AND NOW THE HOUSING
 MONEY-LEfNDERS
(From the New York worId)

(From the New York World)
 Passing swiftly from demonstrat- ed reign of fire-insurance extortion in the city, the Lockwood Committee on Housing yesterday dropped into the field of money-lending on building operations and before the days ses- sion was over had uncovered an area of usurious eXactions even more op- pressive against the industry.
 It appeared from the searching ex- animation of witnesses by Samuel Unternayer that usury is a mild term to apply to the practices of many money-Ienders on land and building security. ShyIock would appear as a model of moderation in the compari- son. Building borrowers compelled to take their money in depreciated Liberty bonds at par or in other prop erty which they did not want and could not realize or save at loss, subjected to high interest rates and commissions, bonuses or discounts ranging from 8 to 10 per cent addi- tionaI-cases of this kind were quickly developed and in numbers promising to make them the rule rather than the exception.
 Through how many distinct ele- ments of cost in building construction and maintenance the Lockwood in quiry has now extended we cannot at the moment count up, so great is the number. But has one of them, from the various classes of labor involved to the numerous classes of trade in material and supplies and other neces- saries of the industry, so far failed to reveal organized or prevalent ex- tortion and gouging and profiteering and all manner of monopo1istic op- precision?
 That building and housing in this town should have fallen so far short of its normal needs has been the subject of much popular discussion But in the light of these disclosures the marvel is that there should have been any building at all

dancers in the East Room of the White House to the strains of '-The Blue Danube" We have had some Presidents who couldn't have done that, and others that wouldn't, but we also have had several who could and on occasion did trip a toe more or less light and even the first of them all, whom nobody ever charged with lack of dignity he joined in the stately minuet of his day. He did 1t frequently. to judge by the number of old ladies who, not so many years ago, treasured among the memories of their girlhood that of once having had George Washington for a part ner in the dance.
 President Taft did not hesitate thus now and then to seek relaxation from the cares of State, and if of him, too anybody said, as some probably did that he had enough of more import ant work to keep him busy and utfI- ize all his energies, that only proved the possession of a soured spirit and little knowledge as to how energies are best preserved and made effec- tive.
 That '-The Blue Danube" was the tune to which President Harding did his waltzing may recall to the seekers for double meanings in words the very considerable bIueness now pre- Vailing along that river, and they may regard the band leaders choice as in congruously suggestive. Nothing, however. could make lugubrious the associations of that air-it has been played at too many festive gatherings or youth and beauty for that.
 It is well that we have a Presi dent who knows that his dignity does not require the constant maintenance or solemn1ty and a long face, and President Harding has been wise so soon to impress upon the whole conn try, as he has. that he is distinctly human" and not afraid of showing it.

A PLEA FOR EASTERN FARMING

In a statement issued by Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace to the Eastern States Magazine, the off cia1 organ of the Eastern States Az ricultural and Industrial League, and appearing in the current issue of that ma agazine, MT. Wallance urges Eastern | industrial, commercial and mercan-
 tile interests to get back of the agrt
 cultural activities of the Eastern States In his statement MT. Wallace also comments the efforts of the Eastern States League toward strengthening and stabilizing Eastern agriculture.
 MT. Wauace's statement says: "I am glad of the opportunity to ex- press my very deep interest in the work of the Eastern States League. Eastern agriculture has the opportun- ity of regaining, in large measure, what it lost half a century ago when the prairies came under the blow and flooded the Eastern markets with as- ricultural products. The grasping of this opportunity will bring a large measure of profit and stability to Eastern agriculture, not only, but to manufacturing and commercial inter- ests as well. High freight rates give Eastern farmers an advantage over the great agricultural regions of the West in supplying food stuffs and raw materials to the great centers of population along the Atlantic sea board. It follows, therefore, that in dustria1 and mercantile interests should give all the assistance they can toward enabling Eastern farmers to take advantage of the present situa- ton by building up a more perman- ent and more sufficient agricu1- ture. I urge this, not merely as a matter of service to the country but as good business. The manufacturer who, in this wise, casts bread upon the waters will see it return to him beyond any shadow of doubt.

MAKE SETTING UNFAsHIoNaBrE
(From Outdoor Life)


 A state tuberculosis association b,. recently attempted a campaign to in- duce people to spit, if they have to 1n proper places or to destroy their spI in a proper manner Such a movement cannot be too highly com mended, but when we ston +n tbinL or It. Is it not better to conduct a campaign to keep from splitting alto gether?
 Why do men spit? Women don't Why don't they? It is simply because through hundreds of years it has be- come improper. unfashionab1e and quite outside of the proprieties for woman to spit even in her own home, to say nothing of in a public place.
 Is it not within the realm of edu- ca1onal possibilities at least to con- oucc campaign to make splitting un- popular? There is no physiological reason why man needs to spit. rn- less he has tuberculosis or some sim liar disease, in which case he shou1d surely protect the public by carrying sputum cup. For the average in dlv1dual' however, who goes along the street coughing and spittinr there is not a single Justification for his so doing.
 It is only a matter of a few years comparatively speaking, since men ana women have found it to be m, IaSnlonable and improper to conduct themselves in ways that were once considered proper and which today would be considered nasty and sub Ject one even to imprisonment. Why Nneh' cant we make splitting just as uIilashlonable? There may be some sArtue Tn appealing to men not to splt' because it is dangerous to inc HeaItn or others, but in the long run men VIII learn not to spit a great deal quicker. because it is irnproner 10 do so and because a man will s,b- Ject himself to ridicuIe and reproacb If he does so.
 Tuberculosis associations should colisloer these points in the prepara- uon of anti-spitting literature of vari- ous kinds.

the American project. Gladly ac-

principle. Japan Is ready to proceed
with determination to a sweeping
reduction in her naval armament.
1T will be universally admitted
that a nation must be provided with
such armaments as are essential to
Its security. This requirement must
be fully weighed in the examina-
sffon of the plan. With this require
ment in view. a few notifications
will be proposed with regard to the
tonnage basis for replacement Of the
