In Praise Of the Pie.

Laura Simmons tells in an article
why good New Englandcrs should
stick TO pie. and calls attention to the
fact that Emerson ate 1t three times
day, and says that pie is the ladder
by which New England has climbed
TO its place of proud eminence. She
questions whether any sensible per.
son was ever known to forage at the
midnight hour for predigestcd cereals
or the innocuous prune. She does not
believe that many New England ances.
tors died of apoplexy. due to pie. but
counsels all to go on pie-eating. despite
the fact that the fat has gone forth
that 1t is vulgar to eat pie.

II il we'll known that two theories have
been advanced; one, the older hypothesis,
that the original homeland of the Aryan
stock was somewhere amid the highlands
Of central Asia; while the other and more
recent theory asserts that the Scandinavian
lands on the shores Of the Baltic were the
primitive race home IL il obvious that
both theories cannot he correct. The most
that could be claimed would be that one
might be a second home OF a part OF the
Aryan peoples, from which this particular
division subsequently branched out in
various streams. Mr.. Widney IL doubtless
right in asserting that the question does
not admit Of a final answer in the present
state Of historic research; hat we can only
compare the weight Of the evidence brought
forward On zach side. and draw a tentative
conclusion. He submits, however, that the
question Of the primitive race home Of the
Aryan peoples may have been discussed
perhaps too exclusively by the student
in his library from the standpoint OF the
antiquarian and the philologist. He sug-
gests hat il might also be examined profit
ably from the practical standpoint OF the
frontiersman. IL seems to him hat of

The war which this country is waginG
on the white plague grows more vigorous
every year. When the National Associa,
ton for the Study and Prevention OF Tuber-
culosis began active work two years ago
there were only seven definite State socie-
ties in existence.
Since that time eight new State societieN
have been organized and in eight Other
States provision for similar work has been
made. The distribution Of these ~societ!e,
is a matter Of interest. The East and the
middle West seem to be alive to the seri.

and the South are backward.
BY the census Of 1900, there were thirty
eight cities with a population Of more than
100, 1000 each. Fifteen OF these cities had
organizations two years ago for the proven
ton OF tuberculosis. During the past two
years eleven cities ave followed suit and
four others have provided for organized
work.

We nave seen hat in his frs, chapter the
author accepted only Professionally the
hypothesis, once generally current. that
the cradle OF the Aryan stock lay in central
Asia. The question of the original habitat
is examined at some length in the second
chapter. 1t il certain that the first home
land OF the Aryans was not in South Africa.
New Zealand. Australia or America. for
their incoming to these lands is a matter Of
recent history. Presumably also il is not
to be sought on he shores OF the Mediter-
ranean. for the Greek had q we'll defined
tradition OF an immigration from the north
in the Dorian influx. The Latin retained
no such tradit ion. but his close kinship
with the Doric Greek renders a like origin
probable. As to the Celt and the Teuton.
there appears to be fairly trustworthy evil
dence Of the occupation Of southwestern
Europe before their arrival therein by the
Iberian, whoever he was, as we'll rs dimly
traceable hintings OF a Mongoloid preced-
ing them in the north. OF Slavlsnd even
less definite afirmations may be made,
though il is demonstrable that even within
historic times il has Q swept by sue
cessive waves of different peoples.
Whatever people may have preceded the
Slsvs in eastern Europe, it il customary to
infer from a common proto-Aryan speech
a common proto-Aryan homeland. Ii il
customary because the inference follows
the same line OF reasoning which leads us
back in the individual family to a common
ancestry, to a common home. The COM
mon language seems TO imply and require
a common home. though Of course a given
speech may % superimposed upon an
alien race, "a when in the United States the

Where was the primitive home -presupposed

Mr.. Widney is undoubtedly right in assum-
ing il to be settled that it was somewhere
in the climatic belt OF the. mid-temperate

to a belt upon the map is broad. II en-
braces on the one hand a sub-Arotic margin.
as in Siberia. in the north Russian plains in
Europe and in the regions north of the
Great Lakes in America. On the other
hand il includes n sub-tropical region, like
the shores Of the Mediterranean and the
shores OF the Gulf Of Mexico. Between
these two margins lies the mid-temperate
belt, which partakes of the climate Of
neither extreme. and which in America in
cludes the greater portion Of the United
States; in Europe the British Isles and what
