South America.

North American customs are reversed in parts
OF South America.
In district umbrellas are used only to
keep off the sun. When the owner of an umbrella
is caught out in the rain with it he folds the UNI
brella up carefully to keep it from getting wet
Consider the La Paz district of Bolivia
There the skirts woman wears the
greater her social distinction
The Argentine had frontier no less
picturesque than that of the Uuited States.
South America has many varied points of in
terest But nothing there is of more interest than
the rapid growth recently of its trade with the
United States.
For instance, Uruguay.
Only three vessels flying the flag of the United
States entered the port of Montevideo in 1914
Last year there I54. Already this year
the number is Io3.
A new trans-Andean railway is being considered
by the governments of Chill and Argentina 1t
would connect Northern Chill with Buenos Ayres,
and would reduce by ten days the time of ship
ment of American goods to interior Argentina by
way of the Panama Canal. The cost of this rail-
road would be S25,oooooo.

LURD PAJAMAS FIND
EASY SALE In LONDON

The white-spatted and monocled
man who yesterday gave color and
excitement to the West End of Lon
don has vanished.
There is an air of langour in the
quiet grays and chaste browns of
the suits worn by London's young
men today. Mostly coats wrinkle
and trousers sag. Handkerchief
and socks, once so passionately
lurid, have sunk into somnolent
shades. The erstwhile dazzle dude
Is now but a blur on the Landscape
but only during the day.
At night the dull chrysalis turns
into a brilliant butterfly. Inquiries
made recently at the best known
London hosiers ELECTED the informa-
tion that while the bright -hued
handkerchiefs, socks and ties are a
drug on the market, it is exactly the
reverse in the matter of pajamas.
The more brilliant the pajamas
the bigger the sale, and hosiers find
1t difficult to keep pace with the
violence OF hue demanded in mascu-
line night attire.
The white day spats are forgotten
in the hectic quest for purple bed
socks.
The Washington herald., 1920-11-26
Waste Woman-Power.

Among other truths that Bernard M. Baruch
probably will discover, in following out his an
nounced plan to make thorough study of the
problems of the American farmer is the waste of
woman-power, shown in the survey made some time
ago by the Department of Agriculture.
The survey covered Io;oIs farm homes in thirty
three States, and made under the direction OF
Miss Florence E. Ward, who urges farmers to use
part of their increased income in raising the
standards of living so that women and young people
will not want to go to the cities in Search of at
tractive living conditions and amusements.
The survey dscloses number of the reasons
why many women do not find farm life attractive.
The working day of the average farm woman is II.3
hours the year round. In summer it is 1912 hours
vacation during the year. On the average, the farm
women can find only 10 hours of leisure during the
summer and only "a hours in winter.
Four per cent have water in the kitchen, the
others must go to the pump. Seventy-nine per cent
have kerosene lamps to trim and FILL Ninetysix per
cent do the family washing and only half of these
have washing machines. The garden work is done
by Sc per, cent and "a per cent spend six
weeks in the year assisting with some part of the
field work
All this in addition to the cooking, baking,
sewing cleaning, scrubbing and caring for children!
When Mr.. Baruch makes report on his inves-
legations, he may make comment to the effect
that it is not strange that women often find farm
life unattractive. 1t is to be hoped that his
mendations will include practical constructive
suggestions how to correct the situation, in view
of the fact that his findings probably will receive
very serious attention.
The Washington herald., 1920-11-26

ing pay bring less in the long run than others that
promised less.
The lesson is that there is no place for cock
sureness in entirely situations and no place for
personal abuse, so long as believes that others
also are interested and honest
1t is safe guess that great problem like that
OF world peace efficiency with democracy will not
be solved by sitting still. But such problem is
solved by ignorant eloquence or inyective. Tie
only possible way reach results is to try the best
scheme that one think of and stand by ready to
devise something better if that cannot be made to
work
A successful reformer is kind of inventor.
and he needs cool head and an open mind no less
than persistent desire to improve things.
The Washington herald., 1920-11-26
The Rockefeller Stewardship.

