Her father was a physician of prominence and she was given the best education that the times afforded. After receiving her early training in the public3 schools and from private tutors Miss Thomas attended Cornell college from which Institution she graduated with honors In 1877, when but twenty years of age. TJbe next year she spent at Johns Hopkins university and then came four years at the most noted schools In Europe, including Leipzig university and the University of Zn rich. Returning to the United States In 1SS5 Miss Thomas accepted a po sition as professor of English at Bryn Mawr college, and In 1S94 she became president of that famous college for girls.

Adams County

In casting up New Years accounts one cheerful individual remarked that be had never been in such bad luck that be couldn't see some one in worse shape. Perhaps Adams county, Ohio, which is practically disfranchised for Illicit vote buying may have the consolation of saying that some other county In Ohio has not been found out. And evtpry county in Indiana, along with all the rest of the counties in other stales had better look itself squarely in the face and ask where the campaign funds go to in every election. The Wayne County Republican organization which had no money in the last campaign seemed to fare pretty well but it is noticeable that the Democratic organization in this state was successful and had plenty of money. When the legislature is over we will be able to find out whether Indiana was touched by the money flight to as great a degree as .Adams county. It is about time that peoprie were waking up to the fact that there is some connection between vote-buying and state-stealing.

The Blood Money Bill Some of the members of the Manufacturers and Shippers association In Indiana must feel that they are in pretty bad business and company every now and then. The latest apparent move of the Inner circle of that body is to try to enact legislation in the next session of the Indiana legislature to break down tho Child Labor laws we have. Although Indiana is almost In the lead in Child Labor regulations its laws are not strong' enough. The silly "aged mother plea" which presupposes that children of eight must be forced to keep the wolf from the door of their aged three score and ten mothers is the sort of thing that our legislators are called upon to believe. Defore the Mil actually comes before the legislature it is not easy to say just what is the worst part of the bill. Mr. Addison Harris who is drawing up the legislation can doubtless make the law seem plausible enough for those who want to vote for it. But every man who votes for any such measure as has been drawn up will be equally criminal with the man who profits by the law. And those members of the Manufacturers and Shippers who are not Interested in this from a financial end had better look to it that their reputations do not suffer by allowing the sanction of their names to go on this blood money bill.

There are regions wherein the poorer classes or peasantry eat little or no bread. Baked loaves of bread are 3 Qd ot practically unknown in many parts southern Austria and Italy and throughout the agricultural districts Ron mania. It Is said that in the village of the Obersteiermark, not far from Vienna, bread Is never seen, the staple food being 8tera, a kind of porridge made from ground beech nuts, taken at breakfast with fresh or curdled milk, at dinner with broth or fried lard and with milk again for supper. This dish is also known as helden and takes the place of bread not only In the Austrian district named, but in Carinthia and In many parts of the Tyrol. In northern Italy the peasants affect a substitute for bread called polenta, a porridge made of boiled grain. Polenta Is not. however, allowed to "granulate,- like Scotch porridge or like the Austrian stent, but is boiled Into a solid pudding, which is cut up and portioned out with a string. It Is eaten cold as often ns it is hot and is in every sense the Italiau s daily bread. A variation of polenta called mainallga Is said to be the favorite food of the poorer classes la Roumania.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF YEAR

Nineteen hundred and ten was, on the whole, a disturbed and rather d isappointing period in American trade fina - i a t i t aftatt lnU8trr- -was a year of tticnn i m.p woT ,out luc-economic problems, of declines In nd i t t securities, of inflation ana later or unsett.ement and finally oi ,weaitness in many commodity prices, or industrial unrest and curtAiiment, or repression in consumptive demand, of numerous strikes, of poll tical overturn approaching the proportions of a landslide, and of changes in long established channels of domestic and foreign trade. Withal, and in spite or many drawbacks, but probably because of the momentum acquired in the previous year of tremendous activity, of upbuilding and of recuperation, it was a period of immense agricultural effort, crowned with not-, able success in some Instances, as re - yuanui,, ana ot recrra outputs in many lines of manufactures. It wit- j .k- . , ' sues of securities, while at the same! time it saw a volume of financial liquidation which in other years mieht uidation which in other years might have caused convulsion. It witnessed a vast expansion of banking transac tions. record totals of loans and posits and close to record bank clear ings, and yet fewer failures than in though the volume of failure damage was above the normal, being exceeded only in years of vital stress. In assigning causes for the disturbed conditions which pervaded the body politic and economic throughout the first place will probably have to be accorded to prevailing high levels of all prices, whether of securities or of commodities. The first invited attack because of extravagant manipulation before the year began while the height to which commodity prices rose in the opening months of the year constituted a burden which gave rise to bitter agitation and resulted ultimately in far reaching effects, primarily upon consumption, thence upon output and finally upon profits. In the latter respect there will probably be little dissent from the statement that an immense business was done at a small, in some instances disappearing, margin. Of this the generally conceded small net results reported obtained by business men and by manufacturers and the lessened net earnings announced by the railways are striking present examples. Declining prices of securities, high prices of food, meat boycotts, demands for higher wages by railway and industrial employes, talk of corporation prosecutions, this in turn unsettling confidence and preventing the floating of new security issues for improvements, all made the earlier months of the year a veritable "winter of discontent." Excessively large expenditures for food naturally less-, ened margins of earnings available for purchases of other necessaries and increased the pressure upon public officials to embark upon prosecutions to which the term trust-baiting became applied. Spring brought some relief in the matter of lowered prices, but the weather and crop uncertainties and manufacturing curtailment, forced by high raw material costs, caused conservatism in business.

