known to this day as Apple Island.
From that starting point apple tree
planting spread. The Indians helped
ON the good work and Indian or
ehards became common. The fame
OF New England apples spread all
over the world. Soon after FRED
ERIcK TUDOR of Boston began export
ing ice to tropical countries in 1905
the expectation of apples as accom-
panying cargoes followed. New Eng
land apples in prime condition were
laid down in all the ice markets of
India, China and South America,
where they commanded quick sales
at high prices.
The American apple still holds its
prestige the world over, but, alas, its
home price has scared to heights
painful to the plain American
citizen.

Woman's Sphere.
Should She Be a Good Housewife or
a Cog In Business?

TO THE NEW YoRK HERALD: In so far
as I can Judge the critics of Elizabeth
Jones. the married fapper. fail to note
what I believe she sought to focus at
tention upon. Mrs. Jones expressed the
opinion that young women were being
developed along wrong lines.
II husband is expected to provide
money with which to maintain home
from the time of the marriage Is 1t
unjust to demand that the wife shall
be competent at the time OF the mar
r!age TO manage the home? There Is
no doubt the woman who discovers
after marriage that her mate cannot
provide money necessary TO support the
home has been imposed upon. Does 1t
not follow that the man who marries
a woman who can neither cook nor
wash. iron nor sew has been imposed
upon also?
Mrs. Jones may be correct In her rea-
soning. Perhaps 1t would be better for
the community and for the nation If
young women could be developed as
potential wives, mothers. home makers
rather than as cogs in the wheel of
commercial life,

Concerning Apples.

The Department Of Agriculture has
crowned Delaware with a champion
ship wreath Of apple blossoms. In
the number of apple trees to the
square mile in her orchards Delaware
leads all the other States. She has
54S apple trees to the square mile.
New York comes next with 2S7 trees.
Virginia is third with 255 trees, and
the State Of Washington, famous for
her apples, takes fourth rank in the
list with only 130 trees.
Throughout the country the num-
Der OF apple trees seems to have re-
mained about stationary during the
last decade. In six States there have
been large increases. totaling 2,491,-
200 trees. bat these figures a-1 Offset

In New England the apple output
has declined with other agricultural
products, which is to be lamented on
sentimental grounds IL on no other.
For New England was the first
American home OF the apple. Early
settlers brought trees from England
and planted them or an island about
three miles out in 2oston harbor,

Chicago's Reign of Terror.

The police, the machinery of JUS
tice and the citizens of Chicago have
met desperate situation with quick
and strong resistance and they seem
to have the upper hand. The indict-
ment of eight leaders of the thug ele-
ment in organized labor on charges
of murder should give pause to the
crew that has been trying to terror
ize the city.
The Chicago conspiracy vas sim
pie and savage. The Chicago build
ing trades agreed to submit their
wage disagreement to an arbitrator,
Judge Lands. Some of the labor
leaders, men OF the type that grows
fat on strikes, refused to accept the
Lands award. When building was
started on the Lands terms it was
bombed. When the police were sent
to protect the property two of them
were murdered. The bombing con-
tinued until Chicago Judge de-
clared that the city was practically
in state of war.
1t was a deliberate war, with the
violence committed in cold blood, ac-
cording to Chief of Police FITzMoR-
RIs. The pay of the bomb throw
ers ranged from $50 for bomb con-
tanning one stick of dynamite to $3.50
for six stick bomb. The criminals
who slugged workmen received from
$50 to $3.50 for each job, the highest
price being paid for breaking the
victims arms or legs.
Chicago is coming in for some
mealymouth criticism because the po-
lice rounded up 400 prisoners in their
raids on labor union headquarters
and because most of the prisoners
were held without bail. But New
York, which recently had taste of
letting the bailed criminal go back
to his crime, knows how the people
of Chicago feel. Chicago is aroused,
and fortunately so. The police have
behind them not only citizens
committee which has raised $6,000,-
900 to end the reign of terror; they
have with them the decent union
men who are shocked by the murder
and rioting done by criminals in the
name of labor.
Chicago's motto is II VIII and 1t
looks as IL she had not forgotten 1t.

of the French Government to allow the

May I answer by asking second
question, What would Mr.. Bankss feel

allow him to import two gallons OF the

Without Shame.

