held prospect of large financial gain
according to present standards.
Biltmore, as an object lesson in max
ing country life pay it's way, is Of no
practical value; almost anything is
possible with Vanderbilt income. And
until country life, as Mrs Vanderbilt
conceives it, is made to pay it's way,
it is not likely to be the rule Of the
land.
The vicinity of all our large cities
is dotted with costly country resi-
dences" that only the few can afford
to occupy and with country estates"
that none can make pay. These are
not the real thing; they are merely the
transplantation of city life in the coun-
try.
It's the surest kind of sure thing
that the country estate which pays it's
own way means work for somebody.

will lay where you can't find 'em-un-
less somebody watches out. There's
golden cream-but the lowing kline
must be MIXED. Agricultural labor
is scarce and high-priced and neither
skilled nor permanent. Here's where
the indepedent income bulks large.
There are city people who fear and
hate the country; they are to the hotel
and apartment born they are creatures
of the crowd and the social whirl; they
have their being in terms of jazz and
moving pictures. To the thinking
American our Twentieth century civil
ization in the big cities is neither safe
nor even sane. And it seems obvious
that in some way the flocking Of the
population to the cities must be coun-
terbalanced by a return to the soil
If the prosperity and welfare Of the
nation Is to continue
And yet to many a good American
perhaps to the average American-life
on the land seems the highest and
best Of callings. He cannot see why

gence and skill. 1t holds forth to him
visions of health, happiness and finan-
cial independence-and a real home.

her mothers side she belongs to the
Stuyvesants and Fishes.
Last spring Mrs. Vanderbilt's daugh-
ter, COrnelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt
was married with much pomp and cere-
mony at Biltmore to Hon. Francis
Amherst Cecil, former secretary Of the
British embassy at Washington. Her
mother thereupon departed for long
trip in Europe and it was confidently
asserted that upon her return she
would yield to some one of her many
suitors.
Well, Mrs. Vanderbilt came back
from Europe the other day, declared
herself to the customs officials as a
''plain farm woman" and proceeded,
for the first time on record, to talk
about her personal affairs for publica-
ton. And here are some Of the things
she said, after intimating that matri-
mony had no place in her program:
am having a little house built for
myself on our estate down in North
Carolina, and the mansion goes to my
daughter and her husband. They are
also going to forsake what is called
society life and aid me in operating
my dairy. My Biltmore home has been
really an immense dairy farm for some
time now. 1 have 200 head of blooded
cows, and I am going to take a per-
sonal interest in developing these to
the highest degree of perfection. In
developing my farm, I am not only
getting a great deal of pleasure out of
life but 1 also feel that 1 am doing
something for my country.
The life of a society woman" is a
hard one; it consumes q vast amount
of energy And what does it give in
return? Nothing. But dairying brings
in a handsome profit, and you see
something tangible as a result of your
efforts! have never cared for society.
1 have always been interested in doing
things that I thought amounted to
something. We are born with the
creative spirit, and If we don't do
something worth while with it, 1T is
quite apt to become destructive.
This writer will not here try to
| answer the questions raised, either di-
rectly or indirectly, by Mrs. Wander
bilt. Obviously several large volumes
would be necessary-if the questions
can be answered at ALL General OBJ
servations which are naturally sug-
gested would seem to include these:
Most Americans doubtless would
think her lacking in common sense If
| she had decided for society and against
Biltmore, especially as she can easily
combine the best of both city and coun-
try life. She is wise to build herself
little house.; the mansion is pre-
posterous as country home. No doubt
the dairy herd can be made a paying
investment; it will not however, pay
for the upkeep of Biltmore. This
Lady BOuntiful' can Of course accom-
plish wonders for the community. And
her sentiments do her credit.
Reports in the American and British
press would seem to indicate that the
old-time English country-estate life is
rapidly breaking up, owing to heavy
taxation and financial difficulties. In
this country, however, a popular trend
toward life in the open, both in recre-
alton and residence, Is a sign Of the
times in the cities. 1t is noted, too
that many women of wealth and social
position are seeking in business an

be able to make the farm"
pay financially? These interesting
questions-and others that naturally
suggest themselves raised by Mrs.
Edith Stuyvesant Vanderbilt of New
York, Bar Harbor and Biltmore when
she says:
am going to live at Biltmore. Many
women in America are firing of the
empty round of mere social affairs.
Before long we may see a country life
In America similar to that we now see
in England. And when this interest
becomes general I can think of no
more remarkable country for home ex-
tstence than America. There would
not be so much unrest and unhappi-
ness If people took real interest in
hfe-and 1 know of nothing more in
teresting than developing a herd of
zoo blooded cows to the highest degree

things has been described as "Amer-

.BLANTON SCORED
FOR RENT ACT STAND
Ball Declares Minority Reported
Venomous and Not Con-
duciVe of Fairness.

THE charges and insinuations Of
Mr.. Blanton in his minority report on
the bill to extend the life of the Dis
trict rent act are uncalled for and
show a venom in this matter which
certainly Is not conducive to fair and
just legislation" said Senator Ball,
chairman of the District committee,
today.
Mr. Blanton, in his minority report,
pointed out that the Senate had
voted an additional $1,000 requested
by hIr. Alfred B. Moore and that Mr..
Moore had exhausted the $500 al
lowed him by the Senate and asked
for the additional amount, which he
needed in investigating various crimi-
nal organizations disclosed in an al
legged secret report he had made to
the Senate"
Representative Blanton also called
attention to the fact that Mr.. Moore
had been indicted on a charge OF en-
bezzlement and that he had been i'm
prisoned in Delaware.
The investigation made by Mr.
Moore" said Senator Ball, was an
tion with the Metropolitan police of
Washington and the real estate board.
His complete report will be published
later. There was nothing confidential
about this report, and ii merely per-
tanned to the first part of the Senate
resolution authorizing survey of
housing conditions in Washington.
