THE AMERICAN JUNGLE.

One OF the large financial institu-
tions of New York has asked for bids
for bulletproof arinored motor car
for the transport OF securities through
the streets OF that city. The cost will
probably be about 10000, but this cx-
pcnse Is regarded as n good invest
ment In safety, inasmuch ms the ma
chine, II IL expected, will annually
handle about $500 900 900 In securities
belonging to the company and Its
clients. The company has occasion
now and then to move as much ms
81 100000 worth Mt once.
Losses through the cartIessness of
messengers or tho enterprise Of crimi-
nails often run into the hundreds OF
thousands, sometimes millions. F're-
quently these losses are afterward
made good by the recovery OF the Sc
curlties. but with heavy expense. The
investment of 10000 In an armored
car and the employment OF armed
transport service. Is likely to bt
profitable.

seem that the farmers are following

tho farm worker, when he gives up

cities. But the farmers cannot be

RIPPLING RHYMES.
BY Walt Mason.
TIE Old BOYS.

l live where many old boys
come, to spend their years de-
clining; no more the busy hum
of commerce, they're opining.
The heat and burden of the
day they've borne. 1t seems, for
ages, and now it's up to them to
play, like birds released from
cages. When they arrive they're
all so glad ii does me good to
view them: but soon l see them
looking sad, and fantods come
and chew them. This is the life
they thought would please. in
years of stern endeavor, long
days of play and restful ease.
This is the life of which they
dreamed In years of busy moil-
ing, where trolleys changed and
whistles screamed and weary
crowds were toillng. And now
they wish they might be back
amid the wild commotion: they
walk along the sandy track.
and rubber at the ocean. They
gaze upon the views sublime,
their faces split with yawning,
and spend large portions of
their time dodgasting and dog
coming. Soon, soon. they tire of
luscious ease, of tennis, golf
and fishing, of auto rides and
quilting bees-for Old Hard
Work they're wishing. And one
by one they so away, in motors
bravely chugging, to mix again
in yonder fray where strong men
do their slugging.

THE FARM PROBLEM.

The fact that there are 2o.165 fewer
farmers In the State of Maryland than
there were ten years ago re-empha-
sizes an economic condition that must
give thoughtful persons deep concern.
and must IN some way or other be
rcmedied. At the present rate OF de-
cline there will be no one left to TIL
the soil In that State In ffty years,
- even lees.
While every other branch OF IN
aussriai activity has advanced with
rapidly increasing numbers OF work
crs. farming is losing both operating
owners and hired helpers. Not only
does the farmer md he cannot gain a
living return from HIS lands, but the
farm hands also have learned that

NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT POLICY

Some useful publicity is given TO the
work of the Presidents conference on
unemployment by it's secretary, Ed
ward Eyre Hunt. in an article in the
Survey. AS the writer points out, the
conference is continuing body and
much depends for its success upon
public understanding of it's purposes
and cooperation with it's plans.
Secretary Hoover's recent statement
that the conference already has re-
suited in returning from 100000 to
100000 idle workers was well call

MISS ROBERTsON'S TROUBLES.

Miss Alice Robertson, that nice,
motherly and -eminently sensible
woman from Oklahoma, who repre-
sents her State and her sex In Con-
gress, has troubles of her own and
doubts her denomination, although she
says she will make IA campa ign for it..
One source of Miss Roberts sons doubt
is common to all Congressman. She
says she hasn't been able to get any
pie" while there are IA lot of Re
publicans down in Oklahoma who are
mighty hungry" On that ground all
the Democrats and most of her fellow
Republicans in the House will SYM
pathize with Miss Robertson.
Miss Robertson's other trouble is
with her own sex, and any wise man
will hesitate about stepping in to ad-
just a dispute like that. Miss Robert
son calls attention to the fact that she
mems clubs. They say that she repre-
sents the period of President Grant in
a progressive century. The compari-
son calls attention TO the fact that she
shares Gen. Grants sturdy common
sense in her refusal To be led off her
fads. She has voted against the Smith
Towner bill for aid to mothers, on the
ground that II would create bureau

THE SPIRIT OF THE HOME.
BY Edgar A. Guest.

And always another meal to plan,
Never the tasks of mother end
And Oh, so early her day began!
Floors to sweep and the pies to bake,
And chairs TO dust and the beds to
make.
Oh. the home is fair when you come at
night
And the meal is good and the chill
dren gay.
And the kettle sings in its glad dc
light
And the mother smiles in her gentla
way;
So great her love that you seldom see
Or catch a hint of the drudgery.
Home, you say. when the day is done
Home TO comfort and peace and rest
Home, where the children romp and
run,
There is the place that you love the
best
Yet what would the home be like Il
you
Had all OF it's endless tasks to do?
Would II be home If she were not
there.
Brave and gentle and fond and true
Could you so fragrant a meal prepare
Could you the numberless duties do
What We're the home that you low
so much
Lacking her presence and gracious
touch?
She is the spirit Of all that's fair,
| She Is the home that you think yo,
| build
She IS the beauty you dream of there
She is the laughter with which IT.

Is all that maketh the home wort
