UTOPIA

IT IS exactly 400 years since Sir Thomas More wrote Utopia a
historical romance in which he pictured an ideal state erected On an
! imaginary island called Utopia.
And it is well at this time TO make an appraisal OF that happy
land, for the purpose of discovering to what extent Mores celebrated
dream of social, economic and political perfection has come true.
Such a survey shows Utopia has realized only on two Of its ideals,
namely; () Prohibition. (b) Incubators.
Setting an example that he hoped posterity would follow, More
would not permit wine houses or also shops to flourish in his imaginary
Utopia, while distiling was strictly prohibited there-and 400 years
before the Volstead law. --
A great deal of poultry was raised in Utopia 'by a marvellous
policy" wrote More, "for the hens do not sit upon eggs; but by
keeping them in a certain equal heat, they bring life into them and
hatch them"
This method of breeding chickens was laughed at as one of
|Moreis more humorous flights of fancy, and centuries elapsed before
More was indicated by the incubator.
Every tenth year Utopians traded houses by lot 80 that the evil
of house hunting was eliminated in their land. Fashion was UNI
known, for garments were made of one pattern, and thus did More
lido away with one of the causes as well as the effects Of vanity and its
attending evils.
Since More's time many reformers and social and economic ideal.
lists have set sail for Utopia for the purpose of improving and enlarg-
ing il. Practcug, if not practical, idealists, have attempted to import
Utopia and establish il in their own lands; and Russia is a sample of
what may happen when an attempt, is made TO fit idealstic Utopian
theory to realistic human nature.
Four centuries more of plugging along may bring two or more
additional conditions Sir Thomas pictured for his ideal state. But
the last four centuries prove pretty conclusively that Utopian condi
Itions cannot be created and maintained under forced draft,

EXIT. THE FREAKS

nIME MUSEUM freaks have had their day and must exit from the
show business. This is the verdict of the American association of
= fairs and expositions which declares exclusively for refined
sketches. comedies and uplifting movies"
The dime museum freak has not lost its lure among the public.
Nor have the showmen been converted to the upiift. The real situa-
ton which prompts the ban on freaks is that freaks yearly are becom-
ing scarcer. Fewer births tend away from normally.
Recall your youth and the marvels of the sideshow when ''thc
greatest show on earth" came to town. For days after people talked
exctedly Of the Sismese Twins, the Rubber Skin Man, Zip the What
iHt, the Human Pincushion, Leo the LionHeaded Boy and the White
Elephant which was exposed when rain during a circus parade re-
moved the elephants whitewash.
Greatest Of the freaks-greatest in the sense Of dime-sdmissions
raked in from the gulible-was the Cardiff Giant, IL feet tall, ex-
hibited as a petrihed, prehistoric man dug up in 1869 on farm near

In tho first place, there is nothing

II was inevitable that the processes

among all who seek to study these
problems apart from immediate self
interest. The regrcttable thing is
that, an commodity and security prices

value in the boom period, so they
are today falling TO points far below
their real value. necessary liquida-
ton Is proceeding after the mannor
anticipated, on the whole, but there
are yet several steps to be taken.
Perhaps the moot important Of
these is for retail merchants to realize
that they too must meet the inevitable

to meet the new conditions. Only in
that manner can the situation be stab
llized and frozen credits thawed out.

MATERNITY BILL

L(TvERY EFFORT of the lobbying committee of the league of
women voters at this session of congress will be bent toward
- getting the Sheppard-Towner bill passed"
This is how Mrs. Maud Wood Park, chairman of the national
league of women voters, expresses her opinion of the Importance of
the measure popularity known as the maternity bill. The aim of this
bill is TO give medical protection to thousands Of mothers and children,
especially those located in rural or isolated districts, who cannot
otherwise secure il.
But to give immediate protection, congress must pass the bill this
year. If Il is not passed before January, 1921, a great majority of
these mothers and babies will continue without aid for two more
years. This is because the legislatures Of more than half the states
in the union hold sessions in January, 1921, and not again unit. 1928.
In order to gain the benefits provided by the Sheppard-Towner BILL
each state must appropriate an amount Of money equal to that ex-
tended by the federal government. If the bill is passed after a state
legislature has adjourned for two years, the mothers and children of
that state must be deprived of aid until the legislature is able to make
its appropriation at the next session.
Everyone who is anxious to lend his influence to the passage of
this bill, should write to his congressman at once.

PEDAGoG MOVIES

IN THE educational field lies the greatest future OF the movies.
Students Of the silent drama believe that a standard of entertain
ment has been reached tnat can hardly be excelled, But in schools,
clubs, social centers, and churches, the ground has scarcely been
touched.
Dr.. Ellis Oberholtzer, a chief in the Pennsylvania state bureau Of
censors, is free to admit that the greatest possibilities lie ahead of the
movie in educational work. It is his business to watch the miles of
film traipse past him day in and day out, as a censor, and of an exper-
fence born Of years he thinks that the educator film is the one that
is bound to grow and boom, carrying pictorial wisdom around the
earth, and information, that, from the very method of it, is sure to

A weeping child lay hapless and forlorn.
A stocking by her side
Whose unfed mouth grinned wide
And Knocked the grief Of childish faith denied.
They tell me this is but an artists dream,
Only a panterIpoet's touching theme,
A bit of cunning art,
P~igmented part by part
To choke my throat and clutch me by the heart.
