Certainly not by fault finding or crit- icism of the manner in which they order their affairs. It is very doubtful if we can make sun- shine for another by the most earnest exhorta- ition to turn over a new leaf. That is more often humiliatng than helpful. The way to bring sun- shine into the life of another is to speak a word in season commending the good that we see in him. If we fail to see the good, the trouble is with ourselves, and not with the one we would help. It may be, after all, that speaking is the poorest thing we can do. There is a vast quantity of speaking that would be greatly improved by being left unsaid. Action, kindly, considerate and helpful, without speech is the greatest distrib- utor of sunshine, we known about. the resentatives of all the people will pass upor the merits of any plan proposed. In England, as in the United States, the head of the government. expresses the opinion that re- lief must come largely through the action of the farmers themselves, with such aid as the govern- ment may properly give. The language of the minister of agriculture in London would very closely describe the attitude of the administra- tion toward :the same problem -in the United States. His letter .to the National. Farmers’ union in England said in part: “After full consideration, the government came to the conclusion that the right course in the first instance was to’ invite the industry itself to indicate the measures that would be effective. Those engaged in the industry, and, in their dif- ferent ways dependent for their livelihood upon its prosperity, are.thos¢ who. alone can, speak with that authority which comes, from intimate knowledge of. the facts, and conclusions support- ed by the weight of their unanimous recommen- dation could scarcelt fail fo exercise great ef- fect upon the national judgment. “Neither the government nor the nation as a whole is in a position at this stage to express an opinion regarding the degree of assistance that the country might be willing to afford to the in- dustry without advice from the experts of the in- dustry itself, and I may remind you that the ref- erence contemplates not only action by jhe state, but also meastires‘that might be taken by the industry itself. If, however, difinite recom- mendations are made by the conference which involve state action, it will then be the duty pf the government to take such steps as they think advisable to ascertain views of the various po- litical parties and of the country as a whole, with the object of securing that common agreement which would be the best guarantee of’ perman- ence. President Coolidge hopes to submit to the pres: | ent session of congress the report of the agricul- tural commission. Our Melting Pot America has made its cooking pot the real melting pot and the easy adoption of foreign names to dishes of quite purely American inven- tion. A few such instances will indicate our pro- clivity; Hamburger steak as such is unknown in Hamburg; bologna sausage is not known to Bo- logna, the Italian city; Irish potatoes were brought there by Sir Walter Raleigh from Amer- ict; Irish stew is not at all a national dish, though it is known there; Vienna rolls or bread are not Viennese; our Mocha and Java coffee is Brazilian; the Welsh rarebit is not indigen- oue to Wales and assuredely the humble sandwich cannot claim the Sandwich islands as its orig- inal habitat. Brussels sprouts, Spanish stew and other such names will occur to mind. Regardless of the name, the American people enjoy a regimen of food that for variety, Piquancy and nutriment excels that of any country in ‘the world. It is part ofthe American standard of living and if we borrow names for it, it is the only thing we need to borrow. We furnish the in-| gredients ourselves and are blessed with both the appetite and the means to enjoy them to the = The Labor Federation “Despite the outward harmony that attended the election of William Green as president of “ahe American Federation of Labor, in succession td Samuel Gompers, there are signs that the death of the man who for more than forty years ruled the American labor movement, will bring about far-reaching changes in the organization. The chieftains of the labor group are reticent, as always, about the inside politics of their organ- ization, but many of them regard Mr. Green as merely a “stop-gap.” His task of holding together the heterogeneous elements that make up the present federation and maintaining its prestige ‘gnong the other powerful labor groups that lave grown up in the past few years is not an «Rasy one. The new president’s tenure may be: the Jonger because any attempt to change materially the policies pursued by Gompers would be likely to tear the organization to pieces. The outstanding fact, constantly before the eyes of the federation executives is that it is teadily declining in membership. As against 1,078,048 workers paying dues to the federation in 1920, there are now only 2,865,979, a loss of more than « million in four years. Something like a sixth of the entire membership is made np of the United Mine Workers, of which Mr. Green formerly was secretary-treasurer, is the assurance given by John L, Lewis of the mine workers, that his organi- ration would give whole-hearted support to the new president that brought about his election as against higher ranking vice presidents, who were members of unions with less voting strength. Lewis is generally named as one of the two strong- est personalities in the federation since the pass- ing of Gompers. The other is William H. John- ston, president of the Machinists’ union, and prin- 1 leader of these elements of railroad labor which are included in the federation. Lewis is counted a conservative, more so even than was Gompers. Johnston is credited with initiating st of the ideas that have crept into the Amer- n labor movement in the past few years. tever may be the future of the federation, it ertain that these two men will play an im. portant part in its affairs. The Agricultural Problem It is a very notable coincidence that following the recent conservative victory in England and a spnilar conseryative victory in the United States, extke adminis ions of these two great nations .-m2re confronted with much the same problems and are dealing with them in much the same way. ‘Yor instance, in England, as in the United States, agriculture has been suffering a depression and ‘m both countries the subject was discussed dur- inig the campaign. In the United States a revival of grain prices relieved the situation at least temporarily and there was a slight improvement in England, but in both countries it is recognized that this cannot be relied upon as a permanent settlement of the farmers’ difficulties. President Coolidge sought a solution of the ‘agricultural problems by appointing a commis- ~ ion composed of farmers and others engaged in ““jusiness closely related to farming, delegating to them the task of securing from the farmers ‘aid permanent improvement in the conditions fuuaider which agricultural producers operate. The “ssiggestions thus produced will be submitted to congress for consideration. In England, the minister of agriculture has “tepresentative organization of farmers, to set eforth their ideas as to the nature and extent of nid they think the British government should render. There is no promise in England, or here, that the plan thus arrived at will be adopted, but in each instance, the government is calling upor tle farmers to make the first suggestion. After the farmers have made their views known, the yecommendations will go before congress in this conntry and before parliament in Ungland, where full. Practical Economy: There’s no pleasing everybody. When Calvin Coolidge went out to icago a while’ back to see the prize steers, high*school horses and fatted sheep he traveled in one of the regular sleeping cars, instead of on a’special train or even in a private car. President Coolidge was saving a few hundred dollars of the taxpayers’ money. A good many people approved. A: good many: did not. The other night the president gave his cabinet: a| dinner. It'has, been the practice on such occa- sions to bring an expensive caterer.to the White House to prepare the meal. The cabinet ate a din- ner prepared by the regular White House chef. Washington is not used to economy in high places. The capital is considerably exercised about the carryings on of the White House folk. If the Coolidges are not careful they are going to get themselves talked about. Too Much to Expect One of the very best new year’s resolutions that could be made and one that would be re- ceiyed with greatest favor by the people of the United States would be formal, solemn resolu- tion by the members of congress now assembled | to quit their pettiness, their small factionalism, their post-election bickerings and get down to business, with the sole view of giving the coun- try the best legislation it is within their power} to pass, and to do the job without any unneces-| sary oratory or conversation. ‘When a Vote Counts Even in a state election,a single vote may be | of vast importance, Every now and then the truth of this assertion is confirmed. In Indiana, for} instance, Judge Willoughby was, elected to the su-| preme bench by a margin of one vote. Te had 601,- | 861 ballots to the 601.860 cast for his opponent. Here is a decision. by a margin of but one in| more than 1,000,000 votes that were cast. Let no man say that his vote is unimportant. Sticking to Text It has been the Democratic party which has been the chief offender in the matter of raising temporary issues in the national campaigns since the civil war. The Republicans have stuck pretty close to their knitting, whenever permitted to do so by the strategy of the opposition. They have always stood for a tariff to protect American labor and enterprise, and for sound money, All Republican administrations have maintained the protective policy, the resumption of &pecie pay- ment and the adoption of the gold standard of money came while the party of Lincoln was -in power. Union Wage Increase Union scale of wages and hours of labor of about 895,000 members of organized trades in sixty-six of the principal cities of tle United States show that the hourly wage rate on May 15, 1924, was higher than in any preceding year. It was 83 per cent higher than on the same date in 1923, 99.8 per cent higher than in 1917, 128.1 per cent higher than in 1913, 141.5 per cent higher Ly in 1910 and 154.2 per cent higher than in High Cost of Puncture A punctured tire cost an Illinois man $3,000 the other day. He was under cash bond to amount tn a case against him and ‘had the blow- ont on his way to the hearing of his suit. It de- layed the court proceeding to such an extent that the judge peremptorily ordered the bail forfeited. When the defendant finally reached the court room he learned that he wag all of $3.000 to the bad. He figures that he might have done better had be welked. reer a ee ee al erie a ee eee CROSS-WORD PUZZLE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES Start out by filling in the words of which you feel reasonably sure.

