E. Nelll, general manager of f Royal Bank of Canada, finds] tions in Canada quite distinct- Petter than in the United States particularly in agriculture. The States farmers have found markets not of the best and politicians have been looking it for a remedy but so far with- 'success. Mr. Neill in his study 'conditions records that the aver- price for the products of Can- agriculture is more favorable that which prevails in the Unit- § States. Agriculture prices here, 'says, are sixty mine per cent. pve pre-war prices, while our gen- price level is only fifty-four per above that of 1913, In the d States the farmér is in an wi- funate position, with the prices r 'his products below the general rio el; the cotton situation pularly acute. Ceneral prices ® 150, while the prices of the wets of United States agricul | average only 35 per cent. above levels.

Down at Leland-Stanford Univer- sity in California the staff of ex- perts is seeking to answer the ques- tion as to the cause for bright chil- {dren after a wide search fofa thou- sand of the most gifted children In the state. To begin with, it was discovered { that the parents of these children were themselves above the average. They were better educated and held more difficult jobs than the average, They married later in life, the men averaging 33 1-2 and the mothers 29 years which means that the par- ents were also above the average In maturity when the child was born and incidentally refutes the oft-quot- ed statement that early marriages are best. The average salary made by the father was $3,500 a year with a small number earning something in excess of $7,500. The children weighed three- fourths of a pound more at birth than the average child, were breast- fed and healthy during infancy, had better teeth, showed their superior mentality by talking three months earlier, were taller, heavier and slept almost an hour longer than 'average children. Other qualities shown were the tendency te play alone, to make orderly collections of various sorts, such as stamps, and to exhibit marked enthusiasms for the things they liked. POWER BY"HORSE; NOW MOTOR. In, 1812 boys from Jersey ferried across the Hudson River to New York city. The ferry of that time was a big flat-boat whose side pad- dle-wheels were driven by power from. a treadmill operated by six horses. The next generation saw steam ferries which have grown more comfortable and reliable down to the present. Today one Hudsen River ferry line has converted to electrically-powered boats and other lines 'are considering the same change. These boats are driven by electric motors, the eurrent for which is generated on board by oil- burning engines. The ferry edmpany expects to reduce its cost and in- crease the speed of its craft. WORDS THAT BURN, William D. Guthrie, president of the Bar Assoclation of New York is hot over a remark, made years ago by Chief Justice Taft, that "the ad- ministration of criminal law in the United States is a disgrace to our civilisation." The aceusation .is inscribed in the campaign book of Harvard Law school, when its sup- porters were seeking to raise a $5.- 000,000 endowment. Mr. Guthrie has made the declaration that he will have the words deleted from the record, as it has "done more harm than any other single utterance that has been made in the last Ahiity " Mr. Guthrie, says the Wetton N.Y., Times, may be instrumental in "deleting" the remarks of Justice Taft in the campaign literature.

The men whose coaversations { Dr. Clarke recounted to his audience, | were Thomas Hardy, Joseph Conrad, | John Masefield and John Galswor- | | thy. Dr. Clarke has met and conver- | | sed with these brilliant men of let-| | ters, and the sketches he gave of | their characteristics and conversa | tion were most .interesting and -il-| luminating. Prof. P. G. C. Campbell | presented Dr. Clarke to the andl} ence. | It was difficult to dovetail the] Hardy of literature with the charm- | ing, delightful and genial Hardy of | reality, sald Dr. Clarke. The lecturer | had been forced to give an undertak- | ing that he would not publiely div- ulge his conversation with the great English novelist but he assured bis audience that despite the gloomy outlook on life reflected in the nov- els and poems by Hardy, the man himself! was not a pessimist. "Dr. Clarke described him as an idealistic realist. The speaker quoted from Hardy's poems and said that Hardy believes that eventually the world will regard him more highly for his poetry than for his novels. The second conversation was with | Joseph Conrad. The speaker found | Conrad a brisk, rapid-fire type of man, speaking English with a pecu- Har accent. During their conversa- tion, Conrad had said it was a mys- tery to him how anyone could write poetry. At the time of the conversa- | tion Conrad had not been to America, but willingly gave his impressions. America, he sald, was woman-ridden and he deplored the fact that the anti- British spirit was kept alive in some quarters.. He eaid that in reality the colonists had not been greatly suppressed; the matter was purely a fiscal one aud the colonists had event- ually had their way. Prohibition, Conrad felt, was wrong, because fit was a law fo protect the weak from their appetites and puch laws would not develop a strong, self-controlled race, he contended. Woodrow Wil- son, he described, as a man with an unfortunate way of writing or saying unfortunate things at most unfortu- nate times. He liked Walter Hines Page, war-time ambassddor.from the United States to Great Britain, very much. Dr, Clarke named "Rescue" as Conrad's best and "The Arrow -of Gold," as his worst novel. Galswor- thy shared this opinion, he remark- ed. The lecturer had little time at his disposal to speak of Galsworthy or Masefield. The latter had at one time been a bar-tender in a saloon in New York, and it was while working in a carpet factory at Yonkers that he felt the stirring of poetry within him. Luke O'Conner conducted the saloon where Masefleld served and 1s now running a restaurant in Greenwich Village. Connor about Masefield and found that the Irish saloon-keeper felt a great friendship and reverence for the English poet, "John never seem ed to have any fun," he said, "be- cause when he wasn't working, he was upstairs with his books." Mase- field like Conrad, served for many years as a sailor and saw much of life in the raw, which he later utiliz- ed in his narative poems. Income tax lien of $6,490, said to be. amounted due U.8.
