POPULATIONS TIDE.

Since the outbreak of the war the drift
of population from the farm to the city
has been apparent II has been the sub
ject of comment generally by those who
have directed their attention to economic
conditions in the country and various
remedies have been proposed. But 1t WAS
only when the census bureau had COM
pleted count of about s5 per cent OF the
population Of the United States and made
the recessary deductiors from the figures
cleaned that the extent of this drift was
made known.
II appears that urban population has
increased during the last decade at APP
proximatoly the same ratio as during tho
preceding ton years, but that rural popu-
lation for the Same period Increased only
about one-third as much as from 1900 TO
1910. Deduction shows that the cities
are increasing in population seven and one
half times as fast as the rural districts
The average increase for the entire
country is l5 per cent. The average IN
crease for the cities is 25.2 por cent, while
the average increase for the rural districts
is 34 per cent Based upon the fqnes
now in hand, II is estimated that the total
population of continental United States
will be shown 10 be about los, 7es 100, of
which 54.796, 100 will be In the cities and
80, 972, 900 in the country.
These statistics servo to emphasize the
problem which this country now con-
fronts. The reason for these conditions
are not as important as the means OF
changing them. There is variety Of
reasons for the phenomenon. Primarily,
no doubt the drift TO the cities was in
creased by attractive high wages which
ff.xI Tftt ha hp- h
short working hours ard the comforts and
amtIsements of urban life. However, many
other factors might be brought forward
to account for the remarkable shift in
population.
The facts disclosed by the census figures
account for the shortage Of farm labor,
which has sent farm wages up 10 such
a high point as TO increase materially the
price of agricultural products. They also
account III large measure for housing con-
ditions in the cities, which have resulted
in cxorbitant reuts, and IN many COM
muEitics have made 1t practically impos-
sible for families 10 find living accom-
modatiors at any price.
Now the great question is the remedy.
How is the tide Of population toward the
city TO be checked and turned In the OPP
posite direction? 1t must be dore If the
proper balarco is TO be maintained, for
there are now ncarly $4,000 000 food con-
sumers in the cities and less than 81 ,000,-
600 food producers. If the present rate
of increase in the population of cltres and
rural districts Is maintained for another
ten years, the people of America will be
largely dependent upon imports for their
food supplies. There Is here a problem
calculated to test the ability Of the wlsest
statesmen. The future well-being of the
nation rests upon its proper solution

THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL.

No one exceed the President In lucId.ty
and cogency of statement lie manages
to argue case in the mere form of stating
1t. He was never more simple and con-
v.ncng than in his appeal to the American
people To vote for the League Of Nations,
for the only means OF preserving the
worlds peace, and for the completion of
the work We entered upon when we took
part in the World War.
Every particle of the opposition TO the
League is partisan, manufactured for
political effect after the Congressional
election two years ago raised hopes among
the Republican politicians Of defeating the
President. Before that everybody took it
for granted that an association OF nations
to prevent a repetition of the crime of
1914 Ihust follow the war and would
Justify our participation in it. The two
Republican ex-Presidents were eonspcu-
ously and actively engaged in promoting
such combination of nations, with
power to coerce recaicitrant nation and
TO prevent the beginning OF the war. No
body doubted that that was what we went
into the war for. AL the opposition 10 the
League has been worked up for politiea,
purposes since the armistce-Philadel-

JAPANESE UNREST.

Japan entered into the family OF nations
so recently that il has now to make the
advances that many of these made during
the middle of the last century Then was
the period of constitutional action, when
peoples were demanding and receiving
constitutions. The japanese people are
now at the point of seeking the full con-
sciousness and expression that belongs to
free peoples In the whirl and seethe of
their domestic politics and parties, the
irritation felt toward the United States
is apt to be undnly famed. Therefore,
this country will not he disposed to take
too seriously outbursts from newspapers
and individuals in the Mikado's realm
that otherwise might be most alarming.
1t must be said for the Japanese, however,
that generally they are acting in tenn
perate spirit toward the country
While raising the cry of politics, all
other matters will be secondary, although
played up by parties. Hence Japan viii

Sfudy of the Weather.

The proposition to teach the Baltimore
pubhc school children some Of the rudi-
ments of the science Of reading the clouds
for weather tokens seems good and useful,
provided, of course, the pupils are not al
ready overloaded with branches IN add
tion to the essential three "R's." The
prurnostication cf the weather conditions
for twenty-four hours or so would be oil
considerable interest ard value To every
one. and the work has become so accurate
lv charted that il is not difficult 10 impart
the secret 10 others.
It is not alone interesting to be able to
read the secrets oi the cloud and wind, but
il serves a useful purpose. The Federal
Weather Bureau has at length brought the
Interpretation Of the skies TO workable
basis. and while there is often grumhling or
complaint that the Weather Man has made
an erroneous prediction, he Is correct
more than ninety times out OF one nun
dred. By following the reports from the
Washington bureau carefully, We find
that when he predicts rain, for example, IN
this division. which means Southern New
Jersey, the lower section Of Pennsylvania
and the Peninsula, il actually rainsin some
part of that territory, although il may miss
il right here. We must, IN fact, interpret
the weather report with not too paroehlai
a vision.
An occasional lecture or demonstration
on the secrets Of the winds and ciouos
would be well worth while, for there is no
other subject so vitality interesting 70 me

