fresco, tempeou,
sgiaffito and decorative panel work in varied
styles, indicating the approaching decline ol
pseudo mural painting on canvas, put in place
after the manner of wall iiaper, and not in any
integral sense related to the architectural spaces
which, it is meauit to complete as well as to
cover. Ill aestilietio aim and spiritual vision,
painters to-day seem to be broadly divided in;o
academic conservatives on the one hand and law-
less reactionaries on the other. The former in-
trench thercKelves with the old masters, behinu
fixed scholastic wadkions of the past, and con-
tinue to praotlse painiting as a jwrely objective,
imitative art. controlled by the inflexible laws of
an exact science. The so-called modernists re-
ject the cumbrous, archaic symbollism of classio
and m.ediaevQl art as inadequate and inappro-
priate to the exjiression of the eager, restles.?,
scientific spirit and eUiotional intensity of the
twentieth century. Art. t'hey insist, can have no
vital force unless it is the direct outgrov/th and
utterance of its time. Therefore, under varioaa
j>ro'Paganda of "post-im'pressiouLsm," "cubism,"
"futurism." ".^'nthesism, " "vorticism" and the
like gi'oups of the younger men have experimented
boldly oftentimes ra.shly. with the teclmical sub-
tleties of ■lig'Iit. color. Qtmosipihere, per3pe<;tive.
pattern, movement, rhythm, mass-form and inter-
felated .^pacing, in the liope of achieving BO'iie
new and more effective kind of pictorial expres-
sion than that which merely copies the outward
physical aspect of things. The impre.ssion whicU
they woukl convey in their art is abstract, dy-
namic and m'jnt.al rattier than concrete, statio
and optical. They have not yet reached their
goal, to the extent of producing a recognized mas-
terpiece, thouffh the effects of the new teaching
a.i« aipparent everywhere, even in the a/.;adeQij
exhibitions, the art auction sales and the dealers'
galleries.
Commercially, the last seiason was a p^o.^pt;roaa
one. as a v/hole, for a.rt. CircunMances hafe
combined, of late years, to make New York the
world's clearing liouse for iiictures and art ob-
jects of every description. The last metro'polibaa
season's aggregate auction .salc» of painitiriga
alone amoimted to over .S'l.OOO.OOO,. this clasaifi-
catiion taking in such significant items as the
celebiated Blakelock ".Moonlight" at .S'JO.OOO and
George Fuller's "Romany Girl" at .$10,000. The

was feirched by "The Gale." one of .Winslow

Academy nineteen T'aintings, two pieces of sculp-
ture find tv/o miiniatures v/cre sold for a total of
$27,700 — one of the paintings. Horatio WaJker's
"De Profundis," bringing .510,000, Notwithsba.nd-
ing the overwhelming rivalry of European artists
and the una>recedented influx of antique and mod-
ern art of all kinds, due to war conditions, Amer-
ican art during the pant year Jia.s come into ita
ovm as never btfore. That the pro:iperity is sau-
stanfial and making for periuanenoy is attes'ted
bv the face that the New York art sales are at-
tracting from all sections of the country a new
class of buyers, conservative yet independent,
equipped with amiple means, and et the same
time restrained by a diacrimination and soubO

EDUCATIONAL DRAMATIC LEAGUE.
The Educational Dramatic I eague was organized in 1913 to give assistance to amateur clubs in churches,
settlements, schools, and other organizations and to unrelated groups of young people. In order to bring the
work of such clubs to a higher standard of literary and entertainment value, to combine education and
self-expression with recreation.
The league is doing this by giving the clubs special advice and aid to meet their Individual needs In
the selection of good plays, prompt-books, costume-plates, and costumes, and by Instructing teachers In
the best educational method of producing plays, or supplying clubs with competent directors. For the
younger children classes have been formed in story-telling and story-playing.
A reference library of plays and general draniatic literature is at the disposal of members.
The league considers the public perfornnance of a play but the smallest part of the work, and that the
study of plays furnishes an Interesting means of teaching literature, English, diction, bearing, and the cor-
rect management of a production.
The league's object is national, and every dramatic club of any kind, whether in New York or else-
where, is eligible to become a member. Annual dues, S2 and S5.

MUSIC.
BY MAZIB E. CUEMBNS.
The general material Drosoerity which has
come to the Nation will, from all indications,
contribute to artistic develooment. In music
eapecialty is there continued and erowing evidence
of improved taste oni the nart of both oroducer
and patron. The Metronolitan Ooera Comoany
began its ninth season on the evening of
November 13. to work thrcneh a brilliant oro-
(51'amnie to extend over a season of twenty-three
weeks. On the concert stace there waa also a
brilliant orosoectus from the concert manaEers.
while the standard orchestras were iust as well
advanced in their instrimiental music.
In the operatic prospectus three novelties were
listed. "Les Pecheura de Perles." by Bizet, in
French: "InhiKenie Auf Tauris." bv Gluck. in
Uerman. and "The Oanterbm'y Pilerims." by
Reginald de Koven. in English. Mr. de Koven's
composition is new and will have its first presenta-
tion at tlie Metropolitan. It is composed to the
libretto of Percy Mackaye and is. of course, a
modernization of Geoffrey Chaucer's quaint poem.
"Les Pecheurs de Perles" ("The Pearl Fishers")
was produced first in 1863. and while perhaps not
Bizet's first opera, was the first he composed
when he was free of school and material environ-
ment. The story of the opera is not a very
serious one. It tells of Zurga. the chief of the
Cingalese pearl fishers, and his closest friend.
Nadir, falling simultaneously in love with an
unknown maiden of Kandy. To protect their
friendship they flee from her charms. The pearl
fishers are under the protection of a veiled
virgin. Leila, who. perched upon a high rock,
sings while the:!' work. Nadir recognizes in Leila
the maid he and Zurga had loved in Kandy.
She recognizes him and they sing -a lovo duet,
she thus neglecting her duty as the pro-
tectress of the fishers. A great storm comes
UD and the pearl fishers, investigating, find
the two lovera together. Zurga. in fury.
sentences both to death, but. approaching
Leila, he sees on her neck a necklace he had given
years before to a child who had saved his hfe.
He thereupon decides to permit the lovers to
escape and plans to fire the fishers' village. While
the fishera are busy with the fire Ziu-ga sends
Nadir and Leila away in a boat, but is caught
in this act of treason and falls by the knife of
the high priest, while the lovers sail away.
This opera was chosen as the attraction for
the opening night of the season. Frieda Hemoel
singing the part of LeUa. Caniso that ot Nadir.
Giuseope de Luoa that of Ziu^a and Leon Rothier
that of Nourabad. Georgio Polacco conducted.
The opera was beautifully presented and sung and
was so warmly received by the splendid audience
that thronged the great auditoriiun that it waa
assured of a regular place in the repertoire.
"Iphigenie Auf Tauris" had its premiere at a
matinee on Saturday. November 25. It. too. was
brilliantly successfiU. so much so that there was
general wonder whv it had not been given before.
It had its first presentation in Paris in 1779.
Though similar in style to "Orfeo," "Iphigenie
Auf Tauris" has more color and a contrast in
musical values that relieves it from the occasional
monotony of "Orfeo." It is imauestionably an
operatic masterpiece, and now that it has beer,
heard it is sure of repetitions. In its premiere
the principal parts were sung by Melanie Kurt.
Oarl Braun. Johannes Sembach and Hermann
Weil, .\rtur Bodanzky conducted with rare skill
and iudgTOent of values.
The Gluck opera., as its name indicates.
is based on the old mythological tale.
Iphigenie. daughter of Agamemnon. , was to
be sacrificed to appease Diana, angered be-
cause Agamemnon had killed the favorite
etag of the gooBess. At the last moment Diana
relented and carried Iphigenie to Tauris. where
she was appointed to sei-ve as a priestess. Tne
scene of the opera is laid m Tauns, whither
Orestes brother of Iphigenie. and his friend,
Pylades go to carry off the statue of Diana.
They are captured bv the Scythians and condemned
to death. Iphigenie had previously, in a dream,
seen her father being murdered hy her mother
and herself stabbing Orestes through the neart.
She did not recognize her brother when he was
brought before her. and she questioned the two
Greek strangers for news of her parents. Finally
she offered to spare the life of one on condition
he would carry a letter to her sister, tlectra.
The two friends contended as to who should thus
be^ spared, each wishing to remain for the sac-
rifice while his friend escaped. In the end
Iphigenie decided Pylades should carry the letter
and Orestes be slain. Just as she is about to
plunge the saciificial knife into him. however, an
exclamation he makes causes her to recognize him
as her brother and she withholds her hand. The
King of Tauris. furious at the bargain which is
allowing P.vlades to escape, orders both Orestes
and Ipliigenie put to death, whereupon Pylades
stabs the King «)nd terrifies the Scythians by his
bravaiT. Then Diana again intervenes, orders
the Scythians to turn over the statue to Orestes,
releases Iphigenie from her thraldom and orders
her to return to Greece with Orestes and Pylades.
In addition to the novelties and revivals, the
season is made up by reproductions of operas
which have become popvdar favorites under the
■present regime at the Metropolitan Opera House.
The annual addition of new operas to the reper-
toire has now made it perhaps the mosi compre-
hensive and complete which is being produced by
any company of singers in the world, oomorismg.
as it does, the work of composers of every
school and of every form of expression. Another
very striking feature of the management's con-
temporary and future plan is the development
of American singers. In the long list of prin-
cipals now under engagement are the followinu
.imerioans: Soprani. .\nna Case. Vera Curtis.
Minnie Egener. Alice Everaman. Geraldine Farrar.
Rita Fomia. Mabel Garrison. Odette Le i.'"onteinay.
Edith Maison. Alice Nielsen. Marie Rappold and
Marie Sundelius: mezzo-soprani and contralti.
Mariska Aldrich. Sophie Braslau. Louise Homer.
Kathleen Howard. Florence Mulford. LUa
Robeson: tenor. Paul Althouse: baritone. Clar-
ence WhitehiU: bassi. Ai-thiu- Middleton. Basil
Ruysdael. Henri Scott.
The immense growth in the general anneal of
opera and classic music and of the spread of
musical education and understanding is proved by
the throngs which seek admission to the "popidar
price" performances. The first of these for the
1916-17 season was given on the night of Satur-
day. Nov. 18. v\ith "Aida." when the author-
ities bad to ordei- the discontinuance of the sal&
of even simple admissions, while scores outside
were still clamoring to get in.
The second performance of the season was
"Tristan und Isolde." November 16. with Melanie-
Kiu-t as Isolde. Urlus as Tristan and Louise
Homer as BMngaene.
Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier" was brilliantly-
given November 18. sung by the same cast as
last year, with the exception of Miss Mason, who.
as Sophie, gave a charming impersonation.
The iRussian opera. "Prince Igor." was the at-
traction at the matinee November 19 and "Aida' '
at the popular price performance in the evening,
with Paul Althouse taking Luca Botta'e place in.
singing the principal tenor role.
Claudia Muzio. a new soprano, made a most
successful debut at the Metropolitan Opera.
December 4. Despite the nervousness pitural to
a first American appearance. She eave s" :h. immia-
takable evidence of artistic aualitv as to compel
spontaneous applause. She chose the itle role in
Puccini's "Tosca." a part ■a.dmu'ably united, to her-
strong. Ivric soprano voice.
Other novelties and revivals to be produced
during the season are Delibes's "Lakme." Doni-
zetti's "L'Elisir d'.^more." Massenet's Thais''
Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaso" and Zandonai s
"Francesca da Rimini." There were aiso per-
formances of "Parsifal" and an afteraoun cycle
of Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelimgen.

dined to ermnble and to feel that the manage-
ment had not shoiro aa great enterprise ae it
miEht hare clone in the production, of new
CQOT^oaitions. OnJv two were wroduced in the
season. "Prince leor." by the Kussian comooser
Bo>odine. and "Goyescas." by Granados. con-
sidered the best of Spain's modern oouioosei's.
"Prince Igor" did not entirely nlease. while
"Goyescas" was regarded by most stuaents as
being merely a collection of nianofoa-te comDOsi-
tions. "Prince Jgor" served an educational
tJUTDoae and the one fact that it eave oopor-
tunity for the introdmotion of the Tartar bailet
mueic .iiistitied its production. It was a collection
of episodes, de^'oid of dramatic consistency, which
seems typical of Russian operatic composition.
As to "Goyescas." its sole interest seemed to
lie in its Spanish color and in the fact that it
served to introduce the work of its composer and
thus eive American music lovers an opportunity
to estimate the measure of Spanish composition.
During the season there were several "revivals,
a term applied by the Metropolitan Opera Com-
pany to any work which it has not produced
within thx'ee or four seasons. These were the
noted Saint^Saens's work. "Samson et Dalila;
Flotow's "Marta." Verdi's "Rigoletto." Bellini's
"La Sonnambula" and "Der WiderspaenstiKen
Zaehmimg" ("The Tamine of the Shrew"), by
Goetz. Of these. "Marta." -svith ita smooth and
steady flow of melody, was one of the season s
most distinct sxiccesses. though the lovers of
modem music were inclined to shrua their
shoulders over it. "Rigoletto" ranked . next.
"The Taming of the iShrew" ranked last in in-
terest and popularity. . ..
Most of the new principals heard durme the
season proved disappointing. A striking exception
•was Giuseppe de Luca. aa Italian baritone with
a wonderfully sympathetic voice and an art so
rare as to rouse enthu.siasm. The new German
conductor. Artur Bodanzky. attained a consider-
able measure of success.
Louise Homer was welcomed back to the
Metropolitan on March 13 as .\mneris in "Aida. '
She assumed the role of Dalila for the first time
in America in the repetition of "Samson _ et
Dalila" and eave u fulLv capable interpretation
of that role.

brought the society into beine. Hill was a vio-

I>ani«l Schlessinser. one of the first eenuinely

lioder. one of the founders of the society, con-
ducted the. first oerformance iu the United States
of Beethoven's Ninth SymohoaY at a concert of
the society May 20. 1846. In the society's first
season three concerts were eiven. For the suc-
ceeding sixteen yell's four regular concerts were
given, and for the ne.xt ten .years there were five
per season. From the twenty-sixth -nntil the
fifty-sixth season six concerts were given, and
in the fifty-sixth season the number was in-
creased to eight. Though there were but three
concerts in the first season, there were five con-
ductors. Ureli Corelli Hill. H. C. Timm. Mr.
Aloers. Alfred Boucher and Georee Loder. In

of the season, however, was John Galswort'hy's
powerful propaganda drama. "Justice." at the
Oandler ADril 3. Dealinu with prison reform
and the failure of conventional justice when
applied to first offenders, tlie play reached Nevr
York at the -psychoIoRical moment and met with
instan't Buocesa. John Baaarmore, irho (had
liiBherto been idewtified witih Hgliit comiedy roles,
instanitly established himself in a distiuRuished
poeitJMi among a«itoi\s of wxn-& seiiious roles by his

that extent, at least, of managers' claims that
they Ihad to produce poor or indiffei-eat iJda.ya be-

because London had not become ejuthoisia.stic
over "Justice" when it was produced there, there
was a lapse of six j-eais befoa'e i't was vieaifcured

Mirs. Fiske chose for hen- Tetum to tihe .stage
a. nlaj called "Erstwhile Susan" (167 times) at
the Gtaiety. Though a rather oi-diuary play, it
enjoyed a bi'ilUant success, mainly becan.se of the
excellence of Mrs. Fiske's perfonnance. The play
was a dramatization of Helen U. .Martin's nO'vel
"Bamabetta," and told the stoi-y of how a self-

Augustus Thomas got away from- the meta-
pQiysicai trend which has marked his work in

virile rein of his early success. It was a ■^tiirring
melodrama of lAmericau Aaimy life, called "Kio
Grande." M was seen ait the Empire April 4.
(55 times.)
E. H. Sothei'n began .hde farewell season with
*'The Two Virtues." which was very ruccessful
for a time. His a-avivals of "Lord Oimdreairy"
and "David Gaimick." howevei-. failed to divert
public attention from the siilcndid new plays.
He completed his season with "If I Were King."
April 29. at the Shubert. It aroused exceptional
interest.
The outatanding feature of the Shakespettjian
Tercentenarj' was the transfer of Sir Herbeit
Tree's Shakespedan fcdtunal to New York. His
gllitbering production of "Hena-y VIII." on Mairoh
14 at the Nmv ,.\mstei'dam. in whidh he played
Cardiiiial Wolse^'. enjoyed tilie greatest popular
favor throaigih nine weelcs. In "The Mea-dhant of
Venice." May 8. he sacrificed much of the play's
poetry to panorama, but it was almost as cor-
dially received. (20 times.) "The Merry Wives of
Windsor." given May 24. completed a moat suc-
cessful season. (10 times.)
Meanwhile the native actors paid theu- tribute
to the memory of the great dramatic poet by pro-
ductions of higli merit. James K. Hackett pro-
duced "Macbeth.'' though his portrayal of the
title role did not appeal with great force to the
critics. His prodiiction of ''The -Merrj' Wives of
Windsor." however, met with great success. An
accident prevented Mr. Hackett from caiTying out
his plan to play Falstaff. and Thomas Wise,
called in at the last minute, portrayed the bluff
old braggart with exceptional skill.
In striking ccmti'ast to these two Shakesi^earian
endeavors was the production of the seldom seen
"The Tempest" in the Elizabethan manner.
Thus handled, under the archaic conditions for
which it was written, it was possible to use the
entire text without the use of pictuj^ed effects.
The contrast proved that the modern pictiu-e stage
is not adapted to geuiuinely imaginative p»-oduc-
tions of Shakespeare's worlds.
The general tendency toward the offer of a
higher grade of attraotions which began to govern
the theatre managers in the preceding season
seemed to hold its impetus when the new season
opened in the FaD. or perhaiw it would be better
to sav when it was resumed after a very brief
let^O in the Summer. It used to be that the
new season opened on Labor Day. apparently by
common consent, but the Summer stay-at-homes and
■visitors have become so numerous in New York
that the theatre season is getting closer and
closer to being continuous. Comedy waa the
predominant note of the new offerings. There
was very little of the serious drama and musical
comedy was not plentiful. Some of tlie comedies,
notably "Old Lady 31" and "Tiun to the Right.'*
mixed pathos with their humor, while others stuck
to simple romance and humor. In this latter
class "Capt. Kidd. Jr." and "Arms amd the
Girl were pleasing examples.
. Of all the plays, perhaps the most whimsical
m basic idea was "Old Lady 31." which opened
at the Thirty-ninth Street Theatre October 30. It
tells the story of an old 'seaman. Capt. Abe. who
through reckless speculiation comas to want in his
old age. and the auction of their effects neta
,iust sufficient to establish his doting wife in aa
old ladies' home, while he chooses to co to tlie
iPoor farm. There is a prologue showing the. old
couple leaving the home that had been theirs
since thev entered it a bridal couple, and three
acts set in and about the home. There are thirty
inmates, and when Abe brings Angle to the
home and is preparing to bid her goodby. while he
trudges on to the poor farm, the old ladies decide
not to separate them, but to take in the old man
as well as his wife. He is called "Old Lady 31"
and is immediately adopted bv all the inmates,
who coddle and pet him. The .youngest of tlie
inmate's has been deferring an answer to a per'
sistent suitor, a friend of old Abe's, for twentv-
five years, and she makes Abe her confidant io
her love affair. The exchange of confidences be-
tween this pair rouses the jealousy of the other
old women and matters boil for a time, but a
real explosion is averted by the announcement
that under Abe's urging BIossv has decided to
accept her faithful suitor and that they have gone
away to get married Meantime Angle is doing
her best to forward a romance between a poor boy
who does carpenter work about the home, but
who has architectural promise, and the daughter
of the richest man in town, Abe. however, has
always resented his position of dependence and
his shame at having brought Angle to such an
end. but their troubles are ended when one of
Abe's wildcat speculations happens to turn out
well and they are back in a position of affluence
and retmn to their home with a programme of
liaving serial visits from all the "girls" la the
home, that their lives might be brightened.
This simple and pretty comedy of character was
written bv Rachel Crothers from a 3tor.7 by
Louise Forsshmd.
Miss Emma Dunn played the part of Aneie
vnfb. a sweetness and grace that was notable.
especially in a voung woman taking the part of
an old one. The artistry by which she brought
out the perfeot tact her part called for made an
instant appeal to her audiences. She was excep-
tionally well supported by Reginald Barlow as
old Abe. Vivia Ogden. Mrs, Felix Morris. Maud
Sinclair. Anna Bates. May GaLver and Ekiward
O'Connor also gave admirable presentations of
parts which possessed splendid opportunities for
them. (Lee Kugel.)*
Grant Stewart and Robert Baker wrought a
splendid comedy in "Arms and the Girl." pro-
duced at the Fulton Theatre on September 27.
The fact that the title sueeests a satire of
Shaw's ".Vrins and the Man" is entirely mis-
leading. "AiTOS and the Girl" is a delightful
little romantic story laid in war-ridden Belgium,
told with a simplicity that has a delightful charm.
Dramatic values were not sought by the authors
and are not plentiful, the story being worked
out with a pleasing mixture of heroics, sentiment
and humor. Ruth Sherwood, the heroine, haa
her passport stolen by a Russian spy while she is
waiting for her fiance. Jack Martin. Wilfred
Fen-ens another young .American, has no passport

