these farmers to have a chance and
fair chance to raise their crops,
because the country wants to be
assured OF a full supply of food for
domestic consumption, with sur
plus for export trade. The question
is how best TO meet this situation,
and the general opinion of farmers
and financial experts alike seems to
be that it is something that would
better be handled by farmers them
selves in given communities acting
in cooperation.
But, at that, the need of the
farmers as a whole being borrowed
money, the call of the cooperating
individuals or organizations still
would be for outside financial sup
port, whether from a banking sys-
tenn or from the Government itself.
And this does not mean fabulous
moneys to be raised only by colossal
taxes. There is no need of that.
The experience of the War Finance
Corporation in the crucial postwar
period of drastic agricultural defia-
tion has proved, as made clear by
Mr.. MEYER, that no immeasurable
money mass is required to finance all
legitimate needs of American agri-
culture. The limit within which
Congress should stay will be wide
enough to take care of the farmers; ;
it will not empty the Treasury.
So wild craftsmanship in Congress
cannot make Of this problem any
thing supernatural; and well bal
anced statesmanship need not regard
any part of it as impossible or i'm
practicable.

The immigration Problem.
Professor Wards Opinion as to the
Requirements of the United States.

To THE New YORK HERALD: In your
recent editorial article on immigration
| and the need of labor / am glad to see
that you do not advocate a general
breaking down of our present immigra-
tion law but rather careful selection
of such aliens as may be needed in this
country.
Many people are misled regarding the
effect of the per cent. law on the
labor supply. 1t should be recalled that
for about eight years. owing to the war,
immigration has been at a low ebb.
During all this time we have not re-
ceived a year on the average as many
new immigrants as can come in annu-
ally under the 8 per cent. law. In other
words, we can be considered to have
deficiency in a normal inflow Of immi-
grants. Further during the recent pc
riod of unemployment large numbers
of foreign born laborers returned to
their homes for the first visit there since
the war began.
AS far back as l can recall there has
been a demand for more immigrants
during every period Of business pros
perity, even when we had practically
10, DSiOie
we had any numerical restriction. The
present demand would exist even IL the
percentage law were not on the statute
books
Our whole system OF employment is
badly organized. Our manufacturers
demand more labor when they need it,
and then during periods OF slack en-
ployment the community is obliged to
support the unemployed. 1t is a good
thing for the large employer. but it is
very bad thing for the public and
for the country.
What we need Is better organization
of the labor market. 1t Is estimated
that there are probably over 1000, 900
casually employed laborers in the United
States to-day. And yet the demand for
more labor, which means cheap" labor.
continues. The best interests Of this
country will not be served II the bars
are let down again. The call for cheap
labor has in the past brought in mil
lions of aliens who have given rise to
our immigration problems"
A carefully limited and a wisely Sc
lected alien immigration is best for the
country socially and politically. and also
best In the long run for American in
dustry ROBERT DEC. WARD.

Women's Shoes.
Enterprising Makers Multiply the
Number of STYLES.

TO THE New York HERALD: one
reason why there are so many STYLES
os women's shoes Is to be found in the
enterprise Of those who specialize in the
finer brands Of footwear for women.
These men think they are not keeping
step with trade unless their product for
each season contains several novelties.
and experts spend months experiment.
ing with combinations Of leather and
clcth to produce something unusual.
The slipper manufacturer outrivals
the shoemaker. for he can bring into
use satins, beads. jet and other orna
ments. But if the women of the coun-
try didn't buy the shoes they would not
be made.
The cost OF lasts and patterns must
be reckoncd in figuring the price of
shoes. Fewer styles would reduce the
cost Of production materially.

Gifts a Man Would Like.

A pocket machine which in the

A device which would prevent the
owner from telling the same story

A bathroom cuckoo clock from
which would pop razor, brush and
soap instead of the conventional
figures.
A pair of slippers which after hav-
ing been kicked under the bed would
creep back to their proper place.
An umbrella or cane which would
bark angrily if left behind in train.
A photograph of himself, if he has
passed 40, as he thinks he looks.
A list of the things his wife really
wants for Christmas.

Colonel Huston Quits Baseball.

