That Italian ought to be United

He was right in his judgment on
Fiume, which, with the whole east

belong to Italy, the power that has
developed it and civilized it for the

And he was right in his statement
that the President of the United

made by woman who apparently
knows how to think.
There is wisdom and experience
in that aphorism. Old writers, re-
ligious and otherwise, used up their
imaginations and their dictionaries
trying to make us understand what
a dreadful place the Internal regions
are. They described the fire, the
smoke, the serpents biting out men s
insides, "the worm that dieth not, y
the red-hot iron floors. the fearfully
energetic demons with sharp pitch
forks.
Dantes wonderful work would
seem to exhaust all the possibilities
- of MISUNDERSTANDING men buried
in boiling pitch, showing man
slowly turning into a snake, after
snake has bitten him, showing great
Satan himself frozen by way of
variety up to his waist in ice, and
freezing others with the tanning of
his bat wings.
But all of these descriptions are
not THE REAL INTERNAL RE-
GIONS.
The real hell, or place of torment,
is on this earth; it is in the mind of
a man WHO HAS GOT TIRED OF
LIFE. And the woman who put
that fact into few words furnished
an excellent text for many sermons.
What makes life worth while. at
least bearable, is ACTIVE INTER
EST IN LIFE. The man who is
trying to DO something and who
WANTS TO DO 1T. may fail per-
petually. But his life is endurable
because he is trying.
The man who has lost interest, or
who has never been interested, in
active work knows what real un-
happiness is.
The peddler on the street try
ing to sell few shoe laces or collar
buttons is nearer TO heaven in his
particular kind of fife than the idle,
bored man who has inherited mil
lions and LACKS INTEREST.
The gambler who commits suicide
at Monte Carlo or near Wall Street
kills himself not because he has lost
money, BUT BECAUSE HE HAS
LOST INTEREST AND THE Pos
SIBILITY OF BEING INTEREST
ED. He has got in a condition
which makes gambling his only in
terest in life. And when the posi-
bility of gambling is gone, life ism t
worth while He cannot endure the
Internal condition of disinterested-
ness.
Those who realize what it means
to have no real interest in life
should be able to sympathize with the
idle, and especially with women, so
many of whom lead false, idle lives
in our civilization. They have no
real work to do, the children being
taken care Of by nurses. They have
no REAL interest, nothing that they
contribute to the worlds work or
that they must do. They and men
like them are wretched, miserable,
living in the Internal regions.
If men that are working hard
TOO HARD-could realize what it
is to do NOTHING, to be nothing,
to care about nothing, they would
stick to their work with resigna-
ton, if not with gratitude.
In the Italian prisons, where MUIR
derers, instead of being executed,
are confined for life in idleness,
they die very soon, often insane,
after going through months or years
of mental agony. THEY HAVE NO
INTEREST IN LIFE, AND THEY
BEG PITEOUSLY FOR ANY KIND
OF WORK, THE HARDEST, THE
MOST PAINFUL.
No matter how hard you are
wotking. or how hard your condi-
tions, you don't know what hell
on earth life can be.
That secret is known TO the man
who has no interest in life. nothing
that he must do. NOTHING THAT
HE WANTS TO DO.

 Taking the census of 11o 100000 peo- sple isn't anything like so long job ss tabulating it. The census of 1920 was taken in about one month of actual field work. But the tabulated results are stfil dribbling along. one at time, more than two years after the last nose lad been counted.
 One of the latest computations to be reported is at the same time one of the most interesting and. to such of us as still reason. the most sadly oniinous. .t seems that only 55.3 per cent. of the total population of the country comes from American stock The remainder is of foreign birth-By American stock is meant native whites born of native narents-Of the entire population of the country only a fraction over fifty i've In every hundred come under that head.
 But that isn't the most significant thing about the reckoning. The same rsnsus divides the population into two classes. urban" and rural" The fur ban includes all cities and villages having 2.500 inhabitants or more. The rest Is rural" Now comes in the tre- rnendously significant fact that, in the urban" districts, only forty-five per cent are of American stock while, in Inc 'rurar' districts. seventy per cent are of American stock.
 Commenting on these rather startling figures, The New York. Tribune said the ,ther day that, while New Workers gen srally realized that their city had al enormous foreign population, they "fai 10 see the tendency is toward making New York non-American."
 This certainly is putting it mildly. II g view of the fact that this same censuI shows that New York city has in Its to r al population only 1164,S34 native bor1 whites against 4,2s4.s20 foreign bori z whites, one might be pardoned for won dering what, if that is a tendency, night be considered an accomplished cact

RURAL BRUNSWICK
WANTS FIRE PROTECTION

Brunswick, Feb. VIII the town
make an appropriation to provide
dams for fire purposes is one Of the
pre-town meeting questions in Erurs-
wick. 1t is said th-t the sum OF 81
900 expended in work Of this kind
would prove of greet value to the
fire fighters of the town in fighting
fires in the surburb IN sections.
Briefly. this plan is TO construct
dams upon brooks in certain sections
and so hold back a supply Of water
which will be available for the en-
gincs of the department in responding
to alarms for fires IL those sections.
These sections are beyond the water
service limits and lack Of water IS
always one OF the handicaps 10 tho
flremcn in fighting G'cs in such pll-
ces. This idea of building dams for
fire purposes is supposed to have
by Chief Edwards and his men last
year in combating rarest fires on one
or two occasions. They took the c1so-
line pump OF the c animation truck
and placed it down beside brooks N
the region and so secured a supply
of water. In one case the pump
worked steadily for rinc hours be-
side one of these brooks.
BY putting. in dams greater dopth
and a more certain supply Of water
would be made available, also Il
would be possible to locate these
dams at more accessible places for
the fire pump, than is always TO be
found by the banks Il n brook.

TO Consider Special I
Session Legislature "a
in N. H. Mill Situation


Manchester, N. H., Feb. 16.-Gov.
Albert Q. Brown today made public
his reply to Mayor Charles G. Valid
ron Of Dover, who had requested a
special session of the New Hamp-,
shire legislature to consider, q 4S
hour law for women workers and
minors as possible relief measure
in the present textile crisis. The
Governor stated that he would bring
the matter to the attention Of the
council, which alone has the power
to call special sessions Of the gen.
eral court at If next regular ses-
sion.
AS yet there has been no move
either on the part of the employers
or employees to settle the contro-
versy which caused the walkout. AL
though New Hampshire has a COM
missioner Of labor and board Of ar
bitration neither can function under
the law unless requested to act by
employer or employee were certain
restrictions. Another section Of law
permits the mayor Of city affected by
a strike, the county commissioners,
a president Of a board Of trade. a
president of a central labor union or
five reputable citizens to apply to the
state commissioner or arbiters to act.
None Of these officers have signif1ed
any intention Of seeking attendance.
The mill owners will discuss their
side Of the argument with the Man.
chester Ministerial Association which
already conferred with the workers,
early next week.
The Amoskeag and Stark mills
were surrounded by pickets today. No
disorder has occurred.
