racially French population OF Can
ada. To be sure, there are specific
reasons for this tenacity. There are,
for one thing, strong religious infir-
ences and traditions. But back of
all special reasons for the persistence
with which French Canadians have
clung to their s-=,-shor- tongue is the
inherent virility a-io sssauty of the
French language itself, imbedded as
it is in one of the finest literatures
the world has ever known.
The Spanish language in the Amer
icas has met no such competition as
the French has encountered in Can.
ada, yet there is no prospect now that
Spanish will. ever be widely under
mined in the Western Hemisphere.
French, Spanish, Italian and Eng
lish, these four noble tongues are all
too firmly rooted to be supplanted
in the near future. Probably DR..
ELloT had no such thought in his
mind when he used the term pre-.
vailing language. 1t is much more
probable that he meant that English
was likely to become TIA recognized
official language of such international
assemblages as that now in session
in Washington.
But even that consummation is
far from attainment. The Wireless
Telegraph Conferences, both in Lon
don and in Berlin, were conducted
in French. Inability to speak French
on the part of so important partici-
pant in the Paris Peace Conference
as the President Of the United States
gave bilingual character to deliber-
ations which otherwise might have
been exclusively in French. The
language of France dies hard as the
medium of official international inter
course. There was even strong in
sistence that it should be the Ian
Euage of the present conference at
Washington.
Always important. the study of
foreign languages by American youth
was never more important than it is
right now in this epoch Of rapidly
increasing racial comminglings.

The Christmas Candle.
An Old Custom Revived Is Spreading
TO MANY Homes.

To THE New YORK HisRALD: There is
an old Irish legend that a candle in
your window on Christmas eve will
guide the Christ Child to your home
that He may bring you happiness. For
Sc, eral years have been stimulating
a revival of this custom by a leaflet
which will mail without cost to any
body who requests 1t. This leafiet has
lighted Christmas eve candles in thou
saLds of homes all over the United
Stotes and some In India and France.
England, Canada and japan.
TIL. Irish will tell you that the Christ
candle was always lighted in their home
in the Emerald Isle. as it has been for
Boston has had 1t for a decade. In
Rochester 1913 was our first celebration.
The first year a few houses shone, the
second more than thousand, the third
nearly every one. and ii has spread to
town, village and country. Almost every
farmhouse for ten miles around about
Rochester last Christmas eve symbolized
the Star of Bethlehem with: its lighted
candle in the window.
Many persons have asked me, Does
one put a single candle In a single
window or one in each OF ssveral win
dows or multiply them?" A single can
die in the front window is most impress
sve-aGoration one in each window Of
the house is pretty sight-cslebration ;
one at each window pane is the custom
in Boston--festal illumination. For the
single candle one may preferably use a
church candle-1b inches in diameter
and about two feet long, which gives q
more brilliant fame, with the same soft
radiance. JOHN H. STEDMAN.

The Chairwoman's Costume.
Should She Wear Fancy Hat and
Long White Gloves?

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
other night there was meeting at the
Town Hall. presided over not by a chair
man but by a chairwoman. She made
an excellent chairwoman. only her at
tire was too chic and distracted peo-
pies attention from the speakers. She
wore a large fancy hat and long white
gloves which made her at once the most
conspicuous person in the hall.
Now she might have been attared ac-
cording to Worth. but not according to
Cushing. Women should consider that
mass meetings are not social functions
and they should dress accordingly. The
average New York audience is accus-
toned to Jeffersonian simplicity, and II
this chairwoman had been attired in a
plain tailored costume she would have
compared favorably with the average
cha irman.
Nor was she the first chairwoman
guilty of this breach of public meeting
etiquette. GEORGE FENTRIcK.

To THE New YORK HERALD: To the

A Rabelaisian Anniversary.

