Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

Henry r. Dayton, OF Detroit, was
among the guests at the Ebbitt yester-
day, and told a Herald reporter what
great strides his city is making.
Detroit is the boom city of the coun-
try today" said Mr.. Dayton. We are
paying the highest wages in the country
and have one of the greatest payrolls in
the country. The large automobile plants
are centering in Detroit because so many
of the supply houses are there. An auto
mobile maker in any other city has to
keep lots of money tied up every year in
huge supplies of all products, because he
dare not take chances on slow deliveries
In Detroit an auto maker can get any
sort of supplies he wants on a minutes 8
notice, almost. The Ford factory is larger
than a dozen ordinary auto plants"
Mr.. Dayton thinks that Detroit will
have a million inhabitants soon.
"In the last census we were below Bal
timore and Pittsburgh, but now we are
above 10000. We certainly have a great
many more people now than Pittsburgh
and Baltimore, and We are growing faster
in a day than those cities do in a month.
There have probably never been such
high wages paid anyone anywhere as men
are getting In the auto factories in De-
trOit now. We have a large lake traffic
that is growing constantly, and we are
getting new plants every day. A new
auto company starts up IN Detroit nearly
every month"
William Patterson, a travelling sales
man. from Chicago. was one of the guests
at the Raleigh yesterday and talked to
a Herald reporter.
The Wisconsin folks are getting quite
excited" said Mr.. Patterson, because
we are taking the water out of Lake
Michigan. We are using it in our sewer
system and turning it down the Illinois
River, and the Wisconsin people claim we
are draining the lake and that they are
not going to have any more water on
their shores. We simply have to have
the water and We don't think there is
any chance OF the lake being drained.
We think enough water will keep coming
down the lakes to fill up the lake.
we are having quite a political fight
between the mayor and the district at
torney. and we hardly know what to
think OF our government. It's pretty bad
We have an idea that Illinois will come
pretty close to voting dry soon. The
people will vote on the question soon
and down State Illinois will 90 strong
for the drys. It's a question if the Chi
cago vote can overcome it."

Oh, We're Wise, We Are;
Beat EN- All at Larnin

The District of Columbia Is getting
wise" Not only that. but it's doing it
faster than any State in the Union, ac-
cording to figures just issued by the
Bureau of Education.
The statistics, covering ten years. show
that during that time illiteracy in the
District has decreased 81 per cent. Corn
fed residents of Kansas come second
with decrease of so per cent. and Mary
land and Virginia trail along with 81 and
30 per cent, respectively. Every State
shows some decrease.
But this applies only to native-born
Americans. With the foreign born popu-
latiOn, it's Something else again, Nav
russ"
llliteracy among the foreign born has
increased-9nd increased so much that it
outbalanCes the decrease of all the others
combined

Modern Idea of Greatness.

When we ask what il is that we mod
ems deem to constitute greatness
among the men of our own or COM
paratively recent time, we feel that
the standard has somewhat changed
says James Bryce In the Youths Com
paniOn. We set less store by mOnarchs,
for they do not fill the stage Of the
world as they once did, although some
Of them have still large opportunities
for doing good or harm. Neither do we
give quite such special honor to mill
tary glory as former ages did. Never
theless, the essential qualities that daz-
zle the eyes of man may be still the
same. speak chiefly of the greatness
that consists In action, for the ruler.
the statesman and the warrior do their
work in the sight of the world and
can be Judged by II, whereas the poet
or the philosopher may have long to
wait for recognition, and even q su-
preme scientific discovery may not be
appreciated until long years have been
spent In working out its applications.
