The Riders Of the Rolls.

From jerseys mist enfolded shores and
Far westchester's hills
A burst OF Joyous melody the frosty mid
night fills,
And old ST. Paul'e and Trinity above
the city weave
A wondrous harmony OF bells, FOR this is
New Years Eve.
In every bell spirit rides the vibrant
tongue and filngs
A message TO the listening world each
time II swings and rings
Love, Hope and Faith and Charity, In
dustry. Peace. Good Times
Are speaking TO us In the clear reso-
nance OF the chimes.
Make this a record year." they say,
"of noble thoughts and deeds
And kindly words and honest work---for
only work succeeds.
The broken wing shall soar again, the
fallen fortune rise,
These are the precious promises we
bear you.from tho skies"
From Jersey shores Westchester hills

And old historic Trinity the silver music
falls,
The voices of the spirit band that In the
metal dwells
And ushers IN the glad New Year, the

The Men Who Passed.

A glance at the American obituary
list of 1921 must remind serious men
and women OF the regularity with
which death takes its toll among the
distinguished. The human process
sion goes on unhaltingly, not because
those who stepped out Of the ranks
were superfiuous but in most cases
because their part was so very we'll
done. Their footprints remain on
the path. guide for the generations
to follow. In some cases this year
the passing OF American leaders was
the more to be regretted because it
was untimely; but in the majority of
instances the great men who left the
line forever were such as had come
to the ripeness OF age and had taken
full advantage Of their years and
opportunities.
In the roster Of those upon whom
nfe's curtain fell Ia the past year
are the names Of four men whose
official achievements are memorable:
EDWARD DOUGLASS WHITE, Chief JUS
tice of the United States: PHrLANDEn
G. KNOX, whose services as Attorney
General. as Secretary of State and
as q leader In the Senate debate on
the Versailles treaty are historic;

Wheat Farmers on the Job.

Next harvest the farmers OF the
middle West, nature permitting, will
give the country almost as large a
crop of wheat as that of last season.
This puts an end to talk of q farm.
ers' strike. Despite the scale down
in prices for farm products, which re-
duced the total value of the nations
crops In 1921 to $5,675,S77,000 or
So, ,400, 100000 lower than the year
before. the Department of Agricul.
ture reports that 44,29S,000 acres
have been sown to winter wheat, or
only 1.2 per cent. less than the
44,S47, 900 acres similarly sown in the
fall of 1920.
The area sown to rye is 5,1S4,000
acres, or 22.6 per cent. more than the
4,22S,0o0 acres sown in 1920. The
condition of the winter wheat on De.
cember 1 was only 76 per cent. Of
normal, compared with S7.9 q year
ago and SO per cent. the ten year
average. But the less satisfactory
condition figures are not the farm
er's fault. If his pocketbook was
squeezed so that he was unable to
buy fertilizer the depreciation due to
this cause must be charged against
deflation. For the rest the weather
is to blame.
The condition of the rye acreage is
92.2 per cent. of normal, better than
the percentage Of 90.5 year ago and
even better than the ten year average
of 90.9 per cent.
The farmer has shown his willing
ness to forget hardships past and
gone. He has no time to spend in
crying over split milk. The country
owes him its thanks.

Twenty-s;x Hours IN the Air.

The exploit of the American avia.
tors who beat the worlds endurance
record is more than a personal tri-
umph. II shows the advance of flying
in its most necessary department, for
the quality more desirable than any
other in planes is staying power.
When ALcooK and Brown hoped
the Atlantic they did the 1000 miles
in Is hours, or 125 miles an hour. If
STIysoy and BERTAUD had been flying
eastward at this rate, instead of
lowering over the Mineola Field, they
could have gone from Long Island
to Gibraltar in the 26 hours and 10
minutes that they were aloft.
The record breaking performance is
thoroughly American in men and ma
chinery. It beats the nearest Euro
pean performance by two hours. II
is the kind Of aerial feat that is
worth doing.

SwARrrzzosE, Pa, Dec. 80 ASSOCIATED
Press) Something is wrong with the
solar system. Dr. Ernest w. Brown, head
Of the mathematics department OF Yale,
told members of the American Astro-
nomicai Society to-day at Swarthmore
College. Either the earth's rate of rota-
tion is slowing down or the moon Is
moving faster. This conclusion was
reached by Prof. Brown when he OBJ
served that the days are becoming
longer.
This fact, long suspected and now
verified beyond reasonable doubt, the
Yale mathematician declared, need not
be taken into account in the daily life
of laymen because II amounts TO less
than one thousandth of a second year.
However, ne declared, It was decidedly
annoying to men of science who based
their calculations on the regularity OF
the various units of the solar system.
He said that he had spent years map
ping the course of the moon for several
hundred years, and had compiled a table
of the moons orbit. But apparently the
moon was not following the schedule
and he threw away his mass of inves-
uBdllOnS.
The trouble, he added. is not with the
moon but with the earth, which scientists
use as a clock. Tidal friction on the
earth. particularly in the Irish Channel
and the Bering Sea, are pulling the moon
off its course, Prof. Brown believes, thus
accounting for the loss of a second every
thousand years.
Possibilities OF classifying tens Of

sented in two papers by Fl. N. Russell.

both of whom said that by comparison
of the spectrum lines of an unknown
star with those of one about which much
data has been collected, fairly accurate
could be drawn. Between
1,500 and 1000 stars have been "meas-
ured" at Mount Wilson Observatory by
this system.

The Year in the 'Theater.

In the theater's world the passing 9
year has not been without It's out
ward and visible signs Of conflict.
The indisposition OF the public to
accept whatever the impresarios Of
fer and It's obvious intention to select
Discriminatory only what may be
worth paying to see have had more
than one important result. There
has been a tendency on the part Of
the merchants Of smiles to sell at q
lower price. In many Of the fore
most playhouses tickets are cheaper.
Other results of the theatergoer's
unwillingness TO buy whatever may
be offered have been perhaps as in
evitable, II less desirable. Exagger.
ated representations of loose morals
have been characteristic OF some
plays put forward with the desperate
attempt to pull In the crowd at any
cost to manners. Then followed the
threat Of censorship.
Play after play which in the reck-
less prosperity of the days imme-
diateIy following the war might have
gained some degree of financial sup
port disappeared after q few repre-
sentations. Theaters at their lofty
rentals have stood for weeks IN
used since no plays sufficiently sure
OF success were available. Unem-
ployment among stage artists has
been more common. In addition to
grumbling at the persistent refusal
of the once easily pleased public TO
buy any kind of amusement, mana
gers are also critical of the drama
lists. For the first time in years
there has been general tendency
TO bring again to the stage the old
plays OF the past because the novel
ties of the day are thought to be
inferior to them.
These have been some of the SUI
perfcisl signs that all has not been
as 1t might be on the business side
of the theater, which is SO powerful
in its influence on its literary and
artistic phases. Yet II should not
be argued that prosperity for all the
plays which managers have this year
presented would have been a sign
OF healthy artistic sentiment. After
