CALLS CROWDED CITIES
MENACE TO PROSPERITY

A strong plea against over-crowd-
ing of the cities. followed by an appeal
to seek the countryside. were the high
points OF an address Of c. ]. Blanch-
ard. statistician of the Interior De-
partment, at the noon meeting of the
Twentieth Century Club, in the audi
torium of the Cosmos Club. The ad
dress was illustrated with colored
views and motion pictures obtain. u
by Mr.. Blanchard during his "trip west
this summer.
Legislation which relates to the
home and the welfare of the family
said Mr.. Blanchard, and policies
which seek to preserve the natural
beauties of our country. make a strong
appeal to the women. Coordination of
the activities of their numerous clubs
and other organizations on these inn
portant matters would profoundly i'm
press our lawmakers and the public,
and inevitably would tend to shape
future legislation along broader lines"
We are facing today condition
which, if not remedied promptly, may
necessitate a complete reorganization
of our industrial and economic life.
speak Of decentralization. Our
cities are becoming congested. while
the rural population is barely holdin.
its own. The base of the pyramid of
our civilization, which for 200 years
has rested on the soil, threatens to be
inverted. Herein lies a menace to the
structure OF the republic. We are all
cognizant of the fact that the sta
bility and permanence OF our institu-
lions depends upon a citizenship OF
landowners. Patriotism, loyalty, and
pride of country are not bred in tene-
ments. Each of these qualities Is nur-
tured and attains perfection around
the fireside of the contented home.
"Shrinkage of population in the
country means curtailment of domes-
tic markets. the Unemployment Of
wage earners and a train of attend
ant ills. With the abnormal increase in
land values curing the past decide
agriculture is now regarded as n
closed shop by millions of our land
hungry citizens"

URGES WOMEN TAKE
INTEREST IN SCHOOLS

A challenge to women to take a
deeper interest and shoulder a great
er responsibility in the work of the
public school was given by Mrs. r.
A. Gould, of Peru, in addressing the
civics department of the Woman's
club Tuesday afternoon at MORRISON
Reeves library.
What" she queried, "do you know
about the physical, mental and spir-
itual training your boys and girls are
receiving in the schools?" The ne
cessity of a broad and careful train
ing in the schools was pointed out as
essential if the standards of citizen
ship are to be raised. She added 'it
is woman's work to raise the stand
ard of citizenship" The fact that the
proper sort of home training was not
given to every child necessitated es-
pecial care in the training provided
them in school, as every child should
receive an equal chance, she said
Touching on the future of women
in politics, Mrs. Gould urged that they
not work alone but enlist the service
of the men in their communities in
working with them in their work Co
operation, she said, would bring the
greatest success in their undertakings

SAYS FRENCH ACTION
IS ACT OF HOSTILITY
TOWARD ARGENTINA
(By Associated Press)

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 22.-The feel
ing here with regard to the alleged
refusal of the French government to
permit the Hamburg-South American
liner Cap Polonio to call at Boulogne
Feb. II to pick up Argentine passen-
gers for the voyage to Buenos Aires,
is voiced by LaNacion. The news
paper says that while the action of
the French government surely was not
premeditated, sit is an act of hostil-
ity' toward Argentina from nation
with which she is united by ties of
friendship that have been proved
many times.
LaNacion asserts that it never could
be accused of being Francoprobe, but
that it must characterize this action
as product of the obfuscation" of
the minds of the French authorities
Adding that the incident is blow to
the resumption of commerce with
South America, the newspaper de-
clares France is unable to eliminate
her rival Germany with measures
such as this. 1t was necessary not to
forget that the war was over, espe
cially where third parties were con
cerned; the world was tired of the
contrarieties 1t provoked.

that France had not refused entry
to German ships from Argentina with

ELECTRIC POWER OFF,;
CURRENT IS CROSSED

Power from the municipal plant
suddenly failed Wednesday at noon
due to a very peculiar circumstance.
1t was necessary to switch from the
new turbine unit to the old equipment,
a procedure that required about an
hour
In non-technical language the new
turbine needs the kick Of a cocktail

how somebody put some homebrewed
hootch full of fusil oil and methyl al
cohol into the cocktail mixture, and
the new turbine turned somersalt
and landed under the table
Technically, as Mr.. Weldon, the
plant superintendent, explained the oc
currence, the EXETER current became
crossed in the switchboard when the
men went to switch the current on al
noon. The exeter was reversed in
the process and it was necessary tt
shut down the entire plant and star
anew.
Some damage was done to the
switchboard and this with the time
necessary to get the auxiliary machin
cry into play, was the cause of the
delay
