and the mournful work of identified

The Lady Grey was escorted by his

PRESIDENT WILSON
PREDICTS PROSPERITY
Says He Expects to See it Come
With Jump Exports
Exceed Imports.

WASHINGTON, June l. Prcsi-
dent Wilson today expressed his con
vietion that any present unsatisfactory
condition of business is felt less In~thc
United States than in any other part
of the world. Mr. Wilson reiterated
his view of the general business situa-
tion at the first conference he has held
with Washington newspaper CORES
pondents since the Mexican situation
became acute. Questions on that subject,
however, and on the peace conference
at Niagara Falls were barred.
The President said he believed pros
perity would come with a jump as man
ufacturers in general believe it is com
ing. He did not think the tariff had
anything to do with it. Secretary
Redield IS statistics showing the ex.
cess Of exports over imports were cit

contention.

NATION OF WILD
MEN FOUND

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 19.-Former
expositions have shown wild men and
women from the A%ntipodes, but it has
remained for the San Diego exposition
to find a whole nation Of wild men
within the borders of the United
States, a whole vast area where Moth
ing has progressed since before the
invasion Of Mexico by Cortez in 1917.
This area is in northeastern Arizona,
and the Santa Fe railway will cover
ten acres of ground at the exposition
with as close d copy Of this country
as is possible to produce.
This locality is known as the paint
ed desert" It's a lane where no white
man has dared attempt agriculture or
mining, where there is nothing but
the Indian, his ancient civilization I'M
altered, living in six story houses of
100 rooms without an outside door, do
ing the same things in the same way

fore white men came to America.
Comparatively few white men have
penetrated this district. None has re-
manned there. At long intervals a
scientist has penetrated the f~aStness
of the red and yellow hills. Indians
emerge from it occasionally, but they
invariably return. Their homes are
the identical buildings erected many
centuries ago. Their pottery is the
same, used for the same purpose and
in the same crude manner Their

FRENCH ACADEMY REVIVED.
Prestige i Enjoyed Years Ago Has

Prestige II Enjoyed Years AGO Has
Been Regainsd to Some Degree.
Springfield Republican: Observers
in France have noted a certain revival
or the prestige of the academy, which
to a considerable extent waned a gen.
Grafton ago, as a result Of the power
full revolt against what was felt to be
its excessive conservatism.
There was a time when the most
powerful as wen as the most popular
writer's were outside it's walls. and it
was rather the fashion to sheer at the
immortals as old fagies-a tendency
which Daudet fostered by his satirica]
novel, The Immortal. Yet in thai
novel he shows, under a thin veil. the
burly figure of lola vainly seeking ad.
mission, ready to crawl in on all tours
and that Is a fair illustration Of thu
spell which the academy, even wher
its prestige was lowest, exercised upor
the stoutest rebels.
Now the force of rebellion has rathe
spent itself, while the academy itself Il
by no means SO narrow as it was. a,
the recent awarding Of a prize to Rol
land for his Jean C~hristophe shows
Yet the prestige Of the Academic de
Concourt, which was founded as a,
outpost Of secession, has not shrunh
and It's prizes are as highly valued a
ever. The Goncourt prize Of $1,000 thi
year goes to Marc Elder for his novel

folk on the Island Of N~ormontier, of
the west coast Of France.

Why the Constitution Doesn't Fit,

San Francisco Bulletin: In the year
1870, according to figures printed in
one of the recent publications Of the
census, there was only one city in the
United States with a population. Of 30
600 or more. That was New York,
Only. eight-tenths Of 1 per cent of the
people of the country were living I'M
der anything resembling urban condi-
tons. No wonder statesmen of that
time believed that America would
never be a manufacturing country.
In 1850 there were twenty-six cities
of more tha7 $4,000 population, and
1913 per cent Of the population lived in
them. And still the country was over
whelmingly agricultural.
But, with the civil war off our hands,
things began rapidly to change, and
the latest report is that America has
1913 cities Of more than 10000 popula-
ton, and that 30.4 per cent Of the ma
TONS population live in them. If we
add to this the numbers of people who
live in cities Of 10000, or is, 900, or
even 10000, under conditions which
are really more citified than those in
New York in 1890, we can realize what
a vast change has taken place.. The
United States has moved into the city.
Our national problems, despite our
vast farming acreage, are problems of
cities.
Considering this. and considering
that the frame Of u government was
laid in 1887, it is no wonder the con-
Stitution doesn't fit.

the contrary. They jrrigate small
patches Of grain just as did thei1
forefathers. The country repels ever
the hardy p~rospector. Trees, except
those petrified into stone, are not
seen. No two hills are of the same
color. The very rocks are variegated
in hue. The pitiless sun scorches all
vegetation encouraged by the winter
and spring rains.
Members Of the Santa Fe explor-
ing party declare the painted desert
rivals the wonderful Grand canyon OF
the Colorado in grandeur and beauty
Of scenery. A second party has been
sent into it to gather material for the
