NEW YORK IN FIRST PLACE
American Metropolis Has Crowded
Out London as the Largest City
In the World.

New York has surpassed London In
population, according to the New
York city census committee, II the
same radius Of territory is included
within the New York city limits as is
calculated in the London figures. In
statement issued by DR.. Walter Laid
law, executive secretary, figures show
that within radius of nineteen miles
of the City hall there was on January
1, 1920, a population of 344,5OS more
persons than in the metropolitan 20
lice district of Greater London:
says the New York Herald.
Greater London, it is explained, in
cludes not only London county, but
an "outer ring In which the metro
politan police have specified powers
and duties
The Greater London suburban area,
irregular in outline, extends as far In
some directions as nineteen miles
from Charing Cross" says DR.. Laid
law. ut seems proper, therefore, to
include in comparing Greater London
and New York suburban territory
within nineteen miles Of the Cty
hall"
This radius reaches Tottenville, Sta
ten island; part Of Westchester and
Nassau counties, and the part Of New
Jersey that includes Newark, jersey

tiers Immediately adjacent to New

MAINE sHiPYARDs HAVE
DECREASEA OUTPUT

Portland, Maine, JAM N17.-The
gross tonnage of ships prOGuced in
Maine shipyards during 1921 de-
creased $4,000 tons as compared
with the output for the preceding
year. Statistics show that slightly
over $4,000 tons went down the
ways last year, while in 1920, 63,-
600 tons were sent over. While the
figures show a large falling Off from
the peak'of the industry, reached in
1919 when 10000 gross tons were
produced, the ouput is $4,000 tons
above that of the average pre-war
production. Further declines are
anticipated this year.
At Bath, the shipbuilding center
Of the state, to which a majority of
the 1921 production is credited, no
work is said to be in sight except a
government contract for five steel
lightships.
Several yards in Maine have be-
come involved in financial difficult
ties and many others have ceased
building because of lack of demand
and the cost of operation. Although
work has been stopped at most of
the plants in the state, the builders
claim the industry could be revived
in hort time if it were necessary.

silver of magnificent design. The
material was brought by the Queen

The dress will have train of ivory
silk, shot with silver, which is being
woven by hand workers at Baintree,
Essex, an old English silk manu-

The fact that the commission made
recommendations which will virtual

be made before the State board TO
upset these recommendations. Many
of the changes urged are on the
grounds that the books now in use
are unsuitable for further use. The
arithmetics are listed in this class
as are also the histories and langu-
age and grammar series. Other books
in the lower grades are likewise list
ed as unsatisfactory and will, IL the
board adheres to the commission
report, be relegated to make way

Responsibility makes a difference
And Mr.. Harding shows it. He ex-
nlolted no impatience with his critics
out ne used the occasion with splen-
did tact to take fling at some of
the writer's who have been character
1zlng { him as "a Main street presi-
oent with crude literary style. Mr..
Harding isn't particularly displeased
with the references to Main street
II he were to disclose his true feel
lngs 1t would appear that Mr.. Hard
ing thinks it a virtue for the Amer
lean people occasionally to select
someone for the presidency who
knows the simplicity and matter of
fact problems Of the common people
of the United States.
But there was just a touch of
pathos in the Presidents obserya-
tions on his critics. He gave the i'm
preston OF a man overwhelmed by
the awful responsibilities of this era
or economic reconstruction, a man
torn by the conflicting emotions of
an agricultural west and a manufac-
turing east inside the Republican
party, man who was struggling to
make headway against almost insur-
mountable obstacles in the way of
such burden on his shoulders he
was not a little hurt that the critics
should spend their time worrying
about impromptu remarks made by
ne President in conversation with re-
porters and later sent broadcast as
the matured and deliberate utter
ances of nations chief Executive
In this respect Mr.. Harding is not
unlike Woodrow Wilson who suffered
bitter criticism from newspapers be-
cause of certain twists of his liter
ary style. Mr.. Wilson used to think
there were bigger things for the
critics to write about than his style
of expression. Mr.. Harding himself
has found that looking at the presi-
dency from inside the white house
dWarfs in Importance some of the
criticisms which are made about a
nations executive and that while he
is the last person in the world to be
sensitive about honest criticism, he
wonders if the little carping innu-
endoes are necessary for the success
full working of a democracy
The Presidents little talk would
have made much more interesting
reading than his first remarks for
which permission to quote was
sought. But here too Mr.. Harding
took refuge in self-imposed
mOdesty which insists that a presi-
dent should be quoted on things
really worth while, things carefully
thought out and maturely considered
and that the outside world should not
get from the newspapers the i'm
preston of a loquacious executive
with stilted style just because alert
reporters are ready to take down
everything he may say in his waking
hours.
