The passing Of the passport is
gradually being brought about in re-
sponse to a growing disposition on
the part Of the nations to get rid Of
burdensome wartime regulations of
travel. Persons prominent in diplo-
matte affairs here unhesitatingly pre-
dict that as a consequence the time
is not far distant when tourists may
girdle the globe virtually as unham-
pered as in the days before 1914.
The agitation for removal of the
necessity for consular visas upon
passports and letting down of the
bars in border regulations had its in
ception and strongest backing among
strictions upon travel have reacted
upon the commercial life of those ma
tfons accustomed to gather large
yearly harvests from the well filled
pockets of foreign visitors, 1t was
pointed out. and that reaction to the
to carry the pendulum OF travel re-
strictions back to its old position.
Belgium Eases Restrictions.
Belgium was the first to ease the
restrictions upon travel imposed at
the beginning of the war. Convinced
that the necessity for rigid examina-
ton of visitors was at an end with
the coming OF peace. the Brussels
government so modified its restric-
tions that persons passing through
Belgium en- route to other countries,
and persons intending to --'sit Bel
gium for a period not 81 s~sr than
ninety days might do so wi.nout Gre
dentials That move was followed by
agitation in Switzerland for similar
letting down Of the bars, and the re-
cent action of Switzerland in granting
permission for visitors to enter the
country without passport restrictions is
believed to be indicative OF the trend of
thought in virtually all the other Euro
pean countries.
The position Of the United States Is
somewhat different from that OF its
sister nations, 1t is explained by Off
cials Of the State Department. Amer
ica's restrictions on immigration
make it vitally important that the
influx be carefully sorted at its points
Of origin. 1t is said, and for that rea-
son all persons intending to enter
this country must appear before an
American consul and have their pass
ports approved with a visa By so
doing. the prospective immigrant is
spared a trip to this country and
his return homo without being al
lowed to land because the quota of
nationals of his particular country

imaginable sort. You haven't had
as much in Baltimore. possibly. as
some other cities that I have in
mind. You haven't had as much
primarily because of the fact tnat
you are fortunate in having a de.
tective bureau that has been more
concerned about the prevention OF
crime than the detection of it. In
your Baltimore detective department
YOU have men skilled in every branch

four bandits walked into the First

judiciary Of your State is concerned
their case is a closed book. They
are doomed to spend the rest Of their

WHY MEN INTEREST WOMEN

1t Is q rare woman who does not feel
q great deal of interest in men. Few of
us wish to be associated with women
only aud those who do mainly seek rel
gious orders, where we really are assO-
ciating with God and not with women.
The source of this interest is various,
says, "Harpers Magazine" At twenty,
it is mainly the fundamental difference
of sex; at forty it is that, plus the fun
damental difference of character and
above all, plus the attractive circu1n-
stance that men have a free economic
existence, and active, full and stirring
lives Their experience is far richer
than ours; they march cheek by jowl
with events which women come at only
indirectly, through men. 1t may be that
before long the market Of men will be
lower on these points than at present
because of woman's progressive adven-
turing out into the world. But at pres
rnt the one who tends to be static by
the hearthstone of the home will always
be strongly attracted by the one who is
dynamic This attraction is perhaps not
fully recognized by the young wife.
When she waits for her husband to come
home it is the lover she is thinking Of
who will show his joy of returning to
her. But the wife Of forty is keenly
aware that while she sits at home her
mate has, so to speak, taken his sling
and arrows and gone after outrageous
fortune, aRd that presently, quite in his
own terms, he will relate and interpret
to her all that has happened to him.
The young wife muses.: ''Is he going
to notice the new way I have done my
hair for him? Is he going to praise
it?" 7
The middle-aged wife may have such
a thought, but she also thinks II wonder
If anything interesting or exciting has
happened in his world today?"
