DOES ITALY TRIPOLI? It has been asserted that Italy wants more land for colonization purposes, some place where her surplus population may go, or be encouraged to go. In order to build up a strong Italian colony, instead of being spread throughout the United States and other countries, where the Italians become lost through asalmilatfon or citizenship. Hut Tripoli has the most adverse geographical, agricultural, climatic and commercial conditions. Tripoli has an area of 410.000 square miles, and a mixed population of about Turks and Arabs, with a considerable sprinkling of negro '-arid es trays. It occupies a stretch of the northern Mediterranean coast-line where the Barahan desert most nearly approaches the sea.

It is a land mainly made up of rock, scrub and sandy wastes, with here and there cultivable oases that can Jie made productive by irrigation in years there is sufficient rainfall. Its perpetual aridity, however, admits of no artificial cure. Its most fertile province, Cyrenaica, with an area of 4,000 square miles, contains so much uncuttlvahle land that It has an estimated capacity for the maintenance of a population of only 210,000. The most important Tripolitan crop is a superior crop of barley, with a small outurn of olive oil, wax and honey. There is no mineral wealth to attract industrial exploitation.

Tripoli had a one-time importance as the Mediterranean outlet for the great caravan trade In slaves, spices and other Central African products. But It is no longer the Sarahan gateway to civilization. There have been found more natural courses for trade by way of the Nile and the Niger. The caravan business has been lost for good. The whole present Import and export trade of Tripoli only amounts to a total of about $4,000,000.

It ought not to be a difficult matter in these days of engineering to find a practioal. feasible and satisfactory way to eliminate the Tripp Park crossing of the Lackawanna railroad on North Main avenue. With Main avenue almost a straight and leading thoroughfare through the two valleys, It would be a pity to deflect or turn the street Into an alley for even a short distance iq AVest Scranton. face es. or cl--e of i i.l ruin that changes to ltih or mud under the fed Hut there im nnothcr picture of Winter that I jtist hh true nd lar more alluring The suu never shines so bright as on the cold, i rlsp days of Winter, and the air Is washed dear of all Its impurities that Its assaults upon the lungs are like vigorous calls to new energy and life.

It Is the call of the snow and the crinkle of frost in the air that bring the healthy blood to cheeks and send the sportsman home ith a new appetite and a new realization of the joys of living.

Hummer heat baffles and unnerves; the flashing of frost In the air is a challenge to do tilings and to rh.ike off the lethargy of mind and body. Life on the farm may have its Winter terrors, but it has its AVinter joys in abundance. The kocial gatherings, tho sleigh rides through the clear night, the merry husking bees and apple-paring parties, made jyoaalblo by the greater leisure of the farmers days, serve to knit more closely the neighborly bonds. It is for the farmer the season of reflection, of suspension from the hard grind of his Hummer toil. With granaries and hay mows overflow ing, nuts In th attic or barn, apples and cider in the cellar and a sense of th year's bountiful the farmer finds the AVinter a season of delight and of needed mental and social stimulus.

AVinter Is distinctly the season for outdoors and for strong men and worn en who can find in Its sports a new medicine. But it also has its compen wattons in the city, where so much suffering is wrought by it Sleighing is still practiced, and the hundreds of social diversions Indoors are given a new test and charm by the weather conditions outside. It is the creative sca-bon; the season hen energy may be extended without enervation, and when the call to activity is intensified by the whistle of the wind or the drapery of the snow.

In few seconds the flame will go out. AA'hy? Because it has used up all the oxygen Ip tho bottle. Yopr life might be compared to a fire. Your body produces heat Just as a fire does for the rtsime reason it needs oxygen. Oxygen is taken from the air by the lungs and is distributed through the bodv by the blood.

Every day the lungs of a normal person handle 105 barrels of air. If this air is pure the flame of life will burn brightly. If it Is not. you will become sluggish and poor in health. Then dont cork up your home like a bottle.

Be sure you are feeding yourself plenty of oxygen. Night and day you should have fresh air. There was a cartoon in a newspaper the other day which aroused feelings of both wrath and pathos. Its title was Everybody AVorks But Father. There was father, however, with his eHrmuffs on.

his nose blue with cold, his hands encased In mitts, his back bent as he laboriously cleaned the snow from the walks about his domi die. In an upper corner was a picture of son, aged anywhere from seventeen up. cultivating his muscle with a patent exerciser in a warm room, and enjoying a cigarette. The pathos was in father's bent back: the wrath centered about son's supercilious young head. And wherever a city walk Is cleaned, Isnt it nearly alw-ays father who is seen doing the shoveling unless its mother? Im afraid Its the fond parents fault, In the beginning.

Instead of inculcating a respect for honest labor In the hearts of their boys and girls, they listen to excuses of school-study, or are trying to bring up their children along the play" Idea, or thinH their precious progeny are too good to harden their hands with manual toil, or in some other way encourage the youngsters to bluff their parents into doing the' undesirable tasks: Fathers and mothers are giving up their natural claims every day to outside influences which gradually win their boys and girls away from home and parents: often from a mistaken tenderness and anxiety for their childrens well-being; sometimes from inu difference. There is no reason why the high school girl shouldnt help mother about the house or in the care of the ybunger children. Her studies are n9t so engrossing that phe must give her exclusive attention to them, nor are her social affairs so important that shef cant afford to exercise some of her girlish charms helping to make home happy. The boy who Is preparing for college isn't such a graad young man that he can't learn something from his father and help lighten the burden of the fdmily chores.

The Times has answered that question editorially a number of times. Praztl produce most of the coffee used In the United States; In fact, Brazil furnishes the greater part of the coffee used throughout the world, excepting Java and Arabia. In order to make the crop more profitable for the planters, the government of Brazil, through a syndicate, controls not only the amount raised, but the amount to be sold and the prices, keeping the sale well within the demand. The AA'all Street Journal today says: Roasters, Jobbers and contract traders in coffee await with interest any advice from the London meeting of the Valorization Syndicate, which convenes today, to arrange for the sale of the 700,000 bags of coffee which the agree ment with the government of Sao Paulo authorizes the bankers to place on the market during the coffee year of 1911-12.

The plan hitherto followed has been to make offerings by the committee, either through public auction or by sealed tenders, at the price of the day. The distribution of the quantity disposed of has extended over th first half of the calendar year, in'order to admit of the disposition of the new crop of coffee of Brazil in the preceding half of the crop year, extending from July to January. Last year the authorized sales wre 6011,000 bags, compared with 600,000 bags In the crop year of 1909-10.
