the unholy arrangement which separates
by many profits the producer from the

enough attention until a phrase came
which struck a spark. 1.-THE most i'm

speaking Of the farmer shaving 16 hours

In the varying descriptions OF our SOL
diers that drift back from France and
England thin Tipped" is becoming stock
phrase. Just as we might talk of the
''swarthy Neapolitan'i or the blond Prus-
siam or the dark eyed Spaniard,' our
friends abroad are beginning to sum up
Dur whole army under the one adjective
pharacterizing our lips.
We who ride in the ,subway-or know
any large American city-may see the
aumor of such a summary as its chief
characteristic. Goodness knows how many
Americans we have of utterly varying
types. Not one adjective, but 20. would
be needed to classify all the lips in one
Lenox avenue subway car during rush
hours.
But such national tags go by the ma
}ority, or even a minority. II It's salient
characteristic happens to be the most out
standing national detail OF physiognomy.
The blond Englishman, for example, is a
by no means prevailing type in England;
yet he has stood in the eyes OF many
Americans as the one typical English
man. The sandy Scot may be better
example. but he does not stand for all
his countrymen any more than the roll
licking Irishman of Dublin can represent
his gloomy west coast brother.
