The spelling of Mangel- Wur<eel Is a question which appoint* capable of be ing settled In- different ways. What is really Interesting about the word Is the fact that its name was altered from Runkolrui'cn by the Herman people.

S&c *t >our iln'K*i*4V Canal Street, New Orleans. THIS greatest port and metropolis of the southern section of thp UnlfcHl .States, New Orleans, Is unique ainonK cities of the Americas,* There Is no other llke.lt. Ufr-to-themlnute i n Its modern civic j (improvements, typically American in Its aggressive commercial energy, even ahead' of the times in its city govern ment and municipal ownership and control of public utilities, it is never theless, In some features, one of the oldest and certainly one of the quaint- ' est and most foreign of the large cit ies of tin? United States, says the Bul letin of the Pan-American Union. In the southwest quarter, with Its mod ern business houses and tine resi dences, the visitor finds himself In a qjodetn city of the Unltcjl States; In ten minutes he may cross Canal street, stroll Into the northeast or "Latin Quarter" and find himself in a quaintly medieval city , which might be French or Spanish. In the old "French Market" section he heurs a veritable babel of tongues ? French, Spanish. Yiddish, near-LCngllsh, and some times several of these mixed up in a "patois" that Is distinctively "New i Orloansesque." F.ven the names of the streets reflect something of the city's history. Its French origin is re vealed In such names as Toulouse, Or leans, 1)11 Maine, Contl, Hourbon, Dauphlnc, Chart res, etc., while other street names such as Unzaga. Galvez, Mlro, Salcedo, Casa Calvo, I'.aronne. etc., reveal the fact that at one time the Spaniards were In possession. Again Tchoupltoulas street would lead one to infer that Indians had .also bad a hand in the general admixture of no menclature. j Situated about 107 miles above the mouth of the Mississippi river, whose system of navigable waterways radi ate 1 .'1,000 miles through the great middle section of tbr -United States, and on I.ake I'onehnrtraln, with ac cess to Mississippi sound water routes eastward to Mobile, Ala., and thence by the Warrior river to the great coal and Iron fields of Alabama, the center of six canals, and the principal ter minal of ten trunk lines of railways operating a total of 14f>,288 miles, New Orleans has become one of the great Industrial centers of the world. Its manufacturing industries have an output of over $ 1 40.000, 000 worth of products annually, while as a market center tho city distributes $1 ,1. '10,000, ? (XX) worth of commodities each y?'ar, a tremendous trade that Is accounted for by the fact that New Orleans Is the gateway for the Mississippi valley, tlu- great producing area of the United States. Comprising 11 per cent of the United Sfnti-s proper, this great sec tion, which Includes from an economic >?t;i inlpoint '21 states, yields S'2. 1 per <?<?:?? of the nation's cotton and cotton seed prodwts. -7.0 per cent of its coal output. ?i'J.7 pet* cent of all the iron ore mined, <>7.."> per cent of Its live - 1 1 m k. an 1 "U 7 j>er cent of Its total m:thuf:u!ures State Owns Port Facilities.

The former Is the largest handling plant for an agri cultural product In the world, is the most efficiently equipped structure of Its kind In existence, and is a proflt ' earning, institution while serving the public most economically. The stor 'age facilities offered the cotton grower by the Warehouse, coupled with the low Insurance rate, make It possible for ' him to hold his cotton until such time as he may see fit to market it. while at the same time enjoying the use of bankable warehouse receipts thjjt are backed by tl*> resources of the state of Louisiana and are nego tiable in financial circles the world over. The port of New Orleans is one of the safest harbors in the world, and provides practically unlimited anchor age space. Vessels are usually anchored in the lower part of the port, the depth of water being 00 to 80 feet at low stage. From the city of New Orleans to the passes opening Into the gulf there Is a depth of water lrom GO to 90 feet. In the South pass there Is a 80-foot channel at mean tide, and at extreme high tide a depth of HI V& feet. The govern ment Is nt present at work creating and maintaining a 35-foot channel. The New Orleans, inner harbor, or Industrial canal, now in the process of construction, Is one of the world's great engineering feats. It connects Lake Ponehartrain with the city's river harbor* and the gulf. The route from New Orleans to the sea through the Industrial canal and Lake Poncliar traln will be approximately half the distance via the Mississippi. The canal will furnish Ideal sites for in dustrial plants. The Inner harbor ex tending from the Mississippi to Lake Ponchartrain, six miles in length, will lie entirely within the city limits, and will be served through Itrf length by the Public Pelt railroad. The canal is being built by the dock board and will cOst at lowest estimate $12,000, (XX). The Industrial canal will make New Orleans the port of deposit and the Industrial port of the South. New Orleans Is peculiarly situated to c^irry on a trade with the countries of Latin America. A glance nt the map will suffice to show that this large city of the United States Is but a few ! hundred miles from the countries of Central America and the northern re | publics of South America. With Cuba and the West Indies also New Or leans has the advantage of location over other North American ports. Via New Orleans Is the natural trade route between the Mississippi valley and Central and South America. Palm and Pine Flourish Together.

Although New Or leans situated in the southern : most p:trt of the I'nited States, it Is ft cooler city than ninny in the northern part. During the last 43 years there were only seven days when the tem perature went to 100 degrees or higher. Health condition* of NVw Orleans are reflected In the remarkably low death, rate. Hven including the rtc groes. who comprise a large percent age of the population, the total rate Is only 17.M for ? arh 1,000 population.

Not far from Treblsond <on the Black Sea In Asia Minor) live the clan of Stavrlll, descendants of the Greeks who kept ft Greek kingdom In being until after Constantinople had fallen, write* (ieorge B. White In the Amer ican Review of Reviews. The Stavrlll knew that they wore of Christian ancestry, but In aome hour of persecution their fathers had yleld e?l assent to Islam. The same build- j Ings were said to serve as mosques abdvfe ground and churches below ; the Ham/ men as Imams by days and prl/st# hy night ; thtf same boys were Raid to be circumcised and baptized ; and named both Osmuu and Constan tine. A few years ago these Stavrlll dts termlned to throw off the mask and returu to their Christian allegiance, and they did so, though at the cost of much government pressure lasting for years. With somq of them I be came personally acquainted when they were exiled from homo. One day a Stavrlll met a Turkish friend, and the latter remarked, "I hear you've turned Christian." The Greek an swered that they had always known that their ancestors were Christian Orthodox and they had decided to avow their original heritage. "But," said the Moslem, "you've been to mosque all these years, and we've said our prayers aide by side ; how did you think you could deceive God all the time?" "I never tried to deceive God," was the answer. "He always knew Just what I was. I tried to deceive you, and in that I succeeded." ? NATION WAS NEVER MORE FIT American People Have Learned Many Valuable Lessons Under Great Stimulus of War. "Under the stimulus of war we hava sweated off mental, moral and physical fat," says the New York Medical Jour nal. "We have been forced to curb our appetites. We have lenrned to sac rifice without complaint, fo dare with out bluster, and sink our will In the common weal. Many of us went to the trnln'np camps flabby. We learned to rise early, bathe cold, eat plenty, work ' bnrd, and sleep soundly. We learned i to obey promptly, to think precisely, j to work accurately, and to command properly. One by one the vest ripples of the body, mind and soul disappeared | and we were proud to be hard and fit i again. "There Is a great lesson In all this. ? Flabbiness is man's greatest sin against himself. It begets sloth, fear and selfishness. It undermines the mind, the character, the body. Is this | lesson, learned at the cost of lives and limbs and worldwide sacrifice, to : be lost?
