Drift to the CITY.

THE fall in agricultural values and the conse-
i quent centering of public interest upon the
condition of the farmer has had one important edu-
cational result. It, has brought sharply home. to
the business realization of the close relation
between agriculture and business Agricultural pur-
factors affecting business prosperity. Attention has
recently been called to the remarkably close cor
respondence, year by year, between the gross value
OF farm products and the value added to raw ma
terals by the manufacturing industries of the coun-
try. An unmistakable relationship is revealed But
beyond this immediate interest of business in the
agricultural situation, the social and economic i'm
portance of the farmer in American life renders his
problem the of the whole nation The
drift toward the city" has been in evidence in the
United States for many years but it was not until
1920 that more than half of the people of the
country were shown to be city dwellers. In that
year 5I-4 per cent of the total population were
urban and 486 per cent rural In the course of the
last forty years rural population increased from
35,ooo,ooo to sIyoooboo. while. urban population
jumped from 100000 to 100000. The absolute
rural increase during the last years was smaller
than in any previous decade
These figures may be misinterpreted, for the
Nrban increase is in part due to the natural growth
of communities formerly classed as rural The
census data do indicate, however, the rather rapid
urbanzaton of our population, whether due to COM
munity growth or to migration to great cities.
This change in the character of American life has
been going on steadily, bringing with it funda-
mental Transformation in our economic system.

The director, after ALL is the one star in any

The motion picture barely has entered the

the way are those who their bread and butter
by displaying film dramas to the public.
The men gathered in Washington today must
be .idealists with of poetry and art, as well
practical business men, to realize the most from
the business they follow. They are tho guardians
of a powerful medium of expression, as powerful,
perhaps, the pulpit or the newspaper. They
hold tremendous power over public opinion. Few
among them ever have abused this power Some
have made mistakes and then but instances are
indeed where outright effort has been made to
vitiate the taste of the public.

wishes for successful convention and more

A Nice Days Haul.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
have been much interested and
much gratified at your strong edi-
torials on the d. c. traffic situation
especially the 30-minute parking
rule. That's the way to stick up
for the rights of D. c. citizens
You may be interested to know of
a little incident observed the
other day. / suppose there is
some rule about parking with your
left wheel to the curb along Thir-
teenth street Just above E. On
this day Il mentioned one unsus-
pecting motorist broke. this law.
Thirteen others came along and
followed his example. When all
the cars were lined up one of our
dignified representatives of law and
order, with his belly sticking out
like an liberated tooth, came along
and stuck a while card in each car.
There's s2S right there. Quite a
nice days work, Ne c'est pas?
Keep IL up, Mr.. Editor. Some

Washington Restaurants.

To th< Editor. The Washington Herald.
I believe that a word on the res
taurant situation in Washington
may not be amiss at this time.
The capital Of the United States
has some of the best and many of
the worst restaurants in the world.
The fact remains that a man can
not find a good. clean, cheap res
taurant.. By cheap, mean where
man drawing say $40 week can
eat without getting ptomaine
poisoning. The cheap restaurants
here are beyond description. There
is not a single good thing that can
possibly be said about them.
II there Is a single good one I
would like to know about it-a
place where you can get a meal for
35 cents that Is satisfying and yet
can be swallowed without closing
your eyes and hanging onto your
nose. A man who serves the food
of his fellow mortals should be re-
stricted as closely as a doctor or
a dentist. He has as great held
in the service of public health. AS
for myself. I have given up hope.
All I can do is get married. Bet
ter a shrewing and expensive wife
than an arrogant, ignorant res
taurant keeper.

Advice to Brides.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
read with interest in the Open
Court column of your paper a
short tribute entitled Angels and
Women" written by f. B. Acosta.
l should say it is the finest and best
description of what an ideal wife
should be. F. B. Acosta has beau.
tifully pictured the brilliant quail
ties of perfect and ideal type of
woman. 1t Is evident he wrote IL
under the most inspiring moments
that made him visualize such
angelic" qualities in the realm of
vision, because a woman possessing
such qualities does not exist in this
world. II the wives of today have
or at least try to have. even only
one-third of the endowments men,
toned in said article. there would
be no need OF divorce courts in this
country.
The undersigned Is past 20 and
travelled quite extensively, but re-
grets to say that the majority OF
women have met are selfish,
mindful only of their own comfort
and well-being. OF course It is a
good thing to nurse romantic ideas,
but I'm sure the young man who
exalted woman in his tribute will
find out as he gets older that ro-
manticism Is Incompatible in this
materialistic age of ours.
I advise future brides to read
and study F. B. Acosta's article
on The Ideal Type OF WIFE" they
will surely get good lessons out
OF II.
