hardly behooyes this newspaper to say that In retiring
Mr.. Berger temporarily Milwaukee has made q mistake.
Yet il would be regrettsble if in a democracy like ours
thumbs should be turned down irrevocsbly on this So
cialist's appearance. or any others, in the national
legislature. Socialism in this country has done no hurt
to the social body. Socialists themselves are not bomb
throwers and incendiarists. Although Mr.. Eugene
Debs was frequently pictured as a quite desperate sort
of person, actually he was : most human and Iovable
man Surely it could not be hurtful to this "capi-
tslistic' (f you plssse) political state TO hear a voice
sometimes crying out its ideals. however absurd those
ideals may seem to be to old-line members Of thr
party of great moral ideas"
Socialists speak frequently Of some revolution Of
the future. Most of them do not harbor dreams Of
ricades. Rather they refer to some revolution Of
thought that shall find nations ~clasping hands across
borderlands-onc of these days when the hurtful ten
denotes Of individualistic political states shall be re-.
placed by others not quite so tough mi but calcu-
lated instead to end social poverty and misery in the
world. OF course, any thorough going indiyidualist Is
ready to go to the mat" on the ability Of platform So
cialism permanently to alter mans material condition.
Yet IL can not be anything less than wise for de-
mocracies like ours to have a socialist or two in the
halls Of congress-even for no larger purpose than as
political safety valves. One conceives that a consery-
atism that leans too far backward can becime a menace
that 1t can even hasten some revolution like this Mr..
Berger and his group speak OF.
Better let thought be free under the SUM- II would
be rather an unpleasant state of affairs If the time
came when the presence Of a socialist in congress would
seem TO threaten American institutions. The greater
danger would seem to lie in barring them.

The World and All
WHAT ABOUT CLOTHES.
By Charles 4. DriscoIl

The other day, strolling through the spsciou, halls
OF the Metropolitan Museum OF Art, on Fifth Aven,,
Ne" York, / met a pair Of smartly dressed voury
women one Of whom was wearing her stylish skirt an
proximately four inches above her knees. This while
walking, not sitting. The measurement I give is an
proNnate. but IS confirmed by my wife, who was with
me. Women, you know, are apt TO be rather accurate
about such details Of feminine dress.
! am bound to say that, although this is the most
extreme case Of short-skirtedness I have met in the
city which generally leads in styles. the extremity was
not at all shocking 70 me-. In fact, both the extrcmi.
ties looked quite presentable.
We have become accustomed to knee-lenrth skirts
SINCE the war, and ] firmly believe that women's skirts
though they may fluctuate up and down for the benefi,
OF the style engineers and the sellers Of clothes. will
grower shorter by many inches in tie decade that ~
just before US.
Personally. ! must prefer the short skirts to the
pa'ement-wipers my mother and elder sisters used 10
wear when ! was a child. And ! feel sure that all the
predictions Of utter social ruin which always arc msdo
about women whenever the poor dears spring anv Of
their new styles on Us, are quite without force or va.
hdty. We have learned that society goes bravely on
while the girls display their silk-encased legs from the
knees down. ! am confident that another foot or 50
Of exposure will have no effect whatever upon IN.
Foundations Of the social order. And we had better be
settling our minds about it, for the girls aren't roirr
to stop shortening their skirts just because they hap.
pen to have reached a couple Of knees within the last
three or four years
John CARBOHYDRATES has much that is amusing and
= little that is informative to say about clothing and
lack Of clothing IN a book recently published by Har-
pers, called. for sales sake. The Future Of Nakedness.r
This is the same Mr.. Langdon- Davies who wrote 20
badly in "A Short History Of Women" He is getting
better; this is quite an amusing book.
The substance Of the argument is that the amount
Of clothes worn has absolutely nothing to do with what
We call morality. And when you have thought this
over, remember also that in all ages there has been IN
unceasing clamor about the danger Of the worlds going
t. the devil on account Of the way the women we're
dressing. Let EN- dress as they like. They aren't 90