Rida Johnson Young's "Captain Kidd. Jr.."
bad its premiere at the Cohan and Harris Theatre
November 11 and attained immediate favor. It is
a rather Coljanese aftaii- that fairly bubbles with
hranor. It tells the story of an ol-d Scotchman
who keei>s a bookstore in New York. His grand-
daughter is his partner, and a far from silent one.
He has a proteae whom he rescued, a cold and
hunery newsboy, from the street and raised and
loved as a son. In a box of books purchased at
an auction of a deceased millionaire is a book on
buried treasure which includes a mao showing
where there is a fabulous treasure buried on
Oaoe Cod. The treasure tale is a "plant" by tlie
old milUonaire to rouse some ambition in a
spineless grandson, the last surviror of the family,
but the bookseller's protege finds it and the
bookshop is closed up while the three go to Cape
Cod to dig. The "la\yser" who helped the old
millionaire to lay the "plant" is also made to
appeal' as a seeker of the treasure, as well as
the stenographer of the dead millionaire, with
whom the grandson is in love. The treasure
in the end is found to consist of a letter advising
fresh air. hard work and a healthy interest in
things in general, but it is not discovered until
the old booteeller's granddaughter spends her
heritage of S2.000 in buying the wortWess farm
on which the treasiue is buried, and the treasure
himters get back to New York destitute aud in
a sad frame of mind. Then a company decides to
buy the farm to build a railroad and the grand-
daiighter sells it for S25.000. the old man's protege
sells a story he has been hawking among the
publishers, wins the gi^anddaugiiter and every one
IS happy. It is splendidly acted, the work of
Edith Taliaferro ^is the granddaughter. Otto
Kniger as the protege and Ernest Stallard as the
old bookseller having especially impressed the
critics.* (Among the plays that Cohan and Harris
have accepted for production in the near future
are "Under Pressure." by Sydney Rosenfeld:
"The Road to Destiny." by Channing PoUock;
"I Love the Ladies." by Emile Nyitrav and John
Eichards and "Speed Up." by Owen Davis.)
An early comer and long stayer was the Belasco
■production of "Seven Chances." by Roi Cooper
Megrufe. which opened at the Cohan Theatre
August 9 and was moved to the Belasco Theatre
October 23. The play, which is somewhat
faxcioal, revolves aroimd the experiences of a
poor young man who is suddenly informed he
must marry within twenty-four hom's in order to
inherit his grandfather's millions. The develop-
ment of the story is left largely to the leading
character, capitally played by Frank Craven, but
Otto Ktuger. who later in the season scored
another success in "Capbain Kidd. Jr.." gained
plenty of praise as the friend who. chiefly by
whistling, managed Jimmie. the hero.*
Winchell Smith and John E. Hazzard are the
co-authors of "Tiuro to the Right." a comedy of
much noveJty and entertainment. It was pro-
duced bv Mr. .Smith and John L. Golden at the
Gaiety Theatre August 17. The play deals chiefly
with Joe Bascome. who. after serving a prison
term, trims' to the< right under the influence of
his mother and carries with him otiiers who find
themselves' in the midst of gay and grave ad-
ventures. The play is rmusual in that it utilizes
all the details of the "Way Down Bast" type
of melodrama, coupled with all the humor
of the typical "crook comedy" of the "Get
Rich Quick Wallingford" sort. The cast
includes* Forest Winant. Edgar Nelson. Ruth
Chester. Roy Fairchild. Sam Reed. Louise Rutter.

September 11 'saw George Ai-liss open hia^eason
at the Criterion Theatre in "Paganini." a char-
acter .story of the great musician. Edward Knob-
jaueb. 'Who wrote 'it. touched noon little more than
the personality of his subject. The action of
the piece rests mainly upon an episode in which
the sentimental young daughter of an English
merchant had entertained the violinist. She
followed him to Calais, where she sat. cold and
hungry, while he. appareuttly nourished and
warmed by the fires of genius, composed a con-
certo in her honor. The pictm'e was broken in
upon by the girl's angry father and the matter-
of-fact young armv Captain affianced to the girl.
Tlie romance hold's the pair enchained until the
Captain suddenly seizes Pag'anini's beloved violin
and holding it aloft demands the musician choose
between art and the woman. The alacrity with
which he drons the maid and rushes to the rescue
of the violin opens the girl's eyes and her head
finds its natural resting place on the Captain's
broad shoulder. Mr. Ailiss was admirably sup-
ported by Sara Biala. ilargery Maude. Mrs.
Arliss and Charles Harbiuy. (4S times.)
Otis Skinner appeared at the Lyceum Sep-
tember 18 in a new Booth Tarkington play called
"Mister Antonio." It was not a dramatization
of am' of Tarkington'a books, but a play
written especially for Mr. Slrinner. Mr.
Sldnner's suijport wei'e Joseph Brennan. Eleanor
Woodruff. Robert Harrison. John McCabe.
Walter F. Scott. Louise Sydmeth. Frances
Landy. Patterson McNutt and Ernest A.
Elton. (48 times.)
PoUyanna. "the glad girl" of Eleanor H. Por-
ter's very pretty stories, was made into a
pl-ay by Catherine Chisholm Cushing. which made
its appearance at the Hudson Theatre September
18. It tomed the Wevst before it was put on in
New York, so its producers. Kla\y & Erlanger
and George 0. Tyler, were not worried much
about its fate. That their judgment was good
was !)roved bv the success the play at once
attained. Patricia Collinge gives a pretty touch to
the name part. Effie Shannon's beauty adds a
material share to the pleasingnesis of her por-
trayal of the part of Miss Polly Harrington.
Pliilip Merivale. as John Pendleton. Esq.. and
Jessie Busley also add to the spirit of gladness
the play is supposed to and does radiate.*
Margaret .\uslin oiiened the Empire's regular
season on September 20 m "Caroline." an Eng-
lish comedy by William Somerset Maugham.
The play revolved around the experiences of a
man and w oman who have waited tea yeaiB for
each other. Suddenly the barrier, in the ohape
of the woman's impossible husband, is effaced
by death, and then, very much to their siu-prise.
they find that they do not wish to marry. Miaa
.Vnglin's appearance in this comedy marked her
return to the Frohman forces and her fust ap-
pearance at the Empire since the stock company
days. (46 times.)
"Upstairs and Down." the work of Frederio
and Fanny Hatton. was produced at the Cort
Theatre September 25. It was intended to reflect
that the same vices which prevail in the drawing
room are as common among the servants in the
lower regions of the house. The critics seemed
to think the picture was rather overdrawn and
was tmpleasant. though the dialogue was ad-
mittedly clever. Courtney Foster. Christine
Norman. Mary Servoss. Arthm- Elliott and Ma
St. Leon gave clever oerfoi-mances.*
Beginning October 2. Taylor Holmes appeared
in the name part of "His Majesty Bunker Bean."
a dramatization by Lee Wilson Dodd of Harry
Leon Wilson's stories of that title, at the Astor
Theatre, The general theme is that a man can
develop into anything he can make himself be-
lieve he is. Bunker Bean is a spineless stenog-
rapher, who is conr\'inced by a psychic faker he
is the reincarnation of a good and powerful
Egyptian King. Actinff in this faith, tho
stenographer acauires boldness in the business
world, achieves wealth and marries the girl of

October 4 William Hodee flPineaTed ni a four-
act comedy depicting ccntemporavy life called
"IfM^ing Sister." at Maxine Elliott's Theati-e.
The play was by "Lawi'ence Whitman." which is
Mr Hodge's pen name. Mr. Hodee took the
part of a Kansas City business man who rushes
to New York to save his lister from the toils
of two foreign adventurers. Yankee shrewdness
winning in the end. Miss Miriam Collins had
the leading feminine role.*
John Drew appeared at the Criterion Tlieatre
October 26 in "Major Pendenni.s." a dramatiza-
tion by Langdon Mitchell of Thackeray s noyel
"Pendennis." As impersonated by Mr. Drew,
the Major was a somewhat more worthy char-
acter than might be inferred from a reading of
the hook. Most of Thackeray's boolos lack dra-
matic Quality and the play is chiefly delightful
for its sketches of character. Excellent support
waa given the star by Jane Houston. Lester
Lonergan Brandon Tynan. Alison Skipworth.
Edith Shame and Helen ilencken.*
"The Basker." chosen by Cyril Maude for his
New York reappearance, was put on at the
Kmpire October ao. It is an essentially Bnghsh
comedy by Clifford Mills, which had little in it
to appeal to American sentiment. The Basker
is ail idler of forty, who dawdles through life,
follon-ing the line of least resistance and who is
reluctantly compelled, through the wortang of
mortality to become a Duke. In the end he
awakes to his responsibilities, becomes Tisorons.

riage from the cad slw is to wed and k-ads her

about all the nart permits. Maud ililton acted
the jiart of the old Duchess witli dignity and
humor, and Marguerite Leslie. Muriel iMartm
Harvey. Hassai-d Short and Edgar Norton
handled their parts of the production with ability
and smoothness. (42 times.)
Ruth Chatterton opened at the Cohan Theatre
October 31 in "Come Out of the Kitchen." a
comedy built on Alice Duer Miller's novel ot the
same title. Miss Chatterton has the role of a
Southern girl whose family has been impoverished
by the war and is forced to rent the home to a
rich Northerner. The newcomei- stipulates that
a corps of white servants shall be furnished and
out of this arrangement a love story develops.

George Bemai'd Shaw's "Getting Married ' had
its first production in this country at the Booth
Theatre November 6. with William Faversham m
the leading role. The play deals, with all of
Shaw's whimsical wit and humor, with phases
of the marriage qaiestion. the problems that
beset young lovers, the nerplexinB temptations of
the married and the issue of divorce, Siipportms
Mr. Faversham are Henrietta Crosman. Charles
Cherry. Hilda Spong Lumsden Hare. John Har-
wood. Virginia Fox Brooks, Arleen Hackett. Mrs.
Edmund Gumey. George Fitzgerald and Hugh

"The Yellow Jacket." the Chine.se comedy by
George 0. Hazleton and Harry Benrimo, was re-
vived by Mr. and Mrs. Cobura at the Cort The-
atre No\!ember 9 for a series of ten matinees. The
play had a peculiar history in that tour years
ago it failed to prove profitable when produced
at the Fulton Theatre. Since then it has tom-ed
the gi'eat cities of the world and lias everywhere
been most enthusiastically received. The ten
matinee -performances showed that New York
had learned to anpreciate tlie odd mixture of
Oriental poeti-y and nonchalant comedy which go
to make up the play.* „ „ ,
Sam Sothern. a brother of E. H. Sothem. ap-
peared iu a comedy named "Such la Life" at the
Princess Theatre November 25. Haroild Owen
was the author, and the three acts of the comeds
were placed about London. 'The story tells 01
an "Intellectital" who thinks he thoroughly
understands the psychology of woman. A situa^
tioa develops which causes him to stispect hia
wife and his closest friend, a hard-headed, prac-
tical engineer, but the proof of her innocence is
so absolutely conclusive the "Intellectual" is
compelled to admit he doesn't even understand
his own wife. Mr. Sothem took the part of the
engineer. Ferdinand Gottschalk and Cathleea
Nesbitt taking the other two leading parts.
Laurette Taylor made her reappearance in New
York after an absence ot more than two years
when she opened in "The Harp of Life." a
comedy by her husband. J. Hai'tley Manners, at
the Globe Theatre. November 27. It was with
the announced determination of ehowinjr heu
versatility that Miss Taylor chose a play so dif-
ferent from "Peg o' My Heart." in which she
made her greatest success. Her new role is that
of a middle aged woman, the mother of a head-
strong youth who falls in love with and seeks
to marry a notorious uoman. The efforts of the
mother to prevent tho marriage form the de-
velopment of the play. Others in the company
are Gail Kane. Philip Merivale. Frank Kemble
Cooper. Lynn Fontanue. FfoUiot Paget and Dion
Titheradge.*
"Mile-a-Minute Kendall" is the title of a
three-act comedy by Owen Davis which was pro-
duced at the Lyceum Theatre November 28. The
play deals with the culmination of the career ol
a recldeas young man in an unattractive love
affair and liis ultimate redemption. In the
producing company are Tom Powers. Joseph
Kilgour. Adele Blood. Edith Lyle. William
Sampson. Helen liOwell. BiuT Mcintosh. John
Flood and others.*
There were several successful farces produced.
William Collier brought out a new farce called
"Nothing but the Tnith" at the Longacre The-
atre September 14. which seemed destined for a
long rim. James Montgomery is the author of
the piece, which followis traditional lines along
the stcrv of a man who wagered with his part-
ners that he couldi teU the univamlshed truth
for twentv-four hours. The stake he put up was
SIO 000 his sweetheart had intnisted to him for
investment. Slie had collected it for charitable
purposes. By sticking to the truth for the
allotted time the hero almost bankrupted his firm,
got every one around him as well ais himself in
hot water and came olose to wrecking his
romance. Others in the company were Rapley
Holmes. Aniold Lucy. Ned X. Sparks. Miss
Margaret Brainard. Miss lone Bright. Mis3
Vivian Wessell and Morgan Coman.*
"(3ood Gracious Annabelle." a new play by
Clare Kummer was produced at the Republio
Theatre October 31. It tells the adventures of
Annabelle looldng for her lost bank account and
her husband. Lola Fisher. May Vokes. Edwin
Nicander. Walter Hampden. Helen Lee. Ruth
Harding and others are in the cast.*
"Our Little Wife." which opened at the Harrifl
Theatre November 19. is a typical Avery Hop-
wood farce. The author indulges his usual pro-
pensity to follow the school of the French
farceurs, and while keeping liis dialogue an<J
situations within hoimds. delights to skate ooi
"thin ice" in the matter of the proprieties. The
story tells of a feminine Lothario. "Dodo"
WaiTen. With a devoted husband, she cannot
resist her inclinations to amuse herself with a
young poet a doctor who visits her daily, a re-
luctant bachelor friend of her husband's and
finally with the lawer her husband employs in
his divorce proceedings. Margaret Illington
failed to please the critics in the title role, which
is so different iu character from those parts
in which she attained fame that there was some
wonder she would consent to assiune the part of
an airy flirty voung matron. Robert Fischer,
as a waiter in the play, scored 4 great success.
Others in the excellent cast are Lowell Sherman.
Walter Jones. Gwendolyn Piers. Effinghaia
Pinto Charles Harai>den. Rae Selwyn. Thomaa

The Drama — Continued.
The detective story still holds its thrall for
playwrieht and public and Bayard Veiller's "The
13th Chair." a melodrama of this type, scored
a success from its production at the Fort.y-eighth
Street Theatre November 20. Naturally and
unavoidably, the play turns upon a mysterious
murder committed some few weeks before the
opening scene, and the remainder of the .play .is
devoted to unraveilicE the nustery which is built
UP in a thrilling first act. WTiile the guilty
party seems rather obvious to the auditor
throughout the action and the detective's avoid-
ance of suspecting this one man 'Seems rather
■pointed, the play holds its interest keenly
throughout. The play is splendidly prodiiced.
The commanding figiu-e is Margaret Wycherly as
JRosalie La Grange, an old Irish mediiun.
Katherine La Salle as the yoimger htrouie.
Calvin Thomas. Eva Condon and George Graham,
among the large cast necessary to the action of
the play, earned the favor of the public by the
manner in which, they handled their roles. (H.
B. Harris.)*
A notable event of the theatrical year was
David Warfield's revival of "The Music Master
after nine years rambling in other fields. It was
put on at the Knickerbocker Theatre October
10 with, every indication that it would get the
eame imending grip on the emotions it did at
the time of its original production.*
Sarah Bernhardt was able to give New Tork
but three weeks of her American season, opening
at the Empii-e Theatre on the night of
December 4. In her repertoire were several plays
new to New York and others in which she had
been seen here before. Those in which she ap-
neared were as follows; "Cleopatre."
"L'Hodocauste." "Le Paix Chez Soi" ("Peace
at Homes"). "Du Theatre au Champ d'Honneur"
("From the Theatre to the Field of riouor").
"Oendres d'Opium" ("Ashes of Opium").
"Jeanne d'Arc." "La Chance du Mari" ("The
Husband's Luck"). "Le Vitrail." "Hecube."i
"Rosalie." "Le Faux Modele" ("The Sham
Model"). Portia and Shviock in "The. Merchant
of Venice," at alternate performances:
"Camille." ''L'Toile dans le Xuit" ("The Star
in the Night"). "English as It Is Spoken."
"Une d'Elles." "L'Aiglon" and "Adrienne
Lecouvreur."
"The Master." in which Arnold Daly made
his reappearance in New York at the Fulton,
Theatre December 5. will appeal with gi'eatest
force to those who prefer that the sex problems
it presents should be demonstrated on their,
neighbors rather than upon themselves. This
ironic drama is the work of Herm.ann Bahr. best]
known as the author of "The Concert." Whenf
presented several years ago at the Irving Place
Theatre. "The Master" made no concessions to
what is probably the American point ot view, but
has been considerably modified by its adapter.
Benjamin F. Glazer. Most notable in Mr.
Daly's support were Edward Abeles. Edyth
Latimer and Ramsay Thompson.*
"Margery Daw." produced at the Princess
December 5. with Kathleue MaoDonell in the
title role, is a frank and serious con^idei-ation
of the marriage question. Margery comes from
a convent to the house of her guardian, who.
jilted by her mother, becomes a recluse. He
falls in love with her but she discovers facts
about her mother's early life, including the fact
that she herself was born outside of the con-
ventions. In the following revulsion she ac-
cents her guardian's proposal of marriage, but
the play worlds out to a happy ending. I'^rederick
Perry. Forrest Robinson. Louise Mcintosh. Sarah
McVicker. George Probert. .Maude Ehurne and
Jacques Martin shared in the triumph of the
Btar. The play was \mtfcen by George D. Parker.*
"Treasure Island" reflected great credit on
Charles Hopkins, who chose it again for his
season's offering at the Punch and Judy Theatre.
Jules Eckert Goodman made the thrilling story
into a play and succeeded in iireserving its at-
mosphere of adventure and com'aee.*
Charles Dillingham's gecond season at the
Hippodrome is marked by as brilliant a succession
of incidents and pictures as his first. The ice
ballet of last y«ar is retained and there are
elephants that play ball. Pavlowa to dance, stir-
ring army and navy pictures, flyine oianoa. a
dancing skeleton, an immense minstrel show and
a great deal of new music, to say nothing of the
Six Musical Browns, with their saxophones.*
MTJSICAL PIECES.
In mtisical comedy the season wias an average
one. There was much that was sprightly and
amusing and much music that was pleasing and
catchy, but the average was not high. "The
Blue Paradise" held the stage at the Casino
through the season. "The Princess Pat." score
by Victor Herbert and book by Henry Blossom,
found pomilarity. Rudolph Priml's enticing
score brought prosperity to "Katinka."
Among tlie most successful works given during
the ))resent season was "Miss Springtime." a
pretty Hungarian operetta. by Emmerich
Kalman. adapted by Guy Bolton. It had its
American premiere at the New Amsterdam The-
atre September 25 and introduced to New York
a new actress and singer in Miss Sari Petrass.
who has a liigh place on the stage of Budapest.
The piece 'scored a sncce'ss. Its pretty lyrics,
supplied by P. G. Wodehouse and Herbert Reyn-
olds, fitted the Kalman score smoothly afld
fluently. Miss Petrass had not been long upon
the stage before her a,udience imderstood why she
had gained such favor at home. She is graceful
and displayed undoubted artistic quality. She
sings with a voice very pure as to tone and ad-
mirably adaptable. George MacFarlane. John E.
Hazzard. Jed Prouty and Miss Georgie 0'Ra.mey
contribute much to the general success of the
production.* Lina Abarbanell received a joyful
welcome when she returned to Broadway with a
new operetta of composite origin called "Flora
Bella." which opened at the Casino September
12. FeUx Doermann -wi-ote the book. Cosmo
Hamilton adapted it and Dorothy Doimelly
helped him. The music is by Charles Cuvilier
and Milton Schwarzwald. The result combines
the charm of "The Merry Widow." with the
spirit of a cabaret show. The leading role waa
sung in delightful fashion by Miss Abarbanell.
Lawrence Grossmith was always amusing and
Charles Purcell and Adolph Link did their
allotted portions in a most satisfactory manner.
"Broadway and ButteiTnilk." a comedy with
many song numbers, was chosen by Frances Ring
for her 1916-17 .sea.son and opened at the
Maxine Elliott. (23 tunes.) The Thirty-ninth
Street Theatre saw the production of "Yvette."
August 10. with Chapine. The scenes were laid
at Trouvilie. The book was written by Benjamin
Thorne Gilbert and the music and lyrics by
Frederick Herenden.
Anna Held was away from the Broadway stage
for a long time, but she found her way back
in a three-act musical comedy called "Follow
Me." produced at the Casino November 29.
Felix Doermann and Leo .Ascher were responsible
for it in its original Viennese form and the
adaptation was made by Sigmond Romberg. Mr.
Ascher and R. B. Smith. Miss Held takes the
part of a mtich courted Parisian actress, who
leads on one of her most 'ardent admirers imtil
she learns that as a result his young wife is
miserable. Then she proceeds to teach him a
lesson. Included in her support are Henry
Lewis Florence Moore. Han-y Tighe. Letty
Yorke and William P, Oarleton and a very
large chorus.
Another operetta built on a Viennese base
was "Her Soldier Boy." which opened at the
Astor Theatre December 6. Victor Leon, libret-
tist of "The Merry Widow." was the author of
the original book, which w^s made over by Rida
Johnson Young. The score is by Emmerich
Kalman. who had .already achieved fame here
with "Sari" and "Miss Springtime." Clifton
Cra^vford was at the head of the cast. Among
the other principals were John Charles Thomas.
Adele Rowland. Beth Lydy. LoTiise Galloway
Mildred Richardson. Cyril Cbadwick. Harold
Vizard and George Schiller. 'PiU adventurous
young American caught in the toils of the
European war. a winsome Belgian maid and a
gallant French officer furnish most of the action
of the piece. (Shubert.)*