PRESS COMMENTS.
WHO sCRAPpED THE LEAGUE7

Senator Harding's most conspicuous
infirmity il strikingly illustrated by this
reference to the manner in which the
Treaty was disposed Of in the Senate.
j and others set about tn protect the
country with the best safeguarding 4
reservations we could write before We
could consent TO anything like ratification.
And .ftcrward the President scrnpped his
own League and refused TO permit the
Senate to ratify"
What ri and others" actually did il
plainly set forth in the record For months
Il and others" urged and voted for nmcnd-
meDts and reservations 10 the treaty
which they knew would make ratification
impossible and which II accepted would
lnvalidate the agreement. II and others"
loaded the covenant down in this fashion
with the knowledge that all of the no.
League Republicans who voted for the
reservations, and most OF the Democrats,
would oppose the Treaty as thus mutt,
lated.
Rejection wa. finally accomplished 40
to 30, the majority lacking seven Of the
required two-thirds. OF those favoring
ratification % were Republicans and Il
Democrats. most Of the latter yielding
To what they considered the only terms
on which the League could bc had. Df
those in opposition % were Democrats and
IL Republicans, the latter comprising the
wrecking crew with whom II and others"
co-opcrated loyalty in ripping the cove
nant. SO that il really satisfied nobody.
This js how II and Others" were defeated
by the President, who refused TO permit
the Senate 10 ratify."
There never was an honest purpose on
the part of Republican Senators to accept
the Treaty. The irreconc'lables made no
secret of their hostility, but IL and Others,
led by MIR. Lodge, arrived at the same
goal by indircction. What Il and other"
voted for WAS not the Treaty. II was
document blotted all over with cowardice
treachery and falschood. The Democrats,
who reluctantly favored il evidently be-
leved, as no Republican did, that, even
so, some good might come from it.-New

World Peace the Great Iasue.

No matter how Senator Harding may de-
vote his public delivcranccs to education,
pay of teachers, Indians, forestry, and
other subjects, about which there is no
material difference Of opinion, and in
which no grave matters Of national policy
arc involved. he will not be permitted to
evadc or qlibble over the one, great,
paramount issue Of the campaign-thc
Peace Of the World. And this object is in
separabfy involved in tho SUCCESS Of the
League Of Nations.
This week President Wilson addressed
the nation on this subject, and, as usual,
attracted wide attention by the force Of his
argument in support of the League and the
clarity of his expressions. And Governor
Cox, in a public statement which we re-
print elsewhere in this issue, also held up
the League Ct Nations as the paramount,
overwhelming issue of the campaign, and
gave unequivocaI promise Of linking our
country, with the other Christian natiors
Of the world, into full membership with
this Peace Compact. in the event OF bis
election 10 the Presidency.
Senator Harding will be compelled TO
either meet this dominating issue square
ly. or confess his hostility by further
qmbbhng or cvasion, or by open admis-
sion Of hostility Thus far, to employ
familiar smile, he has been endeavorine
to "carry water on both shoulders.
Senator johnson Of California, bitter OPP
ponent. says Harding has "scrapped the
League" Mr.. Taft and other League sup
porters say he is friendly toit.
But such An attitude will not deceive the
people. They know that he who IL not Tor
the League Of Nations is against it. And
knowing this they will know where to
place Senator Harding.

New-Married Voters.

Not . few(wemen IN this modern day,
especially those whose names have pro-
fessional value. refuse to change titles
when they marry. They will doubtless add
the avoidance of confusion in registry lists
to the arguments In favor of their stand.
But Election Commissioner Jacob Law
ingston declares that even if q woman
change her name between registration day
and election, she viii not be deprived Of
her vote.
Anv other position would of course be
untenable. Both marriage and voting are
legal, and it is the aim Of law 10 keep in
harmony throughout all its raInifcations
The fact remains, however, that as human
falhbility goes, q certain amount OF con-
fusion and perhaps here and there at least
temporary withholding of privilege is
likely to mark the period of readiustment.
1t is not alone matter of names. The
more serious item is change Of residence.
Even men are not exempt from annoy
ance and even from occasional injustice on
this account Keeping registry lists ae-
curate is q hard matter On the one hand,
it is vital to facilitate voting on the part of
citizens VINO are qualified But it is equal
" vital 10 prevent fraud. The change
within the registry period of both names
and residences of women because of mar
rage will add TO the task 1t behooyes the
new voters themselves TO aid the authori-
ties with clear statements. In some cases
they might even retain voting residence

Tvc and n Half Million Babies.

The stork has kept pace with che
American farmer and brought us bump
or crop Of babies in 1919, according TO a
survey of the maternity field for that year
II is estimated that the newcomers total
led ., SOC. 900. which is a very great adj
vance above the average.
In 26l leading American cities the stork
scored CSC, 600 times. The cheermgfeature
Of this exhaustive report shows that the
death rate among infants IN the United
Statse is lower than il has been IN the past,
a fact that is particularly emphasized for
the larger cities. where babies seem TO have
thrived better than in the smaller COM
munities, or possibly in the country.
Doubtless this showing for thelsrge centres
Of population is due to the continuous
schooling of mothers in the care and rear
ing Of infants which has been going On Tor
several yesrs.
The statistics note that Brookline,
Mass. a suburb Of Boston, is the most
healthful place for babies in this country,
as the deaths there were only 30 out OF
each 1000 while in El Paso. Texas, they
reached 245 in every eco.
The advent Of two and half million
infants into the world is the greatest item
of enrichment that it would be possible TO
chronicle. What they would be worth to the
country if their economic value could be
expressed in dollars and cents would
amaze the people cf our nation. With the
mortality reduced as it has been, We can
see almost 100000 prospective new
voters as the output Of American homes IN
1919.

Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful,
glossy silky hair, do by all means get rid
of dandrlff, for it will starve your hair
and ruin it ii you don't
1t doesn { do much good to try to brush
or wash it out. The only sure way to get

destroy it entirely. To do this. get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon
apply it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.

dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it,
You will hnd, too, that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no m latter how
much dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.
