never before known in Mexico. The 
speaker told a little about the racial 
conditions in that country and closed 
the topic by saying, “The best thing 
we could do for Mexico would be 
what we did for Cuba in ’gg.”’ 
A concise and interesting resume of 
the currency bill, which has recently 
been made fully active, was given. 
By this bill the currency of the coun- 
try, which has always contracted in 
time of special need, thus bringing up- 
on the United States the title of “the 
country of panics,” will hereafter ex- 
pand. This has been brought about 
by the establishment of regional 
banks, of which every national bank 
is a member. Miss Cole also told 
about the changes in freight rates 
which the Interstate Commerce Com- 
mission has brought about and ex- 
pressed her sympathy with the rail- 
roads, which , to her, seem to have 
been used as a scapegoat for the 
American people. In _ connection 
with the affairs of Congress, the 
speaker mentioned the ship purchase 
bill, which will undoubtedly be passed 
upon by the present session of Con- 
gress. 
In concluding, Miss Cole spoke a 
few words in behalf of stricken Bel- 
gium with her 5,000,000 old men, wo- 
men and children, who have no facilli- 
ties for helping themselves, because 
the cattle of the country have all been 
seized for the army, thus shutting off 
the meat, milk and cheese supply, and 
because the beet crop, upon which so 
many thousands of people have been 
depending, is a total loss, and be- 
cause there is no work for the lace 
workers, who are being fed at the 
soup kitchens. Five million dollars 
a month is necessary for the Bel- 
gians; but this does not seem such a 
large sum in consideration of the fact 
that $2,000,000 a day is spent in New 
York city. Regardless of question of 
neutrality, Belgium demands our sup- 
port as a humanitarian question. 
Miss Cole’s next lecture will be 
given at the chapel Wednesday even- 
ing, March 10, at which time she will 
give a resumé of the political affairs 
of Congress and something of scien- 
tific matters. 
The aboretum established at Wash- 
ington in Rock Creek Park, through 
cooperation between the forest ser- 
vice and the District of Columbia,

The timer industry represents 37 
per cent of the annual production of 
wealth in British Columbia.