MOTION PICTURES IN 1916.
TIhe close of the year 1916 finds the motion
picture an accepted factor in educational work and
on entertainment that no longer makes its appeal
only to certain classes. The premier performajnce
of an important motion picture is now ranked with
the ''first night" of a drama on the stage. Like-
wise in its appeal to the more popular taste the
motion picture has reached far beyond the dreams
of even a few years ago.
The ■vear of a Presidential election has seen
the motion pictiire called upon for new uses.
"President Wilson and His Cabinet." a tiiree-reel
production, was one of the most popular subjects
used by the Democrats in the furtherance of their
campaign, while the Republicans found one of
their most useful means of reaching the electorate
in "A Re-United Party." a two-reel production.
Motion pictures were called into play in State and
local campaigns also, notably in New York, where
(Joy. Whitman had earned the favor of the picture
interests by vetoing a bill providing State censor-
ship.
Most important among the screen productions of
the year was "Intolerance," by D. W. Griiiith,
whose "Birth of a Nation" had earned premier
honors in 1915. "Intolerance" is an innovation
in that it departs from all past dramatic methods
and carries four distinct stories along simul-
taneously. The theme indicated by the title is
driven home by means of stories laid in the
Byzantine era. the time of Christ. France in the
days of the Husruenots and the present in the
United States. In elaborateness and effectiveness
of massive spectacle and in expenditures "Intoler-
ance" set new marlts of achievement.
"Civilization."' inspired by the war in Europe
and aiming to drive home the Jioirors of strife.
was another of fhe big spectacles of the year,
being produced by Thomas H. Ince. Picture man-
ufacturers also made their contribution to the
Shakespeare centennial. Sir Herbert Tree's appear-
ance in "Macbeth" for 'Triangle being one of the
evidences of the heights of prestige reached by the
screen. E. H. Sothern is nnother star of the
first rank to make his screen debut in 1916. "The
Chattel" being his initial subject for Vitagraph
in a series or three to mark his permanent re-
tirement to private life. Nazimova, and Rose Mel-
ville, the famous ''Sis Hopkins." are among the
other recruits from the galaxy of stage stars, the
latter coming from her retirement to appear in a
special series of comedies for the Kalem Com-
pany Geraildine Farrar devoted practically all of
her time during the last half of the year to a
spectacular production of ''Joan of Arc." to be
shown early in 1917. In the closing months of
the vear Mary Garden and George M. Cohan an-
nounced that they would soon appear on tho
screen. ,, , .
But the development of the year that has been
considered most important by picture men was
tibe steadily increasing desire among a large class
of patrons for a return to the varied programme of
short subjects. The swing in sentiment, which
will work in the cases of both long and_ short
pictures toward a survival of the fittest m the
matter of quality, has been given impetus by the
fact that many of the short pictures now_ meet the
long pictures on their own ground, i. e., in
prominence of star, author au'd costliness of pro-
duction. , „ , „ , . t .
For example, the Kalem Company, which has
teen a consistent advocate of the short picture,
started lihe yeai with "The Social Pu'ates, a two-

reel series ty George Bronson Howard. This was
followed by ''The Girl From Fjisco" and "Grant,
Police Reporter," two series of short pictures by
Robert Welles Ritohie. Then, for the closing
event of 1916, the oompany induced E. W.
Hornung. author of "Raffles." to write a series of
stojies specially for the screen by bringing to life
once more his famous character "Stingaree" in a
series of two-reel adventures. This company has
produced series of stories by prominent authoi-s
carrying a central character through diffei-emt ad-
ventm-es each picture being a comi>lete story.
a%e formation of the National Association of the
Motion Picture Industi-y. representing manufac-
tm-ers. distributers and e.xhibitors, has been an-
other important step of the year 1916. It has
found its most important field thus far in educa-
tional work, making clear the evils of official
censorslup.
The most dgnificant event of the year from the
standpoint of the motion picture exliibltor wa.s the
opening of the Rialto. the stageless theatre on the
site formerly occupied by Hammerstein's Victoria
Theatre at Forty-second Street and Seventh Ave-
nue The fact that this playhouse was designed
without a stage and with no poesibility of its
being altered for any other piupose than the
presentation of motion pictures and music showed
that this foi-m of entertainment had come to stay.
The Rialto is owned by a corporation and is
imder the managing directorship of S. L.
Rothaofel. who originated the type of amusement
given at this house. It represents an investment
of SI 250 000. The comer it occupies is 135 by
100 feet and its seating capacity is 2.000. The
lower floor seats 90O people. The others are
seated in the loges and the single balcony Tliis
theatre boasts a symphonic orchestra of forty
pieces and one of the largest pipe organs ever
installed in any theatre. Its singers are drawn
from the ranks of grand opera and concert artists.
The indirect lighting system, arranged in color
cycles, is a step in advance of anything hitherto
attempted. By means of an electrical switchboard
it is possible for the management to light all parts
of the auditorium in whatever soft combination
of colors desired. This equipment of colored lights
is also used in ooniunction with the music, color
harmonies being created for their psychological
relation to the harmonies of the orchestra.
From the time it was oneneci. on April 21.
1916. \mtil the latter part of the year, the Rialto
used the Triangle programme of releases, with the
exception of one week, when Sir Herbert Beerbohm
Tree was presented in "Macbe+h." During the
week of Nov. 26 B. H. Sothern was shown in
"An Enemy to the King." a Vitagraiih feature.
Donald C. Thompson's scenes on European battle-
fields and the British Government's pictiures of
Admiral Sir John Jellicoe's fleet prOTcd excellent
drawing cards when introduced as added features.
For the rest of the year such favorites as Douglas
Fairbanlis. William S. Hart. H. B. Warner.
Norma Talmadge. Bessie Ba.rriscale. P>ank
Keenan. Bessie Love. Roacoe Arbuckle and Ma.e
Marsh kept up the pictorial portion of the pro-
gramme to a high standard of excellence.
The "serial picture" idea received a strong
indorsement when the Kleine-iEdLson-'Selig-13s-
sanai' combination was effected. Billie Burke
was featui-ed in a forty-reel picture under the
title of "Gloria's Romance." The picture was
fire months in the making, during which period
Miss Biirke vv-as under contract at a salary of
$4,000 a week. It cost, it is estimated, altogether
$500,000 and was made under the personal super-
vision of Mr. Kleine. who had previously achieved
fame by his production of "Quo VadLs?" It was
released two reels a week. Other noted actors and
actresses imder contract to the new combination
are H'enry Walthall. .Max Linder. Mary Charlson.
Sydney -iinsworth. -Mabelle TruaneUe. Fritzi
Brunette and Vivian Reed.
The moving pictures have been used in a new
way as a result of the European war. in the
production of actual fighting scenes. While they
are not half so thrilling and spectacular as the
pictured sham battles of previous years, they
have had a tremendous grip on the imagination and
are expected to be of ultimate use to the various
movements organized tlirougliout the world to
prevent wars.
MOTION PICTURES IN OTHER LANDS.
Motion picture theatres are well , patronized
throughout Greece and Italy. In Athens there axe
four modem establishments, more than half a
dozen otiiers charging popular prices and about ten
open air theatres. In the provinces of old and
new Greece there are a.bout one hundred and
twenty-five cinemas, most of th&m poorly housed.
The total business of the country is estimated at
about S2O.20O feet of films per month. Those
most In vogue ai-e from Italian. Pi-ench. , Danish,
American. Gennaii and occasionally English com-
panies. Because of the war ttoere has been, in
general, a decline in the quality of the picturea
sent to Greece. Striking exceptions to this, how-
ever, have been the various historical works sent
out by Italian companies. On the other hand, the
war pictures have been of ateojbing interest to the
public and attract large crowds. Up to the present
the .\merican films shown in Greece have not been
successful. Wany of them were so tinged with,
local color as to be unintelligible to a Greek
audience. The making of motion pictures in
Greece is as yet in its infancy; an Athens attempt
gave poor results owing to lack of capital and
experience.
The Italians are great s\tpporter3 of motion
picture shows and the business is developing rap-
idly in all part.s of the kingdom. This is remark,
able because of the high prices which prevail,
tickets ranging from 10 cents for third class to 18
cents for first class, ^xith extra prices for ex-
pensive films. Since the war began some man-
agers Eihow the daily positions of the various
armies by the aid of a map and tiny flags. To
this is added a short bulletin of the impoirtant
events of the day. These pictures attract many
people to the motion picture houses. Great atten-
tion is paid to the orchestra. In some of the
better houses it is the practice to employ twenty
musicians, and the music fui'uished is one of the
features of the entertainment. "I Pagliacci" was
presented as a motion picture, with the music of
the opera, as an accompaniment, some time, ago
Qnd the experiment proved a success, and it is
likely that motion plays or other operas under like
conditions will be frequent.
In Florence, however, there axe few motion
oicrure hoiL-ies. It is estimated that of the 2,500
theanes devoted to the screen in Italy only 230
are in the Florence consular district. Of tn«
films in use 50 per cent, are Italian. 25 per cent.
Freinch and 15 l>er cent. Germain. The demand
for -\merican films is confined to those illustrating
supposedly typical .\mericau characteristics ana
Bcenes. These are always popular.
The only cinematograph Uieatre in Teheran,
Persia, has a seating capacity of 200. is opeai every
day and is well patronized. French. Gennan and
Russian pictures are mostly shown and the most
popular pictures are comic, tragic, war and
cbases with amusing falls.
The motion picture business in China is prac-
tically confined to the treaty ports and the large
commercial centres. It has developed almost ex-
clusively in the higher priced theatres ranging
from 50 to 75 cents a seat. In Shanghai there are
six such houses, while Tientsin and Peldng have
smaller mimbers.
The Kobe district in .Japan has about sixty
motion picture theatres. There are no low price,
continuous houses. Ordiuarily only one per-
forroaoice of six or eight reels, lasting aboiit
three hours, is given each day. The pnce of ad-
mission varies from 5 to 30 cents. Some of the
theatres show a complete programme of Japanese
films and others foreign films, but the gi-eat ma-
jority of houses combine the two classes in about
equal proportion. Most of the foreign plays tliere
are French. Italian or English dramas or Ameri-
can comedies. A teud'cncy to exhibit tne serial
adventure films has developed recently .
■ In Colombia the w.ir has affected the busi-
ness advcMely. Medellin had tliree theaitres for

THE DICKENS FELLOWSi-38P„
Thk Dickens Fellowship is a world-wide league of ISnglish-speakiiig men and women whose purpose
Is to exemplify the teachincs of Charles Dickens and to cultivate and diffuse the spirit which pervades his
writings — the spirit of iimocent festivity and mirth, of religion without bigotry, of ch.arity without coldness,
of universal philanthropy and human kinship. The society began its existence in London in October, 1902.
The object and aims of the Fellowship are:
"To knit together in a common bond of friendship lovers of that great master of humor and pathos,
Charles Dickens. To spread the lo^-e of humanity, which is the keynote of all his work. To take such meas-
ures as may be expedient to remedy or ameliorate those existing social evils which would have .appealed so
strongly to the heart of Charles Dickens, and to help in every possible direction the cause of the poor and the
oppressed. To a.ssist in the prcseri'ation and purchase of buildings and objects associated with his name
and mentioned In his works. To do all such things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the
above objects or any of them."
The fellowship is open to all, without restriction as to class, creed or nationality. Headquarters, White-
hall House, 30 Charing Cross, London. Secretary, T. W. Hill. Branches of the fellowship have beea
termed not only throughout Groat Britain but in the United Statas and Canada, India, Australia, and New
Zealand. There are probably 24,000,000 copies of Dickens's works extant. The Life Presidents are the two
Burvlving children of Charles Dickens, namely, Henry F. Dickens, K. C., and Mrs. Kate Peruginl.

ACADEMiC DRESS.
(From a statement prepared by G. C. Leonard, Albany, N. Y.)
Academic dress, the acknowledged badge ol the scholar, is now worn by the majority of universities
and colleges in this country.
There are three distinct types of gowns and hoods — the bachelor's, the master s, and the doctor's. The
bachelor's gown is most commonly worn and has long pointed sleeves; the master's gown has long closed
sleeves with a slit through which the forearm protrudes; the doctor's gown has velvet bars on round open
sleeves and velvet facings down the front. Caps worn with such gowns are the regulation mortar boards
with black silk tassels. Doctors may wear gold tassels on caps.
The hoods are separate from the gowns, hanging down the back from colored velvet bands across the
throat. They indicate the degrees by the size of the hoods and tlieir velvet trimmings and show the in-
stitutions granting the degrees by the college colors in distinctive arrangements in the exposed linings of the
hoods. The velvet trimmings are two inches wide on the bachelor hoods, three inches wide on ma.sters'
hoods, four and a half inches on doctors' hoods. The doctors' hoods are also widened by panels edged
with cording of the college colors. The colored velvet trimmings indicate degrees as follows:
White, Arts and Letters; scarlet. Theology; purple. Laws; gold-yellow. Science; brown. Fine Arts:
pink, Music; orange. Engineering; olive. Pharmacy; maize, Agriculture; lilac. Dentistry; gray. Veterinary
Science; russet. Forestry; lemon. Library Science; light blue, Pedagogy; silver-gray. Oratory; drab. Com-
merce and Accountancy; sage-green, Physical Education; crimson, Humanics; copper. Economics.

New York State Parks and Reservations.
NEW YORK STATE PARKS AND RESERVATIONS.
The State of New York poesesses seTeral reser.
Tations. two forest preserves, and eeireral paxks.
One. the Niagara ReserwitioD. comprises tlie laud
aboT.it the great cataract, purchased at a cost of
$1,000,000. Then there is the VValkins Glen Kes-
ervation. 1% miles in leiigth. aind containing 108.5
eores. The State R.e6ervation at Saxatoga Springs
now comprises approximately 600 acres of land,
and includes 110 springs and borings. In addi-
tion, the State has acquired mineral rights in
other lanids approximating 72 acres, adding 45
springs to those uiwn Uhe State-o^vned land. In
accordiance witih the policy of the Staite to aicquire
every spring of value, the reservation now includes
every naturally mineralized and naturalb' carbo-
nated spring in the Saratoga region, with the ex-
ception of one on private proi>erty that is not
open to the public. The Sairatosa Reservation is
divided into High Rock Park, of 3 acres: Congress
Park. 3 acres : Lincoln Park. 65 acres, and Geyser
f ark of 32] acres. The other mineral rig'hts
cover 72 acres.
The • State also owns Letchworth Park, ahout
the Flails of the Genesee River: islands in the St.
Lawrence River, and John Boyd Thacheir Park,
near ttie City of Albany.
The great forest preserve of the State is dividicd
into two ijreserv'es; one in the Adirondack region
and the other in the Oaitskill region. The State
now owns in the counties composing the Adiron-
dack and Oatskill preserves 1.814.550 acres of for-
ests amd lakes. Tlie voteins of tlhe State in 1&16
adopted a proposition to bond the State to the
amount of SIO.OOO.OOO. of whidh .?7 500,000 is to
be expended in the purchase of additional land for
State park purposes within the forest preserve
counties: which land, if now owned by the State
under existing law, wr)uld 'be part of tJh« forest
preserve. The Legislature has by law defined the
oemtral portions of the Adirondack and Catskill
mountain aiid lake regions as the vital areas over
whidh the people of the State of New Yoirk should
maintain a continuous forest cov«r. Neveatlieless.
the State of .New York now owns only 4& per cent,
of the land vrithin the park lines of the Adiron-
dack and Oatskill parks. The State holdings
occur in pancels of larger or smaller area, inter-
mixed evesrywhere with tracts of privately owned
forest which is fullv subject to uncontrolled ex-
ploitation. The $7,500,000 just voted by the peo-
ple will be used in acquiring .as much as possible
of the -52 per cecit. of privatelv owned land within
the forest preserve parks, tihe object being to
guard water supply, to iacreasie rainfall and give
a place for recreation.
Another portion of the $10,000,000 bond issue
adopted in 1916. amoimting to $2,500,000. is to
(be used m the acquisition of lands for tihe exten-
sion of the Palisades Intersbato Park. Already
tjie Palisades Interstate Park Commission has ob-
tained private subscriptions of $2,500,000. which
are to be added to the State's bond issue for the
further defelopmemt of the propei-iy. The total
amount to be further er'iic-ndetl <jn ihe PaUsades
Park is Thus ^'5,0^0. (.00.
The Palisade. Ii'.erstate Park is situated in the
Couiiiu -o of Uicunge and Rockland, and comprises
at TJie^c-nt about 27.000' acres. The jurisdiction
of the iDterBtate Park Commission extends nortih-
Tvaid from the New Jersey State line along the
Hudson Kiver to the City of Nen^burgh and west-
■ward so as to include tlhe entire Ramapo Moun-
tains. South of the New Jersey line 1.000 acres

Jersey aire under the control of a legally distinct
commiussion. whidh. however, acts m close co-
operation witih the CommisBioners of the State of

state Park the State of New York has thua far
appropriated in money amd lands $3,150,000. and
the State of New Jersey appropriated $500,000
for the building of the Herary Hudson Dnve along
the Palisades. In addition, the Palisades Inter-
state Park Commission has received private con-
tributions in moneys amd lands amoimting to a
Brand total of $4,480,000. or more than the total
Svestment thus far of both the States of New

lQi9 Bfflglewood apDTOiach to tlhe Henry Hudson
Drive. HI) the sheer face of the Palisades cliffs at
Englewood. N. J., was completed and opened for
traffic in the month of August. 1915. A portion
of this approaoh constitutes part of the Henry
Hud,9on Drive. Prom the northerly loop of the
approach tlhe drive is now under construotion for
a distajrw^ of five miles to Alpine, .N. J. At
Alpine the Alpin-e approach is now imder con-
struction up the llace of the cliffs at that point.
At the foot of the Englewood approach a motor
boat basin. 1.100 feet long by 150 feet wide, has
been constructed.
From tlie southerly end of the Palisades prop-
erties, in the neighborhood of Fort Lee. N. J..
the commission is constructing a footpath which
wiU. within a short time, run along the full
length of the Palisades at the water's edge. ESgtot
and one-half miles of this path are now completed.

tihe fiiBt. time, confined to the district north of
Excelsior Landing which is one mile north of
Alpine. N. J. The charge for the camii>iQg per-
mit is fixed at $1 per week for the space occupied

being conducted at the same time on the Bear
Mountain playground. A feature of the play-
ground is baseball, there being thi>ee fullj' equipped
diamonds. On Highland Lake, .^t Bear .Mountain.
the commi^ion has installed 120 rowboats. free
for onie-half hour to the public. In the groves on
the shores of Hessian Lalce many ntstic shelters
have been constructed, and also a large, covered
dancing pavilion.
At Bear Mountain Park, the Bdar Mountain Inn
was established by the commission with the idea
of supplying visitors to the park and eanming
parties with the best food at reasonable prices.
■The inn is operated by the commission, and is
managed and conducted by its salaried employees.
Everything is to be had there, from a quick lunch
to table d'hote and finest a la carte service. Tlie
restanrant building is 200 feet long by 90 feet
wide. The lowea: floor is devoted entirely to lunch-
counter service. Tables are provided m the inn
and in the sui-rounding groves to which this food
may be carried. By the Spring of 1917 there will
have been completed a well-equipped garage and
automobile repair alv)p at Bear Mountain Park.
"The New Park Drivie. throufiili the Bear-Moun-
tain-Harriman sections of the park, was finished
and opened for traffic in Au.gust. 1915. This
drive is 11 miles long, and carefully located and
graded. It is the main artery of traffic through
the park, with which all other drives and trails
connect. In conjunction with County Highway
No 416 this drive passes 7 lakes between the
Hudson River and the Ramapo Valley. Six of
these lakes have been artifically constructed by the
commis,sion.
The New Park Driwe has been the Mecca for
thousands of motorists all over the country. Dur-
ing the 1916 season 50.000 automobiles were
parked within a short distance of the Bear Moim-
tain Inn. As many as 2.200 .cars occupied the
parking space on one Sunday in October, It is

ment rrf New York, has completed the Poiwloiiee
Bridge, spanning the 600-foot gorge t>etween Foits
Clinton amd Montgomery, at an elcfatiom which
is 5 feet Iiighei than the Bi^wkliTi Bridge.
A caireful survey of the iRevohitionarv Forta
CJinton amd Montgomery has been made by miem-
bers of the .American Scenic and Historic Preser-
vation Society and of the Society of the American
Museiun of Natural Hiistory, and the restoration of
tliese forts is now in i)rogress.
Tlie Palisades and the State roads will be con-
nected. Route 3 is one of the great routes pro-
rided for in the Highway Law of 1909. iindeff
which pi-ovision was matle for a road through the
westerly portion of Rockland. Orange and ULster
Counties to Kingston and thence to Albany. Bv
co-operation with the county. State and national
authorities, the Palisades Commissioners have suc-
ceeded in having this roTite so planned that, in
conlunctiom with the Heniy Hudson Drive it will
ultimately ccnstitute a gi-eat ir!ter.=t«ite highway
from Fort Lee to .^.Ibaoy. F^iora the State line
to Congeis the route has not yet been constructed.
From Congors. througih Haverstraiv. Stony Point
and Bear Moumtain. the road is completed to
Highland Falls. The Federal authorities have
agreed that from Highland Falls the i-oad may be
constructed thi-ough the Military Reservation by
following for two miles the road to Central Val-
ley. When this road reaches Crows Nest the new
highway will be constructed along the southerly
slope of Crows Nest imtil it approaches the Hud-
son River. Then it will follow the river side of
Crows Nest to S'tonn King.
The State Highway Denairtment is now en-
gaged in conetnicting sections of the road in the
vicinity of Crowis Nest and Storm King Mountain.
.\round the face of Stoani King Mountain the road
is at an elevation of 380 feet directly above the
Hndson River.
When the entire road from Albany to Fbrt Lee
is compleited it will run almost its entire lengtii
in full view of tlie Hudson River and will afford
a scenic high\vay unaurpafaed anywher* in th9
world.