T Ohm D. ROCKEFELLER, Jr, says that his
~ father has converted from his own fortune to
the treasures of foundations" to charitable,
educational and religious institutions and to worthy

Mr.. Rockefeller's only American rival while he
lived, was Andrew Carnegie They and their lesser
mitators have created precedents which the Europe
OF pre-war days marvelled at, and which, now in
her poverty, Europe cannot expect to equal for
generations to come
Indeed it is doubtful whether in this country
we ever shall see the likes of Messrs. Rockefeller
and Carnegie again Our men of wealth will fol-
low the national tradition of generosity to social
welfare agencies. That is a habit which will not
depart; but we are not going to see the accumu-
lation of such gigantic fortunes as in the past.
Neither their acquisition nor their retention will be
tolerated They have been the Creatures of special
privilege" They have not borne such taxation dur
ing their accumulation society intends henceforh

The elder Roekefeller's latest gift is in memory
OF his wife Judged by the Rockefeller standard, it

uray is to provide income for agencies that work
mainly among women and children. Here again an
American tradition is followed, for the American
man is generous to his wife while she lives and not
unmindful of her memory when she dies; and his
memorial to her is apt to symbolic womanhood
and maternity forever in need of succor and exata-
ton.

Flexible Law.

Laws should help, not hamper, human beings
Laws should strengthen. not strangle, honest
business.
For instance, the antitrust laws-originaly in
tended, perhaps, to prevent monopoly. Beware,
and be good, ye predacious octopi" The net re-
suit? Endless litigation, business uncertainty pop
ular cynicism, fat fees for lawyers.
Another better law is administered by the Fed
eral Trade Commission. 1t does not actually define
business crimes BE fair, play square" is its spirit
1t leaves flexible the Interpretation of what is fair
and square. The same business act may hurt others
grievously, it may be harmless, depending upon
circumstances
Even this does not provide sufficient elasticity
for the proper conduct OF modern business. Most
business want to play fair. But man can
tell, with certainty, what effect his acts will have
upon others in the same industry, or upon society.
Mr.. Hustler plans of action, believing
it good, and fair. He sees it from his personal
angle, and drives ahead. Suddenly, he is jerked up
short, haed into court criminal His campaign
is halted; his plans disorganized His business
gets painful black eye.
Representative Steele, of Pennsylvania some
time ago offered what he thought better way He
is a lawyer, and business man. He says active,
energetic business in constant fear of inno
cent mis-steps. Laws often uncertain cloudy,
in definition of act; and always infexible in
furnishing the act whatever its results.
Steele says, let man file with the government
open and above board-a declaration of business
methods he plans to Then let him freely carry
on his business-until someone complains that pub
lie interest or business competitors, injured If
the complaint is justified, he must desist Up to
that time his original declaration shall be complete
defense against any charge of breach of law.
Steele says, honest intent should hold any busi-
ness man innocent, if his acts do violate,
technically the hard inexible letter of the law-so
long as no one else is hurt thereby.
The Republican Congress would do we'll to see
that such freedom of action is made possible by
whatever legislation is necessary.

Discharging Conscientious Obiector,." I"
With the

With the final discharge of all conscientious
objectors" imprisoned during the'war, the govern
ment has rid itself not only of them, but also of
their friends whose denunciations of the President
and of the War Department have been incessant.
and often insulting. If for reasons of conscience
men or women run counter to the popular will and
refuse to comply with law, then society respects
their fidelity to what they believe to be truth even
though it cannot agree with them in their concrete
conduct But this respect always is conditioned by
one fact, namely the willingness of the objector to
take his punishment in a dignifed way, without
railing or whining.
Quite in accord with the sentimentality and
moral soppiness of the times, the attitude of manv
of the American Conscientious obectors" has been
craven rather than courageous. They have asked
for all the rights that go with conformity to law.
they have insisted upon conditions of Imprisonment
specially adjusted to their sensitive personalities:
they have wanted to be martyrs without any of the
rigors of martyrdom.
