National Art Gallery.

There is to be no Stacking in the
proposal to build in this city gal
lery for the national art collection.
Sentiment among all persons in the
country who are deeply or mildly inter
ested in art favors the construction
of such a building. and a great num-
ber of persons with no particular in
terest in art feel a patriotic impulse
in this matter. The statement comes
from New York that plans for the
proposed National Art Gallery build
ing at Washington will be submitted
to Congress at the next session by the
American Federation of Art" Sena-
tor Lodge presented a bill at the late
session authorizing appropriation of
81, 600 900 for such building, and IA
yorable action on this measure Will
be sought at the next session. Friends
of the plan in the House stand ready
to press an identical bill in their
branch of Congress.
This is not a movement toward the
creation of a national art gallery.
The national art collection is already
here and has been accommodating for
three-quarterS of a century. During
the past twenty years the collection
has grown fast through gifts from
artists and art collectors, and it may
be fairly described as one of the
worlds creditable collections of art
works. A part of this treasure is on
exhibition in halls of the natural his
tory building of the Smithsonian In
stitution, but these halls were not de-
signed as a gallery of art and are not
an appropriate place for the showing
of art works. Hundreds of paintings
in the collection are stored in base
ment rooms and corridors because
there is no wall space for them. Even
the halls where the paintings hang
are needed by the Smithsonian Institu-
ton for display of scientific collections
which have been shunted to less de-
sirable parts of the building and are
stored in the basement. 1t is said by
artists, and it seems reasonable, that
the nations art collection will grow
faster when the government provides
a proper permanent place for its dis
play.
The secretary of the Smithsonian
and many other public men and pri-
vate citizens of influence have spoken
strongly for an arts building. Regents
of the Smithsonian, and who are also
members of Congress, favor the pro-
posal, and there are many friends of
the plan in Congress.

Hairpins and Bobbed Hair.

What is to become of the hairpin
industry if the bobbing of hair is con-
tinued by modern women? Despite
predictions that the shearing of fem
mime locks would soon pass as a fad,
it is continuing, and would even seem
to be on the increase. And with the
bobbing Of the hair goes a large per-
centage of hairpins. The woman who
needed eight or ten before now uses
only one or two. Some, perhaps, will
use none at all who formerly used
half a dozen or more. SO the hairpin
makers are in despair. The BARRIERS
have knocked the industry galley
west Then, to cap the climax, "a Ger
man hairpin made an appearance in
the American market of a type to
appeal particularly to those with bob
bed hair. 1t has a peculiar quality
which American manufacturers are
now trying to acquire. The bureau of
standards, it is reported, has been
looking into. the matter and has rem
dered some assistance by finding a
way Of tinting wire to the exadt hue
that is now popular. But competition
in hairpins will not be Of any particu-
lar moment if the market disappears.
That is why the American manufac-
turers Of these once Indispensable
articles of feminine equipment are
thinking of Transforming their indus
try to some other lines.

Our Increased Population.

Students Of statistics will be inter
ested in the announcement that dur
ing the calendar year 1923 the popula-
ton of the continental United States
increased 1,943,000, bringing the total
on January 1, 1924, to 112,826,000.
This is according to the count Of the
census bureau, which has a way Of
the states. without recourse to the
sweeping enumeration of the decen-
nial periods. This gain was chiefly
effected during the latter half Of the
year, when the net increase was L.
162, 900, as against TAI, 900 during the
first half. This, 1t is stated, was the
greatest growth in the nations history
in a half-year period. This unusual in
crease is attributed both to immigra
ton and to the lowest death rate
in asimilar period.
The time has come when there is no
particular qualification in the mere in.
crease Of population. Thoughtful per-
sons are beginning to be concerned
indeed, on the score Of congestion in
certain parts of the country. A better
distribution Of the people il more to
be desired than the swelling of the
numbers. If all those who were added
to the continental population during
1928 had been placed, for instance,
west Of the Mississippi the result
would have been for the good of the
country.
More important, however, is the
quality. or what kind are the new
comers who have helped to swell the
population to the 112.s2s, 900 point?

There Is circumstantial evidence that
he was kidnapped, and several people
have been arrested. One Of them is
the editor Of Fascist newspaper, also
a deputy, who, after being questioned
by a Judge. resigned his office and i'm
mediately left Rome. He was over
taken, however. and brought back in
custody.
Mussolinis position is affected by
this scandal, which involves practi-
cally the entire italian governmental
organization. He has pledged himself
to a thorough and unremitting pur-
suit of the criminals and their prose-
cution and punishment. So far as
known there is no accusation against
him, but the prestige of his party is
at stake in the accommodating revela-
tons growing out Of the Matteotti
affair.
Just what became of Matteotti is
not yet determined. There have been
reports that evidence points to his
murder by his abductors. Suspicion
prevails that his body was thrown
into one oi the northern Italian lakes.
That he is dead is generally accepted,
and that he was slain is also believed.
II Mussolini can bring his murderers
to Justice he will regain prestige.
If, however, there is the slightest
sign of slackness in the prosecution
of this crime the Fascist government
may be overwhelmed by a reaction
that has been gathering force for
months and awaits only a favorable
for expression.

An Italian Crisis.

Last Tuesday Giacomo Matteotti, a
Socialist member of the Italian Cham
Der of Deputies, disappeared. Sus-
picion Immediately arose that he was
kidnapped by political enemies. A
motive for this crime was apparent
in the fact that Matteotti had threat
ened to make sensational charges
against certain members of the gov
ernment party. One of the charges
was that Deputy Finzi, undersecretary
of state for internal affairs, had been
grating; specifically, that he had ac-
cepted money to bring pressure to
bear on Mussouni to issue a decree
permitting gambling houses to be
opened at various holiday resorts.

