Maine's Lost Apple.

The Wild Rose Sweeting was It's
name. Willis MURcH found It near
Norway. Maine, close to the boundary
line Of oxford and Cumberland coun-
ties and about fifty miles northwest
OF Portland, Maine. ARTHUR G.
STAPLES. in writing Of once upon a
time New England rural life, tells
the story.
Willis MuRoH had gone afshing.
He was sitting on a rock watching
ihis line when a red squirrel emerged
from thicket with an apple in his
mouth. When he saw Willis he
dropped the apple and scooted. Now
apples are so plentiful In Maine that,
fine as many OF them are, they hardly
count. Wild apple trees also are
abundant and they do not count at
all. Their reputation for bearing
worthless fruit is proverbiaL
To be sure there are exceptions.
The famous Baldwin apple came
originally from Wild apple tree I'm
Massachusetts,. and we have the au-
thofity OF Mr.. STAPLES for it that
even ten years ago the Baldwin had
contributed 500, ,OOO,Oo0 TO the coun-
try's wealth.
But Willis MuRcH knew 70 was a
wild apple that tho squirrel dropped
so he only glanced at II. Then IT'S
unusual color caught his eye he
picked Il up and took bite from it
lie could hardly believe his sense Of
taste. Such an indescribabiy hlG
favored apple he had never befQre
set tooth I'm, and, being a Maine boy
he was familiar with fine apples. lie
hunted for and found the wild tree
from which II came--a sturdy young
tree six inches in diameter at the
trunk and loaded with fruit
Right there Willis quit fishing for
the day. He peeled Off his coat and
nlled It with apples to take home
The neighbors we're amazed and
wanted TO know all about it Willis
kept his secret, but he asked his best
girl to name tho apple. She called il
the Wild Rose Sweeting because the
delicate red Of It's cheek was like that
OF the flower

must be toward the east from the above
cause, and also 10 complete the circuit
or the water which originally came from
the northeast along the equator, as no
hiatus can exist IL water or air comes
from any direction II must be replaced
somehow, however indirectly.
IL the above premises are correct the
bulge in the ocean at the equator has
never been In a state or equilibrium,
and with the eastern and western con-
tinents Impeding the equatorial currents
toward the west the currents in the
north Atlantic of both wind and water
must be and for all past time must
nave been from the west, and a similar
reasoning pertains to the south Atlantic
and to the north and south Pacific.
From the above and from my article
or October the deduction is that II the
railroad to Key West could be continued
to Cuba and thence to Venezuela by
constructing a solid dam across the
Caribbean Sea the result would have no
effect on the climate OF Europe. The
main source OF Europes mild climate
is the heat absorbed by the ocean in
summer and given Off IN winter and
waited 20 the west shore of Europe by
means OF the prevailing westerly winds.
Tho Grand circulation OF the water to
tho west along the equator, then to tho
east across the north Atlantic adds to
this mild effect with the assistance OF
tho westerly winds. Tho same rule as
to circulation pertains to the Atlantic
and Pacific. both north and south Of
the equator
l have read most of tho articles on
this subject by marine writer's and they
agree that prevailing winds follow the
same directions as the ocean currents.
and l will add that the causes are tho
samo generally rs outlined above and
in my article OF October 8.

IT is only four years since the
Armistice-that day when the world
danced and sang and felt that for
ever and ever afterward there would
be peace and Justice
That was day when statesmen
and soldiers were the great figures
OF the earth. Now, after only forty
eight months, all the statesmen
OF Noveru5e Der IL, 1918, have been
,dethroncd. WILSON, CLEMENcEAU,
'CRLANpo-even at last LLOYD GEORGE
had to fall.
And yet the great soldiers Of the
day of the Armistice are serene, their
regulations unblemished and their
hold on their own people quite as
secure as It was when the last shot
Of the war was fred. FocH is still
the Great FocH.
Why cannot there be college in
which the Generals may teach the
Premiers how to make politics as
safe as war?

Ocean Currents.
Western Europe's Climate Not Al.

