Mr. Geer's life has practically all been spent as a marine engineer with the ex- ception of the last few years when he retired from active lif~. He was born in this city on September 7. 1830, and he has made his home here with the ex- ception of a few years which were passed in New Lopdon. He was the son of George W.

Crawford Vaughn, ex-premier of Australia, was the speaker on the final night, addressing an audience of over 600 upon the subject of Aus- tralia’s Industrial Crisis and How It Was Met. < HOW AUSTRALIA MET WORK CRISS| the open‘and the weight of public opinion ‘saw thdt justice was done. . There has been no abolition of thef right to strike, for it was found that if You denied men the right to strike, while they might keep on working, they would ground for the whispers of I. W. W.-ism. In his introductory words he referred | Thé effort has been to make the rela- to the great obligation which Anstralia felt towards'the United States for the ideals of freedom expressed in the con- stition of this country, which had’ been taken as a model for the Australian con- stitution. Taking up the question of cap- ital and labor, he siid that this problem seems to have been emphasized by the war and we seém to have divided into two armed camps on'the subject. The diffi- culty has been over the distribution of the fruits of industrial effort, the 'inequitable distribution, for side by &ide mense wealth we see appalling poverty. ‘We are to blame. 'We have commercial- ized labor and you can’t expect labor to work on an ‘altruistic basis unless capital is also on an altruistic basis. What Australia has done is to put the labor man into power. This has not pre- vented strikes: indeed, there have been some serious ones, and the strike has been used as a political weapon by the minority to bring the majority to its feet, an _affront to democratic institutions. For one thing that has been accom- of the sweating system which flourished in Australia as bad as it was in the days when Tom Hood wrote his Song of the Shirt. The wage boards have been ex- tended to cover every important industry except agriculture. Then there has been the compulsory arbitration act, by which when there were threats of strikes all the issues involved were brought out into with im- | plished there has been the abolishment | some of the states but it has never been ‘tions as near right as possible by law and hope that the antagonisms would be dissipated. An- important thing done since the war |- has been to get labor back to the land but no absolute solution has been found yet There are the government mortgage banks to lend money, land is allotted on easy terms, bought if necessary, blocked off in plots of five to twenty acres for the ‘workingman, and the soldiers have been given farm training with pay and allotted land of thé best kind with 42 years to pay for it. Sixty per cent. of the return- ing soldiers expressed willingness to join | this back to the land,movement under the conditions offered. Some things done in the way of na- tionalization have proved good there but might not be the same here. The rail- Wways have been nationalized as a neces- | sary step in the land development move- ment. The telephone and’ telegraph sys- terns have been nationalized with more or. less satisfactory results. Some trading enterprizes have been nationalized in 1 proposed to nationalize the means of pro- duction, distribution and exchange. In conclusion he said that Australia is watching America and he urged that the people march forward in the spirit of optimism and altruism, for this will win because it has behind it the spirit of the constitution, the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount nad of the Golden Rule.

NORWICH WAS FORTUNATE IN FIRES THE PAST YEAR The year beginning July 1, 1919, and ending June 30, 1920, was a banner year for the local fire department and Speaks exceedingly well for the management of the department, considering the need of more motor driven apparatus in ‘the outlying sections of the city. There were only 134 alarms ,the majority being telephone calls, luring the year and a small comparative loss. The largest 1 by fire was the one that occurred at An- drew's bakery on Summit street ssveral weeks ago, the second largest being the fire in the garage on White's Cour. In comparing this year's fires with those of previous years it js found that there were ‘less in the year just closed than in any othgr year with the excep- tion of 1909. There were 175 fires during the year 1915-1918 while during the year 1913-1914 there were 243 fires, which was the largst year in the history of the department.

MEXICO CITY: THE ROME 5 OF THE AMERICAS . “In all the world one cannot find a mére remarkable capital than Mexico City,” says Will Joseph Showalter, in a“tommuhication to the National Geo- graphic, Society, concerning an inter- est centr of the presert Mexican rev- olution. “Situated in a valley whose floor is a mile and a half above the level of the sea, and whose borders are surrounded by towering mountains; located where the beautiful :volecanoes, Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl, rear their snow-cap- ped -heads above the plain and stand eternal guard over it, its situation is| .one.of rare beauty and grandeur. Its climate is mild, the temperature rang- ing from 35 to 70 degrees, with a mean of 65.degrees. No man sleeps without a blanket in Mexico City, nor needs an overcoat at midday. “Prior to the conquest the lakes of | the Mexican valley were extensive and ' the barges of the Aztecs sailed unin-! terruptedly from the gates of Chapul- tepe¢ to Ixtapalapa. A large number of canals intersected the ancient me- tropoliszof Tenochtitlan and connect- o %o # the lakes in the suburbs, mak- ing'it & sort of new world Venice. “In 1807 the celebrated Portuguese engineer Martinez undertook to drain the valley of Mexico by cutting a can- al through the mountains, The work, however; -was-largely a failure, since it drained only.one small lake and an unimportfant river, leaving lakes Tex- ©oco and. Chalc ill_perpetual men- | aces to the ity Z “In 1879 a huge drainage canal 30 miles long was begun, which was com- pleted in 1900, at a cost of about $8,- 000,000, ' American gold. Its comple- tion removed the danger of inundations from Mexico City and solved the prob- lem “#hich occupied the thoughts and engendered the fears of the Aztecs as far back as 1449. “Mexico City is the most complete mixture of the ancient and the modern to be found in the New World.
