up State"
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The editorial which appears in
this mornings issue under the heading
"Up State" leads me to offer q word
on the subject. Possibly "The Buffalo
Express" is not 80 far wrong when it
speaks of this city's need of the help
OF the communities which it is wont
to refer to contemptuously as up
state.'"
To one coming from cup state" it
seems that New York-bred people too
often display a certain antipathy to-
ward those living twenty miles or more
above the city and refer to them some
what contemptuously as farmers and
hicks" regardless Of whether they
come from country or city have
even heard it said by some that they
were not accorded the best of treat
ment while spending their vacations in
the country, and to one who has lived
in various sections Of the state, both
on the farm and in the city, this seems
like an unjust accusation Of inhospi-
tality.
1t is safe to venture that over rs
per cent of this city's milk supply
comes from New York State, and the
recent strike and unpleasantness to
which New Workers were subjected in
not having milk are just one example of
what suffering could result were it not
for the "hicks and farmers" up state.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Justice Davies is to be highly
commended for sending to the District
Attorney the receipted bills for repairs
which were sworn to by landlord in
a certain rent case and which are al
legged to have been forged. There are
too many Of these padded expense bills
in rent cases, both by landlords and
by their renting agents.
Another abuse is that of landlords
falsely swearing that they want apart
ments for their own use when what
is wanted is increased rent.
The above practices injure the
square-deal landlord, as municipal
court justices are commencing to ques-
tion the statements OF all landlords.
What is wanted is for all municipal
court justices to send the papers in
all such cases to the District Attorney.

at hand, and has often been sug-
gested. From the initial letters Of
the title United States of North
America" comes the not unattractive
word "Usona," from which with the
insertion of euphonic 81" the ad-
jective "Usonian" is formed. Leaving
United States as the accepted name Of
the country, we can readily learn to
speak of ourselves as Usonians, and no
term could be easier for the peoples of
other lands to learn and remember. 1t
also affords no difficulties in pronuncia-
ton for any racial group.

A. |. c. P. Christmas Stockings
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May we again announce to your
readers the Christmas Red Stocking
Campaign, as planned by the nurses
and visitors of the New York Associa-
tion for Improving the Condition of the
Poor?
Briefly, the plan is this: The A. l.
c. P. will send to any one by mail one
or more of these red stockings, and
attached to each will be the first name
and age of the boy or girl to whom
it is eventually to go. People sending
for the stockings may specify either
boys or girls, and also ages. When
filled these stockings may be returned
to the associations Offices by parcel
post or messenger. The association will
send for them If absolutely necessary.
Once these stockings are returned
to the A. /. C. p. Offices, the visitors
and nurses of the association will see
that they are all delivered before
Christmas to the children for whom
they are filled. These children are the
boys and girls of widows and of sick
or disabled parents who are under this
care of the A. /. c. p. nurses and
visitors; that is, they are all known
to them individually. They are anxious
that no one of these children be for
gotten or neglected at the Christmas
season, and this means that they are
hoping that at least 5000 stockings
will be sent for and returned ready
for distribution.
Any who wish to help in this special
Christmas work should write to the
A. I. C. p, 1o5 East Twenty
Street, or telephone Gramercy 704o,

States and Railroads
Local Considerations That Weigh
Against Standardization

Against Standardization
To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: notice in a recent Issue an
editorial urging the defeat of bill
before Congress to restore in a meas
ure to the different state commissions
authority to regulate railroads and
their rates. This is all very we'll from
the stockholders point Of view and that
Of the management, but there Is an
other important viewpoint.
Most Of the roads have been built up
from smaller roads. which at one time
or another have received, from the diff
ferent states and subdivisions In
which they operate, privileges, conces-
sions and frequ o1tly financial aid,
some Of v.lich is Jet in the course Of
payment. The succeeding roads have
acquired all Of these privileges and
considerations, with which should go
corresponding responsibilities to those
from which these considerations came.
To attempt to standardize the con-
ditions under which railroads operate
in all sections of the country is ss fu-
tile as to attempt to standardize the
topography or the products of the diff
ferent sections. Our national history
shows that in strenuous times the
people rally to support strong cen
tral government for the common good,
but when these extraordinary times
pass they revert to the conditions
which existed previously.
All well informed people realize
that the wellbeing of the railroads is
essential to the prosperity of the sec
tion in which they operate, but the
conditions are so different that local
conditions should receive the most
careful consideration.

An Elusive Opinion
(Front The ToIedo BInde1

Always there is more or less talk
about the majority of the people being
for this or for that. 1t is never easy
to guess what g majority of the people
are for. Sometimes an election will
disclose what most of those who vote
are for, but in many elections enough
voters stay away from the polls to
sEing the pendulum of public opinion.

