To THE New YORK HERALD The
women OF our country were asked tc
carry the market basket during the

noble boys whom God has given back
to us from the fields of war.
In my neighborhood the stores have
not put their deliveries back-that Is,
have not returned to before the wal
cond.tions-and l ask the women OF our
land to refuse to carry the market
basket for the sake OF the buddies who
have returned to us from ''over there

mass Of men and women, good citizens
out of work. / feel the tradesmen viii be
glad to put the deliveries on again when

a dozen delivery automobiles would be
far better. 1t Is mans work lifting

We hear talk already about the
ghost market becoming saturated, as
it were. But the same doubters
talked about the automobile market
being saturated after a million cars
had been built. The replacement de-
mand in the ghost market is tremen-
dous. In four or five weeks the An
tigonish Ghost will be scrapped and
a new one-that Is, new old one
will be needed in its place. Good

not attract the public; but just let

A Race of Pikers.

Judged by what the British scien-
tist DR.. F. w. ASTON declared in his
lecture in Philadelphia the other
night, the supposedly advanced hui
man race is a race of pikers. Here
we are boasting OF wireless and air
planes and motion pictures while the
really big stuff Is lying idle.
The hydrogen in teaspoonful OF
water, says DR.. ASTON, contains
enough energy to generate 200. 600
kilowatt hours of electrical power. All
we have to do is to break up the
atoms of hydrogen. An atom dies
with its boots on, first putting up a
terrific and explosive battle. But,
shot with four or five million volts
of electricity or some other weapon
not yet devised, 1t gives UP its ghost
and its power
What win become OF the Coal
Barons and those gas and electric
interests which Mayor HYLAy is so
fond of referring to when spoonful
of water yields $1,000 or $4,000
worth of heat and light? All the
present power plants will be scrapped

promise. He expresses fear that once
this great energy is released it might

Raw Turquoise.

Or such somber winter day as this,
With cold rain harsh upon the trail OF
snow
and every hint OF color drowned in gray,
I turn for solace 10 a treasure box
That keeps my wedge OF turquoise in
the rough.
Within it's stony matrix OF warm brown,
Like narrow selvage OF unfinished silk.
That merges to Clipped granite at Its
base,
Is held the demiiunc OF greenish-blue.
As rich In tone as is the iimpid wave
Along Bermuda's reefs OF russet stain.
And radiant as the gemlike tide that
sleeps
Within tho crescent shores or Naples
Bay.
It's marble curve OF texture delicate
As petal OF some shapely fieur-de-lis
That any royal shield would proudly
bear. .+4as
No lapidary with his smoothing tools
Shall free my jewel fake from It's rough
mold.
or cut with craft its fresh unevenness
TO FURNISHED trInkets, that would lose
the cnarm
It ever holds against my duller moods.
As you might md. some day in early
spring,
On rocky ledge beneath gale-tossed
tree,
Bright fragment OF a broken robins egg
And for that vivid shard upon the stone
The hue Of sunset sky through parting
clouds,
Your hope would quicken for serener
days:
So In the siege OF brumal rain and sleet
with all the portals Of fair colors closed
You will not wonder that my turquoise
wedge
Has power TO cleave this pail OF sullen
storm,
And with its glow Of azure exquisite
Revive the fajtcring hope OF halcyor
skies.

Canada, Population.

Tabulated results OF the Canadian
census taken. in 1921 show that the
population OF the Dominion is now
S,772,63i, which is less than that OF
the State OF New York with its 10,
3S5,227 inhabitants in 1920.
Canada's population in the last
decade has increased only 1,476, ,o4S
as against an increase in the previous
decade OF 1855 thus showing a
decrease in. the rate OF growth from
"a per cent. in 1911 to q little more
than 20 per cent. in 1920. The rea'
son for this slow increase is found
chiefly In the war, in which Canada
bore her part with high honor. Aside
from the actual losses OF men in the
war, immigration was practically al
standstill, and II has not yet ap
rarently regained the normal.
Another fact OF interest shown by
the census figures OF 1921 in Canada
Ii that the center OF population Is
slowly moving west. In the United
states the center OF population, which
in 1890 was twenty.three miles east
or Baltimore, Maryland, slowly movet

