BOOK REVIEW Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie An autobiographi' always in vites the reader to question Why? The biography may do so, but in lieu of a very obvious answer found in the reading, the ques tioner may always fall back upon the assumption that the writer o" the biography was hero-worshipper. True to form the autoblographv of Andrew Carnegie invites th query Why? Ant'ripating th" question, Mr. Carnegie explains that the interest and solicitations of his friends have led him to pre pare, uuring the last 12 years ot his life, the material trom which the book of his lire should to written. To Mrs. Carnegie wir left the choice of an editor who should be sympathetic and intel ligent. Certainly her choice of Professor John Van Dyke waa most happy. Mr. Carnegie's story goes b"k toScoHand. to Dunlermline, fain ous in ballad and drama, wher; he was born In is::r. His admtr ation for all things Scotch a l his continued interest in the land of his birth amounted to a passioh His confidence in the predestina tion of a Scotsman is almost pa thetic, especially as expressed i the last paragraph of the- lart copter o' the book. .

The pros pects or the coming world's wheat crop are favorable and the harvest is likely to produce enough to meet the world's demand, says SIP James Wilson, chairman of the central agricultural wages committee for Scotland, and an authority on that subject. He declared in an address ho delivered the other day on "The World's Wheat" that the world's rupply for' the current year is more than equal to the demand, and he predicted that on August 1 next there would be a surplus of exportable wheat left in the ex porting countries. But. he said. th!tf surplus, outside of Russia and India, would not be large and i' the world's future weather proved unfavorable, the fall in the world's price of wheat might be checked and the price might even rise again. For the world as a whole, he said, there is no more reason to fear a future permanent dearth of wheat than the world will be starved of food generally. He predicted that some time within the next 20 years the world's price of wheat, measured in gold, will return to a level not far from the pre-war average.

It has violently upset all birth rates, marriage rates and death rates.. It has altered the whole occupation-al and industrial configuration of the country and completely changed many of the customs, habits and conditions of ' the people. There is hardly a single question upo4 which we j can look back to the results of the j last census tor guidance, so great ; having been the break between that time and this." Precise facts are to be desired on thn score of unemployment so i : that the mtfh power of various tn-i dustnes may be determined. The datfy tide of travel between homes and places of employment is to be ascertained so that housing and transport problems may be dis posed of. The previous census in 1911 placed the population of England and Wales at 36.070.49;. Scotland 4.760,904 and Ireland 4.390.219: total for the United Kingdom. 44, 221.615.

ISjfflBE III Scandinavia Apprehensive Of Effects on Non-Bel-ligerent Nations COPENHAGEN. April 22. The steps taken by the entente nations to compel Germany to pay the war reparations are being criticized in the financial and in dustrial circles of Scandinavian countries. Apprehension is ex pressed that these measures will also have a punitive effect on the neutral countries. "There can be no doubt " said a prominent Danish manufactur er to the correspondent, ''that Denmark aTld other neutral coun- i tries, especially those bordering on dermany, will be swamped by German manufactures to the great detriment of our national indus tries, a great many of which will be ruined. I for one think that it is. high time that those coun tries, who for one reason or other took a neutral attitude m the great war, got together and agreed on a joint policy of pro tecting our own interests." A well-known Danish politic ian. Dr. L. V. llirck. professor of economics in the University oT Copenhagen, said in an interview; "The tragedy of the situation is that Germany will not pay, and cannot even if she would. Her home debt has passed tho sum ot $f.f,. 000, ooo, ooo Tho indemnity; Insisted upon adds an amount equivalent to the whole value of Germany's national wealth accord ing to pre-war standard. "Another tragedy is that France knows that a poliry of a stern Shylock asking Tor the last ounce of human flesh is absurd, and yet she is compelled to stick to the guns of her demands. Unless she keeps up hrr f.iith in the solvency of Oermany. she must admit her own bankruptcy. "This is then the triple curse of the present European situation: Germany will not pay and can not pay, at least not so much as France, who knows her own de mands to be impossible, must in sist upon to escape her own eco nomical destruction. The Entente must demand an indemnity, and is Justified in demanding it. but cannot for interior reasons accept German goods, "the only real means of repayment." 147 UBS OLD. DOES BIG WORK This Turk, Carrier of Heavy Weights, is Real Modern Methuselah CONSTANTINOPLE, May 2. Zora. Turkey's oldest man, said to be 147 years of age, has gone back to work as a waterfront ha mal (carrier of heavy weights) after a quarrel with the Turkish naval base authorities. He was recently pensioned in honor of his age and lonr service .and be was preparing to spend n M his lart years in idleness. But, vh pensions are not bein paid here because of an ethpty: treas ury. Zora declared he was still strong enough to work, and 13 daily proving It. He has threat Led to join the Nationalist array in Anatolia, but 80 far has. kept the peace. Old age makes itself respected in Turkey by a capacity and wil lingness to work. A certain Mu rad, employed as a mtBsenger by the Turkish telegraph office, wa offered a pension when hO had reached his 120th year. It re fused it, as it meant knocking off work, but his superiors insisted he must make room for younger people who otherwise could find no work, and would have no chance to get on in life. Murad finally agreed to quit, provided his young son was taken Ill nis plate. ima icrinrn n , and he was told to bring the son around. The son presented was a white-haired man more than 70 years old.
