From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Americans have a delightful coun-
try In summer, but they make themselves
miserable milling around in it. Great
hordes of people travel on anything they
can board, and there is a general exodus
from wherever one lives to some place
where it is just as hot and twice as I'M
comfortable. 1t is as If the Romans OF
the time OF Augustus had all spent the
heated term In Norway and Russia, or as
If all the Persians Of the time of Cyrus
had similarly set out every summer for
the steppes of Siberia. There is, of
course. more facility in travel now, but
there is probably no more comfort. The
crowds are dense, everything is packed
and damned. and virtually no one is in a
good humor from the time he sets OUT
until he returns.
This Is purely habit--and a national
one. No other country does It. and none
ever will. Fashion has something to dc
with 1t. An American family with q
nice, cool home thinks it must close II
through the summer and wander in mis-
cry over the face of the earth until 1t is
fashionable to go back to Its electric fans
and its tile bath 1t Is almost pathetic
to see an American family return from
this exile. The father and> mother join
