AN AGRICULTURAL SECTION OF
RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION
Washington, D. C., July.—Estab
lishment of an agricultural section
under t)ie direction of J. L. Edwards
of Atlanta, Ga., was announced by
the railroad administration. Mr. Ed
ward’s particulr duty, said the an
nouncement, will be to look after
the relations between the railroads
and the department of agriculture,
and it is expected that the encourage
ment and extension of agriculture, es
pecially in the South and west, will be
actively stimulated in tber elation of
transportation to this important in
dustry.
• Mr. Edwards has been prominently
identified in Georgia and Alabama
for many years. He is a great believ
er in the development of the agricul
tural resources of thes outh. The A.
B. & A. Railway has occupied n con-
spicious place as a leader in the devel
opment of these agricultural ’ re
sources.
The South and Georgia particularly
is most fortunate in having some one
who knows so well the necessity of
better farming at the head of the ag
ricultural section of the Railroad Ad
ministration at Washington and wo
may feel sure that the South will not
be overlooked by Mr. Edwards in the
direction of the agricultural section
of tho Railroad Administration at
Washington.
OUR TRANSPORTATION PROB
LEMS
Some of our national transports,
tion problems and difficulties can be
better understood when it is remem
bered that in tho northeastern section
of the United States, mciuding New
York, Pennsylvania, adjoining states
and New England, the population is
<193 persons to every mile of railroad;
in the South the figures are 407 per
sons per mile; and in the West, 262.
There are 16 square miles of land
to every mile of railroad in tho West,
while in the East there is 1 mile of
railroad to every 5 miles of land.
There are innumerable factories in
this eastern theater, and the bringing
in of coal and raw material and the
carrying out of manufactured prod
ucts make up a tremendous freight
tonnage.
The Railroad Administration is
solving gradually many problems. By
the elimination of many unnecessary
passenger trains several thousand en
gines are diverted from passenger to
freight traffic, which relieves tho sit
uation materially. Also by loading
the freight cars to full capacity a
great saving is being accomplished.
Routing freight by the most direct
route, and other methods adopted by
the administration are doing much to
ease the strain on our transportation
facilities.

Picturesque Island of Zanzibar Hat
a Charm Possessed by Few Other
Places In Africa.
The little Island of Zanzibar la one
of the most picturesque places in Af
rica—one of the few places of the
durk continent that Is picturesque at
all. That Is because It is an old,
historic Island, with traces of van
ished peoples, accretions of old cus
toms, memorials of forgotten events.
The greater part of Africa Is primi
tive, nature In a state of nature, and
nature is magnificent, beautiful awe
inspiring, terrifying, but rarely pic
turesque. The latter Is a characteri
zation of the works of man, which
comes to them with time. The frame
Is what makes the picture, and It la
only man who builds frames.
The narrow streets of Zanzibar, the
massive enrven doorways, the stern
old housed, the time-worn markets, the
crooked, mysterious alleyways, the
riot of color and tho babel of tongues,
the still heat that throws over It all an
Illusion of vagueness like a play seen
on tho stage, make a picture that will
remain fresh In the memory for years.
The Island Is set Uki a fluted emerald
In a green sea, with a still blue sky
jaunting changeless overhead. In the
past Zanzibar was the home of all the
wonder and cruelty of tho East, set
tled and harried by the Arab and Mos
lem traders from Egypt and Turkey.
Today It Is a British protectorate,
with a figurehead sultan, who spends
much of bis time and money In Euro
pean travel.
FIRST NAVAL TRAINING POST
Was Established at Boston, Largely
Through Efforts of Commodore
William Balnbrldge.
The first naval school In the United
8tates was established at the old Bos
ton navy yard more than a century
ago, tho founder being Commodore
Balnbrldge, who Is known as the "Fa
ther of American Naval Construction,’'
and who was born In Princeton, N. J.
Balnbrldge was captured by the
French In 1708, daring tho naval con
flicts between that country and the
United States, and In 1802 he was
held a prisoner for nine months by
tho Tripolitan pirates.

The other night we chanced to ask
an eminent physician of New York city
his opinion as to the number of people
who wore truly happy. Bis rather
dogmatic reply was:
“About one In a hundred.”
And this was not the opinion of a
pessimist, bnt of a most radical op
timist
Wo wonder if this opinion Is shared
by others. It docs not menn, of course,
that'ninety-nine people out of a hun
dred are deeply unhnppy—that would
be absurd. But there Is no doubt that
a great many people are quite unhappy
a good deal of the time, perhaps not
half the time, but enough rather to
cloud their lives.
Wo should llko to koow the opinion
of physicians generally. More and
more people go to the doctors to tell
them their troubles. The physician of
today takes the place of the confes
sional of yesterday.
Then, too, there Is the new applica
tion of psychology to the field of medi
cine—the so-called psycho-analysis,
which Is so rapidly taking Its place es
nn Important part, literally, of the
medical pharmacopeia. ' This new
science has given a wonderful Insight
Into our subconscious selves and re
veals- haw fnr that subconscious self
really dominates our lives and deter
mines the amount of happiness which
we really get out of this confused wel
ter of existence.—New York Tribune.

school for officers at Boston. In 1840,
some years after the death of the
founder of American naval education,
a naval school wss opened In the old
naval asylum In Philadelphia, and here
for a few years the midshipmen of
the republic were Instructed In the

was io successful that It was decided
to open a permanent naval academy.
Annapolis, Md, was chosen as the site

Slow Growth of Languages.
So long as government was conduct
ed exclusively by a throne and aris
tocracy, tha ruling class was con
strained to speak one language, that of
the court and of polite society. All
cultivated people In the land were edu
cated In the same literary tongue,
which was naturally used In official
transactions.
The uneducated classes talked their
own dialects and cared little what
their rulers spoke. They have not al
ways objected even when these men
affected a foreign culture. Frederick
the Great thought himself n French
litterateur and spelled his name Uke n
Frenchman. But when popular elec
tions were Introduced, and (tin more
when primary schools became unlver-

that I have turned against you. Yon
