RIC ICH as is her historical background, the story of New England's industrial achievements is of far greater import. The birthplace of most modern commercial enterprises, after three hundred years of competition, she still merits her title, "the workshop of the nation." Maine, for instance, ranks high among the states in the production of fine writing papers; Connecticut, highest in the manufacture of clocks, firearms, silverware, fine tools. Massachusetts produces shoes for more than half the people in the country; Vermont yields 70% of all the monumental and decorative marble. Rhode Island is fifth in the manufacture of cotton goods, while New Hampshire is famed for its granite quarries and textiles. Today, no one section combines, as does New England, the natural resources of water power and raw materials with the advantages of a skilled labor market, transportation and terminal facilities, proximity to seaboard ports. These are factors making for a greater New England-for future prosperity. Merchants and manufacturers, wishing to capitalize these New England advantages will find in the Old Colony Trust Company a banking institution equipped to render every financial service.

BY THE WAY René Billoux, a laureate of the French Academy, belongs to the list of illustrious printers. He was born in Dijon, France, in 1870, and reared in an orphanage, where he was taught the printing trade. He left the institution at twenty and traveled ex tensively in Europe. During the war he organized the "French Printers' Relief Fund," and for this and other services he was awarded a Prize of Virtue by the French Academy. Through the French Government he has sent to all the associa tions of printing employers and workers in the United States, according to an article in the "American Printer," a souvenir de luxe, thanking them for their aid in the cause of liberty. At the Iowa Inter-State Fair, a news paper despatch says, special honors were carried off by girls' and boys' clubs of North Dakota. They won three first prizes-on calves, pigs, and lambs-while in the sewing exhibits the girls won first honors over eleven States. North Dakota and Nebraska, the report says, won more honors than any other State represented at the fair. A serio-comic incident is related in the "Century" in connection with the death of the Prince Imperial in Zululand, in 1879, when he was ambushed and killed by Zulus. A few articles associated with t the Prince were obtained from Cetewayo, the Zulu King, and forwarded to the ex Empress Eugénie. The Prince's watch was not among them. An old Zulu warrior was questioned about this. "The little beast, you mean? Oh, we were afraid of it, so we killed it." Having no notion about the L nature of the mysterious mechanism, they= thought the ticking of the watch meant a live creature, so they stamped it out of existence ! Probably in no similar area in the world can as many beautiful homes be found as in the few thousand square miles near London. Numerous pictures of these ata tractive places fill the advertising pages of "Country Life" (London); and if so many are for sale, what must be the total number? Among those advertised for sale in a recent issue of that journal is" Craig-y-Nos Castle," the home of the late Adelini Patti The extent of her place, as well as the (to an American) seemingly meager provision of bathrooms, is indicated by the statement that the castle contains thirty-four bed and dressing rooms and three bathrooms. With 457 acres of land, its price is given as only £30,000, which in American money at pres ent rates of exchange is only a little more than $100,000. Some other operatic star, one would think, would be tempted by this "bargain." on A workman in a Western electric-light plant, a newspaper despatch says, swung his right fist and hit a fellow-employee the point of the jaw. The blow nearly knocked the man out-but saved his life. He had taken hold of a plug which had been charged by a short circuit, and could not break away. His mate sensed the situ ation and instantly struck the blow which loosened the grip that might have proved Apropos of the paragraph about the word "mugwump in the issue of The Outlook for October 20, a subscriber "The danger of using the telephone in communicating unfamiliar words is seen in the case of a clergyman friend of mine who yielded to the lure of the press gave his sermon topic in advance as Babylon the Great.' This refined gentleman was reported as planning to preach on 'Baby on the Grate." (The ancient Greeks were without the telephone, but it will be recalled that Dean Swift made them responsible for a somewhat similar verbal mixup. Seeking to show the derivation of English from Greek, he said that a famous Greek ruler was very fond of roast eggs, so that innkeepers in Athens would call out when they saw him, "All eggs under the grate." This, says Swift, became corrupted to "Alexander the Great.") "A quarto edition of a Connecticut county history states that among the products of one town is decorated cocoanut." "An advertisement in a daily paper asked for a second-hand osculating fan." "In a mission school my class was reading, by verse, the parable of the ten talents. One little chap laboriously read, I feared thee because thou art an oyster man.' Elbridge Gerry, a subscriber reminds us, did not sign the Constitution of the United States. In a picture published in The Outlook of October 6, showing part of a pageant celebrating the signing, he was represented as so doing. Either the pageant-maker or the photographer seems to have made a mistake in this matter, for the authorities agree that Gerry refused to affix his signature. Curiously enough, one of his objections to the Constitution was that "treaties of the highest importance may be formed by the President, with the advice of two-thirds of a quorum of the Senate." This apparently seemed to the Massachusetts statesman to savor of autocracy. Was he, in this, a prophet unhonored in his time? No Matter What Your Life Work You'll find these charts of real value.
