Moving Farm to Market.

Within a hundred miles Of New
York there is a steadily increasing
demand for farms. This Is especially
true of the vicinity Of Philadelphia.
In Salem and Cumberland counties,
over on the Jersey side of the Della
ware, the number Of persons seeking
farms is greater than it has been at
this season for long time.
These farm buyers fall into two
classes--those who are looking for
small farms and those who are look
ing for large ones. The seekers for
small farms are to great extent
thrifty workmen who saved money
in the high wage earning days of the
war, who in many instances are now
idle or working on fart time only.
and who are putting their savings
into houses surrounded by few pro-
ductive acres instead OF spending
them for high. city rents and the
high cost OF city living. Instead of
remaining urban fioaters they are
seeking to become rural fixtures with
their own roofs over their heads and
their own land under their feet. They
are selecting homes near enough to
industrial centres to make 1t possible
for thom to work there when occa-
sion offers and still maintain their
families In the wholesome surround
ings of the farm home.
All this is readily enough under
standable, but the motives impelling
the large farm purchasers are more
complex. Many of the recent buyers
of large New Jersey farms are from
the West and the South. Many of
them are fruit growers. They intend
20 raise fruit and other crops close

Watch the Demon Star.
Winking AlgOl Is Now Sparkling
Nightly Near the Zenith.

To THE New York HERALD: The So
called demon star, Algol, In the constel-
lation OF Perseus Is sparkling at pres
p. Must eastward from the frma-
mental zenith. Algol is situated at the
extreme western part OF Perseus. a con-
stellation resembling somewhat the let
ter X, and possessing six noticeable
suns, OF which the brightest Is Mirfak
Algol is the second brightest sun in
Perseus normally, but It varies IN brill
lance every two and one-half days from
star OF second magnitude to one hav-
ing about one-sixth Of It's former h~ss:,,ssII-
nsss. This loss of light occupies only
about four and one-half hours, after
which Algol soon returns to star of
second magnitude, the total length Of
its variation approximatins nine hours.
Algol Is known as a variable star. It is
the type of certain variableE. and its loss
Of light is caused by another body with
which it Is associated behind which body
Algol is at times almost hidden during
its revolution.
Algol Of the constellation Perseus Is
certainly well worthy Of our firmamen-
tai observation: IL there Is difficulty In
finding 1t one should remember that 1t
Is probebly eclipsed and should search
for 1t again on the next moonless, cloud

None Is Pure but Enright!

The Annual Report Of the Police

be called an Annual Attack on Al
most Everybody.
Commissioner ESKICHT begins the
fat volume with an assault on his
predecessors in office. Every posi-
BILE fad and fancy" he says. was

THUR WOODS, the best Police Commits
sioner New York has seen in a gen.
Grafton, was an amateur!
Next comes abuse of grand Jury.
It's offence against ENRIGHr the
Great was that It went, with the
proper subpenas. and took docu-
ments from Police Headquarters. ut
wantonly gutted the flles!" means
ENRIGHT. He adds that this was "a
crime against society" He descI ibes
the grand jury as "the Twentieth
Century Iineal descendant Of the
Star Chamber and the InquisitiOn."
The laws are wrong. the judges
are wrong, the jails are wrong, says
ENRrGHT. Criminals sometimes get
out before their full term is up. "The
prime responsibility for this" says
ENRyGKT, RESTS with the statutes
permitting Judges to give indeter-
inmate sentences" In Jail the Grim
inal gets "coddling and pamperjng."
The courts are guilty Of ill advised
clemency" and "the whole fabric Of
criminal Jurisprudence is in a fair
way to become a laughing stock to
the lawbreaker."
OF course Mr.. ENRIGHT fires at the
newspapers. They are hostile; {;
they are Sinister; they utter "un-
scrupulous falsehoods, hoaxes and
canards." Newspaper writer's have
"effervescing and over-stimulated
craniums.'' And SO the dreary stuff
goes On interminably.

Pittsburgh's Longest Night.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
gloomy weather OF Thanksgiving Day
recalls the long. long night Of Thanks
giving Day. 1918. in Pittsburgh.
Due to a peculiar atmospheric condi-
tion. together with heavy fog and
smoke, day could not be distinguished
from night. and Pittsburgh had to use
artificial light. At noon all street lights
wsre IN full operation. street cars were
lighted and the advertising signs along
Fifth avenue and Smlthfeld street shone
In their nightly brilliance
In the afternoon was the big football
game at Forbes Field between Pennsyl-
vania state and Pittsburgh. 1t was so
Clark that searchiights were played on
the gridiron and hundreds burned news
papers in the stands. making 1t a weird
spectacle. Pittsburgh won the game,

It was widely thought, before the
Washington Conference began it's
work, that If the Conference came
TO an impasse it would be Japan that
would be the stumbling block in
reaching an agreement on the limi-
tation of armaments and on the set
tlement of the Far Eastern problem,
which are the outstanding aims OF
the Conference.
But thus far whatever clouds have
appeared in a generally clear sky
have come not from the Orient but
from the Occident.
1t is less than seventy years since
Japan began to attract world atten-
tion as a coming people. Her ad'
vancement in the ways OF Western
civilization has been magical. To.
day she is one of the great Powers,
with the ambition Of youth and the
vision which spells expansion.
But in spite Of all this japan is
showing readiness for cooperation
with England and America, bigness
Of spirit which already justifles the
prediction that in the ultimate
achievements OF the Conference she
will be found marching in full step
in the front rank with the nations
striving for the elimination of wars
and for international amity and good
Fellowship.
