He cannot produce the grain for what it is selling at present. He deserves, and recevies, the sympathy of everyone. Yet his bad fortune is good fortune for the majority of people. Consumers are able to buy flour and other wheat products more cheaply than for many years. The benefits are widespread. The cause of cheap wheat is plentiful production. This very cheapness is evidence that there is enough for the world to eat, and that the world. generally speaking, can better afford to buy it than it could at any time since before the war. Othcr crops have not slumped so badly. and the farmer who has not specialized on wheat may pull through well enough. Moreover. the remedy for the wheat situation is in the farmer's hands. and will be applied by him inevitably. Finding that for two or three years in succession wheat does not pay, the farmer will sow less wheat. Thus by a natural economic process the difficulty will straighten itself out. It takes a little time. that is all. Frenzicd efforts to improve the situation by hurried legislation are to be viewed with distrust. By the time new legislation could become effective. it might not be needed. And it is always a dubi- ous proceeding to monkey With economic law -— the legislator never knows what indirect, un- foreseen evils may come from his artificial interference. . O O O O O Scattering Cities The New York city-planning committee continues to talk of the time when the national metro- polis will have 30,000.000 or 40,- 000,000 people, and tries to plan accordingly, and finds its task growing harder and harder. Municipal engineers might possi- bly be able to work out the neces- sary organization. arrangement and transportation facilities .of a city of 40,000,000. on the basis of present conditions; but conditions are changing rapidly. Nobody knows what new arrangements will be required 50 years or 70 years hence. . The one thing certain is that ci- ties in the future are gomg to spread out far more than they have in the past. The ancient city was walled and close-packed With people because peace and trans- portation were lacking. Even the present city of any conSiderable size is badly crowded, with many apartment houses and few open spaces except on the outskirts. The future city may cover square miles where the present city cov- ers blocks. spreading its popula- tion thinly instead of thickly. Transportation makes the great difference. Distance becomes nothing. Automobiles and good highways, with airplanes coming along to supplement them, Will enable almost any city family to live 20 or 30 or 50 miles from its place of work, if it prefers. Peo- ple already are showing a strong disposition to do that very thing. 'A city. therefore, may be very much like what a county or'a state is now. THE VIOLIN.

Never before in all her long history was France so great a military power as she is today. She is a giantess in arms. towering above her sister nations in Europe. If Germany com- plains of the strong hand which throt- tles her in the Ruhr and cripples her on the Rhine, she will do well to look within herself for the cause. It was the German attack on France in 1014 which laid the foundation of her pres- ent greatness as a nation ready for war. From the day she gained the victorY. with the assistance of the al- lied and associated powers. she pur- sued tho policy of maintaining the world's largest army. and not only so. but also of binding to her service the armies of other countries. In 1920. two years after the end of the World war. she still had 794,000 men under arms: in 1922 she had 716,000. and now she has about 700,000, under promise of reduction to 650.000. . This would not be nearly all the standing force that she would have at her disposal if she wen now to engage in war. though it is by far the strong- est force today. on the land and in the air. The foreign affairs committee of the Chamber of Deputies a few years ago adopted a report authorizing a loan of 300,000,000 francs to the gov- ernment of Jugo-Qlavia. “'hat is the purpose of the loan? Better equip- ment and more munitions for the army of the Serbians. Croats, and Slovcncs. That army will be at the service of France in the event of war. Gen. Lerond has recently been at Bel- grade on behalf of the French general staff confcring with the Serbian gon- erals and inspecting their forces. He went there from Bucharest, where he advised on the plans for the reorgnni zation of the Rumanlan army. and ar- ranged for the military education of Rumanian cadets by French officers. partly in Riimania and partly in France. Shortly before then Marshal Foch had been in Poland consulting with Marshall Pllsudski on the promo- tion of Polish military efficiency. while the \Vareaw government was expend- ing its latest French credit of 400.000,- 000 francs for army equipment. It is believed that Czecho Slovakia will come. if it has not come already. under the same influence. But. leaving the Czecho—Slovaklan army of 180.000 out of lccount, see how the other armies would re-cnforce France if she zave them the word. Poland on a peace footing has 275.000 men in arms. and Rumanla and Jugo-Slavia has about 200.000 each. making altogether 675,000, or nearly the number of France's own standing army. Her strength is doubled by her offensive and defensive alliances. which are cemctod by loans that make armies of the smaller states possible. These are facts well worth remembering. We do not at present discuss the policy they represent. but in view of the Rue- so-German treaty of Rapsllo and the undesirable combination it may in- dicate. we have always acknowledged the value of having Europe belted by the Poles. Czecho-Slovaks. Rumanians and South Slavs. in co-operstion for the maintenance of peace. St. Swtthin‘s Day (N. Y. Tribune) St. Swithin's Day stands unique in the history of superstition. For eves-y other legend. tradition or vaticination there is at. least some shadow of foun- dation. some suggceton of plausibility. Men have found ill luck in walking under ladders. and have met with good fortune after seeing the new moon over the righ shoulder. People generally regard ich superstitions with amused toler on. while con. ceding that they are the sheerest phantasy. Yet the most preposterous of such things possesses the majesty of. philosophy by the side of the legend which for many years has sur- rounded the fifteenth of July. On eves-y imaginable count the thing is false and eclf—repudiating. Even the. name is wrong. for the learned prelate of \‘i’inchester was not Swithin. but Swithun. He w a never canonized as a saint. save by opular scclamation.‘ He left no injunction against the transfer of his remains to another grave. 0n the occasion of their transfer there was no storm to interrupt the work. but the entire day was one of unbroken sunshine. And in all the centuries since there has never been—in his own land—s. single instance of fulfillment of the tradition concerning his anniversary. Yet thousands of people who laugh at the superstitions about black cats and broken mirrors and who have no objections to 82 bills persist in re- garding with seriousness the spuriour doggerel about St Bwithln's Day. It is an example of the persistence of conscious unreason. ”1036 THE AUTHORS. “'hcre They are to be Found These Summer Days. . Joseph C. Lincoln won't be fishing on the Cape this year.
