MAKING TOWNS FIT TO LIVE IN.

gFicultural base in the surreunding country, as any other town does after fashion. Then the problem to be worked out would be the economic bal anee between local supplies, which save in transuertatien, and such im- porter supplies as might save in other ways. The selling of Oregon aples in New York, for instance, is gross econ omic waste, and eggs are better when produced nearby and not stored long, This sample town could establish the minimum number required for civilized living somewhat in this way.
 "A good kindergarten and school ought to have twenty children at least properly to use two first-elass teachers to keep up that average number of children requires about two hundred women, since about ten women are re- auired to supply one child a year. Two hundred familys means about a thou- sand persons, a good number to base our calculations upon; and two hun dred houses, grouped about their nec- essary public buildings form a very pleasant village.
 What civic activities are necessary to such group? By this do not mean merely governmental activities, which would require only room in the com munity building and one or two off cials but school, church, store, post office, smithy and garage, hall for pub | lie meetings, club-rooms, library, and | all such social advantages. One cen- tral building economical but beautiful could house many of these. All should I be grouped conveniently about plea sant little park.
 "Fhe economic problem to be work ed out is something like this: How few persons out of our four hundred adults are sufficient to do work not immediatly productive, as cooking teaching, preaching, keeping the store
 and the library? How much must be
 earned by those who produce raw mat erials or manufactured articles for sale in order to support the whole group
 At how little expense can heat water light and service be provided to such | a group?
 "A single plant, as in a great un,
 iversitg, should burn all the coal with, l out waste, and supply heat to the ,hous. es as well as community buildings. Tn, | company store is often a cruel i'm.
 position in industrial towns; this on, should be kept for the purpose of SC
 tablishing how eheaply goods can b,
 supplied to the consumer, with fai
 wages to all concerned.
 Tt is probable that a purely agri
 cultural neighborhood could not sup
 port WeH-Suppl1ed village Wlthou
 some local industry to occupy labe
 in the winter and add to the incom ] of the place. To establish this poin ! would be valuable.
 If we show that such and such ad l vantages are necessary to normal cit l izenship in order that children ma grow up in full development: that sue
 a sized group, and such a propertie : of these advantages; then cur <weme ? are going to select such towns to liv in, or devote their energies to the i'm
 provement of the towns, where they 3 live along these lines"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

. s- Picks Ca<penHer to Win.
 Mir. Editor: Dempsey is recorded in the almanac and year book for 1921 of the Chicago Daily News as having fought five times. winning each time. These five battles were won in a total of 2s rounds, giving Dempsey an average of 4.e rounds.
 Carpenter, in the same publication, is accredited With hut three fights. in each of which i z won. The combined number of rounds flushf in them was II, giving as CaFpentier's average 5.ee rounds. This fact may point nm as the logical winner.
 Under these figures, if Dempsey wins there should be less than five rounds; if Carpenter wins. less than three rounds. Having in view the age advantage in faver of Dempsey, l pick out Carpenter as the victor in six rounds or less. GEORGE l. HOWARD

ROOTS PROGRAM
GAINS POPULARITY

significance of the American "four
points" proposed by Elihu Root and
adopted by the arms conference to
guide its discussions relating to
China, is coming to be better der
stood as the Far Eastern negotiations
pass through the "accepted-in- -princi-
pie" stage and approach decisions on
specific subjects.
At first regarded as largely reit-
Grafton of general principles which
had long been sanctioned on paper
by all the powers, the -four points"
now have, in fact, become the founda-
ton on which China's friends in the
conference hope to erect system of
reforms that will in many respects
reverse completely the practices of the
past and present.
In this far reaching development
the American, delegation has taken
the leadership by making known in a
decisive manner that it regards the
Root resolution as something vastly
more than few finely turned diplo-
matte phrases. The American position
is that in accepting the "four
points" the participating nations have
bound themselves solemnly to apply
in concrete way the long professcd
principles of fair dealing toward
China and to proceed without subter-
fuge to give China as great a degree
Of indeper ience as conditions will
warrant.
Powerful support from outside the
American delegation has strengthen
ed that position and in the present
discussion of tariff autonomy, ex-
traterritorial and postal rights the
trend of the negotiations. never has
been permitted to stray far from the
Root platform. In every case pro
posed solutions have been scrutinized
in the light of appropriate sections of
the "four points" with the result that
the four American principles have
become, in fact, as we'll as in name
the dominating element of the discus
sions.
How this method of procedure will
affect such troublesome problems as
Shantung, Manchuria and the "21 de-
mands" if they come before the con-
ference is yet to be demonstrated. 1t
fis-pointed out that Root sprinsiples
were cast in broad terms in their ref
erence to Chinese integrity, the open
door and special privileges, but no
one who can speak authoritatively has
been willing to volunteer as anter-
probation of these references as they
apply to specific questions not yet be-
fore the conference.
With the questions of extraterri-
torial and postal rights to be disposed
of tomorrow through specific declara-
tions now in preparation by subcom-
mittees, there was an expectation in
some quarters tonight that the sub
ject of leases, including those held by
Japan in Shantung and Manchuria,
might be brought up for discussion in
the very near future. China's dele
gates have declared their intention to
bring the Shantung and Manchurian
problems to the attention of the con-
ference as soon as occasion offered
and Japan has indicated repeatedly
that she does not regard these sub
jects as within the province of the
negotiations. The attitude of the 9TH
er nations has not been defined, but it
is expected that some feature of the
"four points" will be brought forward
to guide in decision.
