the spectacle presented by New York
1t was Dunsany who spoke of how the
'skyscrapers lifted their inscrutable
heights from their phosphorescent
depths" and it is Ibanez who, in des-
cribing his impressions of New York
as whole says: 1T was like a city
of giants as came into the harbor.
The skyscrapers were superb, immense
and, after the harbor with so many
vessels, it was tremendous. When l
realized all this was the work Of men,
1t made me proud was a man. know
all the great ports of the world, but
hone makes an impression to compare
with this"
But 1t is not only our mechanical or
physical achievements that have given
the Spanish writer a sort of ecstasy.
Since he views another American pro-
duct as a thing that exalts man and
mankind. for he believes that "the
United States has a perfect govern
ment within the limit of human per-
lection. 1t is progressive and it cures
its own defects. In the old world, in
the monarchies, the defects become in
situations and in time it becomes nee
essary to overthrow them" This rather
succint summary of what we are might
be referred to some doubling Ameri-
cans who seem to think that the opin-
ion of the most ignorant radical alien
that this government and this civili-
cation that have inspired Ibanez should
be overthrow should be accepted and
Endorsed and uttered from the house
tops.

In both the Near East and the Far

WHY PRICES AvlATE.

lSPHOSE defending high prices are
able to justify their stand in many
instances by calling attention to the
world shortage of all commodities and
the heavy demand for all necessities of
life as well as other goods. 1t will be
difficult for them, however, to defend
the ection Of the American Cotton
association, combination of southern
cotton growers, who announce a plan
to tie up two million bales Of the new
cotton crop. fifth of the total esti-
prices.
Prices Of cotton in the New York
market now rule around 81 cents
pound. This is about four times the
price prevailing in the same market
before the war and up to three years
ago, while the United States govern
ment was regarded as decidedly gem
erous in fixing for the wheat-farmers
price hardly three times the pre-war
presently quadrupled market price
for cotton measures up feebly against
what the growers think they can get
and now intend to get by concerted
action. What this will mean to the
consumer Of cotton goods, the house,
holds Of the land, going threadbare
from prices already prohibitive. can
easily understand.
There has been found to exist war
law enough to enable the government
to proceed against the coal miners for
concerting an action designed to limit

ANY necessaries" II cotton is not
necessary within the meaning of this
law, what Is It? And If 1t is a neces-

bulletin from the National Geographic
society.
The bulletin, based on communica-
ton from Ella c. Sykes, continues:
Persia is one of the oldest empires
in existence. 1t has been a kingdom
for 25 centuTes-ever since Cyrus the
Great, about $50 B.. c., conquered Me-
dia and united that country to his
under the name of Persia. 1t has had
many glorious episodes in it's long his
tory; has produced the great teacher
Zoroaster; such world famous poets as
Firdawsi, Omar Khayyam, Saadi, and
Hafiz, and such great soldiers and
rulers as Daius !, Shapur l. and Shah
Abbas.
Again and again the empire has
been a prey to anarchy; again and
again conquering hosts have swept
through the country, Alexander the
Great having many successor. the
most destructive conqueror being
Genghis Khan with his hordes Of saw
age Mongols-a leader who boosted
that he had slain thirteen millions of
his fellow creatures!
"The center of the country is a great
plateau, rising from 1000 to 5000 feet,
and crossed by frequent chains of
mountains, while q lofty mountain
barrier bounds 1t on the north and
south.
