Impressive American Possibilities

conditions existing in Europe, that
an equal area, more fertile and till
able, might do so.
Belgium is smaller than the three
southern states of New England, and
its population is at least 2,000,0Oo
larger, and Belgium comes near
enough balancing its imports of food
by its exports to prove that it feeds
more than 100000 of its people.
France is much less heavily popu-
lated, but the French rate, in proper
ton to the area of the country, would
make the inhabitants of the United
States number not less than $4,000
600. and France almost feeds its own
people. If isolated from the outside
world they could all be kept in com
fort, as far as food goes.
1t is not necessary to make COM
parsons with crowded countries OF
Europe or with the most densely
populated parts of the United States
to discover in the census returns re-
markable evidence of the possibili-
ties of growth which almost daze
thoughtful Americans.
From whatever point of view the
census returns are studied, in the
light of old world conditions and
some demonstrations of the posi-
bilities of population and production
in this country, the future is rich in
overwhelming visions of American
greatness. The more the facts of to-

associates and her faculty for col
lecting data about the persons she
meets, gave rise to the idea. A close
student of American history and
genealogy, Mrs. Clark has come upon
some interesting facts about congress
sional families.
The data already collected shows
that the blood of the old Puritan
stock flows in the veins of the wives
of many congressman. Whether 1t
be that the sturdy descendants of the
New Englanders have survived under
the hardships of pioneer days when
other strains have persisted is a ques-
ton about which many interesting
speculations might gather.
At first the congressional women
treated the request for biographical
material as joke, but soon they saw
that the information they gave, If
made accessible for all the members
Of the Congressional club, would az
ford mighty interesting reading. Now
that the women Of the present con-
gressional circle are SO shortly to
scatter, some of them never to return
to Washington, they have taken hold
of the directory idea with new vigor.
