Here are some figures of interest
and importance: In 1924 Ghere
were 100000 persons who left
American farms to 20 to the cities.
while 100000 city jewellers left their
urban homes to seek life in The coun-
try.
These figures may mean many
things-and quite likely they dc.
Surely there Is no ONE explanation.
Many come 10 the conclusion ;hat
they will enjoy life more in a new
environment. Many are driven to
seek change by circumstances in which
they find themselves. Some are wan
derers returning to the realm Of their
first life experience.
If then one thing in these
figures o, Eu.=. alton that Is full OF
meaning j, Is that the masses of the
people in America are less bound II
any one place than are the people OF
any other country.
There is absolute freedom of move.
ment in America, and Americans are
more on the move than are Germans
or French or Englishmen. We still
have the lets go and find cut spirit
and it Is one of the best things We
have.
Moss-back tradition will never get
a very tight hold on people that
feels perfectly free to pull up stakes
ana try a whrl at a new game when
the old one grows tiresome or when
it develops a losing streak. May We
preserve this great urge to mote on
in search OF more satisfaction ana
better thingS-for that Is what Il al
amounts to in the end.
There are two great news ceniefs
in America Just now. One Is al
Swampscott and the other is at Day
ton. President Coolidge has his sum
mer capital at Swampscott. Mr.
Bryan has his at Dayton, which l;
probably pretty expensive business
for Florida, which is, of course, an
other story.
Half of the Grade A newspaper cor
respondents are in attendance upon
the President. The other half Is at
tending what has come to be known
as the monkey trial.
1t must have called for some very
nice judgment on the part of editors
in dividing their stalls between these
two leading points of news interest
The Fascist won't stand for an cleo
item before 1929. Another murder Is
committed by thrill fiend. Preslden,t,
Coolidge again has saved the world
China. The Moscow Reds claim all
honors for what has happened IN
China. France, England, Italy and
points west. An Indian saves SIX men
from Death Valley. America sets a
new record in gasoline consumption;

Congress to do something about Il.