The Lincoln Highway,
THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.
The Lincoln Highway is the longest road in the
world. It connects twelve States, and is laid out
between New York and San Francisco, as directly
as possible, consistent with the topography of the
country. Its length Is about 3,284 miles, and It is
constantly being shortened by improvements and
the elimination ol curves.
The idea of an ocean-to-ocean highway was
presented to the public in the early Fall of 1913,
by a National proclamation issued by the Lincoln
Highway Association, an organization Incorporated
with headquarters in Detroit, Mich. The origina-
tor of the idea was Carl G. Fisher of Indianapolis,
now Vice-President of the Lincoln 'Highway Asso-
ciation. The object of the association was:
"Tlie establishment of a continuous improved
highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific, open
to lawful traffic of all descriptions, without toll
charges, and to be of concrete wherever prac-
ticable— this highway to be known, in memory
of Abraham Lincoln, as the "Lincoln Highway."
National interest has attached to the develop-
ment of this great thoroughfare, and the effort of
the public in the States through which it passes
has been devoted to its rapid improvement and
marking. In the three years since the establishment
and dedication of the route, the road has been
marked for practically its entire distance, and
construction has progressed as rapidly as possible
in every State.
The Lincoln Highway Association was not organ-
ized to construct the road, but to promote and aid
in its construction by the local communities, counties
and States through which it passes. In round
figures §10,000,000 have been spent in the improve-
ment of the Lincoln Highway. The eastern section
of the great road is almost completely hard-sur-
faced. The Middle Western States have devoted
every effort to the grading and maintenance of the
route, and are progressing to hard-surfacing as fast
as means will allow. Much work on the road has
been done in tlie West, but it is there, particularly
in the States of Utah and Nevada, that outside aid
solicited by the association is particularly needed,
due to the long mileages and sparse population,
which makes the raising of sufficient funds from the
regular road improvement sources Impossible.

on the Lincoln Highway during the last year in each

CITIES UNDER COMMISSION FORM OF COVERNME^jT.
(From a Report of the Census Biireau of June 12, 1914.)
Washington, D. C, was the first city In the United States to be governed for any number of
years by a commls.slon, coming under that form ot government by the terms of an act of Congress
that became effective June 11, 1878. The application of this form ot government to the Capital of
the United States grew out of the relation of the National Government to this p.irtlcular city, and
the City of Washington was not considered as an example to other municipalities with reference
to Its form of government.
The great need of improvement in sanitary conditions of Memphis, Tenn., following a severe
visitation of yellow fever In 1878, combined with the fact that at the Time the city liad Inctirred an
indebtedness equal to its authority for borrowing money, led the I,eeis!ature of Tennessee In 1879
to put an end to the existence of the city as a municipal corporation and to create In Its stead a tax-
ing district whose affairs were conducted by a small body of officers having practically the authority
of the Commissioners in the cities under the new or commission form of government. After the re-
covery ot the city from the dlfQculties which made this form of government necessary, Memphis
was reincorporated as a city, with its earlier form of government, and its experience was not deemed
such as to encourage the substitution of this form of government tor that of Mayor and council.
A destructive storm having overwhelmed Galveston, Tex., on September 1, 1900, and left the
city prostrate flnanclally, as Memphis had been in 1878, Galveston was placed under a government
by a commission In 1901. The experience of Galveston under this form of government was such
that In 1905 It was adopted by Houston, Tex. Two other cities, having 30,000 Inhabitants, adopted
It in 1907, two in 1908. eight In 1909. six In 1910. fltteea In 1911. nine in 1912, twenty-one in 1913,
and three In 1914.
THE CITY MANAGER PLAN.
An act ot the Ohio Legislature, approved May 6, 1913, provided for a form of municipal gov-
ernment to be known as the "City Manager plan," the council to consist ot five member; in clc.les
of less than 10,000 Inhabitants, of seven members In cities of from 10,000 to 25,000 inhabitants, and
of nine members in cities having over 25,000 Inhabitants, the council being elected In all cases tor
a term of four years. This couiicU Is to constitute a governing body with power to pass ordinances,
adopt regulations, appoint a chief administrative officer to be known as the "City Manager," Qx
his salary, approve all appointments made by him (except as otherwise provided), and appoint a
Civil Service Commission and all boards or commissions created by ordinances.

THE DIXIE HIGHWAY.
The Dixie Highway, the most "pretentious of Che
national road moTements developed during tihe
year 1915. was officially launched at the confer-
ence of Governors of the .States interested called
to meet at Chattanooga. Tenn., April 3. 1915, by
Governor Samuel Ilalston. of Indiana. The sys-
tem of highways, as designated by two commis-
aionera. each appointed by the Governors of the
States of Wichigaji. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Ken-
tucky. Tennessee, Geoi-gia and Florida, consists of
two dirisions and one loop eacli in the States of
Michigan and Florida, with connecting links. The
western division starts at Chicago, and is routed
through th€ cities of Danvilie, 111,; Indianapolis,,
Ind. ; Louisville, Ky. ; N'ashville and Chattanooga,
Tenn,: Rome, Atlanta and Macon, Ga. ; Talla-
'hassee, Kissimee, Bartow and Jupiter, Fla.,
where it connects \rith tlie eastern division. In-
dianapolis. Ind., is connected with a loop around
the State of .Michigan at South Bend. Ind. Join-
ing the eastern end of the Michigan loop, which
follows Lake Huron to Detroit, the eastern
division of the .highway is routed through the
cities of Monroe. Mich.; Toledo. Dayton and Cin-
cinnati. Ohio; Lexington. Ky.; Onmberland Gap
and Knoxville, Tenn., to Chattanooga- thence to
Atlanta, Ga., via Dalton; thence to Macon via
McDonough; thence to Jacksonville . Fla., via Fitz-
gerald and Waycross. Ga.. and along the east coast
of Florida to Miami. A connecting link from In-
dianaplis on the western division to Dayton, Ohio,
on the eastern division, and from Tallahassee,
Fla.. on the western division to JaclcsonvUle. Fla.,
on the eastern division has also been designated.
Tilie Dixie Highway has a total mileage of 4,206.
In the eight States it traverses 163 counties. It
■will serve a territory with a population of almost
forty million. There are over eight hundred thou-
sand automobile owners in this tenitory, from
which the Dixie Highway can reasonably expect to
attract tourists.
That remarlsable progiress has been made in the
short history of the movement may be gleaned
from the reports received from fifty counties, from
which a conservative estimate was compiled which
shows that approximately five million dollars has
been expended in the past six months and that
preparatioms have been made to expend during 1916
almost twenty million dollars. Starting with a
highway, a large part of 'which consisted of bad
country roads, the progress has been so rapid that
there are only two serious barriers to through travel
at the beginning of 1916. These barriers consist
of about seventy miles of road yet to be coji-
structed on the eajstem division between Cincin-
nati, Ohio and Knoxville, Tenn., in the mountain
counties of Kentuclty, and about eighty miles of
mountain road in Tennessee on the western divi-
sion between Nashville and Chattanooga. Ample
financial preparations have been made to have
these sections of the highway completed by Fall of
1916.
Entire sections of the Dixie Highway are plan-
ning paved roads for their entire stretcli. Notable
among those are the sections of the highway be-
tween Chicago and Danville, III. ; Toledo and
Cincinnati. Ohio; Jacksonville and Miami. Fla.,
and from Tallahassee to Bartow, Fla.
The headquarters of the Dixie Highway Associa-
tion are located et Chattanooga. Tenn. The offi-
cers are Judge M. M. Allison. President; C. H.
Huston, First Vice-President; W. R. Long, Secre-
tary and Tre.isurer; W. S. Gilbreath, Field Secre-
tary, and V. D. L. Robinson, .Assistant .Secretary.
The Executive Committee is composed of President
Allison. Secretary Long, Richard Hardy, Chatta-
nooga: Clark Howell editor Atlanta Constitution.
Atlanta. Ga., and Carl G, Fisher Indianapolis,
founder of both the Lincoln and Dixie Higbivay
movements.

Presidential Elections. 823
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1920.
Thb next Presidential election will take place on Tuesday, November 2, 1920.
The President and Vice-President of tbe United States are chosen by officials termed "Electors"
in each State, who are, under existing State laws, chosen by the qualified voters thereof by ballot, on
the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November in every fourthyear preceding the year in which
the Presidential term expires. ,, .^ . .
The Constitution of tiie United States prescribes that each State shall "appomt, " in such n^siinner
fs the Jjegislature thereof may direct, a number of electors equal to the whole uumherof Senators and
Representatives to which the State may be entitled iu Congress; but no Senator or Kepiesentative or
[leisoii holding an oilice of trust or profit under the United States shall be an elector 'I'he Constitu-
tion requires that the day when elector are chosen shall be the same throughout the United States.
At the be^inuing oi our Government most of the electors were chosen by the Legislatui'es of their
respectiveStates, tlie people liaviug no direct participation in their choice; and one State. South Caro-
lina, continued that practice down to the breaking out of the Civil War. But iu all the States now
the electors are, under the direction of State laws, chosen by the people on ageneial State ticket.
The manner in which the chosen electors meet and ballot for a President and Vice-President of
the United States is provided foriu Article XII. of the Constitution, and is as follows:
The electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at
least, shall not be ail inhabitant of the same State with themselves ; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as
President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President ; and they shall make distinct lists of all persons
voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-I*resident, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall
sign and certify, and transmit, sealed, to the seat of government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.
The same article then pre.scribes the mode in which the Congress shall count the ballots of the
electors, and announce the result thereof, which is as follows:
The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Ueprcsentativea, open all the certificates, and
the votes shall then be counted ; the person having the greatest ntimber of votes for Piesldent shall be President, if such
number' be a majority of the whole uumber of electors appointed ; and if no jierson have such majority, then from the persons
having the highest numbers, not exceeding three, on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Kepresentativea
shall choose immediately, by ballot. The President. But in choosing the President the voles shall be taken by States, the repre-
sentation from each State having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirda
of the Slates, and a majority of all the States shall be necessary to a choice. And if the 1 louse of Uepresentatives shall not
choo'.e a Presidcut, wlienever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then
the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the I*resident. The
person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President shall be the Vice-President, if such uumber be a majority of the
whole number of electors appointed ; and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbeis on the list the
Senate shall choose the Vice-President ; a quorum foi the purpose shall consist of two-tuirds of the whole uumber of Senators,
and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice.
The procedure oi the two houses, iu case the returns of the election of electors from any State are
disputed, is provided in the "Electoral Count" act, passed by the Forty-ninth Congress. The act
directs that the Presidential electors shall meet and give their votes on the second Monday in January
next following their election. It fixes the time when Congress shall be in session to count the ballots
as the second Wednesday in February succeeding the meeting of the electors.
The Constitution also defines who is eligible for President of the United States, as follows:
No person except a nalural-boin citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this ConstltuliOQ
shall be eligible to the office of President ; neither shall any person he eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the
age of thirty-five years.
The qualifications tor "Vice-President are the same.
SALARY OF THE PRESIDENT.
The salary of the President of the United States was the cause of discussion in the First Congress,
in view of the fact that the Constitution declared that the President should receive compensation for
his services Washington had notified his fellow citizens that he desired no salary. The limits
suggested in Congress ranged from S15,000 to STO,000. The salary was tinally placed at $25,000
and this remained the compensation until President Grant's second term (March 3, 1873), when
it was iucrea.sed to '$50,000. Cliapier 2918 of the Laws of the Second Session of the Fifty-ninth
Congress approved March 4, 1907, appropriated "for travelling expenses of the President of the
United States, to be expended at his discretion aud accounted for by his certificate solely, $25,000."'
In the Second Session of the Sixtieth Congress the matter of increasing the President's salary
was again considered, aud it was decided that the President's salary be fixed at $75,000 a year.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.
Note. — There Is, properly speaking, no popular vote for President and Vice-President; the people vote
lor electors, and those chosen in each State meet therein and vote lor the candidates for President and Vice-
President. The record of any popular vote for electors prior to 1S28 is so meagre and Imperfect that a
compilation would be up.eless. In most of the States, for more than a quarter century following the estab-
lishment of the Government, the State Legislatures "appohited" the Presidential electors, and the people
therefore voted only indirectly for them, their choice being expressed by their votes for members of the
Legislature. In this tabulation only the aggregate electoral votes for candidates for President and Vice-
President in the first foiu'teen quadrennial elections appear.

828 The Presidents of the United States.
THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED BTAT^S— Continued.
NOTES TO THE TABLES OF THE PRESIDENTS, ON THE TWO PRECEDING PAGES.
» Monroe abandoned the profession of law when a young man, and was afterward, and until his elec-
tion, always holding public office, t Jackson called himself a South Carolinian, and his biographer,
KSndall, recorded his birthplace in Lancaster Co., S. C; but Parton has published documentary evidence
to show that Jackson was born in Union Co., N. C, less than a quarter mile from the South Carolina
line, t Or of departure from college.
§ Widows. Their maiden names are in parentheses. II She was the divoi'ced wife of Captain
Robards. (a) The Democratic party of to-day claims lineal descent from the first Republican party,
and President Jeffevson as its founder. (6) Political parties were disorganized at the time of the elec-
tion of John Quin Adams. He claimed to be a Republican, but his doctrines were decidedly Pederal-
istic. The oppositivjn to his Administration took the name of Democrats, and elected Jackson President.
(c) Randall, the biographer of Jefferson, declares that he was a believer in Christianity, althongli
not a sectarian. (<0 While President Johnson was not a church-member, he was a Christian believer.
His wife was a Methodist.
Washington's first inauguration was in New York, and his second in Philadelphia. Adams was
inaugurated in Philadelphia, and Jefferson and the Presidents following elected by the people, in the
city of Washington. Arthur took the Presidential oath of office first in New York City. John Adams
and Jefferson died on the same day, the Fourth of July, 1826, and Monroe died on the Fourth of July five
years later. John Quincy Adams was a Representative and Andrew Johnson a Senator in Congress after
the expiration of their Presidential terms, and both died while holding those offices. Tyler was a,
Representative in the Confedei-ate Congress from Virginia, and died in office.
Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley were assassinated while in office.' Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, Wash>
ington, D. O., April 14, 1865, from a pistol shot fired by John Wilkes Booth, who was killed near Fred-
ericksburg, Va., April 26, 1865. by Sergeant Boston Corbett. Garfield was shot in the Pennsylvania
Railroad Depot, Washington, D. C, July 2, 1881, and died at Elberon, Long Branch, N. J., September
19, 1881. The assassin was Charles Jules Guiteau, who was hanged at Washington, D. C June 30, 1882.
McKiniey was shot twice September 6, 1901, while in the Temple of Music of the Pan-Americau
Exposition, Buffalo, N. Y., and died from his wounds at the home of John G. Milburn, Buffalo, Septem-
ber 14, 1901. The assassin was Louis Czolgosz, who was electrocuted at Auburn State Prison, New York,
October 29, 1901. _ _
Jackson was shot at in the Capitol at Washington, D. C, January 29, 1835. by a house painter named
Richard Lawrence, escaping because the pistol of the assassin missed fire. Ex-President Roosevelt waa
shot and wounded by Jolin Schrank, an insane man, at Milwaukee, Wis., October 14, 1912.
Cleveland after taking the oath as President, kissed the open bible, his lips touching Psalm CXII.,
verses 5-10, inclusive. Garfield's first act after. taking the oath was to kiss his mother.
The sixth President was the son of the second President, and the twenty-third President was the
grandson of the ninth President. William Henry Harrison was the eighth and Benjamin Harrison
the tenth in descent from Pocahontas and John Rolfe. Lincoln was the first President wearing a
full beard. Grant the first wearing a mustache. Buchanan and Cleveland were bachelors when they
entered the White House as Presidents, but Cleveland surrendered during his first term. Washington,
Monroe, Pierce and Hayes were born on Friday. J. Q. Adams, Pierce and Garfield were inaugurated on
Friday. Tyler, Polk and Pierce died on Friday. Lincoln was assassinated on Friday.
There were remarkable coincidences in the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. Both were
born in Kentucky; Lincoln in 1809, Davis in 1808. Both removed from their native State in childhood,
Jjincoln to the Northwest, Davis to the Southwest. Lincoln was a Captain of Volunteers and Davis a
Second Lieutenant of Regulars in the Black Hawk War of 1832. They began their political careers the
same year, 1844, Lincoln being a Presidential Elector for Clay, and Davis for Polk. They were elected
to Congress about the same time, 1845 and 1846. They were called to preside over their respective
governments the same year and within a few days; Davis, February 8, 1861, Lincoln, March 4, 1861.
Washington, Monroe, and Jackson were soldiers in the Revolutionary war; Jackson, W. H. Har-
rison, Tyler. Taylor, and Buchanan in the war of 1812-15; Lincoln in the Black Hawk war; Taylor,
Pierce, and C -.nt in the Mexican war; Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, B. Harrison, and McKinley in
the Civil Wa: and Roosevelt was in the war with Spain. Adams and Jefferson were signers of the
Declaration of Independence, and Washington and Madison of the Constitution.
Grant was christened Hiram Ulysses and Cleveland, Stephen Grover. W. H. Harrison was the oldest
man elected to the Presidency, and Roosevelt the youngest. Grant being the next youngest by six months.
Cleveland was the only President married in the White House, and his second daughter the only President's
child born therein. Monroe's daughter (Mrs. Gouverneur), Tyler's daughter (Mrs. Waller), Grant's daughter
(Mrs. Sartoris), Roosevelt's daughter (Mrs. Longworth) and Wilson's daughters, Jessie (Mrs. Sayre) and Elea-
nor (Mrs McAdoo) were the only children of Presidents married therein. Wives of Tyler and Benjamin
Harrison died in the White House. W. H. Harrison was father of the largest family, six sons and four daugh-
ters Eight Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, W. H. Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and WU-
son were Virginians by birth. Six Presidents: Grant, Hayes, Garfield, B. Harrison, McKinley and Taft were
Ohloans by birth. ___^

committee and ratifled by the convention.

DURATION OF SUNSHINE ON UNITED STATES TERRITORY.
The acquisition of Porto Rico, the Sandwich and Philippine Islands, and a portion of the Navigator or
Samoan Group has very considerably affected the duration of continuous sunshine on our territory. The
mathematical discussion of this subject would be out of place here, but any one who desires to inform himself
on this matter can easily and satisfactorily do so by using a terrestrial globe having an artlflcial horizon
attached to it and carefully complying with the following instructions: Place the globe so that the North
Pole shall be directed toward the north, and elevate it 23° above the hori?on as Indicated by the brass
meridiiin Assuming, of course, that the sun is in the zenith, this will be the position of the earth In reference
to the sun at the Summer solstice, June 22. As we turn the globe on its axis from west to east, the sun wlU
be rising at all places on the western and setting at all places on the eastern horizon, and we shall find on
turning the globe through an entire revolution that some portion or other of our territory— including the
islands named above — -will always be above the horizon or will have continuous sunshine during the twenty-
four hours If we now depress the North Pole 23° below the horizon we shall have the relative position ol
things at the Winter solstice, December 22, and we shall find the opposite conditions to prevail; that Is tc
say, the sun will not now shine continuously on our territory, but some portion ol It will always be Involvet
In darKness or below the horizon.

