CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING AUG. 12th, 1922 11,660 LORD NORTHCLIFFE, ft can be said of Alfred Harms- worth, known to the world in his later years as Lord Northcliffe, that he made himself one of the most influential men of his time in England through the chain of newspapers which he owned. That influence was felt most unmistai- ably through the troublous war years and it is generally credited to Lord Northeliffe that his was the voice that awoke Great Britain to the real serious- ness of the struggle and the inadequate means that the nation was taking o meet it. He was a man who feared no foes and asked no favors. When he criticised Lord Kitchener, who was En- gland’s popular military idol, he startlad the British public, but he aroused the government and people to a realizing sense of the peril of the nation, and he is credited to a large degree with being the influenge that brought about th2 mation of the coalition ministry, the eation of the ministry of munitions with Lord George at its head, and the sdoption of compulsory service for Eng- land and Scotland. His newspapers were financially suc- cessful but he used their power much less for money making than for the championing of ideas and definite prin- ciples. He was unawed by precedent and authority and the friend of today might be the foe of tomorrow when dif- ferences arose between them. He showed on numerous occaslions that, baving made up his own mind what course should be followed in popular affairs, he knew how to crystallize public opinfon in its support, for he had the secret of successful appeal to the peopie. His power naturally grew with the ever increasing circulation of his publications and it ean be said generally that his countrymen benefitted by his activities, sspecially in view of his wartime ser- i Now that he is gone it is doubt- whether his place will be filled. Men of great wealth may succeed in giving newspapers great circulations, but the power that was Northcliffe's depended upon the possession in a very excep- tional degree of the ability not only to understand the emotions and impulses of a great publie, but to shape them to his own ideas and to make of them an effective force in the conduct of great affalrs. THE AVEEAGE AMERICAN. Major-General Merritte W. Ireland, surgeon-general of the army, has made public the results of a study of the rec- ords of 1,000,000 men who were exam- ined for service during the war. He found that the average American is five feet, 7.49 inches high and weighs 141.54 pounds. The tallest men came from Texas, the most robust from the Dako- as, Kansas had the fewest defectives, Rhode Island had the shortest men and also the most defectives. In some of his findings, Surgeon-General Ireland sald: “The percentage of the defective men varied materially according to the section of the United States from whict they were drawn. The number of defec- e men varied by states from 64 per nt. in Rhode Island to 35 per cent. in Kansas, Rhodg Island, the most urban of all states, whose population is large- Iy emgaged in manufacturing, stood at he top, largely because of the defective and monresistent stock which has been drawn to this state. Kansas, on the other hand, is largely agricultural and such of its population - ‘= ~# foreign origin is of the more robust type. The percentage of the native born in Kansas s 65 per cent. and in Rhode Island 29.4 per cent. The French-Canadian group had the highest number of defective men, 55 per cent., while that of the na- tive whites of Scotch origin had the rmallest, 40 per cent.” Of all Class 1 men examined, 71 ~-- sent., or & little more han one in five, wers found unfit for military duties, sither at home or abroad.

And ths S | cost and he had working with him the president of one of the Jarge surety coin- panies of New York. What Dr. For- bush proposes has been approved by President Harding and by more than 500 bank presidents and 700 city school su- perintendents. It is somewhat embar- rassing for the country to admit that such work is necessary. Thers has been a decided change from the old copybook days when the child wrote that “hones- ty is the best Honesty was were few exceptions and, moreover, hon- esty was taught in the cradle up, The failure of the present day parent to meet all the problems pre- sented by newer generstions is throwing i additional work on the schools and ma( you courts.

