...Paris when they die" finds its converse in the popular belief that all bad Americans go to New York and live. Certainly, there is no question that the city has reached its saturation point under existing conditions. More people may be crowded in, of course, but growth in any except a material way is stifled at present. Only through the realization of some "Plan", developed by the most far-sighted minds, and carried out by the cooperation of the entire population, is the salvation of this, or any other large city of the future assured...

Merrill is Tech's best man here with Greenough and Stanley having only bare possibilities of scoring. In the broad-jump too, Fitts is a likely point- winner but except for him this event presents a large field of mediocre ability.

There the government has been in control in peace times of all the important railways except one,--and the only one to make expenses since the war has been the one remaining in private hands. In 1920 the Canadian Government lost $70,000,000 in operating the roads; and in 1921 another huge deficit coupled with the $100,000,000 interest which had to be paid, cost the Dominion half its income. The attached shipping enterprise under government control has also caused grave...