xrsrsrR or THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Harvest

Despite the vast volume or printed
matter published there does not yet
seem adequate appreciation, even in
America, of what has been accom-
plished at Washington since No
vember IL. We are 100 near a big
thing to see it in its true grandeur.
What do we have-what great
Christmas present to mankind is re-
ceiving its finishing touches?
First we have the fact that for the
first time in human history there is
concerted abatement of arma-
ment. Weaponing is an age-old
practice. It always has been on an
ascending scale, never on a descend
ing one. There is brought from the
skies dream which the skeptics of
all times have always held, as long
as nations endured, could not be
realized. With the principle of
concert recognized, then under the
law of growth there can be further
developments of it until, perhaps, all
nations will deem it safe to go un-
armed.
Second, by the application of the
simple principle that in the Far
East equal participation in a COM
mon estate is of more value than
any possible gains from separate
possession of particular privileges,
what is called the Pacific problem
is on the verge of solution. We may
be sure that the delegates of the va
rious nations would not deem it worth
while to ask their respective gov
ernments for authority to sign
specified agreements unless private
assurances had been received that
they were acceptable. Again the law
of growth is given a chance to
function. If future disharmonies
arise they will bring other confer
ences-not only to consider the
question of one ocean, but of all.
But with two things done there
remains another thing to be done.
The nations which are parties to
the Washington concord will have
need to consult together con-
cerning interpretations and pos
sible amendments and modifica-
tons. The natural method will
be by the holding Of future
conferences. President Harding,
with his direct and simple mind,
sees that future conferences are the
corollary of the present one, and
hence his suggestion to adjourn,
not indefinitely, but perhaps to a
specified date. And 10! an associa-
ton of nations will be in being.
One of Mr. Wilson's great mistakes
was that he was poor psychologist.
He did not understand men. Ee
tried to systematize and institution
alize spirit not yet mature enough
to be given written form. He
wanted document when the first
need was for spirit.
Under the consummate leader
ship of President Harding and Secrc-
tary Hughes the great work has
been done easily. This shows that
world opinion was ready for the
forward step. Those who have
sought to spread belief that the
war-winning nations were false to
the great cause in whose name
they fought the war are very mar
row. 1t has not been true that the
nations made world trustees by
i events have pursued imperialistic
and selfish ends as their main policy.
1t is time to put this slander in the
grave where it belongs. The Wash
ington conference will wear a shin
ing wreath Of glory if it makes it
plain to all that this malignant,
suspicion-breeding doctrine is dead.

whats in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history; mean
ing; whence IL was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky Jewel.
LENORE.

JADE famous In this country by
1Nl Poe, Lenore is In reality the Span
ish transformation of one of the most
ancient of feminine names-Helen.
Its original root was "Helios," the
Greek sun-god who drove his heaven
ly chariot around the heavenly vault
day by day, the name signifying light
and brightness.
Every language, practically, has
brought Its distinguishing mark to
the original name, and Lenore Is one
of the most beautiful and musical
Of the derivatives. In Italy, Leonora
Is one of the forms, Eleanor In Eng
land, Eileen in Ireland, and so on.
The original Spanish derivative
was Lemore, In which the ''n" grad
ually displaced the "m."
The Jewel assigned to bearers OF
this name is the 6eaGssso. yellow
jacinth--a stone formerly carried by
travellers to insure them against &C.
cident and disease. A fantasy asso-
ciated with this gem is that 1t warns
its wearer Of approaching danger by
growing pale in color and 1t also Is
supposed TO guarantee protection
from lightning. The lucky day of
Lenore Is Sunday and 9 Is her lucky
number. To dream of her natal stone,
the yellow jaeinth, Is interpreted to
mean success In any undertaking she
may be interested in at the time.

CONTROL GRAPEVINE ..0oPER
tive to Garden and Arbor Grapes
XIII BY Spraying.

The grapevine looper, green worm
about an inch and half long, some
times destructive to garden and arbor
grapes and to Virginia creeper, has
been found by United States Depart
ment of Agriculture observers doing
some damage to vineyards In the
Chautauqua belt along Lake Erie. The
worm ordinarily feeds from early In
June until the middle of July.
1t may be killed by spraying. A
solution of ia pounds of powdered
arsenate of lead TO 80 gallons Of
liquid has been found effective. The
poison may be used In water or may
be combined with bordeaux mixture
used to control fungous disease. A
spray application directed primarily
against the grapevine rootworm and
the grape-berry moth, Immediately
after the blossoms fall, incidentally
controls the grapevine looper.

glance on Dan, who was swaying with
Impotence waiting for her answer.
"The sky is SO beautiful and blue to-
day." she said. II cannot think about
anything else; perhaps tomorrow

So poor Dan had to be content and
wait until the morrow, but when the
sun rose the next morning and Dan
asked Miss Daisy for her answer she
replied that the sun was so bright and
warm she could think of nothing else.
But" she said, perhaps tomorrow
l shall be able to think about your pro-
posal and give you your answer"
So Dandelion sat all day with his
face bright and happy because he felt
sure the morrow would certainly bring
rain and then Miss Daisy would have
time to think about him.

The local leader Of the club is a

Peru Most Favored Land.

According to accounts Peru Is one
Of favored lands that could furnish
almost any commodity that springs
from the earth. Are you looking for
the products of the deserts of Arabia,
the valleys Of the Antilles, of tropical
Africa. the slopes of Italy, the ridges
of Norway, the plains of central
Europe, you will find them all In that
country Tapped by the waters of the
Pacific. The cause of the unusual
variety is that the country is wooed by
the trade winds and guarded by a
chain of mountains that bring about
favorable atmospheric conditions.