The president of the United States probably exercises more power on his own authority than any other man in the world, and this country has been criticised by foreigners for asking more from its president than any man can hope to give. The experience of several able presidents, who went into office strong, alert and hopeful and came out four or eight years later broken in body in spite of the fact that men do meas- ure up to the job and do survive its trials. In such exigencies as now con- front the . president, when his every word is- examined with care by millions who expect to profit by his leadership, some allowance may be made for the perplexities of the office and for ths iimits of human endurance when coa- fronted by the necessity for taking some action which, whatever it is, will start new disputes and call for more de- cisions of equal importance. THE RAGWEED SEASON. Now is the season of their discontent for those whose suffering come with the flowering of the ragweed. The hay fever victims bear testimony that is far from mute that this unsightly weed is per- forming strictly according to schedule. Cause and effect between the ragweed and hay fever were not associated for a2 long time, and it was once thought .. be one of those wonderful and inex- plicable facts in pathoiogy that hay fever came to this latitude annually about this time in August. Now it is known that if there were me ragweed pollen to be borne upon the winds the snuffing and sneezing that are the marks of hay fever would not be experi- enced. Just as certainly as a relation between mosquitoes and Wpllow fever has been found, the relation between the ragweed and hay fever has been es- tablished, To take hay fever out of the calendar the simple remedy would seem to be to get the ragweed out of the fields. But herein lies the difficulty. The unwanted plant thrives along roadsides and on un- cared for land, where it is nobody’s business to uproot it, although it would be to everybody's interest to have it pulled up. stock and branch. Landown- ers who permit the weed to grow might be penalized just as they would be for other sanitary eviis which :endanger the health of a community. Town and municipal authorities might spend money in worse ways than in abating the rag- week nuisance along neglected strips of roadside, but, meanwhile, any public spirited citizen can do his part to see that his own yard or vacant lot is mot a contributor to the hay fever misery.

There is much to be seen there that ix if authentic. quite closely con- nected with the bard. There is the house in which it is declared that Shakespeare was born. It is now national property. Tt contains the Shakespeare museum, which is full of relics. There is also the New Place, where Shakespeare dled, and the Mary Arden farm. The Siratford iconoclasts have thrown doubts as to the genuineness of any of these places ag assoclated with Shakes- peare in the dégree they are cepresented to be. TIs the Ann Hathaway cottage, then, nothing more than a fraud and is there not a single gepuine relic in the Shakespeare maseum? At lease £o cer- tain wiseacres would have the public now believe. No less important a Shakespeare critic than Mr. Hallfivell-Phillins, we are told, is of the opinion that the probabilities are decidedly against the mo-called cot- tage ever having contained the woman whe, at the age of 27, married William Bhakespears when the latter was only 19. ‘Here is a vleasing allusion dissipalad at once, for those who hereafter visit the spot will conjure up the May morning ‘when the Bard of All Time must have gone the same round on a courting expe- dition, and probably sat under the eaves with his arm around his future bride. But what next? The next surprise is the disestablishment and disendowment of the old farmhouse still shown as that in which the poet's mother, Mary Arden, lived. Its history now is said to be alto- gether inconsistent with the theory that any of the ancestors of the Shakespeare stock ever resided there. Naturally, the people of the Iittle old Finglish market town are resentful over the scepticism. They would bhe the last people in the world to admit the truth of the story about Ann Hathaway’s cottage or Mary Arden’s farm. even when backed up by such a competent critic as Mr. Halliwell-Phillips. They have hitHerto found thie fame of the prince of noets ex- ceedingly useful to tReir small borough. ‘With se much scepticism regarding the piace at present being noised abroad, it is possible that the time will come when visitors. instead of seeing the present sign which guides them, will see, star- ing them in the face, the following: “Ta the reputed cottage of Ann Hathaway,” and Mary Arden's Farm, labelled “Ths uncertain building.” ‘Then supbpose tist the Shakespeare Museum were to meet the same fate, and such s not unlikely, for the jcono- clast has argued that many of the so- called relies are spurious.

The American writsr draws a picture of how Shakespeare may have sat in it when a boy “listening to the gossips and cron- ies of Stratford, dealing forth church- yard tales and legendary anecdotes of the troublesome times of England.” Irving remarks that the chair par- took of the volatile nature of the Santa Casa of Lorette, or the Flying Chair of the Aradbian Enchantress, for ‘“though sold some time ago to a nerthern prin- oess, it has found its way back again to the old chimney corner.” To doubt Shakespeare's chair means a depression in the relic and tourist trade at Stratford, and, after all, what does it matter if the chair i & modern one, every one believes it to suppesing be that in which Shakespeare sat while he composed ‘“Macbeth?’ Stories That Recall Others ‘wmflut paying his respects to the great- ———— Where to Buy Ome.