The Teutonic Peace Proposal.
THE TEUTONIC PEACE PROPOSAL.
TO THE NEUTRAL POWERS.
BERLIN, Bee. 12, 191C — Following is
the text of the note addressed by Ger-
many and her allies to the neutral
powers for transmission to the Entente
allies :
"The most texi-ific war experienced in history
has been raging for the last two years and a half
over a large ixirt of the world — a catastrophe which
thousands of .years of common civilization was un-
able to prevent and which injines the most
precious achie^'ements of humanity.
"Our aims are not to shatter nor annihilate our
adversaries. In spite of our consciousne.ss of our
military and economic strength and our readiness
to continue the war (which has been forced upon
•U's) to the bitter end. if necessary: at the &ame
time, prompted by the desire to avoid fm-the.r
bloodshed and make an end to the atrocities of
war. the four allied powers propose to enter
forthwith into peace negotiations.
"The 'Propositions which they bring forward
for such negotiations, and which have for their
ob.iect a guarantee of the e.xisteuce. of the honor
and liberty of evolution • for their nations, are.
according to their firm belief, an appropriate basis
for the establishment of a lasting peaee.
"The four allied powers have been obliged to
take \ip arms to defend .iustice and the liberty of
national evolution. The glorious deeds of our
armies liave in no wa.v altered their purpose. We
alvnays maintained the firm belief that onr own
rights and justified claims in no way control the
rights of these nation?.
"The spiritual and material progress which
were tlie pride of Europe at he beginning of the
tvrentieth century are threatened with ruin. Ger-
many and her allies. Austria-Hnngary. Bulgaria
and Turkey, gave proof of their unconauerable
strength in this struggle. They giained gigantic
advantages over adversaries superior in nmnber
and war material. Oiu- lines stand unshaken
against, ever-repeated attempts made by armies.
"The last attack in the Balkans has been
rapidly and victoriouslv overcome. The most re-
cent events have demonstrated that further con-
tinuance of the war will not result in breaking
the resistance of our forces, arid the whole situa-
tion with regard to our troops justifies our ex-
pectation of finther successes.
"If. in spite of this offer of peace and recon-
ciliation, the struggle should go on. the four allied
Dowems are resolved to continue to a victorious
end. but they disclaim responsibility for this be-
fore humanity and history. The Imperial Govern-
ment, through the good offices of Yow Excellency,
asks the Government of There is inserted the name
of the neutral power addressed in each instancel
to bring this communication to the Icnowledge of
the Government of There are inserted the names
of the belligerents.]"
TO THE V.4TICAN.
BERLIN, Dec. 12, 1916 — The note of
the German Government, as presented hy
Dr. von Muhlherg, German Minister to
the Vatica-ii, to Cardinal Gasparri, Papal
Secretary of State, reads as follows:
".\ccording to instructions received. I have the
honor to send to Your Eminence a copy of the
declaration of the Imnerial Government to-day.
which by the good offices of the powers intrusted
with the protection of G«i-man interests in the
coimtries with which the German Emi>ire is in
a state of war. transmits to these states, and in
which the Imperial Govenrment declares itself
ready to enter into peace negotiations. The Aus-
tro-Hungarian. Turkish and Bulgarian Govern-
ments also have sent similar notes.
"The reasons which prompted Germany and
her allies to take this step are manifest. For
two years and a half a ■terrible war has been
devastating the Enropean Continent. Dnlimited
treasures of civilization have been destroyed.
Extensive areas have been soaked with blood.
Millions of brave soldiers have fallen in battle
and millions have returned home as invalidSe
Grief and sorrow fill almost every house.
"Not only upon the belligerent n,ations but
also upon neutrals, the destructive conseciuencea
of the gigantic struggle weigh heavily. Trade and'
commerce, carefully built up in years of peace,
have been depressed. The best forces of the nation
have been withdrawn from the production of
nsiefui objects. Eiuooe. which formerly was de-
voted to the propagation of religion and civiliza-
tion, which was trying to find solutions for .social
problems, and was the home of science and art
and all peaceful labor, now resembles an immense
war camp, in wliich the acliicvements and works
of many decades are doomed to annihilation.
"Germany is carrying on a war of defence
against her enemies, which aim at her destruction.
She fights to assure the integrity of her frontiers
and the liberty of the German nation, for the
right which she cl.iims to develop freely her in-
tellectrial and economic energies in peaceful com-
petition and on an equal footing with other na-
tions. All ihe efforts of their enemies are imable
to shatter the heroic armies of tlie (Teutonic)
allies, which protect the frontiers of their coun-
tries, strengthened by the certainty that the
enemy shall never pierce the iron wall.
"Those fighting on tlie front know that they
are supported by the nhole nation, which is in-
spired by love for its country and is ready for the
greatest sacrifices and determined to defend to
tlie last extremity the inherited treasure of in-
tellectual and economic work and the social or-
ganization and sacred soil of the country.
"Cerbaiu of our own strength, but realizing
Europe's sad future if the war continues: seized
with pity in the face of the unspeakable misery of
humanity, the German Empire, in accord with her
nllies. solemnly repeats what the Chancellor already
has declared, a year ago. that Germany is ready
to give peace to the world by setting before the
whole world the auestion whether or not it is .pos-
sible to find a ba-sis for an understanding.
"Since the first day of the Pontifical reign His
Holinesis the Pone has unswei-vingly demonstrated,
in the most generous fashion, his solicitude for the
innumerable victims of this war. He has alleviated
the sufferings and ameliorated the fate of thou-
sands of men injured by this catastrophe. Inspired
by the exalted idea.g of his ministr>'. His Hofiness
has seized every opportunity in the interests of
humanity to end so sanguinary a war.
"The Imperial Government is firmly confident
that the initiative of the four powers will find
friendly welcome on the i>art of His Holiness, and
that the work of peace can count upon the
precious support of the Holy See."
AUSTRIA'S SEPARATE STATEMENT.
LONDON, Dec. 12, 1916 — An official
Austrian statement, referring to the
peace offer, says:
"^Tien in the Summer of 1914 the patience of
Austria-Hungary was exhausted by a series of sys-
tematically continued and ever increasing provoca-
tions and menaces, and the monarchy, after almost
fifty years of unbroken peace, found itself com-
pelled to draw the sword, this weighty decision
was animated neither by aggressive i>urposes nor
bv design's of connuest. but solely by tlie bitter
necessity of self-defence, to defend its existence
and safeguard itself for the future against similar
treacherous plots nf hostile neighbors,
"That was the task and aim of the monarchy
in the present war. In combination with its allies,
well tried in loyal comradeship in aims, the
.Vustro-Hnngarian armv and fleet, fighting, bleed-
ing, but also a.^sailing and conquering, gained
such successes that they frustrated the intentions
of the enemy. The quadruple alliance not only
has won an immense series of victories, but also
holds in its power extensive hostile territories.
Unbroken is its strength, as our latest treaoheroiia
enemy has just exuerienced.
"Can our enemies hope to conquer or shatter
this alliance of powers? They will never succeed
in breakingi it by blockade and starvation mftas-
American Peace Society.
845
THE TEUTONIC PEACE PROPOSAI^-Continued.
\ipes. Their war aims, to the attainment of wliich
they have come mo naaj-er in the third year of the
war. will in the future be proved to have b€en
comoletely imattainaWe. Useless and unavailing,
therefore, is the prosecution of the fighting on
the part of the encny.
"The Dowesrs of the quadruple alliance, on the
oth«r hand, have effectively pursued their aims,
namely, defence against attacl<s on their existence
and iuteerity. which were planned in concert long
sinoe. ■amd the achievement of real guarantees, and
they will never allow themselves to be deprived
of the basis of their existence, which they have
secm-ed by advantages won.
"The continuation of the murderous war. in
which tlie enemy can destroy much, but cannot —
as the quadi'uple alliance is firmly confident — ^alter
fate, is ever more seen to be an aimless deiitruction
of human lives and property, an act of in-
humanity .iustified by no necessity and a. crime
a«ainst civilization.
"This conviction, and the ho^pe that similar
Tiews may also be Ijeeiui to be entertained in the
enemy camp, has caused the idea to ripen in the
Vienna Cabinet — in full agreement with the Gov-
•emments o'f the aUied (Teutonic) po^vers — of mak-
ine a candid and loyal endeavor to come to a dis-
cussion with their enemies for the Durpose of i>aY-
ing a way for peace. ^
"The Governments of Austria^Hungary. Ger-
many. Turkey and Bulgaria have addressed, to-day
identical notes to the diploma/tic representatives in
the capitals concerned who ai'e inti'iisted with the
promotion of enemy nationals', expressing an in-
clination to enter into peace negotiations and re-
questing them to transmit this overtiu'e to enemy
states. This step was simultaneously brought to
the knowledge of the representatives of the Holy
See in a special note, and the active interest of
the Pope for this offer of peace was bolicited.
Likewise the accredited representatives of the re-
maining neutral states in the four capitals were
acquainted with this proceeding for the piu'pose of
informing their Governments.
"Aus.tria and her allies by this step have given
new and decisive proof of their love of peace. It
is now for their enemies to make known their
views before the world.
"Whatever the result of its proposal may be.
no responsibility can fall on the quadruple
alliance, even before the .iudgment seat of ita
own peoples, if it ds eventually obliged to continue
the war."

substitute law for war. 9. The substitution of an international police for rival armies and navies.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S NOTE TO THE BELLIGERENT NATIONS.
The Secretary of State to the American Ambas-
^doiB at the CaDitals of the BelUgerent Powers.
DEPARTMENT OP STATE.
WASHINGTON.' D. C. December IS. 1916
The President directs me to send you the toi-
lowiuK eommuinication to be preseiited unmediately
to the Minister of Foreign .Iffairs of the Gov-
ernment to which you are accredited:
The President of the United States has in-
6tructed me to sngsest to the [here is inserted a
desicnation of the Government addressedl «, coui^e
of action with regard to the present war. which
he hopes that the Government will take under
consideration as suggested m the most , triendiy
SDtrit and as coming not only from a friend but
also as coming from the representative ot a neutral
nation wliose interests have been mast seriously
affected by the war and whose concern tor Us
early conclusion arises out of a manifest necessity
to determine how best to safeguard tiaose miterests
if Uie war is to continue.
[The third paragraph of the note as
sent to thj four central powers — Ger-
many, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and
Bulgaria — is as follows:^
The suggestion which I am instruoted. to make
the President has long had it in mmd to otter.
He is somewhat embarrassed to offer it at this
particular time, because it may now seem to nave
been prompted by a desire to play a part m con-
nection with the recent overtures of the central
powers. It has in fact, been in no way suggestecl
by them in its origin, and the President would
have delayed offering it until those overtures had
been independently answered but for the fact that
it also concerns the question of peace and may
best be considered in connection witn other pro-
posals which have the same . end in view 1 he
President can only beg that hrs suggestion be con-
sidered entirely on its own merits and as u it
had he<m made in other circumstances.
[The third paragraph of the note as
sent to the ten Entente allies — Great
Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Russia,
Belgium, Montenegro, Portugal, Rou-
mania and Serbia — is as folloius:}
The suggestion which I am instructed to make
the President has long had it in mind to offer.
He is somewhat embarrassed to offer it at this
particular time, because it may now seem to have
been prompted by the recent overtures of the
central powers. It is. in fact, in no way asso-
ciated with them in its origin, and the President
would have delayed offering it until those over-
tures had been answered but for the fact that it
also concerns the Question of peace and may best
he considered in connection with otiier moposals
which have the same end in view. The President
cam onlv beg that his suggestion be considered en-
tirely on its own merits and as if it had been
made in other circumsitances.
[Thenceforward the note proceeds
identically to all the pollers, as follows :1
The President sugge.sts that an early occasion
be sought to call out from all the nations now at
war such aji avowal of their respective views as to
the terms upon which the war might he concluded
and the arrangements which would be deemed satis-
factory as a guaranty against its renewal or the
kindling of any similar confUct in the future as
would make it possible frankly to compare them.
He is indifferent as to the means taken to accom-
plish this. He would be happy himself to serve.
or even to take the initiative in its accomplish-
ment, in any way that might prove acceptable,
but lie has no desire to determine the method or
the instrumentality. One way will be as ac-
ceptable to him as another, if only the great
object he has in mind be attained.
He takes the 'liberty of caiiing: attention to the
fact that the objects, which the statesmen of the
belligerents on both sides have in mind in this
war. are virtually the same, as stated in general
terms to their own people au.l to the world. Each
side desires to make the lii lits and privileges of
weak peoples and small sti. tes ;is secure against
aggression or denial in the future as the rights
and privileges of the great ar. 1 i)owerful states no_w
at war. Each wishes itfelf to be made secure in
the future, along with ^11 other nations and
Peoples, against the recurrence of wai-s like thia
and against aggression or selfish interference' of
any kind. Each would be jealous of the forma-
tion of any more rival leagues to preserve an
uncertain balance of power amid multiplying sus-
picions; but each is ready to consider the fonna-
tion of a league of nations to insure peace and
justice throughout the world. Before that final
step can be taken, however, each deems it neces-
sary fu'st to settle the isisues of the present war
upon terms which will certainly safeguard the
independence, the territorial integrity and the
Political and commercial freedom of the nations
involved.
In the measures to be taken to secure the
future peace of the world the people and Gov-
ernment of the United States are as vitally and
as directly interested as the Governments now at
war. Their interest, moreover, in tlie means to
be adopted to relieve the smaller and weaker
Peoples of the world of the peril of wrong and
violence is as quick and ardent as that of any
other people or Government. They stand ready,
and even eager, to co-operate in the accomplish-
ment of these ends, when the war is over, with
every influence and resource at their command.
But the uar must first be concluded. The tenna
upon which it is to be concluded they are not at
liberty to suggest: but the President does feel
that it is his right and his duty to point out
their intimate Interest in its conclusion, lest it
should presently be too late to accomplish the
greater things which lie beyond its conclusion, lest
the situation of neutral nations, now e.^ceedingly
hard to endure, be rendered altogether intolerable,
and lest, more than all. an injury be done civiliza-
tion itself which can never be atoned for or
repaii-ed.
The President therefore feels altogether justi-
fied in suggesting an immediate opportunity for a
comparison of views as to the terms which must
precede tho-se ultimate arrangements for the peace
of the world, which all desire and in which the
neutral nations as well as those at war are ready
to play their full responsible part. If the contest
must continue to proceed toward undefined ends
by slow attrition until the one group of belliger-
ents or the other is exhausted: if million after
million of human lives must continue to be offered
UP until on the one side or tlie other there are no
more to offer: if re.sentments must be kindled that
can never cool and despairs engendered from which
there can be no recovery, hopes of peace and of
the willing concert of free peoples will be rendered
vain and. idle.
The life of the entire world has been profoundly
affected. Every part of the great family of man-
kind has felt the bm'den and terror of this un-
precedented contest of arms. No nation in the
civilized world can be said in truth to stand out-
side its influence or to be safe against its disturb-
ing effects. And yet the concwte objects for which
it is being waged Qaave never been definitively
stated.
The leaders of the several belligerents have, as
has been said, stated those objects in general terms.
But. stated in general terms, they seem the same
on both sides. Never yet have the authoritatiye
spokesmen of either side avowed the precise ob-
jects which would, if attained, satisfy them and
their peniile that the war had been fought out.
The world has been left to conjecture what
definitive results, what actual exchange of guar-
anties, what political or territorial changes or
readdiistmen.ts. what istage of military success,
even, woidd bring the war to an end.
It may be that peace is nearer than we know;
that the teiTns whicli the belligerents on the one
side and on the other would deem it necessary to
insist upon are not so irreconcilable as some have
feared : that an interchange of views would dear

PRESIDENT WILSON S NOTE TO THE BELLIGERENT NATIONS— Corertnued.
the way at least for conference and make the
permanent concord of the nations a hODe of the
immediate future, a concert of nations immediately
practicable.
The President is not proposing peace: he 13
not eTen offering mediation. Ho is merely pro-
posing that soundings be taken in order that we
may learn, the neutral nations with the beiligerent,
how near the haven of peace may be for which
all mankind longs with an intense and increasing
longing. 'Hie believea that the spirit in which he
speaks and the objects which he seeks will be un-
derstood by all concerned and he confidently
hopes for a rosoonse which will bring a new
light into the affairs of the world.

At the Newark Velodrome, September 12, 1915, Arthur Spencer, of Toronto, Canada, rode a half-mile
from scratch in 55s., equalling McDougall's record. The latter's mark, however, ha.vlng been made first,
receives credit as the record mark.
The fastest time made for the mile in amateur competition was by Hans Ohrt, the 1915 National and
World's Champion, who at the Newark Velodrome, September 15, 1915, rode from scratch in a one-mile
handicap in Im. 53 2-5s . He finished third in the race, his time being officially taken. It does not count
as a record, as he did not win the race. •

Owing to the continuation of tlie European war, tlie functions of the Union Cyillste Internationale
have been temporarily suspended, each national controlling organization composing ttie U. C. I. acting
Independently within its own jurisdiction, under U. C. I. general rules. In consequence there were no World's
Championship races run in 1916.

time of 59m. Is. Gulgnard also holds the 1-hour professional paced record, made the same time and place,
of 63 miles 189.8 yards. At Munich Gulgnard, on July 23, 1909, rode 31 miles 1,198 yards in the half-hour
(a record). The amateur 1-hour motor-paced record is 56 miles 1,128 yards, and was made by Francois

THE INITIATIVE AND REFEREEMDUr<fl.
The Referendum has been defined as "the referring of legislation to the people for final rejection
or acceptance;" the Initiative as "the giving to the people the right of proposing legislation to be
acted upon." It has been further said that the Referendum as it is now generally advocated requires
that no law save a strictly detined class of urgent measures for the public peace, health, and safety,
which usually must have a two-thirds or three-fourths majority to pass, shall go into effect without
waiting a fixed time, say ninety days. If, during this time, a part of the voters, say 10 per cent..
Blgn a petition lor the Referendum on that law, it would not go into effect till the next regular
election, when the people would vote on It, and if a majority voted " no " It would not be a law. The
Initiative gives the people the power to originate laws. If a certain percentage of the voters, say
10 per cent., sign a petition for a law and file It with the proper oiHciai It must come before the
Legislature and perhaps be referred to the people. Sometimes the law requires that legislation be
referred to the people, whether they petition It or not. This Is called the " Compulsory Referendum."
Where tlie Referendum is taken only when a certain number petition for It, It Is called the "Optional
Referendum." The Referendum and the Initiative provide for direct legislation, that Is, legislation
directly by the people.
On November 7 the voters of New York rejected a proposition to hold a constitutional convention.
Equity gives the following statement as to the progress of the Initiative, the Referendum, and the Recall
In the United States.
In order to make the progress and status of the movement for the duect popular control of government
available for quick and convenient reference, the following tabulation of the data up to January, 1916, is
presented. Percentages in this table refer to the proportion of voters required on petitions.

Utah and Idaho: Initiative and Referendum amendments were adopted by the voters of Utah In 1900
and of Idaho in 1912, but in both cases without a self-enacting clause. In both of these States the amend-
ments have remained a dead letter for lack of action by the Legislature: hence omitted from above table.
* 'Indirect, as applied to the Initiative and Referendum, means that opportunity must be given for
action bv the Legislature on initiated measures before their submission at the polls. If not passed by the
Leglslatiire the measure must then go to the polls.
t Kansas and Louisiana: Amendments lor the Recall were adopted In 1914 by the voters of Kansas
(10 per cent petition for State. 15 per cent, for a county, and 25 per cent, tor a municipality) and by the
voters of Louisiana (25 per cent petition).
Municipal: The Initiative and Referendum and the Recall are now in operation, more or less completely.
In over 300 municipalities, some under general State laws and others by special charter acts. Many such
municipalities are In States not having the State-wide Initiative and Referendum or Recall.