Nro THE NEW NopK HERALD: Refer
ring 10 my article entitled "Old Gulf
Stream Fiction" published in your
paper October s. 7 believe I explained
from cause 20 effect each successive
phase OF the wind In producing the Gulf
Stream and similar streams north and
south OF the equator In each ocean,
and tho cause of the mild climates on
the northwest shores OF both the east
ern and western continents.
l attributed these effects to the heat
of the sun ut tho equator and the CEN
trifugal force caused by tho daily revo-
luton of the earth on It's axis at the
rate Of nearly 1000 miles an hour at
the equator also explained tho sue
cessive steps fully as TO the winds and
currents caused by the winds.
herein state that the centrifugal
force which caused tho earth to bulge
at the equator when Il was a molten
liquid mass causes the volatile air cur
rents now which in turn produce the
ocean currents. as fully explained in
my article OF October 8. In addition
this centrifugal force caused by the
earth turning TO the east at the equator
nearly 1000 miles an hour causes the
water Of the ocean itself. IA we'll as the

This causes tho water to drag with
direction from the northeast as we'll

centrifugal force toward the equator
and the dragging effect over parallels
Of greater and greater velocity toward
tho cast.
This equatorial ocean current from
the east along the equator, caused by
the ocean Itself Is added to the wind
friction mentioned IN my previous art-
Gle. The air and ocean being volatile

Answer the Red Cross Roll Cali.

To be effective the American Red
Cross must always be ready. and IL
cannot be ready unless II can count
upon the steady support of the citi-
zens who make Il possible. The Red
Cross cannot wait for great emer-
gencies to make its appeals. IL must
30 ready TO take instant action when
The emergencies come.
That Is one reason why the au-
I nuai roll call. which begins to-day,
Armistlce Day, should meet with uu-
heeitating response. Events OF tho

bred In New York, was the best in the

to supremacy have gone glimmoring be-
cause OF her defeat by Der sole oppo-

The track was not to her liking that

latlon movements in this country
were movements from one agricul-
tural section TO another. They were
movements which made an ever
changing frontier. The later popula-
tion movements have been no less
marked. but they haye been from
agricultural districts TO the cities.
There is nothing static about Amer
ica's population.
The formation of a peasant class
IS against the natural impulse OF
American life. There is no tradition
fl this country. as in Europe, work
ing to cause the son to follow in the
path trod by his father. The cities
are insistent in their call for new
blood and the call is still needed by
the boys from the farms, the boys,
from the small towns.

The TakIng Of Sam, Me.heel.

There was a mort OF doughboys there,
/ At the taking OF San Me-heel.
They were on the earth and In tho air.
They were in tho trees and everywhere
At the taking of san Me-heel.
There were boys from the canebrakei
OF Loosian.
And the Bowery spilled its share;
Hnlbillies and crackers from the South
And Texas sent its drawing youth;
The wheatlands wido OF the centra
West,
Rocky New England, gave their best,
AS California through TO Maine,
Mountain and valley, hill and plain,
Forsthe taking Of san Me-heel.
Hub scraping hub their cannon stood
At the taking OF SAN Me-heel,
And the sun came up as red as blood.
And the wind came with saueal;
The wind rose to q screaming yell.
And the rocking guns gave tongue as
well.
A sound as from the depths OF hell;
And hell let loose, those doughboys
came.
And spoke with bullet. steel and flame
At the taking OF San Me-heel.
The jaws OF the trap went snap, went
snap,
At the taking OF SAN Me-heel,
And the wolf was snarling in the trap
As 1t felt those jaws OF steel.
They crushed the base of tho salient
AS It might be a toy of wood.
And gayly over the wire they went
And grinned as It brought the blood;
AS they spilled their blood they laughed
aloud
And knew not that Il was drawn.
Mont Sec they took as leapins cloud
In tho bloody sun at dawn.
Tho bloody sun that turned to gold
And smiled too that 1t should behold
The taking of San Me-heel.
A mighty army found II good,
The taking of SAN Me-heel;
And 1t found itself and rose to food
From the taking of San Me-hcel
1t rose to a food that resistless sped
And the enemy tossed away.
An over France I'm waves 1t swept
1t secured the trench holes, mountains
leapt
and brought another day;
Routing the foe with a rush and roar,
Cleansing the land, now sweet once
more
Yea. doing that and an added scoro
For the land Of the Stars and Stripes
we'll loved;
Proving anew what had been proved,
That the States, all the States, are one
Stirring the consciousness OF race.
Riveting chains that time and place
Shall never break.
Well done, we'll done,

The Rising Postal Tide.

