...Columbia 3.7 California 25.8 Oregon 24.9 Washington 24.1 Nevada 21.25 Wyoming 20.8 Montana 18.5 Colorado 17.9 Massachusetts 17.8 Connecticut 17.2 Idaho 17.0 Ohio 16.8 Mississippi ranked last with about 4%. This rating places a group of seven Western states at the head of the list. Only two Atlantic seaboard states get into the first twelve- no Southern states whatever. The South in general stood last. Mr. Reeder declared that the ranking of the states in magazine-reading is about the same as their ranking in intelligence obtained by Army psychology tests during the War.

Before the War Bulgaria had a large sea frontage on the Aegean. But the Treaty of Neuilly gave this to Greece. Thus the Bulgarian seaboard was confined exclusively to the Black Sea. At the same time, however, the Allies promised Bulgaria an outlet on the Aegean; it being recognized that such an outlet was an economic necessity. In 1921 the Allies made Bulgaria an offer of an enclave on the Aegean coast; this was unacceptable to her without a corridor through Western Thrace to the Bulgarian border.

It is only at such times, when privilege and property is in danger, that the present society of high finance deigns to notice the lowly beast bird or fish...
Chicago is the railroad heart of the United States. The stream of trade which is the life of the nation circulates through this heart and is transmitted through the great arteries, or trunk lines, into the smaller capillaries. The seaboard cities like New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Boston may be likened to the lungs of this great body, for it is at these ports that the old blood is exchanged for new and sent back to the heart for distribution. Every throb of railroad policy that emanates from the heart is felt in all parts...
