immigrants OF q desirable character have
been induced to move on from the sea
board and to take part in the developing
work Of the great farming regions.
The United States government has now
taken q hand In this process Of bringing
the newcomers and the country's needs
into closer adjustment. The bureau OF
immigration has established a division OF
information which has been instrumental
In diverting large numbers Of the poorer
classes Of aliens from the crowded centers
to the Agricultural districts. Az noted In
the news columns Of The Star yesterday
this work has proved a great benefit to
the farmers as well as to the immigrants
themselves. This 10 proper and i'm
portant function Of the government. and it
Is a pity that It was not undertaken long
ago. Had the government SO moved when
the immigration tide began to assume
heavy proportions doubtless many Of the
municipal problems now awaiting solution
would have been avoided or materially
lessened in intensity
1t Is q question in this connection
whether the greatest good in a broader
distribution of the immigrants comes from
the supply of needed help or from the
avoidance Of unwholesome city circum-
stances. The two conditions are correla-
tive One OF the chief faults in our eco
nomic situation has been the lack OF bal
ance. and II now. however tardi!y. an ef-
fort is being made by the government to
bring about q better distribution of the
population doubtless excellent results will
be scored for the general Industrial health
Of the people.

The Kaiser as Yachtsman.

A report comes from Kiel. Germany,
that Emperor William is thinking of chal-
longing for the Americas cup and keen
interest has been aroused among Ameri-
can yachtsmen over the possibility Of the
imperial sportsman coming into these wa
tiers with a racer. Recently the kaiser
commissioned Hamburg yacht builder
to design q large racing schooner to re-
place the Meteor, which was built In this
country. II this new creation meets ex-
pectations in the races next June 1t Is be-
lieved that. the kaiser will challenge the
New York Yacht Club. At this point arises
the perpetual question Of the terms upon
which the Americas cup is defended. The
New York club has steadfastly insisted
that all contests for the great trophy
should be sailed under the old rule which
permits the construction OF racing ma
chimes Of the Reliance type. Foreign
yachtsmen desire that the international
rules governing yachting contests should
be adopted. These rules eliminate the rae
ing machine and restrict the entries to
practical sailing boats. A challenge by
the kaiser would lend great zest to the

Distributing Immigrants,

For years one of the chief causes for
complaint against the immigration system
in this country has been that the in
corners have not been properly distributed
with reference to their best opportunities
and the most urgent needs Of the coun-
try. Their tendency has been to congre-
gate in the cities. where they have only
added to the congestion and the problems
Of urban organization. to their own and
the community's disadvantage. At the
same time there has been urgent need Of
farm laborers- in all directions. Unques-
tionably much valuable time was wasted
by the farmers twenty years ago when
this condition first became noticeable. and
had they then started in Systematically
to seek for settlers and farm laborers
there would have been less trouble in both
the cities and the rural districts. Here
and there they did conduct organised
movements OF this nature. and to q
large extent the prosperity OF the middle

Bad Cooking and Divorce.

DR.. Harvey NJ. Wiley, the governments
bad-food sleuth, has been recently ad-
dressing the American Biscuit Makers
Association in convention at Atlantic
City, and in the course of his remarks he
has offered a contribution to the literature
of the divorce problem which should be
taken into serious consideration by all
thoughtful citizens. He attributes the
evil in large degree to incompetence in
the kitchen. to the inability of the wife
to bake good bread. DR.. Wiley says:
IF the bakers make good bread and
then educate the people to buy their
wares. the great destroyer Of domestic
felicity. dyspepsia, will be removed. and
we will hear no more of the divorce
problem.
"Wifey's bread has been more the en-
envy of domestic felicity than any other
one thing. and when this cause is re-
moved we will find good imitation OF
the Elysium in our kitchens. The trou-
BILE has been that lots of the bread In this
country isn't fit to eat. / don't know
whether you fellows made it or not, but
I'm going to be frank with you, and say
that somebody's in the wrong somewhere.
and they'd better look out
There's too much chemicalized flour
being used. 1 don't see any reason why
the color nature gave to flour is objec
ttonable."
Inc american pubic schools are doing
more now than ever before to equip the
girls of the rising generation In this de-
partment of domestic felicity. There 10
no excuse for a young woman who has
gone through the grades not knowing
how to bake. even though her mother
does not. believe that there Is any place
for her in the kitchen. A good many
mothers make this mistake, which prob
ably most of them bewail in later life
There Is no disgrace in knowing how to
cook. and many a woman has been thrown
into circumstances in which she has had
occasion to thank her lucky stars that
she was acquainted with the eccentrici-
ties of the kitchen range and qualities OF
the food supplies.
Possibly Dr. Wiley lays the stress OF
enthusiasm upon the Importance OF do
mestic bakery as a factor In the divorce
question, but there can be no denying
his logic: Good food. good temper; bad
food. irritability; good temper. domestic
tranquility: bad temper, trouble-bad
food. trouble. Cause and effect are
plainly related.
