A New York engineer, addressing the New York Chamber of Commerce, predicts that the Panama Canal either must be enlarged in a few years or plicated by a second tnter-ocean waterway.

"The Panama Canal now," he says, "has almost reached the point where it cannot handle the trade passing through It." This is interesting. It was only a few years ago that calamIty howlers were calling the big canal useless burden, asserting that it was not being used enough to justify its existence. One hopes that they heard this engineer's speech. The leaders of the medical sion still have a number of problems to solve; but over many of their old enemies they are asserting an everintreasing mastery. Pigures issued by the United States Public Health Service show that, 1927 saw the typhoid fever rate sink to a lower figure than ever before.

In that year there were recorded only twenty-six cases of typhoid per 100,000 inhabitants -less than half the number reported in 1917. There are many diseases against which medical science at present can do little. But it is becoming apparent that the dreaded typhoid fever is one of those maladies that eventually can be made practically unknown, The Journal -Gazette notes that County Highway Superintendent Starbuck de destrous of having the members of the board of supervisors call an election to submit to the voters of this county a proposition to issue bonds to the amount of $1,100.000 to pave or hard surface many miles of public highways of the county, We have suspicion that the members of the board of supervisors will have considerable hesitancy about putting the tax payers of this county to the expense of holding a special election. This expense would be approximately $5,000, The Journal-Gazette has always been for highway betterment, but there is a limit to even good thing. The people of this county are paying about all the tax they have any desire to pay, and to place on them an additional tax burden of more than million dollars will in all probability meet with strong opposition.

It would be ridiculous, in the opinion of many persons, for the members of the board to order an election for such stupendous bond issue when there good reason for thinking that the proposition would meet with overwhelming defeat. DIPTHERIA IS FATAL TO LITTLE BATEMAN CHILD Mary Lou, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Bateman, died at the family residence, 2317 Charleston avenue, at 6:40 o'clock Monday evening from diphtheria. The child had been Ill since last Thursday.

Hood, of 509 North Twenty-third street on October 2, 1927, and was the only child of the parents.

BY HARRY R. FLORY.

(1. N. S. Staff Correspondent.) London, April prohibition was predicted here today by Henry Ford, America's famous motor car manufacturer. The increased use of labor saving machinery also was forecast.

Mr. Ford does not believe that increased use of machinery in factories causes unemployment on the contrary he thinks it gives more work. Mr. Ford says that America is enjoying national prosperity. He says it will continue indefinitely.

The industrialist belleves that there is no danger of war. These predictions and opinions were given in an interview with five British and American 1 newspaper men, including the International News Service correspondent. Asked for his views on prohibition, Mr. Ford said: "It is a fine thing. I believe it will become more world wide.

I never touch liquor. I do not like it. Both alcohol and tobacco are bad. Alcohol destroys the brain cells just as tobacco does. Both lower a man's efficiency.

I believe that industrial competition will force prohibition upon the whole world." More Machinery, More Men. In reply to a query about unemployment in America and the growing 1 use of machinery to supplant workers, Mr. Ford said: "There is a. contention that the growing use of machinery increases unemployment, but it is not true. In fact, just the contrary is true.

I have more men in my plants making machinery than I have making automobiles." Mn. Ford's view on peace and war was: "I do not think there is any danger of war. The people are becoming too intelligent for war. That is especially true regarding Great Britain and the United States." Mayor William Hale Thompson, of Chicago, is a topic of especial interest to British editors so the manufacturer was asked for his opinion of that spectacular politician. He laughingly replied: "Bill Thompson is a great advertiser.

He would like to be the whole United States. But nobody pays any attention to him in Mr. Ford does not intend to visit continental Europe. He expects to spend his entire time in the British Isles. It is possible that he may make an automobile trip into Scotland.

If his, present plans do not miscarry he will sail for home on the Majestic on May 2. ATTENTION CALLED TO CITY'S IMPROVEMENTS In the April 2 number of the "Bulletin" of the Illinois Association of Real Estate Boards is an article entitied "Mattoon Reports Building Activity." It states that "Horace R. Checkley has brought to our attention build, ing operations under way in that city to the extent of $675,000. "This includes the U. 8.

Grant hotel, $250,000, two industrial plants, one at $250,000 and one at $50,000, a storage warehouse at $25,000, and the Masonic Temple, $100,000. In addition to this a bond issue of $265,000 was recently voted for a new high school building. The total building program, including many new residences, will be about $1,000,000 in Mattoon this year." It is stated that this little real estate journal goes into the hands of 25,000 recipients.

In announcing the suspension in the Plain-Dealer, the publishers of the Citizen said: "From a commercial standpoint it is inadvisable to continue the publication of the Citizen."

N. 8. Financial Editor. New York, April 10-The forward movement in the industrial specialty stocks encountered considerable opposition today in the form of profit-taking and professional selling, the latter being encouraged by the heavy calling on loans by the New York -banks and the gradual scaling down of the loan valuations of stocks that have led the skyward movement in recent weeks. Stock experts were generally of the opinion that there was considerable liquidation of General Motors, United States Steel and other market standbys under cover of strength in the new specialities, but there was of course no evidence that such was the case.

General Motors withstood the shock of a heavy concentration of professional selling in the first four hours. Though trading was in large volume in this period, only slightly below yesterday's record, the mechanism of the market was so well handled that the ticket fell behind only a few minutes, and close communications were maintained with the floor of the exchange. The market displayed remarkable recuperative power, particularly in the stocks under pool control. Anaconda held firmly around 70, down about from the peak of the move, and Schulte was well supported around 64. Radio dropped abruptly to 176 in the fourth hour, following which a heavy selling wave passed over the market, forcing prices to the lowest levels of the day.
