On the other hand it is pointed onut that such a route would be available only six months In the year since it would not be possible for vessels to use #t after, cold weather arrives. This would throw much uncertainty upon all transportation routes and make for in- efficlency rather than efficlent handing of shipments as the open and closed seasons approached and ended. These are of course points which are of vital interest to the middle west. That is the section which hopes to bene- fit and yet if it cannot obtaln such ser- vice as it calls for without an extrava- gant outlay and unsatisfactory results it has good reason to hesitate about backing any such plan. / Bettering the transportation lines at home seems to be the first problem that shoumld be tackled by the shippers. UNEMPLOYMENT CONFERENCE. A conference that will receive atten- tion from one end of the country to the other is that which has been called by the president for next Monday at Wash- ington over which Secretary Hoover 1 preside. To that conference 38 delegates have accepted invitations. They are representative men and wo_ men familiar with conditions in their various lines of activities and capable of determining what can and should be done for the relief of the unemploy- ment situation. It is not to be supposed that they will give no attention to just what the conditions are surrounding unemploy- ment. In order to deal effectively with such a matter there must be a thorough understanding of the condition that ex- and sosfar it. st how much rellef s called for how extensivley it needs to be ad- as possible the reason and ministered will depend uvon the diag- For a considerable period of it has been maintained that busi- in a most un- certain position because of the excess profits tax which discouraged Initiative d kept down enterprise.

He was in my class in college and we were always pretty good pals un- til about a year ago. Now I'll walk half a mile out of my way any day to dodge him. “Owe him anything” he continued in response to his fellow worker’s question. I should say not. He owes me some- thing. At least, he thinks he does. “You Sce, when Lindsay got engadd he began to falk to me all the time about what a cozy little home he Was going to have, and he raved on about how I would always be an honored guest there. He made me promise that I'd often dine Lindsay and feel that their place was just about one-third mine. “Of course I didn’t wish to dash his joy by hinting that Mrs. Lindsay might have something to say about the choice of their guests, so I tried to be almost s enthusiastic about. these prospective lit- tle parties as he. The evenings when he didn’t have a date with her he used to spend telling me what a lot of fun we three were to have together in the dove- cote. I was patient with his maudlin state, partly hecause he was so generous- ly trying te include me in his happiness and partly because 1 know that none of us is immune from the malady he was suffering from, and that when my turn comes I may be just as big an idiot as he. “I met him at the club two days after the return from the wedding trip, and he greeted me warrhly. He shook my hand almost loose from my arm, and began telling me that I didn't khow what life was—that I never would until I had a little wife like his Clarisse. “ I can hardly w: he declared, “to have you up to dinner in our apartment. Clarisse is crazy to have you, too. You must come as soon as we are settled. “ “That will be delightful’ I assured him gratefully. The following week every time I was called to the phone I thought it was to be summoned to the honeymoon flat, but it wasn't. As it hap- perad, I changed my lunch hour for a while and I didn't see Lindsay again for a month. Then one day I met him at the barber’s. ODD iNCIDENTS HISTORY IN AMERICAN WHEN BRITAIN BLOCEADED OUR COAST During the war of 1812, when our navy was of very small proportions and Great Britain had long held command of the sea, it was an e matter for her to blockade our ports, and it is not difficult to imagine the great inconve- nience to which we were placed: The long stretch of country hetween Florida and Maine depended entirely for :the transportation of goods back and forth by water. When the sailing vessels could no longer follow their trage prices it took a big jwmp and it hecame a most serious affair for the For years the tr tion to thousands of of thousands of ilors. at Lynn, the Yankee noti icut, the produce of New England, the flour of the Middle States, e East India goods brought in from abroad, had found a ready market at Charleston, Savannah and Augusta, whence great quantities of rice and cotton were brought North. On the arrival of the British flcet this trade, no longer to be carried on safely by water, began of nec ity to be car- ried on by land. At first some merchants in Boston, having chartered a few wag- ons, dispatched them with loads to Phil- adelphia and even to Baltimore. This was enough. The hunt was taken. A new industry sprang up, and by the early summer the roads leading south- ward exhibited one continuos stream of huge canvas covered wagens tugged along by double teams of horses or of oxen o distance was then too great and hundreds of m wound their Salem and Boston to Augusta annah.

Delays of this sort, coupled with the more serious detentions caused by the unfitness of the wretched ferry the great rivers to do the wor were thus suddenly form did much te prolong the journ which must at best have been &lo Even at New York, which boasted of a steam ferryboat at Paulus Hook, as many as eight and fifteen wagons were often to be seen drawn up in line at the ferry walting a chance to cross. On several occasions the wagons stood for three days in the street, and so ob- structed travel that the téamsters were arrested and fined ten dollars each for blocking the highways. During the sum- mer, whén the roads were at their best. the trip from Boston to Baltimore was | made in_twenty six days, from Balti- more to Richmond in ten days, and from Baltimore to Augusta in thirty three days. Two months were thus consumed on the read between Boston and Augusta. That merchants who cargoes of boots and shoes, and other freight were thus intrusted to the honesty of unknown wagoners should be most anxious to fol- low them in their ffow progress was most natural. It was seriously suggest- ed, therefore, that the owners of the wagons should name them as in the case of ships, keep a rough log in which to enter the names of other wagons_they met on the road, and report to the news- papers of each town they passed through This was done, and In a few weeks every wagon had a name, serlous or hu- morous, according to the temper of the owner. Great as was the trade carried on in this manner, it was impossible to keep down war prices- This condition existed during practically the two years of the war and the tension was only re- lieved as 4o high prices and convenience of carrying when the conflict was finally brought to an end.

IIL “MODERN RELATIONS OF TRAFFIC AND LAW.” Nowadays there are upon the highways and streets, at the same time, all of the vehicles evolved during all time. That is, we have the automobile—which is man’s latest vehicle—along with the horse- wagon, the ox-team, the bieycle and even the wheel barrow. Automobiles which are used for carrying people go very fast. Those designed for freight go slower, and all other vehicles go very slowly. So we have the problem of varying speeds.