While rumors of insolvencies were plentiful , enough early in the year, the twelve months passed with comparatively few failures or corporation receiverships, though the Columbus & Hocking Coal & Iron pool which collapsed on January 19 carried down three stock exchange houses, and Fisk & Robinson went into bankruptcy on February 1. Throughout most of the year the market so far as volume goes was inane, public interest was very light, and as a whole the professional element found it difficult to procure funds to engineer prolonged bullish operations, as the banks saw fit to husband their resources or to lend for short oeriods onlv. Withal, rates for loans ruled relatively low. save at the very outset of the year, when call money advanced to 12 per cent., promptly receding, however. Early in January stock prices ruled high, but thereafter declines which were halted by temporary rallies ensued. This condition continued until the latter part of July. In the meantime every upward movement produced more or less liquidation, the net result of the seven months' period having been declines from 20 to 30 points.

Industry was irregularly active, periods of record production alternating with curtailment and short time, such as have not been witnessed since 1903-04. The excess of pig iron production, resulting in record output as a whole, was largely in the earlier months of the year, while the summer and fall showed many furnaces banked, decreases in orders on hand, and mill operations scaled down one-third to one-half. Production of pig iron is 5.4 per cent larger than the record total of 1909, and iron ore shipments run 4.4 per cent better than 1909, but are 3.5 per cent below the 1907 record.

High prices of raw material and inability to get costs back out of raw cotton caused mill curtailment, ! in the spring and summer of 30 to 50 per cent., but more abundant supplies in the fall helped resumption to prac-1 tically full time, north and south. : Later, talk of renewed curtailment ' was heard.

Thus, clearings fell only 1.3 per cent bejow thfi record of 1909 Thia loss was, however, mainly at New York, where the decrease was 6 per cent while the rest of the country showed a gain of 6 per cent. Explana tion of the loss at New York is partly fnrnishable bv the decreases of 23 oer cent in stock transactions and of 52 per cent in bond sales as compared with 1909. Still, it might be noted that clearings as a whole were nearly 2 per sent larger than the 1906 total land nearly double those of a decade i ago. Failure returns were irregular. These were 1.3 per cent fewer than in 1909 and 16 per cent less than in 1908, though 13 per cent more than in 1907. Liabilities, owing to the occurrence ' of some large suspensions, were 25! per cent larger than in 1909, but 40 per cent less than in 1908, and less than half those of 1907, the record year of failure damageLooking Forward.

cer-jburden to abor, to manufacture and

jto .trade generally, which free buy1 ing of some generally esteemed nonessentials has not entirely concealed Perhaps the best evidence that Amerlean markets were out of line with the rest of the world was the reduction of our -export trade in food products, which one time constituted our strength in foreign trade. Coincidently, imports broke all records, this giv ing rise to the remark that the United States was a good place to sell in but not so favorable a country to buy in. In this contingency it has undoubtedly been fortunate , that our export trade in manufactured products and in raw cotton has more than made up for declines in breadstuff's and provisions. It will hardly be confidently claimed that home demand for food products is sufficient to take up the surplus productions of the country In a year Corporation vy School Levy o a o ca o c o a x IS rc o A o Q. w O U o 0. c o o o o a o to o o X "5 o to m u o & o O o a. o O o a. to o a to 3 15 20 14 50 35 43 50 50 8 40 50 30 30 25 50 20 31 42 50 8 50 30 40 S 25 20 30 16 30 20 20 22 18 12 3 18 23 12 28 29 30 37 35 50 12 18 20 50 12 40 6 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 23 25 25 25 50 25 25 25 50 25 25 1.00 25 25 50 1.00 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 1.00 25 1.00 25 , 25 50 25 25 10 22 20 22 50 50 52 30 10 61 50 50 20 105 60 30 50 50 25 25 50 23 25 25 50 23 50 16 43 j 23 I 20 10 " purchaser of property on the first day '"':.'.

such as this just closed and In view ot . foreign competition, bred of large crops in the rest of the world's surparticipation in this trade is hardly possible at present price levels. The situation of affairs would seem, indeed, to point to liquidation being necessary in costs of production, and past liquidation in the stock market may find a . counterpart in natural products, which seem to have advanced more largely than manufactthe world has made for a permanently higher range of prices. Pending an uxiiuitwij uuai pcuicmu va. solution is the permanent commission .w. ,.ac) r tho country's obviously large productive capacities to fit the comparatively narrow channels of small and frequent buying for actual needs, rather than large and confident anticipation of future wants would seem In keeping with the conservatism manifest In so many lines. A reriod of peaceful progress, and of genuine cooperation in the restoration of normal conditions of expansion in the country's activities, would seem necessary if the general community is to reap the benefits of the prosperity always present In a country possess ing tho magnificent advantages of this one, but which like all comparatively i new countries, experiences growing pains that to some unsettled minds pass for serious Ills of the body Itself.