NEW YORK WATER SUPPLY.
New York City has grown so rapidly in the past ten years that the water system, which, when ftrsi
planned, was considered ample for many years, has been taxed to its limit, and there is at present an urgent
need for the new system, which is now nearly completed, for bringing water from the Catskill Mountains.
The city consumes every day for domestic, sanitary, and manufacturing purposes about 550,000,000 gallons
of water, or nearly 100 gallons a day per inhabitant. The new Catskill Aqueduct will have a capacity of
600,000,000 gallons a day, and the largest reservoir (the Ashokan) in the system, once filled, could supply
the city for seven months at the present rate of consumption without any water flowing Into it.
In Brooklyn there are two high pressure fire ser-
vice systems — one protecting the business and manu-
facturing districts, and the other the amusement
section of Coney Island.
The one for the business and manufacturing dis-
tricts is bounded by the Navy Yard, St. Edward's
Street, St. Felix Street, Fort Grfeene Place, Filth
Avenue, Twenty-fourth Street, Fourth Avenue,
Thirty-ninth Street and the water front, covering
an area of 4.8 square miles. The supply is furnished
by two stations, the main one being located at the
foot of Joralemon Street, and the reserve one at
Willoughby and St. Edward's Streets. Both draw
their supply from the Ridgewood mains, the main
station being also connected to the East River.
The pumps are electrically operated in both stations,
and have a combined rated capacity of 24,000 gal-
lons per minute against a pressure of 300 pounds per
square inch. The distributing system consists of
about 34 miles of mains, 8 to 20 inches in diameter,
witli the usual hydrants.
The Coney Island high-pressure system protects
an area of 470 acres. The pumping station is lo-
cated at West Twelfth Street and Coney Island
Creek. Gas engine driving pumps are installed,
the total capacity bemg 4,500 gallons per minute
pumping to a pressure of 150 pounds per square
inch. The water is distributed through six miles
of mains, 8 to 16 inches in diameter, having hydrants
where necessary.
THE CATSKILL SYSTEM.
The Catskill water supply system, the partial
development of which is hearing completion, at
present comprises the following reservoirs; Ashokan
for impounding the water, Keasico for storage. Hill
View for equalizing and dLstributing, and Silver
Lake for distributing and serving as a terminal
reservoir, and besides these reservoirs the Catskill
Aqueduct for conveying the water. In New York
City the system is hiter-connected with existing
pipe lines. However, the city pumping plants in
Manhattan and the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and
Richmond, which pumped during the year 1915
about 400,000,000 gallons dally, and the various pri-
vate plants, which during 1915 supplied about 34,-
000,000 gallons daily, may in part be dispensed with,
as the water brought by the new Catskill system
will have in general sufficient pressure to reach the
twentieth floor of a building situated at tide level.
Ashokan Reservoir — The main suppty will be Im-
pounded or collected in the Ashokan Reservoir,
which is 13 miles west of Kingston, N. Y., from its
tributary watersheds — the Esopus, now almost
fully developed. 255 square miles In extent, and the
Schoharie, 314 square miles, for which construction
studies are now being made.
The Ashokan Reservoir, formed by the Olive
Bridge Dam and a number of dikes, is approximately
12 miles long by one mile wide, with a maximum
depth of 190 feet. When full, the surface of the water
is 590 feet above sea level. Over a series of dry years
the Esopus watershed cannot be depended upon to
supply more than 250,000,000 gallons daily, but the
Catskill Aqueduct has for economic reasons been
constructed lor 500,000,000 gallons' daily capacity.
Surveys and investigations by borings have fl-\ed
upon Gilboa as the site of the proposed dam across
Schoharie Creek, the watershed of which is counted
upon to furnish the additional 250,000,000 gallons
of water daily to utilize the Catskill Aqueduct to
its full capacity. This involves the connection of
the Schoharie Reservoir formed by the dam at Gil-
boa with the tributaries of the Ashokan Reservoir
through a 17-mile tunnel.
Catskill Aqueduct — Leading from the Ashokan
Reservoir is the Catskill Aqueduct conveying the
water to Storm King, four miles above West Point,
then under the Hudson River in a tunnel to Break-
neck Mountain, from Breakneck Mountain to
Kensico Reservoir (east of Tarry town, N. Y.), and
THE PRESENT SY>STEM.
The water supply of the City of New York is di-
vided by boroughs, those of Manhattan and Bronx
being taken together, as they are practically sup-
plied fro^ the same sources. In the Boroughs of
Manhattan and Bionx the supply is by means of
gravity, the water being pumped to the higher parts
of the borougiis. In the lower part of Manhattan
and certain business districts of Brooklyn an inde-
pendent system known as the high pressure fire ser-
vice is used excl\isively for fire protection purposes.
The high pressure Ore service system usually draws
its supply from the distributing mains; in case of
emergency provision has been made so that salt
water can be used;
The Boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx are sup-
plied from both the Croton and the Bronx and By-
ram watersheds. The Croton covers an area of 375
square miles, and from various reservoirs water is
brought through more than 30 miles of masonry
conduit to distributing reservoirs in the boroughs.
The Bronx and uyram watershed covers an area of
about 22 square miles.
In Manhattan Croton water is used entirely, but
in the Bronx about one-half of the population is
supplied with Croton water, the other half being
supplied from the new Kensico Reservoir, which is
fed from the Catskill shed, supplemented by the
Bronx and Byram Rivers. Approximately 350,-
000,000 gallons are used every day in Manhattan
and the Bronx.
In Brooklyn about 80 per cent, of the water comas
from wells, and the remainder from small streams,
the watersheds having an area of nearly 170 square
miles. All the water is pumped, and about 150,000,-
000 gallons are consumed daily from municipal and
private sources. Flatbush and Borough Park are
supplied by private companies from wells.
The city supplies only the First and Third Wards
In the Borough of Queens, while the other wards
are supplied by private companies. The water is
taken chiefly from wells, and the consumption aver-
ages about 36,000,000 gallons daily.
In Richmond the city owns the wells, which fur-
nish about 11,500,000 gallons daily.
Hioli Pressure Fire Service System — The high pres-
sure fire service system in Manhattan Is bounded by
rhirty-fourth Street, Madison Avenue, Twenty-
fourth Street, Lexington Avenue, Fourteenth Street,
Third Avenue, Bowery, Houston Street, East River,
Battery, North River, and covers an area of 5.8
square miles.
There are two pumping stations — one located at
Gansevoort and West Streets, and the other at
Oliver and South Streets. Each station has six
electrically driven centrifugal pumps that are con-
nected to the Croton supply (see above), the Ganse-
voort and West Street station being al.so connected
to the North River, and the Oliver and South Street
station to the East River. Thus either fresh or salt
water may be used, the latter, however, only being
used in emergencies. Each pump can deliver 3,000
gallons a minute under a pressure of 300 pounds
per square inch at the station. The combined ca-
pacity of the two stations Is equal to about 50 fire
engines delivering two good-sized streams. The
pumping stations respond to every alarm with a
pressure of 125 pounds per square inch.
The distributing system consists of 128 miles of
mains, 8 to 24 inches in diameter, and about 2,750
four-nozzle hydrants and the necessary valves.
The pressure at any point can be Increased or de-
creased by telephoning to the pumping stations.
For this purpose there are approximately 696 tele-
phone boxes, besides telephones communicating
with the Fire Department headquarters and with
the main and subsidiary stations of the New York
Edison Company, from which the necessary electric
power is obtained.
The present system cost about 56,762,000 for sta-
tions, land, mains, and appurtenances.

NEW YORK WATER SVPPJ.Y— Continued.
from the latter to Hill View Reservoir In Yoakers,
just north of the city line.
The type of construction depends entirely on the
nature of the country the aqueduct crosses.
Wherever possible it is built In the open — that is,
out-and-cover, but In many cases tunnels and siphons
are required. The out-and-cover portion is of con-
crete, having a horseshoe-shaped cross section 17
feet high and 17 feet 6 inches wide, with the flat
part resting on the ground. The dimensions of the
tunnels range from approximately those just given
to a circular section 14 feet 6 inches in diameter.
The entire waterway is concrete lined.
The most difficult tunnel to bore was the one un-
der the Hudson River, between Storm King and
Brealcneclt Mountains. Here it was necessary to
cut through solid rocli at a distance of 1,100 feet be-
low the surface of the river. From Brealineck
Mountain to Kensico Reservoir cut-and-cover con-
struction, with an occasional tunnel or siphons
followed; similarly Kensico Reservoir Is connected
to Hill View Reservoir, and from the latter is the
tunnel for supplying New York. The Catskill
Aqueduct, from Ashokan Reservoir to the city line
at Yonkers, is about 92 miles long, 55 miles being
cur^and-cover, 31 miles tunnels, and 6 miles of steel
pipes.
Ciiv Tunnel of Catskill Aqueduct — -The city tunnel
from Hill View Reservoir passes under the Borough
of the Bronx, the Harlem River, the Borough of
Manhattan, and the East River, terminating in
Brooklyn, a distance of 18 miles. At the Brooklyn
terminal pipes extend to the Boroughs of Queens
and Richmond, the pipes to the latter being of cast
iron, crossing the Narrows and discharging into an
equalizing reservoir at Silver Lake, 225 feet above
sea level.
The tunnel Is circular in section, reducing from 15
feet to 11 feet in diameter, lined with concrete, and
varying from 250 to 750 feet deep in solid rock. It
thus passes far below all subway and building founda-
tions. About every 4,000 feet there are connections
to the present distributing systefn through control-
ling valves set to furnish the water at any lower
pressure than that in the tunnel which existing con-
ditions may require.
The tunnel Is capable of delivering 500,000,000
gallons daily, the water rising at the Brooklyn end
to nearly 240 feet above tide water, a height suf-
ficient to supply without pumping the highest sec-
tions of the borough. The estimated cost of the
tunnel and pipes within the city and the reservoir
on Staten Island is §25,000,000.
The total cost of the entire system as [Projected,
including the development of the Schoharie water-
shed, the necessary r&servolrs, Catskill Aqueduct,
and all appurtenances will be about S177,000,000.
It is anticipated that the work now under way for
the delivery of the yield of Esopus watershed, 250,-
000,000 gallons daily, will be completed in 1917.
Construction operations have been in progress
about nine years, and 8100,000,000 worth of con-
tracts have been awarded. The development of the
Esopus watershed is completed, from which a daily
yield of 250,000,000 gallons is obtainable. The
aqueduct to deliver this water to the Ave boroughs
of the city is finished with the exception of contract
tests of the city tunnel, a few minor items of con-
struction and equipment, operating tests of the en-
tire work, and final preparations for service. The
Ashokan impounding reservoir was in August, 1916,
storing 118,400,000,000 gallons of water, over 90
per cent, of its capacity. Kensico Storage Reservoir,
through record-breaking progress in the construc-
tion of Kensico Dam, is so nearly completed as to
permit the storage of water. Hill View Equalizing
Reservoir is finished, while Silver Lake Terminal
Reservoir, commenced in August, ^913, is over
three-quarters done. None of the last three men-
tioned reservoirs is immediately essential to the
temporary operation of the aqueduct.
THE KNIGHTS OF KING ARTHUR.
The Knights of King Arthur Is the largest church-boys' organization in the world, having 3,200 chapters
and enrolling 150,000 boys in this country and Canada. Undenominational, it has found continual succes-s
in all churches, Y. M. C. A's and schools in all parts of the country. It is a fraternity, private but not secret,
self-governing and under the control of the local church. Based upon the oldest English Christian legend
that of the Round Table, it is a revival of the nobler side of mediaeval chivalry. While religious, the plan
allows ample opportunity for athletic, out-door activities, parliamentary, social, educational and religious-
interests. Founded in 1893 by Rev. William Byron Forbush it has had a continual and steady \ growth.

SUBWAY SYSTEMS IN NEW YORK CITY.
For Tunnels In and about New York City, eee Index.
THE FIRST SUBWAY.
Thb subway operated by the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company comprises;
A four-track trunk line from City Hall Park
through Lafayette Street, Fourth Avenue. Forty-
second Street and Broadway to Ninety-sixth Street.
A two-track southern extension from City Hall,
down Broadway to the Battery, there connected
by the Rapid Transit Tunnel under the East River
to the Brooklyn subway, which extends along
Joralemon and Fulton Streets to Atlantic Avenue.
Two northern branches from Ninety-.sixth Street,
viz. (a) the Broadway and (ft) the Lenox Avenue,
(o) The Broadway or West Side branch extends
along Broadway, St. Nicholas and Amster-
dam Avenues and Broadway to 242d Street
(Van Cortlandt Park). It has three
tracks from Ninety-sixth Street to 137th
Street and two beyond. Part of 11 Is an
elevated structure.
(6) The Lenox Avenue branch has two tracks
(portions ot which are carried on an elevated
structure) with a terminal at Bronx Park.
The Lenox Avenue branch leaves the trunk
line at about 103d Street, runs easiwardly to
and under the northwest corner of Central
Park, thence north through Lenox Avenue to
about 141st Street, where It branches off
to the eastward and runs through various
streets to Westchester Avenue, through
Westchester Avenue to Southern Boulevard,
and through Southern Boulevard to the
terminus of the line at Bronx Park, or 180th
Street
Total length of all the above routes, 26.3 miles,
having 85.2 miles of track. Standard four-track
cross section (two for express trains and two for
local) 54 feet 8H Inches wide over all and 16 feet
7 Inches hish, with roof supported by steel columns.
97,500 tons of structural steel and 725,000 cubic
yards of concrete used. The contract for the subway
in New York north ot City Hall was awarded Janu-
ary 15, 1900, to John B. McDonald and completed
by him October 27, 1904, as far as 145tb Street.
The Bronx extensions were not completed until
some time later. The contracts for subways south
of City Hall and in Brooklyn were awarded after
the one in New York, to the Rapid Transit Subway
Construction Company, and were completed in 1908.
Total cost about S7S,000,000. of which $50,000,000
was expended on the construction of the subway, and
§25,000,000 on the equipment: viz., power house,
rolling stock, signals, etc.

NEW RAPID TRANSIT LINES
Under the dual system of rapid transit for New
York City nil the rapid transit lines operated by
the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, including the
first subway and the elevated lines of the two sys-
tems, are combined In two great systems covering
lour of the five boroughs of the city. Each will
operate through the so-called community centre of
the city, namely the section of Manhattan Island
below Fifty-ninth Street.
The dual system was effectuated when the City
of New York through the Public Service Commis-
sion on March 19, 1913, entered into agreements (the
dual contracts) with the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company and the New York Municipal Railway
Corporation (an associated company of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company) for the construction and
operation of new subway lines and extensions,
elevated line extensions and third tracking of ele-
vated roads. Both the city and the two companies
contributed large sums for general construction,
while equipment was to be provided by the com-
panies. .^11 subways and elevated extensions of
subways are owned by the city while elevated lines,
elevated extensions and third tracking on elevated
roads are the property of the companies. The dual
contracts Included leases to the companlfis of the
lines to be operated by them and their subsidiaries
under terms regarded as favorable to the city.
The contracts called for the construction of 44.55
miles of new subway, 53.19 miles of new elevated
road, and 19.8 .r.-ll-;* of third track and other ad-
ditional tracks on the existing elevated railroads.
The major portion of the lines authorized under
the dual contracts will be either in operation or ready
for operation during the year 1917. Some of the
lines are already in use and all, save a few of the
principal general construction contracts have been
awarded. Some construction was authorized sub-
sequent to the completion of the first subway and
prior to the signing of the dual contracts In 1913.
Practically all such work is now completed and In
operation. The Centre Street loop subway In
Manhattan, together with the trunk line of the
Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn, system and two of il3
South Brooklyn feeder lines; the Liberty Avenue
extension of the Fulton Street elevated line in Brook-
lyn, and portions of the third tracks on the Brooklyn
elevated lines are now in operation by the Brooklyn
company.
The Queensboro subway, a portion of the Inter-
borough's lines, is in operation for part of its length;
the new elevated third tracks in Manhattan are also
being operated. The great rapid transit system
of northern Queens, connected into New York by
way of the Queensboro subway, will be the next of
the dual lines to be placed in operation, to be followed
shortly by the Jerome Avenue extension and the
White Plains Road extension in the Bronx.
The first subway forms the nucleus of the Inter-
borough's underground lines. It is being extended
up Lexington Avenue from Forty-third Street, with
branches in the Bronx leading to Woodlawn and

SUBWAY SYSTEMS IN NEW YORK CITY — Continued.
Pelham Bay Park. It Is also being extended down
Seventh Avenue from Forty-second Street, wltu
one branch leading to the Battery and another
leading Into Brooklyn through Park Place, Beekman
and William Streets, and under river tunnel. Ex-
tensions of the Interborough system in Brooklyn
include a subway along Eastern Parkvvay and Nos-
trand Avenue and an elevated ex\,ension of the
Eastern Parkway line on Livonia Avenue. Another
Important Interborough extension is that on White
Plains Road, the Bronx, starting from a connection
with the West Farms branch of the first subway
near 178th Street and extending north to 241st
Street near the city line.
The Fourth Avenue subway In Brooklyn is the
great trunk line of the New York Municipal Railway
Corporation's system. The New Utrecht Avenue
line, formerly known as the West End line, the Sea
Beach line — both of which are practically completed
— and the Gravesend Avenue line, now under con-
struction, constitute three of the South Brooklyn
extensions of this system. Tliey formerly served
as extensions of the Fifth Avenue elevated line.
Later, the Brighton Beach elevated line is also to
be connected with the Fourth Avenue system. The
extension of the Brooklyn Fourth Avenue line in
Manhattan is being built under Broadway and
Seventh Avenue north to Fifty-ninth Street, from
which point a line is being built to the east under
Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth Streets and by tunnel to
Queens, where connection is made with the Queens
lines, which will be jointly operated by the mier-
borouith Rapid Transit Company and the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company. The Fourth Avenue sub-
way reaches into Manhattan by way of the .Man-
hattan Bridge, and later by way of tunnels under
the East River near the Battery Another subway
line now under contract will <oe^\n at Sixth Avenue
and Fourteenth Street, Manhattan, extend under the
East River to the Eastern District and Bushwick
sections of Brooklyn, and connect eventually with
the Broadwav, Brooklyn, elevated line. This line is
for operation by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com-
pany.
Other extensions and improvements are the con-
nection of the Third Avenue elevated railroad in the
Bronx along Webster Avenue to a junction with
the White Plains Road line, a connection between
the Ninth Avenue elevated line across the Harlem
River with the Jerome Avenue extension of the
Lexington Avenue subway, a connection of the
Lenox Avenue branch of t.he first subway and the
Jerome Avenue line, and a connection between the
Third Avenue elcv'ated and the West Farms branch
ol the first subway.
Another extension of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company will .be thai ot *i,he Queensboro
subway from its present western terminus at Park
Avenue, Manhattan, west to Times Square, for
which two of the tracks of the present subway under
Forty-second Street will be utilized.
A Brooklyn extension not heretofore mentioned
la that of the Lexington Avenue elevated line from
Cypress Hills along Jamaica Avenue to Cliffside
Avenue, Jamaica, and the elevated extension of the
Lutheran Cemetery line from Rldgewood to Metro-
politan Avenue.
Under the dual system there will be built four new
tunnels under the East River of two tubes each, all
of which are under construction. One of these
tunnels extends from Whitehall Street, Manhattan, to
Montague Street in Brooklyn lor operation by the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company; another between
Old Slip, Manhattan, and Clark Street, Brooklyn, for
operation by the Interborough Rapid Transit Com-
pany, a third from East Fourteenth Street, Manhat-
tan, to North Seventh Street, Brooklyn, for operation
by the Brooklyn company: and the fourth Irom East
Sixtieth Street, Manhattan, to North Jane Street,
Queens, to be operated by the Brooklyn company.
The Whitehall-Montague Street line will form a
connection between the lower end of Broadway,
Manhattan, division of the Brooklyn Fourth Avenue
eystem. The Old Slip-Clark Street tunnel will
carry the Park Place, Beekman and William Streets
extension of the Interborough's new Seventh Avenue
Uce into Brooklyn. The tunnel at Fourteenth Street
will carry the Fourteenth Street-Eastern line be-
neath the East River, while the tunnel at Sixtieth
Street, Manhattan, carries the tracks of the Fifty-
ninth and Sixtieth Streets subway in Manhattan to a
connection with the new Queens lines at the Queens-
boro Bridge Plaza station.
Of the remaining few dual system construction
contracts yet to be let, the most important is that
of the line under Nassau Street, Manhattan, whlcli
will connect the Centre Street Loop line with the
Whitehall-Montague Street tunnel.
When the dual system is in full operation the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit trains will be able to enter
Manhattan by means of four bridges across and
two tunnels under the East lUver, and can be op-
erated northward through Broadway and Seventh
Avenue to Fifty-ninth Street, and eastward through
Fifty-ninth Street and over the Queensboro Bridge
to Astoria and Corona in Queens. On the Brook-
lyn side the system will include the lines to Coney
Island and other remote parts of the borough.
Over the whole Brooklyn part of the system the
fare will be five cents and transfers will be freely
given, so that It will be possible for a passenger
to take a train at Corona, near Flushing, ride through
to Manhattan at Fifty-ninth Street, south to Canal
Street, and then across the Manhattan Bridge
and through the Fourth Avenue subway and ita
connections to Coney Island lor a single fare. As
soon as the South Brooklyn elevated railroads are
rebuilt and it is possible lor the Brooklyn company
to operate continuous trains from Manhattan to
Coney Island, the five-cent fare to Coney Island
will be an assured fact.
On that part of the system to be operated by
the Interborough company, the length of the five-
cent fare will be greatly extended. A passenger
will be able to ride from Pelham Bay Park, through
the Bronx into Manhattan, down tlie whole length
of Manhattan, under the East River to Brooklyn
and out Eastern Parkway and Livonia Avenue to
New Lots Road lor a single five-cent fare. Trans-
fers will be given upon all parts of the Interborough
system, except that there will be no further trans-
fers than are at present allowed between the ele-
vated railroads and the subway.
In the dual system the rapid transit lines now-
operated by both the Interborough and Brooklyn
comp.inies will be linked with the new lines built
and to be built by the city and by the companies,
so that old and new In each company's territory
may be operated as one system. Toward the new
system allotted to the Interborough Company
the city contributes the existing subway, and the
company the existing elevated lines in Manhat-
tan and the Bronx, Toward the new system for the
Brooklyn lines the city contributes the Broadway,
the Fourth Avenue, Fourteenth Street and Centre
Street Loop subways, with 110 miles of track, and
the company contrll)utes the existing elevated
railroads in Brooklyn, with 10-5 miles of single track.
The elevated railroads in each case are owned by
private companies, but the existing subway is owned
by the City of New York, altliough under lease to
the Interborough Rapid Transit Company.
The city is to furnish most of the money for the
building ol the new lines under the operating con-
tracts, but each company is to contribute toward
the cost of construction and is to bear the entire
cost of equipment. The equipment is to become the
property of the City of New York when placed in
operation, and the cost of it is to be amortized
out of earnings. The cost of construction and
equipment of the entire system will be about S3.52,-
000,000. if the companies do not exceed their original
estimates for equipment. The City of New York
will pay about 8186,000,000, the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company $105,000,000, and the
New York Municipal Railway Corporation S61,-
000,000. Of the amounts to be paid by the com-
panies. S.'iS.OOO.OOO of the Interborough's total and
S13,. 500,000 of the New York Municipal Railway's
total will be expended upon the construction of
lines to be owned by the City of New York. The
balance of the money will be spent for equipment,
which, at the end of the lease, wlU also become th*
property o{ the city.