Burney of the British nayy, who, declares: that air- planes: will be constructed to fly 500 miles: an{hour, can hardly be dis- missed as a visionary. The speed of hheavier.than-air crdft has been increased. in twenty-one years from less/than forty miles an hour to 278.

Phe increase may not seem extraordinary, but the record of 1924 must be compared with what was considered an amaz- ing performance in 1919: that was the speed’ of 164 miles an hour at- tained by an army scouting machine at Ithaca, N. Y.. In five years there has ,been*.a*gaim in .speed of 114 iles an hour.. The advance in the ed. of long-distance flying a com. parison of transcontinental fights will show. In 1912 R.

No one now doubts that an airplane will ‘soon attain a speed of 300’ miles ‘an hour, or that a tran: continental flight will be made be- fore long at an average speed of more than 200 miles an hour. ‘It is the comparatively young mien who “are designing ‘as well as flying airplanes..

I have every hope that this belief will be now trans- ferred to the building of a supreme air fleet.” Commander Burney's calculation that the outpost of empire will some day be reached by airplane in twenty-four hours seems hardly more fantastic than his opinion that in ten years bombing planes will be able to cross the Pacific in three days and destroy great cities. He is so impressed by the danger to civilization of high explosives and poison gases that he urges disarma- ment and world co-opertion to pre- vent war. - Future Chicago Chicago's population, according to the carefully considered epti- mates of the federal cnesus officials, now exceeds 3,000,000, and that of Greater Chicago—including the suburbs within ten miles of the city Umits—is more than 3,700,000. That Chicago, because of its energy and enterprise and its exceptionally advantageous geographical position, is destined ultimately to be the larg- est city in the world is the settled belief of many persons.. For them it is not a question of speculation, but virtually of mathematical calcu- lation. And there are only London and New York—and perhaps Berlin and Paris—to be passed. But whether Chicago ts to become the world’s largest city, or when, is no longer the foremost question with the truly forward-looking citi- zen or municipal official. There are more important matters to be con. sidered, matters that look toward guaranteeing for the Chicago of the future the best possible living con- ditions, better and broader educa- tional and cultural facilit the ex- tension of the city’s commerce and industry, the provision of a trans- portation system by which onv may easily and conveniently go from any part of the city to any other, and more efficient and economical government. If anything ‘in the future 1s cer- tain Chicago is certain to continue its rapid growth. It is a prosper- ous, healthful and attractive city in which to live, and has very many elements of beauty. Through co- operation of the will and spirit of its people its advantages can be not only increased but guaranteed for the future. Hay.
