population Of England, Scotland, Wales and

ng parallel appears in certain figures from
a recent study by Professor E. H. Ross, of
the University of Wisconsin. At least one
fourth of our present population, he calcu-
lates, is descended from the twenty thousand

Charles w. Gould, is quoted to the effect that
of the Americans Of today more than forty
million can trace their descent on both sides
to Colonial days.
1t Is this community of traditions and
fundamental faiths, this great common his

temperament it's quality and tone. Largely,
too, 1t is this that makes one immigrant sus-

The A1add;,,s of the Farm,

IT is good to see that the South, In COM
mon with other agricultural regions, is
availing herself more and more widely
OF power Of machinery for the farm. In the
course OF natural progress this step was GER
tain to come, but it has been greatly has
tened by the critical shortage OF labor.
Hundreds of farmers have been compelled
to adopt the time-cutting, muscle-saving de-
vices which modern invention has provided
or else abandon the soil In some districts
the emergency has grown almost as grave as
in England during the latter half of the
World War, when the ranks of the tillers
were reduced to point where one man was
left to do the work of five or ten. The island
seemed in peril Of famine. But a host of
tractors, equipped with giant headlights, so
that they could be operated by night as we'll
as day, were imported from America and
set to the tasks of food production. The re-
suit was series of harvests, such as the
country never reaped in the most plentiful
times Of hand labor. The cultivated acre
age was largely increased, and with it the
yield. like story is told of many parts of
the United States In the South power-driven
machinery bids fair to solve problems which
otherwise would wax overwhelming.
The services Of such machinery are not
limited to labors Of the field but extend to
all aspects of rural life-economic, dome stic
social. Whether it be the pulling up, Of
stumps, or the drawing Of water, or the
lighting Of the family reading table on a
winters night the task has it's ready Alad-
din in some motor mechanism. The trip
to market is shortened; school and church
are made far more accessible, and the visit

drudgery is lightened, and. time allowed for

GODS THUMB
By DR.. Frank Crane

At meeting in New York the other day of
the committee to choose idea for War
Memorial, one idea was suggested which
overtops all others by the boldness of it's
conception, the dignity and fitness of its
nature and by the continuous use and beauty
Of its ministry not only to this generation,
but to all ages. '
1t is the proposition to erect a War Me-
mortal upon that bold and rugged promon-
tory which lies between the Hudson River
and Broadway, and terminates south of the
Dyckman Street Ferry.
This remarkable conformation, about the
width of a city block and perhaps mile in
length, is linked with American tradition by
it's name, Fort Washington.
The poets have given it another name on
account Of it's striking shape. They call it
Gods Thumb.
The plan for utilizing this as permanent
stimulant to the ideals of the country, by
making it a public reservation, and by adorn-
ing it with the most conspicuous examples
of the art and architecture of the world, and
Of dedicating it to the soldier dead Of the
Great War;, is so UNNECESSARILY beyond any
thing else that has been proposed that it
seems almost too much to hope that there
can be found among city officials sufficient
vision, courage and concord to carry it out.
The details Of the proposed memorial
stagger the Imagination. Here on this
Thumb of solid granite thrust out into the
Hudson, furnishing natural base two hun
dred feet high, there might be clustered tenn
pies from China, Japan, Persia, Egypt and
Europe, and among them that amazing Bahat
temple designed by Bourgeois, the most
beautiful and original work of architecture of
modern times
Here would be real League of Nations,
for East and West, Past and Present would
be leagued by their most exalted, dignified
and enduring sentiment.
Upon the nail of the Thumb could be con-
structed a monument expressing the creative
genius of the worlds greatest artists.
And in this favorable environment there
might be School of Art whittier the youth
of all the world might go up.
Fortunately this land is procurable. Ma
ture herself has marked it as the logical spot
for memorial compared to which the famed
places of the past, the Acropolis at Athens,
he Forum structures at Rome, the Tai Mahal,
Saint Peters, or the Pyramids, would be
overshadowed
And not in grandiose and boastful splendor,
but in genuine majesty and beauty, setting
forth the very best and nobleS ideals of
which America Is capable.

'RETIREMENT, FOR AGE"
By H. Addington Bruce

n LII over the land are men and women
~ holding various public and semi-public
positions who know that, at a certain
time in the not distant future, they will be
automatically forced to retire to private life
because OF having reached specified age
How many Of them, I wonder, have given
any thought to the question of how they will
occupy themselves when the inevitable time
of their retirement comes?
Not few it is to be feared are reioicing
in the idea that they will then not have to
occupy themselves at ALL They look forward
won, efofrtless leisure. To this end they have
year by year been laying aside a part Of their
earnings.
One is loath to undeceive them But the
plain truth is that wholly effortless leisure
Is usually wretched leisure and is besides
leisure dangerous to the health of body and
mind alike - -
It is, in fact, a commonplace of everyday
observation that again and again former Of
ficeholders "go to pieces" as the phrase is.
soon after their retirement for age. This
even when they have seemed both mentally
and physically vigorous at the time of relin-
gushing office.
The natural assumption is that without
knowing 1t, they have worn themselves out
by devotion to duty. In a certain percent
age OF cases this assumption no doubt is
sound.
But unexpected breakdowns also come to
numbers whose public duties have never
made any particularly exacting demands on
them. Yet, freed from all work, they speed
lily collapse.
Study their histories and it will generally
be found that they devotees of the eff
fortress leisure idea. At all events, they are
people who have gone into retirement without
taking care to provide substitute for the
work which has SO long given them mental
occupation.
And, no matter how old one may be, &C.
cupatlon of some sort the mind must have if
health is to be maintained.
That is psychological truism, so vital that
none can afford to ignore it. Least Of all
can those afford to ignore it who have been
accustomed to do a definite work and to do
it with regularity
Wherefor the wise officeholder, confronted
with the certainty of ultimate retirement at
sixty or sixty-five years of age, will make it a
point to develop some special interest or in
terests outside his work.
He will cultivate hobby of some sort
music, art, literature, golf, it matters not
what-so interesting to him that he will be
when his working days are done.
Otherwise retirement is pretty sure to
mean for him boredom and discomfort, and
may further mean aches, pains, and a gen.
eral ill health seemingly inexplicable, but
actually due to inactivity against which
nature revolts.
