As, to iron and steel industries, opening the nlwly will give them a choice of benefits—a location upon the At- lantic, to which they can bring ore at less cost, or.a location on the Lakes, from which they can ship their product at less cost.

Blodgett, chairman of the Martime association of Boston, advocates purchase of’the Cape Cod canal, which will, he says, save 25 cents a ton on delivery of coal to New England. That is the saving to be made by shortening the water mileage between Norfolk and Boston. Mr. Blodgett is opposed to the St, Lawrence project because he believes it is chiefly a power development and the govemment ought not to go into business.

It had been my custom, extending over a perlod of many. years, to drop in informally and have luncheon with the Rothschilds once or twice during On these occasions always the most Interesting toplc of conversation was my estimate of the wealth of Rocke- feller and other rich Americans. Lord Rothschild - invariably: introduced the subject and forewarned, I was ready would usually start with some “piker” capitalist, whose wealth did not amount to more than the paltry sum of $100,000,000, and- then worked up by queries until he reached the Ameri- can Croesus, John D. Rockefeller. It would be an unpatriotic American who would belittle the wealth of a com- patriot at a time like this, and after having modestly admitted, in reply to Lord Rothschild’s question, that Rocke- feller was certainly worth $500,000, 000, assuming an air of ultra-conserva- tism, I would allow him to extort what was to him a delectable fact that Rock- efeller was worth at least $750,- 000,000; and when the money bags around the table stared at me with an expression of pleased surprise, but not of doubt, I would in subdued tone convey to them the fact that in informed financial circles of Amer- ica the Rockefellers’ wealth was esti- mated at over $1,000,000,000! The in- ternationalism of the Rothschild fam- ily, and the utter lack of envy,.ls evidenced in the unmistakable pleas- ure which characterized the reception of this titbit of high finance. — New York's Sanitary Districts. New York has four square miles of sanitary districts with over 250,000 population per square mile. The New York city 1920 census committee, Dr. Walter Laidlow, executive secretary, has Issued the following statement: “The permanent map for the taking and tabulating of the population of New :York on which the census of 1820 was enumerated has 3,427 sapitary dis- trict areas. Sixty-six of these in 1910 whose acreage totaled 2,866 then had a population of 1,208,657, an average of 453 persons per acre. If the whole area of New York in-1810 had been popu- lated as densely as these 2,868 acres the equivalent of the whole population of . the United States, and then some, as in: 1910, could have been packed York.” This number :of persons per acre in congested dfstricts is now reduced to 802, the ltntement adds.