A business agent of the plumbers
union was convicted of extortion
year ago, thanks to the exposure of
his methods by the Lockwood Hous-
Ing Committee. When this man.
CHAPMAN, came out of prison the
union restored him to his place as
walking delegate. The Lockwood
committee put such pressure on the
union that CHAPMAN resigned.
1t developed at a session OF the
Housing Committee on Thursday
that the union, in accepting CHAP
MANS resignation, had expressed
its deep regret" that it had given
him vote of confidence and that he
had been made a member OF the
unions committee on jurisdictional
disputes.
Aren't you ashamed OF your
selves?" asked SAMUEL UNTERMYER,
the committees counsel, of JAMES
MoRRIssEY, recording secretary of the
plumbers union. To this MoRRIssEY
replied that he was proud of the
unions Endorsement of CHAPMAN;
that CHAPMAN was faithful SER
want of the union" and that I'VE don't
regard him guilty; he was carrying
out the mandates of our body"
For all the exposure of their meth
DDS, for all the punishment of their
leading crooks, for all the aversion
which the public feels toward them,
these labor czars have had no change
of heart. Their underlings show no
sense OF the resentment toward them
that all honest men should feel.
BRINDELL is shown up as a scoun-
drel who not only held up builders
and delayed housing but also robbed
the treasury of his own union. But
BgINDELL still rules his union from
his cell. Honest men in the organi-
cation who try to establish clean
methods are thrown out because
BRINDELL hates them and BRINDErL
orders their expulsion.
Why should a minor official like
MoRRIssEY be ashamed of himself
when SAM GosIPERs, the Great Mogul
Of the American Federation, is not
ashamed? Less than a month agol
GoMPERs excused BRINDELL on the
ground that he was affected by q sys-
tenn which had grown up since SAM
PARKS began his rascality-and then
excused SAM PARKS because he had
been poor and the bribes offered to
him had been large.
The System is still defiant and un-
ashamed. BRINDELL will emerge
from Sing Sing a hero. The public !
will suffer until the last ounce Of its
patience is gone. The only hope is
in the continuation Of the Legisla-
tive Housing Committee and the i'm
partial administration of justice.
The bosses will not learn shame.
They must learn fear.

Valuable Thoroughbred Lost.

While fire is one of the dangers
breeders of liye stock have to provide
against, it is seldom that such a loss
is recorded as that suffered by J. N.
CAMDEN and his trainer, J. c. MILAN,
when thirty-one head of their thor
oughbreds were burned to death at
the Lexington racetrack on Tuesday
night.
None Of the Kentucky stables con-
tanned more promising material, both
in the handicap and the juvenile di-
visions. and ma ny of the animals
lost had a large potential value for
breeding purposes. Under the con-
ditions it is thought that $a50,0O0
would be rather under than over the
value of the animals destroyed. Mr..
MILAN said after the fire that he
could have sold two of the two-year-
olds in his lot for $4,000.
1t was from Senator CAMpEN's
stud that the phenomenal filly Miss
Joy came last season to surprise the
racing public by her speed, which was
as great as that of, Norwich, She
was sold to MoNTFoRT JONES early
last year. Those who know some
thing of the capabilities of the horses
in the stable this spring say that
several of the youngsters were of the
highest promise and that Mr.. MILAN
had hopes of duplicating the sue
cesses of 1921 at Saratoga during the
coming August.
Horses are stupid animals when
caught in q fire. They frequently
rush back into the flames after being
taken from burning stables. Tues
day nights fire was supposed to have
been started by lightning and there
was time to save only few of the
thoroughbreds.
Most thoroughbreds, whether kept
for breeding or for racing purposes.
are insured. Those destroyed at Lex
ington were not. Many horse own
ers accept with equanimity whatever
losses may come to them, but few
have the philosophy Characteristic of
the late CHARLES REED, who at one
time owned the Saratoga track in
partnership with JOHN MoRRIssEY
and CHARLES SPENCER.
After REED gave up being soldier
of fortune and became breeder of
thoroughbreds, paying $105.000 for
the Derby winner st. Blaise at the
dispersal sale of AUGUST BELMoNT's
horses, he had large brick barn
built for some Of his best mares at
his Fairview Stud in Tennessee.
One of his servants woke REED in
the middle of the night to tell him the
brood mare barn was on fire. (which
one?" said REED. who was extremely
laconic. "The frame one" was the
reply. Thank Heaven It isn't the
brick." was the rejoinder Of the
sportsman as he turned over and went
fast asleep again.

being from the train but this rich land
is thickly populated. Much more at
tractive also than the gray mud walled
villages OF the plains are the thatched
houses of bamboo and mating clustered
coolly among the trees and sugar cane,
each house generally raised on stills
some three feet Off the ground. The
Burmese doubtless have their failings
-one hears of them--but they are an
attractive people, friendly seeming,
laughter loving, and the Englishmen
who have lived longest In the country
speak even more kindly OF them than
the newcomer when first captivated.
The agricultural laborer and the men,
folk of the very poor may be dressed
only In single strip of cotton cloth of
dirty white, being naked down to the
waist; but the costume of the great
mass of the people OF both sexes-the
white jacketlike garment above and
bright colored petticoat skirt below--is
eminently picturesque and graceful. 1t
Is astonishing also how far down one
goes In the social scale before reaching
t'c PVHit WHcfct A. icdsl on nOllQayS,
the skirt is not OF silk. and 1t is this
almost universal use of silk in every
imaginable shade of the tenderest blues
and greens. pinks and apricot and maize,
that gives the Burmese crowd its dis
tinctive appearance. The gay, small
turbans OF the men and the coiled black
hair Of the women. always with a bright
spray OF flowers. and often richly Jew
elled. are both becoming and attractive
headdresses.
The Burmese-especially the women
seem never to talk together except with
constant ripples Of laughter, and the
children are Joy. Like the high born
Manchu girl among the Chinese. the well
bred Burmese girl is of the most deli
cate porcelain. almost too dainty and
frail to handle. and soms OF the small