NATIONALr PLATFORMS OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN 1916.
NATIONAL PLAXrORM OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ADOPTED AT ST. LOUIS. MO..
In some respects their eKecta are yet conjectural
PREAMBLE.
The Democratic Party. In National Convention
assembled, adopts the following declaration to the
end that the people of the United States may both
realize the achievements wrought by four years of
Democratic administration and be apprised of the
policies to which the party is committed lor the
further conduct of national affairs.
RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT.
We Indorse the administration of WoodrovT
Wilson. It spealfs for Itself. It is the best exposition
of sound. Democratic policy at home and abroad.
We challenge comparison of our record, our
keeping of pledges and our constructive legislation
with those of any party of any time.
We found our country hampered by special
privilege, a vicious tariff, obsolete banking laws
and an inelastic currency. Our foreign affairs
were dominated by commercial interests for their
selfish ends. The Republican Party, despite repeated
pledges, was Impotent to correct abuses which It
had fostered. Under our administration, under a
leadership which has never faltered, these abuses
have been corrected, and our people have been freed
therefrom.
Our archaic hanking and currency system, pro-
lific of panic and disaster under Republican Admln-
tstrations — long the refuge of the Money Trust
— has been supplanted by the Federal Reserve
Act, a true democracy of credit under Govern-
ment control, already proved a financial bulwarls
In a world crisis, mobilizing our resources, placing
abundant credit at the disposal of legitimate indus-
try, and making a currency panic impossible. We
have created a Federal Trade Commission to ac-
commodate the perplexing questions arising under
the Anti-Trust Laws, so that monopoly may be
strangled at Its birth and legitimate industry en-
couraged. Fair competition In business is now
We liave effected an adjustment of the tariff,
adequate for revenue under peace conditions, and
fair to the consumer and to the producer. We
have adjusted the burdens of ta.\ation so that swollen
Incomes bear their equitable shares. Our revenues
have been sufficient in times of world stress, and will
largely exceed the expenditures for the ciu'rent
fiscal year.
We have lifted human labor from the category of
commodities, and have secured to the working
man the right of voluntary association for his pro-
tection and welfare; we have protected the rights
of the laborer against the unwarranted issuance
of writs of Injunction, and have guaranteed to him
the right of trial by jury in case ol alleged contempt
committed outside the presence of the court.
We have advanced the parcel post to genuine
efficiency, enlarged the postal savings system,
added 10,000 rural delivery routes and extensions,
thus reaching 2,500,000 additional people, improved
the postal service in every branch, and for the fh-st
time in our history placed the post-office system
on a self-supporting basis, with actual surplus in
1913, 1914 and 1916.
ECONOMIC FREEDOM.
The reforms which were most obviously needed
to clear away privilege, prevent unfair discrimination,
and release the energies of men of all ranks and
advantages, have been effected by recent legisla-
tion. We must now remove, so far as possible,
every remaining element of unrest and uncertainty
from the path of the business men of America and
secure for them a continued period of quiet, assured
and confident prosperity.
TARIFF.
We reaffirm our belief In the doctrine of a tariff
for the ptu-pose of providing sufficient revenue for
the operation of the Government economically
administered, and unreservedly indorse tlie Under-
wood tariff law as truly exemplifying that doctrine.
We recognize that tariff rates are necessarily subject
to change to meet changing conditions in the world's
production and trade. The events of the last two
years have brought about many momentous changes.
and wait to be disclosed, particularly In regard to
our foreign trade. , j, ^, . , ^
Two years of a war which has directly Involved
most of the chief Industrial nations of the world,
and which has indu-ectly affected the life and mdu9-
try of all nations, are bringing about econonuo
changes more varied and far reacUng than the
world has ever before experienced. In order to ascer-
tain just what those changes may be, the Democratlo
Congress Is providing for a non-partisan tariff com-
mission to make impartial and thorough study
of every economic fact that may throw light either
upon our past or upon our future fiscal policy with
regard to the imposition of taxes on imports or with
regard to the changed and changing conditiona
under which our trade is carried on. We cordially
indorse this timely proposal and declare ourselves
in sympathy with the principle and purpose of
shaping legislation within that field in accordance
with clearly established facts rather than in ac-
cordance with the demands of selfish interests or
upon information provided largely, if not exclusively,
by them.
AMERICANISM.
The part the United States will play In the new
day of international relationships which is now upon
us will depend upon our preparation and our char-
acter. The Democratic Party therefore recognizes
the assertion and triumphant demonstration of the
indivisabiiity and coherent strength of the Nation
as the supreme issue of this day, in which the whole
world faces the crisis of manifold change. It sum-
mons all men, of whatever origin or creed, who
would count themselves Americans, to Join In mak-
ing clear to all the world the unity and consequent
power of America. „ ^ . ^ ,^ _.....
This is an issue of patriotism. To taint It with
partisanship would be to defile It. In this day of
test America must show itself not a Nation of
partisans, but a Nation of patriots. There is
gathered here In America the best of the blood,
the industry and the genius of the whole world,
the elements of a great race, and a magnificent
society to be melted Into a mighty and splendid
nation.
Whoever, actuated by the purpose to promote
the interest of a foreign power in disregard of our
own country's welfare or to injure this Government
in its foreign relations or cripple or destroy its in-
dustries at home, and whoever, by arousing prejudices
of a racial, religious or other nature, creates discord
and strife among our people so as to obstruct the
wholesome process of unification, is faithless to the
trust which the privileges ol citizenship repose
in him and disloyal to his country.
We, therefore, condemn as subversive of this
Nation's unity and integrity, and as destructive
of its welfare, the activities and designs of every
group or organization, political or otherwise, that
has for its object the advancement of the Interest
of a foreign power, whether such object Is pro-
moted by intimidating the Government, a political
party, or representatives of the people, or which is
calculated and tends to divide our people Into
antagonistic groups, and thus to destroy that com-
plete agreement and solidarity ol the people, and that
unity of sentiment and national purpose so essen-
tial to the perpetuity of the Nation and Its free
institutions. , ._ .
We condemn all alliances and combinations of
individuals in this country, of whatever nationality
or descent, who agree and conspire together for the
purpose of embairassing or weakening our Govern-
ment or of improperly influencing or coercing our
public representatives, in dealing or negotiating
with any foreign power.
We charge that such conspiracies among a llmltea
number exist, and have been instigated for the
purpose of advancing the interests of foreign coun-
tries to the prejudice and detriment of our own
country. We condemn any political party which,
in view of the activity of such conspirators, sur-
renders its Integrity or modifies its policy.
PREPAREDNESS.
Along with the proof of our character as a Nation
880

must go the proof of our power to play the part that
legitimately belongs to us. The people of the
United States love peace. They respect the rights
and covet the friendship of all other nations. They
desire neither any additional territory nor any
advantage which cannot be peacefully gained by
their skill, their Industry or their enterprise; but
they insist upon having absolute freedom of national
life and policy, and feel that they owe it to them-
selves, and to the role of spirited Independence
which It is their sole ambition to play, that they
should render themselves secure against the hazard
of Interference from any quarter, and should be
able to protect their rights upon the seaa or In any
part of the world.
We therefore favor the maintenance of an army
fully adequate to the requirements of order, of
safety and of the protection of the Nation's rights,
the fullest development of modern methods of sea-
coast defence, and the maintenance of an adequate
reserve of citizens trained to arms and prepared
to safeguard the people and territory of the United
States against any danger of hostile action which
may unexpectedly arise, and a fixed policy for the
continuous development of a navy worthy to support
the great naval traditions of the United States, and
fully equal to the international tasks which the
United States hopes and expects to take a part in
performing. The plans and enactments of the
present Congress afford substantial proof of our pur-
pose in this exigent matter.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.
The Democratic Administration has throughout
the present war scrupulously and successfully held
to the old paths of neutrality and of the peaceful
pursuit of the legitimate objects of our national life,
which statesmen of all parties and creeds have pre-
scribed for themselves in America since the begin-
ning of our history. But the circumstances of the last
two years have revealed necessities of International
action which no former generation can have foreseen.
We hold that it is the duty of the United States
to use its power not only to make Itself safe at home
but also to make secure its just Interests throughout
the world, and both for this end and In the Interest
of humanity to assist the world In securing settled
peace and Justice.
We believe that every people has the right to
choose the sovereignty under which It shall Jive;
that the small states of the world have a right to
enjoy from other nations the same respect for their
sovereignty «,nd for their territorial Integrity
that great and powerful nations expect and Insist
upon, and that the world has a right to be free from
every disturbance of its peace that has its origin in
aggression or disregard of the rights of peoples and
nations, and we believe that the lime has come when
It Is the duty of the United States to join with the
other nations of the world in any feasible association
that will effectively serve these principles, to main-
tain Inviolate the complete security of the highway
of the seas for the common and unhindered use of
all nations.
The present administration has consistently
sought to act upon and realize In Its conduct of the
foreign affairs of the Nation the principle that should
be the object of any association of the nations
formed to secure the peace of the world and the
maintenance of national and Individual right. It
has followed the highest American traditions.
It has preferred respect for the fundamental
rights of smaller states, even to property interests,
and has secured the friendship of the people of these
states for the United States by refusing to make a
more material Interest an excuse for the assertion
of our superior power against the dignity of their
sovereign Independence.
It has regarded the lives of Its citizens and the
claims of humanity as of greater moment than
material rights, and peace as the best basis for the
just settlement of commercial claims. It has made
the honor and Ideals of the United States Its stand-
ard alike In negotiation and action.
PAN-AMERICAN CONCORD.
We recognize now, as we have always recognized,
a definite and common interest between the United
States w'*h the other peoples and republics of the
West/TD Hemisphere In all matters of national
Independence and free political development. \Vc-
favor the establishment and maintenance of the
closest relations of amity and mutual helpfulnes-s.
between the United States and the other republics
of the American continents for the support of peace
and the promotion of a common prosperity. To
that end we favor all measures which may be neces-
sary to facilitate intimate intercourse and promote
commerce between the United States and her neigh-
bors to the south of us, and such international
understandings as may be practicable and suitable
to accomplish these ends.
We commend the action of the Democratic
Administration In holding the Pan-American Finan-
cial Conference at Washington In May, 1915, and
organizing the International High Commission,
which represented the United States in the recent
meeting of representatives of the Latin-American
republics at Buenos Ayres. April, 1910, which have
8o greatly promoted the friendly relations between
the people of the Western Hemisphere.
The Monroe Doctrine is reasserted as a principle
of Democratic faith. That doctrine guarantees the
independent republics of the two Americas against
aggression from another continent. It Implies
as well the most scrupulous regard upon our part
for the sovereignty of each of them.
The want of a stable, responsible Government
in Mexico, capable of repressing and punishing
marauders and bandit bands, who have not only
taken the lives and seized and destroyed the property
of American citizens in that country, but have In-
solently Invaded our soil, made war upon and mur-
dered our people thereon, has rendered it necessary
temporarily to occupy, by our armed forces, a por-
tion of the territory of that friendly state, where
until by the restoration of iaw and order therein,
a repetition of such incursions is improbable, the
necessity for their remaining will continue.
Intervention, Implying as it does military sub-
jugation, is revolting to the people of the United
States, nowlthstanding the provocation to that
course has been great, and should be resorted to.
If at all, only as a last resort. The stubborn resistance
of the President and his advisers to every demand
and suggestion to enter upon it. is creditable alike
to them and to the people In whose name he speaks.
MERCHANT MARINE.
Immediate provision should be made for the
development of the carrying trade of the United
States. Our foreign commerce has In the past
been subject to many unnecessary and vexatious
obstacles in the way of legislation of Republican
Congresses. Until the recent Democratic tariff
legislation it was hampered by unreasonable bur-
dens of taxation. Until the recent banking legisla-
tion It had at it« disposal few of the necessary instru-
mentalities of international credit and exchange.
Until the formulation of the pending act to promote
the construction of a merchant marine it lacked
even the prospect of adequate carriage by sea.
We heartily indorse the purposes and policy of
the pending Shipping Bill and favor all such ad-
ditional measures of constructive or remedial legis-
lation as may be necessary to restore our flag to
the seas and to provide further facilities for our
foreign commerce, particularly such laws as may be
made to remove unfair conditions of competition
in the dealings of American merchants and pro-
ducers with competitors in foreign markets.
CONSERVATION.
For the safeguarding and quickening of the life
of our own people, we favor the conservation and
development of the natural resources of the country
by means of a policy which shall be positive rather
than negative, a policy which shall not withhold
such resources from development, but which, while
permitting and encouraging their use, shall prevent
both waste and monopoly in their exploitation,
and we earnestly favor the passage of acts which
will accomplish these objects, and we reaffirm the
declaration of the platform of 1912 on this subject.
The policy of reclaiming our arid lands should be
steadily adhered to.
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE FARMER.
We favor the vigorous prosecution of investiga-
National Platforms of Political Parties in 1916.
881
NATIONAL PLATFORM OF THE DEMOCRATIC PAB.TY— Continued.
tlon and plans to render agriculture more profitable
and country life more healtWul, comfortable and
attractive, and we believe that this should be a
dominant aim of the Nation as well as of the States.
With all its recent improvement, farming still lags
behind other occupations in development as a busi-
ness, and the advantages of an advancing civilization
have not accrued to rural communities in a fair
proportion.
Much has been accomplished in this field under
the present Administration— tar more than under
any previous Administration. In the Federal
Reserve Act of the last Congress and the Rural
Credits Act of the present Cousress, the machinery
has been created which will make credit available to
the farmer constantly and readily, and he has at
last been put upon a foo.':ng of equality with the
merchant and the manufacturer in securing the
capital necessary to carry on his enterprises. Grades
and standards necessary to the intelligent and suc-
cessful conduct of the business of agriculture have
also been established, or are in the course of estab-
lishment by law.
The long needed Cotton Futures Act, passed
by the Sixty-third Congress, has now been in success-
ful operation for nearly two years. A Grain Grades
Bill, long needed, and a Permissive Warehouse
Bill, intended to provide better storage facilities
and to enable the farmer to obtain certificates upon
which he may secure advances of money, have been
passed by the House of Representatives, have been
favorably reported to the Senate and \nll probably
become law during the present session of Congress.
Both Houses have passed a good roads measure,
which will be of far reaching benefit to all agri-
cultural communities.
Above all, the most extraordinary and significant
progress has been made, under the direction of the
Department of Agricdlture, in extending and per-
fecting practical farm demonstration work, which
is so rapidly substituting scientific for enjpirical
farming. But it is also necessary that rural activi-
ties shoiUd he better directed tlirough co-operation
and organization, that unfair methods of com-
petition should be eliminated, and the conditions
requisite for the just, orderly and economical market-
ing of farm products created. We approve the
Democratic Administration for having emphatically
directed attention for the firat time to tiie es.'^.ential
Interests of agriculture involved in farm marketing
and finance, for creating the office of markets and
rural organi^^atiou in connection with the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, and for exi.ending the co-
operative machinery necessary for conveying in-
formation to farmer.? by means of demonstrations.
We favor continued liberal provision not only for
the benefit of production, but also for the study
and solutions of problems of farm marketing and
finance, and for the extension of existing agencies
lor improving country life.
GOOD ROADS.
The happiness, comfort and prosperity of rural
life and the development of the city are alike con-
served by the construction of public highways.
We therefore favor national aid in the construction
ol post roads and roads for military purposes.
GOVEnNlIENT EMPLOYMENT.
We hold that the life, health and strength of the
men, women and children of the Nation are its
greatest asset and that in the conservation of these
the Federal Government, wherever it acts as the
employer of labor, should both on its own account
and as an example, put into effect the following
principles of just employment:
(1) A living v/age for all employees.
(2) A working day not to exceed eight hours,
with one day of rest in seven.
(3) The adoption of safety appliances and the
establishment of thoroughly sanitary conditions of
labor.
(4) Adequate compensation tor industrial acci-
flents.
(5) The standards of the Uniform Child Labor
Law wherever minors are employed.
(6) Such provisions for decency, comfort and
health in the employment of women as should be
accorded the mothers of the race.
(7) An equitable retirement law providing for
the retirement of superannuated and disabled em-
ployees of the civil service, to the end that a higher
standard of efficiency may be maintained.
We believe also that the adoption of similar
principles should be urged and applied In the legis-
lation of the States with regard to labor within
their borders, and that through every possible
agency the life and health of the people of the Nation
should be conserved.
LABOR. .
We declare our faith in the Seamen's Act, passed
by the Democratic Congress, and we promise our
earnest continuance of its enforcement.
We favor the speedy enactment of an effective
Federal Child Labor Law and the regulation of the
shipment of prison made goods in interstate com-
merce.
We favor the creation of a Federal Biu-eau of
Safety in the Department of Labor, to gather facts
concerning industrial hazards and to commend
legislation concerning the maiming and kilUng of
human beings.
We favor the extension of the powers and ftmc-
tions of the Federal Bureau of Mines.
We favor the development upon a systematic
scale of the means already begun under the present
Administration, to assist laborers throughout the
Nation to seek and obtain employment, and the
extension by the Federal Government of the same
assistance and encouragement as is now given to
agricultural training.
We heartily recommend our newly established
Department of Labor tor its excellent record in
settling hidustrial strikes by personal advices and
through conciliating agents.
PUBLIC HEALTH.
We favor a thorough consideration of the means
and methods by wliich the Federal Government
handles questions of public health, to the end that
human life may be conserved by the elimination
of loathsome disease, the improvement of sanita-
tion and the diffusion of a knowledge of disease
prevention.
We favor the establishment by the Federal Govern-
ment of tuberculosis sanitariums for needy tubercular
patients.
SENATE RULES.
We favor such an alteration of the rules of pro-
cedure of the Senate of the United States as will
permit the prompt transaction of the Nation's
legislative businefjS.
ECONOMY AND THE BTTDGET.
We demand careful economy in all expenditures
for the support of tlio Government, and to that end
favor a return b.v the House of Repi'esentatives
to its former practice of initiating and preparing
all appropriation bills through a single committee
chosen from its membersiiip, in order that resnonsl-
billty may be centred, expenditure standardized
and made uniform, and waste and duplication in
the public service as much as possible avoided.
We favor tliis as a practicable first step toward
a budget system.
CIVIL SERVICE.
We reaffirm our declaration for the rigid enforce-
ment of the civil service laws.
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
We heartily indorse the provisions of the bill
recently passed by the House of Representatives
further firomoting self-government in the Philip-
pine Islands, as being in fulfilment of the policy
declared by the Democratic Party in its last national
platform, and we reiterate our endorsement of 'the
purpose of ultimate Independence for the Philip-
pine Islands expressed in the preamble of that
measure.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
We recommend the extension of the franchise
to the women of the country by the States upon
the same terms as to men.
PROTECTION OF CITIZENS.
We again declare the policy that the sacred
right of American citizenship must be preserved
at home and abroad, and that no treaty with any
882

