TRIUMPHS OF GENIUS Had our farmers employed the same methods of sowinf? and harvesting 1926 wheat as were used 100 years ago, it would have required the labor of our 115 million people for nine months, and the labor of 50 million people in addition. By inoflern methods, the great crop was sowed and harvested by 3 or 4 million farmers in a few months. Statistics also show that had our railroads used some methods of moving the great commerce of 1926 as were used, but 20 years ago, cost to producers, shippers and consumers would be 350 per cent greater, and because of shortage of cars and lack of facilities, much of it would still be unmoved in the warehouses or rotting in the field. Just as our farmers met the situation by using modern methods and machinery, so our railroads met it by providing additional facilities, including larger engines and cars to haul more tonnage per train.

Had primitive methods been used in cultivation and transportation of our crops and commerce in 1926, our condition despite our boundless resources, would not be unlike that of China or Russia, where modern methods are neither used nor understood and where both productivity and 1 ransportation are alike still in the primitive stage. a people we have had the good sense to avail of the achievements of inventive genius, and have progressed and prospered as have no other people in the world. Tn regulating transportation and public utilities, we should see to it that facilities provided to accommodate our growing industrial needs, like larger locomotives to haul heavier trains, are not wastefully restricted by laws reducing and limiting either capacity tu serve the public in moving traffic or to earn a reasonable amunt on their cost. We are a big country and must do business in a big- way. --------------INTO SPORTS HALL OF FAME George Young, Canadian, seventeen years old, enters the sports Hall of Fame with a great splash.

He has achieved primacy for swimming the San Pedro Channel, separating Catalina Island from the California mainland. He was the only one of ninety-six candidates to finish. He negotiated the channel, twenty-two miles wide, in less tlian sixteen hours. It was a notable feat. IVenty-two women were candidates for the aquatic honor and as none of them finished, the distinction of being the first woman to swim the San Pedro Channel is yet to be earned.

With fame and fortune as an incentive, women swimmers will before long be arranging for further tries. Young holds the record, hut the title is unattaclunl. Coincident with his fame, ouiig gels the tidy sum of twenty-fivi tiiousand dollars. For a youth of seventeen, that is a jiretty heavy sta.rt in recognition of swimming prowess. He jdin'ked his title from fomidablo field and he hailed as champion on his merit.

i I fi pii f. ARE WE TOO EXTRAVAGANT? iiem fiie Ohicap- I Motor cars in use in the United State.s number more than 22,000,000, an aver: age of one to every five resident- of cen- i tineiital America. ()f the 2,900,000 are listed as commercial. known pleasure cars, though many of 'C course are used for busines.s purposes. The increase 11 per cent in the nuni- ber of automobile- in 1926 has been pcint- cd to as one of the many evidences of i American extravagance.

The cost of living in the United States, as compared with old world or Mexican standards, un; questionably is extravagant. Still Americans as a people are far from living be, yond their means. Savings deposits in all the banks in the United States on June 30 aggregated $24,200,000,000. That total represented a gain of $1,000,000,000 in a smaller increase, however, than I that in the preceding year. In addition to the increase in savings I deposits there are to be considered, too, purchases of life insurance at an unprecedented rate, the sums invested in new securities and the sums paid on homes or other real estate purchased on the install- I ment plan.

That the supply of investment capital continues to grow is shown by the fact that in the first half of 1926 American investors and financial in- I stitutions purchased $3,500,000,000 in I new issues of stocks and bonds. Americans certainly live on an expeji- I sive scale as compared with other times I and other people. The amount now in; vested in automobiles and the cost of their operation would have been not only i appalling, but ruinous 30 years ago. But the earning capacity of the American worker has increased vastly since the middle '90s, and for several years em- I ployment has been plentiful. I Probably a high percentage of the American people spend a larger share of their incomes than they should.

Nevertheless, the country is hardly in financial danger so long as the bank accounts of 44,000,000 savings depositors are steadily increasing. BIDDING FOR BRAZILIAN TRADE From the Manchester Guardian. British traders who are thinking of planning new year campaigns in South America may like to have a first-hand description of the rival whom their representatives will have to face in those parts. Here is his portrait, given in English by a Brazilian writer in a magazine published in that country: 'The American sellsman is typically of an energy which is to admire in the warmth of the tropics. Of a youthfulness generally he breathes lively and walks springly, searching his customer loyally for the firm his.

To all he greets smiles, and one is to admire his frank. He is fresh of the cold northerly. Yet under the breast of the American sellsman beats the heart's warmness, therefore let us give greeting, smiles with two hands open to him crying, vVclconie to Brazil 3Iars has been selling the world a gold brick for centuries. ------------A congress is a large body of conflicting minds entirely surrounded by adice. anemic looking moth over there has had nothing to eat all winter but a fashionable one-piece bathing suit.