The President Of France, accom-
panied by four Ministers, went few
days ago to the little south France
town of Montpelier to celebrate the
seven hundredth anniversary Of its
university. This is one of the oldest
universities of Europe and within its
walls PETRARcH studied theology and
RAsFLAIs lectured on GALEN and HIP
PocRATEs as a member OF the medi-
cal faculty. The celebration became
really a memorial to RABELAIs, for
President MILLEBAND unveiled mon
ument with bust Of the witty old
satirist and medallions representing
four of his characters, Gargantua,
Pantagruel, Panurge and Jean des
Entonneurs.
The man whom Montpelier has
just honored walked into the town
about four hundred years ago ragged
and penniless. He would have seemed
severe, dignif1ed man had not a SLY
and pleasing smile played around the
corners of his mouth. This charmed
the grape pickers coming in from
the hills and with the good nature of
the peasants Of the Midi, good ma
ture which RABELAIs so well trans
ferred to his written pages, they piled
him with their rough bread and
new red wine, which, too, RABELAIs
made famous by having it flow so
freely at the monster banquets of
which he wrote.
He became an ornament to the
medical faculty; he played in anna
teur dramatics, he could cook and
concoct new sauces and he made his
lectures interesting with his wit and
his knowledge of human nature. He
began there the writing Of his books
and he studiously observed univer-
s;ty life; the Gargantuan feasts were
not of his imagination but the menus
were those of Montpelier student
banquets.
The peculiar thing about this
Rabelaisian celebration is that it is
perhaps more a memorial to name
and a spirit OF humor than to a man.
Much of the reading world knows of
RABELAIs, but little of it actually
knows his works. Most Of the stock
ideas regarding RABELAIs are incor.
rect. While he fell under the ban of
the University Of Paris, he was well
received at Rome; and the ecclesias-
tical authorities were sufficiently
broad minded to join in the laughter
which his books excited. Instead Of
being expelled from the Church, lie
had his rights in the Order Of st.
Benedict restored and he was made
canon of st. Maur.
His language is seldom more inde-
corous, judged by modern standards,
than Is that of his contemporaries.
The chief difficulty with his writ
ings to-day is that to read them
understandingly demands knowl-
edge of old French, Greek and
Latin, and OF the religious, SCI
entific and political ideas of the
sixteenth century. 1t was his wide
sympathy with human life, with
mans struggle for the development
of the soul and mind, and his keen
sense of how much of it all was conf
cal that gave to his works their en-
during character. When we find
book or a man genially mocking
alike at ignorance and pedantry, at
sentimentality and austerity, then,
says one of the ablest critics of RABE-
LAIs, I'VE may recognize that some
portion of the spirit of the Bachelor
of Medicine of Montpelier is still
alive upon the EARTH"

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1921.
Our National Estate Trillions.


much attention in recent times that
the annual report of ALBERT B. FAIL,
Secretary of the Interior, dwelling on
our domestic resources, is not un
welcome reminder of abounding op-
portunity for creation of new wealth
without journeying beyond our own
national doorstep.
OF national parks. monuments, his
toric reserves and health giving re-
sorts there is no end. America has
made a science of preserving and i'm
proving these places of interest, and
her example is being followed all
over the world. But the enlighten.
ing section of Secretary FALLS re-
port is table appraising the value
of undevelopeS resources still in the
hands of the Government awaiting
only the transforming touch Of capi-
tai and labor to yield an abundance
Of fuel and materials for commerce
and food for the people.
The figures for our national estate
place ffe area Of unoccupied and un-
.eservsi lands at 200, 0,320,12S acres
IND o., reservations, national forests
and withdrawn territory at 232,944,-
GA acres, a total area of 433,265, 102
Scrss, exclusive of Alaska.
Gal in public ownership is esti-
y.tsd at 10000, 100000 tons of btu
,inous, 10000, 100000 tons of SUBJ
4iuminous, and of Ignite $4,000, O,O00,-
ac0 tons.
Oil under public lands is estimated
700.000.000 barrels, shale oil 5O,-
100000 barrels, phosphate 3,500,-
100000 tons, potash 100000 tons.
Under Indian reservations are 600,-
100000 barrels of oil and 100000
c0o tons of phosphate.
In Alaska are 10000, ,00O, 900 tons of
coal of all grades. and 25,000,000 bar
reis of oil.
From hydroelectric development Of
streams on public lands can be OBJ
tained 15,500,O 900 horsepower.
The eventual returns to the Gov
eynment are estimated on these re-
sources at $5, 900, 600, 900 coal royalties,
s175,0OO,OOO oil royalties, $5,000,000
900 oil shale royalties, S0,0O0.OOO
phosphate royalties. $30.O00,000 pot
ash royalties, $1,000, 900 Alaska
coal royalties and s2,500,000 Alaska
foh hn or a.
gering total of s12.3S7 100000.
These royalties. which Secretary
FAIL says are minimum estimates,
furnish the basis for estimating the
total value of the wealth represented.
on the assumption given in the re-
port that actual capital values would
he from one hundred to two hundred
times as much as the royalties, the
resources outlined above would, when
developed. reach the colossal sum of
fifteen hundred billions of dollars, or
about five times the estimated na-
tional wealth at the present stage Of
development, including both public
and private property.
The present national income is esti-
mated at forty billions of dollars a
year, but return even as low as 5
per cent. on this enormous addition
of trillion and half to the national
wealth would raise the annual nG.
tional income by another seventy-five
billions of dollars.