NATIONAL, PLATFORM OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY— Cowiinueii.
other Goverament shall receive the sanction of our
Government which does not expressly recognize
the absolute equality of all our citizens, irrespective
of race, creed or previous nationality, and whicll
does not recognize the right of expatriation. The
American Government should protect American
citizens in their right not only at home but abroad,
and any country having a Government should be
held to strict accountability for any wrongs done
them, either to person or property.
At the earliest practical opportunity, our country
should strive earnestly for peace among the warring
nations of Europe and seek to bring about the
adoption of the fundamental principle of justice
and humanity, that all men shall enjoy equality of
right and freedom from discrimination in the lands
wherein they dwell.
PEiaON REFORM.
We demand that the modern principles of prison
reform be applied In our Federal penal system.
We favor such work for prisoners as shall give
them training in remunerative occupations, so that
they may make an honest living when released
from prison; the setting apart of the net wages of
the prisoner to be paid to his dependent family
or to be reserved for his own use upon his release:
the liberal extension of the principles of the Federal
Parole Law, with due regard both 'to the welfare
of the prisoner and the interests of society; the
adoption of the probation system, especially in
the case of first offenders not convicted of serious
crimes.
PENSIONS.
We renew the declarations of recent Democratic
platforms relating to generous pensions for soldiers
and their widows, and call attention to our record
of performance in this particular.
WATERWAY AND FLOOD CONTROIi,
We renew the declaration in our last two plat-
forms relating to the development of our waterways.
The recent devastation of the Lower Mississippi
Valley and several other sections by floods accentu-
ates the movement for the regulation of river flow
by additional bank and levee protection below, and
diversion storage and control of the flood waters
above, and their utilization for beneficial purposes
In the reclamation of arid and swamp lands, and
development of water power, instead of permitting
the floods to continue, as heretofore, agents of
destruction.
We hold that the control of the Mississippi River
is a national problem. The preservation of the
depth of its waters for purposes of navigation.
the building of levees and works of bank protection
to maintain the integrity of its channel and prevent
the overflow of its valley, resulting in the Interup-
tion of Interstate commerce, the disorganization
of the mail service and the enormous loss of life
and property, impose an obligation which alone
can be discharged by the National Government.
We favor the adoption of a liberal and compre-
hensive plan for the development and Improvement
of our harbors and Inland waterways with economy
and efficiency, so as to permit their navigation by
vessels of standard draught.
ALASKA.
It has been and will be the policy of the Demo-
cratic Party to enact all laws necessary for the
speedy development of Alaska and Its great natural
resources.
TERRITORIES.
We favor granting to the people of Alaska, Hawaii
and Porto Rico the traditional Territorial Govern-
ment accorded to all Territories of the United States
since the beginning of oiu* Government and we believe
the officials appointed to administer the Govern-
ment of those several Territories should be quali-
fied by previous bona-flde residence.
CANDIDATES.
We unreservedly Indorse our President and Vice
I>resldent, Woodrow Wilson of New .Jersey, and
Thomas Riley Marshall of Indiana, who have per-
formed the functions of their great offices faithfully
and impartially and with distinguished ability.
In particular we commend to tlie American people
the splendid diplomatic victories of oui- great Presi-
dent, who has preserved the vital interests of our
Government and its citizens and kept us out of war.
Woodrow Wilson stands to-day the greatest
American of his generation.
CONCLUSION.
Thla is a critical hour in the history of America,
a critical hour in the history of the world. Upon
the record above set forth, which shows great con-
structive achievement in following out a consistent
policy for our domestic and internal development;
upon the record of the Democratic Administration,
which maintained the honor, the dignity, and the
interests of the United States and at the same time
retained the respect and friendship of all the nations
of the world, and upon the great policies for the future
strengthening of the life of our country, the enlarge-
ment of our national vision rnd the ennobling of our
International relations, as set forth above, we appeal
' with confidence to the voters of the country.
NATIONAL PLATFORM OP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ADOPTED AT CHICAGO, ILL,
JUNE 8, 1916.
Following is the platform adopted by the Repub-
lican National Convention:
In 1861 the Republican party stood for the Union.
As It stood for the union of the States, it now stands
for a united people, true to American Ideals, loyal
to American traditions, knowing no allegiance ex-
cept to the Constitution, to the Government, and
to the flag of the United States. We beUeve in Amer-
ican policies at home and abroad.
PROTECTION OF AMERICAN EIGHTS.
We declare that we believe in and will enforce the
protection of every American citizen In all the rights
secured to him by the Constitution, treaties, and
the law of nations, at home and abroad, by land and
eea. These rights, which, in violation of the specific
promise of their party, made at Baltimore in 1912,
the Democratic President and the Democratic Con-
gress have failed to defend, we will unflinchingly
maintain.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
We desire peace, the peace of justice and right,
and believe In maintaining a straight and honest
neutrality between the belligerents in the great war
In Europe. We must perform all our duties and In-
sist upon all our rights as neutrals, without fear and
without favor. We believe that peace and neu-
trality, as well as the dignity and influence of the
United States, cannot be preserved by shitty ex-
pedients, by phrasemaklng, by performances in lan-
guage, or by attitudes ever changing hi an effort to
secure gi'oups of voters.
The present Administration has destroyed our In-
fluence abroad and humiliated us in our own eyes.
The Republican Party believes that a firm, con-
sistent, and courageous foreign policy, always main-
tained by Republican Presidents in accordance with
American traditions, is the best as it is the only
true way to preserve our peace and restore us to our
rightful place among the nations. We believe in
the pacific settlement of international disputes and
favor the establishment of a world court for that
purpose.
MEXICO.
We fleeply sympathize with the fifteen million
people of Mexico, who, for three years, have seen
their country devastated, their homes destroyed,
their fellow-citizens murdered and their women
outraged by armed bands of desperadoes led by self-
seeking, conscienceless agitators, who, when tem-
porarily successful in any locality, have neither
sought nor been able to restore order or establish
and maintain peace.
We express our horror and indignation at the out-
rages which have been and are being perpetrated by
these bandits upon American men and women, who
were or are in Mexico by invitation of the laws and
of the Government of that country, and whose
rights to security of person and property are guar-
anteed by solemn treaty obligations. We denounce
National Platforms of Political Parties in 1916.
883
NATIONAL PLATFORM OF TpE REPUBLICAN PARTY— Continued.
the indefensible methods of Interference employed
by this Administration in the internal affairs of
Mexico, and refer with shame to its failure to dis-
charge the duty of this country as next friend to
Jvlexico, its duty to other Powers who have relied
upon us as such friend, and its duty to our citizens
In Mexico, in permitting the continuance of such
conditions, first, by failure to act promptly and
firmly, and, secondly, by lending its influence to
the continuation of such conditions through recog-
nition of one of the factions responsible for these
outrages.
We pledge our aid in restoring order and main-
taining peace in Mexico. We promise to our citizens
on and near our border, and to those in Mexico,
wherever they may be found, adequate and abso-
lute protection in their lives, liberty, and property.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
We reaffirm our approval of the Monroe Doc-
trine, and declare its maintenance to be a policy of
this country essential to its present and future
peace and safety, and to the achievement of its
manifest destiny.
LATIN AMERICA.
We favor the continuation of Republican policies.
Which will result in drawing more and more closely
the commercial, financial and social relations be-
tween this country and the countries of Latin
America.
PHILIPPINES.
We renew our allegiance to the Philippine policy
Inaugurated by McKinley, approved by Congress,
and consistently carried out by Roosevelt and Taft.
Even in this short time it has enormously improved
the material and social conditions of the Islands,
given the Philippine people a constantly increasing
Eartlcipation in their Government, and, if persisted
t, will bring still greater benefits in the future.
We accepted the responsibility of the islands as
a duty to civilization and the Filipino people. To
leave with our task half done would break our
pledges, injure our prestige among nations, and im-
peril what already has been accomplished.
We condemn the Democratic Administration for
Its attempt to abandon the Philippines, which was
prevented only by the vigorous opposition of Re-
publican members of Congress, aided by a lew pa-
triotic Democrats.
RIGHT or EXPATRIATION.
We reiterate the unqualified approval of the action
taken in December, 1911, by the President and
Congress to secure with Russia, as with other coun-
tries, a treaty that will recognize the absolute right
of expatriation and prevent all discrimination of
whatever kind between American citizens, whether
native-born or alien, and regardless of race, religion,
or previous political allegiance. We renew the pledge
to observe this principle and to maintain the right
of asylum, which is neither to be surrendered nor
restricted, and we unite in the cherished hope that
the war which is now desolating the world may
Bpeedlly end, with a complete and lasting restoration
of brotherhood among the nations of the earth and
the assurance of full equal rights, civil and religious,
to ail men in every land.
PROTECTION OF THE COUNTRT.
In order to maintain our peace and make certain
the security of our people within our own borders,
the country must have not only adequate, but thor-
ough and complete national defence, ready for any
emergency. We must have a sutllcient and effective
regular army and a provision for ample reserves, al-
ready drilled and disciplined, who can be called at
once to the colors when the hour of danger comes.
We must have a navy so strong and so well pro-
portioned and equipped, so thoroughly ready and
prepared, that no enemy can gain command of the
8ea and effect a landing in force on either our West-
em or our Eastern coast. To secure these results
we must have a coherent and continuous policy of
national defence, which even in these perilous days
the Democratic party has utterly failed to develop,
but which we promise to give to the country.
TARIFF.
■ The Republican party stands now, as always, in
the fullest sense for the policy of tariff protection
to American industries and American labor, and
does not regard an anti-dumping provision as an
adequate substitute. Such protection should be
reasonable in amount, but sufficient to protect ade-
aiiatcij- American industry and American labor,
TRd be so adjusted as to prevent undue exactions by
monopolies or trusts. It should, moreover, give
special attention to securing the industrial inde-
pendence of the United States, as in the case of dye-
stuffs.
Through wise tariff and industrial legislation oiu*
industries can be so organized that they will become
not only a commercial bulwark but a powerful aid
to national defence.
The Underwood Tariff act is a complete failure In
every respect. Under its administration, imports
have enormously increased, in spite of the fact that
the intercourse with foreign countries has been
largely cut off by reason of the war, while the rev-
enues, of which we stand in such dire need, have
been greatly reduced. Under the normal conditions
which prevailed prior to the war, it was clearly
demonstrated that this act deprived the American
producer and the American wage-earner of that
protection which entitled them to meet their foreign
competitors, and, but for the adventitious condi-
tions created by the war, would long since have
paralyzed all forms of American Industry and de-
prived American labor of its just reward.
It has not in the least reduced the cost of living,
which has constantly advanced from the date ol
its enactment. The welfare of our people demands
its repeal and the substitution of a measure which,
in peace, as well as in war, will produce ample rev-
enue and give reasonable protection to all forms ot
American production in mine, forest, field and fac-
tory.
We favor the creation of a Tariff Commission,
with complete power to gather and compile infor-
mation for the use of Congress in all matters re-
" ■ to the tariff.
lating :
BUSINESS.
The Republican party has long believed In the
rigid supervision and strict regulation of the trans-
portation and great corporations of the country.
It has put its creed into its deeds, and all really ef-
fective laws regulating the railroads and the great
industrial corporations are the work of Republican
Congresses and Presidents. For this policy of regu-
lation and supervision the Democrats, in a stumbling
and piecemeal way, are undertaking to Involve the
Government in business which should be left within
the sphere of private enterprise and Indirect com-
petition with its own citizens, a policy which is sure
to result in waste, great expense to the taxpayer,
and in an inferior product.
The Republican party firmly believes that all
who violate the laws in regulation of business should
be Individually punished. But prosecution is very
different from persecution, and business success,
no matter how honestly attained, is apparently re-
garded by the Democratic party as in itself a crime.
Such doctrines and beliefs choke enterprise and
stifle prosperity. The Republican party believes In
encouraging American business, as it believes In and
will seek to advance all American interests.
RURAL CREDITS.
We favor an effective system ol rural credits aa
opposed to the ineffective law proposed by the
present Democratic Administration.
RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
We favor the extension of the rural free flelivery
system and condemn the Democratic Administra-
tion for curtailing and crippling it.
MERCHANT MARINE.
In view ol the policies adopted by all the marl-
time nations to encourage their shipping interests,
and in order to enable us to compete with them
for the ocean-carrying trade, we favor the payment
to ships engaged in the foreign trade of liberal com-
pensation for services actually rendered in carrying
the mails, and such further legislation as will build
up an adequate American merchant marine and give
us ships which may be requisitioned by the Gov-
ernment in time ol national emergency.
884
Hotels in Manhattan.
NATIONAL PLATFORM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY — C(mtlrMe&.
We are utterly opposed to the Government owner-
Ship of vessels, as proposed by the Democratic
Party, because Government owned ships, while ef-
fectively preventing the development of the Ameri-
can merchant marine by private capital, will be en-
tirely unable to provide for the vast • volume of
American freights, and will leave us more helpless
than ever in the hard grip of foreign syndicates.
RAILROADS.
Interstate and intrastate transportation has be-
come so interwoven that the attempt to apply two,
and often several, sets of laws to its regulation has
produced conllicts of authority, embarrassment in
operation, and inconvenience and expense to the
public.
The entire transportation system of the country
baa become essentially national. We, therefore,
lavor such action by legislation, or, if necessary,
through an amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, as will result in placing it under ex-
clusive Federal control.
ECONOMY AND A NATIONAL BUDGET.
The Increasing cost of the National Government,
and the need for the greatest economy of its re-
sources, in order to meet the growing demands of
the people lor Government service, call for the se-
verest condemnation of the wasteful appropriations
of this Democratic Administration, of its shameless
raids on the Treasury, and of its opposition to and
rejection of President Taft's oft-repeated proposals
and earnest efforts to secure economy and efficiency
through the establishment of a simple, buslneas-
llke budget system, to wliich we pledge our support,
and which we hold to be necessary to effect a needed
reform in the administration of national flnances.
CONSERVATION.
We believe in a careful husbandry of al! the natu-
ral resources of the Nation — a liusbandry wliich
means development without waste, use without
abuse.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The Civil Service Law has always been sustained
by the Republican Party, and we renew our repeated
declaration that it sliall be thoroughly and honestly
enforced and extended wherever practicable. Tlie
Democratic Party has created since March 4, 1913,
30,000 offices outside of the Civil Service law, at an
annual cost of 844,000,000 to the taxpayers of the
country.
We condemn the gross abuse and the misuse of
the law by the present Democratic Administration
and pledge ourselves to a reorganization along llnea
of efficiency and economy.
TERRITORIAL OFFICIALS.
Reaffirming the attitude long maintained by the
Republican Party, we hold tnat ofiicials appointed
to administer the Government of any territory
should be bona-lide residents of the territory in
wliich their duties are to be performed.
LABOR LAWS.
We pledge the Republican Party to the faithful
enforcement of all Federal lav/s passed for the pro-
tection of labor. We favor vocational education, the
enactment and rigid enforcement of a Federal child
labor law, the enactment of a generous and com-
prehensive workmen's compensation iav,f, within
the commerce power of Congress, and an accident
compensation law covering all Government em-
ployes. We favor the collection and coUafion under
the direction of tlie Department, of L.ibor of com-
plete data relating to industrial haz.ards tor the
information of Congress, to tlie end that such legis-
lation may be adopted as may be calculated to
secure the safety, conservation, and protection of
labor from the dangers incident to industry and
transportation.
SUFFRAGE.
The Republican Party, reaffirming its faith Id
Government of the people, by the people, for the
people, as a measure of justice to one-half of the
aduit people of this country, favors the extension of
the suffrage to women, but recognizing the right of
each State to settle tJiis question for itself.
Sucli are our principles, such are our purposes
and policies. We close as we bescn. The times are
dangerous, and tlie future is iratii^ht witli peril.
The great issues of the day have been confused by
words and phrases. The American spirit which
made the country and saved the Union has been
forgotten by those charged with the responsibility

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF MEW YORK CITY.
PUBUC education in New York City began with the loimding of the Free School Society (after 1826
the Public School Society) in 1805. The society started in a small way, depending upon private subscrip-
tions, but soon received aid from the city. It gradually expanded, and until 1842 had control ol the moneys
supplied lor educational purposes by the city and the common school fuud of the State. This condition
of affairs was unique. The society, being under the direction of high-minded cui?ens, enjoyed a large de-
gree of public confidence. So anomalous a system could not last, however, and by an act of the Legislature,
passed in 1842, the Board of Education was established. The Public School Society continued to conduct
Its schools until ISSS, when, by mutual consent, they were all ta!;en over by the board. The society at that
time had more than a hundred schools; the value of the property it tran.sferrert to the city was estimated
at 5450,000, and during its existence it educated some 600,000 children. The Board oi Education was an
elective body from 1842 to 1871, the members being chosen first by wards, and from 1863 by school districts:
since 1871 they have been appointed by the Mayor. In Brooklyn a Board of Education was created in 1843;
the members were chosen by the Common Council until 1862, in which year the appointing power was vested
In the Mayor. When consolidation took effect, in 1S98, separate school boards were provided for the sev-
eral boroughs (Manhattan and the Bronx being united), with a central Board of Education (composed of
delegates from the four school boards. 10 in all) having ch.-xrge of the finances, the erection and repair of
buildings, the acquiring of sites, the purchase and distribution of supplies, etc. This system was dropped
on the revision of the Charter in 1901, and since 1902 there h.as been one Board of Education for the city.
It consists of forty-six members — twenty-two for Maiihattaa, fourteen for Brooklyn, four each for th« Bronx
and Queens, and two for Richmond. Their term of oface is five years.
The Board of Superintendents, consisting of the city superintendent of schools and eight associate
superintendents, h.^s large poNrers in the nomination, promotion, and tmn.sfer of te.''chers, the recommen-
dation of text-l)Of.ks and scholastic supplies, the determination of courses of study, t)ie fixing of qualifica-
tions for teachers' licences, etc. Its important acts reo.uire tlie approval of the Board of Education. There
are twenty-six district superintendents, who^e duties are to visit schools and observe the work of teachers.
The Board of Examiners (consisting of the city sUTierintendent and four exam.iners) conducts all examina-
tions for would-be teachers, and prepares eligible lists. The school suneriPtendenls and examiners, as well
as the supervisor of free lectures, the superintendent of school buildings, the superintendent of scliool sup-
plies, and the director of attendance (whose duties are indicated by their titles), liave terms of six years each.
The Board of Education appoints all these ofOcials and also a secretary, an auditor, and a director of refer-
ence and research, having no fixed term. Principals and teachers are ri: pointed by the Board of Education
on the nomination of the Board of Superinteuclenls. The merit system is in fLdl operation, and teachers are
appointed in order of standing on eligible lists. Beginners are on probation for tliree years, their licenses
being renewable from year to year; when permanently licensed, their tenure is assured, and they cannot be
removed e.xcept on cliarges. New teachers are appointed only after pursuing a training school course, or
after five years' experience elsewhere.
The regular school day is five hours in length, tut in September, 1913, it wag decided, that four hours
should be considered full time for classes of the first-year grades; the kindergarten session is three hours in
length.
Early in 1915 the duplicate school plan (practically the Gary system) was adopted In two schools.
Public School 45, The Bronx, and Public School 89, Brooklyn. It has since been adopted in eleven other
schools in the Bronx and one in Brooklyn, and six schools in A'l.auh.ittan have been selected for reorganiza-
tion on this plan. Funds to the am.ount of .S6,b37,G74 have been authorixeo by the financial .authorities of
the city for alterations in buildings, etc., in order to introduce the duplicate school idea. The Bo.ird of
Education has in the past two vears organized a considerable number of part-time co-operative and continuar
tion classes for the benefit of employes of various factories, stores, etc., who are tlms enabled to pursue
their studies for a part of each day while still holding theu- positions. The average weekly attendance at
these clas.ses has been as high as 050.
The budget appropriation of the Department of Education for 1916 was 539,865,981.53, of which S33,.
555,641.31 constituted the general scliool fund ffor teacliers' salaries). For 1917 tlie appropriation is S41,»
430,447.49, tlie genera! school fund l)eing 835,067,922.97. Under the so-calied Equal Pay law (Chapter !.02,
laws of 1911) te.tchers (men and v/omen) inclemer.tary schools serve three years at .S720; they then advance,
with yearly increments oi SCiO. to .51 .500. This applies to the great majority. In the upper grades the maxi-
mum salaries are 81,820 and 82,200. Assistants to princino.ls (heads of departments) receive S2,4G0, and
princip.als 83,500. In high schools salaries range from 3900 to $3,150; in training schoob, from 81.000 to
§3,250. PrincipaLs of hieh scliools and training schools are paid 35.000. and S5,C00 is the salary of district
superintendents. Exaniiners and the director of attendance receive 86.000. A.ssociate superintendents
and the director of leference and research receive SC.500. The salary of the city superintendent is SIO.OOO.
The number of elementarv sciiods is 522 — 154 in Manhattan, 182 in Brooklyn, 57 in the Bronx, 95 in Queens,
and 34 in Richmond. Tlie number of high schools is 24. There .are also three training schools for teachers,
four vocational schools and tlu-ee truant schools. In the clenientary schools thete are 1.SS5 men and 16,542
women teachers: in tl>e high schools 1,188 men and 1,230 7omen. In the evening schools (high and ele-
mentary) there are 2,1S1 teachers. One hundred and fifty-five attendance olficers enforce the Compulsory
Education law. The latest available figures show the average attendance as follows;