Soil Surveys

Asserting that much Of The loss on American farms
is d. - the fact that the syersg. land owner has
practically No knowledge CT solids and their pcten-
tislities. the chemists. scientists and surveyors 81 the
federal and state departments of agriculture are urg-
ing shat soil maps he compiled in every agricultural
county in order to arrive at a better knowledge Of the
potentislities Of the soil and assure greater production
az less cost 70 the individual farmer.
Nor. than s~Oo,0oO,oo0 acres Of farm soils have
already been surveyed and mapped in areas covering
over half the agricultural lands Of the United States,
and the soil specialists and map makers have ascertain
ed that practical application Of the soil maps has re-
suited in general improvement Of farming conditions.
equalizing Of taxation and other benefits.
In this day when farm relief is one of the most ism
portant questions before the American people. any pro-
gram designed TO improve agricultural conditions meets
n cordial welcome in both the urban and rural centers.
II is generally conceded that national prosperity de-
ponds upon equalization Of prosperous conditions, and
unless agriculture is equally prosperous with industry
national prosperity is impossible.
The object Of the soil Surveys is to provide for the
individual land owner complete information relative %
soil types and their personalities. Many OF the farm
ers of the United States are endcavoring to produce
crops wholly untitled for the type of soil on which they
arc grown. In other sections lands arc deteriorating
rapidly due to lack Of knowledge Of the proper rota-
tion OF diversification, and these losses merely add 70
the total which is annually checked up to the industry.
Much Of this loss could be averted if the land owner
was familiar with soil types, their respective produce
ing qualities. and tho proper manner Of handling such
soils to assure maximum results.
In those counties which have secured soil surveys.
land owners should make an intensive study Of che
maps and the personalities of the varying types, and
. amply the knowledge so gained to farming operations.
Application Of this knowledge will go far toward re-
lieying conditions in the agricultural sections by re-
ducing to the minimum q source Of loss which takes
far more Of the farmers profits than does the surplus
Of staples or the variations in markets for perishables.

CAVALRY SEEN AS NECESSARY DESPIT
INFORMATION OF ARMY
By MAJOR GENERAL n. &. CROSBY

bs hEA"O NLNL1hAL H. d. GkOSb1
(Herbert Ball Crosby was born at Paramount.
kss, Dec. %, 1871. He was graduated from Engle-
wood high school, Chicago, and the United States
Military Academy. In 1898 he was a second lieu
tenant in the cavalry and has been steadily pro-
NOTED since, being appointed chief Of cavalry with
the rank Of major general in 1926. He served in
Cuba during the Spanish-America war and in
France during the World war. His home is in
Washington, D.. c.
Although increased INFORMATION and mechanization
Of the army can aid its efficiency, il will never be pos
sible for tanks. armored cars and armored airplanes TO
completely take the place Of the cavalry.
The horse soldier, like the foot soldier. can not be
replaced by any machine as yet developed, nor is IT
anticipated that any such machine will be developed.
So long as there are marshes TO cross, rivers to swim,
woods to pass through, or mountains to climb. just so
long will the cavalryman and tho infantryman he nee
essary. Tanks. tsnkettes. armored airplanes. smoke
projectors, gas and all modern means Of warfare in
use, or still to be adopted. cannot take the place Of
the man and the horse. They supplement the efferts
Of the man and the horse, but they do not replace them.
As to equipment and material, the cond:..o and
state Of preparation Of all regular cavalry units
showed progress during the past year. Newly adopted
types Of equipment and material are being supplied as
promptly as appropriation Of funds therefor permit.
The machine gun with which our cavalry is equip
ped lacks any means for converting it promptly into q
weapon against attack aviation. Although for some
years the question Of a suitable adapter for the ma
chine gun has been a matter Of study, SO far nothing
has been provided to remedy this serious deficiency.
Several simple, inexpensive devices are being consid-
cred. and it is hoped that during the coming year all
cavalry machine guns will be equipped with satisfac-
tory anti-aircraft devices.
Recognizing the necessity for e~quipping our cavalry
with a suitable weapon for defense against hostile
tanks and srmored cars. | have initiated experiments
toward the adoption or development Of a suitable
weapon for the purpose. II is hoped to secure a weapon
capable Of being carried on a pack animal. so that the
mobility OF the weapon will approximate that Of The
cavalry horse. Experiments along this line are now
being conducted by the cavalry board.