shippers declared. The Indian national
congress in its meeting last Decem-
ber invested him with sole executive
powers and left to him the appoint
ment Of his successor in case OF any
emergency.
While he has preached non-resist-
ance the blood Of thousands lies at
his door. To his activities are due
beyond any question most of the
thirty-fiye outbgeaks in India in the
last year. To his Indictment must
be credited the recent barbarous muir
der of twenty-one native policemen
at Chauri Chaura in the United Prov
inces. The Mohammedan malcontents
who brought about the disastrous
clash at Moplah say that GANDHI
should bear the chief responsibility
OF the deaths. which resulted. He
has made no pretense of disclaiming
responsibility for the disturbance in
Bombay at the time of the visit of the
Prince Of Wales, when 400 persons
were injured and So killed. After
each of these disturbances he SOL
emnly promised to cease his agita-
tions. In no one case, it is asserted,
has he kept his word. 1t is, in fact,
impossible to escape the conviction
that upon GANDHI and his adherents
rests the responsibility for the pres
ent state Of affairs In India, state
described "as more nearly approach
ing anarchy than has been witnessed
in the peninsula for sixty years"
The estimate that GANpHr himself
openly puts upon his agitation can
not be accepted by the world. He
knows India and he knows the peo-
pie; he knows too the effect of his
sophistry and subtlety upon those
who follow his teaching and accept
his leadership. That his campaign
Of non-resistance and non-cooperation
has stirred India as has nothing since
the Sepoy mutiny is evident. What
may. be the end Of it all is not now
by any means clear, but whatever
the result 1t will be impossible for
GANDHI to- escape responsibility for
fostering movement seriously men,
acing the peace of the world.

An Industrial Realignment.

In an article in the Boot and Shoe
Recorder ARTHUR B. ANDERSON notes
the operation Of certain forces which
are tending toward radical changes
in the organization Of American in
dustries. Great industrial centers
which heretofore have had almost a
monopoly in certain lines of manu-
facture are. facing disintegrating
processes. Smaller plants in smaller
communities scattered all over the
country are making inroads on in
dustrial strongholds long supposed
to be secure against attack,
Mr.. ANDERSON cites the furniture
manufacture OF. the Middle Western
States, which Is now facing strong
competition In the South, notably in
North Carolina. The growth of cot
ton manufacture in the Southern
States has long been an outstanding
example Of the dispersal of an indus
try for many years concentrated
largely in New England. More re-
cent have been the development of
agricultural machinery manufacture
in Texas and the growth of New
Orleans as a shoe producing COM
munity. Through the entire line of
industrial output there are found
many competitors OF the great man
ufacturing centers. which may be
negligible individually but are for
midable in the aggregate.
AS for the causes Of these centrif-
ugal tendencies, they are not far to
seek. With superb water power at
their doors it was always an eco
nomic absurdity for Southern plant
ers to send their cotton thousand
miles or more to be made into cloth.
When certain traditional obstacles
were removed the cotton mill went
to the cotton field, where it belonged.
The manufacture of furniture fol-
lowed southwark the trail OF the van
ishing lumber supply. All this was
logical and inevitable.
But there we're other forces at
work. In the great industrial centers
there have grown UP strongly en-
trenched labor organizations. They
became fertile fields for exploitation
by labor union politicians. Here
the doctrine that voluntary unem-
ployment was preferaD BILE to any wage
reduction and was better than sub
mission to any other than labor union
discipline was continuously preached
and in, many instances reduced to
destructive practice.
From this perennial threat Of
massed strikes and massed strike vio-
lence smaller plants in smaller COM
munities are in a measure immune.
Overhead costs in such communities
are lower. Living conditions for the
employee are cheaper and better. In
a more restricted field the wage
Garner has better opportunity to
understand the relative value OF con-
tinuous employment as compared
with returns reduced by protracted
periods OF unemployment. J.
Thus, instead Of established indus
trial centers absorbing trades in
their, entirety. we have the spectacle
of smaller plants springing up all over
the country and bringing prosperity
and new life to many communities.
