London Is the greatest fiddle marker
in the world, and it is said that there
are more Cremona violins and vioiins

Germany in that city than in any other

sales OF vi0lins are famous throughout
Europe. Eatire collections of fine vio-

A CENSUS IN 1926

Secretary Hoover presents IN
his annual report good arguments
in favor OF not waiting until 1880
10 take the next census, but IN
stead gathering population figures
within a few years as a substitute
for those collected last year.
which reflected abnormal condi-
tons. Mr.. Hoover suggests that
the enumeration might be made
in 1925, and it is interesting to
learn that the house census COM
mittee is considering legislation
having that in mind.
When the people OF I h e
United States were counted in
January, 1920, the manufacturing
industries were in full blast,
wages were high, and prosperity
was widespread. The cities were
thronged with country folk. who
had left the farms temporarily 10
accept the attractive jobs that
were 10 be had in the urban COM
munities. Since then there has
been movement in the opposite
direction. Business has slowed
down, factories have suspended
operations. wages have been cut,
men thrown out OF employment,
nd the persons belonging 10 the
ural regions have returned 10 the
arms and hamlets. The census
cures Of last wear. therefore. do
lot represent present conditions.
lr. Hoover says the shifting OF
opulation from the country to the
ity. which the 1920 enumeration
bowed. affected the totals OF GER
ain states and influenced the APP
crtionment OF representatives in
.ongrcsS. In the interest of ac-
uracy new count IS desirable.
The question arises if it would
cot be well 10 make the federal
cnsus regularly a quinqucnnial
nstead OF decennial affair.
Conditions change SO rapidly that
much OF the information OF the
census is stale and more or less
useless long before the l0-year
period between enumeration has
expired.

TIE NEW PEACE DOLLARS

In 4 few days the United
States mint will begin turning out
silver dollars Of new design, the
first novelty of the kind in many
wears. They have already re
ceived the popular name OF peace
dollars" owing to the original
design, which showed an eagle,
an olive branch and broken
sword. The latter feature was the
cause of considerable unfavorable
criticism. 1t IS charged that a
broken sword is 4 symbol OF de
feat. surrender or dishonor.
There are those who say that
America has sheathed her sword
and is advocating agreements
that may make it unnecessary
ever to draw the weapon again
from the scabbard, but that she
has not broken her sword. which
has served her so we'll in the past.
A vanquished foe tenders has
broken sword in token of submis-
sion, This is not always the case,
of course. Gen. Robert Z. Lee
rendered his sword to General
Grant but did not break it, and
the Union Commander promptly
handed it back TO the Southern
chief. Many similar historical
events have been recorded.
The designer. Anthony de
Francisco. SAYS the severed sword
is n weapon of defense, but not of
offense. above the sword. from
which the point has been broken,
stands the American eagle. and
surely the eagle can never be used
to represent defeat"
Owing to the criticism. the
broken sword has been omitted
from the design. Probably this
is wise. although few persons
would have carried their objec-
lions to the point of refusing to
accept the dollars. That is not
the regular way.

The street entrances to the baths

RETrER BOOKS IN DEMAND

The information disclosed by a
bookseller as TO the kind OF books
which were most in demand for
Christmas presents will be graft
fying to all who desire to see good
taste cultivated in popular litera-
ture. 1t is stated that the best
sellers are not trashy novels of the
type which formerly led in sales
and that the beautifully bound
and printed but rather empty
gift books" which once were
popular are not wanted now Gus
toners instead are calling for
thoughtful fiction of the better
sort, for works on travel. and es-
pecially for books dealing with
history and biography.
Less attention is being given
20 binding and more TO content.
Several reasons are advanced for
the change. One is that books
cost SO much more now than they
used to that people no longer feel
ashamed to choose them for
Christmas gifts. A few years
ago, the bookseller states. when
it was possible to buy a book for
about a dollar. there were those
who feared they would be con-
sidered niggardly il they spent no
more than that on a present
therefore, they demanded the eX-
pensivc leather-bound "gif I
books" But now that a novel
costs So and non-hction as a rule
two or three times that much,
there is no longer that feeling
Non-hction is selling rs well as
novels. This may be attributed TO
the fact that the war and the sue
ceeding events have broadened
the average Americans outlook
on life and the world; at least.
that accounts in some degree for
the demand for books treatingaof
general history and the lives OF
statesmen.
Whatever the causes are for the
improvement of popular literary
taste. it is to be heartily wei
coined.