With the retirement Of Colonel
TTLLINGHAsT l.. HUSTON from the New
York club OF the American League
baseball loses the active support of a
friend whose aggressive, sportsman
like qualities did much to lift the
professional game to the high plane
and record breaking prosperity it at
tanned after the war. With Colonel
JACOB RUPERT, to whom his half
ownership in the Yankees is about to
pass, he formed partnership which
took the lead in doing away with the
petty squabbles and shortsighted pol
icies which had hurt baseball.
The sale of Colonel HUsToN's half
share in the Yankees recalls the
remarkable growth of baseball, par
ticularly OH the money side. When
Colonel RUPERT and Colonel HUSTON
purchased the club in 1915 they paid
S4SO,000 To-day it is estimated that
the club--a term which covers the
franchise, contracts of players, pres
tige, good will and the new stadium
lis worth at least $3,000,000. 1t is
estimated that the New York club Of
the National League would bring in
the neighborhood Of $2,500,0O0, the
difference between the valuations Of
the two New York major league clubs
Icing accounted for by the fact that
the Giants do not own the land on
which their stadium stands.
The clubs Of the National League
alone are valued at $10,000,000. It's
far cry from values and conditions
which existed when the Giants played
at the old Polo Grounds at 10th
street and Fifth avenue and an In
dependence Day crowd of $4,000
broke all records and brought out
the police It's a far cry from the
annual salary Of $4,000 ROGER Con-
NOR, the fence buster OF the old days,
received to the $65,OOo Babe RUTH
is reported to be getting each season.
Certainly baseball has moved.

Is Man More Sensibly Clad :?

Criticism of woman's clothes is In
the air now. Did the threat of the
sweeping skirt suggest the note Of
dissatisfaction observable in mans
expressions concerning feminine
fashions? 1t makes really no differ
ence, perhaps, since Miss HELEN
LOUISE JOHNSON said in her lecture
on dress at the Brooklyn Institute Of
Arts and Sciences the other night
that reformers would never be salts
fed however woman dressed. OF
course they won't. Reforming is a
business like every other and it must
not end whatever happens.
Nobody tries now to reform the
beauty out Of women's dress as in
the past. AS if out of mere perver-
sity fashion occasionally adopts
without credit the suggestions Of re.
formers and makes things of beauty
from them. Witness the gowns OF
the day, which no longer hang from
the hips but put their weight on the
shoulders of women, where the re-
formers of ten years or more ago al
ways wanted it. Fashion has shown
that this may be accomplished by
creating modish and beautiful
frock instead of a bag. Woman will
never be convinced that there is any
merit in a reform which departs
from the smart and becoming, what
ever may be urged in it's hygienic
favor.
Authorities have been asking lately
il there is any more common sense
in mans way of clothing himself
than there is in feminine modes he
criticizes. Their catalogue of his
garments is not reassuring. Neither
his knowledge of nor his regard for
the ordinary rules of health would
be rated high il judged by the clothes
he wears. A woman must have pre-
pared the list which is meant to
show his lack of reason in the mat
ter.
His feet are incased in heavy socks
which hold not only heat but damp
ness. and over these is covering Of
leather which is practically water
proof. They may be heavy enough
and tight enough to deform the foot
or render the muscles useless through
lack of exercise.
The leg is tightly clothed in under
garments, and as il they were not
confining enough there are trousers
over them. Sometimes a tight belt
thereby contracting the muscles of
the abdomen still further. A stiffly
starched collar makes it almost i'm
possible to use the muscles of the
throat, which is also held tight by
the band of the shirt.
A heavy waistcoat of cotton or
wool presses the chest together while
the sleeves of the coat cramp the
arms. To this pessimistic schedule
must be added a hat which in nine
cases out OF ten is likely to impede
circulation. The oppressive over
coat weighs down the wearer.
Such list seems to presuppose
an unskilled tailor, while it also
bites with feminine sharpness. Yet
it has its value in calling attention
to the most advisable course of con-
duct for those who dwell in glass
houses.

The Last Of the High Boots.

From The Paris tMo.) Mercury
Forty years ago at this season dray loads
OF leather boots were unoaded at Paris and
hauled up the streets to the dealers. The
boxes were pyramIded seven feet high. In
those days only the fastidious wore shoes
and then only on Sundays. At this season
forty years ago boys were looking forward
eagerly to new boots. Every boy kept tallow
and beeswax with which 20 grease his boots.
Now you can't buy pair OF boots In town.
The last firm In the West to make them
was the Giesekes at jefferson city and since
their failure several years ago no boots have
been on the market. The last pair OF fine
boots seen at Paris we're worn by Governor
Charles +. johnson OF st. Louis in 1000. lie
