One could easily multiply examples of America's powerful vitality. sojourn in the United States is even, and especlally for a forelgner, to be rejuvenated. In the desire to protect tho health of the race the public authorities take rigorous measures, which in France would scarcely be tolerated. First among these meas ures s the prohibition of all alcoholic drinks, including wine and beer. America talk endlessly of regime. Many complain of it (more own compariots) On board ship their haste to enjoy our good wines was evident. “Where does prohibition begin?” an American asked the bar- | tender. “At the Statue of Liberty was the reply, which made the Yan- kee angry, but he had to admit it.

DRY LAW DECLARED BY HERRIOT PROOF OF COUNTRY’S VITALITY Says Such Efforts to Guard Public Health Scarcely as here by stupid rules, by unchange- able traditions, or by the habits of contractors We are familiar with the role of the club in the lives of rich or well- to-do Americans, as a center of busi- ness affairs and of sport. Mr. Greber said justly that the Americans are busier organizing, hunting, golfing and flehing, than in the elaboration of their trusts. Fencing rooms and symnasiums, swimming pools and courts for squash and tennis, grounds for base ball and polo—all are ar- ranged to tempt the passerby to exercise. There is nothing llke it in France; nothing comparable to the delightful country clubs, surrounded by lawns and flowered pergolas. Everywhere and always this need of movement, life refreshed In the open air. FEven Intellectual work is or- ganized to profit from these advan- tages. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has created a great Summer camp. in which young engi- ncers may pursue their studies close to nature. So, to dscribe the United States as a country of skyscrgpers and of quan- tity production is to limjt oneself to & narrow view The nited States is also the land of free and natural living—the land of jov. Yes, the United States fs the land of joy, of healthy joy, free life in the open air. To represent its people as prisoners of a mechanical civilization is a calumny. In our plan of work- 1€ toward a rapprochement of our two nations (let neither imprudently separate Itself from the other) we wish to show that this people con- forms to an ideal, that it represents ne of the flnest forces of the future.

Despite the fact Washington will not be the scene of the much-de- sired 1025 Army-Navy foot ball classlc, the Washington Chamber of Commerce, which has in the past made every effort to ha these big scrvice games brought to the Natfonal Caplital, will continue fts efforts to make the District the center of Na- tYonal sports. The Chamber feels that in order to place Washington in a position to be really competitive with other clties a large stadium here is necessary. It has been suggested that the stadlum should seat not less than 100,000, and Gus Bucholz, a member of the chamber, has signified his inten- tions to start the campalgn for such a project with a donation of $5,000. It is_thought that if the citizens of the District raise sufficient funds to erect the stadlum Congress will provide the ground in some proper locality. 1 plain.