There are various things besides
permanent business revival that can
stimulate postal receipts. A drive by
. correspondence and circulars to get
moro business whom there is not
, enough of it or to speed up business
when IL Is slow; a seasonal rush to
fiji empty shelves; an outpouring Of
uolitical literature In a hot cam
paign; a diversion of small lot traf-
Tic from freight and express chan
.nels TO mail channels when the for
amer rates are excessive--these and
other causes as well as sound ,busi-
ness improvement can account for a
sudden swelling Of postal revenues.
Nevertheless, comparative look
at the Governments postal receipts
for October is interesting. In fifty OF
the largest cities in all sections OF
the United States there was an in
crease of 14.34 per cent. over the re
ceipts for October, 1921, exceeding the
gains In September and in August
In recent months Fort Worth. Texas,
and Akron, Ohio, have been leading
the country in the growth of receipts
at their post Offices. Last month
Fort Worth took first place, with
4 gain OF 4o.3S per cent. There was
only one decrease In October. and
that was in Richmond. Virginia.
There Is nothing sectional about
the increases. They can be observed
straight across the country, either In
the North or IN the South. Thus
New York gained 1857 per cent.
Buffalo 1852, Cleveland I'll, Chicago
1868, Milwaukee 1886, Minneapolis
2t.ss, Sioux Falls 25.55, Butte 15.47,
Seattle 1f.ss.
Or, starting from Atlanta, Georgia,
with an increase Of 1889 per cent.
there are Birmingham. Alabama,
with 2s.52: Little Rock, Arkansas,
eos: Fort Worth 40.3s, Oklahoma
.sCity 23.07, Phenix, Arizona, S0.76;
Los Angeles 26.S5.
With the Governments income
very much less than the Govern
ment's outgo, threatening Treasury
deficit OF between half billion and
three-quarters OF a billion Of dollars,
increased postal receipts, whatever
(. the cause. are welcome enough TO the
Government. especially n they can
help 10 wipe out the deficit OF the
postal service itself. which IN recent
tears has been suffering a heavy loss
for the taxpayers to fnast.

meet great emergencies but also
the thousands of daily emergencies
which form its routine work. They
make another reason for needing the
roll call. Help for the families az
ex-service men, the finding os en-
ployment for ex-service men and
other work growing out Of the war;
dental treatment for children and
other health activities keep the Red

Humor Misapplied.
Harm Done by Giving Bad Name TO
NelghbOrh0od or City.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: The re-
Inonstrance by one OF your correspond
onts against extending the boundaries
OF a|West side district OF Manhattan
sometimes called Helrs Kitchen should
be cordially indorsed. The house where
the name originated was toir down moro
than a quarter of n century aGo, but the
sensational name persisted in the pop
ular'vocabulary. II TO give dog bad
name often works him an inJustica, all
the more Is it reprehensible TO libel a
city neNhborhood. in which reside thou
sands Of clean living law abiding fam
lilies and in which at least the average
number OF honorable tradespeople trans
act their business. with a designation
both insulting and inappropriate.
A similar attempt to be witty at tho
expense OF common fairness will be re-
called In the case of an entire city OF
a nelghboring Stap, which from a com
bination OF unfortunate circumstances
suffered for several years a disagree
able publicity During that time II was
ANNOUNCED that a letter directed 20 a
certain person, with no other address
than Hell" followed by the name OF
the state. was promptly and correctly
delivered to the addressee in tho city
referred TO. This was supposed 70 be
the acme OF humor.
But the influence Of such propaganda.
as 81 might bs termed. Is subtly and
surprisingly injurious. well remember
my own genuine amazement when first
visiting the city with tho alleged bad
reputation to ind It to all outward
evidence clean and orderly. with sunny
streets adorned with attractive homes
and a business district Of well appointed
and patronized stores and shops. Ones
shock Of surprise in such a discovery
accurately measured the degree Of pref
udlce which had been instilled by the
previous defamation. ELIOT WHITE
