"THIS VULGAR COUNTRY"

Ones first impulse on reading that
the grandson of 4 distinguished Am

THE contemplate snob." And after
a calm dispassionate inquiry into the
subject, and a studied effort TO de.
terInine in what particulars America
is vulgar and Europe is not vulgar,
one finds the original impulse re-
curing.
One of the commonest statements
made IN connection with the charge
that Americans are vulgar is that
they are greatly concerned with the
pursuit Of "the almighty dollar" Now
let us consider the Europeans who
ing the most polish-that gloss
not TO be acquired in this vulgar
country" First there are those who
occupy a supposedly superior status
in the matter of birth and breeding
the aristocrats of nobility. Are the
princes, dukes and belted knights
Indifferent to our vulgar dollars?
Not so that you could notice 1t. 1t
is notorious that from royalty down

let US consider another class of pol

most in the field of intellect, the

musicians. Do they think it vulgar

your eye over list of the lecturers
who have been here during the last
year, and note the number of Euro

inferior to none in this respect. We
may lack, perhaps, some OF that
courtliness and superficial elegance
fcr which certain European nations
are noted; but we do not lack the

UNIFORM RULES
FOR II. 5. PILOTS
Have Been Established by the Air Serv-
ice-Some of the Instructions
May Seem Humorous 20
Years Hence.

Washington, d, c., Jan. lo.--The air
service Of the United States army has
formulated uniform rules OF flying for
| the guidance of its pilots, which no
doubt will be the basis of all regula-
tions adopted in the future when fly
ing becomes as common as automo-
billing.
Some of the precautions prescribed
now probably will seem as humorous
| in that time to come as the specula-
tions and fears concerning motor cars
20 years ago seem to the present gen
Grafton.
The uniform rules, which supersede
carrying rules made by different com.
manders during the war, are one step
| toward Standardization of all flying
fields. They are divided into four parts,
applicable to hangers, machines, the
ground and the air. Some of the more
interesting follow;
INSTRUCTORS and students in flying
will not wear a long coat, or loose
clothing that might become entangled
in the controls, nor will loose articles,
such as waste or rags, that might jam
the controls, be left in the machine.
"Ambulances to be on flying field
during all flying hours with surgeon
and necessary medical detail in at
tendance.
do not taxi closer than 100 feet
to another ship unless mechanic has
hold of wings.
ut is advisable to carry a good
pair of cutting pliers in position
where both passengers and pilot can
reach them in case of an accident.
"A fire extinguisher viii be carried
on each machine.
Riding ON steps, wings or tails OF a
machine is forbidden.
In case engine fails on take-of,
land straight ahead, regardless of OBJ
staeles
Rules about right of way are for
guidance only. Collisions are always
avoidable. There is no right Of way.
Every pilot must be awake at all times
and prevent his machine from getting
dangerously near another machine.
Machines approaching head-on pass
to the right at an interval Of at least
200 yards.
III you see another machine, get out
Of its way. DO not depend upon the
other pilot having seen You.
"No vertical banks, steep climbing or
looming viii be done under 800 feet.
"All acrobacy. such as loops, wing
overs, Fights, rolls. half-rolls and spins
must be completed at not less than
/ 500 feet.

without sufficient altitude to reach a
landing place

ITALY'S POPULATION
rs GREATER THAN
BEFORE THE VAR
Because of the Restoration of Italian
Territory and the High Birth
Rate.

Rome, Jan. l9.--ltaly has emerged
from the war with greater population
than she had before, though with q
considerably lessened number Of men.
This is due to the addition of 2,000,-
900 BY the restoration Of Italian ter
ritory heretofore under Austrian rule
and to the high birth rate which, 1t ~
estimated, kept the population mp TO
its normal of 36,000,000, despite the
loss Of 100000 by war.
The trend of the population toward
the cities is greater, but perhaps not
greater than in other European coun-
tries. Munition works and war indus
tries of all sorts attracted labor which
shows no disposition to return to the
farms and villages. Many families
which became rich during the war have
moved to the important cities and are
spending their money lavishly for lux
uries. One newly rich family in Rome
hung an entire apartment, including
the servants quarters with elaborate
tapestries and purchased seven pianos.
The population of Milan has grown
from 100000, in 1914 to 100000. Genoa
has increased from 100000 to 100000.
Naples had 66S,000 at the opening Of
the war and now has 100000, Venice
was in danger during so much OF the
fighting that it was deserted temporari-
" by much of its population and is no
larger now than it was before the
struggle began. Florence grew but lit.
tie during the war and was less al
fected by the world crisis than any
other large Italian city.
laramie and Spezin, the two great
Italian naval bases, have developed
markedly. laramie had about 10000 in
habitants in 1914 and it now has $780,
900. All the allied fleets center there
and its shipyards, arsenals and naval
supply works have been greatly in
creased. Ten years ago Spezia had
only 1000 or 5000 inhabitants. II is
now city of 100000.
Terni, an industrial city, located 60
miles from Rome, has grown in 10
years from a city of $500 inhabitants
to 5000. II has greater waterpower
than any other industrial city in Italy.
