RECREATION NEED CITED.

Large Population in Restricted
Areas Stressed as Problem.
The concentration of large popula-
tions in comparatively restricted areas
which has followed the industrial ex-
pansion Of the past few decades has
created the problem of providing ade-

alton of children and adults.
A recent survey of the county and
municipal park systems throughout the
country published by the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, which is summarized
in the July issue of the Monthly Labor
Review. shows something of the recrea-

what has been accomplished by differ

The Tariff IN Politics

That the tariff, which has served as a football for
aspiring politicians for over sixty years. will again
perform its usual functions en- the campaign has been
demonstrated from Texas to Dakota and from New
York 10 the Pacific. Wherever politicians are heard
their voices are raised in protest or promise. each out
lining his tariff platform 70 conform with the special
interests OF those whose votes hc desires to secure.
The tariff issue has served politicians and dema-
gogIes for over half n century. II II an issue little
understood By the average voter, and hundreds of
politicians have ridden into office by making tariff
promises which they were never able to fulfill and
which they knew az the time could not be fulfilled.
The great majority Of voters lose sight Of the fact
that the tariff is designed for the entire nation and
not one particular section. Any candidate who asserts
that he can secure protection for certain specified in
dustries or commodities realizes that ne is making n
promise extremely difficult TO fulfill. Every tariff
measure has been the result Of compromises. and the-c
IS nothing to indicate that the tariff bills Of the fu-
ture will not be framed the same way.
Throughout the United states there are now hun
dreds Of aspirantS for congressional honors who are
stamping the districts they aspire to represent and in
forming the voters that they will take care OF tariff!
needs Of their respective districts. in the eastern in
dustrial centers they are promising a greater measure
Of protection for industries; in the agricultural Sec
tions it is higher rates On agricultural products. They
seek TO appeal to the voters upon the basis that the
individual tariff needs Of their respective districts will
be made the paramount issue in the next congress. pro-
viding they arc honored with the authority to repre-
sent them.
From the beginning Of tariff history. the tariff As
an issue has been used BY demagogues and politicians
in efforts to arouse sectional differences for their
personal argrandizcment and to further their political
ambitions. In the final analysis those who make ex-
travagant promises in connection with proposed tariff
rates are almost invariably shown up rs dcmagogues
who re incapable of delivering the goods.
The next session Of congress will frame A new tariff
law. II the democrats are in po.er they will seek -
equalize the protection accorded industry and agricul-
ture. If the republicans are in power few radical
changes may be expected. But the voters should bear
in mind that whatever changes are made VIII be the
results of compromises. and that no amateur in tariff
making will have either the influence or votes neces-
sary to gain his point. This will be particularly true

The World and All
IN NEW YORK
BY Charles z. Driseoli

During the hot weather | have been living alone in
a small apartment in Twelfth street, while my family
is summering in Minnesota. / have not lived in down
town New York for a good many years and the novel
~ Of the existence is a vacation in itself.
There is a high-grade ~speakeasy within sight Of my
front windows. It is one Of those exclusive places.
Meaning that some people actually are excluded,
though ! do not know why.
There are plenty of places where liquor is sold
openly in New York, with meals, where no pretense ct
exclusiveness is made. High class restaurants. with
Understanding doors opening upon F~ifty-fifth street,
serve anything you call for, without any preliminary
inquiry into your pedigree.
But there Is a certain chic note about the exclusive
s~peakeasy. You ring a bell and someone comes to the
door and looks you over. At the one observed from
my front window no cards are issued. Unless the man
at the door knows you or knows someone who is with
you, YOU are not permitted to enter.
But that doorman has a wider acquaintance than
Henry Ford. From 10 o'clock AZ night until the early
morning hours. fashionably attired folk swarm into
the place. The dining room. where excellent meals are
served, is crowded, and there is a small bar for those
who like the feel OF the old-time atmosphere.
There are many such elegant speakeasies in the
downtown area, and they all do a good business. /
have never heard any complaint Of the quality of their
goods. There IS never any fighting or riotous behavior.
so far as | have heard.
Anyone who has any acquaintance in the Broadwas
Fellowship receives cards through the mail signed and
counter-signed and decorated with stars TO indicate the
recipients standing. These are cards Of admission -
various exclusive speakeasies. And the fellow who
gets the card usually feels flattcred BY such attention,
and feels it incumbent upon him to go and spend some
money nov and then at the place 50 honoring him.
There is something interesting in this game Of ex-
clusiveness. II seems silly to talk about an exclusive
department. store. Why should a department store ex-
clude anybody? And OF course it doesn't. But the
biggest Firth avenue department store spends a great
deal Of money creating an atmosphere Of exclusive
ness. 1t is built like a gcsernment office or 4 great
library. No name appears anywhere on it. and YOU are
supposed TO he awed by the doormen in livery and the
floorwalkers disguised as capitalists in morning clothes
or afternoon clothes and diplomatic smile. But Of
course nobody is excluded, and n Harlem watchman
can 20 in and buy if he has the money. But we are I
queer race Of beings, and We like to pay for what W.
like 70 believe is exelusiyeness, even in our saloons.

mission to Hold SynChro-
nizing Experiment.

The nemesis of good radio reception
-~interference--will endeavor TO hold
its king seat against group OF five
radio stations which have received per-
mission from the Federal Radio Com
mission for synchroniging experiments
which, it is hoped, will add to the
knowledge of interference elimination
and permit the operation of more than
one station on single wave length.
Although multitude of suggestions
and proposals for synchronization OF
wave lengths have been received by the
commission. no practical solution Of the
problem has been found. Hence tho
results of the new experiments are
being awaited with no little anxiety
The stations granted permission for
the experiments are WTMJ, Milwaukee,
WSYR. Syracuse; WODA. Paterson, N
j.; VIGIL, New York City, and KpRC,
Houston.
The five stations will undertake
through the experiments. which will be
conducted after midnight Central
standard time, to operate on the Same
wave length, eliminating all hetero-
dynes or carrier wave interference by
the methods of zero beat" Zero beat
is the point where the heterodyne
whistle disappears, denoting the COM
the same wave lengths. with the waves
coinciding The interference thereby
would be eliminated.
In these tests WTMJ key station
would broadcast to each of the other
stations at a given time and have the
receiving station adjust its transmit
tiers to the zero beat" and then would
move to the next station, which. IN
turn, would adjust itself to the zero
beat" until all the stations would be ad-
justed In this manner. all being oper-
ated on the same wave length without
interference.
Should successful means of SYM
chronization be worked out 1t would
prove of tremendous value to radio
both to listeners and broadcaSters. 1t
would substantially solve the radio
broadcasting problem. without making
necessary the reduction of the number
of broadcasting stations now on the air.
This would be brought about by reliev-
ing the present radio wave-length con-
gestion through operation of more than
one station on the same wave length,
