DAIRYMEN DESERVE CREDIT.

The praiseworthy attitude of 80 per
cent. of Birmingham milk producers, in
GLIDING a majority of those dealing in
raw milk, has not escaped public atten-
ton. Their loya. support of the health
authorities and of the sanitary regula-
tons has had an impressive effect. Their
attitude has done more than anything
else to reveal the absurdity Of the COM
plants of the protesting dairymen. Their
stalwart championship of sanitary. pro-
duction of milk has disproved the charge
that the regulations destroy the raw milk
business.
The public health is the main consid-
Grafton, not the private profit. But for
tunately there is more money m the eff
ficient methods of producing sanitary
and safe milk than there is in the old
haphazard and slovenly method of pro
ducing impure milk. The health of this
community is not to be offered up as
sacrifice to inefficiency. For that re-
suit, the enlightened dairymen deserve
a large portion of the credit.

ANATOLE FRANCE.

When Anatole France (Jacques Ana
tole Thibault) died on Sunday, France
lost her greatest contemporary man OF
letters. This writer was versatile, being
in turn and in quick succession novelist,
poet, satirist, master of irony, political
philosopher and anti-cleric. In this last
capacity all his works were put in the
Index Expurgatorius by the Roman Curia
in 1922. In other words, his books were
banned by the Roman Catholic Church.
In 1921 he was awarded the Nobel prize
for literature, distinction he, by COM
mon consent, richly deserved
1t is agreed that two chief Characters
tice marked Frances writings. In the first
place, he was a stylist, one who orna-
mented any thought, no matter how un-
important, with the beauty of his Ian
ruage. He is noted for having always the
isrnot juste," that is, the exact word to
convey his meaning. His second charac-
teristic was the music, the poetry of his
written prose.
AS James Lewis May says of him:
The genius of Mr. France leans to-
wards the small, perfect thing. TIL sus-
tanned flight was not for him. Rather
does he resemble the bee, passing from
a. flower to flower and destilling honey at
least as sweet and delicate as a.y that
Hybba or Hymettus ever gave,
The great Montague also likened him
self to a bee, but Montague meant by
this that he was a confirmed plagiarist,
slimming over the authors of all ages,
approaching all that pleased him and
then setting it forth as his own. France
was not a plagiarist. He may have ex-
pressed old thoughts, but his style was
original and gave new zest to old ideas.
Anatole France was Indifferent to all
honors, even membership in the French
Academy. Honors came his way, but
he did not seek them. His life was not
of men, but of ideas and their fitting

SUPPORT is NOT LACKING.

The city commission asks for evidence
of public support of the underpass plan
for separating the grades at railroad
crossings. 1t is evident that the commits
sion desires explicit popular backing in
the inevitable conflict with the railroads.
If there is any way in which people may
express their sentiments on this ques-
ton, it would not come amiss. Doubt
less the city commission has not more
steadfastly consulted the public interest
nor more carefully studied the situation
ON any other public question than has
confronted them. 1t has taken a resolute
position in spite of imposing efforts to
incline it to the less worthy plan. There
fore, the people would do well to make
their approval manifest.
The commission, however, having pro-
ceeded thus far so worthily, should not
lose heart at this critical juncture, but
should take action without further costly
delay. The commission is not RESPONSE
BILE if the railroads choose to obstruct,
but the commission will be to blame if it
permits the railroads to get way with that
sort of thing any longer. The people
admire official dccisi-eness. The COM
mission can best win support by deserv-
ing it. And it can best deserve it in this
instance by going ahead with the under
pass ordinances, let the chips fall as they

JACK FROSTS a knight in armor-of
spar and crystal jade, of amethyst and
ruby are his cold trappings made, and
where he rides in triumph in sleep the forests
lie. There is no death in autumn--and we
shall never die" As the Adirondack Noun
tain Club walked along a soft earth path
through goldenrod, asters and starry calnpion
in Silver Lake Forest, Westchester, big
black snake darted out of the way to pause
in shrubbery and look back. His nervous,
shiny black tail vibrated among dead leaves,
and sounded like rattlesnake. He went
into a rOck-heap where the first cold will put
him to sleep for the winter.
Box turtles, garden toads and snails were
seeking winter couches in the EARTH Leop-
ard frogs and salamanders haunted warm
springs for beds among wet leaves. Blush
ing dogwood, red naples and Virginia creeper
warn the forest that sleep time comes
apace. Woodchucks seldom leave their bed
rooms. The sparks of life in many plants
have retreated to the roots.
But nothing is dying in the woodlands.
Autumn is Natures sacrament, illustrating
that though we fall asleep, we wake to life

The Right Word
GENTLE CRITICISM

of which was deliberate eEorN corrected on
the day following its appearance And was
the other an error?, Read the following, let
ter and the reply thereto 80
II am venturing where angels, much less
untutored mortals, might well fear to tread,
but pray do not think / am presuming to
criticize "The Right Word l know but
little more about than l have learned from
your interesting column and am fully SEN
sible of the fact that have not yet ad-
vanced far enough to take issue with my
instructor. ..
81 have had no other instructor since
left school when a lad less than fourteen
wears ago. but my teacher of those days was
considered quite an authority on the sub
iect and, remember, very distinctly that
among the bad examples he gave us, to be
particularly avoided we're two expressions
that have appeared in 'The Right Word" and
have not been subsequently pointed out as
faulty.
II refer to at the present time and He
arrived safely This earlier teacher held
that, in the first, the word time was super
flous, and that the second should end with
the adjective instead of the adverb."
1.-THE Right Word" has repeatedly endorsed
the expression He arrived safe, although
there are those who grant that safely is Cor
rect.
with regard to the first expression, the
following from New Standard Dictionary is
quoted for the benefit of w. d. r.: NOW,
adv L. At the present instant; at once; in
stantly; as, do not wait, do it now. 2 At
or during the present time or period Can
you find an error in the foregoing letter?