Vacation.

There are thousand preparations
for the last day Of the public school
term. which draws near, and there are
thousands of thoughts that go beyond
the close of school into that fair region
called vacation. There is a great STIR
ring over graduation in the high
schools, and the happy people who are
finishing their studies SO far as the
public school is concerned have many
things beside vacation to think Of, but
still one feels that even they, beyond
the momentous ceremonies in which
they are to take a part, see shady
groves where a hammock swings, a
canoe softly passing through still
water, fields with daisies and where
cowbells clank, and all that sort of
thing
With the boys and girls not yet
close to the graduation point and age
vacation is a most important matter
Many of the boys almost lie awake at
night, SO filled are their heads with
pleasures of expectation. They are
full of plans and golden dreams. In
the rosy future are trips to the wilds
along the canal and river, jaunts in
the wildness that lies beyond the
suburbs, picnics where cake is served
in hunks and the jam may be laid on
thick; and fishing trips; but it would
take a page to tell of the joys that
are planning.
And the teachers. Vacation must
mean much to them. Rest, quiet. re.
life from routine and the strain which
must be on them from their obligation
OF bringing up other persons children.
A good many of us not in the public
schools as pupils, nor yet as teachers,
are also thinking of something that is
not spelled work.

SLIM FARM MARKET
FOR u. S. IN EUROPE
Institute Of Economics Warns
Against Predictions of
Trade Pickup.
COMPETITION IS TOO KEEN
Result of Conditions Developing
Even Before War.

For the United States to plan its
tion that Europe may be induced to
buy large quantities of American
foodstUffs at higher prices than now
prevail would be to build on quick
sand" This is the conclusion OF the
Institute of Economics, based on an
exhaustive study of European needs
European purchasing power and the
competition offered by other food
producing countries. The study has
been made by DR.. Edwin G. Nourse,
member of the council of the institute
and president of the American Farm
Economics Association.
The limited European market
which now confronts the American
farmer" says the institute, lis the
result of conditions which were de
Veloping even before the war. About
the turn of the century American
agricultural exports began to decline
owing to a combination of influences
European countries were increasing
their own production of foodstuffs
and the competition of Canada South
America, South Africa and Australia
for the European markets was in
creasing. At the same time, the
growth of our own domestic market
was lessening our exportable surplus
Reversed by War.
The great war reversed this cur
rent for a time Not only were the
European demands for foodstuffs in
creased, but. in consequence OF the
shipping problem, the United States
became the most available source of
supply. In response to the increased
demand and to the cry Food will win
the war food production was great
ly increased. Prices were high and
| unprecedented prosperity came to our
| farmers, resulting in the disastrous
| land boom with which all are fa-
| miliar.
| Cause of Collapse.
When the war ended it was naive
| ly assumed that these wartime de-
| mands and wartime prices would con-
| tinue Indefinitely. Immediately fol-
| lowing the armistice they did con-
| tinue for time, being made posi-
| BILE by additional extensions of credit.
| This piling up of debts to the United
| States. however. could not go on for
ever. and the inevitable collapse came
in 1920.
| To-day" concludes the institute,
! THE pre-war trend of decreasing ex
ports has been renewed in intensified
| form. Europe's agricultural produc-
| tion is being restored faster than her
| industry, and, consequently, than the
| buying power of her cities. And the
competition of rival producing areas
is keener than ever before. The
whole economic tide is against an in
crease of European demands and high
prices for American foodstufs in the
| immediate future. The solution OF
the farmers ills must therefore te
sought in internal readjustments 10

The Two-Thirds Rule.

A week from tomorrow the Demo
cratic national convention will open in
New York, and within a few hours
perhaps d lively row will start over
the question of the rules. The advo-
Gates of Mr.. McAdoo's nomination,
claiming to hold nearly if not quite
majority of the delegates, would like
10 see the traditional two-thirds nom-
mating vote abrogated. For some time
past murmurs of discomfort with the
ancient rule, which has prevailed since
the first Democratic national conven-
tion, have been heard in McAdoo cir
cles. 1t would only take a majority
vote to change the rule, but so firmly
fixed is the respect for that venerable
mode of nomination as part of the
Democratic principle that much doubt
is felt whether even McAdoo partisans
would uniformly vote to make
change.
4 new angle, however, has been
given to the case. One Of the McAdoo
supporters from the west now declares
that as matter of fact the two-thirds
rule was dropped four years ago at
san Francisco, when the convention
formally voted to adopt as a mode of
procedure the rules of the House of
Representatives This. he now urges,
makes it possible for the tWo-thirdS
rule to be abolished by merely re-
adopting the rules of the 1920 conven
ton.
This course, however, is not as clear
as it might seem. The House rules
that were adopted four years ago were
those of parliamentary procedure. Cox
was not declared to be the nominee of
the convention until he had reached
and passed the two-thirds point. In
the minds of the delegates the two
thirds rule prevails as to a nomina-
ton. 1t would take more than a
blanket vote to establish the House Of
Representatives rules to overcome the
traditional nominating rule. and any
proposition to the effect that the pro-
cedure of 1920 permits the nomination
Of candidate by majority vote is
certain to raise a storm of protest.
Each convention establishes it's own
rules. One of the first things done in
New York after the keynote speech
has been delivered will be to proceed
to permanent organization. when the
committee on rules will make a report
and a vote will be had on its adoption.
II is quite well assured that that re-
port will be watched with the keenest
interest, and anything in it that may
suggest a departure from the two
thirds tradition will be Immediately
and stoutly resisted. A test of the
McAdoo strength may come on that
question.
